Icetis sorted out the chaotic power in Antil's body through external interference. Antil had become a state that was neither divine nor human due to a rash infusion of divine power two thousand years ago. She had even lost her self-awareness. Now, with Icetis' help, she was gradually waking up from the state of chaos she had been in for two thousand years. When Antil woke up again, she would no longer be an ancient soul driven by obsession, nor would she be a mixture of ambiguous forms. She would "legally" possess divinity from now on, and she would be reborn as a divine servant under the name of Bryndis.
Several pairs of eyes fell on the same spot. Everyone watched the process nervously. Although I knew that Icetis would not drop the ball in such a situation, I could not help but feel nervous. Needless to say, Jingle poked her little head out of my pocket. That little thing had already bitten off more than a third of my buttons … It seemed that Three-Inch Nail's habit of biting things when he was nervous was incurable.
Everything went smoothly. There were no more twists and turns for the blockhead to wait for more than two thousand years. The stiff expression on Antil's face quickly became lively at a speed visible to the naked eye. The pair of eyes that were filled with white hot light and had no pupils at all slowly became clear again. With a smile on his face, Bryndis let go of his hand from Antil's head, letting the vengeful soul, who was previously restless, move freely. To everyone's delight, Antil did not rush to the abyssal seal this time. Instead, she made a very human gesture: she looked down at her hands and then slapped her cheeks hard. This action, which could only be done when one's humanity had the upper hand, made everyone smile. She had woken up.
"Antil …" Blockhead stared blankly at the girl in front of him who was still glowing. Although her demigod appearance was still there, her temperament had obviously changed greatly. Blockhead might have also felt a sense of familiarity that he had not felt for two thousand years. Blockhead's silly face did not know whether to laugh or cry. He just said three words in a daze and did not dare to say the second half of the sentence. It was as if he was afraid that if his voice was too loud, he would wake up the scene in front of him like a dream.
Hearing the voice beside her, Antil seemed to wake up from a long dream. She blinked in confusion and turned to look at the big man beside her. She immediately smiled. "Big Blockhead! "Big Idiot, why are you crying?"
I didn't know when the Blood Princess had silently retreated to the side. She was now explaining in a low voice that sounded like she was muttering to herself, "Among the four of us, only Antil called Brother Caveman 'Blockhead', from the first day they met until now … So, when I created a dream for Brother Caveman in the surface world, I realized that he, who had lost his memories, instinctively named himself Blockhead. I knew that I would never be able to replace Antil's position … Never."
Lin Xue tilted her head slightly and looked at the cat princess. Her tone suddenly became a little strange. "Hey, Blackie, don't give up just because you love a one-track minded guy. Love is something that you have to work hard for. I almost missed it back then."
I smiled awkwardly and thought to myself, "Why do I feel so awkward when I'm compared to this blockhead?" Lin Xue rolled her eyes at him without batting an eyelid. It was hard to tell if she was talking to herself or someone else. "Fortunately, that piece of wood wasn't solid. I don't want to suffer like this unlucky little black cat."
I took it as a compliment. At least it was a psychological consolation prize …
At this time, the blockhead had already gone through the initial confusion and ecstasy. After calming down, he began to think of ways to explain to Antil what had happened in the years that Antil had been asleep. But how could the straightforward and inarticulate blockhead think of a way to start? He scratched his head and stammered for a long time, not knowing where to start. Antil frowned and looked at him in confusion. "Big Idiot, what's wrong with you? Do you want to go hunting again? Didn't you just … Eh? Where are we? "
Antil then noticed that the surroundings were very strange. She looked around in surprise and did not see any familiar figures. Instead, she found a group of strangers. "Lily, you're here too … But where are the others? Where's my brother? Did he go out with Sister Sonya again? Are these people guests? Why are we in a cave … Oh, I remember, this is the underground of the barbarian palace. There's a ceremony today. " As she said, Antil jumped twice briskly. "But I feel strange. It seems that my body has recovered. The cold feeling is gone … Ah! What is this?! "
The human girl who was gradually waking up was startled by the wings behind her. She screamed and ran around Blockhead only to find that she could not get rid of the white light. She scratched her head. "It seems to grow on my back? Big Idiot, help me see if it's growing on my back! "
So Antil was a rather lively girl. When I saw her expressionless face earlier, I really didn't expect her to be like this after she recovered her human nature. Although I still didn't understand her character, such a lively, cheerful, and outgoing girl couldn't be a bad person. I could see a faint shadow of myself in her. My intuition and experience told me that a simple-minded person wouldn't be that bad after all …
Icetis walked to Antil and coughed softly. Antil immediately turned her head and looked at the goddess with black wings on her back with a strange expression on her face. "You have wings too … That's strange. I don't think I've seen you before. Why do I feel so familiar?"
Before Icetis could speak, Antil quickly circled around her. "It indeed feels so familiar. It's a bit like being by my mother's side … Are you my long-lost mother?"
Everyone present was dumbfounded. I slapped my forehead and then poked Shallow Shallow's arm. "Girl, that might be your long-lost sister …"
"Now shut up and listen to me quietly!" Icetis looked at the faint smile on everyone's faces and instantly got angry. The moment the female hoodlum's aggressive aura appeared, no one dared to speak anymore. "Antil, right? From now on, you will follow me. From now on, you will be one of the Servants of God. You still have three other colleagues in this world. I will introduce them to you when the time comes. Now let's start from two thousand years ago. Actually, you have been asleep for more than two thousand years … The black cat over there also came to help. You know the history here better than I do. "
While Icetis and the Blood Princess were explaining to Antil how many things had happened in the past two thousand years, the purification ritual on Alaya's side had already ended. The dark sealed space no longer had that unpleasant aura leaking out. The howling monsters also obtained peace in the baptism of light. The demonic power that had plagued the two planets for thousands of years had been removed just like that. Big Idiot still felt that it was a little unreal. He looked at the "demonic cave" that was no different from an ordinary cave and looked at Antil, who was listening to the story with her eyes wide open. Big Idiot's face was filled with shock. "It … it's over? Everything is finally over? "
"Yup, it's over. From now on, there will be no more demonic power. There will also be no Dark Moon War or Dark Moon Demons. Reedmunn and Heisenwood can rest and recuperate." I chuckled and looked at Big Idiot. "Then, you can finally reunite with your wife. However, I feel that there are still many things for you to do. We are only responsible for cleaning up the Abyss and restoring order. As for the aftermath of your race's internal affairs, it's not our place to interfere. That will fall to the 'Four Heroes' from back then. "
"It's enough, it's enough …" Big Idiot muttered to himself as he slapped his head. "This is unreal. This is too unreal. I have to go back and think about it properly. Right! Then you still have to leave, right? What about Antil? She's going back with you too, right? "
Big Idiot suddenly thought that Antil was no longer a mortal. She, who possessed divinity, would most likely return to the God Realm with the Gods. It was no wonder that he thought that way. After all, in many worlds, humans generally thought that the Gods were a group of beings that were high up and untouchable. They couldn't imagine what it would be like to live together with the Gods. The boss of the small supermarket near my house still didn't know that the beautiful lady who went to her place every week for discounted eggs was actually a Dark Goddess …
"Antil will probably be left behind." I thought for a while and tried to make a judgment based on the female rogue's temperament. "Icetis and her God Servant will only meet each other when they go out to destroy other people's businesses. Icetis is a boss who doesn't do anything. As for normal times … She has a way to cross worlds to check on her God Servant's status anyway. "
"This world is on the frontline," Miss Lin suddenly said leisurely from the side.
I was momentarily stunned. Then, I suddenly recalled this matter. I was completely immersed in my good mood that the dust had settled. I almost forgot that the frontline of the Fallen Apostles was right outside this universe!
This wasn't the Empire District, but an ungoverned zone where enemies could clash with each other at any time. Neither the Fallen Apostles nor the Imperial Army dared to set up any sovereign facilities in this world. Now that our group was going to return to the capital world very soon, what about the people on Redermoen and Heisenwood? More importantly, there was still Antil. How could this God Servant, who had suddenly advanced, be left in an ungoverned zone? Icetis could check on her God Servant's status across worlds, but I reckoned that this universe had already exceeded her service area …
"This is troublesome … If it really doesn't work, we can only consider moving the people of this world bit by bit to the Empire District." I frowned as I pondered. "In any case, we definitely can't open a teleportation door that's too big. If the Fallen Apostles find out, they will definitely blow up this universe until nothing is left."
In any case, no matter how I thought about it, we definitely couldn't just leave the people of this world behind. Strictly speaking, the residents of these two planets were considered victims that needed to be compensated. Even if we didn't care, Icetis would definitely stay behind to clean up the mess in their star field. Furthermore, from a personal point of view, I couldn't just turn around and leave — this wasn't in line with the style of the New Empire.
But how were we going to move so many people? Putting aside the question of whether there were other intelligent races in this universe, just these refugees that had been tormented by the Abyss for two thousand years were already a rather large group. Even if it was just moving the population and the ecosphere, it would still be a huge project. The Fallen Apostles' scanning of this universe was extremely accurate. I reckoned that the moment the world gate was opened, it would attract tens of thousands of Abyss fleets.
But very quickly, I knew that I didn't have to worry about how to hide it anymore, because an urgent report from the Void Observatory's main defense center rang in our minds at the same time. "Reporting, sir! The Fallen Apostles are behaving abnormally. We have detected a large number of scanning signals focusing on the EN-088C material universe! We have detected signs of coordinates guiding near the enemy's outpost! The enemy might be mobilizing their fleet! I repeat, the probability of the Fallen Apostles mobilizing their fleet is over 80%! Please evacuate immediately, please evacuate immediately! "
"What the f * ck!" Icetis, who was not far away, suddenly let out a strange cry.
Antil, who had just finished listening to the story, was shocked. She looked at Bindis nervously and asked, "What did I do wrong?"
"It's none of your business." Icetis waved her hand, then ran over in a few steps. "Chen, those lunatics seem to have discovered us!"
At first, I was a little surprised. Then, I remembered that Icetis was also one of the Shiring Apostles. Moreover, she was the highest leader of an entire branch race (a single race, Icetis). That was why, as a high-ranking apostle, she had also heard the alarm from the private network.
"Calm down, calm down first. This place is very far from the Fallen Apostles' territory. It will take some time for them to send their army over." I did my best to calm myself down. Fortunately, I had come into contact with many great storms in the past two years. When faced with this kind of unexpected situation, I was already as calm as a veteran masochist. At this moment, I suddenly recalled what Miss Lin had said to me not too long ago.
How are you going to steal a world from under the Fallen Apostles' noses?
I looked at the prophet, who had turned her head away and pretended not to know anything, with a face full of regret. "Why didn't you say that you were counting back then?"
"Anyway, it doesn't matter if I said it or not. My hint was already direct enough." Lin Xue smacked her lips. "Don't tell me that you didn't take my warning seriously at all. Tell me about your plan."
I was speechless. The strange tacit understanding between Miss and me was really … Anyway, we could always unconditionally know what the other party was thinking. This was probably a necessary skill for a couple.
"Alright, I really do have a plan. In fact, I had already started preparing for it a few days ago." I let out a long sigh, then nodded. "This is all because of Sandora's influence. We have to prepare for the worst. Let's blow up this universe."
Everyone looked at us as though we were looking at an alien.
I quickly waved my hand. "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. I didn't say that we would really blow it up. Think about it, under what circumstances would the Fallen Apostles not care about tracking the direction of a few galaxies?"
"Direction of a few galaxies?" Icetis was a sly old fox. She had a lot of experience. She could tell what I was planning with just a few keywords. "You only intend to bring away the intelligent creatures of this world?"
"Moving a world that is on the line of fire back to its home in front of the Fallen Apostles? I can't do something as stupid as that." I shrugged. "We are going to use an accident to destroy this universe. After that, we will split it into pieces. The inhabited pieces can take advantage of the chaos and float towards the Empire District. The other pieces will float towards the territory of the Fallen Apostles. Anyway, everything that happens in the instant when the universe collapses will be chaotic. This world happens to be on the border between the Empire and the Abyss Empire. So, the enemy won't notice where a few pieces of the world have drifted to. I reckon that the Fallen Apostles are not sure of our existence. They are just a little wary of what is happening in this world. Before they are completely exposed, we will use the end of the world to cover up the truth here. "
"How can you be so confident that the Fallen Apostles don't know the specific situation of this world?" Icetis glanced at me. "They have already begun to mobilize their troops."
"It is precisely because they have begun to mobilize their troops that I can determine that they are only suspicious of this world and don't know what we are doing." I smacked my lips. "No matter what, I have fought with those fellows for a few years. I more or less have some understanding of their temperament. When there is a lack of information, they will send out thousands of troops to directly destroy the target and solve the problem once and for all. When the situation is clear, they will send out just the right elite troops to resolve the crisis. This is also the tradition of the old Empire. A high degree of efficiency and a crude and direct military operation go hand in hand. Right now, they only want to deal with the few of us. If they really know the situation here, then they should send a group of combat elites over. Do you think it is appropriate to send a fleet to capture a few leader-level apostles? Although the combat power of a fleet is strong, it will make it easier for us to take advantage of the chaos and escape. "
Icetis widened her eyes as she listened to my methodical analysis of the entire matter. Her gaze gave me goosebumps. My hands trembled as I looked at the female pervert. "Why is your gaze so sharp all of a sudden?"
"I never thought that there would be a time when you look so reliable. Usually, the one doing the military analysis is Sandora. You seem to be in charge of dozing off at the side."
I thought for a moment and flew into a rage. "You are looking down on my military accomplishments!"
"What bloody military accomplishments do you have?" Miss Lin ruthlessly threw a sentence at me from the side. "Aren't you just used to being pressured by the enemy's army a few times?"
"At the very least, I won every time."
Brendel patted my shoulder and said, "Alright, let's cut the crap. Time is limited. Tell me your plan. How to operate it. How to divide the world. Destroying this universe is simple. After I open it up, I can make it disintegrate with a single command. However, this will definitely be a direct declaration of war against the Fallen Apostles. "
"Of course not," I said, rubbing my chin, trying to think of a way to articulate my almost fantastical plan. "That would fall to you. Icetis, you still have an Abyss form, right? "
Yes, Icetis still had an Abyss form. Even though this female pervert had never revealed her Abyss form in front of anyone ever since that bastard punch a few years ago, it was as though the Abyss on her body had been cleanly dispelled. However, the Empire currently had a large number of Abyss apostles. Sandora and Visca were also Abyss apostles. These special life forms made me certain of one thing: Icetis could also return to the state she had when she had just escaped from the Abyss Gate. Just like the Abyss Sandora.
"Use your Abyss form to tear apart this universe." I snapped my fingers. "Let the Fallen Apostles think that this is a normal opening of the Abyss."
