Extraordinary pedigree

Under Mu's leadership, Xia Xiu has slowly walked out of the fourth floor [Azlut].

Then, he left the fourth level through the [Rainbow Bridge] inside the genealogy.

When Xia Xiu opened his eyes again, he was already in the Alchemy Engineering Department on the second floor.

He didn’t know whether [the Rainbow Bridge] was intentional or accidental.

When Xia Xiu crossed the [Rainbow Bridge] in the Kingdom of Heaven and came to the Alchemy Engineering Department on the second floor, the first thing that caught his eye was the breathtaking [Prometheus]. This huge mechanical behemoth stands silently in the center of the Engineering Department, and its majestic sight makes it difficult to take your eyes away.

Immediately afterwards, his attention was attracted by a group of busy engineers.

They were looking at themselves, and their eyes revealed endless exhaustion and pressure, like social animals who had worked long hours until they were about to explode.

The tools in their hands and the drawings in front of them are piled up, and they have obviously been working overtime to the extreme.

With this kind of aura, you can tell at a glance that they are "the same kind" - everyone is a social animal.

When these engineers noticed Xia Xiu's appearance, they all turned their heads and looked at him with eyes that were squeezed to the limit by work.

"……Hello you all."

He responded with an awkward but friendly smile, as if silently conveying: everyone is the same.

When the Fourth Swordsman of the Kingdom stepped into the hangar, every member of the engineering team immediately recognized him.

This is the nominal boss and leader of their project.

Moreover, they knew that the person standing in front of them was not only a high-level angel, but also the nominal person in charge and the actual beneficiary of the project at hand.

This young man with blond hair and golden eyes has an unparalleled status in the Kingdom of Heaven - he is comparable to a fighter among social animals, possessing unparalleled strength and execution ability.

The fourth sword bearer is a brick in the hands of the Kingdom of Heaven, moving wherever it is needed.

Facing the smile of the blond young man, the engineers responded with a smile, but there was a hint of helplessness and exhaustion in their smiles.

This was not because they lacked respect or affection for the fourth sword holder, but the continuous overtime and heavy work made them almost lose their smiles.

They have polite but somewhat mechanical smiles on their faces, and their eyes reveal their weakness and exhaustion from long hours of work.

I want to take a vacation...

Xia Xiu read this luxury-like thought from everyone's eyes.

It is impossible to take a vacation, not in this life.

Everyone in this land is talented, and there are many who are seeking death and causing trouble.

There are Honkai crises and trouble-making evil gods everywhere. Angels can only keep Terra safe by working overtime.

Therefore, after taking a glance at the fourth sword holder, the engineers continued their heavy work.

Xia Xiu subconsciously took a look at the huge mechanical structure at the front of the hangar. Its streamlined shell was exquisite and solid, shining with a cold metallic luster. The mechanical arms in the hangar were busy surrounding this giant machine. Their movements are dexterous and precise, as if they are performing a silent symphony.

Precision diagnostic tools gently slide over the surface of the machine, and the automated maintenance system makes a subtle and rhythmic mechanical sound.

At the front of the hangar center, a brass-colored humanoid mechanical structure was holding an operating panel and gesticulating to a group of engineers on the side. There was a gray cat near the brass robot.

The brass-colored robot is [Mr. Brass] that Xia Xiu brought back from the mechanical city-state in the inner earth world, and the gray cat is naturally the machine spirit Gray Wind from the [Ice Source Walker] on Callisto.

Gray Feng was lazily lying on a mechanical arm that was in correct state, watching other mechanical arms maintain the gospel machine in front of him.

"Meow--"

Suddenly, the gray cat, who was resting lazily on the robotic arm, seemed to sense something and stood up suddenly, then quickly looked down.

Under it, the blond young man smiled warmly at him.

"Meow--"

Gray Feng looked excited, and then used a series of dexterous jumps to come to the blond young man, then quickly climbed onto the other's right shoulder, and then rubbed his furry head affectionately against the other's cheek.

Xia Xiu had a smile on his face and stretched out his left hand to scratch Hui Feng's chin. The other person narrowed his eyes in comfort.

Before taking Callisto home, he asked [Ice Walker] to take the abandoned [Subspace Engine] and run back to Terra.

And something interesting happened during this period.

That is, when Bazin, the only survivor of the entire [Sea of ​​Fog Incident], returned to Terra, he happened to be on the same batch of ether air lines as the large-scale airdrops of Death Angels from the Kingdom of Heaven.

Therefore, the hunter from Iberia was directly controlled on the spot and kept in the temporary prisoner of war processing area of ​​​​the Kingdom of Heaven in Iberia.

This hunter, who was brought back from Callisto by the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven, would probably feel very uncomfortable when faced with the two events of [Great Silence] and [Destruction of the Armada].

Moreover, he still has the label of being rescued by the Kingdom of Heaven. It is estimated that he will have to face a lot of rumors when he returns to Iberia in the future.

Xia Xiu could only express his blessings to the only survivor he rescued.

At this moment, while rubbing Gray Feng's chin, he followed his spiritual perception to the dock area where the [Icefield Walker] was docked.

"Where's hope?"

On the way, he said something to Hui Feng.

"Meow——" Gray Wind meowed.

"Asleep again?"

As the captain, Xia Xiu naturally understood instantly. When he heard that Hope fell asleep again, his golden eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Hope's sleep state reflects, to some extent, information about the deity on Jupiter.

Depending on the situation, the stars in the [Crystal Sky] are not as indifferent to the King of Volcano being sealed as they imagined...

While he was meditating, he came to the dock space next to the hangar. This space was as spectacular as the hangar.

There are two huge ships docked.

The ship of the [Ice Walker] appears to be in good condition, in sharp contrast to the other ship next to it.

The size of this ship exceeds that of the [Ice Walker]. Its total length reaches an astonishing 250 to 300 meters. Even in a damaged state, its scale is still shocking. Its flight deck is about 60 to 70 meters wide, but it is now covered with damage and marks.

There are scorch marks and bullet holes left on the surface of the ship, and each mark tells the story of the cruelty of the cosmic battlefield; the edges of the ship's breaches are twisted, as if they were roughly torn apart by a huge force.

On the deck, some engineers and maintenance robots can be seen busily shuttling back and forth, trying to repair this once mighty giant ship.

"La Reina——"

Xia Xiu slowly read the name of the broken ship in front of him in his heart. He had a relatively deep memory of this ship.

In the frontal battlefield of the fourth guide chain, [La Reina] is the most "small and exquisite" of all Iberian ships.

Compared with the size of those ships that are also part of the Armada but are kilometers or even 10,000 meters long, the size of a conventional aircraft carrier like the Larena is too small and exquisite.

To be honest, the 10,000-meter ship setting of the Iberian Armada is a very outrageous thing in itself.

However, considering that they are ships built together with the Yis race and the Mi.G race on the sunken continent of Mu, then such an outrageous thing is much more reasonable.

After all, under the premise of tripartite cooperation, Iberia will definitely not be able to do whatever it wants. The design and aesthetics of the ship will definitely be closer to the other two extraterrestrial civilizations. It is estimated that the [La Reina] and other sizes are relatively normal. The ship is already the last design dignity of Iberia.

Xia Xiu stood quietly in front of the broken Larena, a trace of blue data flashing in his eyes.

He slowly circulated the authoritative thing [Broken Fire] in his body, using the power of the fire to sense the damage to the ship.

"Broken Fire·Full Wisdom Scan——"

With the activation of [Broken Fire] in his hand, a layer of azure color blocks that could only be observed within his unique time domain began to rapidly scan back and forth around the ship.

These blue light blocks seemed to be alive. They covered the entire Larena at an astonishing speed, from the tip to the stern of the ship, without missing any corner.

As the scan progressed, various information about the ship began to be directly fed back to Xia Xiu's mind.

He could clearly see every damaged part of the ship, every crack and bullet hole displayed before his eyes.

——Quanzhi Scan——

[Shell integrity: 45%]

There are a large number of tears and bullet holes in the outer shell, especially the middle and tail parts of the starship.

[Internal frame stability: 62%]

Details: Multiple load-bearing structures have been deformed or broken, especially in areas near the reactor.

[Significant Area Damage Report]

Bridge control room: 70% intact

Main engine area: 30% intact

Reactor area: 20% intact

Ship-based hangar: intactness 55%

Life support system: 60% intact

Weapon system: 40% intact

[Critical System Status]

Navigation system: partially available (performance reduced by 60%)

Communications system: severely damaged (efficiency reduced by 80%)

Energy supply system: extremely unstable

Defense systems: mostly ineffective

[Machine Soul State]

Not in the system (Note: The ship's machine soul has been lost and may have been removed or destroyed in battle.)

————

"Less than half of the overall structural integrity remains. The severe damage to the outer shell and the instability of the internal frame have almost made it lose the ability to sail again. Especially the main engine area and the reactor area, the entirety has been hollowed out."

After scanning the ship, Xia Xiu mentally summarized the status of the [Lareina].

Judging from the damage to the ship, it is basically hopeless.

The parts of the ship's engine and reactor area have also been completely emptied, and the most important machine soul is gone, which means that the ship has become an empty shell.

Poof——

Just as Xia Xiu carefully looked at the dilapidated condition of the Larena and evaluated it, the metal door beside the dock slowly opened with a slight sound.

He turned his head and looked at the metal door that slowly opened.

At the gate, a middle-aged man in military uniform appeared. He was walking out of the gate, facing him.

The middle-aged man exudes seriousness and authority that cannot be ignored. He wears a well-designed dark green military coat with eye-catching shoulder straps and neat double-breasted buttons, revealing a military style.

His silver-white hair was neatly trimmed, in stark contrast to his deep and resolute face. The lines on his face were hard, and even with a smile on his lips, he couldn't hide his cold and serious temperament. His black pupils were deep and sharp, as if he could see into the deepest parts of people's hearts.

Immediately behind the middle-aged man was a young clerk holding a folder.

The young clerk seemed to be trying hard to match the pace of the middle-aged man. His expression was serious and his eyes were staring intently ahead. He was obviously very serious about his work. Under the solemn aura of a middle-aged man, he seemed a little nervous, but tried to appear calm and composed.

The moment the middle-aged man walked out of the metal door, his eyes instantly met the eyes of the young man with blond hair and golden eyes.

At this moment, it seemed that the surrounding noise and the roar of machinery disappeared, leaving behind the silent exchange between the two people's eyes.

Nemo Yegor.

Hugh Abraham.

The two parties recognized each other almost instantly. As high-level angels in the genealogy, they had seen the portraits of both parties countless times on different occasions.

It can be said that they know each other.

It's just that this is the first time that we have been face to face in person.

After all, Angel is usually very busy. Even if there is a group meeting, Eden is asked to put his own projection in the conference room.

"Lord Yegor, the man in front is Lord Abraham..."

When the secretary next to Yegor saw the blond young man, he immediately reported to his superior. Although his voice was slight, it was full of respect and excitement that could not be concealed.

It is undoubtedly a rare experience for a young clerk to meet such a senior leader at such a close distance.

He looked at the blond young man with eyes full of curiosity, respect, and even a hint of awe.

He had always only heard about the legendary characters in the Kingdom of Heaven, but now that he could see them with his own eyes, his heart naturally went up and down.

He looked at Xia Xiu carefully with the kind of curiosity and respect for heroes, as if he wanted to read more stories from every detail of this legendary figure.

Yegor glanced sideways at his secretary, and naturally noticed the performance of this young angel who had just come out of the two houses.

It seems that Hugh Abraham's prestige among the younger generation of angels is higher than he imagined. Yegor thought to himself.

He stepped forward steadily, shortening the distance between him and the young man with blond hair and golden eyes.

When he walked in front of Xia Xiu, he stretched out a steady and strong hand, ready to shake hands with Xia Xiu.

Xia Xiu smiled politely, stretched out his hand and held it tightly with the middle-aged man.

"Hello, first time meeting you, I've heard of you for a long time."
