He felt a warmth on his head, and a broken picture flashed before his eyes. The prophecy passively entered Odin's mind.

 When Odin Sharma opened his eyes again, Perlis met his single eye.

 This time, she did not see fear and trembling towards herself in the old man's eyes again.

 There was a smile on his face, a victorious smile.

Chapter 727 Prophet (Part 3) -3k-

 In the bedroom, Raja sat at the desk, organizing data.

 Looking at the rows of data, his brows were furrowed and his expression was unnatural.

 There is no doubt that the Free Alliance suffered heavy casualties, and although the fusion ball lightning at the top of the engine area has been controlled, it is only temporary.

 The best way is to move the people of the engine area out and stop them from staying in this dangerous and wild place.

 Now it seems that the role of the secondary engine may be much smaller than Raja imagined: even Odin Sharma has turned it into a discarded pawn. Perhaps relying only on the main engine, the starship can complete the interstellar travel.

 After all, its primary course was determined by the interplanetary flight Tamara-Toss, with the secondary engines providing only minor adjustments.

 "There's only one chance..." Raja murmured softly, "Get out, or be completely destroyed."

 He knew that what Odin Sharma had left behind was an open conspiracy: the battle on the surface deck would most likely replicate the last Great Drift War, and the coalition forces would be completely defeated under the attack of the old harpoon's main gun.

 The difference is that this time, there is no way out.

 Even if they were able to return to the engine area after being defeated, they would have already lost the engine power from the core, and their demise would only be a matter of time.

 Although the secondary fusion that permeates the core area is a strong source of pollution, without the support of this heat, the coldness of space is enough to destroy any form of life.

 Only one chance.

 There is no escape route.

 ""

 As Raja was thinking at the table, the door behind him opened.

 He turned and saw Nynaeve standing in the doorway.

 The girl was a little hesitant and nervous. She didn't speak to Raja, but walked into the room silently and sat down beside the bed.

 Raja looked at Nani and spoke softly:

 "Hi."

 "Hi."

 Nani nodded slightly and said nothing more, just looking at Raja quietly.

 She seemed to have lost her former cleverness and eccentricity and became much quieter.

 Raja continued to work on his task. He looked at the rows of data on the tablet, calculating various possibilities and allocating the remaining troops and resources.

 He needs to become a qualified moksada, which is a requirement for cooperation with the UP.

 The girl accompanied the boy silently, and the two stayed in the room for a long, long time, so long that Raja almost forgot Nani's existence.

 When he finally finished all his work, he looked back and found Nani still sitting there.

 When she met her gaze again, Nynaeve spoke softly:

 "I'm the reason you closed your active vision, right?"

 Something trembled slightly inside Raja's body, like an electric current, like a sudden gust of cold wind.

 He opened his mouth slightly, then closed it again, looked away, and then said:

 "it's not true."

 "You can't fool me," Nynaeve said calmly. "Have you forgotten? You can never fool me. No matter how many people think you're a great prophet, I can always see through you."

 "Why are you so confident?"

 "Because I am me, and you are you."

 Nini stood up, walked behind the chair and put her arms around Raja's shoulders.

 She put her mouth close to the boy's ear and whispered softly:

 "Dad and I talked a lot during this meeting. He told me about the new divine will and the new destiny of the Unified Society."

 "He told me that when fate arrives, a pious person should choose to accept it calmly rather than escape."

 "Because, no matter what the ending is, it is destined."

 "You are not a believer," Raja said softly, "You do not have to accept your fate."

 "I don't need to be a believer to fear fate," Nynaeve chuckled. "Only the weak fear fate. Do you think I'm weak?"

 "you are not..."

 "Then why fear?"

 Raja felt his face being gently touched. The girl exuded a faint scent of spices, which was the scent of some kind of detergent produced in the White Cathedral City. It seemed to be in perfect harmony with her temperament.

 "I'm not afraid of fate, Raja," she whispered. "You shouldn't be afraid of my fate either, okay? You are Moksada, the chosen one, and you have such a long way to go..."

 Hearing the girl say this, Raja closed his eyes.

 "But, without you..."

 His words seemed to be squeezed out from cracks in the rock, soft yet with a certain unquestionable tenacity.

 "Without you...what's the point of a long journey?"

 The boy opened his eyes and looked at the girl, his expression mixed with sadness and pity.

 It had been a long time since he had dared to look seriously into the girl's eyes. The last time he did so, he saw her death and a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

 Her death can ensure the survival of everyone in the Free Alliance.

 And if he continued to escape, what awaited them all was equal and without exception death.

 But he didn't want her to die.

 ""

 Nynaeve had never seen the boy so lost. He seemed no longer the invincible leader he once was, but a young boy.

 She gently pulled him to his feet and turned around to face him.

 "I won't leave," Nynaeve whispered. "I swear."

 "...I won't leave you either."

 The two hugged each other and then fell on the bed, hugging each other tightly.

 Outside the window, a dark slit loomed—an eight-legged high-ranking judge walked between the slits of the deck, carrying the armies of the Free Alliance and the Unification Association.

 They were heading towards the Gravity Control Center, and young Moksada knew that the war for him had only just begun.

 Deep Rock City - Gravity Control

 Kane was a soldier, a royal soldier.

 "Royal", of course, he knew that the Tuki faction had not yet unified the entire starship. Even though Odin Sharma named him a member of the Royal Army, he was not serving the royal family in the traditional sense.

 During the Great Drift War, he was a member of the Free Alliance. At that time, he was in Deep Rock City, responsible for guarding the important figures of Gravity Central Control and ensuring their personal safety.

 That war was aimed at the upper deck. Since Odin Sharma had deployed a large number of troops in the central hub at that time, and the Gravity Control Center proposed a plan to attack the magic cave directly from the surface deck, the Alliance chose to open the gravity generator to the maximum and immediately attack from the surface deck.

 That was how it should have been, until Odin Sharma's messenger offered them an unimaginable price.

 All they need to do is betray the Free Alliance and shut down the gravity generator during the march, and their city will leap to the super city level of the upper deck, and they will be able to obtain the royal employment order of Odin Sharma.

 Some people agreed, some refused, and the ones who agreed successfully killed the ones who refused.

 Then, Kane stood here.

 He was standing on the city wall where the mountain shield generator was located. What came into view was the vast rainforest landscape. The main fusion crescent moon was crossing the sky, casting a faint blue light on the outline of the jungle.

 A super city, the forces that control gravity get such a generous reward.

 Their city is located in the heart of a super-rainforest, protected by a mountain shield - a super shield that is as high as a mountain and covers the city, and is provided with clean energy by the main fusion energy.

 Its existence makes Deep Rock an insurmountable fortress.

 Kane is one of the guardians of this fortress - although he is a guardian, he does not usually need to stand guard. After all, the entire city is wrapped in shields, and the identity of a soldier is just a symbol of privilege.

 But tonight is different.

 The Tuki faction suddenly sent a message: the Free Alliance, in conjunction with the Unification Society, was preparing to launch an attack from the surface deck, and if they wanted to do so, they would have to capture Deep Rock City.

 Free Alliance! Kane cursed in his heart, those lunatics were still thinking about rebellion, it was really weird.

 He also heard about Odin Salma blowing up the central hub. Although that seemed to affect the energy supply of many super cities, it was not a problem for Gravity Central Control - their energy pipelines were directly connected to the core area. After all, the gravity of the entire spacecraft was generated by them. If something went wrong here, the entire ship would not be in good shape.

 Kane doesn't hate Odin, he hates Raja more.

 Life was already good, but because that Raja wanted to cause trouble, he had to symbolically work the night shift.

 The reason why it is symbolic is because Kane knows that no matter how powerful Moksada is, he cannot pass through the mountain shield.

 This shield is powered directly by the core area, and the energy is inexhaustible. Unless the core is destroyed, it is impossible to destroy this shield.

 It is also very simple to shut it down: the mobile key used to shut down the shield will continuously flow through the 2323441 quantum computers built around the city wall, and will be refreshed and reset to zero every time it exists for 0.05 seconds.

 To shut down the shield, one must either find the quantum computer where the data exists precisely within this 0.05 second, or destroy all 2323441 quantum computers at the same time.

 Kane didn't think any mortal could do such a thing.

 "What a boring night," complained Kane's comrade. "I really want to go back to Deep Rock, go to the bar in the Old Carpet District, have a couple of drinks... and tell those girls about my past heroic deeds."

 "You mean during the Rebellion?" Cain scoffed. "Those weren't heroic deeds."

 "We defeated that damned Moxada!" his comrades laughed. "He acts like a prophet, but what's he really? He's just a foolish kid who thinks he can see the future!"

 "I agree with you that he obviously doesn't see a future in which he will fail." Kane nodded.

 "If you ask me, why don't we sneak back?" the comrade suggested, "Nothing will happen tonight, believe me..."

 Before he could finish, a whistling sound came from far away.

 Kane turned his head suddenly and saw a ray of fire streaking across the sky and falling into the rainforest in the distance.

 "boom!!!!"

 A hundred-meter-wide orange-yellow fireball expanded, and a mushroom cloud soared thousands of meters into the sky. The flames swept through the forest in a ring, spreading like an ancient sacrifice.

 A secondary fusion nuclear bomb!

 The air raid alarm suddenly sounded, and Kane suddenly picked up the communicator and shouted:

 "Enemy attack!!!"

Chapter 728 Prophet (Part 4) -3k-

 A secondary fusion nuclear bomb broke the night sky of Deep Rock City, dyeing the sky orange and yellow.

 When Kane opened his eyes again, he was standing in a virtual space, surrounded by soldiers who had been urgently summoned.

 "...The Free Alliance is attacking us. Their secondary fusion nuclear bomb did not hit our mountain shield. The guidance jammer system successfully intercepted it..."

 At the highest point of the virtual space, a huge face composed of countless red light spots hung. It was the commander-in-chief of the army, Commander-in-Chief Ravenson.

 "Based on calculations of the explosive equivalent, the Free Alliance's powerful firepower has not reached the mountain shield's energy-breaking threshold. There is no need to worry about the city's safety."

 Hearing this, Kane finally felt relieved.

 He cursed the Moksada for being so presumptuous as to try to break through the shield that he could never penetrate.

 "...However, the nuclear bomb caused great damage to the rainforest ecosystem surrounding Deep Rock. Due to some legacy issues from urban construction, we need to conduct a thorough reconnaissance and clearance of the area around the detonation point, proactively attack, and defeat them."

 "Meanwhile, the wildfires continue to spread. Deep Rock is a model green city in the Gravity Central Zone. We don't want our tourism industry to be shut down by a stupid attack. Those idiots in the megacities are willing to pay gold to absorb the natural oxygen produced by the rainforest."

 "Our standing army currently numbers 100,000 men. Even if the mountain shield is shattered, we can easily defend the city. Now, since those lunatics have challenged us personally, we will let them get what they want—and give them blood and fire!"

 Following Commander Ravenson's declaration, the virtual space gradually faded.

 Kane returned to the city wall, raised his wrist to look at the terminal above, and received a new order:

 Operation Wildfire.

 Ten minutes later, Kane boarded the falcon-shaped transport plane, fully armed.

 He checked the automatic fusion beam rifle hanging on his chest, then sat down in the seat and fastened his seat belt.
