I felt that back then, when my sister drew circles on the body of this unlucky Fallen Apostle, it might have already led to serious consequences. Regardless of whether it was the dark half an hour when he was first captured or the strange incidents that happened every day in the prison, they all left Carter mentally and physically exhausted. The psychological shadow left behind was even more serious than that of the prison's computer. Now, he was extremely sensitive to anything that appeared circular, including the London Olympic Games. It was truly unimaginable. If he could get a fright when the Olympic flag flashed across the screen, how excited would he be when he saw a large group of people smashing a large circle with a radius of over a hundred meters during the opening ceremony? In any case, I felt that if my sister drew such a large circle, the end of the world wouldn't have anything to do with Hollywood anymore.
Sives had already received the news and prepared an identification ID and a schedule for Carter in the command headquarters. There were also Empire soldiers receiving him. There was no welcoming party, nor were there any procedures or ceremonies for the handover of work. In just a few minutes, Carter entered his new post and began to handle the various information that he needed to grasp as quickly as possible. Everything was done with the high efficiency of the Empire's style. I could even guarantee that after twenty-four hours, that fellow would be able to properly complete his work in the command headquarters like a veteran officer of the Imperial Army.
Sandora and I both felt that we should reorganize this military specialist group into an independent organization, separating it from the conventional tactical team of the command headquarters. Before today, even though we had a group of think tanks that specialized in analyzing the military intelligence of the Fallen Apostles, due to the lack of detailed and direct information and the lack of a true specialist, they could only exist as a group of staff with vague responsibilities. Now that Carter has arrived, everything has changed. We have a true specialist that knows the frontline military intelligence of the Fallen Apostles like the back of his hand. Furthermore, he has brought us a large amount of standard equipment used by the Fallen Apostles' ordinary soldiers. With Carter's help, perhaps the command headquarters will be able to quickly establish a specialized department to deal with the enemy. I believe that the Fallen Apostles have a battle command that specializes in dealing with the Imperial Army right from the start because they know the Imperial Army like the back of their hand right from the start. On the other hand, it was only until today that we were able to catch up to the enemy in terms of knowing ourselves and knowing the enemy.
This newly established specialist department was ultimately named the 'Third Intelligence Core'. This was Sandora's opinion.
I knew that Sandora's opinion would always have its basis. However, this' Third Intelligence Core 'really gave me a strange feeling. This clear name definitely had some sort of backstory, and it wasn't something that Sandora came up with on a whim.
"The Third Intelligence Core is a term that existed even more ancient than the Old Empire," Sandora explained to me. "During the later stages of the Old Empire, an army only had two intelligence cores. One of them was used to grasp the movements of the enemy. The other was used to monitor the situation within the territory, including the various colonies and various demilitarized zones. As for the Third Intelligence Core, it was used to monitor the Third Faction. The latter didn't belong to the Abyss Faction, nor did they belong to the Empire Faction, nor were they allies of the Empire Faction. Instead, they were other advanced civilizations that were independent of both of us. These civilizations that didn't 'establish diplomatic relations' with the Empire and didn't collude with the Abyss were collectively known as the Third Faction. During the early stages of the Old Empire, there were many civilizations in this Faction, and they were a considerable military force. Thus, many of the armies of the Empire had a specialized Third Intelligence Core that was used to deal with the information of these secessionists.
Now that I mentioned this name, I guess it's a little historical. "Sandora explained. However, I felt that there was actually another explanation for this Third Intelligence Core. It indicated that the Fallen Apostles had already been completely excluded from the Empire Faction, but they weren't completely part of the Abyss Faction. All the evidence indicated that even though the Fallen Apostles had been converted by the power of the Abyss, they weren't controlled by it. On the contrary, they were still attempting to control the Abyss. Even though the success rate of this plan was extremely doubtful, at the very least, it showed that the Fallen Apostles and the pure Abyss Faction weren't completely the same thing.
I also noticed something else. When Sandora mentioned the Third Intelligence Core, she specifically emphasized that this was a theory from the early days of the old Empire. It seemed that in the latter half of the history of the old Empire, this theory had already disappeared without a trace. Why was that?
"It's because the Third Faction was gone," Sandora replied matter-of-factly. "At the very least, as far as we know, the Third Faction was almost completely wiped out. A portion of them were eliminated by the Abyss, while another portion were eliminated by the Empire. In the end, the remaining ones joined the Empire and Protoss United Front. After that, the strategic significance of the Third Intelligence Core declined, and it was gradually abolished. The civilizations that were outside of the Empire United Front still exist, but they are only a few of them. No one cares if they live or die."
I felt a chill run down my spine after hearing this. Seriously …
This was the standard style of the old Empire. There were only two sides to the millions of worlds. They were either on my side or against me. No one was allowed to be a bystander. Otherwise, they would all be eliminated. This thought had existed since the beginning of the old Empire and reached its peak during the Great Expansion. Basically, all civilizations that weren't on the same side as the Empire were wiped out. The remaining civilizations, no matter how strong or weak, had to unconditionally ally with the Empire and fight to the death against the Abyss. So, rather than saying that the Third Intelligence Core gradually lost its strategic significance, it would be more accurate to say that the Third Faction was completely wiped out …
If there were any survivors among the advanced civilizations that had fought alongside the Empire back then, would they be shocked to hear that the Third Intelligence Core, which caused people to pale at the mere mention of it, had revived? Even though the Third Intelligence Core was now completely different from its predecessor.
"Ah Jun, are you still worried about the Duplication Plan?"
After exiting the military zone, Sandora noticed that I seemed to be absent-minded. She gently pinched my arm and asked softly.
"How should I put it? It's really weird that I'm the one in charge of this." I felt all sorts of tangled and subtle emotions in my heart. "Carter obviously doesn't know much. I don't know if those fellows are duplicating a group or just one. If it's the former, it might be better. If there's a large number of them, the quality would most likely be that of a strong random soldier. But if they're duplicating just one …"
"No matter what, a fake is still a fake." Sandora waved her hand nonchalantly. "Besides, Carter himself can't be sure that they're duplicating you. I reckon that with the Fallen Apostle's abilities, he can at most create a few strengthened soldiers with powers similar to yours and carry some Void Ability equipment, just like what Tawil has done. She has already started developing an energy plundering device that can be carried by a single soldier. "
I thought about it and felt that there really wasn't much to worry about. However, I definitely felt uncomfortable. "When the time comes, when I open my eyes, there will be more than a hundred of me standing in front of me. That would be too horrifying."
"What is there to be horrifying about? Look at the group in front." Sandora burst into laughter. Then, she pointed to the front. I lifted my head and saw five or six ravens walking over from the direction of the business street.
"They have to watch a few thousand of themselves walking around the dormitory area every day. You have more than ten thousand little Osaka sisters and more than twenty thousand big-headed dolls …"
At that moment, I felt that the small troubles that I'd encountered were really insignificant compared to those fellows.
"So, there will always be only one Ah Jun. You don't have to be so conflicted. As for the fake created by the Fallen Apostle …" Sandora smiled at me, but the second half of her sentence was filled with killing intent. "I will not leave a single one alive. I will destroy them all! Furthermore, they will have to pay the price for this plan! "
Sandora suddenly revealed a chilly killing intent. Her ocean-blue eyes didn't conceal her anger at all. However, this expression only flashed for a moment. Very quickly, she regained her radiant smile.
"Doing this kind of thing has perfectly touched my bottom line."
It was said that a girl's heart was ever-changing. Even if the core of this girl's thoughts were placed next to her stomach, it would still be the same. She instantly revealed her domineering aura. Before anyone could react, she pulled me forward with large strides. Her mood had mysteriously improved. "Let's go to Avalon to take a look!"
Avalon, as always, was a beautiful and peaceful place. When one was stressed out, coming here for a walk was always the best way to relax. From the steel jungle of the Shadow City's military district to the fairytale-like Avalon, it only took an instant for a white light to flash. In front of us, the streets of the city turned into a boundless grassland.
"This seems to be the border area?"
Previously, I didn't know where Sandora planned to take me. I thought that we would go to the Fairy Lake. This girl liked the fish there, especially when it was roasted. However, it seemed that Sandora wasn't hungry. She pulled me to a somewhat unfamiliar grassland. Looking into the distance, we could see a mountain range that was almost disappearing beyond the horizon. This meant that this place was quite far from the center of Avalon. I looked back and saw that a few hundred meters away was a tumbling sea of white fog. Large patches of white clouds slowly drifted at the end of the land. Above the sea of clouds, the magnificent white flowing clouds were like a white curtain hanging from the sky, forming a spectacular hanging waterfall. The land under our feet ended at the edge of the sea of clouds. We could see a very clear dividing line.
I knew that the clouds weren't a normal atmospheric phenomenon in the natural world. They were actually the boundary of this world. After two years of growth, Avalon was now a rather large continent. However, it still had a boundary, and the boundary should naturally have some landmark. Jingle had lazily drawn a bunch of doodles. That was the boundless sea of clouds in front of us.
"The scenery here isn't bad."
Sandora pulled me to the boundary of the sea of clouds and sat on the grass nonchalantly. "It's been quite stressful recently. So, from now on, don't think about anything else. Accompany me to look at the sea of clouds."
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
I brushed Sandora's hair with a smile and sat next to her. The grass was unexpectedly soft, like a thick blanket. I casually plucked a stalk of grass from the ground and bit into it. I realized that it had a creamy mint flavor.
I was speechless.
"Jingle must have had candy in her mouth when she was doing this," Sandora also plucked a stalk of grass from the ground and put it in her mouth. Her expression was subtle.
Sea of clouds, green grass, blue sky, young couple, sitting side by side in this scenery. You definitely wouldn't know what we were doing next. Sandora was eating the grass, and I was helping her pluck it …
"That, baby, I feel that we must have made a mistake."
Looking at Sandora eating the fresh stalk of grass with gusto (of course, I also tasted some myself), I felt that it was so weird.
To be fair, I don't think any of you have ever gone on a date like this.
"What's wrong?" Sandora licked her lips. "Does Ah Jun think that this will make him unhappy? Ah, try this. This kind of grass with three leaves looks like it tastes like a spicy chicken leg with wheat sauce. "
… Jingle, just how bored are you usually?
It seemed that the truth couldn't be changed. I had to learn to adapt to the abnormal daily life brought by the abnormal people around me. Maybe watching Sandora eat grass on a date was a different kind of romance. People should have a contented heart. Otherwise, I would one day be tormented by these happy girls around me.
Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly felt a warm fragrance coming from beside me. Then, a soft body appeared in my arms.
Sandora came over without any warning. It was surprising, but I didn't say anything. I just gently pinched her nose and lowered my head to kiss her lips. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just want Ah Jun to hug me," the girl in my arms said softly. The girl in my arms spoke in a soft and gentle voice. It was hard to imagine that the same voice would be so cold and noble on the other side. I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. I lay back on the grass with Shadora on my chest. Her golden hair spread out like a waterfall, and it was as if she was going to wrap the two of us in a cocoon … What a strange thought.
Perhaps Sandora wanted to use her own methods to temporarily make me forget about those troublesome matters. That included dragging me to see the sea of clouds and eating grass together. I didn't know where she learned these strange methods, but it was definitely learned from the outside world. That was because with this girl's original identity, how could she think of such complicated little tricks? Although she might have been overly concerned and underestimated a certain someone's mental fortitude, seeing her clumsy efforts was actually a very happy thing.
"Lass, say …"
I opened my mouth, but I didn't hear the girl in my arms respond. I lowered my head and discovered that Sandora had closed her eyes and was snoring softly in my arms. She had actually fallen asleep.
Originally, Sandora was extremely sensitive to any changes in the outside world. It was almost impossible for her to boldly enter a deep sleep. But perhaps lying in the arms of her lover gave her the greatest sense of security. Such a queen was actually like a little girl who was tired from playing in the wild and fell asleep.
"Truly inconceivable, in every sense of the word."
This sentence suddenly appeared in my mind. I raised my head and looked to the side. What entered my eyes was a gorgeous black evening gown and long silver-white hair that almost reached my ankles.
"I seem to have come at the wrong time?"
Icetis said to me through the mental connection. She looked down at me and Sandora who were lying at her feet like abandoned corpses in the wilderness. Look, it was another very magical association.
I raised my eyelids and looked up. I felt that the scenery was not bad, but I still turned my head to remind her, "Hey, hey, you're completely exposed."
Can't this female pervert have a little bit of awareness of a girl? The position you're standing in is very swift and fierce!
Icetis didn't seem to take my reminder to heart. At the very least, I didn't hear her exclaim or anything. She just casually pressed down on her gown and sat down next to me. She looked at Sandora who was already asleep on my chest and communicated with me through the mental connection, "Unbelievable. Do you know, the previous Sandora would never show such a carefree expression no matter what."
I sighed softly, "I have never seen her so carefree after eating."
Icetis pouted and looked into the distance. There was a large piece of barren land. Regarding this, the pervert goddess sighed, "It seems that your plan to release Sandora into the grassland has finally succeeded. This girl ate more than three hundred square meters of grassland!"
I was speechless, "… How do you know about this plan?"
Icetis rolled her eyes at me, "Sandora told me. You sleep talked at night and announced that you were going to throw her into the grassland to find food on her own. The person next to you heard it and she was depressed until lunch the next day. Do you even know what you're doing? "
I felt that my life was such a failure after hearing what Icetis said. Even this female pervert was questioning whether I knew what I was doing?!
I gently stroked Sandora's blonde hair that flowed down to the ground and slowly wrapped it around my finger. I asked through the mental connection, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen you for two to three days. Where did you go?"
Three days ago, Icetis suddenly told us that she was going on a mission and then there was no news of her. She just came back today. When she appeared earlier, I was a little surprised. The remaining four idiots from the five Protoss Cops weren't clear about this pervert goddess's whereabouts. I didn't have a direct way to contact Icetis, so everyone thought that she went to some remote universe to collect protection fees. Unfortunately, she was caught by the God Realm's Disciplinary Committee and was grounded. But now it seemed that she was just going out to do something, so I was a little curious about her whereabouts.
"I went back to the God Realm," Icetis said casually as she seriously tied Sandora's hair together with the wild grass on the ground. "The old man at home told me to send you his regards. Mom even made a few little clothes for Mercury Lamp … Tsk, why does your unlucky daughter look so much like me? The two elders still think that you and I have an illegitimate daughter! "
I said, "… This isn't my fault, right?"
"Stop talking nonsense. I was supposed to come back in a day, but my mom forced me to learn how to breastfeed the child! Does such a big child even need milk?! They must have gone crazy thinking about the next generation! "
I was stunned when I heard that. The weirdness of Icetis's parents was really amazing. Then, I couldn't help but look at a certain pervert goddess's weapon. I thought about it and concluded, "Mercury Lamp doesn't have such a big appetite …"
Then, Icetis threw a brick at me.
"Anyway, I got into a lot of trouble when I returned to the God Realm." Sister Bing clapped her hands and continued to tie Sandora's hair together with the wild grass. "Also, God Father told me to tell you that he might invite you over again after a while. He has something extremely important to discuss."
This time, I was really stunned.
