Chapter 322 The age of the gods is over Sarah beat him!
"How are Kaplan, Magenmo and Helkis doing?" Sui Bian asked again.
"The infrastructure is still complete, so the reconstruction work has not encountered any obstacles for the time being. The only point is the population replenishment. According to calculations, it will take at least twelve to fourteen years to return to the pre-war status." Queen Bai replied.
Kaplan, Magenmo and Helkis are located on the edge of the Oslo sector. They are also completely occupied planets, with less than 300 million residents successfully escaping.
Sui Bian was personally responsible for the purification of Kaplan, so he was more concerned about the follow-up work on these three planets.
"I understand." Sui Bian nodded lightly, then stood up and left the fixed office chair, walking toward the cabin door. At the same time, he also took off the formal jacket hanging next to the door.
He left the cabin, put on his coat and headed to the hangar, and said to the two secretaries following him: "Tell the people below to get ready and pay attention to maintaining order on site, and how are Russ and Magnus.
"
"The two primarchs have arrived at the square first." Queen Bai responded.
"Really? Then we should hurry up."
"Is good)."
Shortly after.
A flight formation left the hangar of the Hymn of Courage and flew into the atmosphere of Fenris.
…
The sunny side of Fenris, the urban area at noon.
Between the buildings and the streets, workers under construction can be seen everywhere, using engineering exoskeletons, or engineering vehicles, SCVs and other large equipment to carry out repair work.
In addition to manned equipment, there are also a large number of "sentinel"-like squid-shaped machines that shuttle around various construction sites to help workers speed up the reconstruction of the urban area to its pre-war appearance.
However, there are already many pedestrians on the streets, and ground vehicles, sky trains and airships located in the waterway all indicate that the metropolitan area, and even Fenris as a whole, has gradually returned to its previous state.
Countless residents gathered in Metropolis District 01. Sheriffs and UNSC soldiers were responsible for maintaining order, and the central square was "surrounded" by the crowd.
The maintenance of order and security in the square is entrusted to the Space Wolves' Astartes and auxiliary forces.
At the same time, two legions of the Honor Guard, the Wolf Guard (the Alpha Wolf) and Sekhmet also appeared in the square guarding their original body.
However, Russ and Magnus were not wearing power armor. At this moment, the two original bodies were wearing customized black military uniforms, and accompanied by their guards, they came to stand in the center of the square.
Looking at the growing crowd.
Magnus, who still had short brown-red hair, couldn't help but sigh to his brother: "Ruth, do you still remember the Deimos incident? It was the two of us who dealt with the demon incident."
"Remember, what's wrong with being a nerd? What's there to lament about this?" Ruth was puzzled.
"It's okay, I just thought that at that time, we were not able to go public as the original body, and the human casualties were not as heavy as they are now. I didn't expect that a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, alas." Magnus
Slightly melancholy.
"What's there to worry about?" Russ raised his hand and patted Magnus on the shoulder, saying: "You can't go back in time, unless you can develop magic that can go back to the past, hahahaha!"
"Actually, time is a concept proposed by us humans. If it is placed in the universe..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Russ quickly interrupted Magnus's academic remarks. He had a headache when he heard words about "universe" and "origin".
"Yes, that's right. Father will be here soon." Magnus looked up into the sky.
The flight formation was seen approaching the square at a constant speed. Then, a large transport boat broke away from the formation, dropped in altitude, and landed directly in front of Russ and Magnus.
Unfold the hatch.
After Sui Bian, the red and white queens and a group of guards walked out of the cabin, the transport boat took off again and disappeared from sight.
"Father." The two primarchs stepped forward.
"Yeah." Sui Bian nodded lightly.
Immediately afterwards, the guards came between the Alpha Wolf and Sekhmet. The red and white queens used the holographic devices in the square to generate several large screens, presenting Sui Bian and the two originals to the crowd, and also broadcast the live footage to
online.
Sui Bian on the screen looked serious and gave a speech: "Residents living in Fenris, and all compatriots behind the screen, I am the Speaker of the UEG Parliament, Sui Bian.
Seventy-two billion people..." At this point, Sui Bian paused for a moment before continuing:
"Today, we have calculated the final number of casualties, which is 7.232241414 people. The vast majority of them are ordinary people who are honest and want to enjoy a better life.
Among the 7.2 billion compatriots who have left this world forever, 360 million are peace officers who maintain the stability of one side, retired soldiers who have returned to their families and society, and soldiers and Asta of the UNSC and Legion.
Especially, of course, there are the taciturn Kriegs who are mistaken for biochemical weirdos by everyone.
These people, these soldiers fought until the last moment, willing to sacrifice their lives to allow unarmed civilians to be safely evacuated.
Even though Kaplan, Magenmo and Helkis were defeated, not a single soldier ran away from their posts and left their responsibilities to move alone! Not one! They have fallen asleep forever, but I believe their heroic souls will protect us.
, to protect our future.
Once, my sons asked me what kind of race human beings are.
What is it like?
To be honest, I still can't explain it to them until now, but I know that we humans have a unique characteristic, which is also the greatest characteristic, that is, when humans face fear...
The pride and disdain when facing those scum and bastards who claim to be gods!
Therefore, we cannot forget the sacrifices, fallen soldiers and compatriots!
Next, we will announce the list of all victims, the latest policies, and...
On Harvest Star, Fenris, and the identity of the psyker who helped Arcadia resolve the crisis sixty years ago, I think this is something that all compatriots are curious about...

…
Three days later.
at dusk.
Earth, Balkan (Greece) peninsula, city of Athens.
The overall appearance of this ancient city is exactly the same as before humans entered the interstellar era. There are almost no changes, and there are no giant buildings more than a hundred meters high and a hundred meters wide.
Moreover, Athens also retains many relics built by the ancients, including the Parthenon dedicated to Pallas Athena, and the Temple of Zeus, which was damaged by war and was severely weathered.
It's just that these scenic spots don't have many tourists at all. If it were in the past, they would have been full.
It may have something to do with the fact that the war just ended, but the real key point is that people learned that it was a group of ancient Greek gods who started the war.
After all, the decisive battle in Fenris made the world aware of Zeus, Poseidon and other fallen gods.
This is a fact that cannot be concealed.
Moreover, Sui Bian had no intention of concealing anything, and even disclosed many details, classifying demons such as fallen gods, demigods, servants of gods, trolls, and snake demons as "abnormal creatures", and also explained the relationship between spiritual energy and them, making
Humanity has a better understanding.
Without the "vaccine" and Sui Bian's spiritual protection, once ordinary people learn about different dimensions, sooner or later they will hear whispers in their ears, and eventually they will inevitably fall to the plane of chaos.
But now, the human territory has almost "shielded" the alien space, so Sui Bian took advantage of this war to let society know more details.
After all, what Sui Bian needs is a positive, independent and perfect human society, instead of being imprisoned by him and Umbrella in a "gorgeous metal birdcage".
Although it was necessary to conceal, erase and deceive a hundred years ago, today, a hundred years later, human beings have gradually "mature" and are no longer curious about the dark side such as alien forces and abnormal phenomena.
At the same time, Sui Bian also released some of his information.
Southeast of Athens.
Near the ruins of the Temple of Zeus…
"I still haven't been able to convince myself that Speaker Sui is the "father" of the Primarchs."
"Yes...but when I think that the Speaker is the strongest psyker among us humans, I feel relieved."
"Well, indeed."
A group of pedestrians who had just gotten off work were talking about "President Sui" while walking.
Along the street, on the holographic screens of various shops, there are hosts broadcasting news about the Oslo sector, and replaying the speech Sui Bian delivered in Fenris Central Square three days ago.
Since that day, Umbrella and UEG announced the fact that Sui Bian was the father of the original body, and admitted that those who released psychic powers on Arcadia, Fenris and other planets, as well as the "Guardians" discussed on the Internet, were actually
They are all the current Speaker, Sui Bian.
At this moment, everyone passed by the entrance to the temple ruins.
"If the government hadn't stopped them, I would have burned down these temples!" Seeing the word "Zeus" marked at the entrance, a passerby immediately cursed.
"Forget it, the only thing we can do is donate some money to Oslo. Let's go and have a drink."
"I also asked for leave today with my wife, so we can go together."
"Oh, okay."
Following the voice of dissuasion, the man finally sighed and went to a nearby bar with his co-workers to release his anger and depressed mood with alcohol.
After all, they don't know about Tzeentch, Slaanesh and other evil gods from other spaces. They only know Zeus, the apparent culprit.
The official preservation of the relics related to the Olympian gods has not erased the records of myths and legends. The reason is to remember history and mistakes, rather than just deliberately concealing them.
Moreover, this is also a masterpiece of art and imagination of the ancients.
In the dilapidated temple at this moment, there were only a few security guards and cleaning staff waiting to get off work.
However, there was one, and at the same time the only "tourist", standing in front of the statue of Zeus that had long been turned into rubble and pieces.
The "tourist" wore slim-fitting denim trousers and a white hoodie, and she also put a hood over her head, covering her hairstyle and most of her face.
From the front, this "tourist" is Artemis who came to the temple as an ordinary human being.
Her expression was dull, but her eyes revealed loneliness and nostalgia.
In fact, since she woke up and learned more information about the different space from Sui Bian, she had already guessed that Zeus would fall, so Artemis had already known that her father would be killed by Sui Bian.
sad?
Yes, that's for sure, but more importantly, she finally let go of her suspenseful heart. Fortunately, her father was finally relieved.
If Zeus had not died, more innocent creatures would have been slaughtered and tortured.
As for her coming to Athens, her main purpose was to complete Sui Bian's commission and hand the trident to Hephaestus for "reconstruction."
After the decisive battle in Fenris, the weapons of the gods that lost their users naturally became Sui Bian's trophies.
As a reward, Sui Bian let Russ, who faced Zeus and Poseidon alone, be the first to choose the weapon of his choice.
Russ chose the only pole weapon, the trident, but the original body also added:
"Father, I want a long weapon, but the shape of the trident always feels a bit strange. If possible... let the God of Craftsman help forge it again."
Although his son's request seemed a bit "excessive", Sui Bian did not intend to teach Russ a lesson. Instead, he entrusted Artemis to be responsible for "transportation", which was also a disguised form of giving her a short vacation to adjust her mood.
Among the remaining weapons, Sui Bian also awarded them to other Primarchs and Astartes with outstanding achievements based on their merits. For example, Magnus chose the "Sun Bow" for psychic research.
However, the Thunder of Zeus is temporarily placed in the "Collection Room" of the Hymn of Courage.
So Artemis handed the trident to Hephaestus, who still lived on the island of Thera. Then, she disguised herself and blended into the crowd, visited Mount Olympus, and went to the former Full Moon Lake and residence.
Finally came to my father's temple.
"Ma'am, we are closing here."
?
Hearing the reminder from the security guard behind her, Artemis calmed down, smiled at the other person and said "Thanks for reminding", then left the temple and walked to the square outside.
Looking at the setting sun in the distance, she couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Father, the age of the gods is over."
Said.
Artemis has also left the square, walked out of the ruins area, and blended into the crowd on the street.
———————
…
"Rou~!" The wind of fists resounded.
"Boom!!" His fist hit the "ground".
"Boom!!" The force even caused the entire "area" to tremble.
"Jason! Take it easy, don't really hurt our little sister!"
"Hahaha!! That's right, otherwise our battalion commander will cut you into pieces!"
"Sarah! Beat him! Beat him! Let Jason have a long memory!"
At the same time, there were several "people" with extremely loud voices watching and joking around.
I saw that this "area" was a large cabin, and it was a fitness cabin that provided weight training for combatants.
However, fitness equipment and barbell plates are far beyond the specifications used by ordinary people, because the lightest and smallest barbell plates are marked with "50kg".
At this moment, the fighting area of the cabin was crowded with many "giant" Astartes wearing oversized training uniforms with an average height of two and a half meters.
The reason why this group of Astartes were watching and making noise was because a red-haired girl with a seemingly "weak" body shape, only over 1.7 meters tall, was challenging an Astartes.
This "feat" naturally attracted applause from the onlookers.
