Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Inside the channel on the east side of Eden Port.

Even though the space is spacious enough to allow side-by-side flight, the two Viking fighters are still one behind the other, escorting Thunder in the center of the formation.

And the pilots looked towards the front of the field of vision, and found a huge gate slowly opening to both sides, and at the same time, bright light was also sprinkled into this dim channel.

Seeing this, the pilots slowed down and drove Viking and Thunder gradually approaching the gate.

And the number of this gate is 4.

At this moment, artillery of various calibers inside the port of Eden aimed their muzzles at Gate No. 4 one after another.

And on the maintenance platform closest to Gate No. 4, there are also ten APUs waiting in full force, as well as Admiral Okal and the guard company.

As the elite of the rebel army, the soldiers of the guard company wear light gray training uniforms, relatively sophisticated armor and helmets, and hold standard stun guns or small-caliber live ammunition weapons.

Waited for a moment.

Okal and his team saw the formation pass through the gate and enter the port.

Hover, descend height, and prepare to berth to the platform.

However, before the two Vikings were about to touch the ground, they were transformed from fighter planes into ground armored units under the surprised eyes of all the Edenians and even Okal.

Boom! Boom!

Two Vikings, several times larger than the APU, landed on the platform, and also used four rotating Gauss cannons to deter the APU and the guard company.

A warplane with a deformable structure...

Ocal, who witnessed the whole process of Viking's transformation, felt more intuitively the technology mastered by Umbrella.

Viking was in charge of deterrence and confrontation, while Thunder made a complete landing and stopped. As the pilot opened the nose hatch, the six gladiators walked out of the cabin first, standing in an inverted V formation at the front of the hatch.

This group of elite legionaries did not raise the parallel bolt gun placed on the left arm armor, nor did they activate the locking function of the plasma shoulder cannon. They just kept silent, looking down at the guard company who aimed their guns at them.

Immediately afterwards, Angron, Victor, Mark and others left the cabin in turn.

...

Okal and the soldiers of the guard company raised their heads more and more, indicating that Angron was getting closer.

Wait for the angle to be fixed...

Angron had already come not far from O'Carl, still smiling, as if the previous conflict had never happened, he spoke first:

Commander of Umbrella's Eighth Legion, Angron, you must be Admiral Ferminio Carr.

... O'Carl was a little dazed, and his expression was also a little frozen.

The soldiers of the guard company were astonished, which was the same as when Victor, Mark and others saw Angron for the first time.

but…

Aside from Victor, Mark and the others at this moment were obviously not calm, and there was even more fear in the eyes they cast on Angron.

Just now, the instant fall of the frontline base and the two electromagnetic warships, the entire rebel army has no ability to resist, all of which were written by Angron.

Mark saw with his own eyes that Angron raised his right hand, and his body burst into a faint light. After that, they arrived at the port of Eden safe and sound.

This is beyond what Mark and the others can understand.

And human beings have an instinctive fear of the unknown, especially for powerful unknown things, whether they are friendly or not.

As for Angron's ability to raise his hand to shine, it was because of the use of psychic coercion. He also sensed the fear of Mark and his party, but he would not give any explanation.

Because Angron learned a crucial piece of information from his father, that is, there is no different space in this universe, and he, as well as the pure psychic energy contained in the Astartes, will not cause any harm to this universe. any impact.

At this time, Okal, who had never seen Angron release the psychic power, quickly adjusted his mentality, nodded immediately and said:

Yes, that's right, I am Okal.

Very good. Angron said bluntly: Presumably all of your senior officials in Eden should have understood the unpleasant first negotiation just now.

In order to save time for both of you and me, and to liberate all human beings as soon as possible, the admiral, please call all the high-level officials of Eden for a second negotiation. This is the last time I will maintain a peaceful attitude.

Of course. O'Carl had no objection, and waved his hand to the left and said, Actually, the Eden Council is ready. We just wait for Mr. Angron's arrival. Please come with me.

With that said, Okal looked at Victor, Mark and others standing behind Angron again, and said in a slightly solemn tone:

Major Poliyev went to the parliament with us, and the others were temporarily taken to the detention center to await follow-up interrogation.

Yes, General. Victor stepped forward

And several guards and soldiers also left the team and came to escort Mark and others around.

next.

Angron left two gladiators behind to cooperate with two Vikings to guard the Thunder, and then followed Ocal with four gladiators to the elevator on this platform.

Step into a lift that's big enough to hold ten APUs and lots of soldiers, so there's no need for Angron to stoop and bow his head.

The gate is closed.

The elevator starts.

Standing in the center, Angron took advantage of his height to observe the outside situation through the protective net. Soon, the elevator carried them away from the military fortress-like port and descended into a tunnel.

Watching the lights go by one by one.

In less than half a minute, the tunnel scene came to an abrupt end, replaced by an extremely spacious underground city lined with stone pillars and countless metal platforms and buildings.

Angron estimated that the width of those stone pillars was at least six to seventy meters, and the height was about 200 meters. The overall appearance was not smooth and round, like the load-bearing pillars of this underground space.

And there are many excavated caves around the Stone Pillar for the people here to live.

At this time, O'Carl sighed to Angron with a little melancholy: This is Eden, which our military has tried its best to protect, and it is also a sanctuary where thousands of humans live.

...

Angron just nodded with a smile on his face and didn't reply.

In fact, here is a kind of closed colony built in the main universe, where people hollowed out the inside of asteroids with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers in order to mine the mineral resources of the asteroid belt for a long time.

Therefore, most colonies will place large-scale simulation equipment on the top to simulate natural scenery such as sunny days, thunderstorms, or night starlight, and give psychological hints to people living in the colonies to avoid long-term depression.

On the other hand, Eden without analog technology...

Even though there is an alternative lighting device on the top and the space is wide enough, it still cannot avoid the feeling of being restrained or even imprisoned.

In the main universe, people can travel freely and leave the closed and oppressive asteroid colony, but the people living in Eden, once they leave and go to the ground, they will only end up being hunted by machines.

Although it is a shelter, Angron thinks that Eden is more like a second cage specially prepared by machines for human beings, transferring the first cage, that is, some difficult-to-discipline human prisoners in the void, to the It's just a second prison in reality.

Of course, humans in the middle of the situation cannot see this clearly, but as an outsider, especially Angron, who is the Primarch, he can see through it at a glance.

That's why he didn't respond to Okal's emotion.

Reach the bottom.

The gates opened to both sides, walked out of the elevator and continued to transfer to a rail train, rushing to the Stone Pillar located in the center of Eden.

Fortunately, Eden's rail train has no carriages, but a slab with fences, so that Angron and the four gladiators can also ride smoothly.

When they left the hall and drove into the interior of the dungeon, the residents who were busy with different jobs and wearing old work clothes were attracted by Angron's shocking height.

! !

Some residents are shocked, but many more...

What the great priest said is true! God really sent his heir to the mortal world to redeem sinners like us!

It's the Son of God...! It's the Son of God!

The peace I've been waiting for will finally come! Great!

It's the residents who look excited, excited, and yell about priest, sinner, salvation and son of God, or... believers.

See this scene.

Angron's face remained the same, but his eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.

In fact, from the information he received from Victor, he learned that there is a church named Son of God in Eden.

Based on many records in the Bible, this church made the people of Eden believe that one day in the future, God will send his sons down again to lead them, sinners, to defeat the machine and return to the surface.

The church has existed for many years. According to Victor's description, it was officially established more than half a century ago, almost in 085 of the Eden calendar.

Angron can understand that human beings in the last days need a belief, a hope for salvation.

only…

Religion is established by people, but people have selfish distractions, so this son of God will inevitably be mixed with various interests and power disputes.

The psychic perception told Angron that Victor, Ocal, and some soldiers of the guard company beside him were also full of disgust and contempt for believers, or religion.

After all, whenever the army successfully defended Eden, or made progress in the battle against the machine, it would be called God's blessing by the church.

If the battle is lost, the church will also say, The army did not pray to God, they are sinners! and other words.

Moreover, in the desperate environment of the end of the world, the vast majority of Eden people pin their hopes on the so-called God and God's heirs, which has caused the church to grow in size and last for a long time.

Now, when believers see the god-like Angron and the gladiators, they naturally regard them as the sons of God described by the church.

...

Seeing these phenomena, Angron knew that his arrival would definitely endanger the cake that some pampered people and a very small number of moths had enjoyed for a long time.

About half an hour later.

The train passes through the dungeon, enters the interior of the central pillar, and stops at one of the platforms.

Get off the train.

Angron saw a group of soldiers with much better equipment than a company of guards, guarding a woman in a red robe and ornate head who happened to get off another train and looked at them across two tracks.

This woman is the priest of the Son of God, Lucis.

Seeing this, Victor sneered with disdain on his face: Oh, the magic stick is here too.

Oh? She is what the major called a magic stick? Hmm... Just looking at her clothes, she is indeed so. Angron responded with great interest.

...

Okal didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, betraying the admiral's actual thoughts.

At this time, the three of them seemed to be standing on the same front invisibly.

On the other hand, Lucis, whom they called the magic stick, was as shocked as when everyone saw the Primarch for the first time, but in order to maintain the noble and calm image of the priest, he tried his best to restrain himself from screaming.

Afterwards, Lucis and his party walked into the nearby passage and disappeared.

Okal also led the crowd to leave the platform, enter a relatively short passage for Angron, take another elevator, and go straight to the uppermost floor of the stone pillar.

…

Shortly after.

The core area of ​​Eden, the council hall.

Its main body is fan-shaped, with layers of stepped seats, enough to accommodate more than 500 people here to discuss important matters related to Eden.

At this time, the hall was full of congressmen representing different classes, positions, or residential areas, as well as several senior military generals headed by Okal, and of course Lucis, who represented the Son of God.

Angron sat in an exclusive seat of suitable size prepared and built by the staff in a hurry, and sat in the front right position.

There were no figures of the four gladiators, indicating that these giants obeyed the Primarch's order and temporarily waited outside.

But Victor stood at the front of the hall, and told everyone present that when the Abraham was performing a reconnaissance mission, he found a machine army preparing to attack Eden, and that the battleship crashed and was rescued by Umbrella.

After listening to the narration, everyone had different expressions, ranging from joy and doubt to solemnity and worry.

Major Poliyev... are you saying that the robot army has been completely defeated by Umbrella? asked a member of the council.

Yes. Victor turned his head and glanced at Angron who was sitting not far away, and continued:

According to what Commander Umbrella said, that's right. It's just the specific course of action. I have no right to know the authenticity of the result.

Thank you, Major Poliyev, for your report. Okal brought the topic to Umbrella in a timely manner, and asked Angron:

Mr. Angron, please help us solve the confusion. Where did you Umbrella come from, what is your purpose, and how can you prove what the major said, that you have defeated the machine army?

heard the words.

Angron stood up and left his seat in response to different gazes, and stood at the front of the hall in place of Victor.

At this time, everyone has already passed the height shock period, and they are no longer too surprised by Angron.

Come to the front of the hall.

Angron took out a chip the size of a card from his uniform pocket, placed it in his left hand, and then cast a large holographic screen for everyone present, showing the sea of ​​robot corpses directly above Eden.

And with a friendly smile as always, he said: This is the scene on the surface. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. As for where we come from...

talking.

Angron switched the content of the holographic screen, and continued: It is difficult to explain clearly to everyone, but the purpose of our coming here is to completely liberate mankind.

Negotiating with you is also my father's intention to make everyone present, and even the whole of Eden, ready to rebuild human civilization.
