Chapter 170: Demigods of the Old Times
"Incredible......
"Are you really awake?"
“......”
In my ears, there was a faint voice of a group of people exclaiming, and the eyelids were very heavy and difficult to open.
Who am I......
The chaotic brain is still a mess and unable to think, but driven by some instinct, the chaotic mind is reorganized, born, operated, trained, and fought...... All kinds of past are sorted out one by one.
"I'm ...... Morogara. ”
A glimmer of realisation sprung up in my heart, and the brain, which had been severely damaged over the years, began to repair itself.
In the year 20163 of the Galactic calendar, the 14th galactic year of the discovery of the space serpent, in the 5th year of the death of General Tilloan.
Because of the phrase "in the eyes of that serpent...... If there is a ......", on the orders of the Chief Science Director of the Second Republic, the psionic warrior Morogaro led the first task force to explore the Space Serpent.
However, in the process, the first task force was entangled by the many strange lifeforms next to the space serpent's body, and more than half of the members died. Morogala made a quick decision and ordered the remaining members to flee in the hope that someone would survive.
After that, Moroghara fell into a deep sleep.
He thought he was dead, but he seemed to have survived?
When he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a number of very different faces surrounding him.
The faces of the men, women, and children were either surprised, confused, or curious, and to Morogara's surprise, these people seemed to be dressed in silk and linen, primitive and rudimentary, not at all like interstellar humans.
"Fallen humans on a primordial planet?"
In the process of human expansion between the stars, many planets are inhabited by human beings. But with the 6,000-year war, a large number of administrative planets fell into a power vacuum, lost space supply lines, and many of the planets lacking industry were simply unable to sustain their existing lives. On those highly prosperous planets, famine, disease, death, and even some have fallen back to the age of cold weapons and even primitive tribes.
Although both the First Empire and the Second Republic are working to unify humanity after the First Empire ended the Six Thousand Years War, there are still a large number of planets that are not under control.
Did you fall to a primordial planet for unknown reasons?
Morogaro pondered calmly.
If that's really the case...... Although it was a bit troublesome, with the power of the psionic warrior, he should be able to unify this marginal planet within half a year and send a message to space for the Second Republic to send someone to pick him up.
"Wow! he opened his eyes......"
"His eyes are so pretty......"
"Wait, the shrine maiden-sama is here. ”
In the noise, the crowd parted tacitly, revealing a girl with a young face and a far more gorgeous dress than the others.
And the moment he looked at her, Mo Luogara felt a rare surprise, it didn't matter what she looked like, although the girl looked very cute, but there were more cute girls, and the psionic warriors who had lived for more than a thousand years were not surprised because of their appearance.
What really surprised Morogarao was that the girl had a Space Fleet communicator around her neck.
The girl tilted her head, a little uncertain, and asked.
"Are you...... The demigods of the Empire?"
Empire? What is that?
Morogara's heart was full of doubts.
......
The Second Republic is dead.
The girl named Hase Tankage struggled to make a sad expression, and then told Morakara the news that was two thousand years late.
It is now the year 22049 of the galactic calendar, nearly two thousand years have passed since the time of Morogara's departure, which is the year 548 of the last calendar. About 1,500 years after Morogara's departure, five hundred years ago, the Second Republic was unable to solve the Eater of the World, and eventually the Discontent established the Third Reich and overthrew the Second Republic.
And this is not a primordial planet, but on the back of the space serpent in the mouth of Morogara.
"Uh......h You may have been floating beside the Serpent Father for too long and only recently fell to the ground?"
The girl clutched her head in distress and guessed.
According to the girl, she found him in the nearby jungle when she turned into a half-stone fossil, almost making her think that she was dead, but the faint psionic ability made her perceive that the humanoid fossil seemed to be alive.
In other words, Morogala was actually picked up by a maiden from the wild.
Morogaro's expression was blank, but beneath his calm exterior was already a dark tide.
The Second Republic is dead.
For a moment, even psionic warriors could hardly withstand this kind of impact.
"However, many parts of the empire still follow the system of the second republic, don't worry, you are a demigod after all, and the empire still treats demigods like you very favorably. ”
As if sensing Morogara's confusion, the girl patted her flat chest and said confidently.
Demigods.
In fact, in the Second Republic era, many interstellar humans named psionic warriors as "demigods".
[A demigod who is as powerful as a god, more like a god than a man, and walks among the stars.] 】
There may be only one demigod in every thousand administrative stars and hundreds of billions of human beings, and on many planets, psionic warriors are indeed worshipped as gods, but this title has never become official, but it seems that for this Third Reich, psionic warriors have some special meaning.
"The communicator around my neck can reach the Empire's fleet, but ...... Whether or not you want to contact the empire or not, the choice is still up to you. ”
The girl said seriously.
Although she looks very immature, and even when she puts on a serious face, she is still cute, but the girl also understands that this decision may determine the future fate of Morogara, and such a thing is not something that a girl can decide, and she must make her own choice.
Morogalor was silent for a moment.
"Send a signal. ”
And for ten days waiting for the arrival of the fleet, Morogarau will also stay here temporarily, while the girl volunteers to be his guide.
......
Sunny day.
In the wild, the sun is shining, the falling flowers are colorful, there are small flowers everywhere, and a little breath, there is a faint fragrance into the nose.
Unlike the carefree girl beside him, Morogala was carefully observing, even after staying here for a few days, he still felt incredible, how could there be life on the back of that space serpent, and even so suitable for human habitation?
Raising his head, the sun above him moved slowly.
Clear skies, green meadows, blooming prosperity, and villages not far away...... Everything is too normal, but it's also because it's too abnormal.
How could this be so comfortable on the back of that giant serpent?
Looking overhead, the pupils comparable to astronomical telescopes shrank slightly, but through that layer of sky, those strange monsters that were faintly visible emerged. Those strange monsters that Morogara had seen before, the same monsters that caused more than half of the psionic warrior team to be killed or injured.
Although I was reluctant to admit it, all indications were that this was indeed the back of the space serpent.
"It's safe because it's between the scales of the Serpent Father, and those dark psionic creatures can't get here. As for the sun...... It seems to be the leftover scraps of the snake father, which will revolve around the snake father, and the sun will rise and set. ”
The girl whispered answers to Morogara's questions.
Looking up at the movement of the sky unchanged, Morogala spoke.
"It must have taken a lot of effort to find the first people here. ”
"Hmph, of course. ”
The girl looked up triumphantly, pride written all over her face.
"I heard that the two ancestors searched for a long time to find this safe place. In addition, I will tell you secretly, in fact, I am a descendant of those two ancestors. ”
Although it seems to have a mysterious tone of "I don't tell ordinary people", the little face that was about to come to Morogara was clearly full of words "Surprised, surprised, sorry".
However, Morogaro did not cater to her interests.
Ancestors......
With a slight movement in his heart, the warrior remembered the two stone statues of a man and a woman in the center of the village, the male stone statue had obvious signs of mechanical transformation and a serious expression, and the other looked gentle and amiable with a smile on his lips.
I didn't understand it before, but it seems that these are these two stone statues.
Is the girl in front of you the offspring of those two people?
"But it's precisely because it's too close to the Father of the Serpent that many technological creations can't be used here, and even the psionic energy has weakened a lot, so everyone chooses to live such a life...... I've heard that the psionic energy of the people in the world is so strong that they don't even need to speak, is it true?"
The girl's eyes widened, and she asked with some curiosity.
Morogaro's expression remained unchanged, except for a nod.
From the very beginning, he realized that there was an invisible oppression in this small world, and the spiritual energy of everyone, including the girl, was weak, and they were all communicating with each other in words.
But until now, there was actually a question in Morogara's mind.
"Hase Tankage, why do the people in the village call you a shrine maiden?"
Finally, the warrior asked.
Many parts of the village are different from interstellar humans, which is not surprising considering that they are on the backs of space serpents and have been isolated from the outside world for a long time. But what puzzled Morogala the most was that a girl who was obviously still very immature was feared by everyone, and even the communicator to communicate with the outside world was hung around her neck......
Why?
He even suspected that this girl was actually pretending to be stupid, but in fact she was behind the scenes of the city government in her heart, and all her stupid behavior was to lower his vigilance. Of course, in the end, he dispelled this suspicion, because he confirmed that this girl was really just a simple fool, and with her IQ, she couldn't be behind it.
It was precisely because of the fact that Morogara, who had let down his vigilance, finally opened his mouth to ask this question.
The girl was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and her always energetic face showed a little uneasiness, which Morogara had never seen in her.
In his senses, the girl had always been as bright and energetic as the sun, and he could not think of anything that would make her show such a gloomy look.
After hesitating for a moment, the girl spoke.
"Actually, in the village, ......"
But before he could finish speaking, Morakala suddenly raised his head, and the girl stopped talking, and the two of them looked at the sky together. In the clouds, accompanied by the tumbling sea of clouds, the towering sky city slowly revealed its true face, like the kingdom of the gods.
The battleships of the Third Reich appeared.
