They discussed various countermeasures, deduced the variables of the war, and searched for potential loopholes in the defense line. All of this went on for the entire day.
And in the process, they completed their patrol of the Dark Abyss defense line, checked the operation of the newly completed droid heavy fortresses, and communicated with the Nightwatchers in the Dark Abyss before returning to the resting area of the Basilica of the World Tree.
But as they sat at the long dinner table in the basilica, they could not help but discuss the impending war.
"I just feel that no matter how we arrange it, there will always be something unsatisfactory." Vivian could not help but facepalm as she shook her head. "To be honest, back in the Mythological Era, I did help some of my friends against the demon hunters, and I did participate in a few of their meetings during the later stages of the War of the Gods, but the pressure was nothing compared to today …"
Even the knowledgeable Vivian let out a helpless sigh, and the rest were no exception. At the end of the day, Hao Ren's companions were not combat geniuses, and while they could fight during a fight, getting them to participate in the planning of a war was a little too much. Among them, only Y 'zaks could be considered a professional, but even Wang Zheng had not been involved in such a huge battlefield …
But professional matters were naturally handled by professionals, and now Hao Ren was glad that he had built a droid army that could come up with its own battle plan and had a powerful strategic AI, and he had found a professional commander like Salaman, so they would not be blindsided in the upcoming war.
"No matter how much preparation is done, it will always feel like we are not prepared." Rheia was touched by Vivian's words. "The war against the Mad Lord is like that, no matter when it starts, you will feel that it is too soon … So even I sometimes feel a little pessimistic, and that is normal."
"Now that the droids and the guardian army are in place, and the fortresses and fortresses around the Dark Abyss are coming online, all that is left is to arrange for the survival of the various civilizations." Hao Ren nodded and turned to Y 'zaks. "I have already sent a message to the Einherjar, and it will be easy for them to teleport here through the Scarred Nebula. I will leave this army to you. You are the most experienced among us in this field."
Y 'zaks thought about it. "Hmm … I have no objections, but I don't really understand this army. While I have commanded soldiers of various races in battle, this is the first time I've seen an einherjar army like the Einherjar."
"That Valkyrie will come with the army, and she will be in charge of the command. You just need to tell her the objective," Hao Ren explained. "Also, I will open all the portals on the various planets, and you will have full access. That will make it easier for you to move between planets."
Y 'zaks grinned. "Then I have no problem with that. Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that there would be a day where I would lead an army on the battlefield. Moreover, I would be leading an army of heroic spirits from another world … Tsk tsk, as a post-retirement entertainment, it's really interesting. "
Nangong Sanba, on the other hand, rubbed his hands as he paced back and forth. "Heh, the final battle, running between several planets, and even leading an army of einherjars … Damn, this is so epic, I'm a little nervous. Do you think the people on those planets will erect statues for us after this is over? "
Nangong Wuyue could not help but cover her face. "Bro … it's embarrassing …"
"Isn't it easy to get a statue? In Holletta, there is still the legend of the 'All the Good Names Are Taken by Dogs' mercenary group. "Hao Ren chuckled, and then turned serious." Actually, there is something I want to say … That is, this is not ordinary. It can be said that it is the biggest challenge we have ever faced. Although we have a true god here, it is still hard to say who will win, so … "
"Alright, stop it, we know what you want to say." Nangong Sanba interrupted Hao Ren without waiting for him to finish. "You have said something similar once before … But I think, we have been running around in this universe for so many years, whether it is within our team or with this world, it should not be the kind of thing that can be easily let go. At least, my sister and I are like that. So, at this point, don't say that you can quit if you want to."
Nangong Wuyue looked at her brother in surprise. "Bro, I didn't expect you to say such things."
Nangong Sanba laughed, his face full of righteousness. "I am mainly worried that if he really advises me, I will just follow his heart …"
Nangong Wuyue immediately swung her tail on his head, and the temple was suddenly filled with joy …
"To be honest, while Sanba's words are very reasonable, I think there are definitely some among us who have not thought that far ahead. They are running around with us, and ten out of ten, they are heartless —" Vivian said as she raised her hand and pointed not far away.
Rollie was squatting behind the table, talking to Lil Pea. "Let me lick you, and I will give you the diary I just wrote, meow!"
Lil Pea jumped up and swung her tail at Rollie, while Noobie, who was standing next to her, threw a wave of corrosive energy bolts at Rollie, who was covering her head with her hands, as if to cheer her on.
Hao Ren did not know how many times he had seen such a scene …
"These three … To be honest, these three should stay at home," Hao Ren said sincerely. "What we are going to do next is really not suitable for them."
Everyone agreed with him.
At that moment, Wuyue noticed that Rheia had not said a word since the beginning, and had a thoughtful look on her face, so she asked curiously, "What are you thinking about?"
Rheia looked up with a faint smile on her face. "Nothing, just thinking that after so many years, my voice will suddenly appear in the hearts of the children … Will any of them remember who I am?"
Lily was stunned. "You want to shout to the entire universe … No, you want to make a godly prophecy?"
"Of course," Hao Ren spoke for Rheia. "They need to know what's going on, and the surviving civilizations need to be prepared, or else once the Mad Lord's power leaks out on their planet, the unprepared races will be in big trouble. Even if we don't consider that, it's still scary enough for you guys to lead the einherjar and fight the little monsters in front of them. So we need to mobilize the surviving civilizations first, and then with the cooperation of the locals, you guys will lead the Einherjar to extinguish the leaks. "
"Holletta still maintains the faith of the goddess of creation, and has a complete church and enough influence. While the Zormians living in Tannagost have yet to rebuild their religious system, they still know about the goddess of creation," Vivian said to Rheia. "And the exiled civilization living on Io is a little more troublesome … They have completely lost their generations, and while the Executors have not lost their generations, they have given up on religion, and they probably don't even know who you are."
"But they know about the inspectors and the droid army," Hao Ren added. "Let's play along. Rheia, spread a godly prophecy across the universe, let the surviving civilizations know about the final battle, and I'll broadcast it a few more times so that nothing is missed."
Lily was a little worried. "Speaking of which, will there be a collapse of order after those civilizations receive the notice?"
"They did not grow up in a greenhouse." Hao Ren shook his head. "Of the civilizations that have been discovered so far, which one of them did not just survive the destruction of their civilization? Their civilization level may vary, but their mental fortitude is definitely top notch. And we are not broadcasting it to all of them, we need to pass the news to their leaders and think tanks first. "
Hearing that Hao Ren had made arrangements in this regard, Rheia let out a sigh of relief. "That's a relief."
Hao Ren looked at Rheia and smiled. "Actually, you should really talk more to the believers of Holletta. They should be the greatest miracle of the universe. Not only did they survive the apocalypse, but they also maintained their faith until today. This is the only one."
"Actually, I've thought about it, but … don't laugh when I say it, I'm a little nervous." Rheia stuck out her tongue. "Too many things have happened, and too many years have passed in between. They went through an apocalypse, and I went through a fall and slumber … If we meet again, what should I say?"
As she said, she shook her head. "And according to their religious legend, the apocalypse ten thousand years ago was caused by the 'wrath of the goddess of creation' … How am I going to explain this to them?"
Hao Ren could not help but facepalm. "Who the f * ck would believe that the goddess did not answer prayers because she had stage fright …"
"Are you really the mighty, loving, omniscient, and omnipotent goddess of creation in the legends?" Lily also stared at Rheia with her eyes wide open. "Why do I feel like you're a hacker the more I get to know you?"
"I used to be like that too …" Rheia said a little awkwardly. "My favorite thing was to study the stars, and most of the time I was studying the stars or something else. Most of the time, it was the guardians who helped me communicate with the mortal world. And since a long time ago, when I answered prayers, I did not speak much … I don't know why they started to think of me as a mighty figure … and every time I did not speak, they would say it was a test from the goddess. "
Hao Ren held his forehead and sighed. "Sigh, no wonder my boss said that myths are the farthest from the original. Those bunch of scammers can even scare their gods. You don't even know how they made you out to be if you don't look at them for two days …"
Rheia could only smile awkwardly as her heart was filled with a sense of identification with Raven 12345.
At this moment, Lemendusa's image suddenly appeared in the temple, and his slightly nervous voice interrupted the chatter of the people around the table.
"Mother, there's a problem with the Creation's Engine."
Rheia immediately turned serious. "What happened?"
"In the process of trying to connect the Heart of God with the three Gilded Discs, there was an abnormally strong information fluctuation," Lemendusa said. "The two are unable to establish synchronization."
