Chapter 399: The Cage of the Exterminators
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Is there a possibility that the lack of metal in your galaxy was actually dug up by a scribe?”
“According to our experience, this civilization often conducts various sociological experiments on a whim. Perhaps they dug up an entire galaxy’s metal to study how this would affect the civilization here?”
The Silent Empire echoed intensely in the ears of the Exiled.
They also knew that the scribes were a group of evil people. At that time, they had exterminated countless galaxies before attracting the scribes. However, the attitude of the scribes was only to think that their extinction had severely affected the observation, not because of the extinction. 𝗳𝐫𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Obviously, this was a group of extremely cold guys. They did not become Exterminators, but they just felt that observing the rise and fall of civilizations was much more interesting than extinction.
Furthermore, it was possible that the scribe had already done many acts of extinction. After all, it was very interesting to observe the sociological samples of the end of civilization. Perhaps the current scribe was once an Exterminator who took pleasure in extinction.
The upper echelons of the Exiled began to carefully recall their history. Their powerful brains were also operating at full speed, digging out all the subconscious and deep memories in an attempt to find evidence that the scribe had left traces in their galaxy. Most importantly, it was about the search for the Observation Terminal.
This thing would basically exist in a secret location in the galaxy as long as a scribe came.
After searching for a while, the Exiled finally found something that might be related to it from the depths of their almost-forgotten memories.
At that time, one of their scientists submitted a report. The content was that their metal detector had discovered a special planet with extremely high metal content in a galaxy. It was almost a solid iron ball.
However, at that time, they were about to leave the parent galaxy and invade a small galaxy group 500,000 light-years away. Furthermore, the long period of collecting metal meteorites allowed them to accumulate a certain amount of experience, so they did not take this metal planet to heart.
After experiencing the benefits of plundering, they had never returned to the parent galaxy, a place where resources were scarce. This metal planet was also gradually forgotten until today.
They could remember this matter because the scientist was a rather famous historical figure. His biography was quite popular.
In the past, when invading other galaxies, the Exiled had often found the Observation Terminal of the scribe, but they had not linked it to the metal planet in their parent galaxy.
Now that they were reminded of the Silent Empire, they suddenly realized that the scribe might have come to their galaxy a long time ago. Even the lack of metal was caused by the scribe.
To their knowledge, a scribe was indeed a civilization that would do such a thing.
“…Could it be that we’ve been sold and we’re helping others count their money?”
“No… At least what we’ve done is indisputably an act of extinction. However, whether we should do this for the scribe is debatable…”
They began to wonder if their current act of atonement had become a tool for a certain experiment of the scribe. Although they were happy to stop an Extermination Civilization like the Hunter here, they were also wondering what the scribe’s goal was.
In the end, it was the negotiator from the Silent Empire who inadvertently asked about something, which made the rest of the people present feel like they were conspiring.
[… Then, have you discovered the Observation Terminal in this galaxy after being here for so long?]
[Since the scribe asked you to come, it’s impossible for them not to have an Observation Terminal here, but we don’t seem to have found it…]
This question enlightened the Exiled because they had searched for this thing when they came here, but they didn’t find any traces of the Observation Terminal.
They thought that the scribe had done this on purpose to prevent the Hunter from thinking that they had sealed this place.
However, how could this group of nasty observers miss such a good show of watching their enemy suffer? This once again confirmed the uniqueness of this galaxy group. The scribe must have some purpose.
[Also, have you… found any signs of other civilizations? You came here a long time ago, but there are no other races among your species. We didn’t find any native civilizations or other civilizations.]
[This galaxy group is too clean. It’s so clean that it’s as if it has been cleaned up in advance. There aren’t even any decent ruins. It’s as if this place was originally so dead.]
[However, according to the habitability of this planet, such a situation is impossible. Even if there is no civilization, at least there should be native lifeforms…]
This last doubt finally shocked the Exiled, because as the Silent Empire had said, there was no other civilization in this huge barred spiral galaxy. To this day, there were only three foreign civilizations: the Exiled, the Hunter, and the Silent Empire.
Then where did the native civilization in this galaxy go? According to the conditions here, it was impossible for no civilization to be born.
In the past, they had been busy building war facilities and survival facilities because they were busy fighting the Exterminator that might arrive at any time. They had never considered this problem.
Now, their suspicion of the scribe had been raised to an extremely high level, and they could hold back the Hunter.
Finally, the entire cage, or rather, the Exile Galaxy, fell into a long-lost peace.
After negotiating with the Exiled and confirming that they were no longer interested in the Wound, the Silent vanished without a trace and returned to silence.
After a large-scale exchange of fire with the Silent Empire, the Hunters no longer came out. Even the Hunters who often wandered outside were recalled, as if they were brewing something.
The Silent Empire simply stayed here. The Exiled didn’t ask them why they were here, and the Silent Empire couldn’t tell them about it. However, according to some limited information, the Silent Empire seemed to be here looking for something. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
As for the Exiled civilization, they began to comb through some details in the long memories that they might have missed, trying to find the truth behind the scribe’s choice.
The three civilizations that were more or less related to Extermination maintained a state of balance in tacit understanding, quietly waiting for the storm to arrive..
