Xiao Yu knew that after that Continent-Class spaceship rammed and destroyed the Pegasus Civilization’s planetary shield, the entire capital planet of the Pegasus Civilization fell into chaos.

On this planet lived a populace counted in the tens of billions. Clearly, the earlier spectacle had been observed by them. They understood the current state of the war. The last bit of hope in their hearts also shattered. The leader they had always trusted and admired had failed to block the invasion of the ferocious alien civilization.

Defeat in war meant death, or being captured and turned into slaves to be bought and sold as goods on the intelligent beings trading market. This ending was little better than death.

The entire planet sank into total chaos. The most basic order that sustained a society’s operation was like that red planetary shield that had vanished, smashed in one blow by a Continent-Class spaceship. The brutal, bloodthirsty nature hidden deep within intelligent beings began to reveal itself. Throughout the city were mobs wielding all kinds of weapons, and everywhere were flames, explosions, and cries.

This city was relatively close to the sea, and unfortunately, the wreckage of that Continent-Class spaceship, after loss of mass during the impact and friction with the planet’s atmosphere, ultimately fell. The place where it fell happened to be the ocean beside this city.

An object of more than ten billion tons falling from space into the sea was powerful enough to trigger a massive tsunami. In at most another hour, the surging waves would arrive here and sweep away this city, including every living being in it, every building, every entanglement of life and death, and every sorrow and joy, clearing them away as if sweeping trash.

This was the final frenzy. Society after the collapse of order was hell. Once intelligent beings lost the restraints of order, they would erupt with a bloodthirsty cruelty more savage than beasts. Shops were robbed and set ablaze. Those once high and mighty figures were cruelly tortured to death by the mobs. Proud, aloof, and beautiful women no longer enjoyed the throngs of suitors who once surrounded them. In fact, only now did intelligent beings discover that no matter how proud or noble they were in life, in death their corpses had nothing outstanding about them. They looked just as disgusting and twisted.

Even armed forces equipped with advanced weapons joined the riots, and countless evils sprang up in this city. But it did not matter. No matter how many evils there were, they would be washed clean when the flood arrived in an hour.

The people of the Pegasus Civilization were already prepared to meet death. It was precisely because they had long been prepared that they were now so crazed.

So when they saw beings of the Divine Ark Civilization wearing clothes completely at odds with their civilization’s aesthetics, as well as robots of even stranger appearance, rushing into the city, they instead quieted down. There was resistance, but very weak. Those who resisted were immediately counterattacked and shot dead. Most people chose to wait, to wait and accept their unknown fate.

Contrary to their expectations, these alien invaders did not pay them the slightest heed. Even when the distance between them and these warriors was only a few paces, and the ferocious warriors could take their lives with a mere twitch of a finger, these alien invaders still did not kill them.

A trace of doubt appeared in the minds of the populace. They looked at one another, somewhat confused, watching these aliens who advanced all the way without stopping at all.

“We must collect all valuable data from the research institute before the tsunami arrives.” Xiao Yu muttered, manipulating the landing-type robots to quicken their pace once more. Some robots even began using the flight equipment mounted on their bodies to take off directly, flying over layer after layer of obstacles to speed forward. At the same time, he issued the order to the special operations troops to advance at full speed.

The scene of the city before him left Xiao Yu secretly shocked. Xiao Yu had never imagined that high-level civilization beings who had received a complete civilized education could erupt with such immense destructive power at such a time. At this moment, the city no longer resembled a city at all. Calling it hell would be more accurate.

“I wonder what the situation on Earth was like on the eve of its destruction.” The scene before his eyes stirred somewhat distant memories in Xiao Yu’s heart.

“When Earth was about to be destroyed, the signs were already obvious enough. Even without my advanced scientific thinking and instruments ahead of their time, the other scientific workers should have been able to perceive the truth. This could not be concealed, especially in the last few hours. Violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions would damage the planet’s entire ecological environment. The sky would be full of dust, and even daytime would be pitch black. The smell of sulfur would be everywhere. Sinkholes, ground collapses, gales, sudden downpours, thunder, and lightning would spread across the whole planet. That was a scene straight out of hell. I imagine Earth’s order would have collapsed, and Earth would have looked like this place…” Xiao Yu recalled and let out a light sigh.

Xiao Yu had once given a warning, but it had no effect. This sounded somewhat unbelievable, yet it was the truth, because every scientist refuted Xiao Yu. When a scientist proposed a conclusion, there had to be corresponding evidence to support it. Xiao Yu had naturally produced his evidence, which was hundreds of pages of densely packed mathematical calculations and observed signs. Unfortunately, the mathematical methods Xiao Yu used and the physical formulas employed in the calculations were all summarized by Xiao Yu himself in the course of his research and had never been made public. So those hundreds of pages of calculations looked like a madman’s ravings to the other scientists. On top of that, Xiao Yu had always had poor relations with others and had offended nearly every famous scientist in the world, which ultimately led to this outcome.

“Ah.” With a slight sigh, Xiao Yu drew his thoughts back from the distant past and refocused on the present task. Based on previous observations, Xiao Yu had determined that a quite important research institute was located in this coastal city. There would certainly be a great deal of scientific data inside. For Xiao Yu, these things were an irresistible honeyed lure. Naturally, Xiao Yu could not tolerate their being destroyed by the tsunami.

“My actions have already been swift enough, and the situation is so chaotic right now. I believe those researchers have not yet had time to completely destroy the data. Mm, as long as I can obtain data at 80 percent completeness, that will be enough. I can use deduction and research to perfect the remaining 20 percent myself.”

Xiao Yu had long considered the possibility that the Pegasus Civilization would delete and destroy their scientific data, and he had already devised a countermeasure. That was to act quickly, so quickly that the researchers would not have time to completely erase the data.

In just over ten minutes, the special operations troops and the landing-type robots charged up to the research institute. The institute’s defensive mechanisms were easily destroyed. After casually killing a few researchers who dared to resist, Xiao Yu’s forces rushed into the institute.

Through this period of contact, Xiao Yu already had a considerable understanding of the Pegasus Civilization’s social culture and technical details. Now, Xiao Yu could easily tell which machine did what, which machine handled experiments, and which machine handled data storage. Xiao Yu could see all this at a glance.

Under these circumstances, the special operations troops and the landing-type robots had clear targets. The moment they rushed into the institute, the special operations troops ran straight toward the machine that was obviously a data storage device. At that moment, a researcher stood before the machine, operating something nervously.

“He should be destroying data.” Xiao Yu quickly reached this conclusion. The landing combat robot beside him then immediately activated its weapon and in an instant killed the researcher. After tossing his corpse aside like trash, Xiao Yu’s forces rapidly moved before the device and began data collection.

The institute was large, but the number of special operations troops and landing-type robots was also sufficient. The entire data collection operation was completed in roughly forty minutes. During this time, Xiao Yu’s forces also infiltrated other targets in the city, such as the government network and the financial and municipal networks, comprehensively and meticulously collecting all information concerning the Pegasus Civilization.

All tasks had been completed. At this moment, the city no longer held any value for Xiao Yu. The special operations troops and the landing combat robots began to withdraw. Countless plumes of flame jetted from the flight devices mounted on their bodies, and they quickly reached the sky, setting off for the next target.

Beneath their feet, in this city, the flower of sin continued to spread. As if sensing the calamity that was about to arrive, the populace of the Pegasus Civilization became even more manic. Many things even exceeded the limits of Xiao Yu’s imagination, making Xiao Yu feel that when intelligent beings went mad, they could actually reach such an extent.

But none of this had anything to do with Xiao Yu anymore. Sin would ultimately be washed away. Roughly a dozen minutes after all the special operations troops and landing combat robots had evacuated, a towering flood reached this city. At extremely high speed it leveled all structures protruding from the ground and buried them. Buried along with them were tens of millions of intelligent beings and those sins that exceeded Xiao Yu’s imagination.
