Some jumped into the Quark Decomposer.
Some drove their spacecraft into the sun.
Others held high-explosive bombs, bid farewell to their families in the quantum network, and then detonated them with a loud boom.
…
The first stage was named “Farewell” by Sergey.
The second stage was “Choice.”
To make up for the loss of military strength from the massive betrayal of Galaxy Warriors, the young Sergey, who was just starting out, leaped through several academic levels and co-founded the Gene Rapid Breakthrough Plan with Willian.
The essence of the breakthrough plan was slightly different from that of the Armored War God and the Demon War. It only incorporated some of the Z Bacteria left behind by Harrison Clark and the system of Gene-Modified Warriors, supplemented with knowledge derived from biological giants like Willian, focusing more on human potential rather than turning into other species.
It took only three days to complete the breakthrough plan, and about 20 million people underwent transformation in various space stations, with 4 million surviving.
The awakeness of these 4 million survivors quickly exceeded 35%. They donned the new Galaxy Battle Armor with improved algorithms by Sergey and dashed to the battlefield.
The third stage was “Standstill.”
In this stage, the war between humans and ZS Bacteria spread from space to the ground.
Humans briefly took back Earth, but due to the need for high-level protection measures on Earth, movement became extremely inconvenient, and humans left Earth once again.
During the confrontation, although the ZS Humans had weaker production capabilities than humans in the early stage, their main combat units were only ZS Humans who were former Galaxy Warriors and a massive number of mutated animals.
However, the astonishing reproductive ability of mutated animals made up for the military disadvantage of ZS Humans in the early stage. All planets in the Solar System were potential sources of troops.
These vast and difficult-to-eradicate troops compensated for the initial weakness of the ZS Humans.
Battles that took place in space stations and battleships drastically reduced human military strength.
Although humans responded quickly, the infiltration activities of ZS Humans clustered in groups, leading to one-third of the human population becoming infected and up to two-fifths of the fleet betraying humanity altogether.
All major space stations were severely affected.
Humans managed to take back control of about two-thirds of the space stations, while one-sixth of the space stations were destroyed, and the remaining one-sixth saw the remaining ZS Humans completely defect after the humans were eradicated.
Additionally, billions of small flying vehicles took off privately, wreaking havoc in space stations before disappearing.
All these incidents allowed the ZS Humans to pass through the initial stage smoothly.
From then on, the war entered the fourth stage, “Helplessness.”
With the rapid reproduction and evolution of ZS Bacteria’s mutated animals, biological spaceships based on giant mutated marine animals emerged.
Some large birds and stitched mutated animals grew into various ZS Humans’ individual equipment and combined war machines.
Harrison Clark’s much-desired planting battleship technology seemed to be innate to ZS Bacteria, which only needed a few years of precipitation and the digestion and absorption of human achievements.
Since then, humanity’s space advantage has vanished instantly.
During this stage of confrontation, humans felt a deep sense of helplessness.
No matter how tirelessly humans fought, they could not match the regenerative abilities of ZS Bacteria.
No matter how Sergey and others quickly improved equipment, ZS Bacteria’s troops, after a brief period of confusion, would always stabilize the situation and, in turn, absorb human technology.
ZS Humans also showed a high level of skill in tactics and strategy.
In direct battles, ZS Human fleets could compete with human forces controlled by the star-controlling devices in terms of precise manipulation.
In small-scale battles, ZS Humans came up with various tricks and were all fearless of death, exhibiting a distinctive hand-to-hand combat style.
As the war deepened, Willian and Sergey tirelessly continued their research on another battlefield.
Back then, the division of labor between Willian and Sergey was very clear.
Sergey was responsible for improving the performance of human war weapons, while Willian was tasked with developing vaccines and potential cures for the infection, as well as various injections to quickly heal and improve abilities on the battlefield.Willian’s workload was enormous and difficult. The last two tasks were bearable, despite the hardships, as he could see progress from time to time.
It was the first two tasks that tormented both his body and spirit.
That feeling of gaining nothing no matter how hard he tried was excruciating.
When Willian was most desperate, he met privately with Sergey, sobbing with his head in his hands. He cried and roared at the same time.
“Why can such creatures exist in the universe? Why? It’s not fair! Why do we have to fight against enemies who can create such creatures? We’re not even able to cause them the slightest harm. The gap between us and them is countless times larger than that between ants and elephants. Why?!”
With his eyes filled with tears, Willian kept asking while holding Sergey’s shoulders.
Sergey thought for a long time, “Probably, it’s because we are humans. The great thinker Harrison Clark must have contemplated this issue too. But I think he was never lost. He just accepted this fate, and then, step by step, he tried to move forward, that’s all.”
In 2589, the highest scientific research space station of humanity crashed in the central part of the Australian plain.
Humanity perished, the ZS bacteria dispersed like fireworks in space, and the Solar Dome disappeared.
The history of the Solar System Human Civilization in the ninth timeline came to an abrupt end here.
Harrison Clark silently closed the book.
He slapped himself hard.
There was a chance for humanity to avoid tragedy this time, but many wrong decisions were made.
Harrison knew where they went wrong.
Ultimately, it was all his fault.
He thought he had been mentally prepared, ready to bear the responsibility for creating the end times of the Solar System.
Yet, the feelings of regret, the sense of loss, and the guilt were impossible to dismiss.
He gazed at the ceiling of the reading room and muttered to himself.
“I’m sorry, everyone. I’ll do better next time. I promise.”
Above the ceiling, it seemed like the spirits of those who died in the 26th century were still floating, silently watching him and waiting for him in another timeline.
Of course, there might not be a next time.
So many people have left, and countless colonies have been established in the Orion Arm.
Thus, Harrison believed that there was a certain chance for humanity to win.
That’s what he hoped for, too.
Yet he still needed to observe and make decisions.
Reason tells him he should strive for every chance, even if it’s one in a billion.
But in doing so, the timeline might end, and the direct descendants of the disappeared Solar System civilization might never return.
That might very likely include the mother of his child.
He was anxious about this.
But he couldn’t forsake one group of people for another.
Harrison missed the mother of his child dearly and didn’t want to let her go.
But he also knew that if she found out he had given up a free universe for her sake,
With her character, she would never forgive me, right?
After all, she was the one most willing to sacrifice herself.
So, Harrison told himself, “I’ll still strive for every possibility, but I will also face failure with acceptance.”
