……

Two weeks later.

The edge of the maelstrom, Krako's system.

The gravitational field in the galaxy changed, and then a dimensional rift appeared in the orbit of the demon world, from which an entire fleet of Otlama sailed.

Killiman himself and all the top echelons of the fleet were on the Glory of Maculag.

Through the portholes, Killiman could see his fleet close to the demon world.

It was almost attached to the eerie scarlet planet that was blackened and looked like eyes.

The massive husks of the Glory of Macullag and the Friendship caused anomalies on the planets, but now everything is normal, and it can be seen that the laws of physics here in the Maelstrom do not stabilize the subspace side.

"The Dimension Engine is in good condition."

"Recharging in progress."

"We'll leave the maelstrom in three minutes."

A series of routine reports rang out from the bridge.

Although he was in the maelstrom at this time, the atmosphere in the bridge was not solemn, and everyone was happy, including Grayfax, who was not very happy to ride the dimensional engine ship.

There was chaos in the maelstrom, and it was difficult to get out of the maelstrom without a guide, but now thanks to the dimensional engine, the entire fleet jumped directly from one side of the maelstrom to the other close to the edge.

It only takes another three minutes to get out of the maelstrom completely, and the next road to Terra is unobstructed.

"The Tyrone stuff really works, we got here sooner than expected, saving at least a few months." The captain walked up to Killiman and reported to him.

At this time, the navigator is not there, and this captain can tell the truth without being held back by human feelings.

"Scan the world." Killiman looked out the porthole at the demonic world.

"Bird reader or scanner?"

"Here's the maelstrom, use both."

After a few words of conversation, the captain immediately ordered the use of the orniths and scanners.

The Flare of Macurag and the Friendship simultaneously unleashed probe waves into the demonic world below.

The results of the scanner showed that the subspace energy of this world was overwhelming, and there were some people in the concept of empire on it, no mutated and tainted kinds, but only a handful.

The results returned by the Bird Divination showed that the demon world was dead silent, but the scan readings for concepts such as subspace energy were not very high, since this was the edge of the maelstrom rather than the center of the maelstrom.

"The Dimension Engine is ready." A crew member reported loudly.

However, instead of immediately ordering to leave, Kiliman ordered the USS Friendship to conduct a deep scan of a fixed area of the demonic world.

The Mechanic Priest who controls the industrial ship immediately adjusts the data from the scanner unit and adjusts it to command scan mode.

Another probe wave was released, and a holographic projection appeared in the center of the bridge.

The hologram device is rapidly modeling data from an industrial ship, showing a picture of an area on the surface.

A group of people are struggling to hold on to a fortress on the planet's surface that has been blasted out of several holes.

Outside the fortress is an army of countless mutants and freaks.

This demon world does not have a high level of technology, it seemed to be a feudal world before, and the soldiers here are not laser guns in their hands, but cold weapons and a small number of flintlock guns.

Killiman read the readings of the bird divination again, and judged that the maelstrom was spreading outward, and that this demonic world was normal a week ago.

"We should leave, sir." The captain said.

Kiriman nodded, it was indeed time to go.

There are still many corrupted worlds like this, and there are many people who are suffering, and the Otrama fleet is not out to fight, and should not stay here too long.

But just as Killiman was about to order the Dimensional Engine to be activated, many images popped into his mind.

The demon world has become a living hell, where the survivors live a life that is inferior to that of pigs and dogs, either enslaved mutants or gathered to rebel, but this rebellion often lasted less than a day.

As far as the original brains and insights could imagine, all the tragic events continued to happen every minute.

Kiriman doesn't need to send a scout force to check on it, and he can deduce the general situation of the demon world.

At the same time, Kiliman's heart was questioning him.

"You want to save the empire? But you can't even help someone close at hand, and what you say and want to do sounds grandiose, but it may be empty talk for individual human beings. ”

"The people who leave here will die quickly, they don't think that just a few minutes ago, two fleets of the size of the star sector had just arrived in the galaxy, and they only needed to send a combat team to kill all the enemies armed with cold weapons, or kill a bloody way to save the survivors."

In just two seconds, the demigod mind of the original body made him think a lot.

The current state of the empire, the trip to Terra, the survivors close at hand......

Killiman was tormented by his own psyche and began to feel anxious and tormented.

At the moment, it is no longer a question of saving or not saving the survivors, it is being added by Killiman and linked to his own responsibility.

Killiman couldn't even determine if his mind was questioning him, or if he was under the influence of psionic energy in the Maelstrom area...... When he thinks it's the latter, he feels like he's running away and even starts to wonder if he's really responsible, or if he's just hypocrisy to maintain the image of a savior in the eyes of others.

The brain of the original body is like a computer, and the thinking of whether to save people is like a calculation program, which always loops in if and eles statements.

"Perhaps, I'm under psionic influence?"

"No, no, no, it's an escape from blaming the problem on nothing! Am I going to abandon my responsibilities? Is it in my nature to be hypocritical? ”

Kiriman spends three seconds in a series of contemplations.

"Your Excellency?" The captain called softly to Kiliman.

"Wait, send a combat team to rescue the survivors on the planet." Killiman ordered.

The captain wanted to persuade him, but considering that the original body was definitely more than he thought, he immediately went to implement it.

An entire combat team was teleported to the surface, wearing Tyrone teleportation protection and carrying massive teleportation beacons, directly inside the castle-like fortress on the ground.

Holograms show that the battle has begun, and the fragile defenses of the weak survivor groups in the castle are instantly crushed, and the mutants slaughter into the castle.

But the appearance of the battle squad changed everything, as they easily suppressed the mutant onslaught, covering the survivors to gather together and use teleportation beacons.

After observing the battle throughout, Kiliman relaxed a little and his anxiety was eased.

Thinking back to the hesitation when deciding whether to save someone, I even began to suspect myself of hypocrisy...... It's just thinking too much, in fact, there is no need to dwell on it, it's just a matter of effort.

But although the entanglement just now was unnecessary, it also made Killiman doubt himself, and the matter of saving people was infinitely increased in his heart, even to the point of proving whether it was hypocrisy, and the matter was no longer a simple matter of whether to save people, and even became a kind of knot.

"Make sure every one of them is alive, and bring them to me." Kiriman commanded his battle squad.

The battle team and survivors then descended on the Glory of Macurag.

From the time it entered the bridge, the whole process took one minute and forty-three seconds.

Highly efficient.

Satisfied, Killiman stood up and gave the captain the order: "Activate the Dimensional Engine and sail out of the Maelstrom!" ”

"Yes, sir." The captain immediately carried out Kiliman's orders.

The entire fleet's dimension engines were enabled one after the other.

Since it is not a single ship, the Dimension Engines must be allowed to resonate to avoid the chance of teleporting to the target location one after the other and then merging together.
