Chapter 318: The stars do not wait, so embrace the stars

"Sigh, although I knew in advance that the 'Thing of Absence' eventually destroyed the entire universe, when I saw the last human being destroyed by it, I still felt very uncomfortable, and my heart felt blocked."

"This is normal. Whether you understand something through text or through video materials, the impact on people cannot be compared... For example, there was a severe famine in the history of the Xianzhou, and the history books recorded it as 'a great famine in the year, people ate each other,' but the cruelty of that period of history far exceeded the endurance of ordinary people, and the tragic situation of cannibalism far exceeded the limit that human reason could accept."

"But is the speed of the 'Thing of Absence' destroying the world too slow... It took decades to completely destroy a civilization that hadn't had time to enter the interstellar era... Destroying the entire universe at this speed, I'm afraid it will have to wait until the heat death of the universe to end."

"Could it be the 'Thing of Absence's' bad taste? But it never showed real intelligence, not even as good as the initial artificial intelligence..."

"Personal opinion, it's very simple for the 'Thing of Absence' to destroy the universe. Just burn everything, convert everything into 'emptiness,' and naturally, it can destroy the universe."

"Finished, throwing flowers! Ready to sleep!"

"Don't be in a hurry, the universe hasn't been destroyed yet. I suggest you wait a little longer."

But the footage continued, and the file content had not ended.

In the footage, night fell.

On the white sea of sand, the "Thing of Absence" stood alone in place.

The entire world was quiet, except for the occasional sound of wind and flying sand, there was no movement.

"My brother, everything is over."

Kira Yoshikage's voice sounded "640," and the void figure seemed to hear the other party's voice, nodded, and set foot on the journey again.

It might have heard the words of the other soul in its body, or it might have just moved unconsciously.

"Thing of Absence," everything is absent.

The desert extended to the boundless horizon, pure white and the scarlet of twilight intertwined, without boundaries, without sharp edges, and all that could be seen were rolling sand dunes.

If a traveler from another world stopped to watch, they might feel its tranquility, even beauty and purity.

Only, this beautiful scenery fell into the eyes of the audience, but they could only feel terror.

On the "Astral Express," Pom-Pom lay on the porthole, staring at the light screen without blinking.

For some reason, the fluffy big rabbit only felt cold wind blowing, as if it had committed a great crime.

It turned to look at Himeko:

"'Trailblazing' until now, I have never seen such a planet. The surface is covered by boundless white sand, without cliffs or huge rocks."

"According to common sense, Pom-Pom should feel this picture is very beautiful, but for some reason, I only feel a chill, Pom."

"Yeah."

Himeko nodded, her eyes calmly watching the footage.

As a member of the humanoid race, Himeko felt more deeply about this unprovoked disaster.

That endless white sand was the remains of all the residents of a civilization, burying the former glory of an entire civilization beneath it.

To put it bluntly, this is a mass grave at the planetary level.

"If you don't know the essence of those white sands, and don't know what kind of tragedy the 'Thing of Absence' created..."

"Such a scene does look very good."

"But if there are adventurers who covet the beautiful scenery and take the initiative to walk into it, I can only wish them good luck."

After speaking, Himeko said no more, waiting for the end of the entire file.

The wilderness was quiet and peaceful.

The cold light from another world was cast down from the sky, pulling a black phantom from the "Thing of Absence."

The arid wind whistled past, making a desolate blowing sound.

The "Thing of Absence" walked diagonally downward, arriving at what was once the seabed.

A rock engraved with the Foundation icon revealed a sharp corner, lying in the white sea of sand. ===== CHAPTER 320 =====
