Chapter 227 Exploration
This creature can 'explore' time.
If something like a missile hits Midgard, it can analyze where the object passed through and what it encountered before it came.
This kind of exploration can continue for a very long time, and can discover the moment when the missile was assembled. Even its assemblers and the origins of the materials that make up the missile can be fully investigated.
Eventually Midgard will use the information gained in this way to find...anything that attacks it and completely destroy it.
Although there is no mention of predicting the future, Midgard itself can definitely calculate various future situations.
This huge pipe travels through the three voids, doing whatever it likes.
When this kind of creature dies, it will have a great impact on the surrounding environment.
It is possible that the various wonderful spatial environments within the collapsed void were caused by Midgard... Perhaps the collapse of the void is also related to this.
The 'investigator' thinks so.
After investigating multiple spaces, they believed that the environment in most spaces was caused by Midgard.
Some of Midgard's original organs and various abilities changed the surrounding environment, and the collapse of the void distributed these changes to different spaces.
What the investigators are not sure about is... whether the void collapse was also caused by Midgard.
The overlappers knew that this was caused by 'themselves', but they did not tell the investigators about the overlappers' past.
They mainly want to learn from the investigators how to defeat the small pipe.
Investigators also believe that the small pipe is a product of Midgard's death and is a very special product.
They are not things like young Midgard, but rather a kind of...'fragments'.
They themselves are a very small part of Midgard, and possess various abilities related to Midgard, but... they themselves cannot discover or directly use these abilities.
They need to let the residents on their bodies discover their abilities, including abilities like teleportation and so on.
The small pipes themselves have some things that can be used for transporting...substances and the like, but they cannot synthesize these things directly by themselves. They need to rely on the residents living on them to discover these substances and synthesize them.
As for why this is the case... the investigator is not sure.
The little pipe inherited some of Midgard's habits, and perhaps also some of his ideas, interests, etc.
Eventually the fragments came together to create this creature.
The little pipes seem to be very powerful, but they are also very simple creatures.
Investigators said that if you want to defeat the little pipes, one more effective method is to make them lose interest in you.
The small pipes attack the overlappers, which must be because they are interested in some part of the overlappers.
For example, the overlappers, they were attacked before because the small pipes were interested in the memory experiences they stored.
And now, the little pipe wants to kill all the overlappers, it must be because he is interested in something, and it will be easy to deal with as long as we find their interest.
But now I don’t know what they want.
Of course, the small pipes will not communicate with the overlappers, they will just keep attacking.
So, the Overlappers decided to investigate with the investigators... They believed that as long as they understood Midgard better, they would definitely be able to find a feasible method.
Investigators mainly understand the impact of Midgard's death in multiple spaces around it.
The overlappers also sent out a special team to investigate with the investigators, and in the process they discovered... there were indeed many strange places.
There are quite a few spaces that are very similar, whether it's the 'rules' or the environment, they are almost the same.
And there are many spaces with very wonderful environments, and these spaces with wonderful environments... are caused by Midgard.
Investigators believe that these spaces match some of the environments inside Midgard.
The overlappers try to investigate whether there is anything left behind, such as organs.
If so, it might be possible to send commands to the small tubes through these organs... or communicate with them or something.
Whatever can end the war.
It's just that they have never discovered this thing.
Investigators said that the death of Midgard is somewhat different from the death of ordinary creatures. Its death is not caused by the impact of body fragments on the surroundings, but a strange change in the environment.
It's like adding consciousness to the surrounding void, causing all kinds of wonderful things to happen.
The normal matter originally in the void will be synthesized into various new...things due to this influence.
The small pipeline should have been born under such influence.
Since they could not find anything, the overlappers finally decided to carefully study the space where they could see illusions of the past and the future.
This place cannot predict the future with complete accuracy, but it can fully understand the past.
So they tried to understand... the past of the overlappers from this place.
However, since the content that appears here is highly random, overlappers cannot obtain long-term and useful information.
However, the investigators did find out some facts.
They learned some records by investigating the 'depths' of this space.
That is what happened during Midgard's lifetime.
This pipe is smaller than the one Lin encountered, and is about 70,000 kilometers long. Just as the investigators had speculated, it was roaming in the collapsing void.
The Shattered Void itself is a very unstable void, and as Midgard moved forward... it deliberately destroyed many locations.
To be precise, it is to expand the cracks in the collapsing void.
This Midgard used some method to impact these existing cracks, making them grow bigger and bigger.
In fact, the cracks were not caused by the overlappers, but seemed to have existed for a long time.
Midgard deliberately enlarged many cracks in the Collapsing Void, and then it flew to the center of a large number of cracks.
Then...he died there.
I have no idea why he died.
According to the records, it stopped moving, and then its body decomposed bit by bit and disappeared completely.
Investigators who observed this scene believed that Midgard was indeed the result of all these spatial phenomena.
Perhaps all the space here, including those pseudo-space creatures, were caused by Midgard.
If this is correct, then the formation of the void tunnel in the future seems to be related to Midgard.
