Even though the space was spacious enough to allow flying side by side, the two Viking fighters were still one behind the other, escorting the Thunder in the center of the formation.
When the pilots looked towards the front of the field of vision, they found that a huge gate was slowly unfolding to both sides, and at the same time, it also poured bright light into this dim channel.
Seeing this, the pilots slowed down and flew the Viking, while the Thunder gradually approached the gate.
The number of this gate is "4".
At this moment, artillery pieces of various calibers inside Eden Port were aiming their muzzles at Gate 4.
On the preparation platform closest to Gate 4, there are also ten APUs waiting in full formation, as well as General Okar and the guard company.
As the elite of the resistance army, the soldiers of the guard company wear light gray training uniforms, relatively sophisticated armor and helmets, and hold standard stun guns or small-caliber live ammunition weapons.
Waited for a while.
Okar and his party saw the flight formation pass through the gate and enter the port.
Hover, descend, and prepare to dock to the platform.
However, before the two Vikings were about to touch the ground, a crowd of Edenians and even Okar looked at them with surprise, and they converted from fighter planes into ground armored units.
"Boom! Boom!"
Two Vikings, several times larger than the APU, landed on the platform and used four rotating Gauss cannons to deter the APU and the guard company.
A fighter plane with a deformable structure...
Okar, who witnessed the entire process of Viking's transformation, more intuitively felt the technology mastered by Umbrella.
The Viking was responsible for intimidation and confrontation, while the Thunder landed completely and stopped. As the pilot opened the nose door, the six gladiators walked out of the cabin first and stood in front of the door in an inverted "V" formation.
This group of legion elites did not raise the parallel bolter installed on the outer armor of their left arm, nor did they activate the locking function of the plasma shoulder cannon. They just remained silent and looked down at the guard company who aimed their guns at them.
Immediately afterwards, Angron, Victor, Mark and others left the cabin one after another.
“…”
Okar and the soldiers in the guard company raised their heads more and more, indicating that Angron was getting closer.
Wait until the angle is fixed…
Angron had already arrived not far in front of Okar, still smiling, as if the previous conflict had never happened at all, and spoke first:
"Commander of Umbrella's Eighth Legion, Angron, you must be Admiral Femini Okar."
"..." Okar was a little stunned, and his expression was a little frozen.
The soldiers in the guard company were astonished, the same state as when Victor, Mark and others saw Angron for the first time.
but…
Leaving aside Victor, Mark and the others were clearly not calm at this moment, and there was even more fear in their eyes as they looked at Angron.
Just now, the frontline base and two electromagnetic warships fell in an instant, leaving the entire resistance force without the ability to resist. This was all done by Angron.
Mark saw with his own eyes that Angron raised his right hand, and his body burst out with a faint light. After that, they arrived at the Port of Eden safely.
This is beyond the scope of what Mark and the others can understand.
Human beings have an instinctive fear of the unknown, especially powerful unknown things, regardless of whether they are friendly or not.
As for Angron's ability to "raise his hand and shine", it was precisely because of the use of psychic pressure. He also sensed the fear of Mark and his group, but he would not give any explanation.
Because Angron learned a crucial piece of information from his father, that is, there is no alien space in this universe, and he and the pure spiritual energy contained in the Astartes will not cause any harm to this universe.
any impact.
At this time, Okar, who had never seen Angron release his spiritual energy, quickly adjusted his mentality and nodded immediately:
"Yes, that's right, I am Okar."
"Very good." Angron said straightforwardly: "I believe that all the senior leaders of Eden should already know about the unpleasant first negotiation just now.
In order to save time for both you and me, and to liberate all mankind as soon as possible, please ask the general to summon all of your Eden senior officials for a second negotiation."
"Of course." Okar had no objection, and waved his hand to the left and said: "Actually, the Eden Council is ready. We are just waiting for Mr. Angron to arrive. Please come with me."
As he said that, Okar looked at Victor, Mark and others standing behind Angron, and said in a slightly deeper tone:
"Major Poliyev went to the parliament with us, and the others were temporarily taken to a detention center to await subsequent interrogation."
"Yes, General." Victor stepped forward
Several soldiers from the guard company also left the team and came to escort Mark and others.
Next.
Angron left two gladiators behind and cooperated with two Vikings to guard the Thunder. Then he and four gladiators followed Okar to the elevator of this platform.
Entering the elevator, which was large enough to accommodate ten APUs and numerous soldiers, there was no need for Angron to bend down.
The gate is closed.
The elevator starts.
Angron, standing in the center, took advantage of his height to observe the outside world through the protective net. Soon, the elevator took them out of the military fortress-like port and descended into a tunnel.
Watching the lights passing by one by one.
In less than half a minute, the tunnel scene suddenly stopped, and was replaced by an extremely spacious underground city with numerous "stone pillars" and countless metal platforms and buildings.
Angron estimated that the width of those "stone pillars" was at least six to seventy meters and the height was about two hundred meters. The overall appearance was not smooth and rounded, like load-bearing pillars in this underground space.
And there are many excavated caves around the "stone pillar" for the people here to live.
At this time, Okar sighed to Angron with a hint of melancholy: "This is Eden, which our military is trying its best to protect, and it is also a sanctuary where millions of humans live."
“…”
Angron just nodded with a slight smile and did not reply.
In fact, this is a kind of closed colony built in the main universe. In order to mine the mineral resources of the asteroid belt for a long time, people hollowed out the interior of the asteroid with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers.
Therefore, colonies often install large-scale simulation equipment on the top to simulate natural scenery such as sunny days, thunderstorms, or night stars, giving people living in the colonies psychological hints and avoiding long-term depression.
Looking back at Eden without analog technology...
Even though there are alternative lighting equipment on the top and the space is spacious enough, it is still impossible to avoid the feeling of being restrained or even imprisoned.
In the main universe, people can travel freely and leave the closed and oppressive asteroid colonies. However, people living in Eden will only end up being hunted by machines once they leave for the ground.
Although it is a shelter, Angron believes that Eden is more like a second "cage" specially prepared by the machine for humans. The first "cage", that is, some unruly human prisoners in the virtual world, is transferred to
It's just the second cage in reality.
Of course, humans who are in the middle of the situation cannot see this clearly, but as an outsider, especially Angron, who is the original body, he can see it through at a glance.
That's why he didn't respond to Okar's emotion.
Arrive at the lowest level.
The gates expand to both sides, and you can walk out of the elevator and transfer to a rail train to reach the "stone pillar" located in the center of Eden.
Fortunately, Eden's rail train does not have carriages, but only "slabs" with fences attached, so Angron and the four gladiators can also ride on it smoothly.
When they left the hall and drove into the underground city, the attention of the residents who were busy with different tasks and wearing old work clothes were attracted by the terrifying height of Angron.
!!
Some residents were shocked, but many more...
"What the great priest said is absolutely true! God really sent his descendants to the mortal world to redeem sinners like us!"
"He is the Son of God...! He is the Son of God!"
"The peace we have been waiting for will finally come! Great!"
They are residents, or rather... believers, who are excited and excited, and are shouting about "priests", "sinners", "salvation" and "sons of God".
See this scene.
Angron's expression remained the same, but his eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.
In fact, he learned from the information he received from Victor that there was a church called "Son of God" in Eden.
Based on many "records" in the Bible, this church makes the people of Eden believe that one day in the future, God will send his descendants to earth again to lead them, sinners, to defeat the machine and return to the surface.
The church has existed for many years. According to Victor's description, it was officially established more than half a century ago, almost in the year 085 of the Eden calendar.
Angron can understand that humans in the last days need a faith and a hope for salvation.
only…
Religion is established by people, but people all have selfish thoughts, so this "Son of God" will inevitably be mixed with various interests and power disputes.
Psychic perception told Angron that Victor, Okar, and some of the soldiers in the guard company beside him were also full of disgust and contempt for believers, or religion.
After all, every time the army successfully defends Eden, or makes progress in the battle against machines, it will be called "God's blessing" by the church.
If the battle is lost, the church will also say words such as "The troops did not pray to God and are sinners!"
Moreover, in the desperate environment of the end of the world, the vast majority of people in Eden placed their hopes on the so-called "God" and "the children of God", causing the church to grow in size and last for a long time.
Now, when believers see the god-like Angron and the gladiators, they naturally regard them as the "sons of God" described by the church.
“…”
Seeing these phenomena, Angron knew that his arrival would definitely jeopardize the "cake" that some "pampered" people and a few "worms" had enjoyed for a long time.
About half an hour later.
The train passes through the underground city, enters the interior of the central stone pillar, and stops at one of the platforms.
Get off the train.
Angron saw a group of soldiers with much better equipment than the guard company, guarding a woman wearing a red robe and a gorgeous headdress who just stepped off another train and faced them across two tracks.
This woman is the priest of "Son of God", Lucis.
Seeing this, Victor sneered with disdain: "Oh, the magic stick is here too."
"Oh? Is she what the major calls a magic stick? Well...just looking at her appearance, she is indeed like that." Angron responded with interest.
“…”
Okar didn't say anything, but his slight nod "betrayed" the general's actual thoughts.
At this time, the three of them seemed to be standing on the same front invisibly.
On the other hand, Lucis, whom they called the Divine Stick, was as shocked as everyone when they first saw the original body, but in order to maintain the noble and calm image of the priest, he tried hard to restrain himself from uttering exclamations.
Afterwards, Lucis and his party walked into a nearby passage and disappeared.
Okar also led everyone away from the platform, entered the passage that was relatively short for Angron, took another elevator, and went straight to the top of the stone pillar.

…
Shortly after.
The core area of Eden, the Council Hall.
Its main body is fan-shaped, with layers of stepped seats, enough to accommodate more than 500 people to discuss important matters related to Eden.
At this time, the hall was filled with parliamentarians representing different classes, positions or residential areas, as well as several senior military generals headed by Okar, and of course Lucis, who represented the "Son of God".
Angron was sitting on the front seat on the right side. The staff quickly prepared and built an exclusive seat of suitable size.
The absence of four gladiators indicates that these giants obeyed the orders of the original body and were temporarily waiting outside.
But Victor stood at the front of the hall, telling everyone present about the situation when the Abraham was performing a reconnaissance mission and discovered the army of machines preparing to attack Eden, as well as the battleship crashed and was rescued by Umbrella.
After listening to the story, everyone's expressions varied, ranging from joy and doubt to solemnity and worry.
"Major Poliyev...are you saying that the machine army has been completely defeated by Umbrella?" a congressman asked.
"Yes." Victor turned his head and glanced at Angron, who was sitting not far away, and continued:
"According to what Commander Umbrella said, that's correct. It's just the specific course of action. I have no right to know the authenticity of the results."
"Thank you, Major Poliyev, for your report." Okar promptly brought the topic to Umbrella and asked Angron:
"Mr. Angron, please help us solve this mystery. Where did you Umbrella come from, what is your purpose, and how can you confirm what the major said that you have defeated the machine army?"
Hear the words.
Angron stood up and left his seat in response to the different eyes, and took Victor's place at the front of the hall.
At this time, everyone had already passed the "height shock" period and was no longer too surprised by Angron.
Come to the front of the hall.
Angron took out a chip the size of a playing card from the pocket of his uniform, placed it in his left hand with his palm flat, and then projected a large holographic screen for everyone present, showing the "Sea of Machine Corpses" directly above Eden.
He showed his usual kind smile and said: "This is the surface scene. If you don't believe me, you can send people to investigate. As for where we come from..."
Said.
Angron switched the content of the holographic screen and continued: "It's difficult to explain to you clearly, but our purpose here is to completely liberate mankind.
Negotiating with you is also based on my father's intention to prepare everyone present and even the entire Eden to rebuild human civilization."
