To be honest, when Barry first took out those two items, I was very surprised. It could be said that I was shocked. The energy that those items emitted was so familiar, and just as Barry had said, it was beyond the understanding of the world, even reaching the level of a "true God." This did not mean that those two items were very powerful. In fact, their energy could only be described as ordinary, but the level of their energy had definitely reached the level of interfering with the truth of the world. They were not native products of this universe, and their very existence had always been distorting everything around them.
Basically, I immediately thought that these two items could be Divine Instruments that had fallen from the Galactic Realm of Gods, and now they had fallen into Barry's hands. If he had really completely grasped the power of these two Divine Instruments, then perhaps this old traitor would really be a little more difficult to deal with. He might have a way to amplify this power, and then what we would have to face would directly change from a relatively strong mortal to a fake version of the Galactic Realm God.
However, very quickly, Lin Xue came back with news from space. She had seen an interesting scene, so she asked everyone to calm down. Hearing the tone of the young lady, I knew that this matter had become interesting. So, I led a group of people to the side to watch, intending to see what kind of tricks Barry had up his sleeves. But how should I put it, no matter how much I thought about it, I really did not expect that the Sighing Wall would spawn that pair of brother and sister Gods …
"Do you see that old man?" I pointed at Barry. "Beat him up. If you kill him, put it on me."
Elson was stunned. Only then did he notice that there was a living fossil standing behind him. He was still confused about the situation, so he grabbed his hair and said, "Who is this? Did he do something wrong? Why does he have my things in his hands … "
"This is Barry," Liliana said. "You know, we were fighting with him. Don't worry, now that the war is over, please beat him up. This is not considered interfering with internal affairs … "
Hearing this, Elson's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at his precious sister, and the two of them simultaneously rolled up their sleeves. What happened next was more unbearable to watch. I have to say, it's fortunate that there's a Sighing Wall there. Barrian doesn't even have a place to run. He's stuck on the wall and beaten up. However, the old traitor's bones were quite tough. Although Elson and Monina did not really use much of their strength, a few simple movements of their fingers were already too much for ordinary people to bear. However, Barrian managed to hold on for nearly ten minutes without collapsing. He was still standing straight — because he was pressed against the Wall of Sighs and beaten.
After the Wall of Sighs was closed from the inside, Liliana used a broom to carefully gather all the Barrian corpses on the ground. She went to the side to heal them. Of course, it was also possible that she went to revive them. After all, I really couldn't tell if the Barrian corpses were still alive. I meant if the main part of them were still alive.
"How is this possible … How is this possible …" Moments later, Lina finished her treatment. Barrian sat on the ground, his tattered "divine robe" draped over him. He looked like he was on the verge of collapse. He repeated those words over and over again. I walked forward and sized up the old traitor. This fellow who had never shown any weakness and had always been full of confidence had finally lowered his head.
It was simply a farce.
"God doesn't just rely on power." I shook my head. Although I knew that the person in front of me would never listen to me, I couldn't help but say, "You guys have never walked the right path from the beginning. No matter how much power you have obtained, it has nothing to do with God."
"From the beginning … From the beginning …" Barrian stood up unsteadily. "No … No! I was right! I was the great leader who led the people to freedom! I couldn't have made a mistake! You bastards destroyed everything! Just one step, just one step and the Mellowans could really achieve divine power. We will be immortal forever. Do you hear me? Immortal forever! You have to … "
Barrian's words came to an abrupt halt. He froze on the spot like a statue. Even his fluttering clothes stopped moving. Shallow Shallow looked at the statue coldly and shook her head in disdain. "Why are you wasting your breath on him? You should get down to business. Liliana, control him until he's half dead and send him back to the spaceship. I'm worried that I might accidentally kill this thing. "
Liliana shivered and nodded hurriedly. "Ha … Okay, Big Sister Shallow Shallow!"
A great deal of Barrian's life force was sucked out of him, and he instantly became as weak as a living dead. He was then chained up, and Lina personally escorted him back to the mothership. I finally had a chance to understand the situation from the Elsons and Elsons. The siblings saw that no one was paying attention to them, so they ran to the two brackets that Barrian had made earlier. They first took off their own things and then curiously studied the strange equipment.
"It looks like they used external energy to attack the Divine Artifact. The Divine Artifact will automatically defend itself, and then they used another set of equipment to detect the information flow generated when the Divine Artifact was defending itself and simulate it." Monina looked very professional as she fiddled with the equipment. She placed her Black Grimoire on the rack and injected her power into it. Even though she knew nothing about technology, she could still clearly analyze the changes that happened to her Divine Artifact during the process. "Maybe they wanted to use this method to fake the power of the Gods … But they got it wrong from the beginning. The power of the Gods is not a specific energy or entity. It's impossible to simulate the ability to directly control the laws of the world with this equipment. The only function of this thing is … to send a message to my brother and me."
"And then you two were summoned here?" I felt that everything was unprecedentedly dramatic. Even though it really happened, I still felt a little confused. Tell me … how could Barrian be so unlucky?
"Something like that. These two things were lost during the previous expedition. They should have been floating around in the void for a long time, and then this guy called Barrian picked them up … Sigh, he doesn't even know how to take good care of them."
I curiously took the big black book. It felt heavy, and when I opened it, I found that only the first two pages had content, and the rest were all blank. "What is this? Your Bible? "
Monina waved her hand. "No, this is the notebook I used when I took the God of Destruction certification."
"Notebook? Why are there only the first two pages, and the rest is all blank? "
Monina looked embarrassed and stuck out her tongue cutely. "Why don't I take the God of Destruction certification seven times? This is the first time's notebook … "
Me: "... Then Elson, what is this little shield of yours for?"
"Do you think I look good wearing this?" Elson put the small shield on his forehead. It looked like a forehead protector. I instantly understood the function of this thing: it was roughly equivalent to the 3.50 dollar bracelets and pendants on the roadside. To be honest, Elson's stupid handsome face with this forehead protector was really …
"It looks like an idiot." I couldn't go against my conscience, so I could only say the truth.
Elson casually threw the small shield into his pocket. "My sister said the same thing back then, so I threw it away …"
"…"
"Is this place alright?" Elson looked around. "Wow, this place's decorations are really vulgar."
"Err …" I forced my expression to be a little more serious. "It definitely has nothing to do with you guys. Now that the war is over, we have to stay behind to deal with the aftermath. You guys can go back first … "
"That's great. I'm going — I'm watching TV. It's rare that Big Sis didn't hog the TV today."
"I'm going back too. There are still two dishes that haven't been cooked."
The brother and sister each said that, then opened the teleportation door and disappeared before everyone's eyes. The few of us looked at each other in dismay. The whole thing was considered to be completely over, but why did the last part of the development turn out like this …
With all sorts of subtle emotions, we returned to the mothership.
Missy was waiting for everyone in the command hall. Next to her was Sandora, who had also just returned. The moment she saw us, Missy instantly skipped over with a heartless smile. "How is it? How do you feel now? "
"What do you think? I'm crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. "I pressed Missy's head back and came before Sandora." It's been hard on you this time. Err … I guess you ate your fill. "
The moment I thought of Sandora humming a tune as she went to the asteroid belt to devour the world, my heart shuddered. However, Sandora still frowned with resentment. "No way. You know that I can't eat when I'm in Glory mode. I'm covered in light from head to toe, so I can pass through everything. I'm just asking for some psychological comfort. I'm waiting for the canteen to prepare the food … I'm still hungry. "
Everyone was speechless.
The war that had lasted for almost a month and spread across thirteen universes had finally subsided. The war had finally ended with the total defeat of the Mellowans. Although there were all sorts of twists and turns at the end, everything was still going according to our script. The Empire's fleet had suffered a certain degree of damage, and even the various main forces had suffered some damage. This was unavoidable in a war with a civilization of Mellowa's level, but the damage was completely acceptable. Compared to the previous battles with the Fallen Apostles, this damage was nothing. The fleet would probably recover completely after a few days of recuperation after returning home.
The Third Fleet had already set off to return to the Empire, and along with them were a large number of Mellowan prisoners of war. These prisoners of war were all captured in the later stages of the war from the various important military nodes in Mellowa's capital star system. Based on the list provided by Turazzo, we had captured all the officials of Mellowa's radical faction who were above the middle level. Perhaps dying on the battlefield would be the end for the ordinary rebels, but for these radical leaders who controlled everything with one hand and caused all sorts of tragedies with the other, death would definitely not be the end. They were going to be sent to the Imperial Army's Court and receive the fairest verdict. Who knew how many of them would be thrown into the Fourth Zone. That usually deserted zone would probably become lively because of this. Liliana was quite happy about this.
As for the conservative Mellowans, although they had made many contributions this time, and their crimes were lighter than those of the radicals, this did not mean that they were innocent. These people would also have to be tried, but for now, they were not considered war criminals, so they did not have to be escorted back with the radical prisoners of war. They could wait for the second batch and then return to the Empire with us.
The Royal Fleet and the few of us could not leave yet, because there was still a rather important matter that had not been resolved.
Among the equipment stolen by the Mellowans back then, there was a prototype of a communication device used in deep submersible ships. That device was also the main purpose of our expedition this time. According to speculation, it should have been hidden on the Mellowans' homeworld along with other stolen equipment. Now that the Holy Kingdom has been occupied, we are sending a large number of people to find the whereabouts of that thing.
Apart from searching for that ancient device, we also need to leave some people to deal with the remaining affairs of these worlds. The various B Squadrons went to the various war zones to confirm the battlefields, to assist the former slave races who were in a difficult situation due to war and suppression, and also to confirm the major damage suffered in each zone. Because the warring parties used a large number of superweapons, some of the heavily damaged zones were chaotic and the mathematical laws were out of balance, seriously even affecting the stability of the universe, so we may need a team of experts to repair these worlds.
Every slave race needed help, and after the end of Sandora's influence, eighty percent of the slave races were in a daze. The Mellowans' brainwashing effect had disappeared, and without the effects of the nerve agent, these slaves would not be trapped in hallucinations and fanaticism, but they had fallen into chaos due to the aftermath of the brainwashing. They did not know what to do, lost a clear goal, and had no concern for their own lives. In an instant, it was as if they had become primitive people sitting in skyscrapers and modern cities, at a loss for the future, and the most serious was the instinct to eat, drink, and defecate. Every slave race had their own resistance groups and awakened ones, and these awakened ones were working hard to help their own people, to prevent their own kind from falling into another dangerous swamp of decadence just after gaining freedom. But those who were truly unaffected by the brainwashing in the resistance groups were, after all, the minority, so we had to take the initiative to help.
The first was to help them restart the infrastructure of their cities, restore their normal civilized lives, and study how to completely eradicate the effects of the brainwashing while ensuring that everyone was alive. After all, Sandora could not always hang in the sky like Pac-Man, could she? We had to find a way to treat the symptoms and the root of the problem, so that the shadow of the Mellowans would completely disappear from the minds of these slaves.
To be honest, there were many things I did not think of at first: many generations of the slave race were slaves from birth, and to them, freedom was an unfamiliar feeling. Freed from their shackles, they still needed a long time of guidance to adapt to their identity as free people, and to restart their seriously deformed civilization.
The day after the war ended, the Admiral of the Empire arrived at a place we had not seen for nearly a month: the planet we had landed on when we first came to this world.
This planet used to be unusually peaceful and peaceful, even though it was primitive and backward. But at least it had a clear sky and land. But after the outbreak of war, this place still inevitably suffered from the torment of the Mellowans. Although the bloody suppression of the Mellowans was stopped in many places, they caused huge casualties in the early stages of the suppression. Looking from space, there were several shocking charred black spots on the northern hemisphere and near the equator of this indigenous planet, and those were the traces of suppression. After the original inhabitants of the planet were freed from the mind control and were stirred up by the resistance groups, they refused to serve the Mellowans again. They paid a huge price to kill the Mellowan 'sage' who coincidentally landed on the planet, and began to fight fiercely against the admonishing police sent by Barrian. When they found that their suppression was useless, the slaves could no longer bow their heads, and the admonishing police frantically applied for orbital bombardment — the charred black areas on the planet were the result of the first round of bombardment. Fortunately, the Imperial Army intervened in time, and the planet was pulled back from the brink of destruction, but it still suffered heavy losses.
Anurili's village was still there, and it was lucky that it was not affected by the bombardment, but it was also very dangerous: the village was located at the edge of the first wave of orbital bombardment.
Several large frigates detached from the Admiral of the Empire and landed near the village where we first landed. I, Liliana, Shallow Shallow, and the sisters Pandora returned to this place. Lin Xue did not come with us. She was still in the Holy Kingdom. On one hand, she was personally directing the recovery and search of the Empire's facilities in the Holy Kingdom. On the other hand, it was said that there was something important that she wanted to confirm in person. I guessed that it had something to do with her prophecy, so I did not ask too much. In any case, we would soon know what the missy was up to. Sandora was still on the flagship, and she was having her seventh meal of the day.
The prairie was still full of life, and the place that was only a thin line away from the bombardment zone was lucky enough to retain its original appearance. However, when we looked into the distance, at the end of the horizon, the clouds in the sky were distorted in an abnormal manner. The surface that was scorched by the orbital bombardment was still boiling hot, and a toxic thermal hurricane was raging on the other side of the horizon. The distorted clouds were the boundary of the area. The orbital bombardment's epicenter was quite far away from this area, but the geological disaster it caused spread almost to the point where we could see it before it finally stopped. There was even a slightly pungent smell in the air, which showed how dangerous this place was.
Because it was near the bombardment zone, this small village was now an emergency base for rescuing the wounded and sending off those who had died. When we entered the village, we saw that the original rural village had become a place where the wounded were piled up. The unplanned main road and open space in the village were used on the spot, filled with makeshift beds and small tents. On the open space outside the village, such tents spread out for a few kilometers. Injuries of varying degrees filled the field of vision. Most of them were from malignant burns and serious injuries suffered while fighting against the police. Among these people, there might be a few resistance fighters, but most of them were originally numb and muddle-headed slaves. These people who rose up to resist, the once numb people, were finally free.
They needed help here.
Of course, the people in the village also noticed our arrival. In fact, our arrival should have caused a bit of a commotion. Although the Empire's warships were surprising to these people, they were not completely unfamiliar. They basically knew what was going on with these spaceships. The frigate landed next to the village, and from the village, we could see the spaceships flying over the sky. Therefore, when we walked into the village, we were surrounded by people. It was no longer the numb gaze that swept over us, but the gazes were filled with all kinds of emotions from the bottom of their hearts. Curiosity, questioning, fear, gratitude, and all kinds of emotions were mixed together as they looked at us. I wasn't someone who liked to be looked at like this, but when I thought about how this village used to be filled with gazes, I actually felt that the situation was pretty good now.
Out of some kind of fear or nervousness, no one came forward to greet us along the way, until a familiar girl appeared in front of us: Anurili.
