Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 350: Rule Range

Although the Leviathan’s biological battleship was huge, it was nothing compared to the debris. In order to obtain sufficient resources, the Leviathan’s biological battleship kept devouring the badly-damaged battleships.

As the Leviathan continued devouring the ruins, they became more curious about the origins of the ruins.

What exactly had happened 10,000 years ago? Had humans gone extinct as a result?

The snake egg asked, “Did the fleets of the three species fight here? I saw battleships of all three species. In terms of technology, the other races seem to have the lowest technology level compared to human battleships. That’s why most of the battleships in this area are human battleships.”

Chen Xuanyue frowned as if she did not agree with the snake egg’s opinion. However, she still did not speak. The Mythical creature put pressure on her, rendering her unable to retort.

Wei Huo observed the ruins of the battleship carefully. Moments later, he said, “That’s not the case. The three different battleships did not arrive in this star system at the same time. The human battleship arrived a few years earlier than the Zerg battleship and thousands of years earlier than the Skyfall Race’s battleship. The Zergs’ combat style is different from that of other races. The Zergs will devour the enemy after defeating them. Based on the current situation, if the human battleship and the Zergs had fought, the human battleship would definitely have not won. Then, these ruins would definitely not have existed.”

The Leviathan continued devouring the materials around it. Many useless battleship materials were broken down, but many other things were left behind, such as photo albums, phones, tables, chairs, and beds.

As they approached the battlefield, they gradually discovered some corpses. There were corpses of humans, Zergs, and members of the Skyfall Race.

The snake egg asked Chen Xuanyue, “What do you think?”

Chen Xuanyue was stunned. Is this the place for me to speak? However, a moment later, she realized that the two Mythical creatures did not look down on her. Over the past three months, they had been addressing Chen Xuanyue as their equal. She was the one who had not thought things through and had restrained herself.

That was why Chen Xuanyue relaxed and said, “I think the three fleets were attacked by another civilization in this star system. That civilization had been lying in ambush in this star system for a long time. Once another civilization came from the Star Path, they attacked!”

The snake egg said, “I understand. That’s common. The four terrifying civilizations have to be killed in the cradle. It’s no wonder they didn’t take away this many useful materials. They didn’t like them.”

Wei Huo said, “That’s not all. I remember that humans boarded many transport ships when they migrated. However, most of the ruins are battleship fragments. There are very few human transport ship ruins here. That civilization must have plundered many transport ships!”

The snake egg and Chen Xuanyue were confused. Wei Huo explained, “It seems like human plundering is normal in this universe. Perhaps the lonely four terrifying civilizations have become targets of human plunder.”

There were more and more human corpses in a hole in the Leviathan. They had been sleeping there for over 10,000 years, but they could not be revived like Wei Huo.

Due to the fact that this place was in ruins and many living creatures had died, a very dense aura of death was gathered here. Wei Huo absorbed the aura of death along the way. As he absorbed it, he said, “Death is everywhere in the universe!”

The snake egg started using its Devouring Rule to absorb the wandering spiritual energy around it. Too many living creatures had died there, so there was a lot of wandering spiritual energy. The spiritual energy was absorbed by it, allowing it to grow faster.

The aura of death and mental strength formed two vortices. At the center of the vortices were Wei Huo and the snake egg. At that moment, they finally displayed their Mythical characteristics. They were the only ones who could absorb the aura of death and mental strength this way.

However, at that moment, a few weak lights appeared at the edge of the galaxy. Soon, the weak lights turned into a dazzling white light. It turned out that this was the light produced by a fleet undergoing a transition. Because the transition required folding space, the fleet had brought the light of another galaxy here.

However, the light soon disappeared and was replaced by a red-and-black fleet. The biggest warship was about the size of a provincial city. It could be called a provincial warship. The other warships were smaller, but the weapons on the warships were still terrifying.

These weapons were beyond the scope of technology that Wei Huo and the others understood. They did not look like laser weapons or electromagnetic weapons. There was a faint energy shield around the battleships, but its level was beyond their understanding.

Wei Huo looked at the fleet and said, “Is this the fleet?”

The snake egg said, “Why don’t we capture their people and ask them?”

Wei Huo smiled. “That makes sense.”

The Leviathan’s battleship stopped devouring and turned around before moving toward the fleet. There were not many ships. Only about 30 or so. However, they seemed very arrogant as they charged toward the two Mythical creatures.

The arrogant opponents did not attack immediately. It seemed like they planned to capture the Leviathan Wei Huo and the others were riding.

The snake egg shook its head. “They’re too arrogant. If we get closer, they will enter our Rule’s range.”

Chen Xuanyue was stunned. Rule’s range? She did not feel anything.

Wei Huo explained, “To Mythical creatures, the area within the range of their mental strength is the range our Rules can operate within. Once they enter that area, their life and death will be in our hands. No shield or armor can protect them unless their battleships have been built with the corpses of Mythical creatures.”

The snake egg said, “Even so, this could only buy them time. No matter how strong a dead Mythical corpse is, it can’t be the match of a living Mythical creature.”

While they were talking, the fleet suddenly accelerated and rushed toward them. Their formation started spreading out as if they were surrounding them.

At that moment, the snake egg asked, “Who’s doing it?”

Wei Huo said, “I have the Death Rule.”

The snake egg was troubled. “I have the Devouring Rule.”

The two of them looked at each other and then at Chen Xuanyue. Chen Xuanyue was stunned. Do you want me to attack?

The two of them were really strong. Once they used their Rules, the enemies would die instantly. Then, there would be no way to capture them alive to ask them questions. That was why only Chen Xuanyue could attack. However, Chen Xuanyue could not fly freely in a vacuum.

Wei Huo said, “It’s alright. I’ll lend you the Phantom Staff. I’ll charge it. You’ll have three chances to turn phantoms into reality.”

The snake egg said, “I’ll give you a shield enhanced by the Devouring Rule so that you can move freely in the vacuum.”

Chen Xuanyue nodded silently. This was a rare opportunity to experience this. She did not want to miss it.
