Chapter 1243: Hunting the Gods
Your Majesty, please give me a full explanation of why my engagement to Princess Astya was dissolved? ”
In the brilliant, bright and neat inverted pyramid-shaped hall, a man sitting on the upper middle floor asked the woman sitting at the top, with great anger in his tone.
Although he is a duke of the Empire, civilization has developed to the point where it has long been forbidden for private individuals to control the armed forces that can affect the entire civilization.
So although his identity seems to be noble, in fact, there is no strong force to support him at all, he is just a fictitious nobleman.
So in order to marry the most prestigious princess of the royal family, he ceded a large number of commercial resources controlled by the family to the outside world, in exchange for support or the other party did not compete, but now all his efforts have come to naught.
"Duke Vijay Kumar, as an individual, I apologize for this. But as the Empress, I can tell you very clearly that your marriage to Princess Astya must be dissolved, and this is related to the survival and continuation of our civilization. ”
"What is at stake in the survival of civilization?"
Hearing this, the high-level civilized officials who were summoned by the empress suddenly became interested, she originally thought that she was attending this emergency meeting today, just to join in the fun and listen to gossip, but she didn't expect that the relationship was so important, they didn't think that the empress would joke on such an occasion.
"Oh, Your Majesty, I really don't know how the survival of our civilization can be related to my engagement with Princess Astia? ”
"Your Royal Highness, it is true that you do not have such influence, but Princess Astya does. ”
At this time, the minister Remy Rourke, who was seated at the head of the empress, replied with a serious face, as he was the only person who had witnessed the power of the god who had come without telling him, and he knew the necessity of breaking the marriage contract.
"Your Highness Princess? What the hell are you talking about? I admit that Princess Astya has a peerless appearance like no other in the world, but can this affect the rise and fall of our civilization?
The marriage contract, which I thought was a foregone conclusion, was suddenly dissolved, and no one could accept such a result. Even the duke, who was in a high position and had a lot of self-cultivation, was like this, and at this time he was questioning the empress loudly in a bit of a gaffe.
"Your Excellency, I can understand your feelings. But I would like to ask, don't you think that Princess Ashitia's face is beyond the world?"
"What do you want to say?" The Duke looked at the minister with cold eyes, and as soon as the news of his marriage to the princess was dissolved, in just a few days, he went from being the envy of all men in the empire to a joke. This is a multiple blow to his spirit and reputation.
"Since our civilization started the genetic repair program, there are no more defects inherited from our ancestors in our bloodline, everyone has a flawless body and face, and ugliness has nothing to do with us.
Even so, everyone is still not the same level of perfection, like Princess Astia, but don't you think she is too perfect? It's so perfect that it's not real, it's like a dream.
And now everything has an answer, the reason why Princess Astia is so perfect is because her essence is not a person of the light at all, she is the reincarnation of a great being, a shell shaped, so she is so perfect. ”
"Ridiculous, that's what you're giving me? Are you fooling me?"
"We don't have to fool you, you're just a duke, and you're nothing compared to civilization as a whole. ”
"A reincarnation of a great being, even if you object to my marriage contract with Astya, you have to come up with a reasonable, convincing reason. ”
"Duke Vijay Kumar, do you know the trembling of the imperial capital half a month ago?"
"Didn't the official announcement say that a main engine was damaged and the maintenance department did not replace it in time?"
"It's an excuse to deal with citizens, and the truth is that a presence who comes out of nowhere shows us his power. ”
"How is this possible?"
"What kind of existence can invade the core of our civilization? and make the imperial capital tremble?"
The empress's words shook the entire civilization and led to a fierce quarrel, most of whom questioned the veracity of the matter.
"If you don't believe this, then do you remember the sun that turned night into day that night? That is the true power of the Great Being, the power that can be compared to the sun. ”
"A great being who has come suddenly, is his request to break my engagement with Princess Astya?" the Duke questioned, unwilling emotions churning in his heart.
"That's right, he claimed that Princess Astya was the reincarnation of his wife, so in order to avoid conflict, I immediately asked Minister Remy Locke to announce the dissolution of the marriage. The empress said calmly, her eyes full of indifference.
As the supreme leader, she will abandon all her emotions, not let personal emotions dictate her judgment, and make the most civilized choices possible.
"That's why?"
"Isn't that enough? It is absolutely worth the small price to appease a great being like a god, even if he asks for your life to appease his anger, and I will not refuse. ”
"You ......" the Duke raised his head and stared at the Empress with an angry expression, and it was hard to suppress negative emotions when someone told you that you would be treated as a victim.
"And as it turned out, my decision was correct, and we have won the favor of the Great Being, who has allied with us and will shelter our civilization in the difficult years ahead. ”
"Your Majesty, please elaborate on this matter. ”
......
"Report to me the results of your expedition, Commander Zomali. With a gentle smile, Muria looked at the dejected Miko in front of her.
"Yes. Some of the second ancestors, who couldn't accept the facts, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in their hearts and began to report according to the script......
"Well, there are seven worlds that you believe have a great probability of having gods, why are they classified as extremely dangerous in your investigation report, and there are eight worlds that are forbidden to enter, and what is in the only world that you have not reported to me? ”
"Report, I don't know!"
"I don't know what that means?" Muria raised an eyebrow.
"Because we don't know anything about the world, all the teams that went in to investigate, almost instantaneously, a fleet lost contact and didn't send back any useful information.
And this kind of situation has not happened in those worlds where there is a high probability of the existence of gods, and this is a world where the advance fleet has not detected any information so far. ”
"I see," Muriyah suddenly became interested, "your most important task now is to follow the trail of God, and then report back to me as soon as possible. As for this world, you don't have to worry about it, I'm in charge. ”
"Isn't your student a god, why are you looking for a god?" asked Arena with great interest as the fleet commander left.
"Is my student one of my own? Can I do anything to him?" said Muria, rubbing her forehead, a little helplessly. Even if you can break through the moral line, you may not be able to please your own students.
In a short period of time, he has changed from an ordinary person to an earth god whose position as a true god is within reach, such a change is really incredible, although there are his own efforts in it, but external influence is essential. Jiuli is the protagonist of the times and has extraordinary fortune.
"You can't do it to Jiuli, wait, you want to attack other gods?" Arena looked at Muria with a look of horror.
"Of course, otherwise what do you think I, and you, are here for?" Muria replied in a tone of course.
The reason why their family took a great risk to be reincarnated into the big world was not to be able to obtain resources to enhance their own strength.
And for the resources that are useful for epics, the easiest to find is naturally the gods, every true god is the elite of the world, if you can kill a true god, the benefits you can get are extremely considerable.
However, although God is the easiest resource to find, such resources are not easy to obtain, or they are the most difficult resources to obtain. If you are not careful, you will be killed. The roles of the hunter and the prey can easily be reversed.
"You want to hunt the gods!" Arena's expression could not be described as wonderful.
"It's not just me, it's you. Muria stared at Arena, or more accurately, at the dragon king Atrice who was sleeping in his body.
He was very suspicious that his mother had woken up, but because of his presence, she did not have any sense of crisis, and because she was lazy by nature, she simply pretended to be asleep.
Such suspicions are not without basis, because from the time she met Arena to the present, Muria has traveled the world with her, and she has seen many wonders and strange scenes, and she has been frightened by what she has seen quite a few times.
To be reasonable, with so much stimulation, the chances of Jin Longniang waking up are very high. But today's Arena is still like an ordinary little girl, without any brilliance.
"We all come here to advance to higher realms, and hunting gods is the easiest way to do this, and of course, the most dangerous way. ”
"This ...... I'm not involved. ”
"Of course you don't have to be involved, but my mother, she must be involved in the hunt for the gods. ”
