In the world of stars, the sea of vacuum between stars is filled with extremely thin but mist-like dust.
In the Frontier Galaxy, the Ancient Langma Nebula located between Sector 78 and Sector 76 was once an interstellar civilization called the Langma Federation. It was not destroyed at the hands of the Evil God Familia, but was destroyed at a time of more than 300,000 years. Previously, an artificially induced supernova erupted - an extreme coincidence brought about by an incorrect psychic ritual, which caused the entire Langma Federation's array to use solar energy to operate incorrectly, and through hyperspace psychic reactions, chain detonations under their control Twenty-three stars destroyed all the core territories and colonies of the Federation in eight minutes.
I don’t know whether this was stupidity or unlucky. Something that was theoretically impossible killed eighty-seven billion Langma people in an instant. The star dust from their union became a composite nebula that was still spreading. And the souls and spiritual energy of all the Langma people spread and condensed in the nebula, converging into a small spiritual star: because the death was so sudden and without warning, the Langma people back then had no time to give birth. The two emotions of 'absurdity' and 'anger' were wiped out, so this psychic star was still relatively pure, and could even be used as the coordinates of the ship to guide the fleet of latecomers through this sad nebula.
Three hundred thousand years later, the psychic star is gradually approaching extinction, and the Gulangma Nebula has also welcomed a new uninvited guest - the Chaos Familia descended from the void, destroying and using everything they can perceive, and the Nebula is no exception. , became their nest.
The Ancient Langma Nebula contains a large amount of psychic clutter. The Chaos Familia are not worried about this interference, but it is difficult for ordinary fleets to sail in it. Without the guidance of the psychic stars, the Ancient Langma Nebula has completely become a hiding place for the Chaos Demons. , becoming a restricted area for surrounding civilizations.
However, now, a huge and strange fleet is shuttled through the Gulangma Nebula, and in the center of the fleet, a giant warship with a three-dimensional image similar to a G shape and a frontal height of more than 25 kilometers is spraying out phantom-like jets. The flow of psychic energy moves forward in the vacuum, and its side depicts a bright red, burning fire pattern.
'Agni' urgently cleans up the fleet.
It can be seen that in the nebula in the distance, a small reconnaissance ship leaps out. After handing over the signal, it quickly approaches the fleet and is then taken into the giant battleship. As the database is connected, a large amount of information is transmitted.
"Really? The psychic star has been completely extinguished, but the Chaos Familia has also disappeared without a trace."
In the bridge command room, an old Qin Ya who looked like a cicada swayed his tentacles. He calmly read the exploration information in the database and muttered: "So, there are no enemies in the entire Gulangma Nebula. . Twenty-seven reconnaissance ships have obtained the same results from all directions. Unless the Chaos Familia have evolved some new abilities, this is the fact."
After thinking for a moment, the cold voice of the machine came from the chest of the Tan Yaren, and the translation machine hummed: "The whole ship is accelerating. Let's leave the inner layer of the nebula and jump to the next target."
"yes!"
A uniform answer came, and as the orders were relayed layer by layer, the total number of ships exceeded 2,900. The Fire Emergency Fleet holding the giant Star Destroyer turned slightly, and then all speeded up and flew towards the outskirts of the nebula.
Since there is no target here, let's perform the next mission. The emergency cleaning fleet is equivalent to the white blood cells in the 'Galaxy Guardian Alliance'. The goal is to clean up all the germs related to Chaos in the alliance territory.
No one on the ship had any objections to this order. Every crew member in the cleaning fleet was a carefully selected elite with the best qualities and combat awareness. The captain who led this group of elites , the powerful psyker who controls the 'Armageddon-class Star Destroyer', the five-star fleet commander Kedar is an elite among the elite. For this man who has fought for more than forty-five years in his life and commanded three fleets to fight against Chaos. The one hundred and two holders of the 'League Guardian Medal of the Alliance', no one will have any meaningless doubts about his orders.
Even Falla, the deputy captain and crew chief of the maintenance department of the Star Destroyer, a native of Atrium, will unconditionally trust this experienced veteran commander most of the time.
However, today is an exception.
Falla is a Zhongting person who has more carotene in his body, so the leaves on his head will be orange. He pretended not to care, and glanced at Commander Kedar, who looked calm and normal, and his heart was full of Worrying.
The worry didn't start from today. To be precise, Faya has been worried about Kedar's mental state since the Fire Fleet's mission not long ago.
After all, not everyone can remain normal after witnessing the home planet of their own race being blown up, and what’s even more frightening is that the person who issued this order was the person himself—even, on the planet that was bombed On the planet eroded by chaos, there is still that person's only descendant, the grave of his deceased wife, and the last remnants of all his relatives and friends.
Simply the worst day a person could ever experience.
After enduring such pain, being able to remain normal is the biggest abnormality. After that mission, Faya had already applied for recuperation treatment and psychological treatment from a specialized psychological team to Tikdar, a high-ranking member of the Alliance Military Department, but she didn't know that. Is it because the recent war situation is too anxious? The long-overdue adjustment order has not come yet, so Kedar is still leading the Fire Fleet to clean up and fight everywhere.
In fact, this is nothing. Faya feels that if he keeps fighting the Chaos Familia, it would be a good thing for Kedar to vent the pain and anger in his heart. At least this is a normal channel, but he doesn’t know if it is a roundabout battle. The reason why it was so successful was that after the destruction of the 'Eternal Void Anchor', huge changes occurred in the entire Evil God Familia camp - the Great East Sector suffered continuous fierce attacks, and the Great Southern Sector was where the Fire Fleet was located. In the large star region, the Evil God's Familia all retreated, leaving only empty lairs and exhausted star systems.
"Oops, the Chaos Familia in Gulangma Nebula also retreated... We haven't even fought a single battle in the past few weeks!"
Faya secretly groaned in his heart. Of course he knew that the sadness and anger in Captain Kedar's heart had not completely calmed down. He had seen Kedar take out old photos of his family in his spare time several times, and occasionally in the psychic wave. The words "Eternal Void Anchor" and "Starbreaker Fleet" were conveyed, which completely showed that the other party was abnormal.
Needless to say, the 'Eternal Void Anchor' is essentially a void door that is connected to the void and lasts for eternity. It is the largest source of reinforcements for the Chaos Familia. During its existence, every time unit poured out of it. The number of Chaos Familia even exceeds the number of Chaos Familia that were eliminated on hundreds of battlefields at the same time. The life preservation program confirmed through calculations that if the eternal void anchor is not destroyed, the war will never be victorious, and the Great Roundabout Battle is the Guardian Alliance. In order to divert the tiger away from the mountain, they devoted all their efforts to contain the main force of the Chaos Familia on the frontal battlefield, while the elite troops made long-distance jumps and used suicide attacks to destroy the void anchor point.
The Starbreaker fleet was one of the fleets that launched a suicidal attack on the Eternal Void Anchor in the Great Roundabout Battle. Most of its members were alone, without any relatives or friends, or were single men whose relatives and friends had all died at the hands of Chaos. , out of the eighteen fleets that carried out the suicide attack, only one of its fleets had a small fleet of battleships that survived and kept their numbers. All the others were honorably decommissioned, and the names and careers of all the fleet members were recorded in the 'Guardian Martyrs Monument'.
In Faya's view, there is no doubt that Commander Kedar has no intention of living anymore. He wants to serve in the Starbreaker fleet, continue to perform the most dangerous and difficult missions, and then die in a certain mission - maybe The reason why the furlough order did not come was because of this. Kedar should have applied for this order long ago. The senior military officials welcome such veteran captains who are determined to die and experienced to serve in the Starbreaker fleet. That will definitely affect Chaos hits hardest.
However, there has been no small encounter for several weeks, and Faya is very worried about Captain Kedar's mental state - if anger is not vented, it will really gradually destroy the psyker's sanity, and Kedar is still a He is an Omega-level psyker. If he really went crazy, he might destroy the Star Destroyer by himself.
"Don't worry, Faya, after all, I am an old soldier who has been fighting for more than 40 years."
Suddenly, Faya, who thought he was well hidden, heard the mechanical sound coming from the translation machine. He raised his head in surprise and found that Captain Kedar had turned his head, his tentacles trembling and said: "I'm really fine. , you don’t have to worry too much about my mental problems.”
"You, can you see through my mind?"
Faya first felt a sense of embarrassment that her secret had been revealed, and then she felt surprised and even shocked: "Although it hasn't been long ago, I am also an Omega-level psyker... Wait, is it possible?"
Thinking of a possibility, the leaves on Faya's head began to curl up in shock: "Have you broken through to the realm of immortality?!"
The so-called immortal realm is an Omega-level psyker who has surpassed the ability to conduct interstellar fleet battles alone, and is a true powerhouse who can single-handedly determine the direction of a battle. This level of psyker , even the entire Guardian Alliance is rare, and the total of more than 8,000 interstellar civilizations does not exceed forty people. Most of them are leaders of many civilizations and cannot easily go to the battlefield.
If the other party really breaks through to the realm of immortality, then he must be able to really control his emotions and not fall into madness... In that case, it is a good thing.
"Probably, it just broke through that layer of paper."
But Kedar responded calmly: "I have been pondering at the peak level for decades. Under the stimulation of extreme emotions some time ago, I reviewed my life, figured out many problems that had troubled me before, and I have observed every thread of my psychic energy with the calmest mind... I have indeed made progress, but it is hard to say whether I am an immortal or not."
This was originally a happy event. The fleet commander broke through the realm of immortals, which is also the highest level in the entire alliance. This should be a great joy that spreads to the entire alliance, but for some reason, Faya suddenly felt a heartfelt sense of desolation.
If the price of becoming an immortal is to personally order the destruction of your hometown, your home planet, and everything you once cherished—then not many people will be willing to do this, because people go there for their own purposes. Gaining power and destroying purpose and reason for power is the most ridiculous stupidity.
It was hard for Falla to imagine how much anger and hatred had settled under Kedar's calm tone and those compound eyes that showed no emotion, and what kind of surging emotions drove this man to concentrate on commanding combat numbers. The commander and captain, who had not seriously thought about how to break through the realm in ten years, forcibly broke through that barrier in just a few weeks and found his own way
Kedar himself didn't know.
In front of the bridge, the fleet commander turned around and stared at the vacuum in front of him and at the hazy stars in the distance. His tone had always been calm and rational, but that was the limit - today's Qin Yaren didn't dare to say much at all, it had no idea at all , when will he suddenly roar or wail in pain, pouring out all the spiritual energy in his body, destroying everything around him.
Breaking through the realm of immortality? maybe. Kedar knew very clearly that the short-term improvement in his power was probably just a flashback - the huge psychic energy spurred by emotions had gradually begun to exceed his control, reaching the realm he had never dreamed of. When the power broke through When the day comes when the limit comes, he may indeed advance, but he is more likely to turn into a terrifying and weird immortal-level psychic monster.
—I have to leave. If I want to lose control, I must at least lose control within the Chaos Familia.
The voice of reason told him that the fury of anger should be poured out on the enemy. This was the best revenge and the only meaning of survival for him who was still lingering.
- No matter what the hell, as long as I can kill the Chaos Familia, I don't care what kind of monster I become!
This is the roar of hatred that has no owner. He has lost all his relatives, all friends, and even his home planet. The Qin Ya people are no longer a civilization without a home. The Qin Ya people who are wandering in the entire alliance may continue to use the interstellar Forms of civilization existed, but the newly born Qinya people would never know the beauty of their home planet again.
There is nothing left, except for hatred and revenge, Kedar has no reason to fight against chaos or suppress his anger. When he wakes up from his dream every day, he will be confused and laugh at himself as to why he should remain rational.
Anyway, he really has nothing left, so why should he suppress himself, pretend to be rational, or even pretend to be calm and calm, and issue instructions that make him feel like vomiting
Emotions were torn and torn in his mind, but Kedar could still maintain his sanity. As he said, he was indeed fine. As a great psyker, he could indeed control his emotions, even if it was just walking on the road. Thin Ice... At least, during this time in the Fire Fleet, he could control it.
As for the transfer of the Star Breaker fleet... that is another matter.
"come quickly."
Staring at the hazy stars in the distance, with the spiritual energy around his body filled with red luster, Kedar whispered nervously to himself: "I can't wait..."
And right now.
In the vacuum, a giant spiritual network that could not be seen at the level of infinite light began to tremble. Along with an undetectable buzz, four completely different rays of light began to leap and spread throughout the starry world.
Pure blazing light swept through millions of star fields and billions of stars. They searched for and responded to those beings who could resonate with themselves, looking for their apostles.
Then, a blood-red light broke away from the trembling giant net, flew out, and landed in Kedar's mind without anyone noticing.
No one noticed this, neither Falla, who was next to Kedar, nor the other fleet staff on the bridge.
Only Kedar himself was shocked.
He felt that his soul was heating up - an extremely pure and clear emotion poured into his spiritual sea, making Lao Qin Yaren's spiritual world chaotic, a mess mixed with hatred, anger, sadness and confusion. Suddenly clear.
At that moment, many things suddenly came to Kedar's mind.
- He wants to kill the Chaos Spawn, the more the better. He wants to ignore the fucking fleet and responsibilities, and directly drive the Star Destroyer towards the nearest Chaos lair to explode himself. He wants to simply fight with After dying in the chaotic war, he wanted to pour out his endless hatred, his endless anger and madness, no longer caring about reason - and there was no object that he needed to treat rationally - and then he became like this Powerful psychic monsters, go to Chaos to kill them.
The purest 'hatred' induced countless dark thoughts, just like stones falling from a quagmire, causing countless lurking poisonous snakes, insects and ants to swarm out. Kedar stared at these dark thoughts in his mind in shock. It was an unbearable thought, and he couldn't help but tighten his arms and legs, and his tentacles curled up.
But at the same moment, many thoughts also surged in his mind.
- He wants to protect other races and other civilizations so that they will not repeat the mistakes of his hometown. He wants to lead his fleet and his crew to fight against the invasion of Chaos, so that sad individuals like himself will not appear again. , his heart is filled with endless courage. Just because he has nothing and no one to love uniquely, he has everything.
Because he had nothing, he had nothing to fear.
- Kedar recalled his oath to join the Guardian Fleet in the past.
"We will guard all life and order among the stars, shining like stars on all civilizations and races. We are the vanguard against chaos and the guards against invasion."
"We are the Guardian Fleet, and we will clean up chaos and disaster until the end of life."
Two seemingly opposite emotions, but originating from the same origin, collided in Kedar's heart.
The old Tan Yaren raised his head silently, his tentacles suddenly began to vibrate, and then he suddenly 'cryed' in his own spiritual world.
"Ah, it turns out that I still have such a huge cowardice in my heart."
He silently asked himself: "So it turns out that I didn't control myself at all, was it just a matter of suppression?"
- If you say that losing a loved one will allow hatred to ferment uncontrollably, and then spread to other people, and even destroy yourself.
That is really a huge cowardice and a joke.
If Chaos had thoughts and could speak, it would definitely laugh at such a boring self.
"I… "
In reality, the blood-red psychic energy that filled Kedar's body suddenly shook, and then suddenly dissipated. He whispered: "I was wrong."
The decline of hatred can neither defeat the enemy nor destroy chaos. It can only send oneself and the people around him into the abyss... What he needs has never been 'hatred', nor is it escape in the name of 'revenge'. Reality, even self-destruction, but the courage to look directly at the dripping blood, face this bleak life, persist in a future where everything has been lost, and still decide to continue moving forward!
Admit your hatred, admit your mistakes, admit your cowardice, admit your self-abasement - then direct your hatred towards the enemy, correct the mistakes one by one, hang the cowardice on the wall as a warning, and sweep the self-abasement into the trash can .
Face it all, your dirty self, and the bleak reality. And then, at the same time, face the future without fear.
This is courage.
Spiritual energy, gathered again, and then transformed.
The brighter, brighter blood-red power gently pushed aside the deputy captain Faya who was approaching anxiously and noticed that something seemed to be wrong. This power was different from psychic energy. It was not a light like a phantom, but seemed to have an entity. 'Substance' in general.
"Hate can also bring courage, like a lighthouse sign guiding a ship to sail."
Kedar breathed out, and there was light shining in his compound eyes: "But you can't be overwhelmed by hatred and mistake the lighthouse for your destination."
My fight... is not to exact revenge on Chaos. My fight is not that superficial.
What I want is to move forward, in this world full of chaos, toward a future without chaos!
And when Kedar finally understood the concepts of 'courage' and 'hate', 'anger' and 'madness', which are full of contradictions but can be integrated into one, the moment when real 'courage' was born in his heart , the red light that poured into his mind suddenly shone brightly.
[Guardians of the Galaxy, individual Kedar Mona'n, you have great courage in your heart, you belong to the Ring of Courage]
[Chi Yongtian invites you]
It is just courage. At most, it is just to obtain the recognition of the Ring of Courage and obtain a rune shadow. If you want to truly hold the materialized Ring of Courage, this is not enough.
To become a ring bearer, you must be an individual who can control 'hatred', understand 'madness', control 'anger', and realize 'courage'. Just like the ring that serves as a vow, you must hold and discipline all these emotions. .
It could be seen that the shadow of a ring with lightning-like runes appeared on Kedar's chest, hanging on one of its limbs, and then began to materialize rapidly.
Blood-red flames ignited and enveloped Old Qin Yaren's whole body. All the cracks in the carapace, aging joints, and various torso parts that had lost their luster and roundness were all burned in the bloody flames. Then be renewed and feel young again!
At this moment, a majestic momentum that seemed to materialize spread throughout the entire Armageddon-class Star Destroyer in an instant, and even to the entire Fire Fleet.
"Si, commander?"
On the side, Faya was so shocked by this overly powerful momentum that she sat on the ground. Faya opened her eyes wide and said in shock: "You, you have made a breakthrough!"
There is no doubt that after seeing Kedar's completely new and completely youthful immortal body, Faya's tone was extremely determined and she cheered sincerely: "Great!"
"Oh oh oh! Captain broke through?"
"Commander, you actually did it quietly..."
"I can actually recover from such a big blow..."
"Congratulations, Commander, for becoming an immortal!"
Suddenly, the entire bridge was filled with cheers and praises of joy, and even on the communication channel, various congratulations and blessings came one after another - as Claire has led the fleet for more than ten years, both old and new The members all know how hard their commander has been dealt before. Taking advantage of good things now, they will naturally do their part to wash away the gloom with blessings.
"Okay, stop it."
Strong mental fluctuations resounded in the minds of everyone in the entire fleet in an instant. Kedar, who quickly took control of his new power, calmly raised his head. He seemed to want to say something to his crew members who had been silently supporting him and trusting him. , but an urgent text message from the military headquarters interrupted his thoughts.
"... Very good." Commander-in-Chief of the Agni Emergency Cleaning Fleet Kedar Monaan read this text message several times. He turned his head and looked at Faya: "Change the crew settings, let's turn, and head towards the direction with full power." Go in the direction of Dark Galaxy'."
"Commander?" After being stunned for a moment, Faya quickly reacted, with joy and a hint of trembling in his tone - a trembling of excitement: "Could it be?!"
"It has been proven that the gods of the Midgardians joined forces with our great mechanical leader to destroy more than 90,000 Chaos Galaxies not long ago. The Chaos Familia have begun to shrink in an all-round way. We don't need to be alert to the rear - a major counterattack is coming."
The cold and serious mechanical voice sounded again from the translation machine on the chest, and together with the message in the spirit, it was transmitted into the minds of all the crew members of the entire fleet: "The military department has ordered that all fleets that are not performing emergency missions of 'SS level' and above Suspend all current operations and head to the front lines of the sector."
"We're going to end the cleaning mission and start the counterattack!"
There was a moment of silence, and then cheers echoed throughout the fleet.
After listening to the sincerity, hatred and anger against Chaos, and the fearless cry of courage for a moment, Kedar raised his head and looked at the stars that began to rotate due to the turn of the battleship in front of him. He could sense that the battleship was approaching. Under Ya's instructions and dispatch, the settings and coordinates of the remote jump engine unit were changed, the psychic core began to charge, the battleship was accelerating, and everything was in place.
It's just the right time.
So he spoke calmly: "Coordinates, Eastern Star Region, Tehran Star Region, First Star Base."
"The entire fleet is in position and in the best condition. Start the long-distance jump engine and dock with the anchor point in the Tehran star field. The operation code is - Great Counterattack. Follow my instructions."
Having said this, Kedar paused, raised his jointed limb, touched the red ring on it, and then gave the final command.
"jump!"
It's a catch-up to yesterday's update... The weather has turned from winter to spring recently, and I can't figure out whether I have a fever or just a cold...
Asking for a monthly ticket
