Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

How are Kaplan, Magenmo, and Helkis? Sui Bian asked again.

The infrastructure is fairly complete, so the reconstruction work has not encountered any obstacles for the time being. The only point is population replenishment. According to calculations, it will take at least 12 to 14 years to return to the pre-war state. The Queen replied.

Kaplan, Magenmo, and Helkis are located on the edge of the Oslo star area, and they are also completely occupied planets, with less than 300 million inhabitants successfully escaping.

Sui Bian was personally responsible for the purification of Kaplan, so he is more concerned about the follow-up work on these three planets.

I see. Sui Bian nodded lightly, then got up and left the fixed office chair, walked towards the cabin door, and at the same time took down the formal coat hanging beside the door.

Leaving the cabin, he put on his coat and went to the hangar, and said to the two secretaries following him: Tell the people below to get ready, pay attention to maintaining order at the scene, and what happened to Russ and Magnus.

The two Primarchs have arrived at the square one step ahead. The White Queen replied.

Really? Then we should hurry up too.

Is good).

Shortly after.

A flight formation rolled out of the Anthem of Valor's hangar and flew into the atmosphere of Fenris.

…

Sunny side of Fenris, metropolitan area at noon.

Between the building and the street, workers under construction can be seen everywhere, using engineering exoskeletons, or engineering vehicles, SCVs and other large equipment for repair work.

In addition to manned equipment, there are also a large number of squid-shaped machines that look like sentinels that shuttle around various construction sites to help workers speed up the rebuilding of the metropolitan area to its pre-war appearance.

However, there are already many pedestrians on the street. Ground vehicles, sky trains, and flying boats in the waterway all indicate that the metropolitan area, and even the entire Fenris, has gradually returned to its previous state.

District 01 of the metropolis has gathered countless residents. The sheriff and UNSC soldiers are responsible for maintaining order, and the central square is surrounded by the crowd.

The maintenance of order and security in the square is carried out by the Astartes of the Space Wolves and the auxiliary army.

At the same time, the two legions of the Glory Guard, the Wolf Guard (the Chief Wolf) and Sekhmet also appeared on the square, guarding their Primarch.

It was just that Russ and Magnus were not wearing power armor. At this moment, the two Primarchs were wearing custom-made black military uniforms, and accompanied by guards, they came to stand in the center of the square.

Looking at the gathering of more and more people.

Magnus, still with short brown-red hair, couldn't help but sighed to his brother: Russ, do you still remember the Deimos incident? It was the two of us who dealt with the demon incident.

Remember, what's wrong with the nerd? What's there to be emotional about? Ruth was puzzled.

It's okay, I just thought that at that time, we were still unable to face the society as the Primarch, and the human casualties were not as heavy as they are now. I didn't expect that a hundred years have passed in a blink of an eye, alas. Magnus Slightly melancholy.

What's there to worry about? Ruth raised his hand and patted Magnus on the shoulder, saying, Time can't be turned back, unless you can develop magic that can go back in time, hahahaha!

In fact, time is a concept proposed by us humans. If it is placed in the universe...

Stop, stop!

Ruth hastily interrupted Magnus's academic speech. He got a headache when he heard words about universe and origin.

Well, yes, father will be here soon. Magnus looked up into the sky.

I saw that the flight formation was approaching the square at a constant speed, and then a large transport boat broke away from the formation, descended, and landed not far in front of Russ and Magnus.

Expand the hatch.

After Sui Bian, the red and white queens and a group of guards walked out of the cabin, the transport boat lifted off again and disappeared from sight.

Father. The two primarchs stepped forward.

En. Sui Bian nodded lightly.

Immediately afterwards, the guards came between the alpha wolf and Sekhmet. The red and white queens used the holographic device in the square to generate several large screens, presenting Sui Bian and the two primarchs in front of the crowd, and broadcasting the scene to online.

Sui Bian on the screen had a serious face, and delivered a speech: Residents living in Fenris, and all compatriots behind the screen, I am the speaker of the UEG council, Sui Bian.

7.2 billion people... At this point, Sui Bian paused for a while before continuing:

Today, we counted the final number of casualties, which is 7,232,241,414 people, most of whom are honest and responsible ordinary people who hope to enjoy a better life.

Among the 7.2 billion compatriots who have passed away forever, 360 million are sheriffs who maintain the stability of one side, are retired soldiers who have returned to their families and society, and are also soldiers of the UNSC and Legion and Asta. Tet, of course, and the taciturn Kriegers who everyone mistook for cyborgs.

These people, these fighters fought to the last moment, they would rather sacrifice their lives than allow unarmed civilians to be safely transferred.

Even though Kaplan, Magenmo, and Helkis fell, none of the soldiers escaped from their posts and left their responsibilities to transfer alone! No one! They have been buried forever, but I believe their souls will protect us and protect our future.

Once, my sons asked me what kind of race human beings are.

what kind?

To be honest, I have not been able to explain it clearly to them until now, but I know that we humans have a unique characteristic, and it is also the greatest characteristic, that is, when human beings face fear...

Face the pride and disdain of those scum and trash who claim to be gods!

Therefore, we must not forget sacrifices, dead soldiers and compatriots!

Next, we will publish the list of all victims, as well as the latest policy, and...

On Harvest Star, Fenris, and the identity of the psyker who helped Arcadia solve the crisis sixty years ago, I think this is something that all compatriots are curious about...

...

…

three days later.

at dusk.

Earth, Balkan (Greece) peninsula, city of Athens.

The overall appearance of this ancient city is exactly the same as before humans entered the interstellar era, with little change, and there are no giant buildings over 100 meters high and 100 meters wide.

Moreover, Athens also retains many relics built by the ancients, including the Parthenon Temple dedicated to Pallas Athena, and the Temple of Zeus, which was damaged by war and was severely weathered.

It's just that there are not many tourists paying attention to these scenic spots. If it was in the past, it would have been full.

It may be inseparable from the fact that the war just ended, but the real key point is that people learned that it was a group of ancient Greek gods who started the war.

After all, the decisive battle of Fenris made the world know Zeus, Poseidon and other fallen gods.

This is a fact that cannot be concealed.

Moreover, Sui Bian had no intention of concealing it, and even disclosed many details, classifying demons such as fallen gods, demigods, god servants, trolls, and snake demons as abnormal creatures and explaining the relationship between psionic power and them, making Humanity has a better understanding.

If there is no vaccine and Sui Bian's psychic protection, once ordinary people understand the different dimension, they will hear whispers in their ears sooner or later, and eventually they will inevitably fall into chaos.

But now, the human territory has almost shielded the different space, so Sui Bian took advantage of this war to let the society know more details.

After all, what Sui Bian needs is a positive, independent and perfect human society, instead of being imprisoned by him and Umbrella in a gorgeous metal birdcage.

Although it was necessary to conceal, erase and deceive a hundred years ago, today, a hundred years later, human beings have gradually matured, and they are no longer surprised by the dark side such as alien forces and abnormal phenomena.

At the same time, Sui Bian also released part of his information.

southeast of Athens.

Near the ruins of the Temple of Zeus…

I still haven't been able to convince myself that Speaker Sui is the father of the Primarchs.

Yeah...but I'm relieved when I think that the speaker is the strongest psychic among us humans.

Well, indeed.

A group of pedestrians who just got off work were talking about Sui Speaker while walking.

Next to the street, on the holographic screens of the shops, there are hosts broadcasting news about the Oslo star area, and replaying the speech that Sui Bian gave at the central square of Fenris three days ago.

After that day, Umbrella and UEG announced the fact that Sui Bian was the father of the Primarch, and admitted that the person who released psychic energy on planets such as Arcadia and Fenris, as well as the guardian discussed on the Internet, was actually All are the incumbent speaker, Sui Bian.

At this moment, everyone passed by the entrance to the ruins of the temple.

If it weren't for the government's obstruction, I really want to burn these temples! Seeing the word Zeus marked on the entrance, a passerby immediately scolded.

Forget it, the only thing we can do is donate some money to the Oslo side, let's go and have a drink.

Today I also asked for leave with my wife, let's go together.

Oh, all right.

Following the sound of dissuasion, the man finally sighed, and went to a nearby bar with his workers to release his anger and depression with alcohol.

After all, they don't know the evil gods of different spaces such as Tzeentch and Slaanesh, but only know Zeus, the culprit on the surface.

Officially retaining the relics related to the gods of Olympus, but not erasing the records of myths and legends, the reason is to remember history and mistakes, rather than blindly concealing them.

Moreover, it is also a masterpiece of the art and imagination of the ancients.

In the dilapidated temple at this moment, there are only a few security and cleaning personnel waiting to get off work.

There was one, and the only tourist at the same time, standing in front of the statue of Zeus that had already been crushed into rubble and pieces.

The tourist was wearing slim-fit denim trousers and a white hoodie, and she also put a hood over her head, covering her hair and most of her face.

From the front, this tourist is Artemis who came to the temple as an ordinary human being.

Her expression was flat, but her eyes revealed loneliness and nostalgia.

In fact, since she woke up, she learned more information about the different space from Sui Bian, and she already guessed that Zeus would fall, so Artemis also knew that her father would be beheaded by Sui Bian.

sad?

Yes, that's for sure, but it's more that the hanging heart was finally let go, and fortunately her father was finally relieved.

If Zeus hadn't died, more innocent creatures would have been slaughtered and tortured.

As for her being able to come to Athens, the main purpose is to complete Sui Bian's commission and hand over the trident to Hephaestus for remelting and rebuilding.

After the decisive battle of Fenris, the weapons of the gods who lost their users naturally became Sui Bian's spoils of war.

As a reward, Sui Bian let Rus, who faced Zeus and Poseidon alone, take the lead in choosing the weapon of his choice.

And Russ chose the only pole weapon, the trident, but the Primarch also added:

Father, I want a long weapon, but the shape of the trident always feels a bit weird. If possible... let the craftsman help me to forge it again.

Although his son's request seemed a bit excessive, Sui Bian did not plan to teach Ruth a lesson, but entrusted Artemis to be in charge of transportation. At the same time, it was also a disguised form of giving her a short vacation to mediate her emotions.

Among the remaining weapons, Sui Bian also rewarded other Primarchs and Astartes with outstanding achievements in terms of meritorious deeds. For example, Magnus chose the Sun Bow for spiritual energy research.

It's just that Zeus's thunder is temporarily placed in the collection room of the Anthem of Courage.

So Artemis handed the trident to Hephaestus, who still lived on Thera Island, and then disguised himself and mixed into the crowd, visited Mount Olympus, went to the former Yuanyue Lake and his residence, Finally came to the temple of the father.

Ma'am, we are closing here.

?

Hearing the reminder from the security guard behind him, Artemis regained his composure, smiled and said Thank you for the reminder to the other party, then left the temple and walked to the square outside.

Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun, she couldn't help sighing in a low voice: Father, the era of the gods is over.

talking.

Artemis has also left the square, walked out of the ruins area, and mixed into the crowd on the street.

…

Food~! The fist wind resounded.

Boom!! The face of the fist hit the ground.

Boom!! Its strength even made the entire area tremble.

Jason! Take it easy, don't really hurt our little sister!

Hahaha!! That's right, otherwise our battalion commander will tear you apart!

Sarah! Hit him! Hit him! Let Jason have a long memory!

At the same time, there are several people with extremely loud voices watching and joking.

I saw that this area is a large cabin, and it is a fitness cabin that provides weight training for combatants.

However, fitness equipment and barbell plates are far beyond the specifications used by ordinary people, because the lightest and smallest barbell plates are marked with 50kg.

At this moment, in the fighting area of ​​the cabin, many giant Astartes wearing oversized training uniforms and with an average height of 2.5 meters gathered.

And the reason why this group of Astartes are watching and booing is because a red-haired girl with a seemingly weak build, only over 1.7 meters, is challenging an Astartes.

This feat naturally attracted applause from the onlookers.
