Chapter 231, upgrade! Level 6 psychic power, the storm is coming!
[Event activated: The storm is coming]
[The cult sect that believed in the original angry owl broke out in its final madness at the moment when it was about to be destroyed. 】
[They are about to desperately summon the Owl God who has become a member of the Abyss Evil God. 】
[The most heroic warriors under your command are trying their best to prevent this from happening, and what you do next will also have a decisive impact. 】
……
Looking at the message that popped up on the [Event] interface, Gu Hang took a deep breath and decided to go to the north in person.
Of course he knows the situation in Polar Industrial City, and the command headquarters is always reporting information to him.
He knew that the city could now be said to have planted the flag of the Alliance; he also knew that a group of his most elite soldiers had descended into the underground space of the so-called C7 area and started fighting with the cultists.
He knew that this time, under Garrett's suggestion, although the cost to pay was relatively high, the Alliance instantly mobilized a huge amount of power and devoted all the cutting-edge power at hand to the same thing.
But for now, it seems that this decision is the right one. The Alliance struck with all its might and demonstrated its formidable strength. It carried out a quick raid in a way that was unimaginable by the local forces of the Raging Owl Star. It had indeed completely subdued the Polar Industrial Group, and the entire Northern Territory would be at their fingertips.
Although it will take a long time to pacify other regions and rebuild the alliance's own governance system. On the whole, however, it was certainly shorter than the time it took to recover the eastern provinces.
What's more, this operation also has a great value, that is, it can wipe out the Pingyuan Chunuo Xiao Sect in one fell swoop, which is a thorn in Gu Hang's heart.
Gu Hang knew that things might not always go smoothly, and he was prepared for accidents, and even had corresponding remedial measures in place.
And he himself is a part of this ‘remedial measure’.
He has indeed been busy with government affairs for a long time. But this does not affect the fact that he is the most powerful psyker in the entire alliance.
As a fifth-level psyker, he can already use pure psychic means to fatally control opponents of the level of the Orc Fleet Overseer.
Not to mention, he has already accumulated enough experience to be promoted to the sixth level psyker.
However, he had not upgraded before that.
To upgrade from LV5 to LV6, you need too many gift points
LV5 only requires 500 points of gift, but upgrading to LV6 requires 2000 points.
This was an expensive price. Even after receiving the gift of 10,000 or 20,000 points, he was not in a hurry to upgrade.
You can upgrade at any time, as long as you have gift points; on the contrary, for the development of the territory, every minute and every second is precious golden time.
Thinking that there would be no subsequent battles that required him to personally take action, he did not make this choice.
By saving two thousand gift points, he can draw technology, expand the army, conduct multiple political commissar trainings to fill his government departments, expand the team of demon hunters, and serve as the main force in anti-corruption operations...< br>
His own personal strength is not that urgent.
But now, it seems it's time.
On the wind falcon flying to the north, Gu Hang used the remaining gift points from the past two months to raise his personal level to LV6.
First of all, the physical and spiritual attributes each increased a little.
Secondly, among the options, Gu Hang once again chose the spiritual direction as the specialization for this upgrade.
And this provides him with a brand new ability: Iron Will.
[Iron Will: You will have an iron will. From now on, you will not feel tired, shaken, or afraid before approaching the limit; your emotions will become more stable and stronger; the effects of attacks on the spirit and soul will be treated as The spiritual attribute gap between the other party and you is reduced to a certain extent. When the caster's spirituality is more than 4 points lower than yours, all such effects will be invalid; when the caster's spirituality is more than 4 points greater than yours, the reduction effect is fixed at 35%. You gain 1 additional point of spirituality. 】
Gu Hang is generally quite satisfied with this newly acquired feature.
There is nothing wrong with defensive psychic powers.
He has a protective aura that can be used to resist physical and energy attacks. And this is just for dealing with mental damage. The two are complementary.
Not to mention, the extra great resistance to normal negative states such as fatigue, wavering, and fear can also bring him a lot of help in non-combat situations.
As for the extra bit of spirituality, that was to be expected.
At this point, his personal attribute panel looks like this:
[Hero: Gu Hang (camp leader), LV6, unable to upgrade due to lack of experience]
[Physique: 11, Spirit: 22]
[Characteristics: Psychic Spellcaster, Governor of the Raging Owl Star, Enemy of the Storm]
[Talents: Body-protecting aura, advanced mind control, mind manipulation, iron will]
A full 22 points of psychic attributes were increased by two points compared to before he upgraded, which is equivalent to 2.25 times at level five.
There is no doubt that his strength has once again been greatly enhanced.
After testing it out of thin air, he felt that if he were to encounter the Ork Fleet Overseer he had encountered in Star Wars before, he might be able to use his psychic powers to defeat his will without the cooperation of others. Or use psychic energy to tear its flesh from the inside of the heavy armor.
……
With this new power, Gu Hang arrived at the Polar Industrial City a few hours later.
The speed of the Wind Falcon was once again demonstrated. The distance of 5,400 kilometers was reached in just two hours.
This is actually more than double the regular cruising speed of the Wind Falcon, flying at a speed of Mach 2.5 throughout the entire journey.
In fact, it is rare. Normally, a wind falcon would not fly so desperately at more than twice the speed of sound for so long. After all, it is not a one-man fighter, but an air combat craft weighing several hundred tons. The anti-gravity engine running at full speed consumes terrible energy after running for such a long time.
However, the Alliance is still very wealthy on the small amount of energy it uses. The waste energy storm collection plant and energy compression plant built in the High Tower Province can easily produce super energy crystal blocks. This kind of advanced energy is more than enough for use on the Wind Falcon, enough to sustain the consumption of long-distance full-power flight.
It’s just that the mechanical structure of the Wind Falcon itself may be a little weak. After flying like this a few times, I'm afraid I'll have to go back for overhaul.
But soldiers are expensive and fast, so they can't care about that much. Just go back and repair.
The elite special forces on duty outside the C7 area, which had been captured and sealed off, were very surprised when they saw the governor arriving.
They didn't know that the Governor was coming.
In fact, when Gu Hang set out, of course he sent a message to the frontline command post.
When Thaddeus knew he was coming, he strongly opposed it. With such an important status as the Governor, he should not be on the front line in person. If anything goes wrong, it will be unacceptable to the alliance.
However, it was obviously impossible for him to persuade Gu Hang.
The next best thing he could do was pass the news to the leader of the more front-line Martins Chapter.
However, the message failed to get through.
Martins has lost contact.
Then, Thaddeus tried to pass the news to the 31st Airborne Division, asking them to go to Area C7 as soon as possible to inform them of the Governor's arrival.
However, it takes time for news to circulate. The 31st Airborne Division had just received the news, and Gu Hang had already arrived before the messenger they sent arrived.
The special operations elites guarding outside were surprised, but their first reaction was to salute.
Most of the members of the special operations team were selected during the selection of the Phoenix Space Marines.
Every one of them had met the Governor at the training place. They were even convinced that the miraculous changes that had happened to them had a lot to do with the Governor. In fact, a considerable proportion of them had attended classes at Xifeng Zhongsi Academy, and they were extremely loyal to the Governor. After Gu Hang returned the courtesy, he summoned the person in charge of the scene, a major officer from the 10th Special Forces Brigade, to inquire about the current situation.
Gu Hang learned that Martins had been leading the team down for about two and a half hours. In addition to the twelve space warriors, there were also thirty-one battle nuns, twenty demon hunters, and twenty special warfare elites accompanying them, a total of more than eighty people.
That's pretty much the limit. The entrance is just a 6×6 hole, and after preliminary exploration, it was found that the terrain below is narrow and there are various underground passages connecting many rooms. No matter how many people go down, it is difficult to deploy troops. On the contrary, an elite small-scale team is more suitable.
It stands to reason that with such a scale, it is enough.
However, no news came back from them for a long time.
The major felt something was wrong, so two hours ago, he sent another team down to investigate the situation.
Before this team set off, the order they received was that no matter what, as long as they saw Chapter Leader Martins, they should come up and report the situation as soon as possible.
However, they never came back.
This made Mr. Major very anxious.
Then, the major would send another team down every once in a while.
He had already sent more than a hundred people inside, but no one came out.
"...Mr. Governor, this is the current situation."
The major's forehead was beaded with sweat.
He could tell that the governor seemed to be going down in person again. He knew that his identity was not enough, but he still gritted his teeth and persuaded: "Mr. Governor, I will lead a team to go down and have a look again. As long as I don't die inside, I will make sure to bring the news back! You don't want to I went on an adventure myself, the alliance cannot live without you..."
Gu Hang raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
He closed his eyes tightly, feeling the surging spiritual power below.
Something terrible is growing there.
This is not a complete pregnancy, but more like the madness before death.
If left alone, the damage would actually be relatively limited—for the entire planet, that is.
That should form an evil god incarnation that can exist for about a week; it can set off a mighty storm that sweeps across the entire northern territory.
The Polar Industrial City will definitely be destroyed because of this, and most people will not survive; except for the Polar Industrial City, 60% to 70% of the entire northern population of more than two million people may die directly or indirectly from this.
In total, this is a population loss of approximately two million.
Switching to the ruthless mode of a ruler, Gu Hang could calculate that this was not a completely unacceptable number.
It is true that this will almost destroy the value of the North, but after a week, the disaster will be over and will not continue to spread.
However, this is the final, worst, worst outcome.
Gu Hang believes that the situation is far from that point.
Even if he did get to that point, he would have to fish out the people below and withdraw his troops.
He is sure of this.
Because, he could feel that below, in the turbulent spiritual sea, nearly two hundred fires of life were still burning.
That was evidence that his soldiers were still fighting.
Gu Hang opened his eyes and said to the major: "I'm going down."
After saying this, he floated forward.
Of course the major couldn't stop him.
And Gu Hang didn’t leave any explanation.
No need.
He will not be unable to get out, and he has strong confidence in this.
……
After entering from the underground entrance, Gu Hang floated in the corridor.
He saw many corpses, but they were all of cultists.
Apparently, when the Space Marines led the invasion, these cultists put up a tenacious but futile resistance.
The warriors of the alliance advance all the way and are invincible.
While Gu Hang was walking along this road, he felt as if he was at the seaside, constantly walking towards the depths of the sea. With every step he advanced, he felt the power of psychic energy becoming more intense.
The manic power coming from the abyss was like a real storm, furiously washing away Gu Hang's spirit.
But under the protection of the [Iron Will] he had just acquired, these powers did not have any substantial impact on him.
At the same time, he soon saw the first members of the alliance.
They were several special operations elites. They were lying around the corridor, breathing rapidly and delirious.
After a brief inspection, Gu Hang judged that their consciousness seemed to have entered a strange area.
They seemed to be fighting, it was very fierce, their heartbeats were fast, and their muscles were still twitching involuntarily, but they did not wake up.
If he uses the ability of [Mind Control], Gu Hang can wake him up from this strange state.
But after thinking about it, he didn't do it.
He continued to float forward and saw more Alliance warriors.
Until he arrived at the most empty underground space.
In the center of this space, there were densely packed corpses, forming a circle around an old man whose clothes were very similar to those of Cui Kao, the high priest of the cult he had seen in Fuxing City.
The old man died too.
Underneath these corpses is a blue-white, rapidly flashing chaotic eight-pointed star array.
At the same time, Gu Hang also saw the figures of Martins, Gritte, demon hunters, and dozens of special operations elites.
They stood with their eyes closed tightly and their bodies trembling slightly; their heartbeats were fast and their breathing was rapid, just like the soldiers found earlier.
At this point, Gu Hang can still carry out large-scale mental interference and wake them all up.
But he still didn't do it.
He probably already knew what happened.
He should have fallen into the same state as them when he entered the area where the psychic sea was the most violent. But his powerful spirituality and the blessing of [Iron Will] allowed him to avoid that situation.
However, he had to take the initiative to enter it.
