Chapter 157: The Benevolent Host
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
There was a short pause in the movements of the Observer, but before the Milky Way civilizations could catch their breath, a discovery from all over the galaxy quickly caused a stir.
The strange phenomenon of the resurrection of the dead began to appear in many galaxies. The planets that were identified as Dead Planets gradually showed signs of civilization activity, and the corpses of lifeforms floating in space gradually softened from their stiffness.
A large number of corpses that had been resurrected began to carry out civilized activities in an organized manner. The smell of decay wrapped around these corpses, but it did not affect their efficiency at all.
From the observation point of view, these corpse civilizations seemed to have the characteristics of all intelligent lifeforms, except for corpses.
At first, the civilizations of the Milky Way were still puzzled by this scene, but it didn’t take long for them to realize that a crisis was coming.
A native educator of the Pyro Alliance left the school in a hurry and returned to the mother planet.
He was the leader of the Pyro Alliance, but he would personally go to the native civilizations to teach when he was free.
Even though there were many official duties within his scope of responsibility, with the efficient help of artificial intelligence, he could have a lot of time to do his own things.
However, due to the special circumstances today, he had to hurry back to his mother planet to participate in an emergency meeting.
“Let’s not talk too much. If there’s anything to say, hurry up.” The leader of the Pyro Alliance came to his seat and started the meeting. Soon, someone suggested, “Those corpse civilizations are very special. 1 find it difficult to understand how such life forms exist. It seems to be a civilization that can only exist by relying on corpses.”
“All attempts to communicate with them have failed. These corpse civilizations are attacking everything around them and have formed a considerable force in the galaxy.”
“The most difficult thing to deal with is that these corpse civilizations control the nests of many space lifeforms. Now, in addition to facing the dead fleets, we also have to face the undead army. What’s the reaction of the Galaxy Community?”
The discussion was going on quickly. All the information was quickly sorted out. Soon, someone said, “These corpse civilizations appeared too quickly. They seemed to have been lurking in various parts of the Milky Way for a long time. They woke up after a predetermined time and began to invade the Milky Way without any warning.”
“It can’t be said that there were no signs, someone said. “At the very least, the Observer is moving very frequently, isn’t it?”
The meeting room fell into a brief silence. It was the leader of the Pyro Alliance who asked with keen eyes, “What was the situation of the native civilization that was destroyed by the planetary bomb suspected to be the Observer?”
“Let me see…The native civilization memorial hall that we built there has been destroyed! The camera captured the invaders before it was destroyed… It’s those natives that we buried in space!”
This result caused everyone present to look at the background board of the conference room in unison. It was a flag with a map of the Observer galaxy printed on it.
Just as someone was about to speak, they suddenly received an urgent message from the diplomatic agency.
“The Observer has sent an announcement to the entire galaxy! Something is wrong!”
Along with the communication was a translated Milky Way announcement:
[ Hello, young civilizations. ]
[ We are the Observer, old men who have witnessed the rise and fall of the galaxy over countless years. ]
[ We have seen through many things and witnessed what the truth is. ]
[ Don’t be afraid of these death-seeking people who want to destroy the Milky Way. We will assume the responsibility of guardians in this crisis. ]
“Now, we will be the Benevolent Host, providing shelter for all suffering civilizations.”
[ Only by joining forces… Only then can we overcome the common threat ]
The message was short, but the content was rich.
The Observer, or rather, the Benevolent Host, sent a notice of asylum to the entire galaxy and joined the Galaxy Community, requesting the establishment of the Milky Way Defense Alliance as the leader of the alliance.
“These corpse civilizations can even make the Observer take such a stance, willing to lower their status to unite the entire Milky Way?” Some people in the Pyro Alliance were shocked.
“Doesn’t that mean that these corpse civilizations at least have the ability to resist the lost empire? Otherwise, why would the Observer react?” The other person looked at the corpse civilization that was expanding faster and faster on the star map in disbelief.
Judging from the reaction of the lost empire, this crisis seemed to be unprecedentedly powerful. It had to be known that even the former Administrator and the Silent had never reacted like the Observer.
“Should we call them the Benevolent Host now? Could it be that this time… Do we need them to take in the tinder?”
Some people were pessimistic about this Milky Way Crisis and seemed to have forgotten something.
All the suspicions about the Observer had vanished with the revival of the Benevolent Host. Now, most people subconsciously felt guilty for not trusting the Observer.
However, the leader of the Pyro Alliance was silent for a moment. He then looked at the crowd and said, “What is the Administrator’s reaction?”
“The leader’s words stunned everyone. Soon after, someone replied, “As usual, there is no reaction from the Administrator.”
“1 understand.” The leader of the Pyro Alliance nodded and made arrangements.
“Do not act rashly. Pay more attention to the movements of the Benevolent Host, especially their proposals in the Galaxy Community.”
“In addition… Don’t get close to them!”
The emergency meeting of the Pyro Alliance was decided by the leader. Although the people did not understand, the matter was carried out faithfully with the leader’s prestige.
However, the other civilizations in the Milky Way had similar reactions.
“Is the lost empire making a move this time? Aren’t we a little too lucky? Every time we encounter a crisis, we just happen to be on the radio of the lost empire…”
“Who is it this time? The Administrator? The Mediator? The Voyager? Or… The Observer?”
“Old thing, you’re outdated. They’re no longer called the Observer now, but Benevolent Host! A name of this length is really handsome…”
“Whoa, it seems different this time. Even though the crisis doesn’t seem simple, since the lost empire has joined us, we should be able to survive this time, right?”
Of course, Li Wenyuan could not have missed the chaotic communications in the Milky Way, not to mention that he had also received a notice of protection from the Benevolent Host.
“Corpse civilization? 1 don’t think I’ve ever seen something like this before… It can’t be something humans did again, right?”
He had already subconsciously linked all the abnormalities in the Milky Way to humans, but it was just a thought. The specific situation still needed to be analyzed.
“However… Benevolent Host? Do you still need to change your name to deal with a crisis?”
While he was still thinking, he received a message from Gray Wind, “Have you heard? An old thing had awakened! He even gave himself a proper new name! Tell me, if it were me, what should 1 call you at this time?”
He could still hear all kinds of noises in Gray Wind’s communicator, as if there was a war going on over there. Li Wenyuan could filter out these noises, but now it seemed that she wanted him to hear it too.
“Are you thinking about this? Why don’t you hurry up and design your vassal civilization?”
“Sigh… There was a small accident. I’m dealing with this matter now, but don’t worry, it’ll be settled soon.”
The communication was cut off for a while, and then Gray Wind picked up the call again, “But this time… Well… Crisis? Can this be considered a crisis?
Alright, this crisis is a little weak, but there seem to be quite a lot of secrets. If I have the time, 1 really want to experience it myself!
“Maybe next time, if there was a next time. Although I think it’s probably related to humans, it’s still good to see the progress of the Milky Way civilization.”
After talking to Gray Wind about some trivial matters, the communication returned to silence.
Li Wenyuan, on the other hand, turned his eyes to the lost empire that was extremely active in the Galaxy Community.
“Is it now called the Benevolent Host? The previous lost empires had many
stories.. What will you have this time?”
