Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 250 The Star Gods Prepare, the Serpent God Takes the Lead

"Based on the Legion's comprehensive AI capacity calculations, I think there's a problem with our mission."

On another battlefield, the machine legion was currently wiping out all the snake people in the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, the legion's machine commander and the captains of the various battalions were gathered together to observe the battlefield.

"I second that. According to the calculations, and given the size and scale of the human cities we've rescued so far, even the gods of this world should have realized it long ago."

"But so far, we have not encountered any obstacles, not even any so-called divine inquiries."

A robot captain replied calmly.

"I second that. There is a problem, but due to a lack of key information, we are currently unable to determine exactly where the problem lies."

The robot legion commander looked at his AI robot subordinates with a thoughtful gaze, which revealed a touch of humanity.

There are three results from the capacity calculation.

"First, the gods of this world are already struggling to cope with the unknown giants from outside, and are no longer able to attend to the mortal world. This can be concluded from the fact that some of the priests' prayers are still not being answered."

"Second, the gods of this world are already aware of our existence. Even the two lords of the Empire are under the gods' surveillance. So, it is very likely that these gods are waiting for the arrival of our Star Empire, hoping to reap the benefits from it."

"Third, although the gods do not know where we come from and are watching us, they do not make contact or communicate with us. What they want is simply to rely on us as a third-party force to break the current chaos in the mortal world and ultimately hope to reap all the benefits from us."

"So, what do you all think we should do now?"

Although different high-level robots use the same core computing chip, the materials used in their manufacture vary to some extent.

Especially after being exposed to magical materials, these high-level robots are not simply intelligent mechanical creations.

They have the potential to develop their own spirituality, and therefore, different advanced robots possess different ways of thinking.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the robot legion commander would raise questions.

After all, each of them is an independent AI computing core, rather than a low-level synchronous AI computing robot.

"Hard to say."

"But for now, our task is to continue."

"To save as many people as possible in this world and to proclaim the benevolence and glory of the Empire."

"As for the affairs of the gods, whatever the reason, their non-interference is actually a good thing for our mission, isn't it?"

A cyborg captain responded calmly.

"That's true on the surface, but we've been spending a lot lately and are now struggling to make ends meet."

"This has exceeded our initial calculations and expectations."

"I suggest that we take some time to rest and recuperate. Also, if the gods continue to refrain from interfering, we should perhaps start building the AI ​​factory."

"At the very least, we must ensure that the production of low-ranking infantry can keep up with the consumption."

Another voice rang out, but soon another robot said that it was difficult to do.

After all, this place is extremely poor. Even if their legion could establish all the basic factories, it would take a considerable amount of time.

Besides, the empire can't wait that long.

Instead of worrying about the consumption, we should save more people.

Thus, when the Empire arrives and the Empire's Omnic Goddess 'Anita' links with them, they might be able to gain more Omnic privileges based on their contributions.

They can even apply to participate in the Empire's latest research project on the birth of intelligent machine spirits.

The Empire has been researching this project for quite some time.

Currently, the most powerful intelligent robots, even without any technological means, already possess strength comparable to ordinary demigods.

Silicon-based life truly began to sprout in the empire.

It's not just something you say.

Even the projects promoted by the AI ​​God 'Anita' were put on the agenda by the 'Artificial God'.

However, there are still many hurdles to overcome in this matter.

For example, how to give true intelligent life forms a level of intelligence comparable to that of normal carbon-based life forms.

It could even be accepted by Mana's will.

Therefore, the Omnic God 'Anita' is in contact with the God of the Dead.

He intends to use the pure soul power of those undead whose memories have been stripped away to integrate into the core of the omnic, creating a new soul belonging to the omnic.

This is the first project that the current Omnic God 'Anita' is most concerned about and directly promoting.

Therefore, at this moment, even the high-level robots of the Star Empire have developed certain willpower and have their own desires and goals.

"Our ultimate goal is to save humanity. Once the Imperial army arrives, our legion will no longer have the leisure we have now."

In the end, the robot army chose to save people first.

As for the consumption, it can be managed as long as the legion's size does not fall below one hundred.

Furthermore, low-tier cyborg nuclear bomb infantry are expendable resources anyway.

So, while the intelligent robots were still trying their best to rescue every human city they could reach,

On the side of the Star Empire, the gods had already gathered.

"The astral gate is almost through."

"Gentlemen, now that we've reached this point, do you have anything else to say?"

"If so, please do so as soon as possible. After all, I don't think you all want someone to hold you back when it comes to actually getting things done."

At this moment, the 'Seven Gods,' who held secondary management authority in the real game, were watching the figures of divine thrones amidst the milky white clouds, bathed in sacred light.

"What else is there to say?"

“Since you are the agents of the ‘True Creator,’ we will naturally obey your orders.”

"However, I'll say it again: I am not convinced by the identities you have been given!"

"What right do these mere new gods of weak and medium power have to obtain the status of 'creator's agent,' or even command us?"

"This time, when the mission is completed, I will explain the pros and cons to that person, or even the true creator."

"I just hope that by then, you little guys will still be as arrogant as you are now."

Within the clouds of holy light, the figure representing the sea gods, seated at the forefront and on the largest throne, spoke with hostility.

The seven gods exchanged a glance, and then all laughed.

They didn't even take the words of this arrogant sea god to heart.

The true Creator?

That's the real game, and the privileges of the real game are given to Earth players.

The fact that this person still doesn't understand himself really made Cheng Ge and the others burst into laughter.

"Has Your Excellency Ludovico misunderstood something?"

"We have no authority over you gentlemen."

"After all, we are all working for His Majesty the Dragon God and the Creator. As for our role as agents, well, if Your Majesty can persuade the Dragon God and the Creator, we will naturally have no objections."

"Now that you mention this, I'm actually quite curious."

It was Cheng Ge who spoke, looking towards the human deities.

"Ms. Gwyneth, I wonder if you share the same thoughts as His Excellency Ludovico?"

Upon hearing this, the Storm Goddess's expression turned somewhat displeased.

After all, she was a supreme god. For the god of the dead to ask questions in such a tone as a weak god made Him feel somewhat disrespected.

However, this person saw things clearly in this matter.

Therefore, even though his expression was displeased, he still said indifferently:

"I have nothing to say to this barbarian."

"Your Excellency need not probe further."

"However, I must say, if it weren't for your status as an agent, I think that both on our side and among the sea tribes, there would definitely be many who would want to get closer to you."

Despite the Storm Goddess's displeasure, Cheng Ge took off without taking it seriously.

Instead, he smiled and said:
"Closeness? Closeness is good."

"After all, everyone is working for my 'brother'."

"So, if anyone wants to get closer to me someday, why don't you let me call you 'elder brother' too?"

As soon as Cheng Ge said "Take off," the Storm Goddess frowned.

But he said nothing more.

The other gods remained silent.

Unlike the newly awakened ocean currents and tsunami gods, most of the gods here had never truly witnessed the terror of Linko before.

Face Him.

What about supreme gods and weaker deities? In reality, everyone is the same.

Therefore, in the eyes of many wise deities, the words of the sea god were merely the words of a gullible person, not to be taken seriously.

As for Cheng Ge, as the god of the dead, he has been able to cause a great disturbance among the gods all these years while still maintaining a safe and secure life.

This is partly due to his control over secondary permissions in the real game, but more so because the gods already know the details of Cheng Ge's rise to power.

Who is He?
Although this god of the dead is a weak god, he was the dragon god's contract partner before the dragon god ascended to godhood.

They can be considered direct subordinates of the Dragon God.

It might be okay to hurl a few insults, after all, this person's personality is naturally flamboyant and irritating.

But if a real fight breaks out, that would be a different story.

Even though this person seemed arrogant, he at least had a method to his actions and never actively provoked conflicts or hostility between the gods.

After all.

Even within the Star Empire, with its numerous gods and a mix of old and new deities, small factions are inevitable. Furthermore, the continent of Auckland itself has been excluded from the Star Empire's administrative system by Linko, existing as an autonomous planet.

But these problems are not major.

After all, there is an absolute 'ruler' like Linco above all the gods.

Therefore, as long as Lin Ke exists, it is unlikely that major problems will arise internally.

As for the small hills inside, that's normal for forestry science.

Wherever there are people and intelligent beings, such things will inevitably happen.

They expect genuine harmony and mutual respect within the organization.

That's just wishful thinking.

Besides, when everyone in a group or organization is all getting along harmoniously, that may not necessarily be a good thing.

That's not harmony, that's lifelessness, that's stagnant water.

After all, competition is what drives motivation.

Therefore, Lin Ke might not actually care about minor incidents.

As long as they don't cause trouble inside the planet, or even really fight to the death, Lin Ke will just watch and have some fun.

This is the benefit and confidence of having absolute strength.

"Hmph! A petty person who has gotten his way!!!"

The ocean god was not a truly stupid god.

Otherwise, they wouldn't just make empty threats without taking any real action.

"A true villain is always better than a hypocrite!"

"Alright, I think everyone has no more objections!"

"That's settled then. But let me make this clear from the start: if you don't do your best in the future, I won't hesitate to give you a hard time."

Cheng Ge doesn't care about saving face at all when he takes off, and he speaks very directly.

This truly displeased most of the gods.

Only a few deities who knew Cheng Ge Qifei's true nature, such as the God of Truth, were amazed by Cheng Ge Qifei's willingness to take on the role of a 'petty person'.

"What a villain."

"awesome."

It has to be said that even logic geniuses and others have to admire Cheng Ge's audacity in taking off.

"What can I do if I don't want to be a bad person?"

"The few of us only have average divine strength. Facing these old folks who have died once, we can't do without some threatening methods. After all, we're not the chief."

Cheng Ge, seemingly unconcerned, shrugged at his group.

"If you want things to get done well, you have to use the appropriate methods."

"What's the point of saving face!"

"Besides, even if someone dislikes me, at most they'll beat me up, what else can they do?"

"And even if they want to hit me, they'd better think carefully about the consequences of offending me, since petty people are hard to deal with."

"I reckon that in their eyes I'm not much different from the eunuchs who serve the emperor in the palace."

"Pfft, you know that too!" The little sweetheart couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Eunuch Li? Haha, I must say, you really did look like him just now." Not Tea Master also laughed out loud.

"."

So, amidst the teasing of the crowd, the gods quickly began to act in unison.

However, the location where the gods gathered this time has changed.

It's not in the astral plane of the continent of Calter, but in the astral plane of the Crimson World.

The reason is simple: due to the crystal wall characteristics of the Crimson World, there is no fear of being found in one's hometown, and there is even a chance to shut down and beat someone. That's all.

This time is different from the last time.

Last time, the entire Star Empire had only seventy-seven deities.

And now, the number of gods in the Star Empire has successfully exceeded one hundred.

Including the thirteen blood ancestors.

In addition to the new gods who ascended to godhood and the old gods who were revived in the subsequent empire, the Star Empire now has more than a hundred gods.

Not to mention, there are seven main gods among them.

However, none of the five main gods of the Crimson World, who are also the top five Blood Ancestors, will move.

Because the will of Mana in the Crimson World still needs their assistance to erode the real game at the fastest speed.

Even if these five Blood Gods at the level of Main Gods cannot move.

The other eight Blood Gods with high-level divine power were about to be moved.

Soon enough, in the astral plane of the Crimson World, nearly a hundred deities had already lined up in front of a stargate several kilometers in diameter on one side, ready to go.

We're just waiting for the moment the stargate opens.

The gods waited in silence, while a large number of starships were also making preparations around the starry sea.

For a moment, the entire starry sea seemed to fall silent.

at last.

"It's open!!!"

The real game notification appeared the instant Cheng Ge took off and spoke.

The gods immediately prepared to act.

but!
"Sigh~"

Suddenly, a terrifying, extremely hoarse voice, even one that seemed to challenge the very spirits of the gods, emanated from the star gate.

"quick!!!"

"Damn it, I knew it! Things wouldn't be that simple!"

As Cheng Ge took off, he flew backward rapidly while cursing loudly.

The mission was supposedly to awaken the giant serpent god, but the gods had long considered the possibility that the giant serpent god might have always been awake!

They even considered the possibility of being attacked the moment the star gate opened.

But this is only the worst-case scenario.

To everyone's surprise, the worst-case scenario actually happened!

This also means that the gods definitely have nothing to do this time!

These terrifying creatures are far beyond their ability to deal with!
Even as the gods retreated, they saw the star gate collapsing!

However, the collapsed stargate did not simply disappear.

On the contrary, space itself shattered where the stargate collapsed.

Turbulence and storms in the subspace constantly spray and siphon into the material world.

During this period, three unfortunate new gods were even born because they had only recently ascended to godhood and lacked sufficient power.

While paralyzed by the terrifying roar, they were caught off guard and sucked into the turbulent flow of the subspace, disappearing completely!

It's not that they died.

But the situation is certainly not much better.

Seeing this, the gods were clearly not in a good mood!

After all, they had already lost three deities before even getting started, which was a huge embarrassment.

However, the reality didn't give them any time to think it over.

Because, in the very next moment, amidst the collapsing subspace turbulence, a terrifying, pitch-black head emerged.

Its head, like an ancient, solitary peak, floats high in the vast darkness.

A pair of enormous eyes, like the cores of two dried-up and collapsed planets, churned with unfathomable dark vortexes.

As those eyelids opened and closed, it was as if a dark abyss had opened its cold, lifeless eyes.

Beneath its eyes, the abyss slowly opened, its bottomless depths like an ancient void trap.

Inside the cave entrance, fangs are arranged like a mountain range, each one resembling the sharp edges of a shattered star. The jagged teeth gleam with a cold light, their sharpness seemingly capable of cleaving through time and space.

The thick, viscous, poisonous saliva dripped like a river of light, meandering down from between the teeth, corroding the surrounding space as if a decaying mural were peeling away.

Just the moment I saw that terrifying thing.

Even the gods who had seen Lin Ke before were terrified.

Such a terrifying existence even reminded the gods of the Auckland world of the Black Flame World, and of the two terrifying Black Flame creatures they encountered when they perished.

"This? This is the guy we were told to wake up?"

At this moment, even the sea god couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"I thought so, but now it seems this guy is definitely not so easy to deal with."

"Next, we can only rely on His Majesty."

A high-ranking deity of the sea race had a slightly bitter expression on his lips.

Ancient creatures, ancient deities.

It truly makes even the gods of lower beings seem insignificant.

In such a terrifying interstellar world, it's incredibly fortunate that the continent of Auckland has been able to exist for so long.

Or perhaps it's because the Star Empire has Dragon Gods and True Creators, making it seem too powerful, that it keeps encountering such beings.
