Chapter 231, Upgrade! Level 6 Psychic Power, Storm is Coming!
[Event activated: Storm is coming]
[The evil cult that believed in the original wrathful owl, just as it was about to be destroyed, erupted in its final madness. ]
[They are about to summon the Owl God, who has become a member of the Abyss Evil God, regardless of everything.]
[The bravest warriors under your command are trying their best to prevent all this from happening, and what you do next will also have a decisive impact. ]
…
Looking at the news displayed on the [Event] interface, Gu Hang took a deep breath and decided to go to the north in person.
Of course he knew the situation in the Polar Industrial City, and the command center was reporting information to him all the time.
He knew that the city had now been hoisted with the flag of the Alliance; he also knew that his most elite soldiers had already descended to the underground space of the so-called C7 zone and started a firefight with the cultists.
He knew that this time, under Grit's proposal, the alliance had paid a relatively high cost and instantly mobilized a huge force, throwing all its cutting-edge forces at the same thing.
But at present, it seems that this choice is correct. The alliance has made a full-scale attack, showing its strong strength. In a way that the local forces of the Angry Owl Star could not imagine, it carried out a rapid raid, which really completely subdued the Polar Industrial Group, and the entire North will be within easy reach.
Although it would take quite some time to pacify other regions and rebuild the alliance's own ruling system, overall, it would definitely be shorter than the time it took to recover the eastern provinces.
What's more, this action has a great value, which is that it can wipe out the Pingyuanchu Angry Owl Sect in one fell swoop, which is a thorn in Gu Hang's heart.
Gu Hang knew that things might not always go smoothly, so he was prepared for unexpected events and even had corresponding remedial measures in place.
And he himself is part of this "remedy".
He had indeed been busy with government affairs for a long time, but this did not affect the fact that he was the most powerful psychic in the entire alliance.
As a fifth-level psychic, he is able to use psychic means alone to exert fatal control over opponents of the level of the Orc Fleet Marshal.
Not to mention, he had already accumulated enough experience to advance to the sixth-level psychic.
But before that, he had never upgraded.
To upgrade from LV5 to LV6, too many grace points are required
Only 500 points of grace are needed to reach LV5, but 2000 points are required to upgrade to LV6.
This is an expensive price. Even though he had obtained the 10,000 or 20,000 points of grace before, he was not in a hurry to upgrade.
You can upgrade at any time as long as you have grace points; on the contrary, every minute and every second of the development of the territory is precious golden time.
Thinking that there would be no subsequent battles that would require him to personally take part, he did not make this choice.
The two thousand points of grace saved could be used to draw technology, expand the army, conduct multiple political commissar trainings to fill his government departments, expand the demon hunter team and serve as the main force in anti-corruption operations...
His own personal strength is not that urgent.
But now, it seems like the time has come.
On the Wind Falcon flying to the north, Gu Hang used the remaining grace 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 available options, Gu Hang once again chose the spiritual direction as the specialization for this upgrade.
This provided him with a completely new ability: Iron Will.
[Iron Will: You will have a will as strong as steel. From now on, you will not feel tired, shaken, or afraid before reaching your limit. Your emotions will become more stable and strong. The effects of attacks on the mind and soul will be reduced to a certain extent depending on the spiritual attribute difference between you and the opponent. When the spirituality of the caster is more than 4 points lower than yours, all such effects will be invalid. When the spirituality of the caster is more than 4 points higher than yours, the reduction effect is fixed at 35%. You gain 1 extra spiritual attribute.]
Gu Hang is generally satisfied with this new feature.
There's 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 right for dealing with spiritual damage. The two are complementary.
Not to mention, his extra resistance to normal negative states such as fatigue, instability, and fear can also bring him a lot of help in non-combat situations.
As for the extra spiritual growth, it was expected.
At this point, his personal attribute panel looks like this:
[Hero: Gu Hang (camp leader), LV6, insufficient experience to level up]
[Physique: 11, Spirituality: 22]
[Features: Psionic Spellcaster, Governor of the Wrathful Owl Star, Enemy of the Storm]
[Talents: Body protection aura, advanced telekinesis control, mind manipulation, iron will]
The psychic attribute of 22 points is two points higher than before he upgraded, which is equivalent to 2.25 times that of level five.
There is no doubt that his strength has been greatly enhanced once again.
After a quick test, he felt that if he met the Orc Fleet Commander he encountered in the previous star war again, he might not need the cooperation of others. He alone could use psychic power to crush his will, or use psychic power to tear his body apart 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 Feng Falcon was once again demonstrated. It took only two hours to reach a distance of 5,400 kilometers.
This is actually more than twice as fast as the Falcon's regular cruising speed, and it was flying at a speed of Mach 2.5 throughout the entire journey.
In fact, it was rare. Normally, the Wind Falcon would not be so desperate to fly at more than twice the speed of sound for such a long time. After all, it was not a single-person fighter, but an aerial warship weighing several hundred tons. The anti-gravity engine was running at full speed for such a long time, and the energy consumption was terrifying.
However, the Alliance is still very rich in energy for small-scale use. The waste energy storm collection plant and energy compression plant built in the High Tower Province can easily produce super energy crystal blocks. This high-level energy is more than enough for the Wind Falcon to support the consumption of long-distance full-power flight.
It's just that the mechanical structure of the Wind Falcon itself may not be able to hold up. After a few flights like this, I'm afraid it will have to go back for an overhaul.
But speed is of the essence in war, so there is no time to worry about so many things. Let’s just go back and repair it.
The elite special forces who were on duty outside the captured and blocked storage center in Area C7 were very surprised when they saw the Governor coming.
They didn't know that the Governor was coming.
In fact, when Gu Hang set out, he of course sent a message to the front-line command post.
When Thadius knew he was coming, he had strongly opposed it. With such an important position as the Governor, he should not be on the front line in person. If anything went wrong, it would be unacceptable to the Alliance.
However, it was obviously impossible for him to persuade Gu Hang.
As a next best option, he could only pass the message to Captain Martins on the front line.
However, the message failed to get across.
Martins has lost contact.
Then, Thadius tried to pass the message 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 information to spread. The 31st Airborne Division had just received the news, and before the messenger they sent arrived, Gu Hang had already arrived.
The special forces elites guarding outside were surprised, but their first reaction was to salute.
Most of the members of the special forces were selected from the selection of Phoenix Space Marines.
Every one of them had seen the Governor-General at the training place. They were even sure that the miraculous changes that had happened to them had a lot to do with the Governor-General. In fact, a considerable proportion of them had attended classes at Xifeng Zhongsi Academy, and they were extremely loyal to the Governor-General.
After Gu Hang returned the greeting, he called over the person in charge on the scene, a major from the 10th Special Operations Brigade, and asked 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 Marines, there were also thirty-one combat sisters, twenty demon hunters, and twenty special combat elites, a total of more than eighty people.
This is almost the limit. The entrance is just a 6×6 hole, and after preliminary exploration, it is found that the terrain below is narrow, with various underground passages connecting many rooms. No matter how many people go down, it is difficult to deploy troops. On the contrary, a small elite team is more suitable.
Logically speaking, this scale is enough.
However, they had no news for a long time.
The major felt something was wrong, so two hours ago he sent another team to investigate the situation.
Before the team set off, they were ordered to come up and report the situation as soon as they saw Captain Martins, no matter what.
However, they also never returned.
This made the major very anxious.
After that, the major would send another team down every once in a while.
He had already sent more than a hundred people in, but not one came out.
"…Governor, this is the current situation."
The major's forehead was covered with sweat.
He could tell that the Governor seemed to be planning to go down again. He knew that his status was not high enough, but he still gritted his teeth and persuaded: "Governor, I will lead a team down to have a look. As long as I don't die in there, I will definitely bring back the news! You don't have to go down and take risks yourself. The alliance cannot do without you..."
Gu Hang raised his hand to stop him from continuing.
He closed his eyes tightly, feeling the surging psychic power below.
A terrible thing is brewing there.
This is not a complete gestation, but more like the madness before death.
If left unchecked, the damage would actually be relatively limited—for the entire planet, that is.
That should form an incarnation of the evil god that can exist for about a week; it can set off a huge storm that sweeps across the entire northern border.
The Polar Industrial City will certainly be destroyed as a result, and most people will not survive; in addition to the Polar Industrial City, 60% to 70% of the more than two million people in the entire Northern Territory may die directly or indirectly as a result.
All in all, this is a population loss of about two million.
Switching to the cold mode of a ruler, Gu Hang could calculate that this was not a completely unacceptable number.
It is true that this would almost destroy the value of the North, but after a week, the disaster would be over and would not continue to spread.
However, this is the final, worst-case scenario.
Gu Hang believes that the situation is far from reaching that point.
Even if it really came to that, he would have to rescue his subordinates and withdraw his troops.
He was sure of this.
Because he could feel that below, in the turbulent sea of spiritual energy, nearly two hundred fires of life were still burning.
That was proof that his warriors 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 did not leave any explanation.
No need.
He will be able to get out, he has strong confidence in this.
…
After entering from the underground entrance, Gu Hang floated in the corridor.
He saw many dead bodies, but they were all those of the cultists.
Apparently, these cultists put up a stubborn but futile resistance when the Space Marines led the charge.
The warriors of the alliance advanced all the way, invincible.
As Gu Hang advanced along this path, he felt as if he was at the seaside, constantly walking towards the depths of the sea. With every step he took, he felt the power of spiritual energy grow stronger.
The manic power from the abyss, like a real storm, madly washed over Gu Hang's spirit.
But under the protection of the [Iron Will] he had just acquired, these forces did not have any substantial impact on him.
At the same time, he soon saw the members of the first alliance.
They were several special forces elites, lying beside the corridor, breathing rapidly and unconscious.
After a quick check, Gu Hang judged that their consciousness seemed to have entered a strange area.
They seemed to be fighting an intense battle, their heartbeats were fast, their muscles were twitching involuntarily, but they did not wake up.
If Gu Hang uses the ability of [Mind Control], he can wake it 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 the cult high priest Cui Kao who was met in Fuxing City.
The old man died too.
Below these corpses was a rapidly flashing blue and white chaotic eight-pointed star formation.
At the same time, Gu Hang also saw Martins, Grit, the Demon Hunter, and dozens of elite special forces.
They stood with their eyes closed, 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 sea of psychic energy was most intense. However, his strong spirituality and the blessing of [Iron Will] allowed him to avoid that situation.
However, he had to take the initiative to enter it.
