With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 425 Changes in Heaven
On the towering walls of the imperial palace, the light on Artesia's body flickered continuously.

The surface of Xinalo is covered with a large amount of vegetation, and the air quality is quite good. Coupled with a large number of powerful planetary climate control devices, the visibility of the planet's atmosphere is very high.

The light from the battle armor was able to spread all around without hindrance. Even the residents of Xinalo, who were far away on the edge of the imperial city, could clearly see the light that announced the Queen's will.

After three reciprocating cycles, the light finally became stable again.

Under the palace wall, Gurchi stared blankly at the figure on the wall.

Excitement, disappointment... and worry about the future.

Complex emotions surged into his heart at the same time, and for a moment, Gurchi didn't even know how to react.

suddenly.

A noisy sound came from behind and quickly spread around.

The originally quiet imperial city became noisy in just a few seconds!

【Changed! Changed!!】

[Star God above...]

【…】

Faint flickering fluorescent lights came from beside him, conveying some fragmented information to Gurchi.

Gurchi was stunned.

changed?

What has changed?
He subconsciously looked at the palace guard in front of him, trying to see something from his expression.

but……

The guard who had previously saluted Artesia on the city wall with a look of respect on his face, was now looking up at the sky with a dull look on his face.

Looking at the other person's expression filled with shock and eyes reflecting a faint bright light, Gurchi finally realized something belatedly.

The no-fly order has been lifted, so the "iron shell" in the high-altitude orbit of Xinaluo Star must be...

He took a deep breath and suddenly raised his head to look at the sky above his head!
Just like a huge curtain that is slowly drawn open, the originally dull sky finally shows a different color!

As the large-scale tachyon broadcasting array in high-altitude orbit gradually withdrew, the previously cramped sky became vast!

Unlike the previous gray and hazy black sky, the sky now is deeper and darker.

Tiny, cold lights dotted the dense, almost indissoluble darkness. They were the starlights that came from an infinite distance and that the Xinaluo people had not seen for decades! !
Gurchi's pupils suddenly dilated, and his body trembled slightly as he looked at the extremely deep starry sky.

At this moment, a fragment of memory that had been dormant for more than forty years surged out from the depths of his mind.

……

More than forty years ago.

The place of creation, the home planet of Xinalo.

At night, strips of red light like silk threads linger in the sky, illuminating the entire starry sky in a bright red.

Among these red streaks, there are also some blue and purple light bands.

These are the colorful lights produced by emission nebulae, which are also the signs of the place of creation.

As an active Xinalo soldier, Gurchi's main task is to perform some basic defense work on the home planet.

Although it is called defense, in fact, there is no enemy on this planet that needs to be strictly guarded - thousands of years ago, the Xinalo civilization completed the unification of civilization. The resolution of internal conflicts and the abundance of resources allowed the Xinalo civilization to enter a period of stability and peace that lasted for thousands of years.

As for external conflicts...

So far, the Xinalo civilization has not encountered an advanced civilization - at least that's what the Royal Expedition Fleet said.

Not to mention advanced civilization, even basic life has never been seen.

Correspondingly, there is no question of any defense work.

His biggest workload every day is to monitor the lush forest in front of him and ensure that the large light stone veins inside it will not be mined without permission by some greedy thieves.

[It's so boring...] Gurchi sighed helplessly while sitting on the top of the surveillance tower, looking at the endless and undulating forest under the red starry sky.

[Bored?] A faint flickering light came from beside me, [I think this life is quite comfortable. At least I don’t have to run to the sky every day like those space soldiers...]

Gurchi turned his head and looked to the side.

That's his partner, Gershon.

Also responsible for the defense of this forest and the light stone veins within it.

Looking at his partner beside him, Gurchi shook his head slowly: [No, no, no, I still like the work of those space soldiers. ]

[At least I don't have to face this unchanging forest all day long.]

Gerson curled his lips in annoyance, obviously disagreeing with Gurchi's opinion: [Forget it, I heard that those space soldiers go to those uninhabited planets to mine every day. ]

[These aren't space soldiers... They're just a group of miners. ]

Gurqi laughed in silence. After a moment's silence, he once again looked up at the red starry sky above his head: […At least, this way I can get closer to the Star God.]

After these words were spoken, it was Gerson's turn to remain silent.

He let out a long sigh, and followed Gurchi in looking up at the starry sky above his head.

At the end of the sight, starlight that had almost condensed into substance slowly fell and finally drifted away to infinity - that was the imperial city of Xinaluo Star.

[Star God above...]

Gurchi prayed to the starry sky with a devout look. Suddenly, a dazzling red light appeared in the center of the starry sky.

[…Then, what is that? ]

Gurchi stopped praying and stared at the bright red light.

Like Gurchi, Gerson also stared at the suddenly appearing red light in silence: [I don’t know either…]

The red light spread rapidly and became more intense at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is... an explosion!!

When he realized this, Gurchi's pupils slightly dilated, and he suddenly stood up from his seat: [What happened up there? ! ]

In response to him, all he got were tiny explosions of fire one after another, like countless stars!

[…Enemy attack?] Gesen also stood up and speculated in a low voice, [Or…rebellion?]

next second.

A dazzling light came from the surveillance tower behind them, flickering and warning the two defense soldiers.

[Warning of attack from unknown life form! ]

[Attention! Xinaluo's home planet has been attacked by unknown life forms. So far, dozens of unknown life forms have broken through the home planet's orbital defense system! ]

[Number of life forms that have landed in the current area: 1. ]

[All defense soldiers please prepare for battle as soon as possible! ]

The atmosphere around suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Gusts of cool breeze blew in from the depths of the forest, quickly dispelling some of the heat from Gurchi and Gesen.

[This...] Gurchi slowly turned his head and looked at the monitoring tower that was still flashing warning information. He immediately felt a chill rising from his back. [Unknown life form... What does that mean?]

Gerson shook his head stiffly, and then, as if he saw something, the frequency of the fluorescent light on his body suddenly became chaotic: [That, over there...]

Gurchi hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of Gerson's finger.

A brilliant red light rolled down from the sky, like a blazing meteor, and slammed heavily into the vast forest!
Boom! ! !

Crack! Crack! Crack!
Strong vibrations and shock waves swept in from the center of the impact, and the sound of tree trunks bursting continued to ring under the starry sky, shattering the last bit of luck in Gurchi and Gesen's hearts.

As the billowing smoke and dust rising into the sky gradually dissipated, the object at the center of the impact appeared before the two men's eyes.

It was a huge monster covered in hard armor!
A bug! A bug that's over ten meters long!
[What the hell is this...?]

Gerson swallowed and asked the question with a trembling body.

Under the gaze of the two, the insect gently shook off the dust and gravel on its body, and slowly stood up from the deep crater formed by the impact - the huge impact force of the meteorite hitting the planet did not cause any damage to it!

It slowly opened its sharp mouthparts and let out a hoarse hiss. Then it turned its head and fixed its eyes on the tall surveillance tower that was flashing dazzling light.

Boom! Boom! ! Boom! ! !

Heavy footsteps and the sound of tree trunks cracking rang out simultaneously, and the giant insect rushed towards the surveillance tower with a clear goal! !
[Quick! !] Gurchi shuddered and was the first to recover from the shock. He reached out and pulled the still dazed Gerson hard, [Combat Armor! !]

After saying that, without any hesitation, he ran directly towards the latest model of combat armor placed not far away.

Sitting inside the heavy combat armor, watching the heavy visor slowly fall down, the shock and fear in Gurchi's heart also dissipated a lot.

boom! ! !
At the moment when Gurchi and Gesen successfully activated their combat armor, the ten-meter giant insect had already rushed to the towering surveillance tower!

next moment.

Under the gaze of the two, the giant insect opened its dark purple mouthparts and bit the waist of the tower fiercely! ! !

creak...

With a sound that made one's teeth ache, the surveillance tower made of high-strength composite materials began to slowly deform! !

Even...broken!!!
Gurchi looked at the ever-widening crack with a trembling heart and was stunned for a moment.

What kind of creature is this?!

【Jump!!】

Gerson's shout came from the side, waking up Gurchi who was looking confused.

With the help of Gerson, two mechanical armors with faint fluorescent lights on their surfaces jumped down from the top of the tower and dived towards the ground below!

Accompanied by two slight popping sounds, a weak impact came from under them - with the help of the combat armor, Gurchi and Gesen had landed safely on the ground.

As soon as he reached the ground, Gurchi quickly controlled the combat armor and looked at the tall tower behind him.

Crack! Bang!
A huge explosion sounded from behind, and the surveillance tower that had stood in the forest for hundreds of years suddenly broke apart! !

Immediately afterwards, there was an indescribable sharp friction sound!
Under the horrified gaze of Gurki and Gerson, the giant worm bit the tower into pieces and swallowed it into its stomach! !

[Star God above...]

Gerson cried out in fear: [What kind of creature is this? ]

[No matter what creature it is.]

Gurchi manipulated the combat armor and drew out the equipped weapon from his waist.

【What we have to do now is to kill it!!】
