"Don't come back! Don't return!"

That was the last message Tom received from Earth before the signal died. Stranded 15 billion kilometers from the sun, he has enough supplies to survive alone for fifteen years.

But Tom doesn't want to die alone. He wants to conquer.
Desperate, Tom activates the ship’s biological livestock tank. He doesn't breed cattle; he clones himself. When the clone opens its eyes, Tom realizes he hasn't just created a helper, He has unlocked a Hive Mind.

One consciousness. Multiple bodies. Parallel processing.
More clone, more processing power

But power has a price. With twelve clones now awake, his fifteen-year food supply has shrunk to a death sentence: One year.
Forced into a corner, Tom must lead his clone army to the frozen, airless surface of Loshen Star. Armed only with 19th-century steam technology and sheer grit, he must ignite the fires of industry in absolute zero.

He is no longer just an astronaut. He is the Swarm. And he will turn this dead planet into a civilization of one.

Tom recalled the Monster Birds he encountered in the Solar System, which could travel through space using their own power.


From this perspective, those Monster Birds were probably also a primitive stage of the Star Beast Disaster. Given enough time, they might even develop to a higher stage in the future.


"At that time, the Dark Energy-level Star Beast Disaster had already scattered in all directions, with a diffusion radius of several light-years.


For ordinary Space Civilizations, even the Red Star Civilization, there would likely be no solution to such a situation.


But the Destroyer Civilization is different. They activated a Heavenly Disaster of Destruction once, and in one fell swoop, they killed all the Dark Energy-level Star Beasts, totaling over 1 billion, within a radius of several light-years.
