Chapter 466 The Kind Jormungandr
Izanami completely ignored Brutus, immersing herself in her own thoughts and wildly venting the emotions she had suppressed for nearly a hundred million years.

"Damn it, damn it all! I sensed a powerful force on Earth, an invisible force, like a divine destiny!"

"I found dinosaurs and wanted to breed new dominant species, but then a global tsunami, wildfires, and impact winter hit. This lineage went extinct."

"I found another small mammal, but their brains are smaller than a peanut, and their lifespans are short, so they have absolutely no chance of developing into dominant species."

Izanami pounded the ground, clearly frustrated: "What's even more frustrating is that small mammals like turtles, crocodiles, and lizards are thriving, while my offspring have gone extinct. I refuse to accept this!"

"That era was truly an era of vibrant life. The extinction of the dinosaurs left huge ecological niches vacant across the entire planet. The survivors began to evolve rapidly to fill these gaps. This was also my best opportunity, and I tried countless times to reproduce, merge, and evolve."

"But it all failed, it all failed!"

"This is impossible, it shouldn't happen. I can't remember how many times I failed, but I had a vague feeling that this planet might be alive and that it was rejecting me."

Izanami's eyes glazed over again, as if lost in a hazy gray mist: "Brutus, do you understand what I mean? I'm saying this planet is alive, a different kind of life. It's not like the Spike Star civilization, disguised as plants. Its core is still a core, covered in rock; it's a real star, a celestial body in the traditional sense!"

Brutus was stunned.

He had seen countless interstellar civilizations, but he had never seen a planet come to life. Whether from an experiential or theoretical perspective, this was impossible.

The birth of celestial bodies in the universe involves various collisions and extremely harsh conditions. Under such circumstances, how could life possibly be born?

Brutus carefully observed Izanami's expression but found no evidence that she was lying.

Could it be that what Izanami said was true?
But that's absurd!

Brutus preferred to believe that a highly advanced ancient civilization existed on Earth.

"And then? Why weren't you eaten, but instead left Earth?"

Izanami fell into a long silence.

Just as Brutus's patience was about to run out, she slowly spoke: "Because I have finally found the bug in Earth."

“As I’ve said before, I’ve always felt that there’s an invisible giant hand on Earth that suppresses all my attempts and struggles. I’m like a tiny ant on that giant hand, completely at its mercy.”

Izanami's smile vanished, her eyes turning as cold as a venomous snake in the night: "These cannot defeat me. Whatever cannot kill me will only make me stronger. I kept trying, from marine life to terrestrial insects, from flowers and trees to mountains and rivers, until, by chance, I found the ancestors of humankind."

"Hehe. We all know that biological evolution is never linear, but rather phylogenetic. Some branches eventually become extinct, while others eventually become the dominant species on a planet."

"In the end, a small group of me successfully joined the human race on Earth."

Izanami suddenly became agitated, and two unhealthy flushes appeared on her face.

"It wasn't until that moment that I understood what it meant to be the chosen one! The whole planet doted on him, and he would get everything they wanted."

"Aaaaaah!" Izanami screamed, clutching her head. "Why do I always get hit with a heavy blow when I'm at my most confident?! I thought I could use the body of a human from Earth to completely control Earth, to control the entire solar system!" "But on that day, I saw the most terrifying scene of my life. It was a shadow, no, a small part of a shadow! When it silently swept across the solar system, time, space, the laws of physics—everything froze."

"That was an incredibly powerful deterrent from a higher dimension! The combined power of the entire Star Alliance could not match it."

"Before it, time, space, and the universe are like pieces of paper that can be folded at will. I couldn't muster any thought of resistance. I could only bow my head and prostrate myself on the planet, waiting for its judgment."

"He is so terrifying, more terrifying than any black hole I have ever seen! A low-level Domain Lord of the Divine Kingdom is nothing in front of him!"

"I don't know how many years have passed, or perhaps it was just a moment. During this time, I was thrown into a spacetime rift and couldn't perceive the passage of time. When I regained consciousness, I was already near the core of the Star Alliance."

Brutus immediately seized on the loophole in Izanami's words: "That's impossible! Converted to Earth's time, you've been a member of the Covenant for over 5 million years. But as far as we know, humanity on Earth has only existed for a minimum of 700 million years. Our universe is constantly expanding outwards, and time is also expanding. Where did the 4 million years you reversed go?"

“Yes, where did my suddenly extra 4 million years come from? I’m not lying. So, who’s the problem?” Izanami met Brutus’s gaze without flinching.

Brutus was moved by the seriousness and obsession in Izanami's eyes.

Izanami did not lie.

But that's even more terrifying. The terrifying being she spoke of could easily manipulate timelines spanning over 4 million years.

The Covenant command fleet, not far from them, was also in a state of utter disarray, like a deaf, blind, and lame man.

Gray pushed Qiu Xiaomei in front of the 270-degree display screen and whispered, "We're finally about to unveil the mysteries of Earth. Are you curious? And where did Earth's humans come from? What secrets are they hiding?"

Gray knew something was wrong with him; his curiosity about Blue Star had exceeded the limits of rationality for a cosmic being.

As the commander of the Covenant Expeditionary Force, he should be concerned about the difficulties the mission is facing, and he should take more proactive measures.

But none of that happened to him. He felt no fear, no regret, only a tremor of anticipation at the prospect of uncovering the truth.

Only ten thousand miles away from the Covenant warship, Zichen and Jormungandr looked at each other in bewilderment.

Just now, the Covenant fleet disappeared completely, like a drop of ink merging into ink.

This disappearance is a disappearance on multiple levels; it is invisible, unsearchable, undetectable, and unreachable. There is no trace of them even on the particles responsible for transmitting information about the shattered universe, as if the starship fleet had never been here.

Zichen finally became serious: "Let's go take a look."

"No!" Jormungandr refused without even thinking.

He once stumbled badly because of his curiosity, and he would never fall in the same place a second time!
He no longer wanted to explore the universe; he just wanted to live a long, long life.

"Informing the Star Alliance core about this through special channels is my greatest act of kindness."
