Chapter 392: The Silent Empire
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
-The Quiet Hunter is an old fellow among us. This maverick general once silently left the civilization with a small fleet. No one could find any traces of him, and people even thought that he had surrendered to their old opponent who liked to see.”
“But one day, this old general returned to civilization with an unimaginable amount of energy. He used a recorder that recorded his experiences during his absence to prove everything he did.
“He brought a small fleet of no more than 20 people, which could not even be considered a reconnaissance in the civilization, and destroyed a developed galaxy. He brought the energy there back to increase his achievements.” -You’re trying to buy me off with energy? Don’t you know that your actions will almost certainly be court-martialled? You’re insulting my integrity!
“-I wanted to reprimand him like that, but he really gave too much.”
“Therefore, he became one of us and conquered countless starfields together…” “However, he seems to be in some trouble recently. It’s said that he’s already submitting an application for a title change. Although we don’t pay much attention to this, it’s still an honor after all. It can’t be changed easily.”
“And what’s that changed title called… Quiet Hunter? He really wrote down everything he wanted to do on the surface…
The diary entrepreneur leisurely shuttled through the interstellar space in his car, ignoring the pursuers behind him and the cannon fire that brushed past him. It was as if he wasn’t the one fighting alone in such a dangerous place and was at risk of dying at any time.
At this moment, a small beam of light suddenly shot out from a hidden blind spot and headed straight for the key part of his car.
The eyes of the pilot, who was still writing in his diary, narrowed. He seemed to be a little surprised by this attack. He finally stopped writing in his diary and began to operate the spaceship seriously.
Then, his vehicle avoided the incoming beam of light at a completely impossible angle and attacked at the same time.
The hidden spaceship that attacked him just now also dodged his attack. Then, it fought with him. For a while, there was no winner.
This made the scribe’s blood boil. After being lazy in this galaxy for so long, this was the first time an enemy could exchange blows with him.
In the past, they would either avoid him when they met, or they would not do any maneuvering and directly attack him suicidally before being destroyed by him in boredom.
He hated the feeling of killing ants. He hoped that his prey would struggle more, or even bite him. Only then could he feel the almost extinct bloodthirsty impulse.
After being trapped here for so long, he had almost forgotten the taste of hunting.
Now that he had encountered such a person who dared to fight him, he could not bear to kill him for a moment. He wanted to play for a longer time.
Because of this, he had already begun to think about how to only defeat the other party and not destroy the spaceship. He felt that accurately attacking the other party’s spaceship’s power system might be a good idea.
Not only was this able to vividly display the disparity in strength between him and the other party, it was even a good method to humiliate the other party without killing him.
Therefore, after another round of fighting, he relied on his slightly superior technique to accurately hit the power system of the spaceship.
Seeing that the spaceship was already swaying and its speed was decreasing rapidly, and that it was about to find a planet to land on, he could not help but feel smug.
“…As expected, I’m still the strongest. Even the strongest among these people is only someone I’ve defeated…”
just as he was feeling so smug, the crumbling spaceship suddenly returned to its normal speed, as if it had not been affected at all.
Not only that, but the other party was also rushing towards his spaceship. It looked like he wanted to perish together with him.
At this moment, in order to hit the other party’s power system, his spaceship had no choice but to approach a very close position through some maneuvers. At this moment, it could no longer avoid the collision.
It was only then that he realized that the destroyed power system was not a power system at all, but a fire control system. Therefore, it was no wonder that the other party did not launch another attack but chose the primitive method of collision.
However, he found it unbelievable. He had been fighting with these guys for so long and knew the layout of their spaceship very well. It was impossible for the fire control system to be in this position.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, a communication from the other party came. He could have chosen to ignore it, but his sense of cherishing talent made him open the communication.
This was a string of insults. He knew the language of this civilization, so he could understand it.
“You f*cking alien scum! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time! Go to hell!!!”
Then, the other party’s spaceship collided with his spacecraft, and a dazzling light erupted.
The power of this explosion far exceeded the self-destruction power of ordinary spaceships. It was obvious that there was something else on this spaceship that enhanced the power of the explosion. The goal was to let him die in this explosion due to carelessness.
He finally realized that he had been deceived. The so-called matchmaking was just his wishful thinking. The other party did not hesitate to fake it to deceive and kill him, which made him extremely angry.
Why was he still alive? There was no reason. His spaceship’s performance was simply too good. It was far better than any of the other party’s most advanced spaceships. This level of explosion could not even break through the defense of the spaceship.
In the past, he did not want to use performance to crush his opponent because he felt that this kind of hunting was boring. This time, he had miscalculated.
He had to admit that if they were using the same spaceship, he would be dead by now.
“…Originally, I wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person…” His gaze suddenly turned cold. His gaze swept across the enemies who were still trying to attack him. He seemed to be a little angry from embarrassment. Then, he used an unimaginable weapon to destroy all the spaceships he saw.
A series of explosions occurred in this galaxy one after another. In the end, it returned to silence. Other than a large area of spaceship wreckage, only his spaceship was still wandering in the galaxy.
“…Will that do? There won’t be any more witnesses nearby, and the other Hunters won’t know what happened here. My legend is still continuing… He muttered to himself. Then, he took out his diary again and recorded, “XX year, XX month, XX day, 3,712 ships attacked the enemy. They were attacked…” At this point, he hesitated for a moment, then firmly wrote “The number of hits: zero.”
“…Of course. I’m the Legendary Hunter. My ship is the best hunting battleship. Of course, I can’t be attacked…”
Then, he closed the diary. At this moment, the full appearance of this diary appeared.
It turned out that this was not a diary, but a draft of his autobiography: I Am a Legend.
The nameplate beside the draft showed his identity. He was one of the top Hunters in their civilization—the Legendary Hunter.
At this moment, a communication message was sent to his spaceship. The source indicated that it was from another Hunter.
The content of the communication was also very brief. It said, “Encounter with the Silent fleet. Come quickly.”
Seeing this content, the Legendary Hunter flew into his spaceship without hesitation and disappeared from the galaxy in the blink of an eye.
Not long after, a transparent battleship that seemed to be made of pure energy slowly appeared in the galaxy.
It seemed to have been here from the beginning, but the Legendary Hunter didn’t notice it.
From the spaceship, an energy life form that seemed to have intelligence floated out. He searched the galaxy full of wreckage and finally found a piece of meat where the Legendary Hunter and another battleship had collided and exploded.
This piece of meat was still alive at this moment. It tenaciously absorbed the cosmic radiation and tried its best to grow into its original appearance.
After the energy body found the piece of meat, it returned to the spaceship and slowly disappeared with the spaceship.
If the owner of the piece of meat, the ace pilot from the Exiled, still had his original consciousness, he would definitely be shocked to see this spaceship. This was because this was a mysterious civilization that was also fighting the Hunter in the galaxy.
They didn’t communicate with the outside world and remained silent. The only thing they knew how to do was to resist the Hunter.
Due to this characteristic, they called this civilization the Silent Empire..
