Chapter 299, Pegasus’s Savior?
The attack in the banquet hall came extremely quickly and suddenly, and ended just as quickly.
Those plague demons, along with the rotten dragons in the sky, became illusory and weak in a very short time, and were eventually either destroyed or driven back to the abyss of hell.
However, those who survived are still in shock.
Once they close their eyes, people can still remember the disgusting appearance of those plague demons and the fear they brought.
Presumably, this will leave an indelible psychological shadow in the hearts of many powerful people.
But apart from these, if people actually take stock of the specific circumstances of that day, they will find that the casualties caused by this short and sudden demonic attack were very limited.
Firstly, the time was too short. Secondly, the Rotten Dragon, which posed the greatest threat, spewed out a breath of corruption at the first moment of the raid, but it was blocked outside by the 'Savior of Pegasus' Gu Hang with his powerful psychic power.
This so-called 'Savior of Pegasus' was a title that was coined by someone afterwards and quickly became popular.
In addition to leaving a huge psychological trauma on the participants, that banquet also left behind Gu Hang's heroic figure.
Who would have thought that there was such a hero in the Tianma star region?
After the incident, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to visit Gu Hang and thank him, but they were all turned away.
The statement made to the public was that Gu Hang had suffered serious mental damage in the previous fight against the Rotten Dragon and needed time to rest, so it was not convenient for him to meet guests.
Of course, Gu Hang did not meet no one. For example, when Chief Pei Desi and others visited him, he still took time out to meet with his mother.
And their arrival is not just to say thank you.
It's mainly about Gallardo.
There were not many casualties in the banquet hall, but the most prestigious war apostle was missing!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he was completely surrounded and drowned by the plague demons. Even though the hero Gu Hang lent a helping hand at the first moment and eliminated the demons that surrounded the war apostle, there was no sign of the war apostle there.
This is a big deal!
After the attack was over and the abyss demons were eliminated and dispersed, the relevant personnel immediately began a full-scale search.
Under the leadership of various officials, the mortal soldiers were dispatched everywhere. By now, the search scope had expanded to the middle and lower urban areas of Mingyan City.
Many people know that this approach is meaningless. Gallardo disappeared in plain sight. What can you find in the lower city? Not to mention that Mingyan City is a huge nest of three billion people. The upper and middle urban areas are barely in order, but the government's control over the lower urban areas has weakened to a certain extent, so there is no way to find him.
However, this is not a question of ability or facts, but a question of attitude.
If someone is lost at your place, you just stop looking for him if you can't find him?
I definitely wouldn’t dare to do that.
Even though we know it cannot be found, we still invest a lot of manpower and resources to try to find it and pray for a miracle. More importantly, we pray that when the blame is laid on us, we will bear less responsibility.
The ones who really do the work are the people of the State Church, especially the combat sisters of Holy Lily of Mercy.
They did not waste time doing useless work, but instead conducted investigations at the origin of the outbreak, in places where the plague demons appeared most frequently.
The content of the investigation is about supernatural powers.
The priests of the state religion and the nuns of the Holy Lily of Mercy now have several different conjectures, but their investigation has reached a bottleneck. They are now in urgent need of a powerful psychic to help them determine which of their conjectures is correct.
It's not that there are no psychics on Koroja 3, but the local psychic order...
The level is too low. The strongest ones are just a few C-level psychics hanging around, and the average people are called great wizards. In fact, the construction of psychic orders in the entire Dragon Eagle Star Region is very poor, and the Pegasus Star Region is still good.
These guys were also called out to participate in the investigation, but it was obviously useless. C-level psychics were at best about the level of Gu Hang's LV4.
There is no other way, I have to find Gu Hang.
Gu Hang thought about it and agreed.
Let's see what they found.
Although Gu Hang didn’t think they could find out anything.
After inviting Gu Hang, Pei Desi and Akuna did not leave. Instead, they started chatting with Ms. Wang Qi in front of Gu Hang, as if they were not in a hurry to urge Gu Hang to work.
Gu Hang, who was pale and looked seriously injured, was listening nearby. He knew exactly what these two heavyweights in the Tianma star region were thinking.
Apart from the possible instigators and murderers, the two of them are the ultimate responsible persons for this incident.
Needless to say, the 'murderer'.
For Pedes and Akuna, the greatest sin is when people "disappear" within their jurisdiction.
It was obviously unrealistic to ask the person in charge of the banquet hall's security to take the blame. He was just a small fry and could not withstand the wrath of the empire.
In fact, neither of them could bear it.
They will definitely be held accountable, and it is very likely that their crimes are extremely serious.
They themselves have already realized this, but they can't just sit there and wait for death.
If you want to reduce your guilt, the best way is of course to find the War Apostle.
But that's quite unrealistic.
According to the investigations conducted over the past two days by the State Church, the Sisters of Mercy and the Order of Psychic Power, they have come up with a variety of possibilities, but almost none of them are good news.
Although they are still looking for it with the last glimmer of hope, they have to think of other ways.
Gu Hang is the solution they want.
It is not easy to talk to the Battle Sisters, as these "daughters of the Emperor" have always been mavericks. The State Religion and the Order of Psychic Powers have already been informed, and their subsequent reports will be biased towards the leader and Governor Akuna, trying to find a way to absolve them of some of the blame.
They still felt it was not safe, so they turned to Gu Hang.
The meaning is also relatively simple and clear.
Gu Hang has already demonstrated his powerful psychic powers, and what he said undoubtedly has a stronger endorsement effect.
But after thinking about it, he expressed his meaning: After two days, when he goes to participate in the investigation, he will take a look at the situation on the scene and help.
The two bosses expressed their thanks humbly, and then left without staying for long.
Even though they got what they wanted, they still didn't look relaxed.
The situation is still very bad.
Gu Hang sympathized with the two of them but had no intention of really helping them.
Reducing the guilt... what's the point? If the guilt reaches 100 points, they will be killed. Their guilt is at least worth 200 points. What's the point of Gu Hang reducing their guilt by 10 or 20 points?
The Empire is not reasonable in this regard.
What's more, Gu Hang himself also needs to take the blame.
After seeing the two off and telling his mother that he needed to rest, he got some space to be alone.
A psychic barrier had already been set up around the room where he temporarily lived to ensure that whatever he did inside would not be noticed by the outside world.
He checked first and found that there was no problem with the barrier. Then he sat cross-legged on the carpet and closed his eyes.
The next moment, his consciousness descended into the Kingdom of Storm God.
There is a war going on here.
Countless heroic warriors are fighting a desperate battle against the plague and evil demons.
This battle has been going on for several days.
At the beginning, there were a lot of plague demons, swarming in. But now, they have been wiped out.
The price paid is not small.
More than 3,000 heroes living in the Kingdom of Storm God have already sacrificed their lives. Their souls were torn apart by the evil magic of the abyss, and even Gu Hang did not have the ability to recall them.
This is a big loss.
Originally, there were not many heroic spirits. The first batch came from the souls of human soldiers who sacrificed in the Kingdom of God when the original Angry Owl God was destroyed. After that, every soldier who had been trained by Gu Hang's [Soldier Card] system would come here after their death.
At its peak, there were more than 30,000 heroic spirits in the Kingdom of God. Most of them were from the Alliance soldiers who died in the Battle of Black Arrow Star and the Western Front Battle on Wrathful Owl Star. A few others were from the Qinggu Army who sacrificed themselves in the continuous fight against the aberrations in the jungle.
The loss of three thousand heroic spirits means that the number of heroic spirits has been reduced by one tenth.
These heroes, in essence, are not only the souls of the warriors, but also the embodiment of the power of the Storm Kingdom. Unlike the storm monsters created by the original angry owl, the actual power of each of these heroes is much stronger, and they all share a part of the power of the storm.
Such a huge sacrifice has caused great damage to the Storm Kingdom itself.
But this is the price Gu Hang has to pay, there is no other way.
He was the one who directed the plague demon attack that occurred in the upper class area of Mingyan City.
After receiving Gallardo's invitation to the banquet, Gu Hang planned to take action. As long as the incident did not happen on the Angry Owl Star, he was sure that he could do it secretly.
The means of use, of course, is the Storm Kingdom that he controls. The origin of a lesser god of the warp is in his hands, and this is of course the best opportunity to use it.
His original plan was to use the characteristics of the Kingdom of God to create a subspace rift and pull Galardo into the Kingdom of Storms.
It's just dragging a soul in, just like when the Alliance's army attacked the Far North Industrial City, the spiritual will was pulled into the Kingdom of Storm God.
If he did that, Gu Hang would be able to kill this guy without anyone noticing.
However, after arriving at Koroga No. 3 in person, Gu Hang found a better way.
The situation on Koroga 3 was even more serious than he had imagined. It was much worse than when the south of the Angry Owl Star was invaded by demons a year ago.
Don't think that at that time, the Great Demon Incarnation appeared on the offshore platform south of Qinggu. But in essence, it was a reckless attempt by the Great Unclean One. Judging from the scale of the invasion, the cultists had gone to great lengths to open a deep crack on the offshore platform by using the energy of a still functioning spiritual gas field.
But on Koroja 3, there are countless such abyss cracks.
If Gu Hang was just a top-level psychic, he wouldn't be able to understand this very well. But he also controls the original power of a lesser god in the subspace, which adds too much to his ability.
Koroja 3 has been corroded and riddled with holes. It is unknown how long the cultists have been operating secretly on this planet with a population of 40 billion. They have used evil methods, sacrificed and infected countless people, causing the reality curtain between the entire planet and the abyss of the subspace to become extremely weak.
Here, it is very easy to tear open the abyss cracks. From the perspective of the Storm God Kingdom, there are already countless abyss cracks in the fallen nest city.
Moreover, the forces that invaded Koroja 3 this time should also be under the command of the Chaos God known as the 'Father'.
This is the crisis on Koroja 3.
According to Gu Hang's assessment, the crisis facing this planet seems to be huge now, but in fact it has just begun. The subsequent disasters may completely sweep the world and every hive. If one goes wrong, it will be a catastrophe that 40 billion people will have to endure.
If that happens, the entire Koroja 3 falls, and the Pegasus sector is doomed - the suffering and despair of 40 billion human souls struggling in the plague will completely open up a huge abyss crack, and the entire planet will be dragged into the subspace. From this huge, planet-level black hole, the Chaos Legion will swarm out, and the Demon Fleet will appear, carrying the Chaos Army, and kill the surrounding areas.
This is a crisis that could destroy the entire star region.
Of course Gu Hang had to be vigilant about this. His Angry Owl Star was right next to Koroga 3, and it could be reached with one star tunnel jump. If the worst case scenario really happened, Koroga would be the first to die, and the Angry Owl Star would be the second.
But the crisis of Koroja can be put aside for now. The current situation of this planet being invaded on a large scale by the "Father's" territory provides Gu Hang with a good way to deal with Gallardo.
What he has to do is not difficult.
He first tore a crack in his Storm Kingdom from the Kingdom to the Father's Domain - this is very simple, the subspace is not the real universe, but it has a close mapping relationship with the real universe. When Gu Hang came to Korojia No. 3 and approached the "Father's" domain, the Storm Kingdom he represented also approached the Father's domain.
Of course, he was not regarded as an enemy by the "kind father". It was like an ant crawling next to a giant, but the giant didn't see it at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't take it seriously.
After this crack was opened and a lot of plague demons poured in, one or more cracks were opened in the real world, that is, above the banquet hall and the surrounding areas. When connected together, it was equivalent to opening an abyss channel from the real world that could connect to the Father's realm.
That's how the rotten dragon and those plague demons that emerged from the ground came about.
