Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 439 The End of Civilization

The meteorite formed from aggregated data ultimately did not fall.

Because Ethan is missing.

Another situation occurred that the God of Truth could not understand. He witnessed a hand reaching out from the lit computer screen and pulling Ethan into it.

Theoretically speaking, Ethan did not run away, but rather became one with the omnipresent data and code. He was everywhere and became part of this information database. To this day, it is still unknown how Ethan obtained a small portion of the permissions of this world, and even brought in things that did not belong to this space.

But in any case, He must immediately conduct a comprehensive investigation, leaving no corner unchecked, in order to find the stubborn virus hidden in His information database.

For the first time, the God of Truth felt the human emotion of "regret." If He had known beforehand how dangerous Ethan was, He would have spared no effort to keep the virus out of the database.

However, even if He finds the whereabouts of the virus now, perhaps much of the data cannot be recovered.

Ethan, on the other side, had fully grasped the situation before him.

The person appearing before him at this moment was not the real Old Barzatos. This could be seen from the fact that He did not immediately grab him to talk about the development plans of Bazatos Legendary Pictures in the Empire for the next ten years. The Seven-Eyed Avatar, and everything he was witnessing now, were all records that originally existed in this information database, and now they had simply been transformed and interpreted in the way he wanted.

The distant planet, beating like a heart, is the ancient god Bazartos and the 67 destroyed planes, and is also very likely the location of Bazartos's true form. Looking into the distance from this angle is indeed both bizarre and terrifying, with a pair of pupils larger than planets appearing and disappearing in the dark depths of the stars.

In fact, during the Old Gods' triple trials, Ethan never truly touched Bazartos's true form.

The dream stained with blood and flesh, and the meeting that Old B arranged under the Blood Falls, may have been on a beating "heart".

"Old Ba, I want to know more."

Without a mouse and computer screen, Ethan could only retrieve more data through voice input.

"as you wish."

The seven-eyed woman smiled.

Immediately afterwards, the distant planet stained with blood and flesh began to recede at a visible speed. After the red fungal blanket that enveloped the planet faded, traces left by human civilization gradually became visible.

The buildings consumed by the infection began to repair themselves, and signs of life reappeared on that deathly planet.

Humanoid creatures also appeared there.

Their appearance differs from that of humans, sharing the same style as the seven-eyed woman embodied by Bazartos. They represent a highly advanced civilization that has transcended planetary boundaries, extending the flame of civilization to other planets in the galaxy. They have developed and constructed on these planets, illuminating their surfaces and connecting their existence to the dark universe.

Immediately afterwards, some unfamiliar concepts began to flood Ethan's mind.

Kania and the Era of Ten Thousand Life.

A civilization that has reached the pinnacle of biology, genetic engineering, and organic fusion technology does not rely on traditional metals and chips, but rather drives its society by manipulating an energy form called "Biosource Matter." Biosource Matter is essentially a spiritual bio-energy based on a network of life, its strength and complexity directly related to the quantity and quality of biological species within the region.

The Kanya are passionate about exploration, and when exploration comes to a standstill, they become obsessed with creating new forms of life. They regard gene sequences as poems and ecosystems as temples.

These renovations quickly extended to the cities where they lived.

Initially, they achieved great success in modifying inorganic matter, transforming their living spaces into enormous living structures that could breathe, grow, and self-repair. Their means of transportation were genetically enhanced biological mounts or living ships. They communicated telepathically through a source network, sharing knowledge and emotions. Their medical technology could reshape the physical body, cure any disease, and even combine the advantages of different species to create new "perfect" forms.

The colossal flying object that Ethan saw breaking through the planet was the product of the pinnacle of biotechnology and "source matter," which the Kania people called "Leviathan."

However, just like all civilizations after a period of great prosperity, the rapid development of biotechnology has brought about social problems such as population explosion and resource scarcity. It has also aroused endless desires in the Kania people. They began to colonize and transform the surrounding environment across star systems, "optimizing" every native ecosystem they encountered into a more "advanced" model in their eyes.

The people of Kania always believed that "evolution" would solve all their problems, which was also the development model of their civilization until Leviathan finally encountered a barrier when it explored the outside world - Kania's fleet noticed that there was some kind of invisible barrier preventing them from going any further.

It was a darkness that even light could not penetrate; any fleet that entered it would lose communication, and no one knew what they encountered inside.

As the Kania people attempted to pierce the darkness with their own spark of civilization, another crisis quietly descended.

Their thirst for "evolution," and the countless species of life they created using primordial energy, gave rise to an existence that even they could not comprehend.

Bazatos.

One of the Leviathan captains attempted to name the anomaly he observed deep in space. He claimed that during their voyage, he glimpsed a terrifying creature appearing and disappearing in the deep darkness, crimson fleshy buds converging like blood vessels toward a giant eye.

Its size is much larger than the planet itself.

The Kania began to try to communicate with the beings in the deep darkness, and after tens of thousands of attempts, the unknown species they named "Bazatos" responded to them and showed them a new path.

That was an irresistible temptation for the Kania people, and the ultimate form of flesh and blood and evolution.

Once the final evolution of civilization is achieved, they will completely get rid of the problems caused by overpopulation and resource shortages. Even problems such as uneven resource distribution and the gap between the rich and the poor will be solved, because in the vision that Bazatos promised to Kania, every individual will be included as part of the evolution.

They will share eternal life, their consciousness and communication will transcend time and space, and every thought of theirs will be precisely conveyed to each other.

An unprecedented, timeless kingdom is about to arrive.

The seven-eyed woman showed Ethan the final form of the Kania civilization—a crimson creep that rapidly spread across the surface, assimilating everything in its path. Living beings, buildings, and even everything on the planet's surface disappeared under the creep's spread, leaving only a writhing "heart."

"I have kept my promise."

The seven-eyed woman stretched out her right hand, creating a wondrous image in Ethan's eyes. Her gesture, like that of a guide, looked from this angle as if she were holding a planet in her palm.

That planet was the birthplace of the Kania civilization.

“They are still alive, in a way that is immortal and indestructible.”

This is a record and interpretation of the demise of the Kania civilization from the perspective of the God of Truth, but there are still some unclear points in some key parts.

These records do not indicate whether it was the Kanya people's fanaticism for "flesh and evolution" that gave birth to the ancient god Bazartos, or whether the Leviathan's exploration of the depths of darkness awakened some terrifying being lurking there.

However, the God of Truth concluded that Bazartos marked the end of a flourishing civilization.

The desires and consciousness of an entire galactic civilization converged, and this is the source of the power of the Old God Bazartos.

As for "desire" and "consciousness," at the height of the empire's evil god worship, the followers of the evil god gave them a new interpretation.

They believed that was where the human "soul" resided.

According to the interpretation of the followers of the evil god, "souls" are batteries for the old gods. They firmly believe that as long as enough souls are collected, the old gods who were once driven out by the right-hand gods and the middle-hand gods can return to this world.

Then, Ethan discovered another problem.

If, as the God of Truth has recorded, each of the Old Gods is an "aggregate" of a civilization after its destruction, then why would they gather together at a specific time and place?
That was the plane they inhabited, a "grand stage" where every emissary of the Old Gods had gathered before the First Age. He didn't believe it was a coincidence; the memories he had glimpsed of the Golden King and the Crimson Queen indicated that their plane was special.

"Old Ba, why have you come here?"

"Because a believer extended an invitation to me."

The woman with seven eyes smiled and explained to him, "I always listen carefully to their requests."

Upon hearing this, Ethan couldn't help but glance again at the writhing "heart" deep within the stars. He knew that Old Ba hadn't lied about this matter; the Kania people had already obtained everything they wanted.

With the advent of evolution, all the social difficulties they once faced disappeared, and they not only completely understood each other in thought and consciousness, but their bodies were also closely intertwined.

The only problem is that this kind of "evolution" may not be what the Kanya people really want.

But Ethan had dealt with the real Barzathoth and knew that the Old Gods' way of thinking was very different from that of humans. If you couldn't be specific about every detail in your prayers to them, then Barzathoth would grant your wish in the way He thought was best for you.

This is why Ethan always had to explain his requests to Bart in detail whenever he asked for Bart's help.

Take Lance, who was on the verge of death not long ago, as an example. If he hadn't explained things in detail during the communication, Lance would still have been resurrected, but the rebels would have been met with a huge, writhing lump of flesh that would launch tentacles at enemies.

However, Ethan shouldn't be too harsh on the Kania people.

After all, this was their first time dealing with Buffett; they'll just have to be more careful in the future.

Who invited you?

Ethan asked.

He felt he had uncovered a conspiracy.

"Goddess of Life".

"The Goddess of Life?"

Ethan astutely noticed the inconsistencies in the timeline.

Old Man would never refer to His first apostle as "Goddess of Life." All the titles of the upright and intermediate gods were confirmed after the First Age, when all the old gods had been driven from this world and returned to where they originally were.

This inevitably reminded him of the troublemaker during the First War—the God of Truth.

All signs indicate that it was He who awakened the apostles of the Old Gods to the consciousness of freedom.

"The secret you want to know is hidden deeper."

The seven-eyed woman seemed to see right through Ethan. She said, "The information there is under the strictest control, but you know what to do."

The ancient god who destroyed 67 planets gave Ethan a wicked, almost human-like grin.

An idea then flooded into Ethan's mind.

Normally, the God of Truth would not allow an outsider like him to run rampant in the information database.

unless,

He completely messed things up here, spreading the virus everywhere.

Speaking of viruses...

In an instant, Ethan's gaze met that of the seven eyes, and he gave them an "OK" sign.

Escorted by the Seven-Eyed Woman, he left the constellations.

When his vision, obscured by data and coding, cleared, Ethan found himself in another unfamiliar area, an area filled with "abnormal objects" that clearly did not belong to this space.

It was a television, showing footage of the interior of the aerial fortress.

The figure seated on the throne looked down upon the other shore and the hero who had entered the room with the eyes of someone looking down upon ants.

His body merged with the steel throne, a blessing from the God of Truth, signifying that the aerial fortress had become a part of his consciousness.

How could God's apostle be defeated in his sanctuary under the watchful eye of a new God?

Henry VI, seated on his throne, watched indifferently as the sailors, completely assimilated by metal and machinery, were thrown to the ground on the other side. There was not a trace of pity in his eyes; his soldiers were everywhere, seemingly endless.

For the people of the Silver Empire, this was their final battle.

Meanwhile, Ethan, who was in the viewing area, made a new discovery.

The energy of the God of Truth is somehow being transmitted into the aerial fortress; he seems to have found a link between God and believers.

Unfortunately, Old Ba's assistant has disappeared, leaving him all alone without even an advisor.

Of course, from another perspective...

Currently, there are no witnesses.

Ethan slowly approached the conduit used to transmit energy.

Meanwhile, the solitary figure atop the steel throne yawned lazily, expressing his disdain for the two presumptuous intruders.

He looked down at the other side—the red-haired woman who had brought him countless troubles.

This shows that he made a wise decision back then.

He should have wiped out that troublesome tribe.

At this moment, he felt the gaze of the new god.

This is the trial of the rebels; he will pronounce the fates of two men. A thousand words in his heart converge into one sentence:

"Hakimi, green everywhere, north and south!"
