Zongman: Is this how it’s sewn?

Chapter 386 382. Old Data, Civilization Collision

Against the backdrop of the pitch-black universe, a blazing white light streaked across the sky and fell towards the ruins of Freljord like a meteor.

After the white light dissipated, a female angel covered in silver armor slowly landed on the ground. Her wings glowed with a light golden light, like a burning holy flame.

Irene Chenhui is a high-level angel sent here by the angel civilization. She is a member of the "Spark" Legion directly under Queen Yan.

Irene looked around. The ground beneath her feet was covered with cracks left by quantum collapse. Undissipated quantum dust was floating in the air, reflecting a strange blue-purple halo.

In the distance, broken ice peaks pierced the sky like the fangs of a giant beast, and the cold wind whistled past with a burning breath.

"The energy readings are abnormal... The spatial structure is still in a chaotic state." Irene whispered to herself, her fingertips lightly touching the dark energy terminal next to her ear. The runes on the silver armor lit up one by one, scanning the remaining data on the battlefield.

"Wait, what is that?!"

Irene spread her wings and hovered in mid-air. A pale blue data analysis screen flashed in her pupils, and her sight penetrated the ruins and locked onto a quantum core that had not yet been completely annihilated.

It turned out to be a piece of crystal fragment wrapped in dark red energy, which was constantly devouring the surrounding matter.

Suddenly, the crystal fragments trembled violently, and a twisted void crack opened above it. Countless translucent tentacles emerged from it and attacked her!

"The life reaction of the low-entropy body... is the pollution left by the Outer Gods!" Irene shouted coldly, and clenched her right hand. A long sword condensed by dark energy suddenly took shape.

The sword light swept across, and the tentacles turned to ashes in the holy flame, but an inhuman roar came from the crack, as if a larger existence was peering at the other end.

Irene frowned slightly. “Looks like we have to seal off this area.”

"The Queen is going to project over here?"

Irene's face grew increasingly resolute. She quickly retreated to a safe distance, knelt on one knee, folded her hands over her chest, and activated the angel communication protocol.

"Om-"

A holographic projection unfolded before her, revealing Queen Yan's figure in the light. She was clad in silver-white armor, her eyes like stars, her hair like a waterfall, and a hint of fatigue in her majesty.

Aelin said respectfully, "Queen, the Freljord battlefield has confirmed that quantum collapse has entered its final stages, but residual Outer God energy has been detected. Preliminary assessment suggests that an unknown entity is attempting to infiltrate this universe through quantum rifts."

Yan's eyes were stern. After all, this was where Kesha was selecting her successor. In this situation, he might be dragged into the political vortex. He had to be cautious: "Specific coordinates and energy map?"

Irene raised her hand and transmitted the data stream to the projection. A three-dimensional model of the crystal fragments emerged in the void. Its internal structure was like a tangled ball of black threads, constantly eroding the surrounding space and time.

"The wavelength of the pollution source is 78% similar to that of the 'Fallen Mother Goddess', but there are variations. We recommend activating the 'Sacred Star Network' to blockade the surrounding star regions."

Queen Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "Execution approved! Irene, prioritize destroying the quantum core. Never allow the Outer Gods to anchor our universe."

After saying that, Yan turned off the projection. The integration of the Mello Heavenly Court had consumed too much of her energy during this period, and now she had to deal with this kind of cosmic-level incident. However, when she thought of the man waiting for her on Earth, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Yes, sir." Irene said.

After the communication was cut off, Irene stood up, her wings suddenly spread to the limit, and the holy flame gushed out from her armor, turning into a pillar of light that pierced the sky and the earth.

"Activate Sacred Code - Judgment Protocol, Sequence Seven."

The long sword in Irene's hand split into countless light blades, bombarding the quantum core like a meteor shower.

The crystal fragments crumbled in the holy flames, and the void rifts emitted a piercing scream before being forcibly closed. The earth trembled again, but this time it was a silent annihilation.

Irene stood on the ruins, her silver armor stained with quantum dust, but her face showed no joy: "My mission is accomplished... but this war has only just begun."

……

The cosmic hub, the hub star region, the seventh arm.

This is the 37th standard day since Black Star Han Xiao led the Crimson Empire to land.

The Scarlet Empire's fleet hovered outside the Shattered Star Ring. The pitch-black painted "Eternal" motherships stretched across the starry sky like a steel mountain range, the dark energy reactors on their hulls flashing blood-red lines.

Confronting them was the angel civilization, the Silver Wing Arbitrator Phalanx. Twelve streamlined starships spread their wings of light, and the holy glow wove a giant net in the vacuum.

In the negotiation room, Han Xiao's mechanical body leaned back in his chair, his fingertips tapping on the table, his electronic eyes scanning the angel envoys sitting opposite him.

Leading the charge was none other than Yan's chief diplomat, the Angel of Judgment, Lansha. Divine codes floated across her silver armor, and her wings folded like blades.

"The Crimson Empire requires 80% of the star field development rights for the Seventh Cantilever." Han Xiao's synthesized voice carried the uniquely cold and mechanical sound of a machine. "Your 'justice order' can control the natives, but don't get in my way."

Lansha's pupils shone with the golden light of data streams: "The Angel Civilization demands the sharing of all dark matter energy mining technology, otherwise our fleet will not evacuate the hub star zone."

The air was a little stagnant, and the gravitational field generator under the negotiation table made a humming sound under the heavy load, but the picture was still floating above it.

"The Crimson Empire established its first cross-world industrial matrix in Savage Star Region-09, triggering angelic interference." Han Xiao's fingers continued to drum on the table. The machine voice continued, "Is this angelic justice?"

When 30,000 red engineering mechanical insects were gnawing at the planet's core, the punishment fleet led by Lansha suddenly jumped in. The angels' swords of judgment were pointed at the mechanical insect swarm, and the holy flame melted half of the planet's steel foundation.

"According to the New Universe Resources Convention, no civilization may destroy the original ecology!" Lansha's wings remained motionless in the radiation storm.

The soldiers of the Scarlet Empire were a little restless. They didn't understand what primitive ecology was. In their eyes, the behavior of holding on to half of the planet like Lieyang was stupid.

Han Xiao stood up and sneered, "A treaty? That's the moral shackles of the weak. The workers of the Crimson Empire need this metal to build planetary engines. Can your justice feed the energy tanks of 80 million mechanically modified bodies?"

"The essence of your mechanical ascension is the self-castration of civilization, the extinction of flesh and soul."

"And you crucified a living being on the cross of 'justice'—the angel named Irene. Her quantum entanglement report showed that you knew the Outer Gods were devouring the border galaxies, but you concealed the information for the sake of your faith."

The holographic star map suddenly unfolded, and thirty-seven galaxies polluted by the Outer Gods flashed between the two of them.

The scarlet of the Crimson Empire and the silver of the Angel Civilization intertwined on the star map, while further away, the gray fog from the Outer Gods was seeping into the dimensional membrane.

Lansha folded her wings and her eyes recovered from the state of Eye of Insight.

"what do you want?"

"The Crimson Empire wants the star fields of the Seventh Cantilever, the Angel Civilization wants all Outer God-contaminated areas, and we will share the 'old data' you unearthed from the wreckage of the Utopian Kingdom."

After a long silence, Lansha chose to agree. After the advent of the game universe, the scale of the universe has actually increased. It is not appropriate for a larger conflict to break out in the short term. Compromise is an art.
