Chapter 258: Purification Core (2)

A beam of light that was very weak compared to the brightness of the star shot out from the battleship into the star. The light was so dim that it took the observation station some time to detect the appearance of the beam.
However, compared to that, the movement produced by the star was even more intense.
The star, which should have at least eight billion years of life, began to expand at an extraordinary speed. The expansion of the star could even be seen with the naked eye.
The light emitted by the star was also flickering, but it was getting brighter and brighter. It was obvious that there was a problem with the fusion reaction inside the star, and it was not an ordinary problem.
Under the injection of that strange light beam, the lifespan of the star was abnormally depleted and soon reached the threshold.
Just as those Al Planets were about to be dismembered, the civilizations of the Milky Way also observed an unforgettable scene.
Humph, which had expanded to its limit, was just a step away from swallowing the giant central processing unit that was surrounding it. However, the unexpected enemy seemed to be prepared to use a safer method to completely destroy this ancient archenemy.
So the star exploded.
In just a few hours, it had advanced billions of years of life, turning all the parts that it had not yet experienced into energy that was released to the outside world.
Powerful electromagnetic radiation and mass ejections could destroy almost all life in the galaxy. Hundreds, even thousands of years later, signs of supernova explosions could be detected here.
Unlike the matter that was ejected outward, the matter at the center of the star collapsed inward under high temperature and pressure, forming a large black hole.
This explosion lasted for a long time, but the result was already known in advance.
The broken central processing unit that maintained the operation of the Administrator was completely destroyed. Not even a scrap was left.
In the future, when they came here again, they would only see a black hole named the central processing unit and traces of supernova explosions that covered the entire galaxy.
The heavy atmosphere in the venue had never dissipated, but this time, with the explosion of the central processing unit, it became even heavier.
They felt that they should be sad, but there was no time for them to be sad now. The moment the central processing unit was destroyed, it meant that they would face this crisis in the true sense.
“What kind of battleship is that? If you want to describe it, it seems to be somewhat similar to Colossus. They are both super weapons that can directly destroy planets, but…”
“But it destroyed the stars, using principles we cannot understand. This is much more efficient than Colossus. Putting aside whether the cosmic environment behind the black hole is still suitable for life, just take the supernova explosion before it collapses into a black hole as an example. It’s difficult for us to resist. All life in the entire galaxy will die in an instant.” “Obviously, the unexpected enemy no longer treats every galaxy planet as seriously as it did before… Perhaps they feel that we are too deep-rooted and need to use drastic measures?”
The battleship that could destroy a star had truly shocked them. They had never thought that the unexpected enemy would have such a trick up his sleeve. He had secretly taken out something big that could detonate a star in a very short time.
“Perhaps this is the method that the unexpected enemy should have used to carry out purification. After all, it can destroy a galaxy at once. This is too efficient…”
“Perhaps, the Administrator’s assistance to us with the Administrator Fleet exists to guard against such battleships. After all, our species is very fragile. Even if the star only produces a little abnormality, it is enough to cause the entire civilization to migrate…”
“We were determined to fight to the death with the Administrator and trade the space of the civilization for more time, but in fact, they had already thought of everything.”
“If we really pull the Administrator Fleet into the battle, then the unexpected enemy will probably destroy the entire galaxy along with the star like this. At that time, civilization will really be destroyed…”
“So, how’s the situation with the Administrator?”
The other representative’s words made everyone fall silent. Although they did not want to believe it, the result was self-evident since even the central processing unit was destroyed.
In the end, it was a representative who brought the results of the communication from the civilization behind him.
“I won’t say much. I’ve already obtained public permission. You can see for yourself.”
As he spoke, he revealed the contents of the video.
It was their civilization’s diplomat trying to communicate with the Administrator. On the huge screen were a large number of chaotic characters.
They had been maintaining a one-sided communication with the Administrator since the start of the battle, constantly paying attention to the Administrator’s status.
It was also when the central processing unit was blown into a black hole that the screen, which was filled with chaotic characters, fell into dead silence.
It was as if the computer had suddenly crashed, and there was no response to any visits. No matter how many times he called, the screen would always show nothing.
The once chaotic runes still represented alive, but the empty silence signified the eternal departure of a certain civilization.
It wasn’t like the Milky Way had never experienced the destruction of a lost empire, but this time, it was unprecedentedly heavy..
