Chapter 1180: Apocalypse Truth

Inside the emergency-halted orbital cannon, the energy mass, charged to its limit, instantly flashed and flickered like a star lighting up then dying out.

The extreme kinetic and thermal energy had no time to be released, and unexpectedly ran rampant inside the barrel.

With a sound of destruction from the forced cutoff, the fortress's operation stalled all at once. To offset the terminated energy, the fortress's energy core had to run overload, bursting out clusters of fire.

The cost of temporarily halting the orbital cannon was extraordinarily high, but the order came from the supreme commander, and the combat system could only obey.

Lord A Rui'er!?

Why... why terminate it!?

Unable to comprehend.

Seeing the aged face forcefully cutting into the console, all the Heavenly Eye People present stood dumbfounded.

Why not kill that Alien Species!? Why would the commander rather damage a main gun than halt their actions!? Their resources are nearly exhausted; every bit must be conserved.

This is also why, at the outset, they hesitated to act for fear of collateral damage.

On the virtual projection screen, A Rui'er's face sank; merely watching the gun muzzle gradually fade, his heart suddenly relaxed.

He did this, of course he had his reasons. Is it heartbreaking to destroy a main gun? Of course it is...

But in the face of his speculation, everything is worth it!

Without any nonsense, he solemnly explained:

"This is the 1039th time Alien Species have entered here, and also the only time an Alien Species has discovered us."

"That monster's data is off! His data is absolutely abnormal!"

"Third-rank peak combat power, infinitely approaching pseudo fourth rank."

"It possesses at least two kinds of rule prototypes in its body, maximum speed Mach 4, its defensive power and spiritual energy reserves equal to at least sixteen third-rank peak cultivators!"

"It possesses three kinds of instantaneous movement abilities, mastering multiple special means."

"The four major attributes are at least above 80 points, and in monitoring, the highest attribute breaks through ninety points!"

With a wave of his hand, A Rui'er directly pulled up the scene of Lin An slaughtering Awakened Ones.

In over a hundred small window screens, all are moments when Lin An took action.

It can absorb the spiritual energy of its kind, and in an extremely short time realize the system's trap, refusing to absorb lower-level Heavenly Eye People.

Such thinking ability and combat power are absolutely impossible for an ordinary Alien Species!

His tone was solemn, with a strong sense of apprehension.

The many Heavenly Eye People High Level in the hall listened to the commander's evaluation, yet still could not understand.

He is indeed strong, but... what's going on?

They have indeed never seen such a powerful Alien Species, but isn't that precisely why they should kill it?

This monster has already exceeded the battle range stipulated by the system; they have the right to kill it.

Seeing that the crowd still seemed not to understand what he wanted to say, Ariel simply gave the final conclusion:

"Theoretically, among each batch of Alien Species that enter, there is an extremely small probability of a third-rank peak lifeform appearing, but in over a thousand batches, it has only appeared three times."

"This monster, even if it belongs to that extremely small probability, its strength is still greater than that of an ordinary third-rank peak!"

"If we let him unleash his slaughter, he could even single-handedly wipe out all other Alien Species!"

"This is unreasonable! Such a powerful individual should not exist! At least among the Alien Species that enter the battlefield, their Apocalypse progress could not possibly produce such a monster! There isn't enough time!"

"Then the only explanation..."

"\"He can only be a Perfect Being! \""

"\"Only a Perfect Being that can appear at the cost of sacrificing an entire race! \""

"\"Perfect Being!? \""

Hearing this word from the commander's mouth, the entire Heavenly Eye People in the hall suddenly seemed to realize something.

Regarding the term Perfect Being, they have a deep, unforgettable, indescribable special feeling.

"That's right, this monster is definitely the Perfect Being of their race!"

"And among Perfect Beings, it is also a powerful one!"

His gaze gradually took on a hint of fervor, complexity, and doubt. The supreme commander A Rui'er's heart seemed to rise with surging waves and a touch of excitement.

To be honest, although he judged that Lin An must be a Perfect Being, he still found it hard to comprehend, even unbelievable.

As for the conditions for a Perfect Being to appear, no one knows better than him.

Over 90% of the same race have died, and the entire race's emotions, thoughts, obsessions, and spirits are all concentrated in one person.

Only when a race is on the brink of extinction can it possibly, like a star's demise, burst forth with light in its final moment. That is a civilization, a world's roar against the Apocalypse! Resistance!

Could it be... that this monster wiped out its own race before entering the battlefield? Logically, the progress shouldn't be that fast...

On the battlefield, the other Alien Species numbering only in the millions—are they the last Survivors of their world?

Does this monster intend to kill every single one of them?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, A Rui'er saw that the crowd had guessed what he intended to do, and simply connected to the hive network.

"I originally thought we would slowly be worn out in this star system, with no hope at all."

"But now... perhaps our turning point has come!"

Suddenly appearing and then suddenly disappearing.

Lin An, his whole body tense, already planning to enter a mutated state, looked with some uncertainty toward the distant fortress.

The sense of mortal threat faded... he even felt no sign of being locked onto.

Moreover, the warships rushing over from all around strangely scattered, as if completely abandoning the attack on him.

What's going on?

With insufficient information, Lin An could not reach any conclusion for the moment.

The next second, only seeing a relatively intact warship nearby, a mechanical construct resembling a cleaning robot slowly flew out.

Greetings, esteemed alien Excellency.

I am Ariel, Supreme Commander of the Marvelous Arm Civilization.

If it's convenient for you, please give us both a chance to meet.

We will answer all your doubts.

Including... your speculation about this apocalypse.

Lin An was uncommonly dazed, watching the projected light screen, on which text was directly labeled as if to make him understand.

And at the center of the screen, Ariel appeared with a pleading expression on his face.

We need to keep Lin An as given.

A trap? Want to capture me alive?

Out of instinctive vigilance, Lin An did not reply to any message.

Although it seemed the other side had inexplicably let him go, in Lin An's heart he did not believe that anything good would fall from the sky.

Why not make a move?

Although he had prepared to reveal all his trump cards, in reality Lin An also lacked the confidence to block that attack just now.

Why would a civilization capable of mastering the instant killing of a Third Rank peak adopt such an attitude toward him?

Why would a civilization capable of mastering the instant killing of a Third Rank peak adopt such an attitude toward him?

Third Rank peak

Under these circumstances, Lin An only felt that everything was beginning to become strange.

This is probably the most incomprehensible thing he has encountered since his rebirth.

The other side seems to be seeking something from him?

As if realizing that Lin An had remained vigilant, on the screen Ariel gave a bitter smile, hesitated a moment, then spoke again:

Please rest assured, if we really wanted to kill you, you would already be dead..

Note: there are two periods after died? We'll keep as is.

To show sincerity, we will cancel the Space Seal.

But please trust us, please give us both one chance.

Don't you want to know what happened here? Or rather, don't you want to know what has become of this world?

As if able to see through people's hearts, Ariel's eyes flashed with a hint of confidence.

He knew very well that this monster, no matter how perverse and cold-blooded, with a mind full only of killing, would certainly also want to know these answers!

Because, back then they also longed for the truth!

But they knew it too late!
