Chapter 229 Attack
Midgard has many wonderful abilities.
They are a great mystery in themselves and the ultimate wonder.
The investigators believed that they had obtained the information they wanted, and they felt that the Collapse of the Void could no longer obtain more information.
So the investigator decided to leave this place.
Of course, they did not explain many things clearly, such as how they knew that Midgardt committed suicide, and how they influenced the void to allow the small pipe to be born.
What the Overlappers are mainly concerned about is, of course... whether they have any way to end this war.
Although the investigators had talked a lot with the overlappers before, it seems that now they have stopped talking to them after the investigation.
They just told the overlappers that they were leaving, and then they stopped communicating with them... and prepared to leave this place.
Of course they didn't say where they were going.
The overlappers had no problem with the investigator's departure...not on the surface.
But in fact, the overlappers have already figured out the investigator's departure route because they had been following the investigator before.
Investigators move between spaces through some special means, and the distance of movement is much farther than the overlappers' own technology.
But they still cannot reach other voids immediately, they need to go through several space "jumps" to get there.
The overlappers don't know where the investigators are going, but they can see which direction the investigators are preparing to go.
The Overlapper then determined that the investigator wanted to return to the normal void, so he set up an ambush in several spaces that the investigator might use to jump.
Then...wait for the investigators to arrive.
This was the last resort of the Overlappers. They were unable to defeat the small pipe, and the investigator suddenly decided to leave... so they decided to attack the investigator.
Although they don't think the investigators are easy to deal with, they will be doomed if the war continues, so they have to do this.
The investigators seemed to be completely unaware of the overlappers' ambush, and they quickly began to leave.
And just as the overlappers predicted, the investigators arrived at a space where they were lying in ambush.
The overlappers immediately launched a full-scale attack.
The overlappers believe that their chances of winning are mainly due to the fact that they have not seen any powerful weapons from the investigators so far.
Although they have some weapons and equipment, they are inferior to those of the overlappers.
The Overlappers attacked the investigators with a glimmer of hope... and they succeeded.
After the attack, the investigators were wiped out by the overlappers without much resistance, and almost all of them were killed.
This result surprised the overlappers, as they had originally thought there would be a tough battle, and some even thought it was a suicide operation.
But they won.
After dealing with the investigator, although a lot of the investigator's aircraft and other things were damaged, there were still some... intact parts.
So the overlappers quickly studied the various things left by the investigators and learned about the investigators' techniques.
They wanted to know how the investigators were investigating Midgard's past events, so that they might be able to find a way to deal with the small pipe.
By quickly studying the various things left behind by the investigators, they learned some of the investigators' investigative methods.
Then... they found some 'language'.
The overlappers discovered that investigators had records that the remaining fragments of Midgard were all insignificant fragments.
That is, they are all some shells, or ruins of buildings built by the creatures that once lived on it.
There was not a single important organ left.
Because these organs themselves...become things that have an impact on their surroundings.
They are the main causes of various spatial anomalies.
The overlappers discovered that investigators determined that some spaces were the "incarnations" of some Midgard organs.
For example, the space that records the creations of their civilizations throughout the ages, as well as the space of those "time defenders", and so on.
The small pipe was born in the recorded space, and the reason for the birth of the small pipe is still unclear.
Investigators have many theories about the origin of the small pipes, and initially they were thought to be used to assemble Midgard.
But that's under normal circumstances.
That is when the void collapses... or the entire void.
When the Collapse Void collapsed, the target of the small pipe may have changed.
As for what changes have taken place, it is not clear. In fact, it is hard to say whether they are used to assemble Midgard.
However, the collapse of the void must have had an impact on the afterlife environment 'set' in Midgard.
To gain a deeper understanding of all this, investigators have created some devices that communicate with the small pipes.
It’s just that the investigators didn’t plan to use this device here. They planned to return to the normal void and then find a small pipe that had grown to a large size to communicate.
Now that the overlappers have discovered the investigators' device, they immediately decided to try using this device to communicate with the small pipe.
This device...is actually a small pipe imitated by the investigator.
They completely simulate real small pipes to create a... small pipe.
At the same time, they can direct the activities of this imitation small pipe and communicate with other small pipes.
The overlappers used it and found that...the imitations could indeed blend into the real small pipe group.
Although the communication is done in the overlapper's own language, other small channels will respond to it, thus solving the communication problem.
They found that these small pipes usually communicate in various languages, including the language of the overlappers, but it is not often used. However, no matter how the overlappers themselves send signals to the small pipes, it is useless.
They must communicate through this fake channel.
By communicating with the small pipe, the overlappers also learned why the small pipe wanted to destroy them.
In fact, the main purpose of this group of small pipes is to... collect everything about the overlappers.
All things related to the overlappers, all creatures related to the overlappers, must be recycled.
Then all the recycled items are placed somewhere in the Collapsed Void, and their mission is completed.
Until then they will keep moving.
After these overlappers knew this...it didn't seem to help the war at all.
The little pipes will not be willing to stop acting for any reason, no matter how they communicate.
Finally, the overlappers figured out a way.
What they need to do is to separate themselves from the overlappers and become creatures that are not overlappers. In this way, they should be able to escape from this war.
They did try to do that at the time... but they didn't succeed.
They can no longer escape the identity of overlappers.
But in doing so they made another discovery.
