Chapter 233: Experience the shock of mortals
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 he was under some kind of attack, and tried to use the power of psychic energy and the [Iron Will] to block these countless fragments of knowledge from his consciousness.
But soon, bits of knowledge that leaked in made him realize that he shouldn't do that.
Of course, he did not withdraw his defenses directly, but used the ability of [Iron Will] as a filter to filter out the knowledge.
If it is useful, absorb it, and then stitch it together to form a reasonable and valuable knowledge;
What is useless and incomprehensible is kept out.
To be honest, the latter far outnumber the former.
In fact, this is not an adventure, but a "revelation" or curse that psychics of a certain level will get when they come into close contact with the abyss of hell.
Crazy knowledge invades the brain and can kill people if they are not careful.
Too much information will explode the psychic's brain; a lot of knowledge is "toxic" and will pollute the recipient's soul and drive him crazy.
A psychic who is not strong enough will die for various reasons; even a psychic who is strong enough must do his best to keep the evil knowledge that is constantly instilled in him out of his soul.
But Gu Hang's current strength, especially with the bonus of [Iron Will], has exceeded the level of being able to passively block. He even has the ability to further actively screen out the understandable and useful parts of the knowledge and absorb them.
From the many pieces of knowledge and information he pieced together, he learned that the place he was in was a corner of the [Abyss of Hell].
[Hell Abyss], this is the abode of demons, but it is also part of the [real world].
The so-called [real world], different from the [real world] or [material world], is the bottom layer of the universe.
All supernatural powers - so-called psychic powers - come from there.
Humanity's most advanced technology is essentially the extraction and utilization of psychic energy in various ways.
The real world is divided into two layers: the Hell Abyss and the Star Spirit Realm.
In the past, there was no such distinction, and the entire 'real world' was horrible in appearance, bred with terrifying monsters.
It was not until at least ten thousand years ago that the human emperor who founded the empire ascended to become a god, cut out a part of the real world, and established a spiritual network, so that this part of the spiritual energy could be used purely, stably, and safely.
Before the establishment of the spiritual network, using psychic energy was a very scary and dangerous thing. If you were not careful, your mind would be occupied by an indescribable existence, your personality would be changed, you would self-destruct due to excessive use of psychic energy, and your coordinates would be located so that demons would tear through the space cracks and come to reality...
Even interstellar travel is extremely dangerous. The astral tunnel is a tunnel made of psychic energy, and is also located in chaotic space. When traveling through it, it must be covered with a protective force field and must be navigated by a powerful star torch.
Even so, many horrific incidents still occurred during the journey through the astral tunnel. It was common for a few people to be missing or extra on the ship after completing an astral tunnel, and it was even common for the entire ship to be lost in the astral tunnel...
But with the spiritual network supporting the astral spiritual world, the safety of spiritual energy has been greatly improved. Astral navigation has become safe, spiritual energy users have become safe, and the technology that uses spiritual energy has become safe, which has greatly expanded the upper limit of human beings.
However, the security of all this is built on the spiritual network.
There is still a considerable portion of the real world that is not safe.
This part is the so-called [Hell Abyss]. It is filled with uncontrollable psychic energy, waste energy emitted after utilization, chaotic demons, and even the most terrifying evil gods born in the chaotic universe.
The evil gods each occupy a part of the abyss of hell, and four of them are the most terrifying.
The Abyss of Hell tried frantically to force these four names into his mind, but his spirit was warning him frantically. He knew that these four names could not be known to mortals.
These four names are the kind of scary knowledge that will make you a target once you know them.
Gu Hang did not seek death and resolutely kept this knowledge out.
But the information about the other evil god was not a big problem and was within his tolerance.
[Storm Evil God·Original Angry Owl]
In the earliest days, it was the leader of the last wild angry owl tribe on the Angry Owl Star 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. When human colonists arrive and develop star-level civilization, even the strongest animal populations are either locked up in zoos for people to appreciate or put in nature reserves.
The so-called nature reserve, in the name of protecting the original ecology, is actually just a larger zoo.
It is no exception. It and its tribe live in the protected area.
However, one thing happened to it.
The humans on this planet have a kind of worship for primitive creatures like the 'Angry Owl'.
At first, it was probably just people's love for the Angry Owl, a native product of this planet. After all, they look cool and cute, and they are a local product, so it is normal for people to like them. Later, this love really gave rise to something similar to religious worship.
But if that were all, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
But in the world of Angry Owl Star, the barrier between it and the real world is particularly weak, and it can even create precious resources such as rare spiritualized gas fields.
People's love and admiration for the creature, the Angry Owl, becomes powerful because of this and is reflected in this Angry Owl, the strongest living Angry Owl on the planet, making it stronger and more vigorous.
Then people will like its powerful and beautiful appearance more.
But if that were all, then it wouldn't be a big deal. It simply gave birth to a somewhat magical beast.
Moreover, this incident was not unique to it. Every strongest Angry Owl on the Angry Owl Star had experienced similar situations.
Even if it is extremely powerful and has some intelligence, that's all it can do. It can only stay in the nature reserve.
However, the opening of the Demonic Rift and a catastrophe that swept the world changed everything.
It fell into the abyss of hell and was accepted by the abyss of hell. It was once worshiped, and a sect was born on the Wrathful Owl Star. It also occupied a small space in the abyss of hell, and it was the master of this space.
This means that it has truly become a god.
This is the Hell Abyss, yes, but it is certainly not the entire Hell Abyss. It is just that as a lesser evil god among lesser evil gods, it has its own unique space, which is not even as good as a speck of dust compared to the entire Hell Abyss.
But here is its [Kingdom of God].
In the previous cult ritual, it was extremely close to the real world, and it was only a matter of stepping into the chaos formation. Its power, through the formation, was able to affect the real world, so that it directly pulled all those who approached the chaos formation as a channel into its kingdom of God - that was how Martins and others came in.
The good news, though, is that it's not strong enough.
Gu Hang was not affected when he approached the chaos formation.
The reason why he came in was that he came here on his own initiative.
The warriors here, with only a few hundred people, can firmly block the attacks of many storm demons;
After Gu Hang arrived in person, he was able to use his psychic powers fluently. Because he was in the real world, deep in the abyss of hell, his psychic powers were greatly enhanced. He could disperse the "Evil God Kingdom" within a radius of 300 meters with a single thought. He could show 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, in his own home turf.
Its majestic body in the distance was about to step into the real world step by step, and it was also being pulled so hard that its steps were extremely slow...
Of course, we cannot look down on it just because it is a second-rate evil god among second-rate gods.
Although its strength is much weaker than that of the great unclean being that invaded the Angry Owl Star a few months ago.
But it is an evil god after all. If it were to enter the real world and violently unleash its power, it could still bring devastating consequences.
Even if it was just a short trip to the real world, the evil god who had harvested the souls of one or two million northerners would undoubtedly cause a second disaster even if he was subsequently expelled back and became even stronger and more powerful.
The connection between it and the Wrathful Owl Star is too deep. The power of the abyss of hell will continue to penetrate into the real world through this connection, secretly brainwashing one person after another. I am afraid that it will not be long before a new evil sect that worships the Wrathful Owl is born.
…
After understanding a lot of relevant knowledge, Gu Hang also had a rough idea of how to deal with it.
Originally, his worst consideration was: rescue people, withdraw troops, evacuate as many people as possible, let the storm rage in the north for two or three months, and then consider subsequent issues after this evil god lost his power and was driven back to the kingdom of God.
But this will cause the loss of a large number of northern population and the production capacity of the Polar Industrial Group. There will also be serious sequelae. The original Angry Owl Sect will definitely revive, and in a very strange way, a considerable number of people on the Angry Owl Star will be randomly selected and contaminated into cultists.
If it is really impossible to do anything, then these situations will happen. At worst, we can find a way to solve them as things get better in the future.
However, it now seems that he has a way to handle it, and there is no need to go that far.
If this second-rate evil god is only at this level...
Then Gu Hang doesn't mind letting it experience the shock of mortals.
…
Lieutenant Colonel Drake received an order: assemble his troops, except for the necessary personnel guarding the key positions of the Polar Industrial City, all others should go to Area C7 and prepare for battle.
He didn't quite understand the order at first, so he called Commander Thadius to ask.
Thadius did not say much, but just asked him to do a good job of pre-war mobilization of the troops, mobilize all the military and political commissars, and tell the soldiers that they were going to fight in a wonderful place, and they would fight side by side with the Space Marines under the leadership of the Governor.
Derek perked up.
From the nearly 10,000 troops of the 31st Airborne Division, he selected two regiments and two artillery battalions, totaling more than 5,000 people, which was more than half of the combat forces, and they arrived at the designated location.
Here he met the major of the 10th Brigade who was in charge of the defense of Zone C7.
The other party asked him to organize the troops into battle formation and be ready for battle. In fifteen minutes, the battle will begin.
Derek was a little confused.
He didn't quite understand what it meant that the battle would begin in fifteen minutes.
He didn't quite understand. Originally, the special operations team led by Captain Martins and others had about 600 people in total, but why there were only more than 30 people guarding area C7 now?
But fifteen minutes was a tight time, so he didn't have time to ask more questions and had to go back to organize his troops.
The airborne infantrymen took out their weapons, and the artillery units that had just been airlifted in a few hours ago also opened fire.
Even though everyone was confused, they strictly followed the orders and prepared for battle.
When fifteen minutes were up, Lieutenant Colonel Drake suddenly felt a gust of wind, and then he saw white in front of his eyes. When he came to his senses, he saw a scene that made him instantly nervous.
He and all his soldiers suddenly entered a space covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and strong winds. Not too far in front of them, the Governor was floating in the air, and below him, four or five hundred of the most elite warriors of the Alliance were fighting bravely against some strange storm monsters under the leadership of Space Marines and Battle Sisters. A little further away, an angry owl was roaring angrily at the sky, but why did it always feel like it was incompetent and furious?
The sudden change not only confused him, but also made the soldiers under his command a little panicked.
However, the Governor's voice rang in everyone's heart: "Destroy those weak demons and protect our planet!"
The Governor's voice seemed to carry a special magic that instantly dispelled the confusion and panic in their hearts.
As the commander, Drake ordered the battle; officers at all levels began to issue orders; and the soldiers began to take action.
The individual quality of the soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division is certainly far inferior to that of the four or five hundred men next to the Governor, but their number is ten times greater.
Gunfire roared, machine guns fired, and artillery units delivered firepower to where the storm monsters were most concentrated.
Then, the infantrymen began to rush forward. After clearing an area of enemies, they would set up a small defensive position on the spot. Unfortunately, the engineers' shovels could not dig the rocky surface that had been blown by storms for who knows how many years, otherwise they would definitely have dug some foxholes.
But in general, the soldiers of the 31st Airborne Division established a position on the spot step by step, occupied an area, formed a pincer attack with the Governor and the elite soldiers around him, covered each other, and even raided each other, eliminating all the monsters that stood between them, and finally connected the positions into one.
Gu Hang, who was floating in the air, looked quite satisfied.
He found time to send a message to Thadius:
"How long will it take for the Northern Army to arrive?"
Thadius responded quickly: "We guarantee that we will reach the target location within thirty-two hours."
