Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic Chapter 769 - 388: The Past in the Darkness, The Origin of the Galaxy Warrior!
Su Yu, in the eyes of these Galaxy Warriors, had transformed from a suspicious outsider to a respected "lord."
Su Yu naturally didn’t stand on ceremony and directly inquired.
Currently, he was in the dark, and what he needed most was information.
The ten Galaxy Warriors exchanged glances, then looked at the Navigation Disk in Su Yu’s hand, seemingly confirming something. Then, the leader, the most powerful among them, spoke up, "Reporting, my lord, we are..."
Following that, the Galaxy Warriors detailed their experiences to Su Yu, revealing the "truth" of this dark space.
After a while, Su Yu finished listening and thought to himself: so that’s how it is.
These Galaxy Warriors were actually old "colleagues," old comrades of the Galaxy Battle Armor.
No wonder Su Yu found their armor familiar.
Su Yu’s old friend, the Galaxy Battle Armor, had traveled from the "future" to this spacetime.
At that time, the betrayed battalion to which the Galaxy Battle Armor belonged received information that the Azure Star had lost contact with the Empire, suspected of rebellion, so the Empire dispatched them to investigate.
However, upon reaching their destination aboard their battleship, they discovered that only their squad remained on the entire ship.
Everyone else on the battleship, along with the Fifth Rank battalion leader, had disappeared.
Upon investigation, the Galaxy Battle Armor learned that they had traveled through time, returning to several hundred years ago, but only their squad had crossed over.
Over the years, the Galaxy Battle Armor has constantly wondered what happened to the comrades who traveled with them on the battleship, why they disappeared.
Were those comrades unable to traverse time, or did some accident occur?
Now, Su Yu had unraveled part of the mystery.
The Galaxy Warriors in front of Su Yu were members of a squad from that original battalion.
They had also traveled through time but did not reach the same period as Su Yu; instead, they arrived in this strange space.
According to the Galaxy Warriors’ description, a major disaster erupted in this uncanny space.
There was a terrible war where the stars of the star system vanished during the battle.
In this space’s star system, there was originally Azure Star too, but during that war, the entire Azure Star was shattered and disappeared without a trace.
The shattering of the planet naturally led to the death of all humans on it.
After the battle ended, only a few humans in space stations, spaceships, or alien bases survived.
Although these survivors lived on, they were entirely oblivious to the cause and outcome of the war.
The scale and rank of that battle were exceptionally high, and the fighting was incredibly swift.
At Su Yu’s level, combat can occur within millionths of a second.
Let alone a terrifying war that can shatter planets and make stars disappear.
So these survivors fundamentally knew nothing, as the stars and planets were obliterated.
The highest-ranking official on the planet also disappeared without leaving any information.
At that time, the stars had vanished, and though gravity maintained the orbits of planets, without the light and heat they emitted, the entire star system plunged into silence.
Thus, humans on the planet immediately sought to save themselves. They first checked where the stars were supposed to be, only to find nothing there, not understanding where such gravity came from.
After unfruitful research, they attempted to escape using spaceships, but the entire starry sky was pitch dark.
It seemed not only the stars but the entire universe had disappeared!
Upon leaving the planet, there was only infinite dark vacuum, without any presence of other planets.
These people piloted their spaceships, making Subspace jumps, flying hundreds of light-years, ultimately forced to return and land on another planet within the star system.
This planet had water and atmosphere and had established a base that could support the survival of over a million people.
However, without starlight, the planet’s surface would soon freeze over.
For these people, extreme cold wasn’t a significant threat.
Given their technology, they could survive even in the cosmic vacuum.
The real threat was some terrifying force in the darkness.
After living in the base for a while, strange things began to happen.
As long as someone was completely engulfed in darkness, they would easily disappear, even Seven-star Transcendents were no exception.
At night, when they turned off the lights to sleep, the next day the person would be gone.
If they kept the lights on, they wouldn’t disappear.
However, sleeping with the lights on caused them to dream about those who vanished into the darkness.
Those people were covered in blood, in some horrific place, crying out in agony.
That wailing was imbued with some sort of dreadful spiritual contamination.
Plagued by such nightmares, many went insane, willingly walked into the darkness outside the base, never to return.
Among the survivors, there were also powerful Transcendents who quickly researched the source of these anomalies: the dark vacuum outside the planet.
That power was blocked by the planet’s energy.
So, they began digging underground.
Indeed, after delving hundreds of kilometers underground, the anomalies weakened significantly.
To be safe, they continued digging deeper, until they reached miles below ground.
Then, using the abilities of a nine-star Transcendent and some biotechnology, they built an Underground Shelter.
That biotechnology included the glowing mushrooms Su Yu had seen.
With such a shelter, these people finally found safety.
At this point, they numbered over a hundred thousand, mostly Transcendents, including dozens of Seven-star powerhouses.
