Chapter [284] The Road to God
The last time, the last time Admiral Matthew came to Hyperion was to accept the appointment of Langton, the leader of the Republican Army, to command the entire naval fleet of the Republican Army.
As UEG's largest colony outside the solar system, Hyperion is also the most successful.The commerce here is prosperous and the industry is comprehensive. You can also see the grand sight of the ships in orbit before entering the atmosphere. During the development of Hyperion, Hyperion gave birth to its own unique culture and a brand-new home identity, so even in the old UEG era, this place was a very dangerous separatist area-this may be why the Republican Army can easily It was swallowed from within UEG and became the foundation of the business. The aborigines here have been off the earth for a long time, and the powerful branches are always ready to counterattack the original family in order to seize the clan.
UEG is like a decaying empire. It has a myriad of internal contents, but the "barbarians" who entered Rome, the People's Federation, don't care how many complicated systems and sophisticated power transactions they have, so the People's Federation probably will not understand unless they rule.But now, General Matthew has another opinion, that is, Hyperion may have always been a site of the Unified Church hidden under the appearance of separatism, and with the full cooperation between the Republican Army and the Unified Church, this place in At least one sect that UEG has suppressed has surfaced.
The shuttle unfolded its folded wings and glides over the cities of Hyperion.A few months ago, this planet became a large construction site, and the Republican Army was desperately expanding it, but now, many new urban areas have been established, and they have successfully undertaken the acceptance of the transferred population from other colonies. The situation has long been foreseen.In the city, General Matthew saw a large number of assembly halls, which were often crowded with people, and the propagandists of the Oneness Church were teaching them "progressive teachings."This is the secularization advocated by Lord Langton, and it seems to be done. The new teachings are combined with humanism, and become the guiding way of life with official endorsement. People are also willing to accept these things about equality and morality. After all, it is a troubled time nowadays, and people in troubled times hope to rely on something.
So in other words, the Normalization Sect has grown at a viral rate throughout the non-People's Federation-controlled area in recent months.
"Is this the territory of the Republican Army, or the territory of the Guiyi Sect?"
Matthew frowned, but he would not say these words.The shuttle flew all the way over the city where statues of gods were erected, scripture ribbons were hung, and gatherings were held everywhere. The admiral noticed that in the short time he left Hyperion, the center of the city did not know When did a silver tower stand erect.
There is something wrapped in the metal shell, which is eyelid-jumping. They look like they have been completed and have been standing here for a while.There are especially many new urban areas. Many cables are connected to these facilities to supply power to the buildings. Needless to say, Matthew, who has seen the information given by the People's Federation, automatically matches the reality with the data.
Langdon, what the hell is he going to do?
No one knows what the head of the Republican Army is going to do, and the general has also arrived at the new official residence on Liberty Peak. It is not an easy task to pass through the tightly guarded guards. Matthew has never seen these soldiers. They were not Langton's former personal guards. These guys had the insignia of the Unified Church on their bodies, and they actually asked for the general to be searched.
"Sir, we cannot allow people to enter the mansion wearing combat equipment..."
The guard's words were polite, but there was no respect in his tone.Admiral Matthew seemed to be angry because of this, he scolded the other party loudly.
"Combat equipment? Are you treating me, the Minister of the Navy personally appointed by the head of state, as a killer? You are not qualified to give me orders. Get out, I want to see the head of state!"
An admiral with real power had to pay attention to it. After several quick procedures among the "senior officials", General Matthew quickly got a verbal order from the head of state, and he could go to the head of state's office. Meet alone in the office, but he still has to disarm.
Matthew had never expected to bring a gun in, he just deliberately created trouble to judge the situation.It seemed that Langton's words here were still useful, and he had no intention of embarrassing himself, so he was guided into the mansion alone, and finally saw Langton in the center of the building.
The guide closed the door, and in this lonely room without sunlight, Matthew looked at Langton, and Langton looked at him.
"Long time no see, Langton...the head of state." Matthew spoke first, his eyes slowly looked around the room, and finally his eyes stopped on a statue, this red statue was placed in a translucent container, But just by looking at it, Matthew felt as if his mind was about to be taken away.
The seal of God, the seal of God!
Head of State Langton, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was sitting in a wheelchair with a pale face like a sick person.He looked at Matthew, the man who was used to looking down at others, but now he could only lie on a chair and look up at others.On Langdon's neck, the part that was said to have been cut off by the assassin was covered by clothes, but it was beating slowly.
"I hadn't heard of your health being so..."
"Thanks for the concern, but I'm fine...Really, although it was hard to accept at first."
Langton opened the mouth and said, he even laughed, but I don't know if it was because of the atmosphere, Leader Langton laughed very strangely, as if it was not himself who drove this body, but some special existence.He greeted Admiral Matthew with superficial courtesy—this was even more abnormal, because everyone knew in the past that Chief Langton was an extremely fierce person, and he was willing to spend his time on the destruction of the old era, But I don't want to say a word more in communicating with people!
People outside compared him to those extremely conceited tyrants in history, but in Matthew's view, it was all because Langdon stood too high and climbed too fast.
From an insurgent leader who quickly climbed to the pinnacle of a civilization, the expansion of mentality could not even keep up with the change of status. He refused to communicate in the past because he had no ability to communicate at all, and political negotiations were even more impossible. Emphasize your attitude.This kind of political incompetence is concentrated in the brutal decoupling of the People's Federation, the occupation of Hyperion but the inability to rule, and finally the cooperation with the Unification Church-Matthew can see it clearly, which is why he joined.
But the situation has changed now... just like Langton in front of him.Strictly speaking, Matthew came to report to work, and he needed to explain the heavy losses in the Tiancang galaxy battle, but unexpectedly, Chief Langdon seemed to have no interest in this.
"There will always be losses in war. The People's Federation is a powerful opponent. We have exhausted conventional means. Facts have also proved that conventional methods cannot defeat unconventional opponents."
Matthew was speechless for a while, and it was incomprehensible that the conversation fell into silence just like that-a terrible, meaningless silence, because Chief Langton had been watching the scene in silence after he finished speaking. His gaze was almost embedded in the small divine seal in the center of the room, and he muttered in his mouth, as if he was talking to this divine seal.
The size of this divine seal was only one person tall, but such a thing stood between the two of them, and as Langton's behavior became more and more abnormal, Matthew began to feel a little unbearable.He was highly vigilant in his heart, and he hadn't forgotten everything that was said in the People's Federation information—damn it, could it be that the leader of the Republican Army was also sealed by God...
"I'm not brainwashed."
Suddenly, Langton spoke again. He looked at the general, as if he had read the opponent's mind:
"How? Isn't it amazing? The seal of God can read people's brain waves, and I can read the information of the seal of God, so I can also know what you are thinking-Matthew, you are on guard against me, because Do you believe the rhetoric of the People's Federation, do you think I am controlled by the Guiyi Sect? No, no one can control me, I am controlling them... Haha, I also know that they are obedient to me on the surface, but they are fine , You don’t care, you don’t understand enough.”
What is Langton talking about?It doesn't matter, the point is that he just started talking on his own, he sneered, and slowly stood up from the wheelchair.
Matthew wanted to give a few words of advice, but at this moment, he felt a tinnitus ringing in his head—the first warning in the People's Federation information, the first step in the influence of God's seal on people is physical discomfort, neurosis The tinnitus was the first to bear the brunt of the reaction!The veteran of many battles immediately took a step back, and then strengthened his will.
At this time, Langton stood up and continued.
"I will come into this world, and I will go through it all, not for nothing. Fate has tested me, and I will reap my prize - I am sure of that...You will never Understand what death means to me, death is never the end, I have personally proved this, and the seal of God also told me so."
Once, Langdon just wanted to live, but he soon discovered that since death is just a new beginning, why should he be afraid of it?So the man soon stopped living for the sake of being alive and decided to do more.
Interestingly, when he was fearless, as if he had answered the password correctly, he became smoother and smoother.The order began to smile at him, he became the leader of the crowd, and then everyone came to help him, be it the People's Federation or Guiyijiao, from an ordinary person to a leader leading the times, Langton firmly believed that all of this is Destiny rewards me!
However, having reached the pinnacle of power, Langdon began to think again.
"How should I control my own destiny? People are mortal, so will they enter the next cycle? Why did I enter such a cycle? What is the purpose of all this?"
He looked at Matthew coldly, and said mockingly: "You who only have a short life will not understand. This world is not so static. There are some things that are higher than human existence. They are playing with us. All the efforts we have made They are just a game——I see this clearly, but I have not found the key to it for a long time...until, the appearance of the seal of God."
How amazing, isn't it?But there was something more important, and Langdon couldn't talk to others about it, and it made him cry, and that was the only thing.
"In this world, only God Seal understands me."
Only Shenyin understands his loneliness and points out a clear path for himself!
"The guys from Guiyi Sect just want to use me to gain power, but why don't I use them? They blindly worship the seal of God, but I can communicate with them, do you know why?"
Because I am special, I was chosen by fate, I am a time traveler, only I am so extraordinary can I be equal to the equally extraordinary God Seal!
"The seal of the gods told me that there is indeed another realm in this world, which is the spiritual dimension, a space beyond reality! Only higher-level beings can act in it. That's it... so my spirit is immortal, so I can continue to be reborn and reincarnated!"
At this time, Matthew, who had been patient, finally couldn't help it: "I don't know what you are talking about, but the seal of God can read people's hearts, and it will use your own desire to deceive you!"
"Shut up! Short-sighted mortal!"
Langston growled furiously, like a cat whose tail has been stepped on...then he laughed again.
"Why should I care about you, an ignorant person? But now you only need to know one thing."
Langton lay on the god seal, his eyes fixed on the surface of the god seal, and counted every word on it: "The god seal is sharing power with me. Through it, I can hear people's thoughts, and Not long after, my thoughts can also be transmitted to everyone through the seal...so I built new seals everywhere on the planet, and those idiots of the Unification religion were happy, but they didn't know that my will was always Above them. The unity they desire, I will give them personally... Matthew, would you like to hear me tell you a story?"
Whether Matthew is willing or not is really not important, the key is that Langton wants to talk!Now that we know that there is a realm of "pure spirit" above the real universe, where there is true immortality, how to enter that realm?
"An ancient civilization, they found the key. Because the individual's spirit is like the light of a firefly, and cannot survive in the spiritual realm independently, then let everyone's will condense into a fireball, a sun, wouldn't that be enough?"
"But since everyone's will is fused together, without the self, isn't it the same as death? So this civilization thought of a way, they found a way to let the superior override other wills, and then use a single will Lord, merge everything else, and then, be able to ascend! Everyone's shoulders support his independence, and become eternal in the immortal kingdom, isn't this a god?"
"There is no doubt that this is not fair. When I heard the history that the seal of God told me, I also felt 'how could this be?' But I soon understood that there is no equality in this world! Just like me Chosen by fate, I am different from you, and I am supposed to be above everyone else! So from then on, I knew that I had found my direction—the so-called return to oneness is the godly rank prepared for me! "
Although there are still many things to pay attention to, for example, the spirit is not without loss, so the will of the blood moon needs to constantly devour others.But it doesn't matter, Langdon has this qualification, he will become a god of human will, in his domain.
"Leadership by me, people will get real happiness, I will create a beautiful world for them in the spiritual kingdom, and only need to ensure one thing is enough - I am the master..."
After all, Langton, smiled, and laughed very happily!Everything he said is true, and these are all he has repeatedly confirmed from the seal of God. He is closer to the truth than anyone else, and he is more eager than ever to be freed from this world. The first step , is to prepare for yourself enough other spirits that can carry your own consciousness.So he has ordered to gather as many people as possible. After all, Langdon is not ignorant of everything that happened in the solar system. How can he give his enemies a chance to stop him?
And then... I didn't do it all for myself.
"Do you know why we can't defeat Renrenlian? Because Renrenlian has such a high-dimensional existence. I saw it with my own eyes through the seal of God. It is a terrible guy. So everything is connected. Why should Renrenlian Do your best to destroy the God Seal and kill the Guiyi Sect? That’s because the ruler behind the People’s Federation is afraid that someone like me will appear on an equal footing with him. It seems that in the realm of pure spirit, there is still a big battle waiting for me.”
But I will definitely win, because the God Seal told me that once the population under my command is transformed, the spiritual level can easily surpass the opponent's size, and I can gain an overwhelming advantage...but I must be fast, because this cunning The opponent has been preventing the aggregation from happening, and he will definitely come to stop himself!
"I won't be so stupid, so I have already arranged everything, and I just called you back to prevent you from messing me up... The guy behind Renlian not only occupies the spiritual dimension, but also A civilization that governs reality? What an amazing guy, I think I can learn it too."
Langton finally lifted his head from the surface of the seal, but when he turned his head, he found that the room was empty.
gone?Langton felt very surprised. He seemed to have talked for too long, and he didn't know exactly when the other party left.Do hopeless mortals actually want to get rid of their doomed fate?
"Get rid of those guys... Ah, forget it, it doesn't matter if they want to live, but no one can escape the unity." Langton smiled, he felt that he was really magnanimous, maybe today is the day he was promoted , so I feel particularly good.
"Just today, it can't be later."
Langston fished a transmitter from his pocket, which he kissed and opened to reveal a red button.
Outside the official residence, Admiral Matthew, who had already stepped on his shuttle, gave a loud order to take off.Since he did not receive an order, the guards below did not stop the admiral who rushed out in a hurry. He pretended to have a quarrel with Langton and paralyzed those people. When he finally felt safe, the shuttle Already took to the sky.
"People's Federation is right, I have been turning a blind eye to what is happening in front of my eyes! Damn, they will kill everyone, and I am their biggest accomplice!"
Matthew took off his military cap, and he threw the Republican torch pattern on the cap badge to the ground.The adjutant didn't understand what was going on, but the admiral went straight to the comm.
"I'm Matthew. The fleet will stop supplying immediately. Everyone will enter the combat position. I'll be right there, understand?"
"Understood, sir... what happened?"
"I'm not sure, but it's definitely not going to be a good thing...Damn it!"
Suddenly, several explosions occurred in the cities above the ground.These loud noises are rhythmic and carefully arranged, and in Matthew's sight, the "towers" he had seen standing in the city before, the outer metal shields disintegrated in the explosion .
The scarlet spiral twin towers were exposed.
"He's starting, right now?"
Matthew was stunned, but on the other end of the communication, the staff officer was still asking: "What should we do next, sir?"
"The file that unblocks the database, pass it on to every ship, the one from the People's Union...yes, that's what I mean, I know it's hard to accept, but they're right. Follow it If we do, we may still have a chance!"
A few words in the communication can't explain much at all, Matthew is very bitter in his heart, but he has no better way.My subordinates don't understand what I'm doing at all. They probably can't accept what I said, "The People's Federation is right", and they haven't seen what I have witnessed—how should I tell them, especially Is it now that there is no time?
"Sir, there is a report from the ship that there was a conflict between the marines on their ship and the pilots of the Avenger Squadron..."
The staff officer said, and immediately, he received an order from General Matthew that sounded very urgent.
"Langton is going to attack us. Quarantine all personnel who are not our fleet, block the deck and all cabins, hurry up! We must..."
A gunshot interrupted everything.
Matthew's voice came to an abrupt end here, the admiral opened his mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound.A chill came from his back, followed by bouts of dizziness and severe pain that made his muscles disobedient!
There is no need to look back, because there can only be one person behind Admiral Matthew, the adjutant who has followed him the longest and is like a student.
A gun aimed at the back, a resolute betrayal, and a heart-wrenching wound:
"When did you start calling him the Führer?"
Matthew slumped down on the armchair. He looked at the pale but determined adjutant. Tears welled up in the eyes of the old general.
And the young man also had tears streaming down his face, and he cried like a man of tears, crying out, "Since you let us down... I must find another way to avenge Renlian, for... .everybody!"
Blood was flowing on the floor of the shuttle, and the heaving of Matthew's chest was getting slower and slower.During the communication, the surprised staff officer was calling loudly. He didn't know what happened here. He called the general's name over and over again, asking for a response.
"Quick... run..."
On the land of Hyperion, the divine seal revealed in the sky is showing a slight brilliance.
Its color is scarlet and cannot be seen directly.

Chapter [285] Belated... (today's single update)
(Urgent notice: The horn has noticed that the mental body/iron blood of the Suzheng agency have mixed feelings about the style of this book. The style of painting is too special, so the horn will be adjusted, please rest assured)
This is a peaceful universe.
This place is not paid attention to by anyone, and this is not any navigation area that will be used by people.This area is not marked on the star map of the Renminbi or UEG. This is a purely dark space that is not in the galaxy at all. It has not had its own light source for hundreds of millions of years. It will take years for the light of stars in other galaxies to reach this place. as long as.Just imagine, with so many galaxies bathed in light, how many people would be interested in a dark planet drifting outside the galaxies?
Those who walk in the shadows will be interested and take root here - yes, in the darkness far from civilization, in the name of the Security Service, these planets drifting outside the star system will be the most important place for civilization. outlying outpost.This is the secret base of operations of the Renlian Eagle Dog, and it will also be the surveillance eye for unknown threats, and the mastermind behind the scenes.
The dark planet in front of me is three times the size of the earth, and in the darkness of hundreds of millions of years, countless asteroids have gathered here.A huge star means huge resources, but the People's Federation, which already has countless planets, probably looks down on this planet, so there is only a solitary watchtower, a space station hovering here, and a A secret service ship.
Such days have been going on for a long time. Since the Republican Army and the People's Federation broke up, the forces of the Security Bureau have withdrawn from these hidden bases.Theoretically this place should be abandoned, but someone suddenly came here a month ago.
"If you want me to say, how can we, how can we count on a guy who has only met once?"
In the brightly lit space station, in the circular corridor that uses centrifugal gravity to save energy, four muscular vest brothers are running, sweat dripping from their bodies, and there are still people on the road ahead. Many obstacles, the baffles and fences lifted by the robotic arm were avoided by them by jumping or sliding. At the same time, some small drones shuttled among them. Every time one flew up, the four hunks would light up the drone Instantly "shot down" with a light gun, they're so fast, the score goes up as fast as a rocket.
And still have time to chat.
"The man named Isaac Clark?"
Dom was left behind, and it was always the big Cole who ran first, and then Bud desperately hindered Marcus, who obviously had a modified body to run first.
Hearing Isaac's name, Bud said with disdain: "Please, we didn't come here to wait for him, an ordinary person, what's the big deal."
Dom: "Ordinary people? Hey man, can ordinary people fight their way out of a ship full of necromorphs? I heard he also destroyed a Sigil, which is much better than you two ...If you ask me, I'd rather trade him with Bud and have him join our team."
"What, change with me? Without me, a great technical expert, who will support you next time you perform a mission?"
"I support."
Marcus bumped Bud a bit, then ran second, and Cole had time to look back: "It says on the file, that dude is an engineer, a top-notch kind of-we don't want you Bud !"
"Fart, I'm the strongest engineer, can he make Dieby?"
