Chapter 1,336 Various Recognitions...

The dark and cold space, the fragmented battleships, and the occasional flash of light streaking across the darkness were the last war zones where sporadic fighting was taking place. The dark planet under our feet has completely collapsed, and not even the dark red core is left. The Glory Starship, which was originally an aerial creation, did not leave any residue after its collapse. It dissipated into the cold reality like a nightmare. , it is really unimaginable that just a few minutes ago, there was a space entity here with a diameter of several thousand kilometers and composed of broken star debris.

Harlan was wearing a tattered military uniform, and the wounds on his body had not yet healed. He just stood in the air, looking at the scene in space with a calm expression. His eyes passed through hundreds of thousands of kilometers of positions, looking at his glory and power. Eighty percent of the army is now reduced to debris. The broken starship wreckage and the flash of distant war zones were reflected in his dark eyes. The old emperor shrugged: "So, it ended like this."

"Sorry, we had to eliminate most of them," Sandora replied in the mental connection. She rarely expressed apologies to others, but facing this former colleague who was nearly annihilated by the new empire, she had no choice but to Without saying sorry, "Xiling soldiers are almost impossible to capture. The number of soldiers we can successfully capture and reverse the transformation each time is extremely limited. I personally hope to save the minds of more compatriots, but this is unrealistic."

"It doesn't matter. Being purified by nether energy is a relief for them," Harlan said very calmly. "I have many questions - what did you do, why did I suddenly 'recover', and how did you escape the past?" That disaster...and what happened to that beating I just received, it seems that I really have a lot to understand."

When Harlan mentioned "how to escape the disaster that year," Shandora showed a clearly disappointed look: she originally hoped to learn more information about the catastrophe and revenge from Harlan. The truth about the army being blocked in another world by a "barrier", but now it seems that Harlan's understanding of this may be limited. After a while. Shandora smiled in relief: "The fallen apostles in the eyes of the New Empire have always been mysterious and mysterious. There are a lot of unknown secrets. It seems that the New Empire is the same in your eyes. We will explain it clearly to you, and I It is recommended that you transfer your memory to another place now. According to past experience, the fallen apostle will experience partial memory loss for a period of time after being reversed and transformed. The reason is unknown, but it seems that a certain adult behind you is responsible for everyone. The fallen apostle took action."

Harlan was stunned for a moment, and then a light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he had begun to check his memory bank. However, no matter how much we back up the memory bank, it can only save a small amount of money. We have tried it many times and are very clear about the rules in this regard. The fallen apostles will quickly lose the detailed memory of their service under "that Lord" after being "recovered". This is very fast at the beginning, taking only a few tenths of a second to complete. Then the speed slowed down drastically until it ended a few days later, and the most critical core issues: the roster of fallen apostles, military strength, the territory map of the Abyss Empire and other information were deleted in the first few tenths of a second. Bellavilla, Carter Carlo and others have not been able to restore this part of the data, indicating that this kind of deletion was carried out at the bottom of the system and there is no room for recovery.

I looked at Harlan a little apologetically. After all, I just beat someone up: Although there was a reason for that, I always felt a little bit guilty. To be honest, I felt that I was the villain later: "What, I just got high. I didn't notice that you were already Wake up..."

"Is my recovery really related to what you did just now?" Harlan was backing up his memory bank while focusing on me. Today is the first time he and I have face-to-face contact, but we have already talked about it before. Several confrontations without encounters: each confrontation is thrilling. Rivers of blood flow, and I don’t call myself a hero. But I do feel a bit sympathetic to this Harlan, and I guess he feels the same, "It's really weird, I don't understand why you have to do that to wake up the contaminated apostle. It's a battle, it has no lethality at all. You seem to I didn’t intend to hurt anyone at all, but more like... causing trouble."

I thought to myself that when I dueled with a certain female gangster, the two of them would have competed in meditation, and the famous stunts of the third person in the void would not have been solidified into a set of tortoise boxing, but I guess Harlan didn't understand this allusion. , so I could only smile apologetically: "The reason is very complicated. Anyway, for a guy like you who is seriously polluted and has strong mental power, this is the only trick I can use. But next time I will pay attention to the patient's expression." ——I really didn’t see that you were awake just now…”

Harlan was silent. The psychologically shocking scene just now was still lingering in his mind. I felt that I shouldn't mention it, so I quickly changed the topic: "There is also better news. Zadom has been killed." Captured.”

Zadom, the number one general in Harlan's army - is probably equivalent to the value of Pandora to the emperor. The difference between the two is that Zadom is obviously not the one who throws his thinking circuit outside. He is wise and brave. The best of both worlds. I believe that Haran must have great regard for Zadom. The most trusted person around every Xiling Emperor is undoubtedly his own general. There is no exception in the history of the empire.

For Harlan now, the fact that his general is still alive is undoubtedly the most exciting good news.

In fact, when Shandora and I came to arrest Harlan, another group of people went to deal with Zadom. We were not worried about the latter running away, because no Xiling general could abandon his The emperor fled alone. The five people responsible for capturing Zadom are the Protoss sliver group and Xiaoxue. The first five are 1t, 2t, 3t, 4t and dps (Bingtis - although she is really good at taunting, she is still a dps). That was a small map. These six people had a strong lineup, especially Bingtis's firepower was definitely enough to defeat Zadom, so their capture went very smoothly. In addition, since Xiaoxue also inherited my mantle, Zadom's reverse transformation was relatively smooth.

——What I mean is that Xiaoxue did not encounter much resistance when she was punching sandbags. According to the news from Bingtis, they hung Zadom and beat him, which was even more inhumane than Sandora and I.

Harlan had an overjoyed look on his face. It seems that he did not expect that there would be leader-level generals arrested besides himself at first: The difficulty of capturing a leader-level apostle alive is obvious: "You must have spent a lot of effort, Zhan Dom is very powerful."

"The sneak attack was a trick, and a sap was stabbed in the back. Finally, a female gangster from our side was sent to disguise herself as an abyssal creature that broke in and distracted Zadom," I recalled what Bingtis had just passed on to me. "Battle Report", "Overall it went very smoothly."

Harlan: "..."

The last sporadic fighting finally ended, and the service echelon began to deal with the battlefield. Some people may think that this kind of space war does not need to clean up the battlefield. Anyway, the universe is so big, and space debris is not in the orbit of one's own planet - this kind of thinking It is very undesirable. The battlefield where the emperor and the fallen apostles are fighting must be cleaned up later. The debris floating here is either filled with psionic energy or has abyssal reaction left in it. These things are destructive to the world, especially the latter. If an ignorant alien race accidentally ran into this world and picked up a piece of battleship wreckage with abyssal reaction left in it, the consequences would be even more disastrous. We have fully seen the trouble caused by littering non-burnable garbage everywhere in the old empire, and now of course we will try our best to avoid similar "historical problems". Cleaning up the battlefield doesn't necessarily mean recovering all the debris here. But at least special techniques must be used to neutralize the psionic energy or abyss attached to those things, so that what is left are just metal fragments, and it is not a big problem to leave them alone.

The wreckage-strewn scene in my sight made me feel a little pained. I really hope that Harlan can still open up and reset the warring parties - but it's impossible to think about it. Nothing is perfect. First of all. Not to mention that Harlan's glorious form has been destroyed. Even if he can open it up, the result is probably that everyone will have to fight again, and the result will not be any better than now.

"Are you ready to meet your new friends?" After accompanying Harlan in space to remember the heroes who died in the war, I invited the latter. But soon my eyes fell on the brutal injuries on the other party's body, "Um... why don't you take care of this injury first?"

Harlan smiled nonchalantly: "If you can't die, let's just leave him alone for now. It's normal to come off the battlefield with some injuries."

I looked through the gaping hole in Harlan's chest into space. I feel cold sweat on my forehead. God knows what kind of injury is serious in this guy's eyes. However, the opponent's injury was caused by Sandora's Abyss Claw and my Void Power. It is really troublesome to recover. Seeing that he really seems to be fine (Harlan's standard: if he can't die temporarily, he is fine) ), I won’t mention it anymore and will send him to the repair warehouse when I get back.

We waited for a while and confirmed that Haran's mental state has been completely stable - everyone should still remember that the fallen apostle will be mentally unstable for a period of time after he was reversed, although Haran has always seemed normal. , but this is because his normal personality is extremely firm, but his mental instability still exists - and then returned to the bridge of the Imperial Admiral.

The command hall is still busy. Commanders at all levels are counting the battle losses of various units and assigning post-war damage control tasks. Suddenly returning from the dark and silent space to this warm and bright place, I can't help but take a deep breath: although breathing is not necessary Yes, but after being a human being for more than twenty years, I am still used to panting.

Harlan seemed to feel that what he had experienced for more than an hour was still a bit incredible. He blinked and looked at the command center of the Imperial Army: "It is unimaginable that we were enemies not long ago, but now I am standing in your command center. ."

Shandora said calmly: "After the fall of the empire, the development of many things has deviated from the normal track. Many things have never been thought of by us, such as guns and guns on the battlefield. By the way, I still remember what you just said. …”

Harlan's expression suddenly became particularly subtle. I still remember his words: "Look at what you look like now! You are just like all of us!" This was definitely a powerful taunt to Sandora.

"Shandora is more concerned about her abyssal side," I sent a sympathetic look to Harlan, "I don't hit people in the face and scold them, but I don't expose their shortcomings. What you just said is so unnecessary..."

"Forget it," Sandora suddenly waved her hand, "Actually, I don't really care - since you have to go to the repair warehouse to lie down for at least a week, just pretend that nothing happened. Just like everyone else, What you did during the period of corruption will end with the battle just now, and you can start over. A small number of members of the new empire are former fallen apostles who have been reversed. I will explain this matter after you recover from your injuries. You will see many old friends and look forward to your new life."

Harlan's angular and extremely serious face finally showed a complex smile. He knew how much weight was behind the so-called "write off" and "start over", so he couldn't say too many emotional words. He just said to me and Sandora nodded. At this time, the gate behind the officer's platform suddenly opened, and a small group of people came in noisily. The one who walked at the front was Bingtis, who had the loudest voice. She finally put away her burnt wings and was now following. Ilson next to me boasted: "I told you so. I am an actor. Just now Zadom almost had to fight side by side with me..."

Behind Bingtis was a tall, muscular middle-aged man wearing the black military uniform of a fallen apostle, with a somewhat slumped look on his face. When he heard Bingtis' bragging, his expression was uncertain. I couldn't help but interjected: "Then you used something to knock me down - what did you use?"

Bingtis took out a piece of astronomical stone brick, and a large piece of it was already dented in the middle: "My mother's bricks are perfect, even the old monsters from the Pantheon can't hide within five meters, you Still young - Hey, Chen, we are back, let me introduce you. This is Zadom, this is the brick that smashed Zadom just now."

This is the first time I have ever seen someone introducing a brick in her hand to someone. No matter how serious this female gangster is, she will have a fetish for bricks, right?

"Your Majesty?!" Zadom, who was a little downcast, suddenly looked up and saw Harlan standing not far in front of him, and immediately straightened his body. After performing a military salute, his aura instantly changed back to that of a powerful and brave general, "Zadom reports to you!"

"Glad to see you're alive—dismissed, General."

Xiaoxue looked at him with a strange expression for a long time. Only then did he stroll up and say hello to Harlan: "Ahem. Long time no see, Uncle Harlan, long time no see in every sense of the word..."

Those of us who knew Xiaoxue's origins were stunned for a moment, and then we had to figure out a lot of things. Harlan was a little stunned, but he quickly recognized Xiaoxue: "You... you were the one we copied at that time... "

"I'm taking away a fleet from you," Xiaoxue's eyes rolled around. "I have to say thank you. If you hadn't tried to copy my dad, I really couldn't have found a more suitable entry point in time and space."

"Your father?" Harlan turned around confused, "What is going on? I remember this girl..."

"She is my daughter, my biological daughter." I felt my head slowly swell. Explaining this question really tests one's logical ability. "You tried to copy me, but what you created was actually my biological daughter."

"I know about the clone project. This cunning girl -" Harlan didn't know whether he was crying or laughing. He pointed at Xiaoxue, "She ran out of the clone experimental cabin with the power of the void in her body." The residual reaction and cooperation. We always thought that the copying plan was successful, but she deceived everyone and finally ran away with one of my fleets. I still can’t figure out how you did it! Copying the Void The biological plan is airtight, but you actually placed your own daughter in the most closely guarded laboratory?"

"I didn't arrange her to go in," I explained Xiaoxue's identity in a dumbfounded voice. "She arranged it herself - you can call her Xiaoxue. In the normal timeline, she is not born yet. She is Projected from the future.”

"Reverse time and space?" Harlan looked at Xiaoxue in disbelief, "This is impossible. The continuity of time only makes sense in a closed universe. For the void, each world has its own time reference system. There is no such thing as reversing time across the void... There is no such thing as a 'timeline' on the void level. How on earth did she..."

Xiaoxue curled her lips and muttered: "Uncle Harlan, you are left-handed. You have obsessive-compulsive disorder. You must take the same number of steps with your left and right feet every day. In addition, you like to eat the waterless rice balls made by Aunt Sylvia." cake."

Everyone at the scene opened their mouths to express surprise. Harlan was stunned for a while: "The first two are correct, but what is the waterless round cake? Who is Sylvia?"

"Oh, that's in the future," Xiaoxue scratched her hair, "Anyway, I was indeed projected from the future. As for the timeline issue - because I didn't involve the timeline at all, the Void Cataclysm was mine. Of course, don’t dwell on this issue, you will know it in the future anyway. By the way, thank you in advance for the pocket money you will give me in the future, although you will report to my dad immediately after every time you give money..."

Harlan: "...It seems that there are quite a lot of things I need to know. You guys... are so amazing..."

Not to mention Haran's surprise, even I never thought about Xiaoxue's acquaintance with him in the future. Now that I think about it, it is absolutely natural: if Haran is successfully captured by us, then in the future he will He is definitely a member of the Shadow City, and he is also a guy who can be very close to our family: just like Sylvia, based on this reasoning, in the future Xiaoxue will basically be the one Harlan watched grow up...

Xiaoxue was able to keep this secret secret all the time, probably because she didn't want to interfere with the event line. I was a little impressed by this naughty kid's ability to keep secrets, and then I started to think about how many other secrets this girl had hidden. Halfway through I thought, I couldn't help but Dare to think about it!

Anyway, I can only be sure of one thing: when Xiaoxue defrauded the entire fleet from Harlan, she seemed to have no mercy at all. This kid...

Calm, smart, thoughtful, and able to be 100% merciless when Harlan was still his enemy, she is not just a naughty child.
