Chapter 58

"Remember the title of Tayzzyronth? The last member of the Insecta..."

"... He became an Aeon precisely because of his longing for companions and his inability to endure loneliness, giving birth to endless offspring for himself."

"..... Loneliness?" Herta hugged her arms and looked at Ruan Mei: "Then are you lonely?"

"... Maybe." Ruan Mei smiled gently.

"Heh, I don't believe it."

The two stopped talking and both focused their eyes on the light screen.

In the light screen, the Calamity Empire's light spears knocked out crisp sounds on the dragon scales.

This rhythmic resonance sound was like music under another physical law from another universe,

and the Aether Dragon, who was vibrating her wings and releasing dragon lightning to the surrounding ships, suddenly stopped her movements.

The light spears shooting at the Aether Dragon gradually returned to the same frequency...

【"The Aether Dragon is not suitable for survival in our universe. That dragon is very strong, but it is not invincible."】

【"The scales on the dragon's body react to the rhythm of the knocking. More accurately..... specific frequencies have a relaxing effect on its subcutaneous tissue."】

【"And there, it controls the scales they use to move and protect against impact."】

【"According to analysis, this conditioned reflex was once a key part of the social behavior between Aether Dragons."】

【"Based on this discovery, I can end the Aether Dragon without using the poison of the Poison Saint."】

【"In this way, we can keep the Aether Dragon's body relatively intact."】

Three scientific research arrays made reports to the Calamity Empire Emperor on the high platform.....

【"Then do it."】

The Calamity Empire's Emperor said in a flat tone:

【"The Aether Dragon does not actively want to exist in this world..... End its pain once and for all."】

The moment the Calamity Empire Emperor's voice echoed in the universe,

the Aether Dragon raised her head, and her scorching eyes revealed deep loneliness.

The light spears knocked on her scales, producing a harmonious frequency, which was the sound from a destroyed universe.

That was the sound of communication between the Aether Dragon's species.

That was the Aether Dragon's hometown, the sound made by the Aether Dragon's companions.

"Sssss!!!!"

The Aether Dragon's scales began to vibrate, making a crisp and pleasant sound like a chime, responding to the non-existent partners.

On the enterprise ship, Aventurine looked at the scene on the light screen and closed his eyes slightly.

That night rain that seemed to drown the entire Sigonia, that night rain that covered the aurora of Kakavasha, that night rain that washed away the blood of all Avgin people, seemed to be before his eyes.

All Avgin people died that night, died under the skinning knives of the Katikans,

except for a child named Kakavasha, who survived because of the protection of the Mother Goddess.

"The last life in a race?"

Aventurine opened his eyes, revealing those gorgeous eyes.

In this universe, no one else had eyes like his.

"Hehehehe..."

A low laugh came from Aventurine's throat:

"Only the Calamity Empire can end the Aether Dragon's pain."

In the light screen,

the first to attack the Aether Dragon was not the Calamity Empire's fleet,

but the suppression from this reality. The physical laws that did not allow the Aether Dragon to survive began to decompose the Aether Dragon's flesh and blood little by little.

The Aether Dragon let out a painful wail.

In the unknown number of long years in the past, she had been enduring this pain.

【"End her pain once and for all."】

The Calamity Empire Emperor's voice seemed to echo in the ears of all sentient beings.

"Aether Dragon, this lonely survivor, is finally going to..."

"I think for the first time that the Calamity Empire is right. The Aether Dragon lives in this world lonely and painfully, and cannot even end her own pain..."

"Now, the Calamity Empire has ended her pain with death..."

The sentient beings in the universe couldn't help but sigh.

Sssss——————

Scorching light spears pierced the void and stabbed into the exposed flesh of the Aether Dragon.

The giant dragon's eyes no longer burst into scorching sparks, and her mouth no longer brewed scorching flames like a star.

Her blood flowed into the void along the cracks burned by the light spears.

Reality couldn't even contain her blood, and the blood turned into light and dissipated in the air, disappearing without a trace.

On the Express, March 7th turned her head away a little unbearably.

"It ended just like that. She spent billions of years on a long expedition without an ending... and finally met death."

"Little March, death is not always a bad thing."

Himeko placed her hand on March 7th's shoulder:

"Death is the end of everything, ending all the burdens, debts, and sorrows of the living."

"Only the final slumber remains... Any life that reaches the end through its own efforts is worthy of respect."

"Oh..." March 7th nodded, half-understanding.

Just at this time, the Calamity Empire's voice sounded on the light screen,

【"Dispatch the re-assignment personnel of the Universal Megacorp 'Post-Death Re-employment Center' into the galaxy where the Aether Dragon is located."】

【"Let the Aether Dragon soar in the sea of stars for His Majesty the Emperor again. This time she will have a place to return to."】

"Post-Death Re-employment Center?" Topaz was stunned looking at this scene.

Post-death, re-employment center, she recognized both words,

but why couldn't she understand them when put together?

People are dead, how can they be re-employed??

Could it be that the Calamity Empire can let dead people go to the factory to screw in screws?

Topaz couldn't help but laugh out loud,

mocking herself for how she could come up with this absurd and bizarre idea...

Of course, Topaz wasn't the only one confused. All sentient beings in the universe were lost in confusion.

"Post-Death Re-employment Center? What kind of unit is this?"

"Solving the employment problem after death? What a niche demand..."

"Could it be decomposing and using corpses? Making them into nutritional cakes or something?"

"Although disgusting, many poor star systems in the universe have this tradition of reusing corpses."

For a moment, all sentient beings in the universe thought that the so-called Post-Death Re-employment Center was the reprocessing of corpses.

".... Post-Death Re-employment Center."

Ruan Mei muttered this word.

"What? Do you have any ideas? Want to eat corpse nutritional paste?" Herta jumped her puppet's eyebrows and asked.

"No, I just thought of one thing..."

Ruan Mei touched her chin and said with interest:

"Do you know that in many civilizations, there is a kind of imaginary terrifying creature?"

"Zombies or the walking dead, in short, resurrected dead people, walking corpses."

"Of course I know." Herta hugged her arms and said: "Life will feel fear for things that look like themselves but are not exactly the same, such as puppets, wax figures, or corpses."

"Therefore, many civilizations have corpse fear, and the zombies derived from it."

"Don't you think..... in the setting of such horror stories, zombies are a perfect labor force?" Ruan Mei pinched her chin and said suddenly.

"Ah?" A huge question mark appeared on Herta's head.

"Tireless, no pain, using zombies to feed zombies, almost no cost, no need to pay commissions..."

Ruan Mei pinched her chin and muttered:

"Although the intelligence is low, simple repetitive work is actually very suitable."
