Star Forge Titan

"Allow access." Suppressing the doubts in his mind, Ivan nodded slightly in agreement.

"Hello? Hello! Can you hear me!?!" A somewhat anxious voice immediately echoed in the bridge.

"Unidentified ship ahead. I don't know in which ruins you were lucky enough to find this thing, but please stop ascending immediately."

The image of the angel on the screen became larger and larger. Her face was very pretty, with neat silver-white short hair. She wore a white tights but had few contours. The overall feeling was very neutral, completely different from the perverted angel with a mean figure who liked to stick to Afrediya in Alvin's memory.

Furthermore, the angel's wings were also quite unique. Unlike the traditional wings covered in pure white feathers, they were instead made of gleaming silver steel, with faint traces of orange-red flames, tinged with a hint of blue, constantly emanating from the ends.

Below the iron wings, there are several strange weapons that look like daggers but without visible blades. They look like a steel pipe with a pointed cone on it. On the surface, they do not have the sense of danger unique to cold weapons.

But that was for local people in Palladia like Heidi. In Ivan's opinion, the shape of that thing looked exactly like a missile!

However, the most curious thing is that there is an obvious suture mark on the angel's neck.

It looked as if it had been brutally beheaded, and then someone or something else had reattached its head with miraculous means.

More importantly, Alvin could be sure that the angel appearing before him at this moment was the real angel, not a projection summoned to the material world through means such as an oath in another world.

So, the problem arises.

Because of the special protection launched by the righteous gods during the years of silence, it is difficult for the hundreds of demons in heaven, led by angels, and the myriad demons in hell, led by demons, to enter the material world. That is why there are oaths in other worlds and various evil or twisted demon descent ceremonies.

But even through these special means, the angels and demons that can appear in the material world are only projections of power, not their real bodies.

So, why did the angel in front of him appear directly in his true form?

"Hello? Is the communication connected? Or do you not know how to operate it? Ahhh, so the new civilization that accidentally picked up the heritage of the ancient kingdom is a problem." The angel's voice became more and more anxious, even a little irritable.

"Don't go up! Don't go up at all! If you go up any further you'll crash!"

"So angels have such a lively side?" Heidi said in a strange tone.

"Ah, I've seen more lively ones." Alvin shrugged, and the figure of Frey and the Hymn Angel's best friend behind the girl whose smile made her look like she deserved a beating naturally emerged in his mind.

"You're not going to reply? The other party seems very anxious." The female mage raised her eyebrows and continued to ask:

"Indeed." Alvin smiled slightly.

"It would be rude if you don't speak up." He looked at Embra's holographic projection.

"Embra, send the next sentence I say to the other party."

"I will follow your orders." The virtual projection of the shipborne system responded immediately.

"This is the New Rogilas, I am Captain Ivan Elian. May I ask why we can't continue to rise?" After saying that, Ivan thought for a moment and tentatively made an invitation.

"If you don't mind, please come in and explain it in detail."

"Uh." The angel was visibly stunned.

Then, her expression suddenly became very strange.

"Erian? The legendary Alvin Erian who can make demons cry?" At this point, the angel subconsciously stepped back a distance.

“…” Ivan’s expression froze immediately.

He didn't expect that the other party's hesitation was not because of the sudden invitation, but because of his own name.

When did I gain celestial reputation?

What else does it mean to 'make even the devil cry'?

Don’t let me know which big mouth spread this weird rumor, or I’ll beat him to pieces!

"Perhaps there may be some small misunderstandings." The young Titan forced himself to control the twitching of his face and spoke slowly in a voice as gentle as possible:

"...Forget it. Next, I will guide you to the temporary stop where there are specialists to provide relevant information." The unknown young angel obviously had no intention of coming in.

Then, Alvin saw bright lights flashing alternately, red and blue, at both ends of the angel's wings, and began to wave rhythmically under the other party's control.

From a distance, it looked just like what the traffic police holding at the scene to maintain order after a traffic accident happened.

——Fluorescent indicator stick?

Chapter 3 Angel Action

When Alvin was thinking about the difference between angel traffic police and ordinary traffic police.

The angel Yuliya, who was temporarily acting as the space traffic controller, was so nervous that he felt like he was about to cry, well, or maybe he almost cried.

Anyway, when she saw the unknown starship that was astonishingly huge, even more exaggerated than the rumored next-generation super-crossbow-class battleship, an inexplicable awe unique to super-huge objects immediately surged in her heart.

As a reserve Seraph specialized in space warfare, even in his still-growing stage, Yuliyaer was taller than the average Celestial. But compared to the spaceship before him, it was like an ant to a skyscraper, a drop of water to the ocean—there was no comparison at all.

Therefore, even though the resistance of the celestial realm to various negative emotions is so high that it is almost immune, this kind of awe that does not come from innate fear but from rational judgment still inevitably emerges.

Having received a complete liberal arts education and achieved excellent results, Yuliyaer knew very well what the so-called "super-crossbow-class battleship" meant, and he also understood how amazing the power of a starship of that level should be.

What made her feel even more helpless was that this warship was not produced by the inner forging ring of the Fire Realm, but rose directly from the material world!

what does this mean?

First of all, the heavenly realm will regularly receive various information fed back through the temples of the material world, and rely on summary analysis to determine whether the overall development of the material world civilization is healthy.

Secondly, judging by the public information released by the Information Circulation Administration, the current level of development of material civilization is still at the stage of the first technological revolution. Whether it's materials science, magical dynamics, or astronomy, none of them have yet reached the stage of exploring the starry sky.

Finally, this starship's streamlined structure, resembling an elongated arrow and a size even larger than today's mainstream battleships, perfectly matched the description of a prototype spacecraft from the late First Giant Kingdom in the indoctrination knowledge base. Furthermore, some parts of it surprisingly resembled descriptions of the ultra-ancient Uranus civilization.

The former was once the civilization with the greatest hope of breaking through the planet's gravity, while the latter was an unknown country that the gods were reluctant to mention easily. Young, new-generation celestials like Yuliaer only knew from the history part of their general education that there was a certain degree of inheritance relationship between the two.

To sum up, there is a 99.99% probability that the owner of this unknown warship is not from an advanced country capable of building starships.

It is likely that this starship was discovered by an adventurer who had unparalleled luck and excavated it from the ruins of the First Giant Kingdom, which had never been discovered by anyone.

Who are adventurers? Miss Yuliya, who is well-versed in material world adventure novels, is of course very clear.

Those are some...

“Knowledge is power.”

Yuliyar silently recited the most core traditional prayer of the ancient god of wisdom, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Although he was only flying at cruising speed and did not use afterburner at all, the young angel, who was less than a hundred years old, felt cold sweat pouring out like a broken faucet.

A weapon so advanced that it can be activated by pressing a button makes little difference whether it is held by a soldier or a baby. The difference here is only in lethality. If we consider the level of threat, the latter is more dangerous.

Because no one knows when and why a child will press the launch button without hesitation.

This was the fundamental reason why Yuliaer was so nervous that he almost leaked it out.

Fortunately, this difficult problem will soon not just be hers. If the pressure is shared, the weight that each person needs to bear will surely be reduced a lot, right?

Ha ha ha ha……

Yuliya laughed dryly in his heart, but he didn't dare to increase the speed. Fortunately, the other party seemed to have figured out some driving experience, so at least so far, there had been no major problems.

But if her sudden acceleration caused the pilot of the starship behind her to accidentally make an error in operation, wouldn't she be asking for trouble or even death?

Don't be anxious. I know I am very anxious, but don't be anxious for now. Anyway, once the camouflage layer is passed through, the big shots above will definitely be more anxious than me when they see it.

that's the truth.

Wait for the starship to continue to advance to the edge of low-Earth orbit.

Alarms immediately rang inside a space fortress stationed nearby.

"An unknown starship has been detected rising! It's approaching the inner ring of the Fire Realm!"

A young angel quickly blew the golden horn hanging at his waist, but then a very loud voice came out from the instrument.

"How is this possible!?! Are all the Sky Eye Bureau operators dead? They didn't even do this most basic daily work?" Upon hearing this, the Power Angel, who had a handsome face but exuded a strong aura of 'overworked office slave', immediately looked at the other party in astonishment.

"It's a camouflage layer. After the Fire Realm was activated, the innermost camouflage layer of the planet's protective barrier constantly filtered out all information transmitted from outer space to the material world. However, this shielding and filtering actually works in both directions. As long as the barrier remains open, it will cause significant interference to our observations. And that ship... that ship actually rose directly from within the material world!"

"Don't be ridiculous! Aren't there regular patrols arranged in the inner layer close to the material world? Where are the people? Were they all shot down? Even if they were just reserves, they were Seraph reserves!"

The Angel of Power, the manager of this small space fortress, denied it loudly, but his hands did not hesitate at all. He immediately emitted magical light to complete the construction of the command chain and passed a large number of instructions downward.

"Besides, the highest level of civilization in the material world right now isn't even Lv0.5. How could they possibly build a starship capable of reaching the first cosmic velocity? It's not completely impossible..."

As if thinking of something, the Angel of Power's expression suddenly froze.

"Could it be..." He uttered half a sentence slowly in an incredulous voice.

"The results of the friend-or-foe identification signal comparison are out, and the wavelength characteristics are consistent with the First Kingdom of Giants!" Another angel who was operating a precision instrument nearby shouted.

"Damn it, they're actually excavating a warship. I didn't expect that I would actually encounter such a low-probability event in my lifetime." Upon hearing this incredible conclusion, the Angel of Power subconsciously raised his voice.

If he hadn't had his subordinates standing in front of him, he might have violated the rules and used more rude words, such as those he used to use when arguing with demons on the battlefield.

"God, please bless the passengers inside to be rational enough." An angel couldn't help but mutter to himself, and it was obvious that he had the same idea as a certain Seraph candidate Yuliyar who was leading the way.

"No, if the gods really want to bless us, please make sure that the people inside don't move." The Angel of Power pressed his eyebrows and looked extremely tired.

It was almost my turn to rest, but I encountered this unexpected incident. Fate is so unpredictable.

Despite their constant complaints, the angels managed to manage the emergency while simultaneously bickering with one another. The celestial realm's hundreds of excellent thinking abilities were fully capable of supporting them in completing complex, multi-threaded tasks simultaneously. The Archangel of Power, the fortress's supervisor, didn't stop them because the mutual rants helped to relieve stress.

At this moment, the young angel who had first blown the horn to warn suddenly said in an uncertain tone:

"Is it possible that the people inside actually know how to drive?"

"It's highly unlikely. The Second Kingdom, founded by the last remnants of the ancient kingdom, perished on the northern ice fields many years ago. The remaining survivors, bereft of their heritage, have become completely wild and primitive tribes. It's practically impossible for them to possess such advanced knowledge."

"As for the other kingdoms, those children are just beginning their first technological innovations and still have a long way to go before they can understand and properly utilize First Kingdom technology. Right now, it's probably the artificial thinking module that's been mistakenly triggered that's causing the ship to automatically launch. I hope the children of the land-based kingdoms inside won't be frightened."

Although the Archangel of Power, who was in charge, said this, the young angel did not immediately give up his opinion because he noticed another more unusual thing.

"Gentlemen, the ship is coming our way."

"What!?!" All the angels turned their heads and looked at the side of the space fortress facing the material world.

Then, they saw a battle starship that was even larger than the space fortress itself slowly approaching.

In front of it, an inconspicuous little light was flapping its wings and sending signals from afar with red and blue lights.

"It's a reserve Seraph on patrol. It doesn't look like it was shot down. Hmm? It's an optical signal transmission."

"…Communicable…Basic driving skills…Identity unknown…"

"Ship owner's name..."

"Ivan Elian!"

In an instant, the entire space fortress command room fell into an eerie silence.

"If I remember correctly, some time ago, a rumor started circulating among the demons that someone possessed the terrifying Nerukigate…" At this point, the corners of the speaking angel's mouth twitched uncontrollably for several times before he calmed down and continued:

"The powerful warrior who wields Nerugigate and makes even demons weep seems to be called this."

"By the way, according to unconfirmed unknown gossip, that person might be the future son-in-law of Lady Antonia and His Excellency Falling Moon Sword."

"Stop talking about it. This is not something we should discuss."

The Power Angel, who was more mature and steady than the other angels, immediately interrupted the inappropriate gossip.

"Notify the transportation port to immediately initiate docking procedures for the special ultra-large ship."

"There are many things to do and the situation is urgent." Quan Tianyong clapped his hands vigorously.

"Come on, angels of God!"

Chapter 4 Chaos Invasion

Looking at the gradually blurry space ahead, Seraph candidate Yuliyaer let out a sigh of relief.

That was the outermost boundary of the camouflage layer. After passing through it, one could see the true nature of the universe. Beyond that was the small space fortress where one was temporarily stationed.

Don't be nervous, there's nothing to be nervous about. It's just guiding the super-bow-class battleship into the port. At most, it's just a small episode with a small probability of occurring during the training mission.

There's no way anything could happen, absolutely not.

I can definitely do this well!

Don't forget, Yuliya! You're a Seraph egg forged by the God of Wisdom from the beautiful fire and martyred souls of a warrior, blended with the strongest steel. How could something go wrong before you even get your official combat class?

The young Seraph candidate kept encouraging himself in his heart.

But what she didn't know was that many things often go unexpectedly when nothing unexpected should happen.

The other angels in the small space fortress thought the same thing. As the closest node to the inner camouflage layer of the Fire Realm's defense line, sudden encounters usually did not occur here.

Because of this, the number of people stationed inside the fortress and the overall defense strength are quite limited. It is mainly used for training and initial internships for candidate recruits. It also takes advantage of its convenient location to communicate regularly with the major temples in the material world to ensure real-time updates of relevant intelligence information.
