An unprecedentedly powerful abyssal storm ravaged the entire space. The Empire's fleet had no choice but to activate their psionic shields at full power to resist the corrosion of this power. We were thankful for everything we could be thankful for. Our psionic resistance to the abyss and the minuscule amount of iron elements added to the ship's armor made it difficult for the abyssal energy to contaminate the Imperial Army. However, this temporary safety didn't make us feel any better.
"Damn it! We fell into a trap! "
After Ockham's voice disappeared, Sandora muttered angrily again. She waved her fist forcefully, and the surrounding space was instantly filled with ripples from the movement of her delicate hand. However, in less than two seconds, Sandora forced herself to calm down. The raging anger in her eyes was compressed to a tiny point, and was replaced by an incomparably solemn expression.
"Ah Jun, we just released a door to the abyss."
It was only then that Sandora resolved my doubts. She gave me a rather shocking piece of news that almost stunned me.
I followed Sandora's gaze and looked over. It was a holographic projection. It was slowly rewinding the scene before it stopped. It was the scene of the explosion of the King's Landing's core.
Behind the chaotic lines, there was an indistinct, irregular fragment. As I looked at it, it was magnified. It was actually a fragment of a star ring!
"That King's Landing … It has long been modified by someone! We know too little about the Fallen Apostle's Abyssal Schilling technology. They were actually able to use the core of the abyss to replace the King's Landing's core. Ockham used some unknown method to fool our detection and hid a fragment of a star ring there. That fragment was used as a carrier for the door to the abyss. After receiving a fatal attack, it wasn't destroyed. Instead, it exploded. His plan is almost foolproof. If we can't think of a way to break through the Gospel, the Empire's fleet will definitely be destroyed by the explosion of the black sun. If we can break through the Gospel, the door to the abyss will be released. No matter what we do, we will be helping the enemy achieve their goal. "
I was dumbfounded by Sandora's instantaneous deduction. After all this time, we were still within Ockham's calculations?
From the start of the Forbidden Magic World, just how big of a trap did that bastard design!?
Through our mental connection, I could sense the rage that Sandora was suppressing in her heart. The reason wasn't just because she had fallen into a trap, nor was it because she had suffered a failure. What she was truly angry about was that as the supreme Queen of Schilling, the noble and powerful Princess Warsong, she had been tricked to this extent by a schemer whose name she had never even heard before (according to Visca). This was absolutely intolerable to her!
However, this anger couldn't be released right now. That Fallen Apostle who was good at scheming knew how to protect himself. His main body wasn't here at all! From the beginning to the end, we were just entangled with his trap. Now, we can't even find a target to vent our anger on!
Sensing that Sandora was forcefully suppressing her anger, I stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, trying to comfort this arrogant girl who had just suffered a huge setback. Sandora calmed herself down, turned her head, and gave me a forced … er, silly smile …
It wasn't forced at all!! Where the hell did the furious Queen from earlier go, lass!!
"Being unable to control one's anger is an unforgivable weakness for a leader." Sandora took the opportunity to get closer to my embrace, lightly rubbing my cheeks. I could sense that the anger in her heart had actually been completely suppressed. Perhaps she had completely turned it into motivation?
"There will be a day when I will tear that arrogant fellow into pieces, but before that, we must resolve the danger before us … The power of the Abyss is currently still restrained by the Black Sun's chaotic laws, but breaking the restrictions of the Black Sun's laws is a technology that the Xiling Empire grasped a long time ago. Since we can easily enter the center of the sun, Ockham definitely has a way to make this pollution storm erupt from the Black Sun … When that time comes, just as he said, the power of the Abyss Storm will truly increase to the point where it can pollute the entire universe … How much time do we have?"
She said this last sentence to the air. I knew that Bubble had been waiting for our orders. As expected, the moment Sandora finished speaking, Bubble reported the results of his calculations. "Fifteen to twenty days. This is the minimum amount of time needed for the Black Sun to completely collapse and for the Abyss Storm to be strengthened to the point where it can pollute the entire universe. However, we can't eliminate the possibility that the Fallen Apostle grasped the Abyss technology to bring this time forward. Thus, we should still have around ten days. After ten days, the Black Sun will collapse, and the power of the Abyss will instantly sweep across the entire universe in the form of quantum radiation."
"Ten days … Is there any way for us to destroy this Door of the Abyss within ten days?"
I asked Sandora. In my opinion, although the Door of the Abyss sounded like a terrifying idea, at the very least, it was currently bound to the Black Sun. Destroying a star shouldn't be a problem for the Empire's fleet.
Contrary to my expectations, Sandora actually gave me a negative answer. "Impossible. Before that 'Door' was released, perhaps we could have used some special method to destroy it, such as pushing it into the Void and allowing it to be devoured and purified. However, that 'Door' has already been released in the Great Explosion. The power of the Abyss that's spreading out doesn't have a physical body. Even if we destroy the Black Sun, we'll only be able to cause this destructive will to spread out even faster … The power of the Abyss is incredibly difficult to destroy. Unless we cut it off at its source, or allow it to completely infect and purify the infected individuals, it's practically indestructible. The most insidious part of Ockham's plan is that he directly opened up this source. The instant that we used the power of the Void to release the Door of the Abyss, this source became impossible to destroy.
What's even more troublesome is that this is the battlefield of the Gods … "" The chaotic dimensional laws fill this place, causing this Black Sun's situation to become special. Unless we use pure dimensional power to vaporize it, no attack will be able to destroy this Black Sun. No matter how fast we are, it's impossible to prepare a powerful dimensional weapon before the power of the Abyss spreads out … What's even worse is that the power of the Abyss here has already mutated due to the remnant power of the Gods. The power of the Abyss has the attribute of dimensional laws … There's no way to destroy it without a physical body. "
Since we had already destroyed the King's Landing -class Annihilation Ship, the chaotic space filled with the Black Sun was now calculable again. The Empire's fleet had successfully escaped this dangerous area that had been completely contaminated by the Abyss. Zeratul had been with us the entire time, watching everything from the sidelines. Now that he seemed to have a chance to speak, he could finally express his confusion.
We roughly explained the dangerous existence of the Abyss to Zeratul. As for Ockham, we explained that he was a traitor of the Empire. We didn't mention much about the existence of the Fallen Apostle, as it might cause panic if word got out.
"Spread across the entire universe …" Even someone as calm as Uncle Z felt a bone-deep fear when he heard this shocking news. Compared to the evil power that could destroy the entire universe, the insectoid disaster that had plagued the Keplu Star District was now as insignificant as having two cockroaches in the house. "If all of this really happens …"
Sandora continued calmly, "We will do our best to transfer the innocent people of this world, but this universe will still be abandoned in the end. The Empire may execute this world, but it's more likely that the Protoss will do it personally. The scale of this incident is too large, and it has exceeded our expectations."
Shadora's words sent Zeratul into a state of shock for a long period of time. However, it also reminded the two people present: Lina and I.
In unison, a certain pseudo-loli Priestess and I shouted, "Jingle!"
It was time to let that household god, who had never done a proper job, get some exercise! This was the world that she managed. She couldn't just watch the destruction happen, could she?
After leaving the Black Sun, we first met up with Renault and the Queen of Blades, who were waiting outside. The latter immediately noticed the oppressive atmosphere between us, but she didn't dare to ask. In the end, it was Zeratul who told Renault what had happened with our tacit consent. Yes, then Uncle Renault decisively leaked the secret to Kerrigan.
"You should already know the situation. Maybe there are more things that you don't understand, but the entire universe is facing a crisis of death." On the bridge of the Empire Admiral, I spoke frankly to Renault and his Blade lady. "At least, the Keplu Star District can't be saved. The land is about to sink, but our tickets are limited. Or to put it more bluntly, only two-fifths of the people in this star district will survive …"
"I only have one question," the Queen of Blades' face was expressionless as she interrupted me in a calm tone. "If this power is really as powerful as you say, and can destroy the entire universe, do you have the ability to destroy it? If you don't have the ability, what's the point of taking refuge? Can anyone survive the destruction of the universe? "
Liliana glanced at the Queen of Blades disdainfully. "Your knowledge is too shallow. First, even if it's the end of the world, the Empire has the ability to fight against it. Besides, we have a True God among our backup forces. The great Goddess will naturally have a way to deal with everything. Second, even if the universe is destroyed, there are many places that you can take refuge in. There is only one universe in your eyes, but there are countless worlds that the Empire has set foot on. At worst, you can take refuge in another universe."
Liliana's words made the Queen of Blades' eyes widen. She obviously hadn't thought about something as sophisticated as "taking refuge in another universe" before, but now it seemed that this unimaginable thing was actually a normal migration?
Just as Liliana said, these natives who had never left the Keplu Sector in their lives were too shallow …
But although they mentioned taking refuge in another universe, that should be the last option to consider. After all, this universe also included our Earth … Although with our current strength, we could move the entire Earth to a nearby universe, if we did that, the people of Earth would really become exiles. Well, a group transmigration on a scale of seven billion … I don't know how far this book would go …
After Renault and the other outsiders left, we successfully contacted Jingle. Although she was still living a happy life on Earth, wandering around the candy mountain every day, she had long been aware of the abnormalities in this world. At this moment, I suddenly called her urgently through the mental link, and the little one directly teleported in front of me. She didn't even ask what was going on.
The tiny green figure pounced on my face, giving me a fright. After I plucked the gummy figure off my nose, I finally snapped out of my reverie of an "assassin".
"Ah Jun! Ah Jun! Ah Jun! Ah Jun!! Something has happened, something has happened! " Jingle was lifted by my wings and hung in the air. She waved her little arms and called out softly, but she couldn't help but sneeze. "Jingle caught a cold, lost her appetite, insomnia, toothache, and bit her tongue when she ate candy in the morning! This world is going to be over!! "
As God, at least preserve the last bit of image for me, you bastard! Shouldn't you generously wave your hand and summon a hundred thousand angels or throw out a Jesus to save the world?! Don't wipe your snot on my sleeve without any regard for your image, you stupid son of a bitch!
"Ah! The abyss is erupting! " When Jingle, who had finally calmed down after being shaken by me for a long time, heard the news, she immediately exclaimed, "It's over! With such a big mistake, Jingle's bonus for this month will definitely be deducted!! Jingle is already out of money! "
… The end of the world only deducts a month's bonus? Should I feel sad? Also, does the Protoss know how to spend money? Jingle, what exactly did you use your salary for?!
It's over, I just got out of the shadow of the end of the world and now I have to face such an overwhelming amount of insults. It would be terrible if I couldn't adjust my mental state.
"Let's not talk about this first. Jingle, do you have any ideas? As the God of Management of the world, you should have a lot of power in this world, right? In such a huge universe, there is only a single star that has been contaminated. Wouldn't it be easy to solve it? " Shallow Shallow anxiously asked Jingle for confirmation. But to be honest, I didn't have much confidence in the little thing in my hands from the very start.
"Jingle is the God of Management of the world, but the responsibility of a God of Management is to control the laws of the universe! For something like the Abyss to destroy the world, and the first to be infected is a black star that is no longer under the control of the laws of the universe, even Jingle can't do anything! "
As expected …
This wasn't out of my expectations. It was true that Jingle had complete control over the entire universe, but it was just like how a person could control their own body, but if they were shot in the head, they wouldn't be able to stop their body from dying. Jingle's control over the universe was limited to the extent that the universe itself wouldn't descend into chaos. Right now, the impending Abyssal Storm was like a bullet shot into her body. Jingle could control the entire Keplu Star District, but she couldn't possibly control an external bullet — the Abyss wouldn't listen to her.
"But Jingle can temporarily fix the contamination of the Abyss within a certain range. Yep, she can also slow down the corrosion." After the initial panic, Jingle finally remembered her own identity and began to recall the various laws and knowledge that she had tossed to her elementary school teacher. This time, she didn't take out a mountain of notebooks and notes from her messy personal space. The little goddess sat cross-legged on my palm with a serious expression and crossed her arms. She finally looked a little like a God … Er, at least she looked a little closer to her previous image. "If the laws of the Keplu Star District are completely modified, perhaps this place will temporarily become an independent universe. Then, we just have to wait for the power of the Abyss to completely corrode this' small universe '. When it is completely released, we can then purify it. That way, there shouldn't be any problems. Phew, Jingle is so amazing!!"
Jingle, you're amazing, but why do I feel like crying right now?
"If that's the case, the entire Keplu Star District will have to be abandoned. Can't you make the area smaller?"
Shallow Shallow had a look of disbelief on her face. According to Jingle, dividing the Keplu Star District into a flood zone and allowing the Abyss to freely corrode it, then completely destroying the entire Keplu Star District would be the best solution to the problem. What did that mean?
Hundreds of billions of innocent lives would be completely destroyed.
Perhaps even Sandora would think that such a thing was normal. In her previous expeditions, she must have done many similar massacring battles. But as an earthling who had been educated in peace since childhood, this kind of decision was too cruel. Even Shallow Shallow, who was in her dark state, would probably feel that it was inappropriate.
And as the Goddess of Life, Jingle might not have thought about it now, but when we really destroyed the Keplu Star District, would she be able to accept the result of being guided by the Abyss?
"Compressing it within the Keplu Star District is already the limit of what Jingle can do. If it's any smaller … the power of the Abyss might leak out. If that happens, it'll be terrible if we don't discover it in time!"
"Jingle, you can slow down the speed of the Abyss' contamination, right?" I recalled something that Jingle had casually said earlier.
"Yes, Jingle can modify the laws of the universe near the Black Sun, making the quantum effect disappear temporarily in that area. Then, she can set the speed of light in that area to ten meters per second. This way, the power of the Abyss won't be able to spread instantly, but can only slowly leak out at a speed of ten meters per second. But this process can only last for thirty days at most, otherwise it will cause irreparable damage to the world!"
You can even do that? Should I say, as expected of the Lord GM?
"How many residents of Keplu can be evacuated in a month's time?"
Sandora shrugged. "You should ask them themselves. The Proteans are good at spatial technology, and every one of them is a soldier. The spatial doors left by their ancestors are also everywhere. For them, this kind of evacuation should be achievable. The Zerg is equivalent to only one individual, so they can just let the Queen of Blades escape and abandon the rest of the Zerg. But the humans …"
The big sister took over the conversation. "This is only one of the reasons. Secondly, how are we going to destroy the Keplu Star District? This isn't just one or two planets. We can even easily destroy a star system, but what about the entire Star District? It's different from the setting in StarCraft. This is a star system that's twice the size of the Milky Way! "
Jingle didn't wait for us to look at her and waved her hand. "Jingle can't do anything about it. Jingle can only do single-threaded operations now. She can only modify the laws and destroy the Star District at a time!"
Forget it, Lord God's performance this time was already beyond my imagination.
Theoretically speaking, to destroy a star system the size of the Milky Way, a conventional Empire fleet couldn't do it. No matter how powerful the main cannon of a warship was, it was still a 'conventional weapon'. What we needed now was an absolute law weapon, a law weapon that could distort the world. At the very least, it had to be able to distort the laws of the entire Milky Way like Jingle. Moreover, the result we wanted was complete destruction. The entire Keplu Star District would be like a restaurant that Sandora had swept clean. To achieve this result, even detonating the galaxy's nucleus might not be able to achieve this result. Where could we find such a large-scale killing machine?
It might be possible to use all three axes of the King's Landing level at the same time, but we couldn't make it. Yup, the only thing that could be used as a sample had already been blown up by me …
Just as I was having a headache over the fact that I didn't have a weapon that was strong enough to kill and rob others, a soft and dazed voice suddenly resounded in the depths of my mind. A glowing object that I had almost forgotten about instantly illuminated my mind, "Brother Monarch, I can help."
