Chapter 233, the shock of seeing a mortal
When Gu Hang came to this space that did not belong to the real universe but was extremely violent, a large amount of knowledge poured into his head like a flood.
At first, he thought it was some kind of attack, so he tried to use his spiritual power and [Iron Will] to block these countless fragments of knowledge from his consciousness.
But soon, little pieces of knowledge leaked in, making him realize that he shouldn't do this.
Of course, he did not directly remove the protection, but used the ability of [Iron Will] as a filter to filter out the knowledge.
If it is useful, absorb it and then sew it together to piece together a piece of reasonable and valuable knowledge;
What is useless and cannot be understood is kept out.
To be honest, there are far more of the latter than the former.
In fact, this is not a chance encounter, but a 'revelation', or a curse, that a psychic of a certain level will receive when they have close contact with the abyss of hell.
Crazy knowledge invades the brain and can kill people if they are not careful.
Excessive information will burst the psyker's brain; a lot of knowledge is 'poisonous' and will pollute the soul of the recipient and drive him crazy.
Psykers who are not powerful enough will die for various reasons; even psykers who are powerful enough must do their best to keep the evil knowledge that is constantly being instilled from their souls.
But with Gu Hang's current strength, especially with the bonus of [Iron Will], he has gone beyond passive blocking. He even has the ability to further actively screen out the understandable and useful parts of the knowledge. be absorbed.
And from the many pieces of knowledge and information he pieced together, he learned that the place he was in was a corner of the [Hell Abyss].
[Hell Abyss], this is the habitat of demons, but it is also part of the [Reality].
The so-called "real world" is different from the "real world" or "material world" and is the bottom layer of the universe.
All supernatural powers - also known as psionics - originate from there.
Humanity's most cutting-edge technologies are essentially extracting and utilizing psychic power in various ways.
The real world is divided into two levels: the abyss of hell and the spiritual world.
In the past, there was no such distinction. The entire 'real world' was terrifying, breeding terrifying monsters.
Until at least 10,000 years ago, the human emperor who established the empire ascended to godhood, cut off a part of the real world, and established a spiritual network so that this part of the spiritual energy could be used pure, stable, and safely. .
Before the establishment of the spiritual network, using psychic energy was a very scary and dangerous thing. If you are not careful, your mind will be occupied by indescribable beings, your personality will be changed, you will self-destruct due to excessive use of spiritual energy, and you will be given coordinates that will allow the devil to tear apart space rifts and come to reality...
Even interstellar navigation is extremely dangerous. The astral tunnel is a tunnel made of psychic energy. It is also in a chaotic space. When traveling through it, it must be covered with a protective force field and must be guided by a powerful star torch.
Even so, many horrific events will still occur during the journey through the astral tunnel. After completing a Star Boundary shuttle, it is common for there to be a few people missing or a few people on the ship, and the entire ship often even gets lost in the Star Boundary...
But with the star spirit world supported by the spiritual network, the safety of spiritual energy has been greatly improved. Astral navigation has become safe, psykers have become safe, and technology that utilizes psionic energy has become safe, which has greatly expanded the upper limit of human beings.
However, all this security is based on the spiritual network.
There are still sizable parts of the real world that are not safe.
This part is the so-called [Hell Abyss]. This place is filled with uncontrollable spiritual energy, waste energy emitted after utilization, as well as chaotic demons, and even the most terrifying evil god born in the chaotic universe.
The evil gods each occupy a part of the hell abyss, and the four most terrifying ones among them.
The abyss of hell was frantically trying to force these four names into his mind, but his spirituality was frantically warning him. He knew that these four names could not be known to mortals.
These four names belong to the kind of terrifying knowledge that as long as you know it, you will be targeted.
Gu Hang did not seek death and resolutely blocked this knowledge out.
But the information about the other evil god was not a big problem, it was within the range that he could bear.
【Storm Evil God·Original Angry Owl】
In the earliest days, it was the leader of the last wild angry owl group on the angry owl planet, and the strongest angry owl on the entire planet.
Of course, no matter how powerful it is, the angry owl is just a primitive animal on this planet. With the arrival of human colonists and the development of star civilization, no matter how powerful the animal group was, they were either kept in zoos for people to appreciate, or they were classified into nature reserves.
The so-called nature reserve, in the name of protecting the original ecology, is actually a larger zoo.
It is no exception. It and its tribe live in the protected area.
However, one thing happened to it.
Humans on this planet have a kind of worship for primitive creatures like the 'Angry Owl'.
At first, it might just be people's love for the 'Angry Owl', a native specialty of this planet. After all, they look cool and cute, and they are local specialties. It is normal for people to like them; later, something like religious worship really emerged from this kind of love.
But if that's all it is, it won't make any difference.
But in the world of Raging Owl Star, the barrier between it and the real world is particularly weak, and it can even create precious resources such as rare spiritual gas fields.
People's love and admiration for the angry owl has become powerful because of this, and has been implemented in it, the strongest angry owl alive on the planet, making it stronger and stronger. More energetic.
Then people like its powerful and beautiful appearance even more.
But if it were limited to this, it would be nothing. It would just give birth to a somewhat magical beast.
Moreover, this incident is not unique to it. Every angry owl who has ever been the strongest on the Raging Owl Star has had a similar situation.
Even if its body is infinitely powerful and it has some intelligence, that's all. What else can it do? You don’t just have to stay in a nature reserve.
However, the opening of the Demonic Rift and a catastrophe sweeping the world changed everything.
It fell into the abyss of hell and was accepted by it. The worship it once received spawned a sect on the Raging Owl Star, and it also occupies a small space in the abyss of hell. It is the master of this space.
This means that it has truly become a god.
This is the abyss of hell, yes, but of course it is not the entire abyss of hell. It's just that as an inferior evil god among inferiors, its own unique space is not even as good as a speck of dust compared to the entire abyss of hell. But this is its [Kingdom of God].
In the previous cult rituals, it was extremely close to the real world, and all it took was to step into this chaotic formation in person. Its power, through the formation, has been able to affect the real world, so much so that it directly pulls everyone who is close to this chaotic formation as a passage into its divine kingdom - Martins and others are Came in like this.
The good news, though, is that it's not strong enough.
When Gu Hang got close to the chaos formation, he was not affected.
The reason why he came in was because he came on his own initiative.
The soldiers here, with only a hundred people, can hold off the attacks of many storm demons;
After Gu Hang arrived in person, he was able to use his psychic energy smoothly. His psychic abilities were even strengthened a lot because he was in the real world, deep in the abyss of hell. He can dispel the "Evil God's Kingdom" with a radius of three hundred meters in a single thought. He can manifest his consciousness and replenish ammunition for his soldiers in this unreal space out of thin air...
And all these changes could not even be stopped by the evil god, the Original Angry Owl, on his home court.
Its majestic body in the distance is moving step by step towards the real world, but it is still being pulled so hard that it moves very slowly...
Of course, just because it is an inferior evil god, you cannot look down upon it too much.
Although its strength is much worse than that of the Great Unclean One that invaded the Raging Owl Star a few months ago.
But he is an evil god after all. If it really enters the real world and violently displays its power, it can still bring devastating results.
Even if it is only a short trip to the real world, after harvesting the souls of one or two million Northlanders, even if they are subsequently expelled back, the evil god who has become stronger and more powerful will undoubtedly cause a second catastrophe. .
The connection between it and the Raging Owl Star is too deep, and the power of the Hell Abyss will continue to penetrate into the real world along with this connection, secretly brainwashing one person after another. I'm afraid it won't be long before a new evil sect worshiping the Angry Owl will be born.
……
After understanding a lot of relevant knowledge, Gu Hang had an idea of how to deal with it.
Originally, his worst consideration was to save people, withdraw troops, evacuate as many people as possible, and let the storm rage in the north for two or three months. After the evil god lost its power and was expelled back to the Kingdom of God, he would then consider the follow-up issues.
But this will result in the loss of a large number of people in the North and the production capacity of the Polar Industrial Group. And there are serious sequelae. The original Raging Owl sect will definitely resurrect, and in a very strange way, a large number of people on the Raging Owl star will be randomly selected and contaminated into cultists.
If the real thing cannot be done, then these situations will happen, no big deal, as the future development gets better and better, we will find ways to solve it.
However, now it seems that he has a way to handle it, and there is no need to go to that step.
If this second-level evil god is at this level...
Then Gu Hang wouldn't mind letting him experience the shock of a mortal.
……
Lieutenant Colonel Derek received an order: assemble his troops. Except for those who are necessary to guard key parts of the Polar Industrial City, the rest should all go to Area C7 and prepare for battle.
He didn't understand this order at first, so he called back to ask Commander Thaddeus.
Thaddeus didn't say much, he just asked him to do a good job in mobilizing the troops before the war. He had to mobilize all the military and political commissars and tell the soldiers that they were going to fight in a wonderful place. They would be led by the governor. , fighting side by side with the Space Marines.
Derek perked up.
Among the nearly 10,000 people in the 31st Airborne Division, he mobilized two regiments and two artillery battalions, more than 5,000 people, which was more than half of the combat troops, and arrived at the designated position.
Here, he met the major of the 10th Brigade who was responsible for the defense of the C7 area.
The other party asked him to organize his troops into combat formation and prepare for battle. After fifteen minutes, the battle will begin.
Derek was a little confused.
He didn't quite understand what it meant that the battle was about to start in fifteen minutes.
He didn't quite understand why there were only about 30 people guarding Area C7 now that the special operations team led by Chapter Commander Martins and others originally had more than 600 people in total.
But the fifteen minutes were quite tight, and he had no time to ask any more questions. He went back and quickly sorted out the troops.
The airborne infantry took out their weapons, and the artillery troops that had just been flown in a few hours ago also launched their artillery array.
Everyone, even if they couldn't figure it out, strictly followed the orders and prepared their equipment for battle.
When the fifteen minutes were up, Lieutenant Colonel Derek suddenly felt a strong gust of wind, and then he felt that his eyes were covered with gray. When he came back to his senses, he saw a scene that made him instantly nervous.
He and all the soldiers under his command suddenly entered a space filled with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and strong winds. Not far in front of them, the Governor was floating in the air. Below, four to five hundred of the Alliance's most elite warriors, led by Space Marines and Battle Sisters, were fighting bravely against some strange storm monsters. A little further away, an angry owl standing tall on the sky is roaring angrily to the sky, but why does it always feel like it is incompetent and furious?
The sudden change not only confused him, but also made the soldiers under his command panic.
However, the voice of the Governor sounded in everyone's heart: "Destroy those weak demons and defend our planet!"
The governor's voice seemed to have a special magic power, which instantly dispelled the confusion and panic in their hearts.
As the commander, Derek ordered the battle; officers at all levels began to issue orders; the soldiers began to take action.
The quality of the soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division was certainly far different from the four or five hundred men next to the Governor, but their number was also ten times greater.
Gunfire roared, machine guns fired, and the artillery troops delivered firepower to the areas where the storm monsters were densest.
Immediately afterwards, the infantry began to rush forward. After clearing out the enemies in an area, they would establish a small defensive position on the spot. Unfortunately, the engineers could not dig out the rocky surface that had been blown by the storm for who knows how many years. Otherwise, They would definitely dig some foxholes out of it.
But in general, the soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division established a position on the spot step by step, occupied an area, and formed an arm's length relationship with the Governor and the elite soldiers around him to cover each other. , even raided each other, and attacked and destroyed all the monsters in their way, and finally connected the positions together.
Gu Hang, who was floating in the air, was quite satisfied with what he saw.
He took the time to send Thaddius another message:
"How long until the Northern Army Group arrives?"
Thaddeus responded quickly: "Guaranteed to reach the target location within thirty-two hours."
