Vol 9 Chapter 91: Purpose

"They've shattered countless worlds."
Giant nebulae are known in their records as 'world smashers' because they keep shredding everything that comes close.
In the shadow of the void, many creatures on the landmass are just struggling to survive, but some creatures successfully control their landmass and grow.
And these developed creatures will almost all take the same path - transforming the land they live on into a mobile state, or making large aircraft or something, in short, they must have the ability to move in the shadow of the void.
As these creatures begin to move, they encounter many things in the shadows of the void, one of which is this gaseous tumbler.
According to the records of the 'metal ball', these giant nebulae have controlled the gaseous tumbler to shred a considerable amount of land mass, which are basically things that are sufficiently powerful civilizations to ride.
In addition to land masses, they also shredded many other things. The largest thing in the record is a tumbler with a diameter of 30,000 kilometers.
Of course, this is only the record of the metal ball. It is unknown how many worlds it has ripped apart in the long years.
The metal ball doesn't know where the things that this gaseous tumbler encountered came from. The torn land masses are obviously things in the shadow of the void, but there are also some things that are not in the shadow of the void.
Judging by the metal ball itself, the giant nebula has been destroying various things to obtain their data.
Each time a land mass is destroyed, these giant nebulae 'weave' a new building, the kind that looks like lightning, and seems to be a record of what was destroyed.
The metal ball speculates that the giant nebula will obtain all the information of the target by destroying the target, and various information such as civilization technology will be recorded by them, which is why the giant nebula continues to attack other floating objects.
Lin felt that Juxingyun must have records of the target of the attack, but it is hard to say what these records are.
In short, this gaseous tumbler is a great threat to all large objects that approach it, but it does not seem to be desperate to destroy its target.
A lot of things that get close to it will be drawn directly into the storm by its gravitational pull, and that kind of thing will be shattered without any suspense, and then something that will resist or run away.
They will also attack immediately if they encounter an opponent with resistance, but if they do not destroy the opponent after a little attack... For example, Lin's train, it seems that they will be in a state of hesitation and will not continue to pursue the target.
If the opponent keeps attacking them, they will still counterattack, but if they don't move much like Rin, they will not make any movements.
According to the records of the metal ball, they have seen this situation several times. This may be because Giant Nebula thinks that the other party may be more powerful, so it does not act rashly, or there are other reasons.
The metal ball is in this position to occasionally see what's going on outside, not just the storm inside the gas tumbler.
Now that she knew a little bit, Lin decided to do some testing, which is to have the train send it a series of messages to see if it could communicate.
What Lin sent was mainly the language commonly used by all kinds of intelligent creatures in the shadow of space, and Giant Nebula didn't show any sign of it, but it didn't plan to attack. Instead, it retreated to the space wall and stuck to the wall.
Then Lin used the language of some unpredictable creatures, which was actually a signal that dream creatures could receive.
After Lin sent this kind of signal, the other party suddenly reacted, and Lin received a signal from the gas tumbler.
This is some dream energy. After testing, Lin found that it is mainly a 'image'.
In the dream energy, a scene is being played repeatedly. This scene is a large space, and there are many flying things in it.
These are some rovers, and they are relatively large, with an average of more than ten kilometers. They seem to wander aimlessly, and after wandering for a while, these rovers begin to slow down and gradually stop Activity...like dead.
Shortly after they were immobile, the rover's corpse began to disintegrate into a number of shards of varying sizes, much like those seen earlier in the shortcut.
In this image, there are rovers who appear and die, so their bodies pile up more and more, and finally become quite dense.
Their carcasses don't rot either, they split apart, but nothing changes after that, and the place becomes more and more difficult to navigate as these fragments grow.
Some of the rovers that came later were already huddling through the piles of corpses.
In the end, these crowded corpses... seem to form this space wall.
However, the image did not show how it was formed. In the image, the corpse became too dense and suddenly turned into this space wall blocking the shortcut.
If you say that, it seems to be a place like a 'Wanderer's Graveyard', where a large number of large rovers died and turned into space walls? But the rovers out there don't seem to know about it, they just use shortcuts as a grinder for those land masses.
And why the giant star cloud sent such a message to Lin is not clear, Lin continued to send some inquiries and it did not respond.
Then the gaseous tumbler slowly... merged into the space wall, and then disappeared completely.
It looks like this from the outside, but if you look out from the space where the giant nebula inside the gas tumbler is located, you can see that the surrounding strong storm scenery has changed. The original vision is only to see the inside of the gas tumbler. The storm now has views of the gaseous tumbler's surface.
Here, you can see that the airflow is violently surging like ocean waves, and many tornadoes with a size of several kilometers are constantly forming and dissipating. At the same time, Lin can see a large object in the air in the distance.
This thing is about a thousand kilometers in diameter. It also looks like a rover. Its shape is somewhat like a large disc.
It was obviously much bigger than all the rovers Lin had seen before, and the giant nebula looked like it was going to devour it with gas tumblers.
As the gaseous tumbler approached, the giant rover also tried to escape, but it didn't seem to be able to escape gravity, it could only get closer and closer... and slowly began to fragment.
