On the other side, Laplace finally raised his head after studying for a few minutes.
"Did you find anything?" Angor quickly asked. Laplace hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Nothing too big." "Nothing."
"Nothing?" Angor was a little disappointed. He pointed at the giant "pet". "You didn't see it either?" "Nothing."
Laplace shook his head again. "No. It should be a creature from the void. Judging from these images, it's one of those creatures that can be tamed. " "Nothing.
"But you should know that most of the images I see in the Mirror Sea are images from inside the world. It's difficult for the Mirror Sea to receive images from the void outside the world." "Nothing."
The Empty Mirror Sea received the images of the universe on the premise that there was a "mirror surface". Whether it was the reflection on the surface of a pond, or the surface of a drop of water, or an ancient mirror that had witnessed history … the images that the Empty Mirror Sea could receive were all images reflected by these mirrors. The void, on the other hand, was filled with endless darkness. There was almost no "mirror surface" in the Mirror Sea, which was why there were very few images in the Mirror Sea.
Even if there was an occasional encounter, there was a high probability that it was the reflection of some void creature's skin and scales, forming a mirror-like glimpse of a feather. It was extremely rare. Under such circumstances, Laplace did not know much about the Void Creatures.
She couldn't tell what the "Strange Creature" was.
Angor was disappointed, but he knew the limitations of the Mirror Sea. He was hoping to get more information from Laplace, but it seemed that he couldn't do that now.
He would have to ask Rein and the others later.
Since he couldn't get an answer now, he decided to cancel the illusions around him first.
When he was about to remove the third image, which showed the two "masters" on the monster's back, Laplace suddenly spoke, "Actually, I know something about this thing. "Nothing."
Angor paused and looked at the screen again.
There were two races in the image. One was a burly humanoid with purple-red skin that seemed to be on fire, while the other was a gaseous creature made up of various glowing dots, which looked like a miniature "nebula".
"Which one are you talking about?" Laplace pointed at the gaseous creature. "This one. "Is there anything special about it?" Earlier, Laplace told Angor that he didn't find anything. But now, Laplace suddenly pointed at the gas creature and said that he had seen it before.
He didn't know what Laplace was thinking, but he assumed that there was something special about the gas creature that made Laplace so hesitant.
Laplace shook his head. "There's nothing special about it. But if I remember correctly, its race went extinct."
"Extinction? Angor gave Laplace a puzzled look. "You're saying it's a survivor of an extinct species? "
Laplace nodded, but then shook his head. She nodded because she believed Angor's theory was correct. The gaseous creature was probably a "survivor".
She shook her head because the creature might have already gone extinct. What Angor saw was something that happened when it was still alive.
Laplace thought so because Angor mentioned that the scene was recorded decades ago.
As for this gaseous creature race, they had only gone extinct in the past five years.
It was possible that Angor's intelligence network recorded a "survivor", or it might have become a member of the "destroyers" after it returned to its home.
"It went extinct within the last five years?" Angor frowned. "Did some advanced civilization find them and wipe them out?" "Laplace.
Laplace shook his head again. "If it's really a higher civilization suppressing a lower one, they won't be completely wiped out. "That's right.
In a battle between civilizations, only when both civilizations were of similar levels would they kill each other until the very last moment. However, if a high-leveled civilization were to crush a low-leveled civilization, they would rule.
However, a higher civilization would never do that.
Whether it was a hypocrite or not, this was the result.
It was similar to how humans wouldn't try to exterminate low-level animals right away. Instead, they would chase them into remote forests or keep them in zoos.
Only civilizations that were close to each other would do such a thing. This was because the level of civilization between them was almost the same. If they didn't completely exterminate each other, once a single spark was left, it was possible to burn the entire grassland with the help of the east wind.
"So they went extinct because they tasted defeat in a battle against a civilization of the same level? "
Laplace shook his head again. "No. They didn't go extinct because of a battle between two civilizations. It was an unnatural extinction. "
An unnatural extinction was an unnatural extinction of an entire race.
"I'm sure they went extinct because of an external force. But I don't know what kind of force it is. "
Five years ago, Laplace received an image of such a race.
Laplace didn't know what the race was called. However, she knew that they lived in a world filled with a special gas.
There were no continents or oceans in this world. There were only various kinds of gas, clear or turbid.
The closer they were to the outside of the world, the more turbid the gas was. The closer they were to the core of the world, the clearer the gas was.
The core of the world was like a sun-like star, while the outer layer was surrounded by endless dark, turbid gas.
And this race lived in the turbid gas.
The "sun" formed by the clear gas was a place they couldn't sneak into. For example, the clear gas was like the ground of human civilization. Ordinary people could dig into the ground occasionally, but they couldn't live underground all the time.
This race lived in the dark, turbid gas all year round. Also, their bodies were made up of all kinds of bright spots, which made them look like a ring-shaped galaxy from afar.
When the light of the galaxy shone on the turbid gas, it formed a reflective surface, which was why Laplace could see the image of this race in the Empty Mirror Sea.
"On the day they went extinct, I saw the falling of the galaxy and the collapse of the nebula … It all happened in an instant. "
"In just a few hours, the world returned to its original state. There were no more stars. There was only clear gas like the sun, and turbid gas like the black fog. There were no more gaseous creatures. There was only a gaseous world. "
"And from the beginning to the end, I didn't see the reason for their extinction. Laplace sounded a little emotional as she spoke, as if she was lamenting the impermanence of the world.
Angor couldn't imagine it because he didn't see it with his own eyes. Still, he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he imagined the destruction of the "galaxy".
But after that, he had more questions. "If you didn't see the reason, how can you be sure that it was caused by an external force? "
Laplace remained silent for a long time. When Angor thought Laplace wouldn't answer, she slowly said, "Because … this gaseous race wasn't the only one that went extinct. "
"??" "?"
Laplace sighed softly and recounted what he had seen and heard.
Angor was also surprised by Laplace's story. In short, there was only one word to describe it: strange.
In just ten years, Laplace had witnessed the extinction of at least six races. Moreover, they had all disappeared silently just like this gaseous race.
More importantly, all of them were in the Northern Cross Zone, and their coordinates were all in the same "quadrant".
According to Laplace's theory, some kind of unknown disaster must have happened in the Northern Cross Zone, which would lead to the extinction of all civilizations.
This was why Laplace didn't tell Angor about it right away.
This was because even she could feel the strangeness of this matter. The waters were so deep that even Laplace did not want to get involved.
After all …
There were many "supernaturals" among the extinct races. For example, the gaseous creatures that looked like a nebula could survive in the void, travel across space, and tame the Oddballs, which meant that they had a complete supernatural system.
If such a powerful supernatural-like race went extinct for no apparent reason, Laplace would be cautious.
"In the short span of ten years, many civilizations and races have suffered the calamity of extinction? Angor muttered to himself. He didn't expect the answer to be so shocking.
Also, from Laplace's description, it could be seen that the disaster of civilization was not over yet.
While Angor and Laplace were talking, one of the civilizations in the Northern Cross Zone might be facing an unnatural extinction.
Angor couldn't help but feel sad.
As Angor sighed, Luigi suddenly spoke up, "We can't find the origin of the Oddballs, and it has nothing to do with Deacon Goose …"
"But I did notice something. In the image Angor sent, the man who seems to be Deacon Goose's kin looked very anxious, as if he was in a hurry to get to his destination. "…"
"What could make him so anxious? Could it have something to do with the extinction you mentioned? " "…"
Angor and Laplace didn't know what to say.
"You can't put two and two together, can you?" Angor asked. His anxious expression only meant that he had something on his mind. "…"
Luigi also knew that he was forcing the issue. He shrugged and said, "Anyway, I'm just guessing. "…"
Angor looked at Luigi's nonchalant expression and thought of Dorcas the Red Sword. Dorcas had the same nonchalant expression when he said "guesses". But almost every one of his guesses was accurate.
Dorcas had extraordinary senses, which could even be called an "ability".
Angor saw something similar to Dorcas in Luigi, and a ridiculous idea popped up in his mind. Was Luigi's guess right?
The thought only appeared in his mind for a split second before it disappeared like a bubble.
The truth was, the two were not related at all.
Whether Deacon Goose's race was from the Northern Cross Zone or not was still unknown. To speculate that their race might have been wiped out was simply out of the question.
Angor shook his head to get rid of the ridiculous thought. Luigi asked, "Speaking of which, are the surrounding civilizations completely ignoring the extinction disaster in the Northern Cross Zone? Aren't they worried that they'll be affected? " "Yes."
Angor looked at Laplace, hoping to get an answer.
Laplace thought for a moment and said, "Many of the scenes that I saw were not chosen by me. At least, from what I saw, the civilizations around the Northern Cross Zone didn't react much to the disaster. [
In Laplace's opinion, there were only two possibilities. First, the civilizations around the Northern Cross Zone didn't know what to do. After all, most of the people in a civilization weren't supernaturals. Most of them were mortals, and they couldn't do anything about the disaster.
It could even be said that even Extraordinary beings would not be able to react in time when faced with such a formless and ignorant calamity. At most, they could only think of escaping.
How many Transcendents could step into the void? How many of them could survive in the void for a long time and travel across time to reach the extraterritorial realms?
Perhaps the higher-ups already knew about the disaster, but they didn't dare to announce it to the public. Since it wouldn't do them any good, they might as well keep it a secret.
Second, there was another reason why the civilizations around the Northern Cross Zone didn't react. A higher-level civilization must have intervened.
The Northern Cross Zone was huge, and there were civilizations that were as powerful as the World of Wizardry.
In other words, there might be creatures above the legendary level in the Northern Cross Zone.
If such beings came to protect the Northern Cross Zone, the disaster might be averted.
Clank!
Of course, this was only Laplace's guess. She didn't know if there were any higher-level civilizations involved in the disaster.
Angor also didn't know if Laplace was telling the truth. However, Laplace's second point reminded him of something else.
He remembered the guest of the Sentinel, the Theory of Everything scholar from the Nik Academy — Cameron. He came from the Origin World, and his destination was the Northern Cross Zone.
Was it possible that Cameron had gone there because of this strange disaster? After all, the wizards of the Origin World had eyes and ears everywhere in the Northern Cross Zone. Considering the intelligence network of the Origin World, they must already know about the strange disaster. It was very likely that they sent wizards to investigate.
Still, it was only a guess. He would have to ask the watchers when he got back to see if it was true.
