7 Blululu Part II (1/2)
”Blululu Ancient Blu?”
Hearing this, the floating creature began to turn toward a single box. It was not on the stand where the bubbles were located but far away and protected. Leilade and Drugrat didn't notice it at first because it was not in plain sight. Slowly, one of the tentacles opened it and took a black pearl. Using another of his tentacle, he grabbed a strange device and put the pearl on it. He later extended the device to the little girl.
”Blulu, blublu blululu!”
”Of course we will watch this in front of you, we are not stupid!” The red demon was clearly pissed by the fact that the archivist didn't trust them. They were both in command of thousands, even millions of troops but they will fail to hold a single object? Not caring about that, Leilade began to project all the logs and messages concerning the weapons of the Ancients.
Nearly every race that breached their atmosphere and finally walked in the stars knew about the Ancients. Whether it was discovering a ruin on their homeworld or just finding an abandoned space station still active, the presence of the smartest race was confirmed in the entire Universe. After the fall of the Ancient Triumvirate, countless new and old empires fought for their territory, their technology and most importantly their weapons.
The Orb that caused a conflict between Candaith and Leilade was a good example. Even after scavenging four of them and studying them for thousands of years, no one inside the Demonic Empire knew how it was even possible to create such a device. The only thing they discovered was its strange ability to perfectly store energy inside, without any loss and for an unlimited duration. But this was only the tip of the iceberg, just a casual energy storage created without any problem by them.
None of the people present in this room met them, but the demons encountered the Ancient before and even experienced the terrible powers that they controlled. Right now, Leilade was looking at something that could make the Lanfos run away in fear, hell, everyone in reality. Its denomination was ”The Hunger”, apparently one of the three terminal measures. To that day, the Demonic Army knew about only two of the three, the last being probably buried or destroyed.
The first measure was the deployment of a robotic army on an enemy planet. At first, only a single small robotic insect was sent in an untraceable rocket. When the insect arrived on the ground, he absorbed the mana, life, and nutrients in its entire environment. Water, air, ground or even rock, it didn't matter. After that, the robot began to turn this energy into mass, creating a clone of itself. This kept going until multiple insects turned into something bigger, always bigger. Leaving behind only some wastelands without any energy remaining, the army rampaged the planet. Three solar systems were destroyed before an answer was found. The energy weapons created by the robot were superior of the one from the Demonic Army, causing countless deaths. And even when they managed to destroy one, another robot salvaged the parts and repaired a few of its compatriot. In case of near total destruction, the robot self-exploded.
As the three of them kept reading those descriptions, they realized that if it was the weapon that the Lanfos used, that would be suicidal. If by mistake this technology was left unchecked, the entire galaxy, no, all the known galaxies would be destroyed. But not everything was bad, apparently, some parts were still recovered. Those regenerative and incredibly durable metallic pieces allowed the creation of the purple armor that Leilade was wearing. In fact, the danger detection was exactly the same that the robots had, they didn't touch it. That is the reason why it is so successful.
The second devastating weapon was more standard, but potentially more deadly. Leilade
raised her eyes to heaven after reading the name. ”The End”. She swore that she will try to find who decided of those names. But a few minutes later, she acknowledged that it was really the end for the enemy. Right now, she knew of a weapon capable of destroying a planet. If they were all in the same solar system, this weapon could even destroy all of them, only in a few days. What was created by the Ancient was incomparable.
First of all, it killed a Demon God. They never left the location where the portal that threw them in this dimension was located. At best, they roamed around, but never farther than a light-year. Comparing that distance to the entire Universe is even less than a drop of water compared to all the water on a planet. The range of The End is one-quarter of the known Universe. It is not written how they were able to deploy that thing, but the result was incredible. 359 planets or stars were destroyed in a single straight line. And the target was just the God at the end of it.
Of course, after receiving those two things, what was very predictable happened. The Demon Army didn't retaliate and just gave up all the planets in the frontier near the Ancient nation. Still, right now, they hadn't done a single thing that could alienate this race. After a hundred of years after their fall, no one really knew if they were truly dead. Because how they all disappeared so suddenly and so quickly baffled everyone. If even one of them was alive and with enough resources, resurrecting this race was not impossible. But punishing the vultures and the scavengers was a certainty.
