"Ah, Ah Jun, you're awake!"
When I arrived at the bridge, the first one to notice me was Shallow Shallow, who would never focus on anything for more than two seconds. Even though we hadn't seen each other for only a few hours, the lass still leaped towards me in joy. Then, she unceremoniously plucked Little Bubble out of my arms and placed her in his place.
"Waa — —"
Little Bubble burst into tears on the spot.
I say, Tong Zhen is great, but Shallow Shallow, can you stop messing around with the little girls at home? You're almost going to be the king of the children at home.
I watched as Qian Qian squirmed a little in my arms before hurriedly comforting Little Bubble, who had been bullied by me. I felt that there was no cure for this girl's brain.
"Everyone's here," I ignored the "mother and daughter" behind me who were acting like clowns (After thinking about it for a long time, I still think that Shallow Shallow and Little Bubble should be considered mother and daughter. Otherwise, that lass usually calls me daddy but treats Shallow Shallow as her elder sister. I feel like I lost something), I greeted the others. "I just wanted to lie down for a while, but I ended up sleeping for so long. Where is the fleet now?"
"It's already docked in Mars' orbit. It saw that you were sleeping soundly, so it waited for you to wake up before descending." The elder sister came over and gently helped me tidy my collar that had been flipped over in various angles. She sounded surprised. "Speaking of which, Ah Jun, what happened when you were sleeping? Why are your clothes in such a mess? "
Maybe it was the result of Little Bubble crawling all over my body … No matter how light it was, Little Bubble still had some weight. That lass crawled all over my body for a few hours without me having any reaction. Should I be proud of my self-control?
"You really don't care about your image at all." The elder sister was just like when we went to school together (I was in elementary school and she was in middle school). She meticulously helped me tidy up the clothes that I never cared about. Her attitude was similar to when we were young (I was in elementary school and she was in middle school). She meticulously helped me tidy up the clothes that I never cared about. She had the attitude of 'I'll make a bow tie for you even if you wear a vest for the Empire'. "You're going to meet those refugees later as the leader of the Empire. At least you have to give them a reliable image, right … Yup, you have to wear that dress later! No room for discussion! "
Me: "..."
Was this an extension of time from ten years ago?
"Ahem, although I'm sorry to interrupt your brotherly love," Lin Xue suddenly coughed, "but it seems that our Goddess of Light has something to say."
Lin Xue was referring to Icetis. I had noticed her just now. This infamous Goddess of Hoodlums, who was highly likely to be infamous in the world beyond the 10010 Void Node, was sitting together with Sandora. It seemed that they had finished exchanging their experiences. She was currently busy instilling her theories into Bubble, but the latter was obviously immersed in some dungeon and had no intention of paying attention to this Goddess. Coincidentally, Lin Xue's voice helped Icetis out of her predicament, and she focused her attention on me.
"Wow, you're awake, monster boy?"
"Hey! What's with this title?! " Just as I was about to greet her, I choked on her fierce nickname. How could she speak like that?
"A human can defeat a high-level True God. With such strength, shouldn't I call you monster boy?" Icetis waved her hand at me. "Those who care about the details are idiots."
This … fellow!
She clearly had such a youthful face and a mature older sister's figure. Why did she have to have such a hoodlum personality?
"It's good that you're awake. There's nothing much to say." Icetis jumped down from her seat and teleported next to me. She patted my shoulder. "I just wanted to say goodbye to you. I'm going back to the God Realm."
"Eh? You're going back just like that? "I didn't expect this.
"That's right. I haven't been back for several tens of millions of years. I'm afraid that my house has been torn down. I have to go back to the Grand Temple to settle the paperwork. At the same time, I have to scare that idiot father of mine. Also, those bastards who followed me in the past. I have to go back and hold the fort. It's not easy to survive in the God Realm these days. If you disappear for tens of thousands of years, people won't treat you as a threat anymore.
Can't this fellow think from a hoodlum's point of view? You should think about your former believers, you bastard!
"Also, I don't know how the few worlds that I used to manage are doing after so many years." Icetis hadn't completely forgotten her identity. "The days of fooling those believers in the past is really nostalgic."
Everyone was speechless.
"More importantly, I don't know how to face those mortals down there."
After speaking for a long time without any integrity, Icetis finally unnaturally said what was on her mind. "I can sense that there are two hundred and eighty thousand mortals on that red planet who are connected to me in some way. It's funny, isn't it? As a high-level True God, I'm actually afraid of facing a bunch of mortals."
"Twenty million years have allowed a hellish planet that was originally used to seal me, filled with magma and energy storms, to evolve into life. I didn't expect this at all. Perhaps the divine power of the seal itself leaked out. Not only did it calm down the elemental storms on the planet's surface, it also allowed the evolution that would have taken several hundred million years to complete in such a short period of time. These humans that were born from my 'grave' absorbed my life energy and evolved. They're basically my children. But now, they were almost completely destroyed by me.
Even the Creator doesn't have the right to casually destroy the lives that he created. In this aspect, I'm truly terrible … "
I didn't know how to respond. This Goddess in front of me was like a hoodlum. No matter what, she had a license … Cough, cough, I went off topic.
What I really wanted to say was that I didn't expect that even someone like Icetis would be sad about something like this.
"What's with that look?" Icetis's ability to read people's expressions was far better than I had imagined. Her slyness, which was accumulated from her billions of years of life, was no joke. "Don't look at me like this. I'm also a Goddess! As a God, how can I not love the mortals that I protect? Not to mention, these people are all people that were born from my energy. "
"In a short twenty million years, they were born because of me, and they died because of me. I know that not all of them died. Isn't this just to rhyme? (Everyone spat at this moment). I don't know if I should get close to these children or not."
Icetis scratched her head in distress. "That's it. I have to go back first. My mind is still in a mess. I'll leave these humans to you for the time being. I'll try to apply to be the head of this place. This world has been attacked by the Chaos Abyss twice in a row. It's filled with hidden dangers. It needs a boss who can control the situation. Those mortals in the most difficult times also need a God who can protect them. Very soon, I'll protect this race again … This time, no one will be able to exterminate them!"
Oh oh, your determination is commendable. However, it would be even better if you could slightly change your immoral way of speaking.
After I announced my plans for the future, I thought that Icetis would be fine. I didn't expect that this fellow's eyes would turn and focus on me again. It was obvious that she had thought of something that wasn't too optimistic for me.
In any case, I definitely didn't think that this hoodlum would be able to come up with any ideas that would benefit others.
"There's something else that I have to tell you." As expected, Icetis immediately came closer to me. She even cast a soundproofing barrier on me. I immediately shrunk my neck. "Don't mind me. I'm not interested in joining the evil side!"
"I don't want to be a pirate either!"
"I also won't go to the Pantheon to collect protection fees!"
"I don't even want to help you recruit underlings! I haven't been in this line of work for many years! "
"What nonsense are you blabbering on about!" Icetis finally couldn't take it anymore. She roared at me like a lion. So, the reason she cast the soundproofing barrier just now was to focus on me?
"Do you think that a … cough cough, do you think that anyone can be a hero? A newbie like you is still far from that. I'm talking to you about serious matters. "Icetis revealed a rare serious expression. She also announced that this topic had nothing to do with her hoodlum theory. Then, she turned around to look at Sandora, who was looking at us curiously. She sent a silly smile over." Chen Jun, right? "
Eh? She was calling me by my name now?
"Listen, you defeated me. Although it was me who was weakened to the level of a mid-tier True God, your strength is already worthy of recognition. Then, you saved my life. I, Icetis, never owe anyone anything, including favors. Thirdly, I have a general understanding of your personality. You are worthy of your strength. You have a heart that is as strong as your strength. You won't change your nature because of any external factors …"
Actually, that was just a victory for otaku soul.
"In any case, I now treat you as a qualified friend," Icetis said seriously. It was really strange. If someone else had said this and changed their expression, they would have given off a superior impression. It would have been as if "I treat you as a friend because I think highly of you." However, when the hoodlum goddess Icetis said it, I could only feel her sincerity. "I'm saying these words to you as a friend. Chen, treat Sandora well."
I was slightly stunned. After all that preparation, it was all for this one piece of advice?
"Don't think that this is just a simple reminder." Icetis narrowed her eyes. "Sandora and I have known each other for a very long time. Even though I was sealed in this world not long after that, she is still one of the few true friends that I acknowledge. I, Icetis, will always have nothing to say about friends. That is why I don't wish for her to suffer any harm, do you understand?
Just now, I asked Sandora about the situation over the past few years. The Empire that once stood at the pinnacle of mortals suffered a heavy blow for no reason. However, the entire God Realm didn't notice any signs of a large-scale attack … Let the Senators of the God Realm worry about these matters. Those who have nothing better to do should get some exercise. What I am concerned about is that Sandora has nothing left now. Her Empire, her glory, everything in her past has vanished into thin air. I never dared to believe that the proud and powerful Warsong Princess of the past would actually say something as weak and foolish as' Ah Jun is all of my wealth '. However, since she has already made up her mind, I want you to promise me one thing: If Sandora suffers any harm in the future because of you … "
"You don't have to do anything. I will find a Gate of the Abyss and jump in myself."
There was no need for me to make a promise. There was no need for me to solemnly swear. When I said this, my tone was as natural as if I was talking about eating and drinking. This was because it was only natural — to me.
After looking at me silently for a while, Icetis finally smiled with unprecedented sincerity. "Alright, you didn't disappoint me." As she said this, she removed her soundproof barrier. "However, it is good that you have determination. However, I have also heard that every now and then, you would pick up a girl from your house. This time, the one you picked up was me. Next time, someone else will be unlucky — Young man, take care of yourself! I will often come to play with you … "
Icetis gradually disappeared into the air with the echo of her words. I was stunned for a moment before looking at the group of beauties around me. I said seriously, "I think this is a misunderstanding."
"That bastard Goddess definitely did it on purpose!" — I only said this in my heart, which meant that it came from the bottom of my heart.
Even though my elder sister insisted that her younger brother should be wearing that eye-catching royal robe and valiantly disembarking from the Empire's battleship under the protection of two rows of soldiers from the Empire to receive the worship of the people, what I meant was — Every time I put on that unlucky robe, it would take twice as long to take off. If necessary, I would have to use scissors, a dagger, an ion cutter, a liquid bomb, a military knife, and even Veigar's machete to remove it. After having such a terrible experience once, I didn't want to experience it a second time.
From a practical point of view, the hurdle vest was much better! Two leather bands and a pair of flip-flops. The spirit of being close to the people as the leader of the Empire was definitely at its peak. Yep, I had used up too much energy from the fight just now, so I still need two fried dough sticks, a bag of soy milk, and it would be best if I could bring along a boiled egg …
In any case, in the end, I was pinned to the ground by the combined efforts of Sandora and Shallow Shallow. My elder sister commanded me while Lin Xue watched from the sidelines. The two of them were 1.2 meters tall, while Bubble and Little Bubble added to the chaos. It was as though I was fighting with a high-level God as I put on that royal robe that no one with an IQ lower than 200 would be able to take off on their own.
Even though I didn't want to admit it, I realized that the truth proved that this outfit was correct.
The Empire Admiral was massive in size and it would require too much energy to disassemble itself on the ground. Thus, it hovered high above the Martian Sanctuary City, its golden radiance illuminating the dark red land that was far from the sun, as well as the spherical colony on the land. Meanwhile, we switched to a large shuttle to pass through the energy barrier of the ecosphere and into the sanctuary.
The moment we appeared on the stairs of the shuttle, deafening cheers resounded in my ears.
"Holy sh * t!" I was taken aback by the commotion. Then, I dug my ears furiously. "Sandora, what's going on? Why are these refugees so energetic? "
"According to Laura Stuart's suggestion, we broadcasted a portion of the battle scenes of the Empire Fleet above the sanctuary," Sandora said with a smile. "And that cunning little girl (…) used her own instigation to shape it into an epic Holy War between the armies of a foreign world to protect the tinder of humanity, or even the universe. Of course, that was the truth. Looking at it now, the impact of those scenes wasn't bad at all."
"After the disaster, they need a solid spiritual support." As the 'Prophet of a foreign world' who led humanity forward during the end of the world, but I would like to call her the number one psychic in history, Laura naturally appeared at the scene as well. She came to our side from the side of the shuttle's three-rail gangway and made a gesture of leading the way as she said softly, "The astonishing strength that your army displayed in the battle gave them such hope. With a little encouragement, it was easy to turn the lifeless despair into a fanatical worship of power. Although it might not necessarily be a good thing, this fanaticism would allow them to survive through the most difficult period of time."
"Just like what the citizens of the New Eden Federation experienced in the beginning."
I nodded my head as I understood what Laura meant. I must say, this woman was extremely shrewd when it came to manipulating the hearts of people. As expected of the Ultimate Fox Woman who was able to fool an entire cult. If I were to throw her into World War II Germany, there wouldn't be anything left for the mustache man to do.
The Martian Sanctuary was built by modifying an Empire Colony Ecosphere and placing it on the surface of the planet. It was a simple and manageable structure. No matter which corner you tried to sell at, the Town Security from the city center would be able to take you down with lightning speed. That was why the uncle in the black suit didn't need to sneak into the crowd to promote his "New Era Empire Crusade HD Gun Edition". I was watching … Cough cough, we landed in a large plaza near the center of the Colony Ecosphere.
This place was already filled with neatly arranged, fully armed Schilling Warriors. They separated the ordinary civilians on the outskirts of the plaza. Knowing that this was a rather important scene, even the crazy Shallow Shallow became slightly serious. She tried her best to look serious as she grabbed my arm and slowly walked down the gangway. Little Bubble, who was in my arms, also quieted down at the right time. It showed that the Empire's little princess had an extraordinary upbringing. Thus, under the dim morning sun of the Martian Sanctuary, on the only oasis in this barren land, against the glorious backdrop of a huge golden cross in the sky, and under the solemn defense of the majestic alien warriors, the Empire's Chancellor dragged his girlfriend, who had a stiff expression on her face. On the other hand, there was the bored looking Queen of the Empire, who had a lollipop in her mouth. On the other hand, there was an Empire General (Visca) who was hopping around trying to drag the little princess down and take her place. On the other hand, there was another General (Pandora) who kept using supersonic hand blades to beat his own sister back. Behind him was Great Prophet Lin, who was clearly in the background, but kept waving his hands at the people below, cupping his fists in salute, or whispering to his sister. In front of him was Archbishop Laura, who kept sighing as if he wanted to smash his head on the ground. The entire scene was majestic …
Majestic your sister! Majestic your sister! Isn't this my distant second uncle's family who just got off the train?! You troublemakers! Is it so hard to leave some dignity for the Empire!? We are filming a military theme, not a comedy, you bastards!
