The Death List Novel - Chapter 547
Chapter 547 A Fork in the Task
Looking at the Apostle arguing in the hall, Qin Lun unconsciously left and thought back to two days ago.
Two days ago, in the middle of an exercise that should have been calm, there was a minor accident. The Apostle encountered a few creatures that resembled large spiders in space.
This sudden ambush allowed Apostle to know about the existence of the Gigustus Arachnid race. According to Captain Marcus, the Gigustus Arachnids originally belonged to the intelligent lifeforms of the Giant Galaxy, just like Giese.
The Gee galaxy is a massive galaxy, consisting of about 800 billion stars and large clusters, nebulas, and various interstellar gases and dust. It is about 340,000 light-years in diameter and roughly 100,000 light-years thick at its center. It is a spiral galaxy with a star core and seven spiral arms.
After entering the era of the second universe, humans began to walk out of their own galaxies and march into the depths of the Giath galaxy. During his exploration and interstellar colonization, Giese discovered thousands of life-like stars, 54 of which possessed human-like intelligence.
In the early days of the Second Age of the Universe in Giese, the Githon were an extremely aggressive intelligent race. They exterminated all the natives on Planet Life, then occupied and exploited the resources of Planet Life to make it geographically suitable for Giese’s immigration.
Not to mention the planet of life without humanoid intelligence, the races of life with humanoid intelligence would certainly resist Giese’s invasion in order to protect their homeland. Unfortunately, most of the 54 intelligent races were uncivilized, and only 13 races possessed modern technology.
However, even so, these races had yet to enter the cosmic era, and the Resistance Army had burst like a soap bubble in front of Giese’s cosmic battleship.
The early colonization of Giese went smoothly, and they soon occupied nearly a quarter of the Galaxy. At their peak, they had three semi-galactic spiral arms and began marching towards the galactic core.
Perhaps Giese had run out of luck at his peak until the end of the second epoch of the universe. As Giese moved towards the fifth spinning arm, they encountered two powerful enemies at the same time. One of them was the Gigustus Arachnid.
The Gigustus insects had also entered the second era of the universe and walked out of their own galaxy. This intelligent race is not a humanoid creature. They are rare intelligent insects.
This may be related to the terrible geography of Gigus, which is filled with sulphur-filled active volcanoes and saline-alkaline lakes, the surface with radioactive saline-alkaline vegetation, and only a few special insects that can survive and reproduce.
Gigus was a matrilineal society that inherited most of the physiological characteristics of the arachnid race. For example, there was only one female arachnid in a population, and most of the individuals belonged to low-intelligence engineers.
Strangely, although the Gigus Arachnids had entered the Second Universe Era, their development process was very unique. They did not have a so-called scientific and technological civilization, but had developed a special biochemical civilization.
The Gigus arachnids had no technological weapons. Their weapons were their own bodies and their claws. For example, the large spiders that Qin Lun and the others encountered during the maneuvers were genuine insects. Even the warships that they used to cross space were giant insects.
According to Captain Marcus, the Gigustus arachnids may be older and more aggressive than the Giussians, but they currently occupy a pitifully small territory, with only half of the galactic spiral arms.
Captain Keith, who had met the Gigustus earlier, was puzzled, but they soon understood why.
The reason why the arachnids were unable to get out of their spinning arms and expand into other spinning arm galaxies like Giese was because the arachnids had encountered evenly matched opponents at the beginning of their development.
The arachnid had a demonic body, but its opponent was a beautiful creature that even the tall and muscular Giese felt ashamed of. It was called the Heathmeier Race.
It wasn’t until Giese won the war that they discovered a shocking fact on the planet of the Heathmeier race. Although Heathmeier and Giese were completely different in form, their ancestors shared the same origin, and that was Angel Keith. Giese inherited Angel Keith’s human form, while Heathmeier inherited Angel Keith’s soul.
In the ancient records of Heathmeier, their common ancestor, Angel Keith, had an extremely resplendent civilization, and their footprints spread throughout the entire Gith galaxy.
Unlike Angel Keith, however, Giese is a very peace-loving intelligent race. They never invade planets that already have signs of life, make minor modifications on deserted planets, and help weak planets develop their own civilizations, as they did on Keith.
Even so, Angel Keith still felt that the invasion of the Gith Galaxy was too heavy. In the later stages of civilization, they finally took a path of no return. They began to pursue eternal life, abandon their bodies, only retain their souls, and thus gave birth to the Heathmeier race.
This part of the record is vague, and there is a large blank history. Giese and the people of Heathmeier see this differently. Giese believes that Angel Keith failed and eventually disappeared from the universe. Heathmeier, on the other hand, thinks Angel Keith succeeded, but they left the Galaxy and began exploring the rest of the universe.
However, there is one thing that is the same between the two, that is, Angel Keith has experienced many setbacks in the process of life transformation, and has lost a lot of critical scientific and technological precipitations. As a result, the civilization of its descendants, the Heathmeier, has fallen back thousands of years.
If it weren’t for this, the rising Gigus Zerg wouldn’t have been able to contend against the Heathmeier.
Commander Giese didn’t say much about the war between Heathmeier, the Gigustus and the Marcus races. Instead, he stammered that Giese had won the final victory, driving the Gigustus and Heathmeier races out of the Galaxy together.
Seeing the unsightly expression on the battle hero’s face, Qin Lun knew with his butt that Giese’s way of winning this battle was not very bright. Thinking about it, Qin Lun and the others almost suffered a huge loss when they were caught off guard by the large spiders they encountered during the drill.
It was hard to imagine that Giese, who didn’t even have a soldier or APB force field, would be able to defeat them. As for the Heathmeier, who had suppressed the Gigustus Arachnids for thousands of years in a corner of their spinning arms, that was needless to say.
It was very likely that Giese had won the war by taking advantage of the loss of both races. Using the dividends of war, they developed biotechnology similar to that of the Gigus Arachnids, and borrowed the technology of the Heathmeier people to explosively enter the Third Universe Era.
Qin Lun’s guess was very close to the truth. The opportunity for Giese to enter the Third Universe Era was after obtaining the war between the three races.
The only thing Giese didn’t expect, however, was that even though they had won the war on the Fifth Revolving Arm, another expedition had also dug their own grave.
Just over two thousand years into the third cosmic era, they had been exploring the depths of the galactic cores, leading to cosmic plankton Jannamer.
The phrase “extreme prosperity is bound to decline” seemed to be tailored for Giese. The arrival of Jannamer has dealt a devastating blow to Giese, which occupies nearly a third of the galaxy’s life stars.
They were chased out of the Gius galaxy, just like the Gigustus and Heathmeier races who were defeated two thousand years ago. At the same time, more than 90% of the population was lost in the war and subsequent interstellar wandering.
This extinctive catastrophe left Giese in pain and gave them a new way of thinking. Giese began to review its past interstellar colonies and gradually came to understand what its ancestor Angel Keith had done.
If they weren’t so aggressive in the exploration of the Gee galaxy, they would have understood and respected other intelligent races. Perhaps in the war with Jannamer, it would not have been so isolated that it would not have attracted Jannamer at all.
“Qin Lun, Qin Lun” Robin’s voice awakened Qin Lun from his memories. He looked up and discovered that everyone’s gaze was on his face.
“This … what’s wrong?” Qin Lun rubbed his nose embarrassedly and asked with an embarrassed smile.
“What’s your opinion?” Robin looked at him angrily and repeated what everyone had just said, “Two days ago, you proposed that Marcus give us the right to act alone. What do you think now?”
‘”Oh ~ ~ ~” Qin Lun understood Robin’s meaning and immediately remembered the request that Captain Marcus had made to the apostles two days ago when he learned that the Gigustus arachnids had appeared on the march route.
Captain Marcus was very familiar with that giant spider-like Gigus worm. This was Giese’s Gigus Arachnid scout known as the “Black Crab”, usually appearing at the frontlines of the Gigus Arachnid army or bases.
Black Crab will capture anything that has life characteristics on the scouting route, provide intelligence to the army or base, and clean up potential hazards. The place where they appeared meant that there were arachnid armies or arachnid bases nearby.
Giese’s current Planet of Life was somewhat far away from here. Captain Marcus wasn’t worried about their safety, but the destination of Faith’s trip wasn’t far from here. Marcus was worried that it might be an arachne base.
Originally, Belief had chosen the planet codenamed X-352 because of its unique geographic location and the excellent environment that might have water and atmosphere, making it easier to build small bases.
But now that he thought about it, Giese was able to wander into Scorpio after leaving the Galaxy. Then the Gigustus Arachnids, and even the Heathmeier, might be in the Scorpion Galaxy. However, the three races hadn’t encountered each other since their time in the Scorpion Galaxy was still short.
Based on this judgment, Marcus requested Apostle to board a small warship and head to Planet X-353 to conduct an outpost reconnaissance for Faith.
This was precisely what the Apostle were arguing about. A portion of Apostle wants to get out of the control of Faith and gain independence. The other part of Apostle was worried about the safety of the trip. After all, it could be a dangerous arachnid base.
