"Two battlefields … two targets …" Hao Ren nodded as he listened to Rheia's analysis. He had previously simulated the final battle with the Mad Lord, and his conclusion was similar to the goddess of creation's. To deal with that special enemy, its minions and main body were undoubtedly the two most important challenges. "The main task of the outer perimeter is to stop and weaken the minions' power, to prevent the Mad Lord from spreading, and the task of the central zone is to face the Mad Lord's main body head-on … Looks like those who enter the central zone must be the best of the best."
"I will definitely go in myself." Rheia nodded. "And the Creation's Engine that is about to be completed. That will be our biggest weapon."
"And me." Hao Ren pointed at himself. "While I'm not as good at fighting as you, I'm the only one with the highest divinity aside from you. Only the two of us can move freely in that environment and still maintain our full combat power."
As soon as he finished, Vivian suddenly said, "I'll go too."
Hao Ren looked at her worriedly. "You …"
"I have retrieved all my power, and my power is of the same origin as the goddess of creation. If we fight together, we will complement each other." Vivian looked into Hao Ren's eyes. "More importantly … I can't let you go alone."
Looking at Vivian's determined gaze, Hao Ren would be lying if he said he was not touched, but he still added, "I can be resurrected. That's what the contract says."
"This has nothing to do with resurrection," Vivian said flatly. "I just don't want to not be with you when the final battle comes. Besides, it's not like I'll be a burden to you. If I summon the Crimson Moon now, you might not be able to beat me. "
Lily looked at Hao Ren and then at Vivian, and could not help but grimace. "You two should be more or less the same. Don't you know it's a little inappropriate to show off your affection in such a serious situation?"
Everyone around them nodded, even Rheia nodded along …
"Ahem, let's get down to business." Hao Ren quickly changed the subject. He looked at Y 'zaks and the others. "We can take care of the central area, and the droid army and guardians can take care of the outer perimeter. But there is another front, and I hope you can take care of it."
"There's another front?" Nangong Sanba was stunned. "Don't we just have to stand outside and shout 666?"
Nangong Wuyue immediately swung her tail at her brother's head: "Brother! Don't you have any shame! "
"I'm just telling you the truth," Nangong Sanba said confidently. "The Dark Abyss is the domain of high-level players. Do you think we don't know what we're made of? There are two fronts there. One is the space war, and the other is the fight between the immortals. No matter which one it is, it doesn't look easy … "
"You're right, but there will be battlefields outside the Dark Abyss." Hao Ren waited for Nangong Sanba to finish before explaining. "The battlefield here in the Dark Abyss Prison can be seen as the 'battlefront of the gods', but the surviving civilizations should also be prepared."
"The so-called 'battlefront of humans' huh …" Rheia nodded lightly as the star map of the Plane of Dreams unfurled behind her. "Holletta, Tannagost Zorm, Io, the Executors, and a few other surviving planets that you have discovered. They are the only mortal civilizations left in this era, and we must ensure that they are not destroyed in this final battle."
"Didn't we just say that there is a mental filter?" Y 'zaks frowned.
"That is just a layer of defense, but we cannot count on that." Hao Ren said solemnly. "I am almost certain that the pervasive Mad Lord will find a chance to invade those surviving civilizations. Because the signal sources with mental responses are as eye-catching as the lights in the night in this barren Plane of Dreams, and the minds of mortals are the easiest to attract the attention of the Mad Lord."
"To break free from control, it will scan the entire universe for intelligent responses and try to invade the minds of the mortals to tear open the perimeter of the Umbral Realm." Rheia continued Hao Ren's words. "So we need a team to monitor and extinguish the 'infiltration points' that appear in the mortal world. To be honest, our forces in the Umbral Realm are already stretched thin, and we do not have extra forces to split up again … "
"Oh, I get it. Firefighters, right? Now that you mention it, it's indeed necessary." Nangong Sanba nodded in realization, but then he frowned. "But you're counting on the few of us to monitor the situation of several planets? If there are only one or two 'infiltration points', that's fine, we can just teleport over and kill a bunch of monsters, but what if there are infiltration points on a few planets at the same time? "
Y 'zaks rubbed his chin as he pondered. "Helcrown has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the Aerymian elves would be more than happy to answer the call of the Sun King … These troops may not be able to fight in space, but they can still be used to control the situation on the planet's surface. But … "
"They are all in the Surface World." Lily scratched her hair, her ears and tail swaying together. "No matter how you look at it, it is unrealistic for such a large army to pass through the Wall of Reality … Or is the Wall of Reality strong enough to accommodate a hundred thousand people?"
Hao Ren smiled mysteriously when he heard that. "Due to the restrictions of the Wall of Reality, the armies of Helcrown and the Aerymian elves will definitely not be able to pass through. At most, they can send a hundred or eighty high-end forces over, but there is an army that is not subject to this restriction … Or rather, the restriction is very small, and it just happens to be able to pass through the loophole of the Wall of Reality."
The others looked at each other. Apart from Rollie who was holding a salted fish and gnawing on it, everyone else had a confused look on their faces. Nangong Sanba held it in for a long while before he finally said, "Since when did you hide a wave of troops?"
"I didn't hide it, you all know," Hao Ren laughed and finally did not keep them in suspense. "It's the Einherjar."
Nangong Sanba suddenly had a look of realization as he dragged his voice. "Oh — who is it again?"
"Why are you 'oh' when you don't remember!" Nangong Wuyue once again whipped Nangong Sanba with her tail. If there were not so many people here, she would have rolled her brother up and smacked him on the ground. Then she said awkwardly, "I don't remember either …"
As she said that, she immediately excused herself. "But you can't blame me! Fish have a bad memory in the first place … "
"You are an ever-changing elemental creature. Just because there is a mermaid princess on Earth, you really think of yourself as a fish?" Lily gave the siblings a disdainful look. "The Einherjars! Have you forgotten? Yggdrasil, the Nine Worlds, the Asgardian army, and the Gungnir in Mr. Landlord's hand was dropped there … Mr. Landlord is also the Lord of the Nine Worlds. "
Nangong Sanba immediately facepalmed. "Damn … there are too many things that I have forgotten … There is indeed such a thing, and we even picked up Odin there. Speaking of which, the Einherjars have been restored? "
"They are the 'Einherjars', but to put it bluntly, they are a kind of 'robot' that combines necromancy and alchemy." Hao Ren laughed. "But because the demon hunters destroyed all the repair stations when they demolished Odin's old home, the Einherjars have either stopped working due to malfunctions or their strength has declined due to lack of maintenance. But the core of the necromancy creation is not so easily damaged. As long as their 'body' can be repaired, it is just a matter of recharging. I had left some engineering machinery in Asgard to repair the various facilities there, and let the last Valkyrie be in charge of rebuilding the Einherjars. Now, everything there has been restored. "
Lily looked at Hao Ren in surprise. "Wow! Never thought of that! Speaking of which, Mr. Landlord, when did you do all this? "
"F * ck, I am super busy every day! How can I slack like you guys all day! "
Lily looked puzzled. "But when we slack, you do too …"
Hao Ren paused for a moment before he realized what she meant. "… I am not talking about Lil Pea!"
"So, the Einherjars can ignore the 'bandwidth limit' of the Wall of Reality?" In the end, it was Y 'zaks, the conscience of the team and the last' defender of justice ', who pulled the topic back.
"That's right, because they are not complete 'intelligent beings'. While they are infused with souls, the souls have been washed and recompiled, and are actually equivalent to some kind of program. And under the control of the program, the Einherjars are just 'objects'. Before the Wall of Reality, they are just like a piece of steel of the same quality, occupying the same bandwidth. And over at the Scarred Nebula … the total amount of material exchanged between the two universes every year is enough to stuff countless Einherjars. "
Y 'zaks asked the key question. "How many Einherjars do we have?"
"According to the report sent by Valkyrie not long ago, there are currently about sixty thousand Einherjars that can be used in battle, and she is now trying to restart an ancient arsenal from the Age of Odin. If the system there is operational again, there will be another twenty thousand Einherjars and some autonomous weapons from the Mythological Era available."
Since they had encountered the einherjar once and collected detailed data, regardless of whether they had participated in Yggdrasil's operation or not, they all knew the strength of the einherjar. The armor was made of superalloy, and they were armed with beam weapons or superalloy swords. They were extremely strong, and they had no weak points. They would only stop operating when their energy was exhausted or completely shattered. They were the perfect mechanical soldiers.
If not for the Einherjars' disrepair, lack of energy supply, and the madness of their commander, Hao Ren might not have had the upper hand against the magical version of the Terminators.
Now that they had been properly maintained, and some of their parts had been strengthened by Hao Ren, they would undoubtedly be useful to deal with the 'firefighting operation' on the surface of the planet.
