"Wait, an obstacle? Isn't this video enough?" Ever since the recording was finished, feeling she'd saved a planet with a single video, Sanyueqi was already itching to return home. She couldn't wait to get back to the Star Train and brag to Uncle Yang, Miss Jizi, and Pam. With such high hopes for this, how could she accept that her masterpiece would only be an obstacle?
"This... probably isn't enough." Estelle hesitated and said:
"In addition to the Strategic Investment Department, which initiated this plan, it also received support from the Building Materials and Logistics Department. Mr. Osvaldo from the Market Investment Department alone would have difficulty completely rejecting the plan. He can only make certain cuts and delays."
"A plan of this scale would be difficult to veto with a single vote unless there were some overwhelming risks and crises like a particle storm, gravity collapse, star extinction, or the arrival of an anti-matter army."
Hearing the familiar term, Jiang Yan suddenly interrupted and said:
"Wait a minute, Ester, we have the Anti-Material Corps here! Even though they're from seven hundred years ago, that doesn't stop us from trying to awaken hundreds or thousands of them and fight them again."
Although he didn't dare to let his ghost fire fox spirit sister make a guest appearance, the last thing he lacked here was the antimatter army frozen into ice sculptures. If he thawed them and used them, wouldn't that be a ready-made major crisis?
"Don't do that!" Estelle, who was on the communication terminal, was so frightened by Jiang Yan's cruel actions that her face turned green. She waved her hands repeatedly:
"The Antimatter Legion's power stems from the Great Lord of Extinction, who transformed them into life forms. If the Lord senses the Legion's awakening, this planet will be completely destroyed!"
In order to shoot a video, they actually went deep into the space-time disaster "Aftermath" and challenged a powerful enemy again. Estelle had long been impressed by the hardcoreness of the people of Yarilo No. 6. She didn't want to hear in the interstellar peace broadcast that Mr. Jiang and several friends on the Star Train had successfully been put on the universe's wanted list for actively summoning the Lord of Extinction to destroy a planet.
"Is that so? Thanks for reminding me, otherwise I would have made a big mistake."
Estelle's words made Jiang Yan scratch his cheek in embarrassment. It seemed like before embarking on any drastic action in this cosmic age, he should consult a professional. Otherwise, once he became the Lich King of Yalilo, it would be too late to regret.
However, the danger of being just one step away from destroying the planet made Jiang Yan even more interested in using the Antimatter Legion as a pretext to scare away the Interstellar Peace Company.
After all, the more dangerous and impossible the plan is, the more it can scare others.
When everyone thinks that no one would do such a thing, isn't it the best cover-up for this move?
More importantly, there is a very professional "professional" hidden in his scabbard. If that ghost fire vixen says it is safe, what danger is there?
Following this line of thought, Jiang Yan quickly came up with an amazing idea. He quickly tapped his scabbard and mentally asked the "professional" hidden inside:
"...Sister, this is okay, right? Can you fool your colleagues?"
"Very interesting, worthy of being my younger brother." Tingyun, who had been watching the show and secretly licking it in the special seat, was very satisfied with Jiang Yan's audacity to even use the Antimatter Legion. To reward this pleasure, she didn't mind giving her little cake some confidence, and of course, some seasoning:
"Don't worry, the legion Xing Xiao left here hasn't woken up yet, so he won't know about this."
Huh? He actually woke up?
Even with the assurance, Jiang Yan couldn't feel happy at all. Compared to what Ting Yun had hinted at, this good news was nothing.
When he thought about the terrifying scene where the cold wave had just receded and the antimatter army under the ice and snow was about to take over from the world-ripping monsters to continue attacking the city, even Jiang Yan's face turned green this time.
For a moment, he even thought of surrendering directly to Topa and running away with the Belobergs, leaving this unfortunate planet to them and the Anti-Materials Corps to mess around with.
But Jiang Yan quickly gave up on this weak thought. Since he wanted to hand in a perfect score on his paper and cultivate his determination to protect it, why would he consider running away as a useless option?
The Antimatter Corps is great! The reason why the Interstellar Peace Company dared to attack this planet is because the star core is not scary enough, right?
Now, isn't the scary thing happening?
Since there are such huge hidden dangers, as long as everyone makes a short film called "Reign of Destruction", will they still have the courage to build an amusement park?
After thinking this through, Jiang Yan immediately felt more confident and suggested to Ester on the other end of the line:
"Since this group of antimatter troops can be sensed, why don't we just replace them with another group?"
"Ms. Ester, I heard from Miss March and Miss Xing that the Black Tower Space Station was attacked by the Antimatter Legion several months ago, and there are still a number of Void Soldiers sealed in some containment bays. Could you please donate these Void Soldiers to us so we can film a short scene?"
"Ah???" Ester never expected that her new friend was so stubborn. Even after she reminded him, he still planned to play with fire.
But after thinking about it carefully, Ester had to admit that this plan was indeed not dangerous at all.
After all, Nanook's followers clearly weren't going to imitate the City Builders' steadfastness. They treated their Void Soldiers as expendable supplies, showing no mercy in any action. Most of the Void Soldiers that attacked the Black Tower Station had already been killed or evacuated. Those that failed to escape and were sealed away were essentially abandoned. Ester had studied them for so long without incident, so even if she sensed they had been transported to the far edge of the galaxy, how could she possibly care about their fate?
But while it made sense, this kind of cruelty, using the antimatter army that the entire universe feared as an extra, was truly beyond Estelle's psychological endurance. She was extremely conflicted and could only sigh and say helplessly:
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, I will meet your request. But before that, please consult your companions, especially the planetary administrators. After all, this concerns the fate of the entire planet."
"Thank you for your support, Miss Ester. Please send me the information and observation reports on the sealed antimatter legions. I will contact you later. Thank you for your hard work."
After ending the call, Jiang Yan raised his head and looked at everyone who had been listening with strange expressions:
"Everyone heard it, an action movie like 'Cold Wave' isn't enough to scare off Interstellar Peace Corporation. We need a horror movie."
"A horror movie naturally needs some rather ferocious villains. What do you think?"
Is there anything else this guy wouldn't dare to do? Almost everyone present had the same thought in their minds.
You even dare to borrow the Antimatter Legion? Why don't you borrow some bugs from the Universal Locust Plague?
"Forget the Interstellar Peace Company. We're all scared off by you, okay?" As expected, he was educated by those crazy people on Xianzhou who have been hunting people down for thousands of years. He's really not to be trifled with.
However, the Belobergs, who have fought desperate battles for years, have never lacked the courage to risk their lives. Since we've already exhausted all the available options, and Miss Ester has been doing research for so long and still managed to survive, why wouldn't we dare take this little risk?
Soon, everyone began to collectively create a work based on Jiang Yan's horror film script titled "Reign of Destruction":
In the galaxy lies a desolate, doomsday city called "Beloberg." Snow and wind have enveloped it for several Amber Ages. Historical records indicate that a city builder, using forbidden means to summon endless frost in order to defeat the onslaught of antimatter forces, created this endless frost.
But now, the snowstorm has suddenly subsided. The city has become warm and livable, and life has begun to revive. Some say that a few heroes have somehow stopped the snowstorm, allowing Beloberg to be reborn.
But in reality, that was a foreshadowing laid by the Great Lord of Extinction, "Star Howl," before the Snowstorm destroyed her legion. A "seed" of the Great Lord of Extinction was placed outside the Snowstorm, awaiting the opportunity to reign supreme once again.
The seeds planted by Xing Xiao had now sprouted. She caused the snowstorm to subside, the ice to melt, and the Void Soldiers, who were supposed to be dormant forever, to awaken once again and begin their vengeance.
When the people of Beloberg were immersed in the joy of the revival of all things, someone suddenly saw that the frozen virtual soldiers had reawakened and were gathering in formation in the remaining snowfields.
The soldiers knelt on the ground, swore allegiance to the terrifying leader, and shouted her terrifying name in unison—
"Dark Lord Hook!"
Well, Jiang Yan's story was just a joke with a clear implication. It didn't have to be that complicated to scare the Interstellar Peace Corporation. All they had to do was pre-freeze the virtual soldiers sent by Esther with snow and wind and March Seven's six-phase ice, then film them breaking free from their ice. That would be enough to scare the hell out of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
As Nanook's most frequently used general, Starhowl's troops are spread across the galaxy, weaving marching paths and roads of destruction among the stars. Even the Interstellar Peace Company would never be willing to confront such a terrifying army that cares nothing for casualties and is only interested in destroying everything.
Building an amusement park? Run as far as you can!
Soon, after constantly refining the details, the script of this short play soon took shape.
However, the more complete it became, the less able everyone was to laugh due to Jiang Yan's suggestion.
Is this really a script? Is this really what's going to happen?
Before the cold wave arrived, Yalilo 6 had been almost completely destroyed by the Antimatter Legion. Now that the cold wave was gone, who could guarantee that the Antimatter Legion would let this planet go?
If the revived Void Soldiers were truly sensed by that "Star Howl," how could they resist the destructive legion that would obscure the starry sky? Would they seek out the Star Core to apologize and summon another cold wave?
In the increasingly depressing atmosphere, Bronya, the Great Guardian, finally stood up:
"I will dispatch all scientific research teams to the gradually thawing area as soon as possible to detect any signs of activity by the Antimatter Corps."
"If this future comes true, I believe that countless forces along the way, including the Interstellar Peace Company, will help us eliminate all traces of us in the ice and snow. What do we have to fear?"
"We don't have much time left, come on everyone!"
Bronya's words to stabilize the army's morale made everyone suddenly realize the truth.
Yes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The planet is already in this state anyway. If the Lord of Extinction is really attracted, who will be the most anxious?
An interstellar peace company that is worried about the destruction of star tracks and large-scale interruption of trade routes?
Xianzhou Luofu, who had just been tricked by Huanlong and was bent on revenge?
Or is it Beloberg, who was originally trapped in an isolated city and is now still besieged by the Rift?
Although a powerful enemy was added, a large number of people were also forced to fall into this trench. Isn't this a good thing to round up?
Soon, this feeling of reading as a shared hatred of the enemy and writing as gloating greatly increased everyone's enthusiasm for shooting short dramas.
Hurry! We must tell all our future allies this good news as soon as possible! We want to see their beaming smiles and happy expressions!
Oops, I've been entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 34: Concealing the Truth
It is not easy to carry out a cover-up under the nose of the Interstellar Peace Company.
As everyone worked tirelessly to increase their leverage, they certainly didn't expect the shrewd and capable Miss Toppa to wait patiently for the three-day appointment. According to the Interstellar Peace Company's practices, comprehensive planetary monitoring and investigation was a fundamental requirement. With Interstellar's products now permeating every aspect of life, most planets held virtually no secrets for anyone willing to pay the price.
Once the scam is discovered and exposed, Yalilo 6 may not necessarily become a party star, but it will inevitably become a comedy star full of clowns.
Fortunately, even the most powerful surveillance methods could not defeat the power of the Star God. The Star Train, traveling on star tracks, using each planet as a platform along the way, did not need to pass through any necessary nodes on the trade route. How could the Interstellar Peace Company track it?
Although the extreme cold brought by the core of the star brought great disaster to this starry sky, it also blocked any sight from the starry sky.
So after some communication and planning, Ester, the "negotiator", soon boarded the Star Train and arrived at Yalilo 6, heading straight for Krippenburg.
At the same time, a group of special "passengers" in glass covers also arrived at the airport on the same train without anyone noticing, and were immediately transported to the snowy plains outside the city in the name of "military supplies".
Beyond the snowy plains, a massive set had already been constructed. Countless ice sculptures of the Antimatter Legion were smashed into fragments, then meticulously reassembled and glued together to create individual ice sculptures. After ensuring that each ice sculpture was derived from at least four bodies, and that even Nanook himself couldn't reanimate them, they were arranged in a circle, forming the appearance of an ancient battlefield, awaiting the arrival of the extras.
Soon, the poor "extras" who had just come out of the seal were tightly sealed by March 7's six-phase ice and then wrapped in a layer of ice and snow were carried one by one to the center of the exterior scene and completely merged with the surrounding ice sculptures.
Looking at the scene of the antimatter army's empty ice sculptures all over the mountains in the camera lens, the up-and-coming director and cameraman Sanyueqi nodded with satisfaction, raised his right hand and made a director's gesture seen in movies and TV dramas, and said happily:
"All departments in place, set, action!"
As March Seventh lifted the six-phase ice he had cast upon the "extras," the frozen Void Soldiers quickly regained consciousness. How could a simple ice shell stop them? With the crackling of ice and snow, the antimatter Void Soldiers awoke, each one gazing in bewilderment at the vast snowstorm surrounding them.
who I am? where am I? What am I doing?
However, before they could figure out the situation, with March Seventh's shout of "Cut! This one passed!", countless long-accumulated mysteries fell on the heads of the "extras" who were still unable to move, and instantly smashed them to pieces without receiving a single credit point in remuneration.
"The last one, make sure there's no sign of life. Okay, smash it and call it a day!"
No one dared to be careless with the Antimatter Corps. After confirming the deaths of each of the pawns and finishing them off, the entire crew finally smiled. After cleaning up the area, they climbed into their chariots and returned to Klipperburg for the wrap-up banquet and Ester's welcome party.
"Esther, long time no see. I missed you so much. Come and see the latest masterpiece by the famous director San Yue Qi!"
If we were to ask who is the biggest supporter of Jiang Yan's hard work, it would definitely be March 7, who has been smiling all the time recently.
Having found the greatest place to use her talents in the field she was most proud of, she began to regard herself as a "famous director" even though she had only shot two short videos. As soon as she entered Bronya's office, she rushed to Ester without saying a word, greeted her enthusiastically, and started to brag about herself.
"March, long time no see, and you, Xing." Estelle was also very enthusiastic towards her old friends on the Starry Sky Train. After greeting them, she turned to look at Jiang Yan and bowed slightly:
"Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you. Let's work hard together for the next period of time."
Jiang Yan's ruthless move, even requiring the Antimatter Corps to borrow their resources, completely unnerved Estelle in the space station. She couldn't even imagine how far the other party would push the situation if this tactic didn't work.
A universal locust plague? An anti-organic equation? Or perhaps just blowing up the entire planet? How could the space station deserve to have such a kind neighbor like you?
The distance between the Black Tower Space Station and Yalilo 6 is not particularly far, otherwise the Starry Sky Train would not choose this planet as the first stop after leaving the space station.
At this distance, if they really provoke the Lord of Extinction, the space station has already been attacked by the Doomsday Beast once, so it would be "on the way" no matter how you look at it.
Therefore, in order to fulfill the instructions of Ms. Heita and Ms. Ruan Mei, and to protect the space station from being destroyed by the ruthless creature in front of her, Esther, who usually rarely left the space station, made an exception and took the initiative to take on the task of transporting the virtual soldiers. The hidden meaning was obvious:
I'll help you negotiate, just keep your magical powers!
"Um, I'm so sorry to have troubled you, Miss Estella."
In this whole incident, no one was more innocent than Ester. She had nothing to do with it, yet because of the genius's willfulness, she was put on the spot. Now, frightened by his own cruelty, she had come running over, which made Jiang Yan feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, Esther had no intention of blaming Jiang Yan, and she waved her hands repeatedly and said:
"It doesn't matter. It's not your fault. Just treat it as a rare trip."
"Please rest assured, after everything is over, we will let Miss Ester enjoy a wonderful Sunshine Day." Bronya, who had a good chat with Ester before everyone returned, said.
"Okay, okay, we are all friends, so don't be so polite, let's watch the movie!" March 7 couldn't wait to interrupt the topic, turned off the lights and started the projection of the image.
The mountains are covered with ice sculptures of the antimatter army, the endless military formations, and the various ferocious expressions frozen in time. It is obviously just a temporary "set", but March 7th makes the film feel endless.
Soon, the camera zoomed in. Beneath the curtain of snow and wind, the ice surrounding the Void Soldier gradually cracked with a series of teeth-grinding crackling sounds, revealing half of its pitch-black mask. As the mask flashed red, a burst of black antimatter suddenly erupted around the Void Soldier, instantly engulfing the thick, solid ice shell.
The army that once nearly destroyed the entire planet now set foot on the ice and snow again, facing the city where miracles were born, and resumed their destructive journey that had been interrupted for seven hundred years.
Looking at this scene of rebirth after a natural disaster, Ester also quickly associated it with this hint, and the smile that had been on her face disappeared in an instant.
"No way! These... these virtual soldiers... won't they really thaw out so soon?"
The first "future ally" obviously could not accept what he saw.
Oops, I've been entangled by the Lord of Extinction! : Chapter 35 Hardcore Argument
Jiang Yan's strong medicine is really powerful.
Even though he told Ester the truth that there was no sign that the ice sculptures would be resurrected, Ester still signed a scientific research and monitoring cooperation agreement with Bronya without hesitation, and provided a large amount of "de-icing equipment" as a friendly support, proving the correctness of Bronya's speculation with her actions.
The reason is very simple. The Science Department of the Black Tower Space Station has already conducted some research on the life forms of the antimatter legion's virtual soldiers.
This group of strange beings, whose bodies are supplemented with antimatter by the "Furnace of War" and whose energy is provided by the vibration of negative particles in their bodies, can only be regarded as a kind of existence similar to energy creatures. Can they really be completely destroyed by long-term freezing?
The more they understood, the more terrified they became. Soon, King Jiji had another one. After the urgent orders to send a short video, dispatch a scientific expedition, and allocate supplies were issued, it was Ester who began to persuade Bronya and Jiang Yan to act decisively. She immediately found Toppa and persuaded her to help break the ice and leave.
