Chapter 228: The Fragments Left Behind

"Why are you doing this? We want to end this!"

In the collapsed spaces, the overlappers were trying to tell the small pipes their thoughts and trying to communicate with this group of creatures.

They have tried this many times before.

The overlappers never succeeded, as if the small pipes ignored all their communication messages.

But this time it's a little different because we have the help of an 'investigator'.

Investigators have been investigating Midgard's situation, and they have previously discovered the time of Midgard's death.

They are now investigating the cause of Midgard's death.

To this end, the investigators embarked on a journey... They planned to go to the Collapsed Void, the place where Midgardt died, and conduct a thorough investigation.

Those who overlapped also followed the investigators.

These investigators have a very high 'tolerance' for overlaps.

Although they only had a simple communication when they met for the first time, and the investigators did not say too many things to the overlappers, after this encounter, they were willing to tell the overlappers a lot of things.

I am also willing to take those who overlap with me away from these spaces.

In fact, the overlapper also thought about returning to the Collapsed Void, but he just couldn't find the "route" back.

The investigators have a special way of moving, which allows them to directly find the location of Midgard's death.

The Overlappers sent out a team and started this investigation journey with the investigators...and when they arrived at the location of death, they found that this was not a void.

But it is a space of about the same size as before.

This phenomenon surprised the overlappers very much...and then they discovered the reason why they had not been able to find the route.

The investigators were also a little surprised, so they conducted some tests and came to a conclusion.

Maybe there is no Collapse of the Void anymore.

The entire collapsing void...all collapsed into this kind of shattered space, and finally, the void just disappeared.

Whether or not this was caused by Midgard is unclear, but it certainly cracked something.

Investigators set up a base here and carefully studied all the traces here to understand what happened in Midgard.

In fact, they don't know about Midgard's afterlife state, the 'Eternal Observer'.

They are mainly investigating the cause of its death... and why it caused various effects.

At this location, investigators can find many traces of the past, such as remaining fragments of Midgard.

Some of these fragments are very large, and even the civilized buildings on them are preserved. The investigators discovered something very interesting while investigating them.

That is part of the message left by the residents up there.

Before its death, Midgard was home to a huge number of species of creatures, and of course, many civilizations.

Among this group of creatures there is one special one.

This group of creatures are very strange. They originally lived on the pipes as a civilized creature.

But at some point in their lives, they collectively begin to become interested in other species around them and want to become like those creatures.

Then they will try every means to become other species, mainly by transforming their own bodies, and they will succeed in the end. Most of these creatures have transformed themselves into other species.

Of course, their civilization was also torn apart. They could be said to have become other species and then integrated into the groups of other species.

Because the species they integrate into are generally less civilized, or even less intelligent, so after integration, they will "lead" that species to develop civilization rapidly.

Because they are integrated into many different groups of organisms, they also lead to the development of many different organisms.

Then, when they had all developed to a similar level, they went to war with each other.

They do not regard their own species who have integrated into other species as their own species, but only think that the species they have integrated into is the best.

Then after the war, there was a species that...won.

Midgard didn't seem to stop the whole process.

And this victorious species continued to live here for some time after Midgard's death.

At that time, Midgard's body began to shatter like the collapsing void, turning into many small pieces.

But it is a huge creature after all. Even after its death, the resources in its body can allow the species that originally lived on it to continue to develop for a long time.

But eventually the resources were exhausted, and the species left Midgard's body and headed elsewhere.

This species seems to be the earliest...overlapper.

They were creatures that once lived in Midgard, but left it after Midgard's death... and developed in this void.

And I continued my past...hobby, which is to play the role of other creatures.

They also recorded some causes of death in Midgard at that time.

In fact, like most creatures living in Midgard, they did not realize that the place they lived in was a living creature.

However, they were still able to observe the process of Midgard's self-decomposition.

This process is very strange. According to their records, a "luminous object" is eliminating the structure of Midgard.

This luminous object is similar to a floating ball of light. There are a lot of them, and anything they touch will be swallowed up and disappear.

Under the rampage of these luminous objects, most of Midgardt's body disappeared, and when only a small part was left, these luminous objects disappeared.

Of course, all of this... was not recorded in the previous space that could display the past and the future.

What the investigators found there before was just the scene of Midgard's complete disappearance, and they didn't see so many fragments left.

I didn't see any luminous objects.

After learning all this, the investigators were able to determine that Midgardt... committed suicide.

This is a kind of suicide called "empty suicide".

This is actually a kind of... guesswork of their own.

Simply put, if Midgard arrives at a new void, it will commit suicide. Their suicide will create a mysterious connection with the void, which will not only change the surrounding environment, but will also give birth to the 'Constructor'.

'Constructors' are the creatures responsible for assembling Midgard.

They have different forms in different voids, like in solidified void they are evaporators.

And in the collapsing void, there are small pipes.

The Pipelets are a species of creature responsible for constructing Midgard... or originally were.
