The process of capturing the goddess went quite smoothly, however, everything did not develop as the human high-level officials had expected.
After the goddess was captured, her followers still insisted that she was the goddess.
Human beings' act of imprisoning the goddess without permission is a blasphemy. The angels demand that humans release the goddess immediately and accept her punishment, otherwise they will not be polite.
This plan was made to prove that the goddess is not a goddess.
Naturally, the human high-ups would not take the goddess back so easily. While they were negotiating terms with the angels, they were also making preparations for war.
By the way, the technology of the Nine-Life Cat Demon became more mature during this period.
Computer particles can enter the human body in the form of compounds. The person who controls the magic power from the outside only needs to control the computer particles in the body through certain instructions. They can then combine with previous virtual reality technology to artificially create illusions in a person's brain and train the soldiers' spirits.
In order to process various complex information to ensure the safety of soldiers, humans created artificial intelligence AI - [Nine-Life Cat Demon].
The technology called "Nine-Life Cat Demon" was soon used in the development of magic.
The technology of maze manufacturing and operation has also achieved rapid development after the continuous innovation of the technology of the Nine-Life Cat Demon.
Surprisingly, a unique phenomenon of magic enrichment appeared in the maze.
It started out as a small glitch that caused the computer particles to take on more properties similar to other elements, and the magic became more viscous and easier to combine.
Then, the magic power took on a unique water-sphere-shaped entity.
They appeared in groups in every corner of the maze, wandering aimlessly, consuming nearby magic power, and splitting apart. They were like the original life.
Their behavioral characteristics are similar to those of slimes that often appear in some games, so this phenomenon is also called the "slime" phenomenon.
Researchers cannot be sure whether "Slime" has its own will, but because it is made up of a large number of computer particles, it has very efficient learning ability. As long as a specific instruction is input to let it deal with a certain situation, even if no instruction is input next time, it can respond accordingly based on the previous situation.
Quite interesting.
However, before the research on the slime phenomenon could be further explored, it was abruptly stopped by senior management.
In the past, the creation of life was an enduring topic, but after believing in Luka, many people have a unique respect for life.
The phenomenon of "slime" with "signs of life" like this may cause them to open Pandora's box.
So, the top brass eventually called a halt to the research.
Only one plan was approved to use this special property to create a new AI - [Light of Destruction].
As long as [Light of Destruction] is taught how to inflict the memory of despair on people, it will be able to continuously inflict horrific despair on all humans it encounters.
This plan aims to train a group of warriors who are not afraid of death in case of emergency.
This decision seemed to be the right one at the time.
As humans were reluctant to return the goddess, the goddess's angels passed through the portal and attacked humans to demand the goddess back.
They launched a lightning offensive, quickly destroying the ruling center of mankind in the blink of an eye, and for the first time demonstrated to mankind the power of angels.
Humans were not afraid, and the warriors they trained severely damaged several angels, thus helping humans to win back the battle.
A small-scale victory cannot cover up the overall disadvantage.
But under the operation of a huge propaganda machine, this small-scale victory was exaggerated as mankind's first major victory against alien civilization and was widely publicized.
"Alien civilizations are nothing special."
"The so-called goddess is nothing but a scam."
"Humanity is definitely capable of breaking the blockade of alien civilizations and taking technology to a higher level."
"When we have technology equivalent to that of God, we are God."
There are endless arguments like these.
The human top brass, however, are very clear-headed. With their current level of technology, it would be difficult for them to deal with the goddess's followers. This has caused many disagreements among the human top brass.
Some people believe that war will stimulate the emergence of more emerging technologies. Humanity has been in a unified and peaceful era for a long time. Stopping war may also be a reason for technological progress. This war is an extremely rare opportunity.
Some people believe that various technologies are developing rapidly during peacetime, and this is not a problem of war. War will only bring suffering, so the goddess should be handed back, and they should beg for forgiveness and stop the war.
Some people think that it is too late to hand the goddess back now. This action will definitely become a huge handle, making them forever suppressed by the goddess's civilization.
Wundt originally maintained a relatively neutral attitude, but under the lobbying of one person after another, his attitude became more and more inclined to go to war with the angels.
“Now, there’s no going back.
The goddess is a disguise of a higher civilization. If we can't deal with the goddess, human technology will never be able to develop.
This concerns the future of our species.
We should first find ways to repel the angels. No, we must prove that we have the ability to resist the angels before we can completely execute their fake goddess.
They are not descendants of Luca and are not of the same lineage as us.
But they are also life.
If it is life, it follows the rules of competition with each other.
We did not violate any of Luka's teachings.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest.
If we can defeat them, we can prove the superiority of Luca's descendants. If we can't, we can only try to adapt to them.
I think more people want to be a Tyrannosaurus Rex that gallops across the earth rather than a mouse that hides in a tree.
The only thing that could have wiped out the Tyrannosaurus Rex was a natural disaster.
For modern humans, there are no natural disasters to speak of.”
Although Wundt's passionate speech did not impress everyone immediately, it did win the support of some neutral people.
The war faction won by a narrow margin over the other factions.
Humans decided to accept the angels' challenge and fight to the end.
However, the gap in strength soon made countless combatants feel despair.
Angels use holy light as their weapon, which has both healing and offensive capabilities. Angels also have white wings that allow them to soar into the sky, whereas humans can only rely on bulky armor and huge warships to fight, and their flexibility is far inferior to that of angels.
Several battles ended in a miserable defeat for humanity.
As a result, some human war advocates began to waver, believing that it was a very foolish decision to confront the angels.
If humans cannot find a way to fight against the angels, they may face complete failure.
