After the divine connection was completed, Leah jumped down from the altar, playing with a strand of hair hanging on her chest and muttering to Hao Ren: "By the way... do you think the standard saint portrait I gave them is more solemn?"
Would a little bit be better?"
Hao Ren thought about the "standard saint portrait" that Leah had finally finalized after posing for a long time, and commented from the bottom of his heart: "To be honest, I can't even imagine what you were thinking at that time -
—Are you afraid that the last time you met Raven 12345, your sanity was averaged?"
Leah suddenly looked worried: "How about... I reissue the classic version to them? I had a pretty classic promotional photo back then, holding a silly stick and standing on a shell.
, and there are several circles of holy light behind the head - although I have always thought it was silly, it was widely circulated back then."
As she spoke, she muttered again: "I mainly think this time, after experiencing a rebirth from sleep, there is always a new look, and now that the dream plane is full of waste, everyone may need a more energetic goddess to encourage them.
To improve morale or something..."
Hao Ren slapped his forehead: "Aren't you afraid that a few extreme fanatics will lose their morale after seeing your people-friendly image?"
Leah was greatly shocked: "Then I'd better change it back."
But at this time, Vivian next to her suddenly spoke: "Actually, I think it's okay not to change. You can choose to follow the idol route - what's the saying? In order to save the world, whoever decides to stand
Come out and become an idol..."
"You're not even close to each other, and you've already been an old joke for a long time," Lily interrupted Vivian, "But I don't think there's any need to change, because the image of being close to the people is pretty good. And you're going to change with that pope later.
Photos are actually more likely to destroy the persona..."
Hao Ren waved his hand to stop them from taking the topic any further: "These are all trivial issues. Let's get down to business. Isn't that the last wave of divine power broadcast just now?"
Leah sighed: "There are not many survivors, and there are only a few planets that can broadcast. The indigenous people on the other ecological planets still can't walk upright. Horleta is the last one."
"Well... the Tanagos-Dromu people have just left the Virtual Ark two years ago. They are still a semi-rationed society. They are highly organized and will not cause trouble. Horleta's Glory Sect has a very strong influence. They
They can also ensure order by themselves; although the social reconstruction process on Io is not very high, their total population is only the population of a refuge ark, and it has just grown to the size of several cities. In addition, there are people left by me in the sky of Io.
It looks easy to take pictures of the armed satellite array below; finally, there is the agent side... they don’t have to worry. They are almost a fully militarized race and have network thinking. They are probably the most stable among several plates.
"Hao Ren touched his chin and counted them one by one, "The remaining primitive ecological planets will be directly handed over to the armed satellite group for protection. Based on this calculation, the arrangements have been made."
"Let mortals fight for their own world," Leah breathed a sigh of relief. "Whether they can survive it or not is up to them."
A burst of heavy footsteps came from not far away, and the majestic door of the World Tree Temple opened to both sides. The king of kings, Loken, appeared at the door with his huge body like a rock sculpture: "Mother, the last word came from the dark abyss.
According to a communication, the Lord of Madness has completely broken through the middle blockade, and the Night Watch troops will abandon all outposts and evacuate the prison as planned."
Leah nodded and turned to look at Hao Ren: "Let's go to the watch fortress."
In the dark and deep space, a huge cosmic fortress floats quietly among the stars.
They have an obvious drone nest style - starting from the floating celestial body, the metal walls and connecting frames extending from the celestial body slowly form various functional facilities and nests, while between large nests
A thick fortress connection wall is being built, with drone turrets and reinforced fortress shield generators neatly arranged on the surface of the connection wall. Countless drones and drone motherships, large and small, are constantly shuttling between these facilities.
Rest, busy and silent.
But the scale of the fortress group is larger than any normal drone nest - it has built position facilities that far exceed the standards of the nest. Compared with the drone nests that are biased towards proliferation and development functions, it is obviously more powerful.
Tend to the defensive function, those countless shield generators and fixed turrets give people a strong impression, and people can't help but think that it is a solid nail. After being nailed to the position, it can
Block any stormy waves.
This is the Watch Fortress, a legion facility closest to the Dark Abyss Space Domain. It is extremely close to the prison's "horizon", so much so that standing on the viewing platform of the fortress, you can directly see a black darkness surging in front of your eyes.
, with a sense of oppression and suffocation that almost swallows people up.
This is where the name Watchfortress comes from.
Behind the Watch Fortress, there are countless fortress groups similar to it anchored in the depths of space. Mass-produced annihilation spears and countless drone turrets are all pointing in the same direction, waiting quietly.
The moment when the "prisoners" escape.
The Giant Turtle Rock Platform broke away from the warp space and landed smoothly next to the No. 1 control tower of the Watch Fortress. Through the connecting bridge extending from the control tower, Leah, Hao Ren and his party climbed onto the viewing platform at the top of the control tower.
The "horizon" of the dark abyss that cuts off any flow of information surged before their eyes. Although it was actually millions of kilometers away, it still gave people the feeling of being close at hand.
The metal gate above the viewing platform opened silently, and a ball of liquid metal slowly fell from it, and squirmed to form the interactive interface of the drone cluster consciousness. The ever-changing face looked in the direction of Hao Ren, inorganic
A qualitative voice came from the depths of the liquid metal mass: "Thirty minutes have passed since the last signal sent by the Night Watch troops, and there is still no new signal sent out."
"The Night's Watch troops destroyed all information nodes before evacuating and will shut down all their interactive functions," Leah explained. "They want to control their information exchange with the outside world to the greatest extent to reduce the pressure on the 'event boundary'
.”
"Every exchange of information, even every fluctuation of thoughts, will become the carrier of the Lord of Madness," Loken's voice came from behind and above, booming like thunder, "So during the evacuation process of the Night's Watch troops,
There will definitely be no information coming."
"But even so, the 'border instinct' of the Lord of Madness will still track them and pursue them when they cross the outer defense line," Leah looked at Hao Ren, "So we must be prepared...
…”
"Deal with the leaked derivatives when the night watchmen withdraw...right," Hao Ren nodded slightly, "Don't worry, the drones will always be ready, and all the forts in this fortress are ready to fire.
.”
Vivian asked curiously: "When will they be able to withdraw?"
Leah closed her eyes and said softly after a moment: "There are still fifteen minutes... If you can't come out, you will never come out."
Hao Ren glanced at the consciousness of the drone swarm, which began to automatically activate the response plan without any orders: "The fortress cannon is ready, and the annihilation spear has entered the charging state."
The huge war machines of the "Watch Fortress" began to operate, and the shield generators shifted from the maintenance state to the wartime activation state. Energy barriers like water curtains rose along the boundaries of the fortress group, covering the entire area.
Among them, on the surface of those towering alloy protective walls and connecting towers, the turrets rotated and lifted up from their bases, fine-tuning the muzzles to point in the direction of the dark abyss.
As the energy veins lit up one by one, large and small forts surged with deadly light.
In the center of the fortress group, four special "buildings" slowly rose up under the push of propellers. Their rectangular shells "collapsed" like building blocks, and quickly combined into sparkling energy-gathering objects.
Array, surging energy jumped between the metals and crystals, forming a spear-like structure several kilometers long.
That is the final mass-produced Annihilation Spear - after actual combat testing in the world of Lahirion, these powerful super bangs have been proven to fully meet the design standards. After further optimization of energy pipelines and program adjustments,
They are installed in every fortress around the Dark Abyss. There are four of them here in the Watch Fortress, and on the rear defense line, there are thousands of Annihilation Spears ready to go.
The "event boundary" (or "event horizon") of the dark abyss surges quietly, and the pitch-black "membrane" locks everything on the other side in the black box of information. After the Night's Watch troops destroyed all
After the information node, the peripheral coalition forces can no longer know any changes in the prison. Everything can only be judged by the goddess of creation's grasp and deduction of the various facilities she left behind.
A black starship from the Guardian Legion is patrolling outside the Watch Fortress. This starship is specially used to monitor the Dark Abyss and is continuously transmitting data and reports back to the control tower:
"There are still three minutes until the 'event horizon' opens, and no phenomena have been observed, and no information fluctuations have been observed."
"A trace amount of crazy pollution has penetrated, and the penetration has not reached the warning value."
"There are still two minutes until the 'event horizon' opens, and the infiltration of crazy pollution is intensifying... The signal from the Night Watch has not yet been received."
"This ship will turn on the enhanced antenna. Please be prepared to resist mental pollution."
Hao Ren frowned and looked at the dark curtain in the distance, while Lily muttered beside her as if talking to herself: "Turn off all perception and communication, and pass through the entire outer defense line in the dark abyss... ugh
Gu... It's like a little deaf and blind person challenging the battle royale... It feels so scary just thinking about it..."
"Those people in the starry sky can do it," Leah said lightly. "After holding on in the dark abyss for so many years, they have long been accustomed to this kind of 'silence'."
Vivian sighed softly: "They exchanged silence for tens of millions of years of prosperous life in this universe..."
The communication from the "Sentinel" interrupted her sigh: "There are still fifteen seconds until the 'event horizon' opens... the fluctuation of information is observed! It is the signal of the night watchman! Pay attention, the crazy pollution is seeping out in large quantities! Observed
Derivatives! Visible to the naked eye!”
On the surface of the dark "event", a brilliant ocean of light is gradually rising.
