"’Merciful Decision’ has been released, all detectable life forms have been hit and controlled, but the automatic alert system has also been triggered, and the communication system is automatically sending jump information," Iwen reported.
Shen Shi looked at the base in front of him that seemed unchanged, watching the ships still in voyage, completely unable to imagine that this base had already been completely controlled by him.
But that’s not what’s to be done right now.
"Jump to that node right away!"
Since the intelligence can’t be sealed off, this is the only way, but, the base at that previous node, the Daike named "Didike", absolutely cannot be let go.
Iwen started the jump again.
The next moment, Shen Shi had already returned to that previous base.
And at first glance, he saw three triangular devices minus the ring, now quickly retracting inward.
Such quick reactions!
Shen Shi has now seen the level possessed by a C-level Civilization, even though it is just a communication jump, the speed of the jump can actually match the Iwen.
And such decisive reactions.
It’s just a pity that he can’t let this guy escape.
At this moment, the Daike Base in front of him was already filled with large swathes of alarms.
The Daike named "Didike", whom Shen Shi was closely watching, as the commander of this base, was quickly conveying orders.
"Contract the base, activate the jump engine to maximum power, officials above level 7 follow me into the warship, prepare for immediate evacuation, also, again send jump communications to the superior base, inquire about the specific situation, maintain close contact with other reachable bases..."
Like the rest of the adult Daike People, Didike also went through the arduous "coming of age ceremony", obtained body modifications, and earned the qualification to enter outer space, rather than simply being able to live in designated areas for reproduction.
His achievements are even quite outstanding.
If he hadn’t made a mistake, he would never have been assigned to such a corner, managing such a desolate dead silence base for five hundred years.
But he never thought something would happen in such a remote area where there are no strong civilizations.
The superior base was invaded!
A high-specification Primordial Energy attack!
Is this something a passing higher civilization did casually?
Or is there another C-level Civilization preparing to occupy this Star Domain?
Didike knows nothing about this, he only knows that no matter what it is, the situation is extremely critical!
Hopefully, no enemy will take a fancy to his little node base.
But just as this hope was beginning to surface, a suddenly popped-up gigantic alarm sound appeared in front of Didike.
An ultra-high intensity Primordial Energy reaction!
Just looking at that energy level was enough to make Didike lose any thought of resistance.
"As expected... Coming for our civilization, unwilling to spare any base?"
Catastrophe is imminent, and helpless.
Didike relied on Primordial Energy to control his fear.
So looking at some subordinates in chaos, he quickly accepted this reality instead.
In front of weaker civilizations, even glorious and powerful civilizations will face opponents of the same level, or even stronger.
"Enough!" he roared at everyone in the consciousness link, "Don’t forget, you are all warriors of the great Daike Civilization, even if sacrificed, you should be fearless, the enemy can destroy our bodies, but cannot destroy our courage! Holy Land Congliffe will welcome our souls!"
Such words obviously had an effect.
Everyone quieted down.
At this time, the Daike People had entered C-level for less than a thousand years, officially in a period of rapid development, full of youthful spirit, indeed with a kind of integration within the culture, and within everyone’s spirit.
Seeing these subordinates all ready to die heroically, Didike was very gratified.
Though he couldn’t escape, if such a scene could be transmitted back, then his name could surely be carved in the ancient Holy Land Congliffe.
Just as Didike’s heart was at peace, intently staring at detectors, trying to locate the enemy’s position, number, and source of attack, the base suddenly received information from other nearby node bases.
"HI33 base has successfully jumped."
"Great." Didike’s eyes lit up, "One escaped!"
It seems the enemy is not invincible!
He couldn’t escape, but there were other fellow beings who escaped.
"WE43 base has successfully jumped."
Many Daike People below also spread emotions of relief.
"WF23 base has successfully jumped."
"FI89 base has successfully jumped."
"ER36 base has successfully jumped."
One after another, news of successful jump escapes began flooding in.
Didike and the Daike People in front of him gradually changed from relief, to surprise, then to a certain uncontrolled envy and puzzlement.
He even subconsciously glanced again at that powerful Primordial Energy level.
This scale can make people lose any thoughts of resistance, even if he forcefully activates a jump now, this attack would still fall first, then easily control everything of everyone.
Why did so many other node bases successfully escape?
This place is actually the only node base besides the superior base, being attacked?
When the last node base successfully jumped, Didike could no longer control his emotions!
It’s really the only one! And calm, clearly a predator’s mocking of prey!
"Give me—" he shouted loudly and crazily, but, the consciousness had not even fully transmitted, endless emotion of mercy engulfed him, when a certain emotion reaches maximum without reason, it brings more pain.
Especially, just a second ago he was still in anger and unwillingness.
The next second, he revealed a dull and stiff smile.
And at this moment, Shen Shi was just calmly looking at the base in front, asking aloud, "Controlled?"
"Correct, a total of sixteen thousand individuals, all controlled."
Such a large Daike Base, naturally, cannot be maintained by a few people, just the numerous space single-soldier fighters require a large number of soldiers to control.
"How long can the control last?" Shen Shi asked again.
"Theoretically close to infinite, if not released, all intelligent life forms inside will remain in this state until death," Iwen replied.
Shen Shi finally truly witnessed the horror of the Primordial Energy Weapon.
The base in front, apart from those Primordial Energy batteries, has not suffered any damage, but all living forces inside have permanently lost themselves.
Even including those smart AIs.
It won’t take long before this becomes a "relic" in this vast starry sky, silently speaking to later generations about the traces of a powerful civilization.
Of course, this scene will not happen.
Because this will become a trophy for Human Civilization.
The Primordial Energy Weapon is not only efficient, powerful, but can also maximize gains, even the more than thirty thousand intelligent lives inside can be made into Primordial Energy batteries.
No wonder the development of Primordial Energy Technology is so important.
"Check the other nodes first, then return to that previous military base." Shen Shi said to Iwen.
The result was unsurprising, all other nodes were already empty, as Shen Shi had realized the Daike’s rapid response, he knew, he only had time to handle one.
And for this node base, out of a sense of revenge, he indeed gave the Daike People a longer-lasting fear.
Of course, there’s anger too.
For the Daike, who hold a rich hunter culture, the best humiliation is to treat them as prey.
