"Spatial vector traction complete. Entering the void region. Initiating phase interference. Fleet entering a tight formation. Auxiliary engines fully charged …"
"This is the battlecruiser Ark. We have handed over the control of the navigation system to the flagship Schilling mainframe."
"This is the Light of Aiur. We have handed over the control of the navigation system to the flagship Schilling mainframe."
In the endless chaos of the void region, where there was no concept of direction or space, a small area of order was established. Advancing in this area of order was a "small-scale" allied fleet. Obviously, the small-scale here was only relative to the regular armies of the Empire.
The flagship of the Star Empire Allied Forces, the current symbol of the Xiling Empire's royal command ship. Under the lead of this gigantic golden ship that was more than a hundred kilometers long, several hundred battleships of various sizes formed a shuttle-shaped formation. Among them, only three were Schilling airships: the faith-class colonization ship. The rest consisted of two hundred New Eden Federation human battlecruisers, a Proteus mothership, and more than ten Proteus aircraft carriers. This arrangement gave off a rather strange feeling. After all, this wasn't a war in the past, so there was no need for us to bring a large group of regular armies with us. The main reason why we brought these New Eden Federation vassal armies over was to let them familiarize themselves with the newly installed interdimensional propulsion system on their spaceships. Schilling products were definitely top-notch, but even top-notch products needed time to get used to them. As the servant armies of the Empire, we had high hopes for them.
The flagship of the Star Empire Allied Forces, the central bridge.
"How is it? How does it feel to be on a spaceship for the first time? "
I tilted my head slightly and asked with a smile as I looked at the Academy's Seven Roaches, who had been constantly looking around and wanting to jump down and fiddle with the control panel.
"Long live the spaceships!" As expected, the first one to reply was the fatty Hirano, who was known as a military nerd. He had been the most active one ever since he boarded the spaceship. At one point, I had no choice but to have two Empire soldiers point their guns at his head to calm him down. But now, it was evident that he had found a breakthrough point in his excitement. His fat body was practically flying. "Giant cannons! Laser cannons! Rail cannons! Nuclear cannons! Positron siege cannons! The orbital module, the landing ship, the mech, the satellite, and so on! Mechas fought, fighter jets fought, battleships bombarded each other, space legions bombarded each other! The cannon fire that tore apart planets, the cosmic flash that vaporized everything! Lasers and explosions! A dazzling nebula exploded in the vast and boundless space! This was a man's romance! This is what we are pursuing! Life should really pursue the sea of stars … "
I glanced at the awkward faces of Komuro Takashi and the others. Then, I coughed and said, "I'm going to tie this fatty up. You guys don't mind, right?"
"As long as you don't kill it, anything is fine."
A certain genius girl with pink ponytails said bluntly.
Hey! This tragic fatty was petrified on the spot! It's cracked!
"Poison Island, is there something on your mind?" I turned to look at Poison Island Chestnut, who hadn't spoken much since we boarded the airship. While the other companions were busy marveling at the miraculous interior of the spaceship, this girl appeared to be preoccupied with something. Although she was similarly amazed by the 'Empire's warship', it was obvious that she was troubled about something.
"Ah, it's nothing!" The girl who was deep in thought hurriedly shook her head. Instantly, she felt a surge of emotions in her chest. "It was indeed a very exciting experience. It's just that I was born to be indifferent …"
It seemed that she didn't tell her companions the truth. The spaceship that they were on wasn't equipped with medical equipment that could heal the dead, but a huge doomsday bomb. This girl who was the soul of the team with her calm and gentle personality chose to bear this heavy burden alone. I'm afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear this burden until the moment we launched the celestial bomb.
Maybe it was because they were still in the excitement of riding on the alien warship, but Komuro Takashi and the others didn't notice the abnormality of Poison Island. Very quickly, they shifted their attention to a new topic.
I heard them discussing the matter of 'returning home'.
When these people were brought to the City of Shadows and Jingle promised to let them settle down in our world, as we weren't sure if we would be able to find the world of 'Silent Revelation of Gakuen' before the infection spread to the entire world, I had already made them prepare to leave their homes forever. Two months later, they would take a look at this devastated world and return to the City of Shadows to settle down. This decision was naturally many times better than struggling to survive in the terrifying sea of dead bodies. This made Komuro Takashi and the others really happy for a while.
However, when we unintentionally discovered the world of 'Silent Revelation of Gakuen', the majority of the young boys and girls who were still underage had new expectations.
Only ten days had passed. Perhaps the Undead Virus hadn't spread to the entire world yet. Perhaps their homeland could still be saved. With the help of such a powerful civilization from another world, perhaps … perhaps human society would soon recover, and they could return to their familiar daily lives. Even if the world was devastated, at least they could still go to school, shop, and make friends like ordinary people on Earth …
Humans were all sentimentally attached to their homeland. No matter how safe it was, no matter how many worlds treated it as a holy land, these homeless wanderers who had lost their families and families would still feel desolate living in it.
This was the new hope that Komuro Takashi and the others (excluding Chestnut who already knew the truth of the poison island) had when they found out that their world had been discovered in advance. They didn't hide their request in front of me at all — Since we've discovered it in advance, please save our world no matter what.
Sigh, this feeling is really terrible. The helpless people around you place all their hopes on you, but your real goal is to destroy their world in front of them. Lin Xue, Lin Xue, you really deserve to be the biggest troublemaker in history. You push all the troublesome matters to me.
Just as I was lamenting and feeling a headache, a small black figure suddenly flew over from below the bridge and landed in front of me.
"Yo, Mercury Lamp, is this place fun?"
Lin Xue was right. Having such a puppet girl accompanying me was indeed a good way to relieve boredom. Looking at our high and mighty Chairman Mercury Lamp flying around the huge command hall like a curious child, touching everything and coming back with a proud expression of "I'm very calm", this feeling was really interesting!
"Hmph!"
The 92.3cm tall Goth girl snorted in dissatisfaction and pretended to look at me in disdain. "You stupid human, you do have some skills! That's right, a monster race that can even create things like planetary battleships … "
"But isn't it different from entering a spaceship to observe a planetary battleship from the outside?"
I knew that Mercury Lamp couldn't put down her pride and pretended to be angry with me. On the surface, she seemed to have a bad temper, but in reality, she was quite a kind girl … Well, at least she used to be.
"Well, it's just like that … Hey, idiot, what is that red crystal platform for? Why didn't those stupid officers let me go near it, and they kept saying it was a military secret. So infuriating! "
Curiosity killed not only the cat, but Mercury Lamp as well. Chairman, didn't you realize that you have completely become a curious baby?
"I really suggest that you don't touch that thing." Ignoring Mercury Lamp's protests, I lifted her up and placed her on my shoulder. She immediately started hitting my head — it was as though she was giving me a massage. "ASCCI-T, or the Anars System, can open a four-dimensional reverse hole in a three-dimensional space. It's about the size of a ping pong ball, but … you can think of it as a tablecloth on a table, and then someone drilled a hole under the table and pulled the tablecloth down through the hole. In the process, no matter what was on the tablecloth, it would be crushed into spatial debris, and the three-dimensional space itself would forever become a crumpled ball of paper. The range of spatial destruction created by the Anars System is roughly equivalent to 22 suns lined up in a row. It is a weapon specially used against stars, and its attack power is even stronger than those half-baked planetary battleships. More importantly, this thing ignores all defense below the Law level. Any gravitational shielding, spatial isolation, or spatial stabilization methods are ineffective against Anars, which makes it harder to defend against than conventional spatial weapons. However, it is a miniaturized experimental product that Tawil recently researched. As you can see, even the control platform is newly installed in the command hall. Although that guy insists that the things he created are invulnerable, I'm really worried that this thing will go out of control, so I haven't tested it in my own world — Hey, why are your expressions so twisted?"
"Hey, hey, hey! No matter what … this weapon is against the rules!! "
The one who spoke was Komuro Takashi. This guy who I had labeled as a ginseng whore on the first day wasn't considered a scumbag after all. It was just that he had a good life and was able to survive among all kinds of breasts. In reality, he was a stubborn person who only cared about Miyamoto Rei. This made me temporarily give up on the idea of killing him. Alright, since that was the case, I will generously grant you human rights and tell you something mercifully, "Have you heard of the Keplu Star Zone?"
"Oh, I have. I think it's the territory that you conquered not long ago?" Once the topic was brought up, even Chestnut of the Poison Island became interested. She leaned over and asked.
"We reformatted a space that was twice the size of the Milky Way."
The crowd: "…"
"This world is really scary, really," Komuro Takashi smiled awkwardly. He was completely speechless.
Mercury Lamp, who had been busy hitting my head a moment ago, was also stunned. Even this arrogant puppet could be frightened?
"Hey! Idiot! And you idiots, who can tell me what the Milky Way is? "
Alright, it seemed that no one really cared about the Rose girls' education. Err, if she really didn't go to school, then …
"Mercury Lamp, do you know how to write your name?"
"Hmph! As a noble Rose girl, writing my name … writing my name should be a small matter that I don't need to pay attention to, right? "
Damn! Could it be that this girl really didn't know how to write? This was different from the original work, wasn't it? In the settings, Mercury Lamp could clearly read, so why didn't she know how to write?
"Idiot, idiot, idiot! Turn into trash and disappear! " Even though she couldn't see my face due to the angle, Mercury Lamp could roughly guess what expression the person below her had on his face. She immediately became angry (shy?) and started cursing. The small puppet girl rode on the Head's shoulder, her little claws hugging the big head beside her and shaking it back and forth. Looking from the side …
What a harmonious father and son pair … although the way they interacted was a little strange. This was the first impression that Komuro Takashi and the others had when they saw the scene before them.
"The world coordinates have been repositioned. The fleet is about to leave Void Mode. The reentry process of the Main Material Plane has begun. All key units, please prepare for impact. The countdown begins now, 1000,999 …"
Komuro Takashi was stunned. "I said that your countdown starts from 1000?"
I was furious. "It's that brat Bubble causing trouble again!!"
That brat had previously used Mario's background music to replace the sound of the spacecraft's orbit setting notification. The time before that, she had used Snake's voice to replace the main control computer of all the individual battleships. Last time, she had used the shadow city's sky projection to play the King of Fighters for two hours, causing Iori Yagami and Yagami Shicha, who had finally settled down, to almost start fighting again. This time … This time, she actually gave me a countdown starting from 1000!
Alright, at least the danger wasn't as serious this time.
All in all, after a long wait and the entire army's tense standby state for more than ten minutes, the process of the fleet re-entering the Main Material Plane had finally ended …
It wasn't a violent shake, at least it felt that way. The Empire's fleet had left the Void Realm and appeared directly near "Earth". Hidden on the dark side of the moon, the giant holographic projection under the bridge finally showed something other than chaos: the desolate surface of the moon and half of Earth hidden by the moon in the distance.
At this moment, I didn't know why but I had the urge to fire a cannon to see if the moon below the fleet was also a planetary fortress filled with factories of the Imperial Army. It couldn't be helped. Visca's majestic figure that had illuminated Earth for 700,000 years left a deep impression on me.
"Mm, we've arrived … Eh? What's wrong with you guys? Poison Island, why are you holding onto my arm? And why are the others lying on the ground? "
"Who told us that there wouldn't be any tremors when we arrived … Blargh!"
Miyamoto Rei leaned into Komuro Takashi's embrace with a pale face, desperately resisting the urge to vomit.
Sorry, I'm used to being with superhumans.
"This feeling … I definitely don't want to experience it a second time!" Poison Island unceremoniously grabbed onto my arm and used it as a handrail. His face was gloomy. "Even lying in a coffin-like hibernation pod would be better than this."
Tawil, you've finally found a market!
"Hmph, humans are so weak." The only one who didn't have superhuman apostle physique was Mercury Lamp, who was still alive and kicking. The 92.3cm tall figure finally found something that she was proud of: She didn't have a stomach, so she wouldn't vomit. "I'm perfectly fine!"
But you keep swinging around my neck. Stop throwing a tantrum. Hurry up and hold on so that you don't fall …
"Plop."
Look, she fell.
Maybe it was because she had been secretly cursed by her elder sister for causing trouble, but the aftereffects hadn't disappeared yet. Mercury Lamp would be unlucky like this several times a day. She would either bump into a passing spirit, bump into the handrail at the corner of the stairs, or bump into the energy barrier on the window. Anyway, she would bump into something in order to calm down. When there was nothing to bump into — Look, she could still fall on her own.
Mr. President, look at this unlucky girl's adventure. How do you expect your supporters to feel? Hurry up and be a good child. Let your elder sister retract her powers!
"Damn it! You stupid human! Don't look down on me … "
I blocked Mercury Lamp's tiny body that was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws at me. I turned my head to the command hall below and ordered, "Prepare the landing troops and my landing pod. I want to go down personally."
"Yes … Ah, Your Majesty?"
The officer below replied out of habit. Then, he reacted. "According to the original plan, shouldn't we just drop the EOP …"
"The order has been changed."
In the end, Schilling's soldier's instinct to obey orders won over the other party's doubt. The commander in charge of the low orbit battle saluted. "Yes! Your order is supreme! "
The Empire's fleet finally hovered in the geosynchronous orbit. At this position, the gigantic spaceships could be easily seen from the ground without activating the invisible force field. However, no one on Earth had the time to look up at the sky.
Dozens of landing pods carrying us, Komuro Takashi's group, and a hundred imperial soldiers landed on a high ground near a city, bringing a little liveliness to the deathly stillness of the world.
"What a desolation after prosperity." I looked at the unresponsive city from afar. I suddenly felt like lamenting. "This is the second time I have come to a world covered in a biohazard crisis. The flourishing creations of humans are nothing but withered monuments after the silence of their creator. The grandeur of the buildings can only serve as a contrast to the desolation of a race's doomsday …"
"You definitely didn't think of this! Stupid humans! "Mercury Lamp pointed out.
"… That's Lin Xue's exclamation."
The puppet immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! That's an even more impossible person! "
For the first time, I realized that Mercury Lamp could be likable when she spoke.
"Was there a fire here recently?" Komuro Takashi frowned. There were many scorch marks around the bushes and forest. I wasn't sure if the survivors had used them to block the fire. "Oh right, Your Majesty …"
"Just call me Chen. It wasn't easy to get out of the fortress. Don't be so reserved."
"Ah, indeed …" Komuro Takashi revealed a relaxed smile. "Chen, when will the team in charge of treating the infected land?"
Poison Island and I couldn't help but look at each other. Then, I said awkwardly, "Err, about this, we should wait for the people on the orbit to finish scanning the map of the infected. After all, the number of shamans who can treat the infected is limited. We need to concentrate our limited strength. Now, let's go to the city over there to take a look. Maybe we can find the remaining forces of the human government to understand the situation."
The high school students who didn't have much life experience believed my words. Even Jukawa Shizuka, who was technically an adult and had the identity of a teacher, didn't doubt me.
… As expected, the naive was the cutest in this world.
What Komuro Takashi didn't know was that other than us, there were actually a large number of teams that had landed on the surface. It was just that none of these teams were healing teams (That was already unnecessary. If they had the time to research the antidote, the remaining people in the world would have died by now). They were searchers. Their mission was to search for as many humans as possible who were still alive and not infected. Although we could scan the distribution of life on the surface from the orbit, I still hoped to find as many survivors as possible, even if we couldn't save all of them …
It was always good to have one more survivor.
While Komuro Takashi and the others weren't paying attention, I glanced at the orbit scan in my personal field of vision.
It was a simple map of the planet that had been roughly scanned by the probes that had been released from the mothership. What was shown was a planet that could only be described as devastated. This scan result wasn't seen by Komuro Takashi and the others. It was only shown in my personal field of vision.
I touched my pocket again and took out the note that a certain missy had stuffed into my hand before I left.
The line of words that gave me a headache had been read over and over again. But looking at it now, it was still a pain in the ass.
"Blockhead, that world doesn't just have Resident Evil. Protect yourself. I will always be watching over you. If you dare to get injured in this kind of low-difficulty mission, then find a hole to bury yourself in — Invincible Super Beautiful Girl in the Universe, Lin Xue.
Also, I know that you must be waiting for this sentence: I'm not worried about you! "
