#226 - Chapter 226 It's Too Late
Meanwhile, tens of minutes ago.
Within Eternal Night City, Blood Clan Plane.
Master Silas was explaining the horrors of the Flesh Harvester civilization to Wu Wei in detail.
“The biggest reason why the Harvester Legion terrified civilizations in the ancient era was because they possessed something similar to….”
Master Silas paused for a moment, choosing a more appropriate word.
“Something similar to memes!”
“Can you imagine, in the reality we live in, there exists a twisted being where flesh and steel are fused together to form a lifeform?”
Hearing Master Silas say this, Wu Wei couldn't help but glance at the “twisted being where flesh and steel are fused together to form a lifeform” in front of him.
“Hahaha, do you think I am such a being?”
Silas manipulated the equipment expressionlessly, laughing with an electronic voice.
“No, no, young lord.”
“My state is not even considered fusion!”
“It’s not even considered a mixture!”
“Because in this body of mine, the dominant entity is still my own flesh.”
“Although my flesh cannot survive for more than five minutes without the nutrient solution, my flesh is still the controller of these machines, the issuer of all commands.”
“However, the Flesh Harvester civilization is a completely different existence!”
“Under that kind of meme pollution, the flesh and machinery on their bodies are truly fused together, inseparable.”
“Although I don’t understand what this fusion state is like.”
“But under such fusion, the harvesters produced by the Harvester civilization will spread rapidly in every world like cancer.”
“Because they can survive and expand in any world!”
“They can expand in harsh environments, in worlds with only metal resources.”
“They can also expand in ordinary worlds with flesh and blood creatures.”
“They are like cockroaches. When you discover a Flesh Harvester warrior in your world, it is often the early stage of the world’s fall.”
“Is their key to invincibility their massive reproduction rate?” Wu Wei asked.
“What about their individual strength?”
“Very weak, but also very strong!”
Master Silas said.
“Their individual strength is very weak. According to data standards, many of their warriors can only be considered elites.”
“But due to the meme pollution, any Harvester warrior is ridiculously strong.”
“Because they possess a domain-like ability that can completely nullify your attacks.”
“As long as you are within their domain, even if you are a legendary mage, you cannot harm them.”
“How is that possible?” Wu Wei frowned.
Wu Wei thought that Master Silas's words were too shocking.
Because Wu Wei realized that if there really were creatures of this level in the ancient era, no, monsters.
Then the history of the world he was in would have ended long ago, and no civilization could have survived.
“If this monster really exists, and its ability is really as you said, then no one in this world can be their opponent.”
Hearing Wu Wei's rebuttal, Master Silas smiled, not angry.
“I know what you are thinking.”
“In fact, I also doubt whether this so-called Harvester civilization really exists.”
“However, data does not lie.”
“Especially the data preserved in ancient devices, it is even more impossible to lie.”
“The records of the so-called Harvester civilization were indeed collected by me from an ancient device.”
“And the relic fragment you brought before does indeed have the same characteristics as the Harvester civilization….”
After placing the fragment into an unknown position, Master Silas looked at the fragment in his hand, obsessively.
“However, I said so much just to remind you, young lord.”
Master Silas glanced at Wu Wei, turned his body, and turned his back to Wu Wei.
“If possible, I suggest you give up that world.”
“And the sooner you give up, the better.”
“Because my reason tells me that you and your territory cannot last too long in front of the Harvester civilization.”
“But out of a desire called greed, I don’t want you to evacuate that world….”
“Because I want to see with my own eyes what the existence called the Flesh Harvester civilization looks like….”
“Ah, may the Machine God covered in blessings be upon us.”
“A civilization that can perfectly fuse flesh and machinery together is truly fascinating!”
After speaking, Master Silas asked his assistant to take Wu Wei away from his laboratory.
But before leaving, Master Silas specifically told Wu Wei.
That is, if Wu Wei can collect the technological creations of the Flesh Harvester civilization, then Silas himself and the End of Magic Remains organization he is in will spend a large price to buy them.
But...
Even if Wu Wei is short of money now, he will not consider this idea.
After all, from Master Silas's mouth, he has already learned in advance the horror of the Flesh Harvester civilization.
For a time, he began to hesitate.
He was thinking about whether this miniature world called the Green Cage was still necessary to continue developing.
After all, the value of this miniature world may be only a few hundred million, a few billion at most.
If the Flesh Harvesters really exist, then these hundreds of millions of resource points don't seem so attractive.
But it was too late.
Because just as Wu Wei was still thinking about this issue, the thread of fate had already bound him to the Flesh Harvester civilization.
And just after walking out of the laboratory door, Wu Wei felt a strange palpitation.
This palpitation was not a physical discomfort, but a feeling similar to a soul's sensation.
The abyss was calling him.
After feeling the call of the abyss, Wu Wei subconsciously used his ability to check everything in his territory.
Sure enough, under Wu Wei's gaze, he discovered the source of the palpitation.
Below that tunnel, the war fortress of the Flesh Harvester civilization had been completely activated!
And he also observed the influence of chaos for the first time as a Lord of the Abyss.
“…”
A strange feeling of anger accompanied by hatred, for some reason, appeared in his heart.
And this angry emotion, like the Flesh Harvesters, originated from an even more ancient era!
