Chapter 435 - 435: The Supreme Tower
Tens of thousands of uniquely shaped spaceships gathered in the ‘Wound’ Galaxy that day. The extremely dangerous ‘subspace rifts’ did not seem to stop the spaceships from advancing. They easily removed the space fortress of the ‘Exiled’ and built a ‘Supreme Tower’ there.
Although in the past, they only needed to rely on mobile spaceships to collect galactical energy, this time, they were going to carry out the ‘Great Ascension.’ It would be impossible without a huge galactical building.
And that ‘Hell Defense Line’ that the ‘Exiled’ regarded as their lifeline was easily broken through, and it was at the ‘Wound’ section that they thought was the most tightly guarded.
In addition, many of the ‘Exiled’ troops in the surrounding area had also been cleared, which led to a huge gap in the ‘Hell Defense Line.’ At that time, the so-called ‘defense line’ was only in name.
The ‘Exiled’ once again realized how big the gap between them and an ‘apex’ civilization was. The only fortunate thing was that the ‘Hunters’ did not pay attention to them. Just like in the past, only the ‘Hunters’ who were not part of the regular space fleet would fight them.
At that moment, in the ‘Wound’ Galaxy, a tower-like megastructure was being built at an extremely fast speed as if it had been pulled up from the ground.
Or rather, it was not ‘built’ but ‘unpacked.’
The tower megastructure seemed to be placed in a special sub-space and could be released into the real universe when needed. The ‘Hunters’ had long prepared for that day and did not want to delay for a moment.
The tower stood on the plane of the galaxy as expected. It was in an extremely high position, far away from all the dangerous ‘subspace rifts,’ but it did not leave the ‘Wound’ Galaxy’s range. Just like the passage connecting Gods and men in the myths, it connected ‘reality’ to ‘reality’ at that moment.
The top of the tower was surrounded by layers of ‘ring-like’ structures. The only luminous part of the tower could be seen there. It was a square box bound by some kind of force field.
Although it was called a box, its size was probably close to the size of the moon. The transparent tubes on its surface were flowing with inexplicable liquid, emitting brilliant light in the universe’s space. That was the source of the light at the top of the tower.
According to the ‘Hunters” structural records, that place was used to store a matter that could release a large amount of energy in a short period. It looked like it was only the size of the moon, but the actual internal storage space had been expanded to a terrifying extent under the ‘data adjustment.’
Their original plan was to store a large amount of dark matter there to meet the energy needs of ‘breaking through the cycle.’ But right then, they had a better alternative.
The ‘Dimensional Star’ contained an unbelievable amount of energy. Although the ‘Hunters’ didn’t understand the source of the energy, they estimated that it might be the energy of ‘a world.’
Such a huge amount of energy was compressed into a sphere that was only a dozen meters in diameter, completely satisfying the ‘Hunters” need to ‘release a huge amount of energy at once.’
In that way, the last piece of the puzzle for their ‘Great Ascension’ had been completed, and it was officially launched that day.
Many ‘destroyer-level’ battleships were also in the ‘Wound’ Galaxy. They seemed to have stopped at specific locations in the galaxy according to some kind of law.
The naked eye couldn’t see it, but under the device’s detection, it showed that there were more or less ‘spatial rifts’ in the vicinity of those locations.
The ‘Hunters’ chose the ‘Wound’ as the location for ‘breaking through the cycle’ because they believed that that was the weakest part of the ‘World Barrier.’ It was different from the ‘World Barrier’ that the ‘World Breakers’ knew. It was a ‘Dimensional Barrier’ between ‘data’ and ‘reality.’
Getting close to those ‘subspace rifts’ would help them better break through that ‘barrier.’
In addition to the ‘destroyer-level’ battleships responsible for maintaining the operation of the ‘Supreme Tower’ megastructure, some special spaceships had also appeared for the first time.
It was a type of spaceship that was similar to a planet. It was not an exaggeration to call it a ‘planetary spaceship.’
There were very few such spaceships, but it was the gathering place of the ‘Hunter’ civilization. Their entire race was there, and that ‘Great Ascension’ was to transform ‘data’ into real life.
Now, the ‘Hunter’ civilization, which had wandered the universe, finally stopped their destructive journey and focused all their energy on the ‘Supreme Tower.’
Their entire civilization was gathered there, waiting for the arrival of the final moment. That was the end of their long journey, and no matter what the outcome was, they would end that ‘cycle.’
Everyone in the galaxy paid attention to their actions, including the ‘Exiled.’
Even though they were unsure what the ‘Hunter’ civilization was up to, they knew they were doing something unimaginable.
They knew that as the ‘supporting roles’ of that galaxy, they could only watch as the other party completed all of that.
However, there were still a small number of people who were unwilling to sink into the abyss until they learned that the ‘Hell Defense Line’ was proven to be useless and that all the troops dispatched would return to their ‘homeland’ in the near future. They decided to complete their ‘goal’ before that.
Their mobile fleet quietly set off from the ‘Hell Defense Line’ that was on the verge of collapse. Under the tacit consent of the general on duty, who turned a blind eye to them, they went to the ‘Hunting Ground’ to search for the trace of the ‘Legendary Hunter.’
And the leader of that fleet was the war hero of the ‘Exiled,’ the ace pilot who had fought against the ‘Legendary Hunter’ – Scarface.
With hatred, they challenged enemies far stronger than them.
As for the ‘Legendary Hunter’ himself, he did not choose to return to where the ‘Supreme Tower’ was due to a certain reason. Instead, he was still lingering on his ‘battlefield.’
At that moment, he was writing in his diary as usual. Coincidentally, he had already written to the last page of the diary.
“I’m the ‘Legendary Hunter,’ and I’m currently waiting for my final moment in a place I call the ‘Hunting Ground.\'”
“My mother planet has already issued the order to recall us because our ‘civilization’s long-cherished wish’ is about to be fulfilled. As a member of the civilization, I should be present.”
“But my body is telling me that that is not what I desire. I should have ‘another ending,’ one where I would be admired as a rising star, not a spectator of a grand ritual.”
“This is what makes me worthy of the name ‘Legendary..\'”
