Chapter 230 Companions
"Even if you stay, you can provide little help in the face of doomsday." Xu Lingqu sighed as he looked at Master Duanmeng who was in a bad state.
"Staying here will only mean a few more deaths. It's great to be here." Xu Lingqu turned around and looked at his strange weapons. "But why has this place become like this? The Republic has vanished, and the new system that emerged is the Federation and the Empire?"
After realizing that he was most likely a "deserter", Master Duanmeng felt strange emotions surging in his heart. He looked at Xu Lingqu, thinking about how she fought after putting on armor, and her slightly sharp personality.
It's the end of humanity. How could Master Dream Forging have imagined how dire the situation would be? How had she survived? 11 years... She spoke so nonchalantly about the end of the world, about her own death...
The twisted emotions that should appear in the apocalypse were not reflected in her at all. Even when she knew that a group of humans had abandoned them and ran away, she did not show any extreme emotions. Instead, she comforted him.
Master Duanmeng sighed, temporarily put aside the doubts and mixed emotions in his heart, and began to reveal the other side of this interstellar world to Xu Lingqu.
"There are two people left in this photo. You should have guessed it." He lowered his eyes to look at the photo. "They are Yode Merlin and Candice Merlin, the current leader of the Federation and the deceased legendary Federation Admiral, Admiral Merlin."
"The five of us were once companions."
"This story begins with the fall of the Republic. Humanity arrived in the Xuanluo Galaxy in 678, which was also the 525th year since the founding of the Republic. That year, Ashefele launched a rebellion, and the Republic was divided and turbulent for 20 years. In the end, Ashefele won, and the Republic fell, and the Federation was born."
"Ashfele firmly rejected the common ancestry of Earth humans and interstellar humans, insisting that interstellar humans and Earth humans were not the same species. To this end, he launched a century-long plan to eliminate human civilization. The cultural loss and chaotic expressions you see today, as well as interstellar humans' current indifference to history and culture, are all products of this plan."
Master Dream Forging sighed, "But how could culture be completely transformed so easily? That's why you can still see many traces of Earth culture. But due to his massacres and constant tampering and brainwashing, all the interstellar humans who knew the truth have died. Even if the culture is still passed down, the truth has been successfully buried by him..."
"Because so many people died, he was forced to bring back the artificial womb technology and start mass-producing new humans. To do this, he even fabricated the process of the birth of artificial womb technology." Master Forging Dreams smiled slightly mockingly. "Our technology is still useful, so he kept the humans who were still hibernating and didn't kill them. He can wake them up when he needs them. As long as we monitor them 24/7, we don't have to worry about him exposing the truth. At worst, he can just kill them and be done with it."
"In the 289th year of the Federation, Galaxy and I were the last two humans left in the hibernation chamber and were awakened. Mecha manufacturing reached a critical stage. As an expert in this field, I was awakened, and Galaxy was just a byproduct."
"I was conducting mecha research in the laboratory, and Galaxy was helping me. It was also in the Federation laboratory that we met Caesar Euripides."
"As for mental power, there have been ways to test it since the Republic era. After all, starships have a certain mental power threshold. But since it was just a starship, people didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until the 218th year of the Federation that the prototype of mechas first appeared. Mechas have very high mental power requirements, and the federal government began to pay attention to the research of mental power..."
"In the Euripides family, there are people with high spiritual power in every generation, so they became the subjects of research."
Speaking of this, Master Dream Forging seemed to recall the time when he and Galaxy first met Caesar.
The red-haired boy who was locked up in the laboratory maintained a defiant look even when being continuously shocked by the experimenters. He only had one sentence to say to the federal experimenters.
"I will kill you when I get out."
Those federal experimenters just thought he was bragging and tortured him even more cruelly, hoping to see him admit his mistakes, but Caesar refused to do so.
He was like a wounded young lion, always looking for an opportunity to bite a poacher to death, and that day, he really found it.
Caesar Euripides escaped and fled to the laboratory where the Dream Forger was. He kidnapped Galaxy and wanted to use it to threaten others to escape from here.
"Do you know what that psychopath Galaxy did back then? He told Caesar, 'Don't arrest him, arrest me. I'm researching S-class mechas, and my life is more valuable.'" Master Forging Dreams snorted coldly, "He's just like that, he's always going crazy..."
Caesar actually listened to him and took the Dream Forger hostage. Galaxy immediately became Caesar's helper. In fact, he was fully capable of counterattacking Caesar. He was the best fighter among the three.
Galaxy took the lead and killed people along the way with weapons that he had hidden at some unknown time, and thus led them out of the Federation's secret experimental base.
"Once we got out, we were inevitably hunted by the federal government. The Ferrer family put a high bounty on us. At that time, we barely escaped onto an interstellar pirate ship and met Candice and Yoder."
"Their parents were members of the Republic's resistance army. They were all killed by the government and the Ferrer family, and their families were not spared either. They were also hunted down and had no choice but to hide on the interstellar pirate ship."
"The five of us gathered together under the pursuit of the Federation and took this photo. At that time, our common dream was to overthrow the Feller family, destroy the Federation, and re-establish the Interstellar Republic."
