I wasn't sure if believing in Brother Spring would allow one to obtain eternal life, but carrying Jingle would definitely be able to revive on the spot. This was without a doubt.
Although her average combat strength was always below 5, and even if she went berserk and increased her attack power by 20%, her combat strength would still only be a pitiful 6, even such a small Jingle was stronger than us in some aspects.
The Life Goddess was undying.
That was because the Life Goddess' stats didn't even have the status of "death"!
You could only transfer the life force of a Life Goddess. "Killing" her would only cause her to revive. She could revive in any temple, in the God Realm, beside any believer, or even on the spot. This rule was as unbreakable as the law of conservation of energy in the universe. It was said that only the Main Gods of the Star Domain and the higher-level Father God had the ability to grant death to a Life Goddess. However, it seemed that Father God was even more obsessed with his daughter than I was. He viewed all Life Goddesses as his daughters, and would never allow his daughters to be harmed. That was why the death rate of the Life Goddesses had always been maintained at zero.
Of course, perhaps it was for the sake of fairness, the combat strength of every Life Goddess had never exceeded 5 or 6 …
Carrying such an undying little goddess, under the protection of her God Power, even if I can't achieve the same level of absolute immortality, dealing with a mere weird moon shouldn't be a problem. My own energy resistance and Ding Dang's God Power Shield should be sufficient to withstand the energy storm that the heart of the moon might create. Even in the worst case scenario, if the gigantic moon were to suddenly explode and kill me, the little thing would be able to revive me in an instant. Un, even though the entire process seems a little weird, at the very least, there is one thing that I can be sure of and that is that I shouldn't really die inside.
Why did I suddenly think of dragging a corpse inside?
If that was really the case … Damn, wouldn't I be a little too heroic?!
I had to admit that this wasn't a good idea. Emotionally speaking, Sandora definitely wouldn't be able to accept that I really "had a 90% chance of dying". However, the current situation was extremely dangerous, and I couldn't think of any other solution. That was unless we could watch as this world was destroyed — — destroyed by something discarded by the Xiling Empire.
Even Schilling products, which had always been of excellent quality, would break down. The giant moon was originally the control center and energy component of the shadow dimension (who knew what kind of item would need such a level of energy!). After the dimension went out of control, it had been gradually damaged. Now, it had probably reached the limit of its structure. Demetrius had seen the blue moon once when she summoned Sasaki, but at that time, the latter had only changed color and leaked a small amount of psionic energy into the summoning ritual, causing Sasaki to "mutate." It could be said that it was a harmless energy switch. However, this time, the blue moon had melted a quarter of the earth's crust, and the size of the entire giant moon had doubled. Its destruction seemed to be close at hand.
According to the data observed by Avalon and the last information sent back by the sensors we left on the ground, Tawil had built a simple mathematical model. This model predicted that the internal collapse of the giant moon had reached a dangerous critical point. At most, there would be two more blue moon-red moon switches, and the energy intensity of its core would exceed the limit of any Schilling creation. It would even form a void channel, completely exposing this world to the void. At that time, everything would be hopeless. Therefore, we had to seize the opportunity to close the giant moon the next time it turned red.
Then, we could only enter it.
No matter what this artificial celestial body was originally designed for, its control center could only be in the core position. My task was to take advantage of the temporary calm of the Crimson Moon to break in, use my special ability to find the energy furnace of the giant moon, and close the reactor from the inside. Or it could be a psionic abyss whose main body was in the void plane, but the output port was connected to the main material plane. The second possibility was more likely. But to be honest, I would rather the reactor be placed in the giant moon. It would be much easier to operate.
Sandora urgently mobilized a batch of special battleships from the City of Shadows and the invisible base in the Kuiper Belt into the otherworld. These spaceships varied in tonnage, ranging from the smallest, countless expeditionary class assault ships to the three largest, the Eternal-class flagship. It could be said to be a true mixed fleet. They did not come here to contribute their firepower, but because these spaceships that had been modified into special battleships were all equipped with the same kind of equipment: the energy plunderer.
Ever since the energy plunderer showed its power in the Kepru Sector and showed its terrifying defensive and counterattack ability against energy attacks, Tawil had not stopped improving them. Now, although the energy plunderer had not left the experimental stage, they had preliminary practical value on small spaceships. Even the smaller expeditionary class assault ships could be equipped.
These spaceships formed a meticulously calculated array around the giant moon, fully absorbing the psionic energy that the blue moon emitted, and doing everything possible to reduce the energy pressure on its surface. This process had to be very careful. The stability of the giant moon was declining every minute. Once the energy absorption speed of the energy plunderer was not coordinated, it might cause the fragile energy balance on the surface of the giant moon to be broken. It would become a punctured balloon, and with a bang, the Empire fleet was annihilated.
This was also to ensure that the giant moon could last longer and be more stable when it switched to the red state. It turned out that the energy sea on the surface of the Crimson Moon was the product of the reverse psionic wave. If we could reduce the energy intensity of the blue moon by one fold, the energy of the Crimson Moon would also be reduced by one fold. Its duration and stability would also be doubled. This was the most optimistic estimate. However, the interior of the giant moon must still be producing new energy. Even Tawil could not confirm how effective this would be.
Anyway, it was better than doing nothing.
Along with this mixed fleet was the flagship of the Interstellar Coalition Army, the Admiral of the Empire, which had made great contributions in the Battle of Kepru. The huge amount of energy absorbed from the surface of the giant moon needed a vent. Even the fleet of the Xiling Empire would not be able to consume the energy of the Schilling Empire's most advanced technological creation, and an energy celestial body of a higher level. The Admiral of the Empire was now an energy release antenna. As an advanced command ship, its hundreds of kilometers long hull itself was a matrix that could coordinate the energy fields of all allies in the entire war zone. With a little adjustment, it could remotely control the energy absorbed by the entire mixed fleet and send it out. Some of this white energy was sent through hyperspace to Shadow City, the invisible base of the Kuiper Belt, Avalon, and the Barrier Star of Visca. However, a small part of it could only be poured into the void. This huge waste caused the commander in the Shadow City (Adding to the chaos?) Shallow Shallow, who had received the energy, was jumping up and down anxiously. My Shallow Shallow was usually very thrifty in running a household!
The huge energy release array formed by the entire fleet around the giant moon shimmered in the dim space of the Inner World. It was like a group of fireflies gathered in a spherical shape. Endless psionic energy was collected from the surface of the blue moon and then released in an extremely precise way. If one looked at it from a distance, the first impression that most people would have was not that the fleet was suppressing the moon. On the contrary, it was that the fleet was lining up to charge around the moon.
This was also the thought that we gradually came up with. Could it be that the original function of this amazing artificial celestial body was similar to an energy slot? This suspicion was not unreasonable.
Ever since it came into our sight, the Crimson Moon had always been playing the role of an energy source. It could provide energy for Medea's summoning ritual, and it could also provide energy for the entire Roman Einherjar Legion. Now, it temporarily played the role of the Empire's fleet charger. According to the analysis of the researchers, the giant moon could provide energy to any unit in the entire Inner World, and the upper limit of this flux was almost impossible to calculate. Perhaps this was the original purpose of the Empire creating this celestial body?
On the bridge of the Empire's Admiral, the Empire's leaders were also seriously debating this question. Even though Sandora had been eating potato chips and plastic bags, even though Little Bubble had been chatting with her new pet, Xiao Jin, and the latter had been frowning and sighing, even though Pandora and Visca were secretly tickling each other, even though Tear was using the handheld computer produced by Bubble to talk about interstellar expeditions with her classmates in the distant campus city, even though …
But I really wanted to say that we were seriously debating this question from the very beginning.
"I never thought that the Empire in the past would create such an amazing creation." Tawil's voice was filled with emotion as he looked at the image of the giant moon that was constantly expanding and shrinking on the holographic projection below the bridge. "Just the energy that is leaking is enough to charge the entire Empire's fleet, and it can even provide energy to three Empire bases and a planetary battleship across space and time. If it is controllable, how much energy will this artificial celestial body provide us?!"
"But it is uncontrollable. Tawil, is it safe for our fleet to collect energy from this distance?" Looking at the holographic projection, the light emitted by the spaceships' engines formed flashing blue and white light spots in the distant universe background. I recalled the terrifying scene when the blue moon suddenly exploded. A research ship's energy shield was depleted in just a few minutes under the moonlight from three hundred and eighty thousand kilometers away. Now, we were charging less than two hundred thousand kilometers away from the blue moon. Scientists are crazy.
"The balance of science seems fragile, but precise calculations can make everything indestructible," Tawil said proudly. "Your Majesty, please believe in my calculations."
I nodded. "Alright. How long until the Bloody Moon appears?"
"In theory, the giant moon will enter its next hibernation period in half an hour. You don't have to rush. This hibernation period will last for at least four days. We have plenty of time."
"That's not what I'm talking about." I shook my head. Then, I turned to a certain direction behind the bridge and shouted, "Ilya! Ling! Saber Omiya Honga Sasaki Lancer Sakura Midea Ge Mu Medusa Berserker … Damn, I'm suffocating … All of you, come out! I know you are eavesdropping! "
"Director Gege has such a big lung capacity!"
Lei lifted his head from his Weibo and praised me cheerfully. Then, he lowered his head and continued to chuckle.
Do you even need to praise me for that?
"Ah, I was discovered by Big Brother!" Ilya pretended to exclaim in surprise. After coming out from the corner where she was hiding, she immediately pounced over like a cheerful bird. Then, two black shadows swooshed over from the side and cooperated with each other to stop the silver-haired loli who was pouncing over. With a yell, Ilya was thrown back while exclaiming in surprise.
Pandora and Visca's brother's defense had succeeded once again!
"The few of you have been playing on my military ship for a whole day. If you are done touring, hurry up and go back." I purposely put on a stern face, but I couldn't help but pat Ilya's head, who was filled with grievance. Then, I flicked Enaka, who was about to come over and act shamelessly, back and said solemnly.
"Don't …" Ilya protested. "Does Big Brother think that we are annoying? But this ship is so big, we can find a place that won't affect you. This is such a magical place, Ilya hasn't had enough fun yet … "
"The Imperial Army's military ship isn't a place to fool around." I said with a serious expression. Then, I heard the sound of Sandora chewing on chips and Lei giggling in the background. "Cough cough, anyway, theoretically, it isn't a place to fool around!"
Ilya pouted. It was obvious that he wanted to say something, but Wei Gong still understood the big picture. He nodded and said, "Looks like you are going to make a move. Alright, we will wait for your good news outside."
"Hmph, Wei Gong is a big idiot!" With a bang, Ilya unceremoniously kicked Wei Gong's calf.
Wei Gong hugged his calf and rolled on the ground.
"Ilya, don't throw a tantrum." Saber pressed the little girl's head and looked at us with her lake-green eyes. "Chen, I know that you are trying to save the world we live in. As the king of a mere human country, I may not be able to participate in such a great cause, but as a friend, please at least accept my respect and blessings. I will wait for your triumphant return!"
Ilya looked at the serious Artoria with dissatisfaction. But just as she lifted her foot, she noticed the iron boots on Artoria's calf and immediately became dejected.
A few minutes later, I watched a group of magicians and Heroic Spirits who had been touring the flagship for an entire day disappear into the light of the teleportation device. Then, my expression became solemn.
"Inform Avalon to seal off this shadow space. In the next forty-eight hours, the Surface World is prohibited from traveling to the Inner World. The energy suppression fleet is beginning to retreat at the same time. The energy plundering device's output is about to decrease. Tawil, you will temporarily take over the control of all the energy plundering devices. Let the Schilling mainframe computers use their spare computing power to analyze the structure of the giant moon. This is such a good historical site. Before we destroy it, we should collect as much information as we can."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Tawil replied loudly.
"Prepare my shuttle and have the flagship retreat. There's no point for you to stay here anyway," I instructed as I rubbed Ilya's tear-stained head. "Don't worry, it's just a small adventure."
Tears blinked in her eyes. "Then, you must come back quickly!"
"Don't worry, Jingle is here!" Ilya's tiny head popped out of my shirt pocket and said confidently.
The empire's fleet was already moving further and further away, leaving only spots of light of varying sizes in my field of vision. Even the Imperial General was nothing more than a blurry, glowing cross from where I was. The interior lights of the single-person shuttle were all turned off, and only the bluish-white light from the moon shone in, making me feel as if I was flying towards a blue sun.
These blue lights no longer had that terrifying power. Tawil's calculations were correct. The giant moon's energy readings had already decreased, and these psionic lights were merely harmless light at this distance.
"So beautiful …" Jingle's tiny head popped out of my shirt pocket and exclaimed softly.
This little thing's sense of beauty was really strange.
From how I saw it, the surface of the giant moon could be described as magnificent, but it definitely wasn't beautiful. Even though there was a distance of almost ten thousand kilometers between us, the raging energy waves were still clearly displayed before me due to the scale of the energy waves and my enhanced eyesight.
It was truly like a storm on the sea. The intense plasma psionic energy created waves that were dozens of kilometers tall, and each of the huge whirlpools spanned hundreds of kilometers. The gales formed by the energy waves plowed deep valleys on the surface of the giant moon from time to time. Meanwhile, large, pale blue psionic lightning bolts rampaged through this series of soul-stirring reactions, and each bolt was powerful enough to penetrate the energy shield of a small battleship.
The most terrifying energy device that the Empire had ever created was wantonly displaying its infinite power to us. However, just like Tawil's calculations, it was now gradually calming down.
The orange-red patches were gradually emerging from the depths of the blue ocean. The waves were getting weaker and weaker, and the surface of the giant moon was gradually calming down. The remote sensing readings provided by the shuttle were also pushing the theoretical safe distance forward again and again.
"Sandora, this is the last communication. That thing has entered a calm period. I'm going to board now."
"Mm, Ah Jun, be careful."
I cut off the communication with the mothership, and at the same time, I pressed on the little thing on my chest. After the little thing indicated that everything was ready, I reached out and pressed on the crystal board of the control panel.
…
The spaceship didn't move …
It can't be? How could you make such a blunder at such a historic moment?
"Ah Jun, the spaceship didn't move," Jingle said confusedly. "Manual, manual …"
Cough, cough. Anyway, after finding the manual and discussing with the little thing for a long time, we finally solved the awkward problem. Open the warehouse and jump down.
Humiliation, the humiliation of a lifetime!
As I rapidly fell towards the surface of the moon, which had already turned into an orange world, I looked up at the sky and let out a long cry.
