Chapter 177 Fragments

"They... have arrived."

This alien world... is slowly flying among the ruins of the 'Hall of Order'.

There are many huge floating objects floating in this place.

Most of them are tens to hundreds of meters in size and look like metal blocks.

These things are the remains of the buildings built by the Guardians of Order.

When this alien world flew here, Lin slowed it down and observed these things carefully.

These debris flew through the sky, but were not attracted by the gravity of the other world. They just flew by quietly.

Lin found that these debris... were all quite large.

In fact, the buildings originally built by the Guardians of Order were about the same size as these ruins.

And now these seem to be just small fragments of the building, so... Lin feels that this is a possibility.

Perhaps at some later time, the Guardian of Order never made the building move.

These buildings were built bigger and bigger by them, but they did not become the leaders of the order, so they reached a very huge level.

This should also be related to the collapse of their faith.

But this is just speculation. It is hard to say what happened over such a long period of time.

The current guardians of order have almost all turned into wild creatures. Although they still have a certain degree of intelligence, they have no idea what happened in the past.

Many of them don't even know that they used to be a "civilization".

I know this because... Lin met many guardians of order on the way here.

There are also some prisoners in this alien world now. They all landed here because they saw the alien world out of curiosity.

Then, they were all dealt with by local residents, and some were caught and put into jail.

There are many prisons underground in this "steam city"... Most of these prisons contain creatures from other worlds.

And now, there are many more...guardians of order.

These creatures, which looked like blocks of metal, were piled up in a large cell that was dozens of meters long and wide, and were watched by fully armed guards.

"Why did we lock up these strange creatures? I don't know. It is said that this is God's will."

The guards were all wondering why they were locked up.

Although most of the residents here have discovered many characteristics of the unforeseen place, they generally still do not accept that they are creatures of this void.

When they saw various dream creatures, they just thought they were strange monsters and could not understand why they had to be caught.

However, these guardians of order have no ability to resist and are in a very passive state.

Although they will wander around looking for food, if they encounter any danger they will only resist slightly and then stop moving.

Lin's troops... the tree known as 'God' was also observing the prison.

Because the tree's roots can reach the top of the prison, Lin can always monitor their...emotional state.

Although these creatures are prone to emotional breakdowns, they themselves don't know what is going on.

Lin could feel that they were always in a state of loss, feeling that nothing mattered and they didn't want to do anything.

Lin discovered that their emotions would shrink or magnify.

When they feel less depressed, they will want to move and even have the urge to escape.

When they are older, they will just stay still and not want to do anything.

Their mood changes are mainly related to the direction of this alien world.

Lin has always been controlling the direction of this world.

This world was originally moving towards the 'catapulting target', which was an environment imagined by the residents of this alien world.

Of course, the place they imagined was not the Hall of Order, but Lin could stop moving towards the target after arriving here and instead actively control the movement in the other world.

Lin controlled the alien world to wander around in this ruin, looking for interesting things... and Lin found that when the alien world went in a certain direction, the sense of loss of these guardians of order would increase rapidly.

When moving in the opposite direction, they reduce the emotion.

This obviously means...something in that direction is affecting them.

So, Lin adjusted the direction of the alien world, making it fly in a direction that would make them even more lost.

As they flew in this direction, these guardians of order became more and more...broken.

Their original feelings of loss began to accumulate, and finally they even felt that their lives were meaningless and had thoughts of suicide.

But because they didn't want to move at all, they didn't commit suicide.

"This is... We spotted something approaching!"

As their feelings of loss grew stronger, Lin discovered something unusual.

There are some fragments of several hundred meters in size approaching at high speed in the void.

This is what Lin saw at the starry sky simulation device, where she could observe this alien world with a radius of 300,000 kilometers.

These fragments would not be dangerous as long as they did not hit anything themselves, but now there is a large pile of fragments in front that seem to have turned into meteorites and are flying directly towards here.

City dwellers on the surface can also observe this.

Because Lin has been teaching them all kinds of things about unpredictable places and has built many observation towers.

These observation towers also look like tall metal buildings filled with pipes, which can observe the situation in the void.

"Break them up."

Lin asked the tree-shaped soldiers to issue instructions to the residents in the city. In fact, Lin could control the weapon system herself, but Lin wanted to see the power of the weapons made by these creatures themselves.

The residents who received the order immediately activated their weapons.

These weapons also look like tall towers, standing between cities.

When a threat approaches, they can fire... shells into the void.

'boom!'

Black shells flew out from the top of the tower, heading straight into the sky, towards the fragments attacking from the void.

The shells themselves are not affected by gravity, but this has been adjusted.

When they flew into the void and hit the huge flying fragments, these huge targets were shattered in an instant.

They all seem to be quite fragile, even though they are hundreds of meters in size.

This also shows that the weapons made by this group of Ershi people are quite good.

The power of the weapon itself can also be increased using complexity settings, and the effects of the weapon itself are very special.

“Ahhhh!”

Suddenly, Lin noticed that the residents on the street were screaming.

Lin saw them doing all kinds of crazy things, such as... attacking their own kind nearby.

At the same time, Lin also noticed a figure appearing in the void.

It seemed to be just the last...creature that Sharlene encountered before she lost contact.
