Chapter 241, My Legion of the Immortals
The commander of the 31st Airborne Division, Lieutenant Colonel Derek, now feels confused.
He was sure that he should have died before.
At that time, he was directing the artillery unit, firing at the huge evil god. But at that moment, a flash of lightning fell from the sky.
He felt that everything in front of him was illuminated by the light in an instant, and the intense pain lasted for about a moment, and he fell into darkness.
That's supposed to be death, right?
Died on the battlefield, he had no resentment. To be able to die in the battle against an evil god is even more deserved. It was a pity that he didn't see how it would end, but he was confident that under the leadership of the Governor, the warriors of the alliance would win.
It's just that he didn't expect that after people die, there will really be souls and go to heaven?
No...... Wrong.
He looked around, the environment was familiar.
Except for the strange blue 'sun' in the sky with an electric arc and the dark clouds in the sky that had dissipated, the rest of the surface environment seemed to be the place where he and his army fought to the death before.
And next to him, like him, translucent little blue people, there are many, many more. There are quite a few of them, and the faces are familiar to him, so they are simply his soldiers!
What's going on?
"Warriors, look to me."
A familiar voice sounded in everyone's heart.
That's the Governor!
They involuntarily looked up, and saw the figure of the governor floating there under the blue sun, which was not too dazzling.
Many soldiers involuntarily saluted to show respect.
Gu Hang solemnly returned the salute.
Then, he spoke slowly, "I'm sorry to wake you up from your supposed long sleep. ”
"You have come to fight for the safety of the Alliance because of my calling, and you deserve a restful rest."
"But now, our business is not finished, and I still need your strength to continue to shine after death."
"I won't force it, if you don't want to, please say 'long sleep' three times in your heart, and I will send you back to sleep, you are all heroes of the alliance."
"Those who are willing will stay with me and continue to protect our world."
Then, Gu Hang closed his eyes.
He didn't talk nonsense.
If someone really doesn't want to, he can indeed send them back.
It's just that after carefully feeling it, among the more than 3,000 people, he didn't even hear a 'long sleep'.
Then, he opened his eyes with satisfaction and said, "Very good, I'm glad to continue to fight with you." Our first task is to establish our base here, in this place that once belonged to the evil gods, but now belongs to us. ”
"Build a Valhalla, which will be the resting place for you, and all future heroes who fight for the wrath of the Owl and for the well-being of humanity!"
"Now, the one with the highest rank, out of the ranks!"
……
Among these more than 3,000 people, the one with the highest rank is naturally Lieutenant Colonel Derek.
His death, Gu Hang was both surprised and normal.
Normal means that after the battle, when he returned to the real world, he saw the casualty report, mentioning the death of the commander of the 31st Airborne Division. So, it's normal to see Derek here.
Surprised...... The commander of the division commander was unfortunately killed by lightning, which was really unlucky, and Gu Hang was still a little stunned when he first learned about it.
Lieutenant Colonel Derek ...... Oh, now it's a colonel. It is customary for the League to reward meritorious deeds again after the war, and not to leave out the war dead. Those who should be promoted to military ranks and those who should be evaluated for military merit medals will be available, and dying in battle is also a merit in itself - as long as they are not stupid or die in violation of military orders.
It is also meaningful for the sacrificed soldiers to receive military rank promotions and military merit medals. Honorary military rank medals and military merit medals will be returned to the family; Higher ranks and cumulative military merit medals will increase the amount of bereavement benefits and allowances for the families of minors, widows, and elderly parents.
This is another reason for the high morale of the Union army: there is no need to worry that your sacrifice is worthless, the Alliance will remember it all.
Colonel Derek became the head of this unit, and he had a lot to do next.
All the Heroic Spirits come from the dead of the previous battle. Some died in the fight against the storm monsters that the primordial wrath had called; More of them were killed by lightning and thunder while fighting against the Storm Fury Owl himself.
Don't look at that guy being beaten to death in a suffocated manner, but in fact, before he was killed, he called for no less than a thousand thunderbolts.
In addition to beating Gu Hang and being frantically dodged by him, there were many left to be smashed on the army, causing nearly 2,000 deaths.
These dead and wounded came from various units of the Northern Frontier Army, and their arms and formations were very scattered. Kneading and organizing them again is still a test of Colonel Derek's ability.
Of course, Gu Hang believed that he could do a good job.
And when he got the job done with the re-establishment of the organizational system, their first task was to change this barren land and build some buildings here according to Governor Gu's suggestion.
Although it is windy all year round, it doesn't rain, and there is no climate change, and the soldiers who have died in battle and become heroic spirits don't seem to have to need a shelter from the wind and rain. However, Gu Hang still hopes that these heroic spirits can still maintain their awareness of being 'human'.
They have just been transformed into a different form, and they should continue to call themselves 'people'.
If not, what difference would they have from the storm monsters that the primordial rage had called out?
And since we are human beings, even if the conditions in this kingdom of God are not very good, we must try to create conditions for them to live as human beings as possible, so as to smash this anchor point more solidly.
……
After seeing Colonel Derick go to work on what he should be busy with, Gu Hang also began to think about his own affairs.
The main goal of his return to this kingdom of God is to explore how to use this new ability.
Summoning the Heroic Spirit can only be regarded as a bonus.
After completing the upgrade and obtaining the new innate ability of the [True Realm] Essence, Gu Hang sensed that the souls of those who died in battle were still floating here.
They couldn't go back, and Gu Hang couldn't get their souls to leave the real world intact and return to their real bodies. But he can use the control of the real world essence over the kingdom of God to bond and fill their shattered souls with spiritual energy.
To put it bluntly, in essence, these heroic spirits are no different from those storm monsters summoned by the primordial rage, they are all a combination of some broken, dead souls and psionic energy.
It's just that Gu Hang doesn't look like that beast.
What other imagination could the beast have? It will only create a bunch of brainless things like itself.
Gu Hang, on the other hand, retained a series of traces of the original owner's personality and memories as 'people' in those soul fragments to a great extent, and reshaped their bodies with spiritual energy.
Gu Hang will not only give them thought, freedom, and will, but also keep them the future of promotion.
At this point, it is fundamentally different from the previous storm monsters that are brainless and can only be cannon fodder.
Thinking about this, Gu Hang was shocked to realize that these heroic spirits ...... How is it a bit like a demon?
Living in the abyss of hell or the real world; The body is made up of psionic energy; He has his own will but is controlled by himself, a God who is not a god; Future promotions will require you to strengthen yourself by gathering more psionic energy......
Shaking his head, he forcibly threw the thought out.
Don't think about it yet.
Then, he began to think about the way in which the entire kingdom of God could be used.
Now, not only can he easily and casually devote his consciousness to this kingdom of God, but he can also easily tear open a rift in the real world that leads to his kingdom of God.
This can make a big difference.
In battle, the torn rift can allow the Heroic Spirit Legion that he has now to descend on the real world at any time, and appear anywhere on the battlefield without warning as a strange soldier.
The strategic value is enormous.
It is also to tear open the rift in the real world, as long as Gu Hang does this, then the spiritual energy he can use in the real world will reach a very exaggerated level. Especially when using the psionic spells of the Storm series, the power can become extremely exaggerated.
At the moment, his body has reached the point where he can destroy a team of Terminator veterans alone. And once the curtain is torn open and blessed by the power of the Divine Kingdom, then although he himself is not yet at the level of the evil god, after all, his spirituality is still limited, and the power that can be controlled at the same time is limited, but with the blessing of the furious real realm power, his strength will be increased by three or five times, which is normal.
Then, maybe an elite company of Space Marines will be wiped out by him independently; Even in Star Wars, his personal power may affect the outcome of the battle by interfering with or strengthening the Void Shield. Even some small starships, such as patrol ships, can be destroyed by using a super-enhanced storm spell without fully defending them!
After evaluating his full combat power, Gu Hang couldn't help but shudder.
It's kind of scary.
Not to mention these combat things, in other aspects, Gu Hang also thought of some methods.
For example, the 'Storm' divinity he inherited has a strong ability to control and dominate the storm made of psionic energy. So, is there any hope that the problem of waste energy storms that have been raging on the Raging Owl for hundreds of years will be solved?
Directly carry out planet-level climate and geological transformation, the cost is astronomical; However, Gu Hang used second-class divine power to control the intensity of the waste energy storm, repair the environment, and let the waste energy storm, which was essentially the spiritual energy of the real realm penetrate into the real world, but could not be stored because the environment was destroyed, and re-transform into a spiritual gas field that could be used, which may be a way to achieve it.
It's nothing more than that he has to stay for a short time in some places where the waste energy storm is blowing badly.
But it's not too hard, anyway, he has always had a lot of government work on him now. Working in Fuxing City is no different from running a mobile office and staying in one place for a few months, without delaying him to clean up the waste energy storm while working.
This matter is not a blind thought, he plans to go to Gaota Province, the former garbage town, and now Gaota City, to verify the feasibility of this idea.
In addition, Gu Hang also thought of a possible approach.
The matter of tearing the curtain of reality is very big, and Gu Hang will definitely not use it like this until the critical moment. However, if you open a very small crack, or even not open it, just thin the curtain of reality somewhere, so that more spiritual energy can pass through, this movement is much smaller.
Doing so may not allow Gu Hang to be significantly enhanced in the fierce battle, but the spiritual aura that gradually passes through, accumulates over time, and gradually thickens, which will bring an advantage: in a considerable range, individuals with relatively high spiritual attributes among human beings will have more opportunities to awaken spiritual power.
In other words, Gu Hang might have a way to mass-produce psionic beings.
At this moment, he was even beginning to think about what should be the name of a mage group if he wanted to build a mage group after he had enough psionic beings in the future?
To be honest, mass-producing psionics to give more people a chance to awaken psionic energy is a more feasible thing to do than fixing the Waste Energy Storm problem earlier.
Generally speaking, it is not a good thing that there are a lot of psionics.
Psykers are always accompanied by a lot of problems, such as not being able to control their own power well, harming others and themselves; For example, it is easy to become the target of the abyss of hell, and after being tempted by the mind, it will cause a lot of damage, and even be occupied by demons, tearing the curtain of reality and forming a small-scale demonic invasion......
But Gu Hang thought about it for a while and felt that these risks were all controllable for him.
The psionics he cultivated, the source of their enlightenment power was the Storm God Kingdom controlled by Gu Hang. Although it is also in the abyss of hell here, as long as Gu Hang himself doesn't want to, he won't be able to make any big news such as tempting the mind, being occupied by demons, and tearing the curtain of reality.
As for the remaining question of 'how to control the psionic energy so as not to hurt yourself or others', it can be solved.
"If you think about it this way, I might have to establish a psionic academy before I start a mage group? It's called a magic school...... Or call it Hogwarts? ”
Gu Hang was amusing himself.
He was in a good mood, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to the blue sun in the sky.
His perspective gradually zoomed out, and soon encompassed the entire kingdom of God.
It was still desolate, but in Gu Hang's eyes, it seemed to see a vibrant future.
However, this process of pulling away has not ended.
Soon, what he saw was more than just the Storm God Kingdom. A larger field appeared in his perspective.
Beyond this Storm God Kingdom, shrouded in the light of the blue sun, was a vast expanse of chaos. Countless colors are constantly tumbling and entangled in this space. The powers of those various attributes were entangled with each other, forming an incomparably chaotic and distorted scene.
At first glance, it was quite beautiful, but at first glance, this completely disordered sense of chaos made him faintly dizzy and disgusting.
Looking further away, Gu Hang seemed to see that in the midst of the endless chaos, there were five huge areas that were particularly distinct.
But just at this glance, he suddenly felt that his already very powerful spirituality gave him a fierce warning.
He didn't hesitate to cut off the view, but the next moment, a sharp headache still found him.
