The platform was a few hundred square meters wide. There was no cover or decoration. It was like a peaceful island floating in the middle of a storm. The calmness of the platform formed a sharp contrast with the raging storm outside. In the middle of the platform, a figure with silver hair like a waterfall was sitting quietly, hugging her knees. She was wearing an evening gown that seemed to have black clouds floating around it. She looked like a princess who had just left a banquet in the upper class. Her slender hands were hugging her knees, and her chin was buried between her knees. Her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was taking a nap in this position. Her long silver hair was unadorned. It was so long that it left one speechless. It cascaded down her back like a waterfall, forming a silvery white ripple on the ground. It made the owner of the hair feel like she was sitting in a pool of mercury. I looked at the figure in front of me in a daze. It should have been very familiar, but now it felt very strange. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the silvery white that could be described as gorgeous.
From a botanical point of view, the person in front of me should be Icetis. But this version was too unbelievable. If Lu Bu was carrying a manure fork into the battlefield, you would never think that he was a fierce general. Similarly, if Icetis sat there quietly without a brick in her hand, would you still think that she was a female gangster?
So, I couldn't think of who the person in front of me was!
The surroundings were still filled with a warm and relaxing atmosphere. The source of it might be Bryndis, who was resting with her eyes closed in front of me. This made me feel even more incongruous. The person in front of me had always been someone who had nothing to do with "peace and harmony". The greatest meaning of her existence was to make everything within a few light-years around her boil. I never thought that I would feel so relaxed just because I was close to this female gangster. Maybe I was worried that I would break this wonderful atmosphere, so I didn't pat her on the shoulder like I usually did. Instead, I carefully moved closer, afraid that I would disturb her.
Outside the barrier, there was a violent storm, and the clouds were surging. It was filled with deafening roars and tearing power. But inside the barrier, there was peace and harmony. Under the faint golden light, the upper platform seemed like an isolated island, and within this faint golden halo was a goddess who seemed to be in a deep slumber. It could also be said that this goddess had brought a mystical peace to this isolated island. Such a scene was truly worth recording. I had no doubt that if someone could draw this scene right now, they would be able to hang it in the Louvre the very next day.
"Are you done circling?"
Just as I was carefully circling around Icetis to take a picture to hang in the Louvre, her voice suddenly rang in my head. I was startled. I jumped two meters away and got into a fighting stance. (Of course, I was definitely acting fierce. She probably wouldn't be able to see through my cowardice) I shouted, "Let me make this clear! I only circled around twice. If you dare to shout molestation, I … "
"If worst comes to worst, I'll continue to fight." When Icetis said this, she still maintained the peaceful posture of hugging her knees. From her posture, she looked like an innocent girl sitting on the lawn and smiling at the morning sun. However, her temperament had clearly returned to that of a hoodlum. Seeing my reaction, she only grinned and took out a shining golden object. "Also, I brought a book."
I immediately became listless: I can't even beat her with my fists, let alone now that she's carrying a weapon. I've seen Icetis's brick before. Other than the handle, it's basically a war hammer!
Although I was anxious when I said the words' molestation ', I wasn't just spouting nonsense. In the past, I was tricked by a female hoodlum in this aspect. Everyone knows what kind of person Icetis is. She's always careless and doesn't care about her image, especially when she's with me. In her words, the only people in this world who can fight evenly with her with their fists are her friends. Unfortunately, I'm one of the few people that fits her temperament the best — — A normal Protoss wouldn't fight with her if they had a bit of face, let alone be able to accept her personality that brings disaster to the world. Thus, I became her number two bad friend after Sandora, and we would usually mess around unscrupulously …
I have to admit that being bear-hugged, rolled around, and locked in a cross-lock by this fiery breasted sister was a test of my inner qualities, both physically and mentally. Although Lin Xue would sourly comment that I had good luck with women, I was still a good man in the new era. How could I fall so easily? Of course, the most important thing was that I was afraid that Sandora would really eat herself up. Thus, every time Icetis messed around, she would be especially excited and I would be especially awkward.
After a long time, of course, Bryndis also discovered this point and quickly turned it into a new entertainment item. On a gloomy, cold, and windy afternoon, this female pervert madly rushed over with a bear hug as usual. Before I could react and run for my life, she shouted with a volume that was loud enough to make half the street tremble:
Molestation!!
At that time, with tears streaming down my face, I saw Shadora walking over from the front while talking and laughing with my elder sister. I was in a state where it was extremely difficult for me to explain myself and Bindis were in a mess.
Fortunately, Sandora knew what kind of person Icetis was, so she punched the female hoodlum without hesitation. Unfortunately, she also punched me …
"Ha, you are really interesting." Bryndis did not stand up. She returned to her previous posture of quietly meditating with her arms around her knees. But this time, she put her chin on her knees, looked up, and then slightly tilted her head to indicate the empty space beside her, "Come, sit here."
I felt that the female hoodlum was a little different today, but I couldn't tell what was different, but I still obediently sat beside her. No matter what, being invited by a beauty is a joyous thing, and most of the time, if you want to avoid trouble, it's better to listen to the other party's orders. Her pranks are usually fatal, I'm even worried that one day when I'm out with Shallow Shallow and the others, she would bring a dozen kids to hug my legs and ask them to call me daddy — — Considering Sister Bing's morals, she would definitely do something like that!
"Looking at your eyes, I can tell that you're not thinking of anything good."
Icetis glanced at me from the corner of her eyes and said in an unfriendly tone. I quickly waved my hands. I didn't know if she was planning to bring a dozen kids from other places, but she was still holding a brick in her hand!
At this moment, the calming and relaxing 'field' around us hadn't disappeared yet. It seemed that as long as Icetis sat there, a peaceful holy light would form around her. This might be a special talent of God. Usually, when Jingle was at home, I could feel that every corner of the house was full of life — — The little bean would occasionally sneak a drink, and we could even pick mushrooms to eat in the kitchen. But I couldn't help but say, "I really didn't expect that there would be a time when you could be quiet."
"Ha," Icetis chuckled softly, "As expected, that's what you were thinking. You seem to have forgotten that no matter what, I am still the guardian of millions of believers. Don't tell me that I don't even have the power to grant them peace? "
I was stunned for a moment, then I laughed at myself.
This wasn't strange at all. No matter how strange Icetis was, her identity as the 'Goddess of Light' was genuine. It could be found in the archives of the God Realm's Ministry of Education. Thus, it was normal for her to show a holy side occasionally, just like how Jingle would occasionally grow older by a few minutes. And from the perspective of a God, Icetis was quite qualified. She had always been very caring towards her believers. She was a true God who loved the world and was tolerant and compassionate — — at least, that was what she said. Thus, it was normal for a motherly version of Icetis to appear occasionally.
But there was still something that I was concerned about, and that was — —
"Speaking of which, what were you doing here just now?" I asked casually. "Meditating?"
Wasn't that what the books said? Super experts were used to finding a deserted place to sit down and meditate — — Although I didn't understand how such a series of thoughts could be read, it was enough to know that it was powerful — — Then, they would think about the ultimate mysteries of the universe and life, as well as what to eat for dinner tonight. In the process of thinking, they would gain enlightenment. Then, when the plot needed them, they would appear and save the world from disaster … Even though I had always felt that this kind of cultivation method was most likely to create not super experts but a bunch of obese people with arthritis, Icetis probably wasn't one of them.
Unexpectedly, Sister Bing shook her head, "I was just sending them off."
The moment Icetis said that, I felt a chill down my spine. She said that, why did I think of it …?
"Something like that." It was rare that Sister Bing didn't pull my ears or twist my scalp like a hooligan. Instead, she revealed a solemn expression, "The soldiers of the Imperial Army and the soldiers of the Revenge Army who died in battle, most of them can no longer be resurrected. I wanted to help them calm down. No matter what the final battle was like, at least they fell on the battlefield … The Shiring Apostles don't believe in gods, but they believe that death on the battlefield can bring eternal peace. Thus, I blessed the dead in the name of God. Mm, that was my initial thought. But just now, I realized that this world is filled with restless' thoughts'. They seem to be … different from souls. "
I was creeped out by Icetis's words, and I suddenly realized something: The scariest ghost story in the world had nothing to do with the content of the story, but it depended on who was telling it. Anveena, that little ghost, always talked about the undead. We treated it as her diary. But this time, Icetis, the Goddess of Light, suddenly told me that the world was filled with resentful spirits. It was creepy.
Noticing my weird expression, Icetis seemed to know what I wanted to ask, but she shook her head in advance, "Don't ask. I am not too sure about the situation either. I only felt a faint restlessness. There are many things, similar to souls, that are gathering. At first, I thought that it was the soldiers of the Empire who died in the two battles. They died in battle with their own people, so it is possible that they have regrets. But just now, that assumption was overturned. The thoughts came from another place, and I am afraid that it is much bigger than what I felt."
So that was what Icetis was doing earlier. I didn't have a clear understanding of the power of the Goddess beside me, because the power of the Star Territory Protoss and the power of Schilling's technology/mystery were of a completely different system. Just like the "souls" that she mentioned, there was also a device on the Eternal-class mothership that was used to detect souls. It was used to revive the commanders who died in battle. At the same time, the Leader Bee also had a similar talent. But looking at the current situation, what Icetis felt should be something else. She mentioned "thoughts" and said that it was similar to souls. I couldn't help but want to find out more about it.
"Does Sandora know about it?"
"No, I didn't tell her. Also, I suggest that you don't rush to tell her." Icetis shook her head and suddenly looked at me solemnly. "Although you are the closest person to her, I am certain that your understanding of Sandora is not as good as mine. She is already in a mess now. It is already the limit of her ability to continue commanding this battle. If she were to suddenly find out about this erratic information, it is likely that she will make the wrong judgment. I will continue to investigate these matters using our Protoss' own methods. "
It was rare for me to see Icetis so serious about something. It seemed that the tens of millions of years of friendship between her and Sandora was really something else. I still couldn't understand the "thoughts" that she mentioned where they came from. But seeing her frown, I still wanted to do my part. "Do you need help?"
"Ha, are you underestimating my power?" Icetis finally couldn't help but show her true colors. She grabbed my neck and squeezed me hard. "This is just a small matter. It will only take a little more time! Don't make trouble. Go back and accompany Sandora in this battle so that she doesn't feel too guilty! "
I rolled my eyes and struggled. Who knew that this female pervert's strength would be so terrifying? As expected of someone who could use the Divine Book as a war hammer. If this continued, my tonsils would be squeezed out by her!
After struggling for a long time, seeing that this guy didn't seem to have any intention of letting go, I could only throw caution to the wind. Gritting my teeth, I aimed at the biggest target in front of me and prepared to attack. My arm went around the side, and my movements were as smooth as flowing water — — Chest!
I was actually no stranger to this move. Due to various reasons, I had tested it on Shallow Shallow and Sandora. Also, due to various reasons, the success rate had always been high. However, using it on Icetis was a complete accident. But — it still worked!
Reality proved that the size of the target and the success rate of the attack were directly proportional.
Icetis's reaction wasn't slow either. She shuddered and seemed to be stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and grabbed my neck as she stood up. She faced the sea of clouds with a face full of peach blossoms.
Later that afternoon, I found an observation station near the North Pole and changed to a shuttle to return to General City. The wind on the Divine Fog Planet was really strong …
The next day, the engineering fleets that had been dispatched to various parts of the galaxy sent signals that they were in position. Sandora's "Phantom Project" had officially begun. More than 130 construction teams led by the Schilling Main Engine began to construct illegal buildings within a radius of 100,000 light-years. Hundreds of ruins of the old Empire that had been silent for tens of thousands of years started to shine with blue light. Previously, the Imperial Army had been engaged in demolition work. Now, it turned out that we were also very good at illegal construction. When the first Xi Ling Hive was completed, Lina said something very philosophical, "Don't worry, I won't kill you.
You are a bunch of perverted perverts …
Now, I had begun to enjoy guarding in front of the star map when I had nothing to do. I looked at the countless light dots that represented the movements of the Imperial Army. The entire galaxy was gradually dyed in the color of the Empire. This was really a strange thing. The so-called greatest sense of accomplishment in life was nothing more than this. Before me, more than a hundred engineering teams were almost evenly distributed across the galaxy. But if I looked closely, I could see that they had formed a meticulously designed three-dimensional grid. Basically, any base that was built by an engineering team could connect more than three equal length lines to the nearest base. Those lines were preset warp paths that could ensure that the entire base network could quickly support each other in the event of an attack. All these bases were built at the exact same pace. The Schilling Main Engine that came from the same mother body had accelerated their coordination to a terrifying degree.
The harassment fleet of the Avengers didn't appear. But just as Sandora and I had predicted, they wouldn't just stand by and watch as the enemy built more than a hundred bunkers in their own yard. Speaking of which, the yard was a little too big. So, less than thirty minutes after the construction began, there were reports of unidentified probes coming from the bases. It was obvious that such a large-scale operation had attracted the attention of the Avengers who were hiding somewhere. But in the end, these probes were fruitless because the information interference of more than a dozen mass-produced main engines was not that easy to break. The mass-produced Schilling Main Engine distorted the information layer in a relatively large area around them when they built their bases. Any long-range probes would only see a snapshot of the meticulously disguised 'wreckage'. It would seem that this layer of insurance was absolutely necessary. The weakest part of Shadora's plan would be the initial stages of the construction of these fake bases. At this weak foundational stage, it would be incredibly easy for the Xi Ling mainframe to interrupt the work of the Xi Ling mainframe. Basically, it would only take a few motherships to forcefully attack, and the entire construction team would be forced to retreat. And according to my initial estimations, even with the Xi Ling mainframe's information interference, we would still lose a few 'bases' at the start.
"This is just the beginning. It won't go on so smoothly." Sandora stood beside me in front of the star map. "The Avengers have just been ambushed and are now in a state of caution to prevent another ambush. But it won't be long before they send a squad to scout out the bases."
"If we speed up the construction, they'll be facing countless fully-armed space fortresses."
My sister had arrived beside the star map at some point in time. She glanced at the blinking dots before handing me an Information Terminal. "Did you get Seves to compile a timetable?"
I had almost forgotten about it. It was only when my sister reminded me that I remembered, and I became delighted. "It's done?!"
My sister nodded and pointed at the Information Terminal in my hand. "You'll be surprised."
