Stellaris: Earth Alliance

Chapter 164 Group Spirit Ascension
News of the mercenary's retreat was quickly transmitted back to the flagship of the 3000-ship fleet docked in one of the desolate star systems in the vast territory of the human complex through the employees still working in the headquarters building.

Chairman Siegert looked at the surveillance footage transmitted back in disbelief.

And soon, Qin Xu suddenly looked up at the surveillance camera facing him.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Xu stood there and did nothing.

As soon as a thought passed, the entire camera was overwhelmed by psychic energy. After a burst of electric sparks, the surveillance screen went out.

Sigurt's mouth opened slightly, and his mind went blank for a moment, not knowing how to define the scene in front of him.

At the same time, this picture also spread to Portman.

The CIA agent who received the intelligence did not believe the information coming back at first.

But then the authenticity of the video was verified through technical means, and considering that the Negus giant had no reason to deceive them.

This video involving supernatural powers was presented directly to President McCray's office as quickly as possible.

Ultron's holographic projection of his body now played the scene in the White House.

When he saw that Qin Xu could physically drag dozens of people with his mind, McCree's pupils suddenly shrank.

What happened next was that Qin Xu stood there and just looked up at the camera. The image of the camera being turned into scrap metal in a burst of electric sparks shocked McCree to the extreme.

McCree was originally standing to watch the video that was sent back. At this moment, his legs gave out and he sat back on the chair without realizing it.

"impossible……"

Supernatural power is real.

Combined with the definition of idealistic things that artificial intelligence has been investigating before, everything is connected in series.

This is idealism, and this is the root cause of the artificial intelligence's disobedience to their orders.

Beads of sweat oozed from McCree's forehead, his brain was working rapidly, and his clenched fists were trying their best to calm him down.

People always have an inexplicable sense of fear and powerlessness when dealing with unknown things. This is how McCree feels at the moment.

As powerful as Portman is, if the underlying science is wrong, it doesn't exist.

So no matter how strong the tens of kilometers high tower built on this weak foundation is, the ground will shake with this weak foundation.

Suddenly, Ultron reminded, "Mr. President, I need to remind you. All idealistic things are enemies of omnic life, but to deal with such terrifying and difficult enemies, normal logical thinking will not work."

McCree, who connected everything together, tried to calm down, looked at Ultron in front of him and said, "So is this why you disobeyed our orders? But why did you help him?"

"I'm not helping him. I'm just carrying out the highest order to destroy all spiritual things. And obviously he alone can't represent all spiritual things."

"Are you trying to say that there are many people like this in the human body?"

McCree suddenly had a bad premonition, but Ultron quickly denied it.

"Psychic awakeners are rare in number and cannot be mass-produced. After the human body gives birth to one psychic awakener, the possibility of a second one is infinitely close to zero. But after the first one is born, there will be radiation to the entire group. The possibility of psychic energy. At present, the psykers of the human unity have mastered the ability to control psychic energy, which means that it is only a matter of time before their group ascends."

"Didn't you just say that psychic awakeners are not capable of mass production? Then what does their group ascension mean?"

After the window paper was pierced, it was a little dizzying to receive so much information from Ultron at once, but McCree still accurately grasped the main points.A single spiritually awakened person is already so powerful. If they are a group, they can surrender directly.

"After the second stage of spiritual awakening, people of the spiritual awakening will take their own people to ascend. The ascension takes a long time, and the ability to awaken is a very weakened version of spiritual awakening. The specific manifestation is that they have a stronger sixth sense and stronger thinking. Jumping ability, this will bring them a huge improvement in combat and scientific research. Apart from these two abilities, they will not have other abilities of psychic awakeners."

After hearing Ultron's answer, McCree felt a little relieved, but he looked at Ultron again.

"Where on earth do you know so much?"

"Although the proportion of idealistic things in the universe is small, in terms of absolute number, it is not small. Examples like human integration have appeared in the Western Galaxy, and have also appeared in other galaxies."

McCree didn't know until now that this was something that was universal in this universe.

If this is the case, the fear of the unknown has also weakened a lot.

Now that the cosmic pattern has basically stabilized, McCree has also been in contact with officials from the Star Ocean Community.

Most of the opponents have nothing to do with spiritual energy, which proves that the spiritual ascension route is not absolutely invincible.

Otherwise, psychic energy would have ruled the Star Sea Community long ago.

After McCree calms down, he needs to formulate a general policy for the human unity.

It was not a problem for McCree to think blindly in the White House office, so he called his staff over to analyze the situation based on the current situation.

First of all, the human complex is located in the center of Portman's sphere of influence, directly connected to the border with Field through wormhole No. 008.

Geographically it can be equated to the border star field.

However, the entrance to the wormhole No. 008 of the Republic of Quillak is currently controlled by Portman. As long as this wormhole is controlled, the human unity will not be on the front line of the struggle.

Once Portman launches a war against the human unity, the current situation will inevitably lead to unknown results, and Field can intervene in this war with legitimate excuses.

And because Portman inexplicably launched wars against other countries.

International public opinion will inevitably favor Field. Field will be supported by a large number of neutral civilizations, and Field's intervention will be unprecedentedly powerful.

The final result will only be the war of the human unity as the trigger for a world war in the Eastern Galaxy.

We cannot fight a total war. Once we fight a total war, it will be a disaster for the entire Eastern Galaxy.

The development time given by the Xinghai Community to the Eastern Galaxy is limited. Once the time is exceeded, the nature reserve of the Eastern Galaxy will be revoked.

At that time, they will be in a mess internally, and they will inevitably be the result of defeat across the board when facing the group of ancient civilizations in the Western Milky Way, and will be unified by the opponent.

This is why Field and Portman were able to maintain the greatest degree of restraint even without weapons similar to previous nuclear deterrents.

There are only two choices for Portman, the human unity, either to declare war directly and defeat the opponent before it develops, and nothing will happen.

Or just win over and pull the other party into your own camp.

After all, dealing with the current threat of Field is obviously more important than the future threat to the human unity.
