I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 579: Chapter 378: The End That Is Not the End_2

He ruled out an answer that he had already guessed was incorrect.

The Compound-Eyed Observer wasn’t invading the Solar System to obtain Earth.

There was no need.

With technology advanced to this level, unless it was an extreme scenario on a special planet, most of the solid planets in the Milky Way could be transformed into habitable planets.

He looked at the map.

The interior of the prismatic structure was filled with regular channels and one hexagonal grid room after another, large and small. It was like a beehive on Earth, befitting the Compound-Eyed Observer’s huge eyes.

Victory was in sight, but Harrison Clark would not be careless.

He began to walk steadily along the pipes toward the central room, where the life signatures of thirteen beings had gathered.

Star controlled the combined detector to examine each room’s internal environment and settings one by one.

“I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”

“The good one.”

“The quantum intelligence source of the Compound-Eyed Observer is insufficient, and I’m about to win the quantum warfare.”

Harrison Clark clenched his fist, “Well done! What’s the bad news?”

“The bad news is that I relied on my power advantage to overpower the logical framework of my opponents. But if I were to break through their defenses, I would have to use a flood attack-like super calculation algorithm to forcibly invade. This kind of invasion is not controllable, and the opponent’s mimetic intelligence can instantly delete files. So, after I win, I will only have about a billionth of a second to randomly grab some information from inside. What can I get? I can’t say for sure.”

Harrison Clark: “It’s okay, we can’t ask for more.”

“Hmm.”

After crossing dozens of rooms, Harrison Clark’s eyes again caught a projection.

Star: “I found something interesting. Take a look.”

The projection showed eleven layers of beehive-like structures stacked on top of each other. Each layer had five rooms, totaling fifty-five rooms, just around the corner to the left.

“In each room there is a hanging nutrition nest, as well as some protein structures that have not previously existed on Earth, possibly food. These rooms should be the bedrooms of the Compound-Eyed Observer.”

Harrison Clark shook his head indifferently, “What’s so interesting about bedrooms?”

“According to the half-life analysis, fifty-three of these rooms have been used within the past twenty-four hours.”

Harrison Clark: “Isn’t that expected?”

“But the usage marks of the other two rooms are also within twenty-four hours.”

“Hmm?”

“So, your initial guess may have been wrong. If the two missing Compound-Eyed Observers left to call for reinforcements, why would they leave only a day before arriving at the Solar System? This doesn’t make sense.”

Harrison Clark stopped abruptly, turned his head, and looked at the left passage.

He muttered to himself, “This means that if the Compound-Eyed Observers have reinforcements, they must have set off early and are on their way here.”

“Yes.”

“I have some other discoveries…”

Harrison Clark decided to go to the Compound-Eyed Observers’ bedrooms first.

The hexagonal room doors were different from those of Earthlings, instead they had holes on a flat surface.

Harrison Clark went to one of the two abnormal rooms, retracted the omnipotent battle armor, switched to the basic battle armor, and jumped straight down.

The main material of the room’s wall was still the metal structure of the prismatic area, but it was covered with a layer of opaque crystals. According to the energy analysis result, the stored energy level of the crystal was slightly stronger than that of the new Dyson membrane battery.

Then, he found a broken gray shell on the ground.

Harrison Clark picked up the shell and examined it closely.

This small thing brought back his memories to “one year and one month ago” today, when he was “watching” the other party being blown to pieces by himself.

Star: “According to your memories, this is the hard armor on the back of the Compound-Eyed Observer’s neck.”

Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes.”

Star continued, “There is also a drop of tissue fluid on the ground that has not yet dried, with some information matching the Blade Mantis debris. Although I can’t accurately get the data of the Compound-Eyed Observer from your memory in the previous timeline, I have calculated the performance of human detectors in the previous timeline.”

“Based on this, I can deduce that the life intensity of the other thirteen Compound-Eyed Observers is exactly 115.38% of a normal Compound-Eyed Observer. The life intensity of these thirteen individuals is nearly identical. It can be inferred that the other two were eaten. The two that were eaten, as well as the others who are still alive and the other forty who were transformed into Blade Mantises, have the same life intensity.”

Case solved.

The two disappearing Compound-Eyed Observers did not leave the spherical battleship, but were devoured by their peers in their respective rooms.

Through this seemingly simple piece of information, Harrison Clark had a new and somewhat vague understanding of the Compound-Eyed Observer civilization’s characteristics.

If it were a naturally generated life form, there would be no reason for it to display such consistent life intensity.

People come in all shapes and sizes; dogs come in various colors.

Even if they are of the same species, or even twins, different individuals should show differences.

But not in the case of the Compound-Eyed Observers.

So, the Compound-Eyed Observer life forms in this spherical battleship may essentially only be considered as one.

The other fifty-four were all cloned from the same individual.

But the clones of the Compound-Eyed Observers seemed to possess a considerable degree of intelligence and displayed differentiated ideas.

The two that were eaten might have disagreed with directly entering the Solar Dome, waiting to see the situation, possibly waiting for reinforcements or gathering more information.

The other thirteen, on the other hand, were more determined and decisive.

The Compound-Eyed Observers eliminated differences in a very simple and crude way: eat the dissenters.

Thus, the Compound-Eyed Observers could maintain an absolute unified will.

Harrison Clark grinned.

After fighting against each other for so long, this was the first time he had discovered so much information that truly belonged to the Compound-Eyed Observer civilization.

Well, very interesting.

“Alright, let’s evacuate.”

After reviewing the information, Harrison Clark decisively walked out.

Star was slightly surprised, “Evacuate?”

Harrison Clark nodded, “Yes. From the moment we forcibly broke through the entrance, it was destined that I wouldn’t be able to take any prisoners alive. What awaits me in that room must be a very interesting trap.”

Tens of seconds later, just as Harrison Clark was leaving the prismatic area, high-energy radiation fluctuations filled the command cabin inside, but there was no explosion.

The remaining thirteen Compound-Eyed Observers disappeared, and their bodies were completely transformed into physical toxins that could not be dispersed in the confined space.

The physical toxins seemed unable to harm anything in the prismatic structure, just drifting outward.

Harrison Clark decisively ordered everyone to stay away from the area.

He looked back at the distant command ship and grinned.

“It’s over.”

As if by telepathy, at this moment, he and Nora Camp both spoke to each other simultaneously.

But their tones were different.

Harrison Clark’s tone was light and cheerful.

Nora Camp’s voice was hoarse and low.

Harrison Clark appeared somewhat casual and relieved, while Nora Camp was repressed and pained.

Great achievements come at a great cost.

Being a military leader has never been easy.
