Chapter 147: 147
Ep. 147
–
Orbital bombardment of 'holy sites' defined by the cult's priests and prophets.
It's not impossible, but it's not commonly done.
No, to put it bluntly, it is a very rare thing.
This is because the Holy Land is a planet designated by prophets after spending a very long time interpreting the passages mentioned in the 'Providence' that cults regard as sacred.
Providence is like a scripture and norm that encompasses the past, present, and future of a cult.
Therefore, the holy places mentioned in the providence cannot be touched carelessly.
Even if there is a possibility that it could be a danger to the empire.
'That's the way it is.'
No matter how faithful a believer is, there will often come a time when he or she must compromise between faith and reality. The same goes for cults.
In very exceptional cases, special measures are taken against sacred sites, one of which is when the entire planet is eroded by pollutants.
Jason also took aim at this and put strong pressure on the cult council and senate to complete the purification mission. Cynthia, a member of the Prophets' Association, also offered support, saying that there was an error in the existing interpretation of providence.
The order of purification, which was contrary to providence, was able to be carried out because the three major power institutions of the cult empire, the Council of Senators and the Society of Prophets, acted.
If the purification order had been issued properly, it would not have been as problematic as it is now. If the contaminants that the cult empire considers most dangerous are eliminated, Jason's opponents will also lose their justification for criticizing them.
However, the purification mission failed and the imperial carrier and carrier group were destroyed.
Because the empire suffered enormous damage, the position of Jason and Cynthia, who pushed ahead with the purification mission even by going against providence, was in an awkward position.
Even if things work out and the pressure on Jason is reduced, it will be nearly impossible for him to regain the power he once had.
Most long-lived cults, excluding cults that have migrated to other factions, are conservative in nature due to their racial characteristics. They will never forget Jason's mistake.
'Besides, there is another really big problem.'
Cynthia said Jason had gone into hiding to avoid a council order, but Chloe could easily guess what he was doing.
'Fuck the seclusion. 'He's probably getting ready to run away.'
Anyone who has been playing space survival for a while knows this.
Sending an imperial ship to a holy place is something only a player would do, not a cult.
There is a high probability that the 5th place Eimov Ranker also knows who the person who attacked him is, or will soon find out.
In other words, the next target for that infamous morph is Jason.
'I could chase him to the end of the universe and still survive.'
I know this well because I experienced it with Chloe too. I interfered with the evolution without knowing I was in 5th place, and I almost quit the game because of his retaliation.
I know Jason also had a similar experience. Since he even posted an apology on the community, it can be seen that he suffered worse than her.
'…Should I run away too?'
As Chloe was lost in thought, one of the silent tombstones began to emit light.
It was Zubaka's tombstone.
｢If the ship was completely destroyed, what happened
to the related records
?' ｢Related records
?'
"Militarily, the concept of annihilation is used when combat functions have been lost to the extent that missions cannot be continued. Just because the entire carrier group was lost, it is difficult to say that there were no escapees."
Among those present, Zubaka is the only one working in the military. He is the grand leader of the Star Union and the commander-in-chief of the machine fleet. So I understood exactly what Cynthia meant.
Cynthia responded to Zubaka's words.
"Only one ship out of 50 returned from the carrier battle group. As it was destroyed in half, 80% of the crew died and the ship returned to its original state. The captain of the imperial carrier 'Judge of Damos 08' was killed, and only 20 people aboard the escape ship survived." "What was the
cause of the destruction?"
"As a result of the investigation, the darkness of the Cosmic Bolt was caused by an unidentified energy projectile. It turned out that the material exploded retrograde. "
What do the living crew members say?"
｢….｣
Cynthia suddenly closed her mouth in response to Chloe's question. Cynthia, who had been quick to answer questions up until now, hesitated for the first time.
"What did you say?"
"…It was said to be a three-headed devil that wields lightning."
"Uh…No way?"
｢Пиздец(Damn it)!｣
The three-headed devil. Chloe knows very well what that nickname means.
"It's already evolved into an adult?"
"If it is an adult, then it is understandable that the carrier group was destroyed."
As Aimorph is a long-lived race, it becomes very powerful as it goes on. The Aimorph Adult can fight and subdue elite troops and elite fleets.
Moreover, looking at the destruction of the imperial carrier and carrier battle group, it may have secured many Yuil-class characteristics.
"If it is an adult Amorph, we will be in danger too. "You know, right?"
"I'll contact Old Man Chit."
"And Cynthia. Can you upload the video you shot of him right now?"
"The quality of the video isn't very good."
"I don't think it's time to talk about the video quality right now."
"Okay." "Wait a moment…huh?"
"What's wrong…huh?"
While the three were talking, a tombstone lying on the floor floated into the air.
Eventually, the tombstone began to shine and the old man's voice rang out in the dark cavity.
"It's been a long time."
As the saying goes, even a tiger will come when he speaks, the new participant was the person Chloe usually calls old man.
"long time no see. Are you at peace? "Akira Eugene."
This was Akira Eugene, the CEO of Megacorp and the old king of Earth.
–
'Now I can live a little longer.'
It was the second day since the imperial carrier's air attack was prevented. I finally recovered enough to be able to move as before.
On the first day, I just slept without moving. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he ate the food brought by No. 26 and Adhai Heavenly Mother to appease his hunger and fell asleep again.
I was finally able to wake up thanks to resting like a cold patient.
No. 26 and Adhai, who had devotedly nursed me all day, collapsed as soon as they confirmed that I had returned to normal.
No. 26 was because of fatigue, and Aadhai was because his life was truly in danger. Even though it was attacked by the Horned Gigant last time and its ribs and wings were broken, it continued to carry food.
I quickly attached symbiotic spores to them and moved them to their underground nest. More than 80% of the nest collapsed due to the confrontation with the imperial carrier, but there remains enough space for No. 26 and Aadhai to lie down.
I had even put food in it so that it could appease its hunger when it woke up, and I was currently traveling with Heavenly Mother.
"Of all the crashed ships, this one is the closest."
"I think so."
It's just as she said. From beyond the forest, there is a faint smell of alloy plates scorched by strong heat at the end of an auxiliary engine.
Now we are looking for the cult ships that crashed after being hit by my psychic breath.
Most of the crashed ships fell into the sea or other continents, but some ships crashed on the continent of Seintopia 02, where we are located.
'I have something to experiment with.'
Whether a ship that crashed and was severely damaged can also be subject to domination. If control is possible, it would be a good idea to consider the ship as an object of erosion.
'Originally, I was going to leave on a deep-sea research base.'
The research base is made of black silver and is very large. If the Black Silver effect still remains after I erode it, it will be a great help when fighting cults you may encounter in the future. Since it is incredibly large, it will be much easier to fool the enemies on board.
'Of course, there are drawbacks.'
A larger size means that the area hit increases. In fact, increasing the area hit during a fleet battle does more harm than good.
Of course, I can strengthen the ship's durability, but that doesn't mean it won't be attacked at all.
Also, the material called black silver is a double-edged sword. This is because I don't know how the limitations will affect me when I use Psychic Breath.
'On the other hand, cult ships are better suited for combat.'
This is a sea I already experienced when I took over Space Dog's ship last time.
While defending against the Metallic Gremlin attack, the ship's weapons were actively used.
Moreover, the ship was a trading ship, not a combat ship. If they could erode the cult's warships and dominate them, they would be much stronger.
'Well, I don't know yet how much damage has been done or whether erosion is possible.'
Heavenly Mother has better eyesight than I do. If it were her, she might already be able to see the crashed ship.
"Can you check what the ship looks like?"
"I could only see a little bit because I fell and hit the ground. "Just looking at the part above the ground, it doesn't seem like the damage is that bad."
"Thank goodness."
I glanced at Mother Heaven running next to me.
Golden fur reminiscent of a ripe barley field. Although it looks shiny and clean and beautiful now, I remember it. The sight of her covered in soot all over her body as she nursed me.
Like No. 26 Aadhai, she also did her best for my survival.
'I'll have to repay you someday.'
I know that her actions were due to a contract she made with me. However, this does not take away the fact that my Heavenly Mother nursed me.
I plan to give her appropriate compensation later when I have the chance.
'Now that I think about it, I haven't said I'm sorry yet.'
He tried to eat her for failing to protect Aadhai, but it was a misunderstanding.
Adhai, who felt that she was being left behind by No. 26 and Heavenly Mother, acted unexpectedly, but she was not at fault.
I tried to apologize, but things happened one after another and I couldn't say anything yet.
"There's a boat in front of here. "As you know, there seem to be some survivors."
"Wait a minute. "Before that, I have something to say."
"What should I say?"
I stopped moving my legs quickly and stood in place. When I suddenly stopped, she stopped running too.
She with the elegant head of an eagle tilts her head. I said looking into her amber eyes.
"What happened with Aadhai last time?"
"Huh?"
"I misunderstood. So I want to apologize."
"uh. Huh?」
She blinks after hearing my apology. She asked back as if she didn't understand what she heard.
"What did you say just now? "Tell me again."
"I'm sorry for not trusting you."
Heavenly Mother opened her mouth wide when she saw me apologizing again.
"I made a rash judgment. "Let's make sure nothing like this happens in the future."
"Honestly, I don't believe it right now, but tell me one more time."
"…I'm sorry. "I will be careful in the future."
She seemed to understand that I was serious and stopped teasing me. She looked into my eyes with serious eyes.
"okay. I don't know if I'm in a position to receive an apology. Because it is true that Aadhai could not be protected. So, I apologize too."
"Okay."
"Then this is the end."
"Good."
I nodded and she sighed.
"and. I never thought I'd hear an apology from Morph Park here that I've never heard before in the game. "I can't believe it."
She shook her head, unsure whether it was admiration or mockery.
I thought about pointing out that I had never done anything in the game to deserve an apology to her, but decided against it.
'Tsk. 'It's true that I did something wrong.'
While I was thinking that, I sensed something moving in my auxiliary organ. The sound of footsteps that repeat regularly, the heartbeat that reveals a nervous state, and the unique smell of sweat and metal mixed together.
Putting this all together, it wasn't difficult to figure out who the enemy was.
[Zuzuzu (enemy)]
"That's right."
Heaven's Mother, who recognized it slightly later than I did, looked between the trees.
｢Cult survivors. The number is…｣
[Zuzu (six)]
｢The armament is crude except for the purple spray gun.｣
[Zuzuzu zuzuzu (It won't be difficult)]
After resting for a day, my body It's a suitable opponent to solve the problem.
