The community has once again successfully destroyed a bug planet, but may have given a new enemy the opportunity to attack

The Illuminateare very likely to be the next enemy faction inHelldivers 2. In the predecessor, this enemy was completely driven out by the heroes of the Over-Earth, but signs of their return are increasing.

Now thereis a mysterious black holecause for concern, for which the players themselves are even partly responsible. What happened?

When a planet explodes

On the planetMeridiathe players have destroyed a termite super-colony in accordance with the last general order. To do this, they had to inject something called “Dark Fluid” into the planet’s surface

With the bugs, however,the entire planet was destroyed at the same time Anyone who was in orbit at the time had to evacuate. Upon returning, players found ablack hole, as can be seen in this Reddit post:

This is what happened if you were in orbit around Meridia when the MO completed + bonus after

The change in the star map seems to be permanent. Anyone visiting Meridia will find black nothingness with a shimmering edge. The spectacle is accompanied by an eerie soundscape, which you can hear in another Reddit post &nbsp

Black hole or portal?

The dark abyss does indeed sound like a black hole. If you can’t hear the sound, which is reminiscent of space whales singing, you can listen to a few seconds from the galaxy cluster Perseuson Youtube

The players of Helldivers 2, however, are certain that itis a portaland two things speak for this:

  • Firstly, the “Dark Fluid” is a technology that was taken from the Illuminatein the first galactic war, i.e. Helldivers 1.
  • On the other hand, the planet was full of bugs whose bloodis used as fuelfor the Helldivers’ faster-than-light engines.

In science fiction terms, alien technology from a species that can teleport and masses of fuel for faster-than-light travelare good prerequisitesfor the creation of a portal.

It looks like the triumphant victory of the Over-Earth on Meridia may have opened the door to an old enemy. It is currently unknown when the Illuminati might actually intervene. There is currently no official mention or even announcement. You can find the most important information on the potential next enemy faction in Helldivers 2 linked above.
