My Children Swarm the Cosmos – Chapter 95

In the land of the Aboriginals, Kreion, sitting in front of the Ririm transmitter, happily agreed.

“The close alliance between the Chimeraz and the Ririm will complement the weaknesses of the two races and make the best of their strengths.”

“I am delighted. We will share intelligence with the Chimeraz and arrange for a continuous exchange of individuals. In addition, the mutual defense of our two races will strengthen the security of both. If you need more complex cooperation in the future, please feel free to tell us through the Mind Repeater. We intend to review any proposal from the Chimeraz positively.”

Thus, the Chimeraz and the Ririm formed an alliance. If the Chimeraz went to war with a certain race, the Ririm would join the war, and vice versa, if the Ririm went to war with a certain race, the Chimeraz would join the war.

In addition, now that they were allies, there was no need for leaders to meet each other when other transactions or agreements were needed. Any leader of the Chimeraz could freely cooperate with members of the Ririm.

“By the way, Transmitter, have you heard that the Chimeraz are in a truce with humans?”

“I heard it through the Aooa. But that’s not a problem. If the truce breaks down and a war breaks out, we will help the Chimeraz.”

“Is that okay?”

“Such a war would be nothing more than a very short-term phenomenon in the temporal sense of our consciousness. At the time of the Crolr, there was no means to counter the rapid destructive power of such a force, but if the Chimeraz became our allies, there would be no problem.”

Thus, the news that the Chimeraz and the Ririm had formed an alliance became widely known.

Some races regarded the alliance of the Chimeraz and the Ririm as a rising star, while others expressed concern that it could be an unstoppable cosmic disaster.

February 9, 2621.

Having built a powerful semi ring with a bio-planet and a large fleet of the Chimeraz, Nazar entered the Canis Major dwarf galaxy.

Located perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way, the Canis Minor Dwarf Galaxy has only about a billion stars and is the satellite galaxy closest to the Milky Way, an area with a high proportion of red giants.

Nazar continued to move, looking for signs of intelligent life.

‘Would humans be interested in the Canis Minor Dwarf Galaxy? The Milky Way’s resources and energy are so abundant that there is no point in competing.’

Nazar was ordered to expand and update the collective consciousness map by visiting each galaxy in the Local Group of Galaxies. It was to record in detail which celestial bodies were in which coordinates and which forces were present.

In addition, if they encountered beings with consciousness as intelligent beings, they were to absorb them if they were a group that had not entered the space age, and establish simple diplomatic relations if they were a group that had already entered the space age.

‘According to information from humans, there are three known races in the Canis Minor Dwarf Galaxy.’

‘However, they said that their level of civilization was so poor that they did not establish diplomatic relations with humans. In other words, the Canis Minor Dwarf Galaxy is an isolated outlier from the diplomacy of the Local Group.’

In the Canis Minor Dwarf Galaxy, a three-way war between the three known races continued. And their three-way war was not even worthy of being called a war.

It is said that the three races in this galaxy did not know how to conduct politics or diplomacy with other races, and it seemed that they would think of the concept of war as a simple fight.

‘I will deploy a colony in an appropriate location. . . Later, after examining the three races, I will swallow them whole if they seem weak. Then this galaxy will belong to the Chimeraz.’

Nazar, who analyzed celestial bodies with his excellent eyes, found a star system suitable for deploying the first colony.

It was a triple star system where three young stars were entangled in each other’s gravity, forming a complex orbit.

‘Seventeen planets. Two of them are gas planets. There are even two asteroid belts rich in heavy elements.’

The planets are all barren and lack a magnetic field. So they are fully exposed to the high-energy particles emitted from the triple star system.

Therefore, it is an area that is too terrible for living things to inhabit and too unstable for electronic devices to operate.

However, for the Chimeraz, such an environment is no problem at all.

‘There are abundant and diverse resources, but there is no owner.’

They are planets whose atmospheres have been blown away by the powerful high-energy particles of the triple star system. Nazar pointed out one of the largest planets among them.

‘Deploy a colony there. Have bio-planets and half of the swarm stay here.’

It was a burden to consume the energy needed to move the bio-planet. Although bio-planets have nuclear fusion tissue, bio-planets basically consume more energy than they gain from within, so they can’t wander around indefinitely without recharging.

So, for the time being, the bio-planet will have to stop here, establish a colony, and lay a stable foundation.

‘Make this triple star system our territory.’

The satellite-sized bio-planet entered the geostationary orbit of the planet Nazar had designated and became a moon.

And half of the swarm began to exchange materials between the bio-planet and the candidate planet for the colony site.

After Xenotera poured onto the flat land, which had no life force, strange structures of the Chimeraz grew and emitted hot gas. Then, in the direction where the inner core of the planet was located, giant tentacles were inserted to inject heavy material.

‘The remaining half of the swarm continues to scout.’

Nazar used the triple star system, where he had established a colony, as a base to scout the surrounding area.

Large and small stars twinkled in the distance, and many of them were red giants.

Even though it was an extremely small galaxy compared to the Milky Way, the universe was still vast. Three races were fighting in this galaxy, but no trace of them could be found, and not even unnatural radio signals were caught by the Chimeraz fleet formation.

‘At least one radio wave should be caught, so we’ll know in which direction they are.’

‘We must go to a place with a lot of intersections of matter and signals. Accelerate towards the center of the galaxy.’

The center of the galaxy where stars are densely packed and shine brightly.

Nazar’s swarm stretched its long tentacles to the rear, warping the surrounding space even more strongly.

Except for the starlight of the target stars in front of them, the starlight around them twisted and curved like an earthworm squirming closer and farther away.

As they headed towards the center of the Canis Minor Dwarf Galaxy, Nazar sensed the distortion of space caused by a certain celestial body.

‘Decelerate.’

The starlight that had been twisted in the surrounding field of view gradually returned to its normal shape.

However, at some point in the starlight that had regained its original shape, there was a roundly curved area.

As if someone had drilled a deep hole in the background of the universe, embroidered with stars, the deep, empty circle was sucking in the surrounding starlight like a funnel.

‘. . .Just once. . .’

Nazar was the leader with the strongest curiosity.

‘. . .I’d like to see it directly, a little closer, just once.’

The most dangerous celestial body in this universe.

The most powerful celestial body in this universe.

The most curious celestial body in this universe.

‘Approach the black hole slowly. Very slowly. . .’

As they approached, the pitch-black hole grew larger and larger.

It is a hole with nothing but black. you really can’t see anything but that. It looked like a flat celestial body.

‘. . .Black hole. . .’

Nazar is so curious. So much so that even the pounding of his heart, trembling with fear, feels like excitement.

‘If the Chimeraz enter a black hole. . . How far can the waves escape?’

‘If the Chimeraz enter there and send waves in the direction where I am. . . Will I be able to receive those waves after dozens of years?’

Nazar sent one Cresecter toward the black hole. And the Cresecter, which was connected to Nazar by waves, shared all its senses, including its field of vision.

The black color grew bigger and bigger. Starlight was pushed out in a circle and kicked out of the field of view, and when he looked back, he couldn’t see anything.

Then everything turned black. It was pitch black.

‘. . .’

The waves were cut off. Or, it felt like it was cut off because of the extreme delay in the connection of the waves.

So he can’t find out anything for now.

Nazar lost interest.

‘. . .Let’s go back.’

That was then.

➖Who dares. . . In the sacred pit. . .

He thought it was an auditory hallucination.

However, the voice translated into human language was clearly heard. Even in waves that only the Chimeraz could write and only the Chimeraz could understand.

Nazar’s pupils dilated greatly.

‘Who are you? Are you inside?’

➖. . .Organism.

There’s something in the pitch-black.

➖The element composition that is difficult to encounter in this galaxy. Where. . . Did you come from. . .?

This is the moment when the concept of waves that Nazar had known so far is broken. They send waves and respond with waves. What on earth are they using our waves and speaking in human language that we can understand?

It gave Nazar an impulsive curiosity that he had never experienced before. It was an irresistible curiosity.

‘We are the Chimeraz. We came from the Milky Way.’

➖Milky Way. . . Somehow the element composition. . . Are you human. . .?

‘The Chimeraz. We are a completely different race from humans.’

➖. . .! . . .!

‘What are you? Since we’ve revealed our identity, you should reveal yours as well.’

➖We are the ‘Believers’ who protect the sacred pit.

‘Sacred pit? Are you talking about a black hole?’

➖The sacred pit is a sacred pit. Which rude race. . . Entered the sanctuary. . . But I’ve never heard of a race. . . If it was because of ignorance, I will forgive you.

‘How can you be inside a black hole? And how did you imitate our waves and why are you speaking human language? Surely you’re not beyond the event horizon? Are you a kind of human?’

➖You are a. . . very curious race.

‘I want to know about you.’

Nazar is curious about the beings inside the black hole, or rather, those who seem to be just barely beyond the event horizon.

They must be amazing beings. They might be the most outstanding beings in the Local Group of Galaxies. They are clearly those who wield technology that is closer to magic than science.

‘I want to talk to you.’

➖Even if you are curious. . . It is. . . intolerable to enter the sacred pit. . .

‘I understand. We made a mistake.’

➖Communication. . . is possible.

➖If you want to know about our believers. . . We are willing to tell you about our beliefs. Teaching is also the duty of believers. . .

Nazar continued the conversation prudently.

‘I want to know about you. Anything is fine.’

➖We are orbiting. . . inside the sacred pit at a speed of 28.7% of the speed of light.

‘Orbiting. . .?’

➖If you. . . Come in to see us, you will be torn apart. We. . . will send out believers. . . Wait. . .

After a while, something appeared in front of the head of the Euryale that Nazar was on board.

It is an egg-shaped spaceship the size of an ordinary spaceship. It just ‘suddenly’ appeared.

➖Until now, there have been many rude guys who sent machines into the sacred pit out of curiosity.

➖But today is the first time that a ‘living’ being has entered the sanctuary in person.

➖The will to know more than life. Strong and pure curiosity.

➖Your body is mortal, but your spirit is immortal.

➖You are like us. You just don’t have faith because you are still ignorant. . .

They were those who served beings that could neither be proven nor guessed.
