Facing the Apocalypse with My Other Selves-Chapter 104 - 88: New World

After learning of the existence of an Interstellar Civilization, someone had long suggested intercepting the Meteorite or even the asteroid beyond Earth.

However, that asteroid was simply too mysterious.

No one could predict what might happen.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yu quietly relied on the Association’s power to make a prediction.

And why would it be this kind of answer?

"Advisor Shen, you can’t go in person!" someone immediately said in the meeting, "It’s truly somewhat threatening, even if the prophecy says nothing will happen, but if there truly is an unimaginable enemy behind this asteroid, merely their attention to you could have significant impacts on the future."

Yes, Shen Yu is the hope of all humanity.

The more mysterious the enemy, the greater Shen Yu’s importance.

At the very least, preliminary exploration absolutely cannot be done by Shen Yu,

Shen Yu was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

With spaceships available, traveling there is easy, there’s no need to go personally on the first exploration, better to observe the situation first.

The decision was quickly finalized.

Eight people were selected worldwide, from various countries, all of whom are elite with strong character, ready to sacrifice themselves for civilization at any time.

Upon learning of the mission, they hesitated not a moment.

These meteorite monsters had already caused too many casualties.

Even if they could only gather a bit of insignificant information, it would be enough to be remembered by all mankind.

The spaceship quickly departed, silently, without publicity.

This was a small exploration ship, although small, it still had no problem exploring a designated orbit.

It had barely set foot in space when awe-inspiring news arrived.

"A new meteorite has been discovered, it’s basically confirmed to be from Alpha Planet."

Alpha Planet was the nickname for that asteroid, symbolizing mystery and the unknown.

And now, a new small meteorite has been discovered?

It needs to be known, prior to this, Human Civilization actually had few means of detecting such ultra-small meteorites.

After all, about forty-four tons of meteorite material enters the atmosphere every day, with the majority burning up from friction with the atmosphere, yet even so, about forty-six meteorites reach the surface.

Yes, this is the daily number!

Fully vetting all of them is exceedingly difficult, let alone identifying how many originate from Alpha Planet.

However, the astronauts on the mission quickly responded.

"It was the orbit, which differs slightly from other orbits affected by gravity, that’s why it was marked."

"Then let’s test it," the others promptly suggested, "this is a good opportunity to see if we can intercept this small meteorite, it’s safer than going directly to Alpha Planet."

This suggestion was rapidly approved.

At this speed, it would take at most five days for this new meteorite to reach the Human Mother Star.

First trying to intercept it was undoubtedly a better choice.

The spaceship quickly accelerated.

The flying speed of this small meteorite was not fast, so the spaceship could easily catch up.

Even maintaining a relatively stationary position during the flight.

This allowed everyone on the ground to finally see the meteorite before it entered the Mother Star.

The result was shocking to all.

Not because of its appearance, but because of its size!

It was roughly the size of a basketball.

"The meteorites that land on the surface are about this size too," someone said with a dry tone.

No need for them to say it, everyone present, including Shen Yu, had seen the photos.

The Eye Worm, the Worm, and the Zombie Meteorites were now kept in some securely guarded laboratories!

What does this mean?

This means, this kind of meteorite virtually didn’t burn upon entering the atmosphere!

"Launch a probing attack!" The person in charge took a deep breath and did give the order.

This was undoubtedly a highly adventurous act, but these astronauts didn’t hesitate at all.

They weren’t professional astronauts, but they were all professional soldiers!

A quiet command was issued, and an antimatter beam accurately hit this small meteorite!

Even the exploration ship had considerable offensive capabilities!

However, nothing happened.

Literally nothing happened.

The antimatter beam passed right through it.

"Laser cannon, electromagnetic cannon, plasma beam..." All kinds of weapons on the ship were tried, none effective.

The command center on the ground was silent.

The astronauts in the sky were also silent.

They actually hoped the attack would work, even if the result was their own sacrifice!

But reality is as it is.

"Is it a phantom?" someone muttered.

"A phantom with such detailed parameters?" someone pointed at the screen, "Shape, mass, flight trajectory, all parameters are here, even gravity parameters. How were these detected if it’s a phantom?"

"..." No one could provide an answer.

At this moment, the team leader of this space mission unexpectedly spoke in the channel: "We request collision interception! This is a unanimous decision by all members!"

Collision interception!

Since none of the weapon attacks, whether tangible or energy, had any effect.

Just ram it with the spaceship directly!

If it still passes silently, they’ll at least be able to gather more information in that instant.

If a collision truly occurs, it could provide a new path for Human Civilization!

No one dared to give this order directly, eventually, many gazes gradually settled on Shen Yu.

"Go ahead," Shen Yu said calmly, "The content given by the Association’s prophecy card shows nothing has changed. If any change occurs, I promise to resurrect you, even if it’s not possible now, it will be in the future!"

"Yes!" The unanimous voice echoed in the channel.

They were indifferent to resurrection, but they were grateful that Shen Yu gave them the chance to try.

The next moment, the spaceship charged straight toward the meteorite!

The size of such a meteorite wouldn’t even trigger any alarm on the spaceship, under normal circumstances the Shield couldn’t be penetrated.

However, at the moment of contact.

The meteorite silently passed through the Shield, through the armor, into the spaceship’s interior, even traversing the body of a human astronaut already on its path, passing right through.

Then, nothing happened.

The scene fell into silence once more.

Everyone was astounded watching the big screen playback again and again, allowing them to clearly see this extremely eerie scene.

The absurdity and dread of this moment were indescribable.

What exactly was this thing, flying relentlessly toward their planet?

Long afterward, Shen Yu’s voice finally came through everyone’s ears again.

"Thank you all for your courage, but there’s no need to be disheartened, this was the outcome we anticipated," Shen Yu looked around, his tone calm, "Here, I give you a phrase inscribed on the Association’s wall — We should revere the heavens because within them lies endless possibilities, but we should not fear them, for the greatness of humanity lies in its courage to explore infinite possibilities!"

Yes, whether it was the previous monsters or other worlds, reality had already seen too many things happen that were impossible in the past.

Now, this was just another one.

This wasn’t enough to defeat humanity.

Just as Shen Yu prepared to say more, suddenly, his expression froze, then he revealed a hint of irrepressible joy.

Not because of the current situation, but because he sensed it.

A new Shen Yu had arrived in the Gray Mist Space at this very moment!

This meant a New World!
