The destruction of our homeworld might have something to do with a mysterious super civilization. This was a bold conjecture that Father and I came up with after considering a lot of evidence. However, a conjecture was just a conjecture. There was no evidence that could directly prove that the super civilization that left behind traces of our homeworld had caused the destruction of our homeworld. Sandora could naturally think of this as well. So, when she heard the news, she maintained her usual calm.
Although it is important to find out the truth about our homeworld, there are priorities. Right now, we are facing an even more urgent situation: The Fallen Apostle is still stirring up trouble. If we don't get rid of this great trouble that is right in front of us, even if we know where the coordinates of our homeworld are, I'm afraid we still won't dare to rashly divert our attention to investigate.
"It's good to know that the Protoss's side is progressing smoothly." Sandora subconsciously drew circles on the table with her finger. "Other than that, regarding the joint operation, let's observe the situation first. If the Fallen Apostles don't really rush over, then we'll follow Father's suggestion. We'll wait for a period of time for the enemy to lower their guard. Then, we'll let the Protoss fight at the front while we attack from behind. Anyway, the Protoss's strength is strong. They are the most suitable vanguard. "
Icetis muttered at the side, "Why does it sound like we, the Protoss, are the first to rush out and deal with the landmines …"
Sandora and I exchanged glances. At the same time, Icetis and I nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's exactly what I meant!"
The female gangster was dumbfounded. "F * ck, the two of you actually shamelessly admitted it … Does Father know that you guys are such a troublemaker?"
"We originally discussed it with him." I rolled my eyes at Icetis. "The Protoss's strength is strong. Moreover, they are the first victims of this ambush. So, it's only natural for them to go out and fight at the front. The Imperial Army's reaction speed is fast and they are good at surprise attacks. So, attacking from behind is a tactic. Dealing with landmines is a common saying …"
After saying that, I didn't care if Icetis had anything else to say and turned my head towards Sandora. "One last thing, regarding the foundation of the God Realm …"
After that, I told Sandora about the situation of the Chaos Abyss that I had seen at the base of the Gods' world, as well as Father God's research results on the Chaos Abyss. I also emphasized on the "stagnant" state of that abnormal space. Before this, I had never told anyone about this matter. Even the female pervert who had stayed with me in the Gods' world for two days didn't know about it. Thus, everyone present, including Icetis, was instantly attracted over. In her astonishment at this great truth, the female pervert even forgot that she was busy arguing with me.
Sandora had been frowning as I explained the situation of the Ancient Abyss. She only looked up when I finished. "So, what lies beneath the Ancient Abyss Gate isn't like the normal environment of the Chaos Abyss at all?"
"If the Chaos Abyss is like magma, the bottom of the Ancient Abyss Gate is like a magma cave that has cooled and solidified." I nodded. "Also, there is no phenomenon of 'discontinuity' in that space. My initial guess is that it is independent from the normal Chaos Abyss."
"Wait, wait." Sandora raised her hand to indicate that she needed to think for a while. "I feel that something is not quite right … Oh right, I remember now. Didn't the Gods salvage a beacon from the 'civilization on the other side'? That beacon floated up from the base of the Gods' world. If the bottom of the Ancient Abyss Gate is an independent space, how did the beacon of the civilization on the other side emerge from there? How did it get in before? "
As expected, Sandora also thought of this problem. This was also one of the most inexplicable situations regarding the Ancient Abyss Gate. I scratched my chin and slowly explained my opinion. "I have been thinking about this for a long time. Since that space is sealed, it should be isolated from the civilization on the other side. The origin of the beacon that the Protoss salvaged is very problematic. But I remember that when I was discussing with God Father, we mentioned that the closed state of that space is not complete. Its entrance, which is the Ancient Abyss Gate, is the only open point. The Ancient Abyss Gate itself is a two-dimensional plane, and it is completely unrestricted by the various spatial laws of the real world. Perhaps this is the reason why when the Ancient Abyss Gate opens, it will 'pull' things that should have come out from the other gates."
"That is also possible. After all, the spatial nature of the Ancient Abyss Gate is unknown. But I still feel that something is wrong." Sandora shook her head. "If that's the case, then the Ancient Abyss Gate is connected to the other Ancient Abyss Gates. It should have 'pulled' the contamination of the other Ancient Abyss Gates over as well. But the truth is that until now, the Ancient Abyss Gate has been unprecedentedly stable. It is placed at the base of the Gods' world, and there is almost no danger at all."
"Erm, let me interrupt." Icetis lay lazily on the table, only turning her face towards Sandora and I. "Before that beacon 'appeared', the Ancient Abyss Gate at the base of the Gods' world had a strange movement. At that time, God Father noticed that the Ancient Abyss Gate suddenly moved and showed signs of opening, so he sent people down to investigate the situation and salvaged the beacon. In other words, the space below the Ancient Abyss Gate is indeed sealed now, but it might have been opened during the 'strange movement'. Or it could be a one-way seal. If we observe it from this side, it might be sealed, but it might be open on the other side. "
"The other side?" Sandora raised her eyebrows. "Which side?"
Icetis stretched her back. "The civilization on the other side. The beacon was sent over by the civilization on the other side. Maybe to them, all the Ancient Abyss Gates here are the same. There is no difference in inertia, cooling, stability, and activity. They just randomly found a gate and threw the beacon over. Of course, this is all my wild guess. I won't take any responsibility."
Icetis was just making wild guesses, but Sandora was obviously taking it seriously. "I think this guess is very possible. After all, many rules in the Abyss will be invalid. Also, no one knows what kind of existence the civilization on the other side is, and what form the world and the Abyss are in their eyes … How about this, I will let Tawil organize another group of scientists to go over. God Father also has plans to invite the Empire to study his basement. Let's try to understand the situation of that strange space."
And so, this last matter was decided. Now, we could only wait for the results. It seemed meaningless to continue wasting our brain cells here. Besides, Icetis was lying there half-dead … Sandora and I decided to go home first.
We waited at home for half a day. Other than the group of children who were completely inactive and the little spirits who were focused on taking care of the children and housework, everyone else was waiting for the latest news from the frontlines. They were waiting for the Fallen Apostle to go crazy again. They were waiting for the confirmation that the other side would either fight or retreat. Even an all-out war would be better than hanging around like this, right? In the end, we waited all the way until the afternoon. The Abyss was calm and peaceful.
The Fallen Apostle's army had already scattered and retreated inland. The Garden of Departed World and the frontlines' reconnaissance troops used their maximum power to survey the situation, but they did not find any signs of the enemy's army gathering again. The three consecutive and vigorous army regrouping and scattering and retreating seemed like a farce. Even the final conclusion was baffling. Several of the Imperial Army's armies and an even larger number of defense troops were awkwardly left hanging at the border. The Fallen Apostle did not even let out a fart …
The war of the Shiring Apostles had always been a high-speed war. From the declaration of war to the gathering of the army, it would usually be completed within a few hours. However, now that half a day had passed, the Fallen Apostle's side was still not stirring up any dust. This was already quite illogical. However, on the Imperial Army's side, no one dared to relax. Under Sandora's death order, the frontline troops still maintained a high level of vigilance. The defense troops and various levels of space control departments sealed off the universe at the border so that not even a drop of water could trickle through. The macro world network was still in a state of Level 2 alert. The Garden of Departed World system even canceled the next shutdown and self-examination plan. According to Sandora's order, this situation would continue for a few more days, at least until the Abyss Independent Regiment's intelligence unit made new progress.
Icetis had nothing to do at home for half a day. This female rogue looked carefree, but she was definitely in a state of high vigilance like everyone else. She was the kind of person who would help her friends when they were in trouble. I had no doubt about that. However, at the same time, Icetis was a person who seriously lacked patience. After the Fallen Apostle's side did not make a move for a long time, she started to get restless. She wandered around the living room like a ghost, wailing and howling, "Father above, why is there no follow-up? Just what kind of people are the Fallen Apostle's side? Do they want to f * cking end a war?"
I was playing chess with Uncle Kenser at the small table in the corner of the living room. There was incense burning and tea by my hand. The atmosphere was calm and elegant, completely different from the berserk female rogue Icetis. After Uncle Kenser placed a chess piece with a smile on his face, I looked up at Icetis and said, "Alright, calm down for a while. Do you really expect the Fallen Apostle to attack … Oh my, Senior's chess piece was really exquisite. It seems that I have lost this round again. This time, I have lost wholeheartedly …"
Uncle Kenser smiled faintly. The five black pieces on the chessboard had already joined together and were unstoppable. Icetis rushed over, grabbed the tea beside my hand, and gulped down half the pot. Then, she looked at us from the corner of her eyes and said, "Let's play five-in-a-row. Look at how cocky you are."
"The main point of playing chess is not what you are playing, but the mood." I looked at Icetis seriously. "Father said something similar. Also, leave some for me. Those tea leaves were plucked from the World Tree … "
"Father is famous for being a terrible chess player in the Three Realms. You should learn from him." Icetis placed the teapot on the table. "Say, do you think the Fallen Apostle is still fighting?"
As I tidied up the chessboard, I said unhurriedly, "Now, I feel more and more that this isn't a conspiracy. It is just pure madness. If this is premeditated, then it can only be said that this conspiracy is a little too baffling. The Garden of Departed World has already scanned all the worlds at the border. They didn't find any traces of corruption. Now, we are just waiting for the other few waves of scouts that Halland sent out to report back. Sister, can you not go round and round like this? I think you're going to have double images soon … "
Icetis shrugged her shoulders indifferently, but she still obediently wandered to another place. She ran to go around in circles in front of Sandora …
Even though I said it so casually, in reality, no one could truly relax at this moment. The dolls at home seemed to know that something big was going to happen. Today, they were especially sensible and quiet. Little Bubble and the little doll threw two anti-infantry booby traps at each other and didn't make a fuss anymore.
Just like that, the day passed in a semi-depressing atmosphere. After that, it was another sleepless night.
The next morning, the sun rose as usual. There was no alarm from the data link. The news from the border was that everything was peaceful.
I carried the little doll on my shoulder and hung Little Bubble around my neck. I walked down from the second floor in a majestic manner. I followed the smell of food and ran to the dining room for breakfast. In a daze, I fed my daughter a few mouthfuls of food before I came to my senses. "Speaking of which, there really isn't any movement from the Fallen Apostle?"
"It seems that there really isn't any movement at the moment." Sandora had already finished her meal. She was holding the MDT in front of the window not far away, studying something. The morning sun shone through the window and shone on her blonde hair. It was as though she was wrapped in a pale golden halo. "I am looking at the tracking reports of the Abyss over the past month. I want to see if there is anything that we have missed."
I curiously stretched my neck and looked in her direction. Of course, I couldn't see anything. "Did you find anything?"
"During this period of time, the Fallen Apostle has been making more internal movements. Telemetry records show that there are large-scale fleets shuttling back and forth between their various worlds … However, these things are far from being 'suspicious'. They are all routine military movements, and they are not frequent enough to raise people's vigilance. Finally, there is a small discovery. In the seven days before the Fallen Apostle's attack on the Protoss's border, the frequency of activity of the Fallen Apostle had abnormally entered a low. Not only were there fewer signs of activity within the borders, even the change of guards at the border was less than usual. "
With a big roll in my mouth, I wandered behind Sandora and asked, "What do you think this means? That the Fallen Apostle was holding back his big move to attack the Protoss? "
When Sandora smelled the fragrance of the roll, she immediately turned her head. With lightning speed, Jingle grabbed my breakfast and took two bites. When she returned the rest of the roll, the fist-sized roll had already shrunk to the size of a crescent moon. Then, she swallowed it with all her might as she explained to me (it was really hard for her to speak in such a situation), "It can't prove anything. I just want to say that, actually, in the past month, there have been many seemingly inconspicuous small anomalies in the Abyss. None of these anomalies are worth making a fuss about. Even if you look at them together, they wouldn't be a threat. However, now that the Fallen Apostle has gone crazy, I can't help but take out all the low-alert reports that I discovered previously. Maybe they aren't isolated incidents. Behind these small anomalies, there might be a huge change in the Abyss. We have no way of directly detecting the detailed situation in the Abyss, so we can only slowly deduce it based on these clues."
I nodded. Just as I was about to say something, I suddenly heard Icetis's loud voice coming from the second floor. "Oh my god! News from the God Realm! This is big news! "
"What's wrong with that female pervert?" I looked up at the second floor and couldn't help but mutter. Sandora, however, stood up with a serious expression. "She doesn't look like she's crazy. When she's crazy, it's more serious than that."
At this moment, Icetis's figure had already appeared at the top of the stairs. Then, she swooped down like a gust of wind. The Fox Deity, who was lying on the last step of the stairs and yawning, sensed the approaching danger. Her hair immediately stood on end. But in the end, she couldn't dodge in time. I could only watch as the pitiful fox girl turned into a streak of yellow light and flew out of the open window …
A moment later, the sound of water splashing could be heard from the courtyard. The Fox Deity's flight was pretty accurate. She fell directly into the fountain that she had dug years ago.
"Ah, did you hit something just now?" Icetis was stunned in front of the stairs. Then, she shook her head nonchalantly. "Well, my family is full of tough fellows. Nothing bad will happen … Chen, Sandora, the God Realm has big news!"
I observed a moment of silence for the pitiful fox girl. Then, I focused my attention on Icetis. "The Fallen Apostle is charging towards the God Realm again? Let me remind the God Realm that the Fallen Apostle might be having a fit … "
"No," Icetis sat down next to Sandora. "The Protoss's scouts are already at the edge of the Abyss. They discovered that the Fallen Apostle is fighting with someone. It's full of activity!"
"Fighting with someone?" Sandora and I couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. We said in unison, "With who?!"
"I don't know yet." Icetis waved her hand. "After all, we are the same as you. We also have a remote sensing system for the Abyss. That place is heavily guarded. It's already not easy for the scouts to be able to monitor it from afar. Right now, we can only confirm that the Fallen Apostle has a large fleet gathered in a desolate area where even birds don't shit and are fighting in full swing. The energy reaction is definitely that of a war. Anyway, they wouldn't use apocalyptic energy to collectively set off fireworks, right? "
"Why didn't we notice this?" I glanced at Sandora. "Logically speaking, we should have seen such a huge commotion."
Before Sandora could say anything, Icetis looked at me with disdain. "Are you out of your mind? That is a region monitored by the God Realm. It doesn't overlap with your border. It's quite far away. In any case, this is a good opportunity. Father God is preparing to launch a surprise attack. Even if he doesn't directly enter the Abyss, he should at least cripple a few of their armies at the border. In addition, we have also sent people to take a roundabout route to find out who the Fallen Apostle is fighting with. If they are bullying mortals again, we have to hurry and save them. "
"So, the Fallen Apostle isn't continuing to have a fit at our border because he's being pinned down somewhere else?" I glanced at Sandora happily. "That's good news … Err, Sandora, what are you thinking about?"
I noticed that Sandora was frowning and deep in thought. I couldn't help but be curious.
"I suddenly feel that …" Sandora raised her head to look at Icetis and me. "Is the Fallen Apostle having an internal conflict?"
