Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 525 Welcome to the Real World, King! Auxiliary Celestial Body – “Space-Based Ark”

Now that we have come to this world, and it seems that there is no way to go back in the short term, finding a relatively stable and reliable "belonging" in this strange new world becomes a problem that we must face.

King is well aware of his own abilities and limitations.

He could not possibly establish a country or power on his own; that was neither realistic nor what he desired.

Therefore, integrating into an existing, relatively well-ordered system is almost an inevitable choice.

Therefore, once he has a thorough understanding of the country that Ivan Reznov represents, and confirms that its overall environment, value orientation, and definition of "hero" meet his basic expectations and bottom line, then choosing to join is a perfectly normal thing.

Where there is light, there will inevitably be shadow; there is no pure land in the world where there is only "light".

Even within an organization that champions "justice," not everything is upright and honest. He has heard of or been aware of factional struggles, power struggles, and even the selfish desires and dark sides of some heroes.

His past choice to "escape" stemmed not only from his own powerlessness but also from an instinctive resistance and disappointment at being drawn into these complex conflicts.

The key issue is not whether "shadow" exists, but the balance and contrast between the power of "light" and "shadow".

As long as the "light" side, representing "justice," "order," and "hope," can consistently suppress the "shadow" as a whole;
As long as those negative things are kept within a controllable range, unable to erode the mainstream and the foundation of the country, and unable to reverse right and wrong or distort justice, then this country still has reasons to be trusted and relied upon.

Therefore, he only needs to pay attention to these points:
Does the prevailing will of this country tend toward good?
Can its system effectively restrain internal corruption?

What is its attitude towards "dimensional invaders" and powerful beings like him: exploitation, control, or cooperation and respect?
When faced with external threats and internal conflicts, can it uphold the principle of relative fairness?
The King doesn't expect this country to be a perfect "utopia." He only needs an environment that is generally positive and allows him to exert his power to protect something with peace of mind.

If the answer is mostly yes, then even if there are some unsatisfactory aspects, he is willing to try to integrate and become a part of that "light," protecting them in his own way.

Only when he has enough information can he make irresponsible choices.

It is not only about being responsible for yourself, but also about being responsible for those you may have to protect in the future.

When Ivan Reznov heard King's answer, he did not show any disappointment on his face. Instead, he nodded slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Although King will gradually grow into a truly trustworthy hero after meeting Saitama in the future, he is currently in the early stages of confusion and adaptation.

However, he has already shown the qualities that could make him a "hero" in the future.

A sense of responsibility, empathy, and the ability to think independently without blindly following others.

As for his country, Ivan Reznov has full confidence.

It may not be perfect, it may have taken detours, and it may have had its dark side.

However, as the tide of the times rolls forward, many long-standing problems have been faced up and vigorously eliminated; especially against the backdrop of the increasingly serious phenomenon of "dimensional invasion" and the turbulent global situation, maintaining stability, uniting people's hearts, and upholding justice and order have long been a consensus from top to bottom.

The prevailing will is undoubtedly inclined towards good and towards protection.

More importantly, Ivan Reznov himself was one of the key forces that propelled and ensured that this “light” would dominate!

Since gaining the recognition of Thor's hammer and becoming the main force and symbol of the nation's resistance against "mutated creatures" and "dimensional invasions," his voice and influence within the country have grown day by day.

They have already reached the decision-making level.

He used that influence to do many things.

He believes that as long as King is willing to learn, he will surely see the resilience, inclusiveness and responsibility that this country has shown in the face of tremendous changes.

"Understanding is the foundation of trust."

"I will tell you everything I know about the world and our country without reservation."

"Your choice afterward is entirely up to you."

"So."

"Welcome to our first stop in the real world, Mr. King."

Beyond Earth, in space not far from Mars.

A huge, elegant silver "shell" with a soft, moonlit glow floats quietly against the backdrop of Mars' rust-red color and the distant blue planet.

Unlike the menacing cannons and numerous weapon platforms of ordinary warships, this warship's outer wall was as smooth as a mirror, making it look nothing like a combat celestial body.

In fact, this was not a combat celestial body, but rather an auxiliary celestial body prepared for Ye Xuan by the Angel Civilization—"Celestial Ark".

After Ye Xuan smiled because of King's arrival, He Xi thought of this thing.

but
“I noticed it from Skyblade 7 onwards; your angels’ aesthetic sense might be a bit off.”

Do you really think this thing is beautiful?

Ye Xuan looked at the celestial body in front of him, which resembled a giant seashell.

Although he had a general understanding of the angels' aesthetic sense from the appearance of the Skyblade 7, this warship was still somewhat abstract.

"Isn't that natural?"

"Elegant, sacred, and full of the rhythm of life."

"It can only be said that human appreciation level is still too backward and needs a long period of cultivation."

He Xi said with dissatisfaction, "This was my carefully designed piece. Not only did Ye Xuan not offer any praise, but he actually thought it was ugly? Angels' aesthetic sense is among the best in the entire known universe!"
"Heh, whatever makes you happy."

Ye Xuan shrugged. Anyway, he didn't know anything about art before the spiritual energy revival. Maybe this appearance was perfect in the eyes of those who really understood "art"?
"Humph."

He Xi listened to Ye Xuan's words, slightly raised her chin, and then flew towards a certain spot on the smooth hull of the "Shell" warship.

The ship in front of her rippled like water, and an entrance that fit her figure opened silently, emitting a soft and pure light.

Ye Xuan followed, his figure blending into the water as easily as he passed through the light membrane.

After the two entered, the entrance quietly closed, and the ship's hull returned to its flawless, smooth surface.

Within this seemingly enclosed silver shell, a vibrant ecological world, far beyond what the outside world could imagine, like a paradise, suddenly came into view!
They were standing on the edge of a towering cliff, with a vast, lush, central continent below.

In the distance, the continuous ring-shaped mountain ranges act as a natural barrier, their peaks covered in snow that shimmers under the simulated bright sunlight.

Several winding rivers, like blue ribbons, originate from the mountains, flow through dense forests and open valleys, and finally merge into the shimmering blue ocean that surrounds the continent.

The "sky" above was a clear azure blue, with a few wisps of white clouds drifting by. The light was soft and natural, and you could not feel that you were inside a starship!

"Welcome to the core area of ​​the 'Eco Ark'."

He Xi's voice rang out from the side, carrying an undisguised pride, as if she were showing off her most prized work.

She slightly opened her arms, as if to embrace the world she had created with her own hands.

"Here, spatial folding and ecological simulation technologies have been used to create a self-circulating micro-world with a diameter of over 120 kilometers."

She lightly tapped the air with her fingertips, and an extremely detailed holographic projection instantly unfolded, clearly marking the macroscopic structure and microscopic details of the entire small world.

"Look at these soils. Through special genetic and energy modulation, they are highly compatible and can cultivate almost the vast majority of known plant species in the universe without discrimination. Their growth cycle and yield have been optimized."

"Look at this water cycle system. From the melting of snow on the mountains to the formation of surface runoff and underground rivers, and then to the ocean, evaporation to form clouds, and rain, the whole cycle is precise and efficient, and the water quality is always kept at the optimal standard."

"And this sky barrier can not only simulate the natural alternation of day and night, the changing seasons and various weather phenomena, but also adjust the light intensity, spectral composition and atmospheric composition according to needs to ensure the stability and comfort of the internal ecosystem."

At this point, He Xi seemed to suddenly remember something special, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved upwards.

With a deft flick of her finger, the macroscopic scene on the holographic projection quickly converged and transformed, replaced by thousands of plant models of various shapes and sizes.

“Angel Yan told me last time that you like planting and the feeling of harvest, but I didn’t expect that you would still have such interests at this level.”

"I have prepared some interesting crop seeds from the known universe for you."

"Although the world is different and the rules are different, the basic physical and biological laws are still the same."

"These seeds should be able to grow here, right? You can give it a try."

After speaking, without waiting for Ye Xuan's response, He Xi raised her right hand and gently brushed her five fingers in the air.

The holographic image changed rapidly again, the perspective zoomed in quickly, and focused on a superb location on the edge of the central continent, nestled between mountains and water.

What comes into view are several buildings that blend perfectly with the surrounding natural environment.

The style is futuristic, making extensive use of smooth curves and transparent energy materials, but cleverly borrowing from the mountain and water features. Some parts are half-embedded in the mountain, some are connected to the small island in the lake by transparent corridors, and some have a wide terrace that extends to the water.

"This is the dwelling place inside the celestial body."

"It's equipped with the basic features of an angel, but of course, you can adjust it according to your own ideas at any time."

"There's not much to say."

Because these things weren't difficult, He Xi only briefly mentioned them when introducing them.

But things changed later.

"Although it is an auxiliary celestial body, its function is not just as simple as farming and living."

She pointed to an area deep beneath the central continent, surrounded by a massive cluster of crystals.

"This is the 'brain' of the warship, equipped with a space-based computing cloud secondary node."

"You have enough computing power to squander as you please."

"Precisely controlling the entire ecosystem, conducting ultra-long-distance communication, and carrying out large-scale strategic simulations—all of these are possible."

"Then there's the space-based database."

As He Xi spoke, she switched the image to a vast database visualization model that appeared to be composed of countless points of light.

"This is a backup repository of civilization."

"It stores some of the technological, historical, and cultural data accumulated by the Angel Civilization over tens of thousands of years, as well as data on millions of known civilizations and races in the universe."

"But that's only part of it; don't even think about more."

"You don't need it either."
