Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 208

208. Chapter 208, 7777 points of grace!

The terrifying sky fire fell on the sea.

Brigadier General Ye Lishia’s order was resolutely executed by all officers and soldiers on the Claw Tiger.

Twenty minutes, five rounds of firepower, what does this mean? It is

probably equivalent to a full-scale bombardment of the Quintet excluding the two high-standard firepowers of [Wrath of the Loyal Heir] and [Hot Hammer].

100 rounds of “Scalpel” shipborne missiles are equivalent to half of the Quintet’s previous round of launches; the bombardment of 100 rounds of Defender kinetic cannons is actually less effective than that of the scalpel missiles, but it can be regarded as the same.

Although the overall firepower is much worse, the key is that the place where the Quintet had to fight was much larger than it is now.

At that time, there was an entire urban cluster with a large number of buildings left over from the pre-war era, which objectively served as shelters for those greenskins, and the cost-effectiveness of firepower was quite low.

But here, the space is small.

Two kilometers long and one kilometer wide, the area was the size of a village at most. After the firepower fell, the force on the unit space was quite large.

Martins sat on the wind falcon and watched silently.

In fact, he could not see anything.

When the first round of attacks fell, the smoke and fire in the sky had already densely covered the offshore platform, especially the central tower.

With the experience and vision of the war captain, he could fully judge that the current attack force was actually far beyond the need.

In theory, he could be a real man and never look back at the explosion.

But in fact, it was not possible.

The current firepower attack was enough to deal with this group of buildings. But no one dared to guarantee whether it could cause fatal damage to the demon engine and the Great Unclean One hidden deep at the bottom of the building.

This was Martins’s biggest uncertainty.

He had seen the strength of the Great Demon.

Although, compared with the world destroyed by the plague demon, what he encountered today was much weaker – otherwise he would have been killed with a single sword.

But even so, he was still worried.

The main reason was that the memories of the past were too terrifying.

A demon that could withstand the bombardment of ship cannons with its flesh… It would be very difficult to kill it even if multiple chapter champions cooperated. The only one who could defeat it in a single fight was the legendary Emperor’s Chosen.

But Emperor’s Chosen… There was only one top warrior with such a title and strength in the entire Phoenix’s thousands of years of history. Chapters with a slightly shallower history may not have had such warriors from their establishment to the present.

So, he was reluctant to leave.

He tried hard to eat a lot of nutritional paste and synthetic starch to replenish the necessary energy needed by the body. The evolved superhuman organ of the Space Marine: the iron stomach, quickly digested the food and converted it into energy.

Although I dare not guarantee it, who knows if there will be a desperate battle later?

He had to try his best to keep himself in good condition.

Martins had decided to go to the field to investigate the effect of the firepower strike after the orbital firepower strike.

He hoped the effect would be good.

Twenty minutes passed quickly. After the rumbling explosions, the smoke cleared and Feng Falcon brought them back to the sky above the sea.

The offshore platform was no longer what it was at the beginning.

Almost all the pipelines, tanks, and buildings on the sea were destroyed by the terrifying firepower.

The zombies in the tanks were physically freed.

Those deformed monsters and cultists who had survived before would definitely not survive such a blow.

But these were not what the people on Feng Falcon were concerned about.

Martins looked at the building in the center of the offshore platform, which had been completely blown down. The backflow of seawater had filled it up.

It was impossible to see anything just by looking at it this way.

He ordered Feng Falcon to descend.

The special forces of the 10th Brigade could not help with the next thing, so there was no need to let them go down.

Martins left Feng Falcon with only his three combat brothers and jumped to the unrecognizable offshore platform.

The main structures here had been destroyed by the orbital strike and were slowly sinking. More and more water poured in. According to the current progress, it would take at most thirty minutes for the supporting structure below to completely lose its effectiveness, and the entire offshore platform would sink completely to the bottom of the sea.

But this did not affect what they were going to do next.

Martins led his men and jumped in from a hole that was blown out and filled with seawater.

According to their training, the Space Marines would of course face all combat environments under the stars. The life support system provided by their power armor was enough for them to fight in the oceans of the strong acid environment of some planets, not to mention the ordinary seawater of the Wrathful Owl Star.

Moreover, after switching to the underwater combat mode, the several-ton iron lump could also move in the water, but it was not so convenient.

After entering the underwater environment, it took them a while to find the place where they had fought before.

This process was quite difficult. The previous bombing had completely destroyed the building structure here. They wanted to find the original place, just like walking through a maze, and they also had to remove obstacles in the middle.

But after spending some time, they still did it.

After finding the original place, they saw a body that was half dissipated and suspected to be a demon. It

was completely in disarray.

In Rizzo’s judgment, it should not have been bombed, but after the demon engine was destroyed, because it lost its profound connection with the chaos, the Great Unclean One had no way to continue to exist in the real world.

The remaining body was still evaporating rapidly.

Next to it, they saw a fragment of a demon engine that was suspected to be blown up.

The abyss rift had disappeared.

“This should be considered complete, right?” Martins asked uncertainly.

Rizzo closed his eyes, sensed it carefully, and then replied, “It should be.”

“Then I’m relieved.”

At this moment, Martins received another communication message from the Wind Falcon.

This message was passed on twice and came from Renaissance City.

Governor Gu Hang sent the message to the starship, which then sent it to Feng Falcon, who then passed it to him.

“Bring back the things that were left behind after the Great Demon’s body disappeared.”

Martins and Rizzo looked at each other, both of them a little confused.

They had finally managed to get through the submerged building wreckage and found this place all the way to confirm the results of the battle. How did Governor Gu, who was thousands of miles away, know that the Great Demon must be dead?

…

Gu Hang saw it from the [Event] panel.

He didn’t know any news about the Great Demon at first. After all, Martins and others broke into the lower level of the central tower and encountered a strong enemy, so they had no time to send out news.

It was not until the time of orbital bombardment that he learned the information from the Blade Tiger.

Then, the moment he got the news, a new message popped up in his [Event] panel:

[The Great Unclean One – Gowaga]

[Gowaga is not the real name of the Great Unclean One, but it is the name he is using now. He is about to tear open the curtain between the abyss and reality, and bring his army to descend on the Wrathful Owl Star. This is a catastrophe, what should you do? ]

The moment he saw the news, he was really shocked.

Oh my God, is it so exciting?

What is the virtue of the Wrathful Owl Star? Is it qualified to be targeted by a big demon?

What is wrong with this planet? Why can it encounter all kinds of monsters?

To be honest, if Gu Hang did not have the system in his hand, he would have died countless times when he came to this place. Even if he had a great skill, he would have solved the problems that many previous governors could not solve, and he consolidated the alliance and all the survivors. But if any threat, whether it was the greenskin disaster or the demon disaster, took root, it would be the end.

Even if he had a system, whether it was the greenskin disaster or the demon disaster, it was not something that the Angry Owl Star, which had not yet developed, could perfectly solve.

Gu Hang, who was in the rear, was even thinking about whether to take a flight and go to the south in person. After all,

he was a level 5 psychic, and he was not inferior to Martins in a single fight, so he could be of some use.

Anyway, if it really came to the worst result, he would be dead. Either he would die in the bloody battle with the endless demons on the Angry Owl Star, or he would die in the subsequent trial of the empire. Such a big problem on the planet might even affect other star regions, and he, the governor, could not escape.

In any case, the matter had to be resolved in the budding stage.

But fortunately, things did not come to that point.

After he was on tenterhooks for about an hour, new news appeared on the [Event] panel:

[Great Unclean One – Gowaga (solved)]

[Great Unclean One – Gowaga has been expelled back to the Chaos Abyss. This time, it will have to recover from its injuries for a while.]

[Reward: 7777 Graces]

[Optional Graces: After the Great Unclean One Gowaga was expelled, the Chaos Essence that he did not have time to escape from was condensed on his rusty giant sword. Spend 777 points of grace and you can transform it into a holy weapon that can be used by humans.]

…

Looking at this message, Gu Hang felt a little scared.

The reward given by this grace point is very large, but this number…why is it weird?

Moreover, the Chaos Essence left by a Plague Demon, this thing is used as a holy weapon, as a weapon?

It doesn’t die fast enough, right?

The grace points required for transformation are also 777…

However, Gu Hang also paid attention to the words “usable by humans” mentioned in this description.

If that’s the case, it seems, maybe, probably… it’s really possible?

The point is, I’ve only heard of this thing called a holy weapon in legends before.

What if it’s really powerful?

It’s only about 777 points of grace, so I’ll spend it.

Anyway, there are still 7,000 left.

So, he gritted his teeth and exchanged this optional reward.

[Weak Holy Weapon: Purifying God Plague Greatsword (Fake)]

[It contains a small part of the Chaos Origin of a Great Unclean One. After being purified, it can be used by humans. ]

[The person holding it has the effect of +2 Constitution and +2 Spirituality. This bonus is invalid after exceeding 22 points. ]

[The person holding it is immune to the effects of plague and disease. ]

[The greatsword has a similar gravity field; the greatsword has the ‘must hit’ feature that can be activated once a day. ]

[After being purified, the weak holy weapon still has a very low probability of becoming a bridge to communicate with the abyss, so that the owner will occasionally hear whispers from its original owner. Those with weak wills cannot use it. 】

…

Looking at this thing, Gu Hang felt a little bit of a toothache.

This thing is very strong, especially for people who are already very strong.

The spiritual and physical attributes are both +2. According to the system’s algorithm, it means that the holder’s physical fitness will be more than doubled on the basis of his original body; the same is true for spirituality.

With it, Gu Hang is equivalent to directly upgrading one level.

With it, the level of a company champion like Martins can reach the level of hard power of a serious Space Marine captain.

However, Gu Hang was a little entangled and hesitant about the information written on the back of this weak holy weapon that it would be affected by the abyss.

He himself didn’t want to use it.

On the one hand, he was not a warrior, and he couldn’t use the enhancement of physical attributes and the following two characteristics; and in the future, there would probably not be many opportunities for him to fight and go to the battlefield in person. The equipment effect he could bring out was mainly the two spiritualities.

On the other hand, Gu Hang didn’t want to try it himself to see if the abyss corrosion could affect him. He didn’t think he was a person with an unsteady mind, but there was no need to gamble, not even with a one in ten thousand chance.

The most suitable person to use this weak holy weapon is Martins.

But that person…

Gu Hang is more worried about his willpower.

He is a Space Marine, and a Chapter Commander who has gone through the Redemption Crusade and is now responsible for rebuilding the Chapter. He is also a company champion. Logically speaking, he is definitely a man of strong will.

But after he came to the Angry Owl Star, his performance of being PUA by Gu Hang made people dare not be completely assured.

Even if the probability of the Whisper of the Abyss happening is very low, the probability of Martins being corrupted is also very low. But no matter how low it is, as long as it is not zero, Gu Hang is not willing to gamble.

It is a good thing to have one more good equipment, but it is not good if there is any big problem because of it.

Martins should use his exquisite power sword.

“Did I waste more than 700 points of grace?”

“It’s a waste, so that this sword wouldn’t sink into the sea. What if this sword with the essence of a great demon does something weird again?”

“It was purified by the system, and then put away and kept under strict supervision, which is better than leaving it out in the open.”

Gu Hang could only comfort himself in this way.

In general, the harvest this time was very large.

This was a huge gift reward, the largest and unexpected reward Gu Hang had ever received.

He felt like he had made a fortune.

Although it may seem useless, at least there are fewer weaker holy weapons with hidden dangers.

And the biggest gain is that a crisis that could have destroyed the world has been eliminated!
