As expected, there was a reason for my irritation this evening. Originally, I thought it was because of the bad luck from my meeting with Aresta, but I didn't expect that a man's sixth sense was just as strong.
The moment I returned to the research center, I saw a figure that I hadn't seen for a long time in the living room: a certain yuri girl with two ponytails, Osaka Mikoto's junior, Shirai Kuroko.
Although she was a frequent visitor, due to her work as a member of the Morals and Discipline Committee, Shirai Kuroko was busy patrolling or volunteering in various communities most of the time. She hadn't come over for a few days, but I didn't expect that she would choose this time to play … Er, it didn't seem like she was here to play …
"Hey, Kuroko, long time no see."
I greeted her familiarly. After spending so much time together, we were quite familiar with each other, and it was normal for us to call each other by name. Of course, this probably had something to do with our identities as "creatures from another dimension" …
A young girl full of fantasies would always want to play with aliens. Captain can testify — I've gone off topic.
"Ah, it's Uncle Director … Sorry, sorry, it's a habit. Brother Director, right?"
You did it on purpose!
I took the iced red tea that Shallow Shallow passed to me and gulped it down. I let out a long breath and shook off the burning sensation on my body. Then, I sat beside Kuroko. "Speaking of which, the Morals and Discipline Committee seems to be unusually busy these few days. This morning, when Lei and the others came over, you and Chu Chun didn't appear … The aftermath of the Fantasy Driver incident? Hasn't it been resolved yet? "
I didn't think that it would have been better if I hadn't brought up this topic. The moment I brought it up, the young girl in front of me immediately started to spew out resentment. Back then, when my older sister was studying the Beacon of Calamity by herself in a corner, I had never seen such a large amount of black mist!
"What … happened?"
I spoke carefully, afraid that I would agitate this yuri girl's rapidly burning nerve cells.
"It's all because of a certain bastard's fault …" Shirai Kuroko lowered her head, her knuckles turning white from using too much force. "It's all because of a bastard who mysteriously appeared in Gakuen City!!"
"These few days, almost all of the Morals and Discipline Committee's holidays were canceled. We've been working overtime to investigate a pirate gang that suddenly appeared in Gakuen City!!"
The girl with immense resentment completely exploded, and she suddenly roared in grief and indignation.
Then, I was a Spartan …
"Pirate … gang?"
I felt my voice trembling, and I could vaguely feel thunder rumbling three feet above my head.
Hei Zi slumped weakly on the table, speaking in a muffled voice, "Ah, a pirate gang. I don't know where they came from, and we don't even know if their members are students or adults working here. Their whereabouts are unknown, and they appear and disappear unpredictably. They sell pirated audio and video products and fake watches in every corner of the campus, and they even read palms of lost youths. Recently, they even unified the three commercial streets near the 11th district. Oh my god, is our disciplinary committee going to die of exhaustion from this kind of work?"
Shiranui Kuroko looked up at the sky and sighed. When Chu Bawang committed suicide, he might not have been as sad as she was.
My scalp tingled as I asked, "Then … did you find any clues?"
"Ah, there is a little bit of that. Their core members all wear black suits and sunglasses, and their main business is the distribution of pirated discs … But there are all kinds of organizations in the campus city, and security guards and attendants dressed like that are everywhere. We can't just because they wear suits … Eh? Brother Director, your expression is so strange … "
"Hei Zi, don't be impatient."
I smiled and pressed the little girl who came over with concern back to her seat. Then, I turned my head and roared.
"Special forces!!! Bring that prodigal Sicarro back for me!!! "
He was able to set up his own pirate network in less than a week in the campus city, and he even expanded his business to the point of reading palms, causing the entire campus city's security system to be exhausted. Sicarro, Sicarro, you … you really are a f * cking talent! I finally understood how dozens of European countries felt when they united to expel him. If it was me, I would have made that day a national day!
I couldn't bear to look back at how subtle Hei Zi's expression was when she looked at me after all the truth was revealed. My image in this girl's heart that was already falling because I was too close to Mikoto would probably completely collapse from then on.
"Boss, do you have any other orders?"
After I finally coaxed Hei Zi, who was about to fight Sicarro to the death like an angry kitten, away, a certain Uncle Hei Zi, who was selling plates, actually had the face to stand in front of me and ask for instructions!
Shallow Shallow and I both looked completely defeated as we leaned against the sofa weakly. Hearing Sicarro's words, Shallow Shallow waved at him, "Just don't go out and cause trouble for the next few days."
Sicarro immediately smiled and took out a treasure from his black leather bag. It was bright and dazzling, "It just so happens that traditional culture has been promoted recently. I will be studying this for the next few days. I can also expand my business when I go back."
A large number of longevity little gold lockets — iron plated with copper!
At this moment, I heard rhythmic footsteps from the side. In this collective group of idlers, there was only one person who had such clear rhythmic and powerful footsteps, Little Scorpion Vega.
Looking at this Hei Zi Zi in front of me — this was the difference, this was the comparison!
"Sir, news from the information center!"
"Just say the good news and forget about the bad news."
I said without turning back because I wasn't in a good mood.
Vega nodded, turned around and left.
Hey! You're really leaving?
I quickly called back this stubborn scorpion who didn't know where to turn and asked her what kind of news she had brought.
Vega took out a projection board that was constantly updating information and placed it in front of me and Shallow Shallow. Immediately, a large pile of complicated data and geometric shapes appeared on the coffee table. He then explained to us in detail, "Around thirty minutes ago, Mother Lin Xue predicted the appearance of a fragment of the star ring."
Shallow Shallow and I immediately became serious. After waiting for so long, what was supposed to come had finally come.
"What's on this?"
Shallow Shallow asked curiously as she pointed at the constantly changing patterns and specks of light on the holographic projection.
"Based on Mother Lin Xue's prediction, we have observed the gravitational states of a few main suspicious points in space. We have also sent several space warp probes to further locations where the gravitational anomaly has occurred. Currently, we can confirm that there are at least two to four such points that could threaten Earth. Here are their gravitational values, and below that is the curvature of the corresponding regions. When the fragment of the star ring jumped from the Void Plane to the Material Plane, these two values were the first to change. Now, they are showing abnormal fluctuations."
"In other words, the fragment hasn't appeared yet?"
"Yes, it takes some time to enter the Material Plane from the Void Plane. Moreover, these points are quite far from Earth. The furthest one is almost a light-year away …"
"A light-year?" I raised my eyebrows. "Light needs a year to travel. How long would it take for a fragment to travel from there to Earth? We can send a fleet to intercept it in advance. "
"It would be great if it was that smooth, Blockhead. We are in big trouble this time."
Following such a voice, Lin Xue walked over from the side.
"I saw something terrible. You'd better prepare to mobilize the entire Empire fleet."
Looking at Lin Xue's serious and tired expression, I became nervous. "What did you see?"
"The future has changed, and it is developing in a worse direction. The fragment didn't directly enter this universe. Instead, it first passed through a neighboring plane and split into three parts. Then … it brought us this."
As Lin Xue spoke, she placed a small crystal into the slot of the projector on the coffee table. This small device was the latest product that Tawil had sent over yesterday. As a high-precision mental wave decoder, it could convert what Lin Xue saw in her prophecy into an image. After processing it, Lin Xue made some adjustments to it based on the characteristics of her own mental wave, allowing the output of this thing to reach a high-definition blue ray.
"What is this? A sun? "
Looking at the huge fireball displayed on the screen, I said uncertainly.
"Fifty percent correct, but it is another star."
Lin Xue took a deep breath and continued, "The first part of the fragment is at the core of this star. I don't know where the fragment went before entering this universe to pick up such a dangerous thing, but it is obvious that it has affected this star. This thing's mass is almost 327 times that of the sun, and the liquid iron at its core is surging violently under the agitation of the abyss energy. The entire star is in a state of complete madness. The first part of the fragment will bring this huge bomb from the furthest place — about 1.6 billion kilometers away from the outermost gravitational zone of the solar system — directly into the main material plane. Don't think that this distance is very far. For such a huge star, this distance is enough for its gravitational field to wreak havoc."
I didn't really understand what she was saying. "In other words, in no time, a new huge sun will appear next to the solar system, and then …"
"Then, the gravitational tide of the new star will begin to churn the entire solar system into a mess. This is the best estimate. The worst case scenario is that there is a ring fragment filled with Abyssal energy in the stomach of the new sun. The stronger the object that the Abyssal energy is attached to, the more terrifying the damage it can cause. A real big explosion will occur next to the solar system. In the future that I saw, the star will collapse in the second month, and the entire solar system will be burned into a sea of fire. It is as if its only purpose for coming here is to destroy Earth."
"Alright, alright." I held my forehead. "I know there are two more parts. Continue."
Lin Xue pressed the fast forward button and skipped through a bunch of undecipherable images. What appeared before us was a dark planet.
"This planet is 1.5 times the size of Earth, and its main composition is heavy metals. Hence, its mass is almost 10 times that of Earth. The second part of the star ring fragment is inserted at its equator, which makes this honest big guy very angry. It will directly jump into the orbit of Mars. Of course, it won't crash into Mars. Next, it will completely violate the laws of physics and head straight for Earth. Then, it will directly crash into Earth, turning Earth into the last train to the sun. The good news is that humans won't be burned to death by the sun, but the bad news is that all humans will die before that."
"This is the third part, an asteroid belt, which is also the part that I can't understand the most. The third part of the star ring fragment is located right in the middle of the asteroid belt. Through non-contact radiation, it infects every asteroid with Abyss energy. The meteor swarm is the last batch to arrive, and also the most difficult to deal with. There are a lot of them, and they directly appeared in Earth's orbit, so there is no time to snipe them one by one. That's right, they surrounded Earth the moment they appeared, and then bombarded us for more than three days. The power of each of them is equivalent to several tactical nuclear bombs. Blockhead, what do you want to say now?"
"… How much resentment did Visca have when he evacuated Earth that he actually dragged an entire galaxy to destroy a planet?"
Lin Xue shrugged and turned off the projector. "Do you still remember the time when Visca went crazy?"
"Right now, the fragments that I'm watching seem to indicate something. That was the day when the star ring fragment appeared. At the very least, at that moment, the star ring fragment had already established a connection with this universe. Then, Visca went berserk."
"As the embodiment of Visca's spirit, the loyal Star Ring still remembers its mission. After receiving the crazy order from its former master, it immediately upgraded its original terrorist activities to a strategic level. That is why it was so late, and when it appeared, it brought its entire family with it. If the timing was slightly different, the recovery of the star ring fragment would have been completed long ago. Blockhead, we have a good sister …"
I was dumbfounded after hearing this, and then cold sweat appeared on my forehead. "Don't let Visca know about this, or that girl will be stuck in a dead end again."
Right now, there were a total of three dangers that we had to face. Fine, you could say that there was only one danger. A certain star ring fragment that had entered a paranoid state was determined to destroy the entire Earth in two or three months. It sent a sun that was about to explode, a planet that was completely made of heavy metals that was traveling at high speed, and thousands of meteor ruffians that were armed to the teeth. If any of them touched Earth, everything would be over.
We sent all this information to the shadow city, where the real expert was. Sandora. Compared to Pandora, who only knew how to fight wars, Sandora, who was the ruler of Earth, was much more knowledgeable. Perhaps she would have a way to help us deal with these things despite the extreme lack of external help. However, the result didn't seem too optimistic. Tawil used a lot of theories to tell us that there was no other way except to extradite all the humans on Earth.
When I told the dedicated female scientist that we had to save as many as seven billion people on Earth, she directly recommended a bomb called "EOP-03" to me. The biggest feature of this thing was that it could explode quickly, spread quickly, and had high energy and strong radiation. Performing euthanasia on the entire planet could effectively reduce your sense of guilt.
"The asteroid belt is the easiest one to deal with." In the video conference, Sandora analyzed with a serious expression. "We can build a special joint fleet that can support the defense shield of the entire planet. Coupled with the super skill of the pirate trafficker, Sicarro, that can double the defense of the army, it won't be a problem to withstand the bombardment of asteroids for five days. Furthermore, we can also collect a lot of resources that may be useful. Sorry, it's an occupational disease. The second easiest one to deal with is the planet that appeared in the orbit of Mars. Although it is troublesome to manufacture anti-planet weapons, one month is enough to use them. Lin Xue predicted that they would only appear one after another after two months, right? As soon as it appears, we will blow it up. Then, what we need to deal with is to calm the gravitational turbulence. We only need some high-power independent gravity devices. But this … this star that intends to self-destruct next to the solar system … We don't have enough powerful weapons now, and we don't have time to manufacture that thing. Even if we work overtime to create the star annihilation system, we can't use it. A star with a mass equivalent to more than three hundred times that of the sun, its own gravitational field is a huge threat. You can never imagine the result of such a big guy being destroyed near the solar system. Even its existence alone is enough to distort the orbits of all the planets in the entire solar system. "
"In other words, with our current fleet, we can only resist the attack of the asteroid group and the impact of the heavy metal planet, but we can't do anything about the deadliest star?"
The elder sister asked with a worried expression.
Vega, who was on the side, explained, "Sir, it's not that we can't destroy a star of that scale, but we can't detonate it while ensuring that the solar system nearby is unharmed. We lack the necessary special warships, gravitational isolation ships, and electromagnetic isolation devices of sufficient power. Their key technologies are not in our hands."
The information center was silent.
I didn't expect that the mission of saving the world, which I thought would be a simple one, would lead to such a huge problem in the end. The former fallen apostles who had become ordinary people were already troubling enough. Now, we even had to deal with a group of stars!
But we absolutely can't give up …
I admit that I'm a person who is easily moved by emotions. I'm a hopelessly kind person. Therefore, I can't accept watching the humans of this world perish without doing anything.
Moreover, it would be because of my own sister. I didn't even dare to let Visca know about this. She has always blamed herself for what she had done. I can't imagine how depressed she would be when she finds out about all this.
But how should I put it? Although this sentence sounds rather melodramatic, it's the truth. A sudden turnaround often appears in a difficult situation.
A sharp, thin voice suddenly rang in my ear without warning. It was full of vitality and six plus signs of sugar. "Ah! Ah Jun, you're really here! Jingle's spatial sensing ability is really amazing! Ah Jun, Ah Jun! What are you guys playing here? "
Jingle! Our god is back!
How could I forget to bring in a foreign aid? What a good cheat!
