Lords: From Civilization to the Stars

"Has the Antarctic shield not been breached yet?"

"No, the federation countries have tried their best, even nuclear weapons have been used, but the area still stands in the environment, and there is no way to deal with it..."

"Is the rune technology so bad? That Leon has no way to infiltrate the human side. How did those lunatics of the Negative Star Church create such a large psychic spire? If these things are really activated, what can we do to stop this thing from destroying us?"

Looking at the tower standing in the illusion, the controller of the player world, the commander of the human federation, is frowning.

The entire Antarctica has now turned into a gorgeous sea of ​​fire under the bombardment of modern weapons. The weapons of the player world are the ultimate weapons of the information age. Those saturation bombings continue to bombard the last bastion of the Negative Star Church, the replica Antarctic spire located at the South Pole.

These Negative Star believers have created a huge spire in Antarctica that is almost comparable to the original psychic spire in the name of replicating psychic technology.

This behemoth took advantage of the productivity of the information age and various rune technologies to create a comprehensive territory of power belonging to the Negative Star Church in the Antarctic region. It can even be said that with the strong support of countries around the world, it is not an exaggeration to say that the entire Negative Star Church has established a country in Antarctica.

Under the fanatical belief, millions of believers arrived in the Antarctic region and began to use various engineering machinery and magical creations in the ice and snow to create a terrifying spire from scratch. People even discovered afterwards that these weird players have completely presented unique characteristics similar to the Negative Star. They worked together as if they were one body, constantly adding bricks and tiles to the entire Antarctic.

After the Negative Star Demon incident, the entire player world was in chaos. It even started a short civil war that many people could not imagine. You know, the player world is different from the other world.

In today's player world, the division of countries has become very vague, and the overall environment and the human federation are the core elements.

Under the premise of such great unification, the Negative Star Church actually accomplished something like seizing power and subverting the internal power structure in just one year, which was unimaginable in the players' thinking. Countless seemingly old and corrupt characters were interfering, and even now some cities have announced their betrayal of the Human Federation.

Immortality and extraordinary power are eternal topics after all. No one can bypass this word with various flavors that can make people feel the piercing loneliness and desire. Few people can break free from this concept.

Even the players themselves don't know how many Negative Star lurkers exist in their world.

You know, things like chaos pollution are still hiding here and there, but the Negative Star is officially recognized for a while, and it really has the ultimate power and the ability to cross the world. The whole world is fanatically pursuing that power and sensory feelings beyond humans. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that it is so terrifying.

More than 70 cities and regions have begun to rebel, and countless street fighting meat grinders have begun to operate. The war machine of the human federation is ruthlessly crushing those scattered negative star people without psychic assistance.

And now, after two months of war, at the cost of 1.7 million deaths, they finally arrived at the last bastion of the negative star church. A total of tens of millions of people have migrated to Antarctica in the past few years. If you think about it carefully, this is simply crazy and impossible, but it happened objectively in the face of faith. This is a unique psychic research base. Before the negative star rebelled, it was even the core of psychic research.

Today, this ice and snow country and huge spire built by tens of millions of people are shedding golden curtains, countless flames and sparks are floating and burning on the surrounding oceans, and the condensed ice crystals even look like fog, lingering over the entire Antarctic continent. However, they still couldn't get in.

Whether it is naval guns, missiles, nuclear weapons, or even experimental phase weapons and some psychic weapons, this huge curtain has always blocked everyone, and the wall of faith has blown the pride of the heartless to pieces.

"Are you still trying to attack the Church of the True God? Fools. Our stupidity and persistence have led to the current result."

Watching the golden curtain resist countless attacks again, the commander frowned, listened to the faint persuasion from afar, and pressed a hidden button.

In each room and passage, some secret runes began to light up at the locations where the current was connected. These symbols began to block the sounds transmitted from the outside world, and gradually modified those symbols that originally penetrated into everyone's soul to charm and tell people to understand and accept them.

However, although the power of hypnosis and brainwashing can correct it, this is all the results of their rune research. For those deeper conversations and thoughts that directly reach people's hearts, these runes have no way to resist. The ripples from the spire of the Antarctic continent began to spread, and the light golden mist began to flicker in the fleet, pouring the voices of the future people into their minds.

"Look, the war machines you are so proud of can't do anything in front of the real power of God. We were orphans walking in the wilderness, unable to see the direction of the lighthouse."

"But now it's different. You have seen it. This is the power and glory of God. This great power, great color, all the power contained here, you should have seen it. No one can deny that this is what the real God can do. He is in our hearts."

"We can survive without souls. It's better to say that our souls are the real parasites. Only by removing the parasites in our minds, only When all the demons are destroyed, we can reach the real world unity. Haven't you noticed? The pure concept brought by the Negative Star is the real peace. Shouldn't we learn from the Negative Star who are connected as one? "

"Fellow warriors, comrades who are still lost, you should have seen it, and even many people have felt the purity of the Negative Star. You also know that he is the one who really wants to pull us out of the abyss of hell. "

"So, what are we waiting for? Pray towards a brighter light and attack the future. We need you. "

"..."

It's time to prepare for the impact of the internal environment.

Listening to the demonic sound that entered the brain gradually dissipated, the commander shook his head and felt that his whole body began to be a little out of balance. Even if he could resist hypnosis, the real conversation was enough to confuse people.

Especially those individuals who have psychic power and understand the existence of the other world. They were infiltrated with psychic power and various things in their minds, and gradually alienated into an unusual appearance. Now it is easy to be instigated. But what's worse is that without these people, they would never have been able to break through the Antarctic Fortress.

"Pass on my order, everyone prepare for impact prevention. If any ship is trying to attack friendly forces, sink it directly."

Shaking his noisy head, the commander covered his forehead and said to his adjutant.

The adjutant, who looked calm and powerful, nodded, picked up the microphone and broadcast to the full channel, and once again told the words of the negative star in a very demonic accent.

"'Don't be afraid of the future, don't be afraid of war, our cause is just! Everyone is ready to make their own choice! We know that you will finally make such a decision, but don't be impulsive! Remember, we are always on your side! Fire at the real evil! Fire at the Human Federation-'"

'Bang! '

With a crisp gunshot, the adjutant's head, who had a friendship for more than ten years, flew out of the window, and the whole head exploded into a handful of blood, and hit the broadcasting and communication facilities straight.

With the sound of electric sparks, a burst of black smoke rose from the communication device. The commander kicked the traitor's body away with an ugly look, looked at the contaminated communication device with disgust, couldn't help suppressing the fire in his heart, and took a long breath.

Yes, this is the norm. No one knows how many people the Negative Star has hidden and where they will launch a fatal attack. Even the believers of the Chaos Gods have a strange appearance and show some inferior attitudes towards life, but the Negative Star has none of them. They all look like loyal ministers and generals, but who knows that they will turn against each other at a critical moment and directly lead to the collapse of everything.

Before the commander asked the mechanic to repair the communication device, he saw several warships outside the window starting to fire at each other. Naval guns and missiles took off, and countless flames appeared around the ocean.

These include but are not limited to the psychic light spears from the Antarctic continent. These terrifying rune weapons can be projected from a distance of thousands of kilometers. They rely on absolute violence and use the means of steaming the ocean to completely ignite and burn the surrounding environment and fleet, turning the living things inside into a pile of mummies.

The worst thing is that because of the sound just now, even many of his own warships began to turn their guns and aim at his flagship hanging the command flag. This made the commander feel extremely annoyed. Especially when he saw the flag bearer who looked righteous raising the flashing symbol representing the Negative Star on the flagpole, the commander knew very well that this encirclement and suppression might also fail.

"You monsters will not have any good end, and neither will I. Your delusion of wanting to ignite this world is ultimately a dream. Everyone, follow me and clean up these Negative Star traitors!"

He took out his gun and shot the Negative Star traitor waving on the mast from a distance of dozens of meters. The commander looked at the crowd behind him and waved his hand to go out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the bodies lying all over the cabin, and a figure with golden light on his body was holding the body of his other adjutant and turned to look at him.

That was his wife, his childhood sweetheart whom he had known for thirty years. There was also a four-year-old daughter at home waiting for her parents to return from this bloody battlefield and tell their heroic stories. But from the current perspective, I am afraid that nothing can be done.

"Everyone, prepare bayonets. We will start the cleanup in the cabin. We can't let these negative star traitors raise their flags again in the territory of the Human Federation. These monsters must die."

“…Actually, I’m a pacifist.”

The visitor with golden light sighed, and judging from the voice, it was actually the voice of a young girl.

“My parents were killed by those Chaos Cultists. Only the Negative Stars can destroy the monsters in these people’s hearts. But you adults are too dirty. You only think about yourself and never think that the world will become a better place.”

The golden girl talked to herself, her hands and actions also moved on her own, just like a high school student talking about her dreams. To be precise, she is indeed a high school student, and she does have hopes and ideals. However, her hopes and ideals were completely shattered in the attacks of Chaos villains a long time ago. Now she is thinking about more distant protection.

Everyone feels that their behavior is correct, and everyone feels that they are protecting their homes and dreams. Whether it is the Negative Stars or the commander in front of them.

But what puzzles the girl is that the answer is right in front of them, but they have to go the opposite way.

"Even this woman is the same, shouting something about fighting for her children. But aren't we fighting for her children too? For a better future, for a better tomorrow, for a world where no one cries, we have worked hard to this day."

"Do you know? On the Antarctic continent, we transformed the ice sheet into grassland. We have no hierarchy, we are as close as brothers and sisters, and there is no crime at all."

"We have done it. We know the gentleness and beauty brought by that link."

"Why do you have to force us to make such a decision?"

After the voice fell, looking at the commander whose eyes were gradually dimming and whose heart had been grabbed by her, the girl sighed, her heart full of melancholy.

But just as she sorted out her fragmented mood, she turned her head and looked at the ocean, and a dark muzzle was aimed at her body.

I don't know when, the commander's fleet has been blocked by various civil war fleets, and the black behemoth that fired 510mm caliber naval guns burst into a flaming breath. Before the girl in the golden light could make any move, the entire command ship was instantly penetrated, and a deafening explosion sounded, sinking rapidly in the ocean.

The vortex that appeared in that instant even dragged the culprit next to it down, and the two steel behemoths roared and sank to the bottom of the sea, becoming a corner of this war.

…

"…Actually, I think humans are fighting pretty well."

In the conference room in the subspace, Leon raised his eyebrows and suddenly said.

"I think you can really give it a try. It's better to say that you will definitely give it a try. I'm not kidding you, and I don't have the experience and habit of telling jokes to you."

"I'm always serious. Even the seal of the vortex has been lifted by me, and the huge vortex has become my thing. I am using the huge crack to start hollowing out the power of the subspace in reverse, intending to knock the whole world to the ground. This is what I want to do. I don't hide my thoughts."

"So let's have a final war, everyone. This is inevitable."

The light and darkness change, and the world flows. The entire subspace presented a discontinuous and bizarre feeling, as if it had skipped the time and space and life of many people.

But this is one of the characteristics of the subspace. Whenever people are thinking and sorting out their emotions, they always present a discontinuous sense of jumping. And Leon did not feel particularly surprised by this. He just sat in a chair, looking at everything around him with interest, waiting for the arrival of opponents.

During this awkward time, silence was the main theme. The light and shadow changed in the chaotic room, and finally a low question came.

"Is there anything that can't be discussed? What do you want? What can we give? Why do you have to use such an extreme way to solve the problem? Do you know how many people will die from this behavior?!"

A woman's voice came from the corner. It might be a saint from a church with tears in her eyes, looking angrily at Leon, who looked indifferent.

"All dead! Everyone is dead! Do you know what this means!"

"I know."

And Leon's response to the angry woman was a slight nod.

"My initial estimate is that at least 230 million to 500 million people may die. After all, I thought it might be over after the eleventh impact. When the twelfth impact comes, all creatures on the opposite side of the old world will die."

"After all, this planetary shield is too strong, and I don't actually have any particularly good way to deal with it. This thing looks inconspicuous, but it actually has extraordinary flexibility and self-repair. If the twelfth impact is not completed, the death toll will reach about 124 billion. Almost half of the world's total population."

"And when the thirteenth impact begins, there will be no need to think too much. There will be no living people in the whole world, including me. I will do everything I can to tear up the planetary shield. If I can't tear it apart, everyone will die together."

"What qualifications do you have to judge the life and death of others! What right do you have to do this!"

It was still the angry saint.

Even the subspace could not suppress the anger of this poor woman. Countless flames were floating around her body in an irregular manner, and even this closed secret space had layers of discontinuous fractures.

These were traces left by time. The former saint had left her own great achievements in this world. But time flies. Although these traces left ripples in the subspace, and even in this fully enclosed secret room, there were grotesque existences, but for Leon, they were still like a breeze, without any deterrent power.

"Because you can't stop me. As a strong man, I can humiliate you weak people. I can sacrifice everything I have, I can not make money, not profit, I can have nothing, as long as I let this world out of the cage. This is my way, my way. You may not agree, but this is my job. I have the obligation to take you out of this planet... Of course, it may not be you."

Leon looked at the leaders around him and raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to ask for their opinions.

But in the next moment, Leon blinked his eyes and felt that the secret room seemed to have undergone a slight change and a bizarre amplitude. Although everyone was there, showing anger and hatred, Leon could feel it.

All people, all leaders' movements and wills were undergoing extremely small, discontinuous changes. This change should have come from the trance and collapse of the projection caused by the change of people's hearts. After all, the subspace is the opposite of the mind. But inside this closed and locked space, Leon could not feel the flow of the subspace outside, and he suddenly realized instinctively that something was wrong.

After carefully observing the angry looks of these leaders and the extremely silent looks of the four incarnations, Leon was stunned.

He felt an unusual wind.

"Like these four gods... Haha, so that's it, I really underestimated you."

Looking at the four gods who had been silent for a long time, and the many silent leaders, Leon blinked his eyes and felt some weird flow.

On the surface, Leon seemed to be talking to these leaders in the conference room, talking about various thoughts about the future and possibilities. But in fact, along with the feeling of sluggishness just now, Li Ang finally realized that things seemed to be more interesting than he imagined.

If this power does not hurt himself and does not need to do too much to himself, then he can indeed accomplish some unimaginable deeds.

For example, adjust people's sensory cognition, produce some strong illusions, and make oneself think that it is a coherent space and time.

"Interesting... How long have you stopped time?"

In a closed space, the leader of tens of thousands of people actually set a trap against me...

Looking at the four silent incarnations, Li Ang raised his eyebrows and felt a trace of real pressure on himself.

I will try to update the world tomorrow.
