"So, Master, what you're saying is that … the Goddess of Order in this world is likely to be from another planet?"
NIMF blinked curiously. She moved her gaze away from the thick scripture and looked at Fangzheng. Fangzheng looked at the little angel in front of him and nodded.
"I do have this thought."
If it was said that Fangzheng hadn't thought about it in this direction in the past, then now, he immediately had doubts after reading the teachings. What was the Goddess of Order? Looking at the scripture, Fangzheng found many strange things in the description. For example, the first part recorded the history of humans struggling to survive under the erosion of Chaos on this continent.
But in this part, although there were many descriptions of human death or mutation, there were no records of heaven and hell. But in the second part, after the Goddess of Order appeared, there was day and night, spring, summer, autumn, and winter on this land, and at the same time, heaven and hell. It was also from this point onward that the people of this world were given clear concepts of 'good' and 'evil'. For example, in the past, they only called it the 'terrifying mist'. But after the arrival of the Goddess of Order, they called it the 'evil Chaos'.
"Terrible" was an instinctive feeling, but "Evil" was an external definition.
"What do you think?"
"Hmm … That's hard to say …."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Nimf frowned and showed a distressed expression.
"In the past, Alpha also received orders to destroy Babylon. At that time, the Earthen Worm also regarded it as a divine punishment, but in fact, it was just a weapon system of our artificial angels. If it were up to me, the Earthen Worm might call all the powers that he can't understand and resist as gods. From this point of view, Master's idea is very likely, but … .does this have anything to do with what we're doing now? "
"It's not completely unrelated."
Facing Nimf's question, Fangzheng thought for a moment and tapped on the scripture.
"According to Commander Wales, the movements of the daemons this year are very unusual, and the scouts sent out by the Northern Fortress could only bring back this information from the scripture. Wales believes that they might have seen something similar to what is described in the scriptures, but if the Goddess of Order is really an existence from a higher civilization, then..... could this be some kind of device? "
"Eh?"
The little angel was taken aback when she heard Fangzheng's speculation. She looked at the scripture again and nodded after a moment of silence.
"Indeed, if you remove the subjective imagination and artistic processing, this looks like some kind of device operating inside the earth's crust …."
"Can you guess what it is used for?"
"That's hard to say, Master."
This time, Little Angel shook her head helplessly.
"There are only some effects written in the teachings of the Earthen Worm, but the reason for these effects is unknown. It's likely to be some kind of resource harvesting device, or a core that uses the energy of the earth's core. Considering the description of the wrath of the gods, it might even be a nuclear bomb …."
"It would be great if we could investigate in low-Earth orbit."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng couldn't help but grumble. After obtaining the Sea Mist Fleet, he had tried to send Iona and the others into low-Earth orbit outside the atmosphere. But it did not work. Every time the Sea Mist Fleet rose to an altitude of about 50,000 meters, Fangzheng would receive a system notification stating that the Sea Mist Fleet was about to leave the system's range and would be forcibly transferred.
Later, Fangzheng did not believe it and tried it several times, but the result was the same.
Fangzheng was sure that there must be something fishy going on, but he really had no better idea at the moment. But now …. he seemed to have found some clues.
In Fangzheng's opinion, the possibility of the Goddess of Order being an existence from a higher civilization was quite high. Although according to the scripture, being able to separate heaven and earth, distinguish the four seasons, and draw out time and order was not something a mortal could do. But from a scientific point of view, it was not entirely impossible to do so.
Just like the "real" Earthlings that Fangzheng met in the world of The Matrix, they just did not have enough time. Otherwise, once those people really transformed their souls into quantum information, they would probably be no different from the legendary gods.
Not to mention those unlucky people, even the little angel herself could probably become a god if she went to a primitive civilization planet where people ate raw meat and drank blood.
"Should we send someone to investigate?"
"No, the Chaotic Zone is very dangerous. I won't put my subordinates at risk."
Logically speaking, Fangzheng should send the vampires and other destroyers to explore the way ahead, but he could feel that the deeper they went into the Chaotic Zone, the weaker the power of Order, and the more chaotic it would be. In this case, sending someone to explore the way was no different from throwing them into the center of a black hole. Even the heavens would not know what would happen.
"So what should we do?"
"Hmm …."
In the face of Nimf's question, Fangzheng showed a confident smile.
"Did you know, Nimf? There's a saying that the best offense … is defense. "
"….?"
It wasn't only Nimufu who didn't know what Fangzheng meant. In fact, even Commander Wales was at a loss when he heard Fangzheng's words.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Fangzheng. What are you trying to say?"
"I don't think we can be limited to a single battlefield or target."
After a night's rest, Fangzheng came to the command hall again. But this time, in addition to Nimf, Fangzheng was accompanied by Iona and Bushcui. Wales also appeared with his deputy. But even so, they were still a little surprised by Fangzheng's proposal.
"For so many years, it's always been us defending and the magical beasts attacking. But in my opinion, this is too passive.
Fangzheng stretched out his hand and tapped on the map and the red arrow representing the magical beasts in front of him.
"Now that we have enough troops and powerful firepower to cover us, why can't we use the Northern Fortress as a starting point to reclaim this area that was once devoured and polluted by Chaos?"
"Huh?"
Hearing until here, almost everyone was stunned. Then, Wales also frowned.
"This …."
"My crystal towers can expand the coverage of Order. As long as we build crystal towers along the way, we can face the enemy in the shortest time possible. Not only that, but we can also take the initiative and reclaim more land of Order! That way, the Northern Fortress will have more space to maneuver, won't it? "
"But the longer the battle line, the easier it is for us to be attacked by the magical beasts …."
In response to Wales' doubts, Fangzheng shrugged, stretched out his hand, and pointed above their heads. Wales immediately shut his mouth when he saw Fangzheng's action. The deterrence brought by the steel behemoths hovering in the sky was still lingering in his heart.
"But … .about manpower."
"Don't worry about manpower."
Fangzheng smiled and waved his hand in response to Wales' question. Then, he raised a question.
