The year 284 of the Norton 3K era is a memorable day in human history. It marks the beginning of Endless War and the only time in human history that humanity has truly demonstrated that this species can unite and stand together against a common enemy.
In this grand, Endless War, they will demonstrate that humanity is not merely capable of betrayal, oppression, and exploitation, but can also possess unwavering faith and boundless holiness!
In Norton 3284, one after another, requests for assistance from the front lines, along with various images and even live broadcasts, were transmitted to the rear through the already established Subspace fiber optic channels, with the wording becoming increasingly urgent.
"Buzz buzz buzz... January 1st, Norton 3284, I am Susan, a Church knight. Today is New Year's Day, my fellow countrymen, Happy New Year."
I don't know if I'll have the chance to witness another New Year, but I certainly won't be able to attend this year's grand Mass. Pale God, forgive my sins; Your servants are not impious, but are defending Your eternal holiness with their lives! Long live Pale God!
This is the Adam Three frontline. The situation on the front lines is urgent. The mutated life forms seem endless. Humanity has completely retreated to the outer space. All planets in the Adam Three Star System have undergone fundamental mutation. Please note, this is not the mutation of objects on the surface, but the complete mutation of the entire planet.
Please have the rear support prepare reinforcements as soon as possible. Our troops have already suffered 30% losses and are on the verge of collapse.
Along with this news came images of humanity's current battles in outer space.
In the video, all the planets in the Adam Three Star System appear to have been completely distorted, evolving into fleshy creatures similar to the distorted star. Numerous fleshy tentacles emanate from the surrounding area, waving and twisting in space, sweeping away spaceships flying nearby. At the same time, countless tiny monsters, resembling seeds, are constantly bursting out from each tentacle to travel through space and attack warships.
In the vast expanse of space, countless warships unleash their firepower. By zooming in on the video, one can vaguely see that the outer decks of these flying, frantically firing warships are covered with grotesque, mutated life forms.
These mutated life forms frantically attacked the warship's hull, and even the warship's fully automatic defensive firepower was insufficient to eliminate them due to their sheer number. The only option was to dispatch Church knights in power armor from inside the warship to assist in the cleanup operation on the deck.
In the vast expanse of space, countless warships swarm like locusts. Every moment, one can see warships covered in mutated life forms, their bodies bloated, exploding and falling to the ground. In the next instant, a new warship will fill its place, engaging in a desperate struggle.
Those bizarre life forms seemed endless, flung out from those distorted planets by tentacles.
However, this was just the beginning. With the arrival of the first distress call, a second call followed just one month later.
"Buzz... buzz... Today is February 11th, Norton 3284. I am Susan, a Church knight."
Please prepare support quickly from the rear. Unexpected fluctuations have occurred in the situation at the front. We may be making a huge mistake, and this mistake could cost us our lives.
We have lost 35% of our troops and have begun to contract our defensive lines. However, the reason for contracting our defensive lines is not because of the loss of troops, but because of the misconception I just mentioned—that there is matter in the universe.
Dark matter, something we have not yet been able to observe or truly prove, has now truly appeared before us, but it has appeared on its own initiative.
Or perhaps, the dark matter that permeates the universe can also Soul Infestation!
Damn it, you have no idea what this means. It means that the vacuum of space can generate a large number of mutated life forms out of thin air, and our fleet formation has been severely damaged and destroyed...
The only good news is that the evolution of these life forms seems directionless; very few can survive in a vacuum, yet their overall scale is enormous...
Along with this news, the accompanying video footage caused a huge stir online.
In the vast vacuum, the countless massive warships, no longer roaming freely through space and forming battle lines as they had a month ago, have now shrunk together, forming a circle that resembles multiple nested circles.
Compared to a month ago, the number of aberrant life forms in space has increased far too much. The galaxy used to feel empty, but now, almost everywhere you look, there are swarms of aberrant life forms, like locusts, covering the sky and wandering freely throughout the galaxy.
The ships at the outermost edge of the encirclement will hardly last long before being completely destroyed, after which this layer of ships will become the new outer layer to resist these waves of life.
However, the inner layer was equally difficult. These monstrous creatures, just as the information had described, suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the gaps between the fleets. A large number of mutated life forms twisted in the void and launched attacks on the surrounding ships. Among them, countless strange life forms twisting in the void seemed unable to adapt to the vacuum environment and died in a frantic struggle.
Some are even born as embryos and die before they can hatch.
But even the tiny fraction that survived were like a swarm of locusts that swept across the land!
These things seem to be real life, still following the fundamental logic of life...
This means that regardless of the number of concentric circles, all circles must simultaneously face enemies from four directions, but this is already the best solution!
The self-destruction of Church knights or spaceships is commonplace; people die all the time, yet their souls are added to the corruption, transforming into mutated life forms that re-infect the world.
Of course, this is merely the truth; in the Church's words, these souls have long since returned to the Pale Throne.
It took a full six months for the communications department to receive a new notification after such devastating news had been relayed.
"Buzz... buzz buzz buzz... September 28, Norton 3284. Liaison Susan has returned to the Pale Throne. I am the new liaison, Norma. Here is an urgent message."
Since dark matter was proven to be susceptible to Soul Infestation, the Adam Three galaxy has undergone complete flesh-and-blood distortion. The entire Adam Three Star System, including its stars, planets, and even the dark matter that fills it, is now completely distorted and warped, its flesh and blood fused together, evolving into a massive distorted life form within the entire galactic system.
The fleet suffered losses of up to 50%, with 1.8523 trillion personnel currently surviving. The entire fleet system has collapsed, and it has withdrawn from the Adam Three Star System region in accordance with the orders of His Holiness Pope Abraham.
His Majesty Abraham has done everything in his power to suppress this Star System-Level Aberration, temporarily preventing it from invading humanity. However, the number of tiny aberrant life forms continues to surge, and the Soul Infestation is already spreading towards the Adam Two Star System...
Please provide immediate support. We must prevent the next Star System Aberration from occurring; we do not have a second Sixth Stage!
If a second Star System Aberration occurs, humanity's defenses will completely collapse!
