Chapter 1030: Blitz (1)
Night fell.
The last radiance of the sun vanished underneath the horizon, only to be replaced by darkness that enfolded the world. The clouds drifting in the air were also smeared in a dark hue. However, no one noticed the invisible, mighty strength surging within the dense layers of clouds. The surging airwaves ripped through the clouds. The pitch-black steel reflected the final trace of sunlight like it was the back of a cloud monster. Then, it disappeared once again.
“No matter how many times I look at it, it still feels unbelievable.”
Standing on the bridge of the warship and gazing ahead at the splitting sea of clouds, Rhode muttered under his breath. At a single glance, the entire bridge was quiet and methodically busy. A dozen young ladies with white, long hair sat before a control panel constructed from mysterious runes, attentively controlling the massive warship. Even though they had different appearances, they had a common feature. Hanging on both sides of their temple were some cable-like objects connected to the control panel before them, flickering in a gentle radiance.
“I didn’t expect you to finish constructing the magic warship in such a short time. I’m impressed, Karin.”
Rhode spoke, turning around and looking at the young lady beside him who placed her hands on the control panel in the shape of a square column and carved with mysterious patterns and symbols. The control panel emanated an array of colorful magical brilliance, before slowly fading away in a flash. In fact, after using the card to summon Karin’s subordinates, this was the first time Rhode found out that it was Karin who first suggested creating the ‘Humanoids’. The reason was actually really simple. During the battle against Chaos, not even the undead creatures could uphold the endless source of energy. The time required for pure reproduction was too long, so Karin suggested creating ‘Humanoids’ for battles instead. Perhaps this technology was considered the bottom line against moral conscience in the world where Rhode came from, but as long as the people of the Dragon Soul Continent could defeat evil with it, they would do it at any means. Thereafter, Karin took on the creation process of the ‘Humanoids’ with the Deity Warden of ‘Marlene’ in the past and the ‘Humanoids’ became their units in battles.
“This is nothing, Your Majesty.”
Hearing Rhode’s praise, Karin pushed up her glasses. Her eyes flowed with endless magic signals.
“We can’t afford to waste any time in the battle against Chaos. If we can’t produce weapons sufficient to resist Chaos in a short period of time, we will not be able to survive.”
“But this is already impressive.”
“The time has come.”
Rhode stepped onto the middle of the hall, where Mini Bubble Gum and Canary waited at his left and right positions. Lilian gazed in silence at everyone, her eyes reflecting this unprecedented scene. But it was also due to this that it gave her heart unwavering faith.
“I suppose all of you are aware by now of where we’re heading, who we’re facing, and what we’re about to do.” Rhode said, looking at everyone.
“Everyone! This is war. Their ignorance has led the world into this catastrophe. The world belongs to us and this is the reason why we’re standing here now. We will eradicate the source of the threat and punish the ignorant fools, using blood and death to teach them to respect and revere. They breached the contract, so they deserved to be punished! Now, we shall use devastation to announce what exactly they should have done. Everyone, this is war…”
He paused before shifting his gaze to Lilian.
“There is no right or wrong in war. There is no justice or evil in war. There is only victory and failure. We didn’t come here to lose, so raise your weapons and destroy everything that is stopping you. Turn this place into a sea of flame and make this blasphemous place burn in raging blaze. It… will eventually turn into hell to warn us of the enemies we will be and are facing, who we are, and why we stand here and battle. We will return their treatment of us by 10 times. Revenge, destruction, and death shall bring them fear and we will reclaim the things we lost. Lilian, since you have made up your mind, you must watch until the very end. Remember, Lilian, this isn’t only for you. It is also for the former dragon soul heirs. For this moment, you understand, don’t you?”
“… Yes, Big Brother Rhode. I understand.”
Upon sensing his gaze, Lilian clenched her fists and nodded determinedly.
After hearing her answer, Rhode turned around and raised his right arm. Once again, a vibrant, gentle, and elegant smile like artwork appeared on his face.
“Alright then, let’s begin this war.”
Everything was in complete silence. All sounds had as though vanished in this moment, except for Mini Bubble Gum’s whisper-like singing that resounded in the dark, peaceful night sky.
“Heute wollen wir ein Liedlen singen, trinken wollen wir dir kuhlen Wein. Und die Glaser sollen dazu Klingen, denn die muss es muss geschieden sein…”
