Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 238

238. Chapter 238, Can I also ascend to become a god?

Gu Hang, who landed on the ground, was really tired.

He stopped the original angry owl’s efforts to escape back to its own country and get rid of the interlayer of the reality curtain. In the evil god’s final madness, Gu Hang took on tremendous pressure.

If it were him before the upgrade, he would not be able to bear it.

In fact, even if he was upgraded, he could not hold on.

He could hold on for two main reasons: the original angry owl was weakened by more than one level because it was in the interlayer of the reality curtain; and Gu Hang, as a psychic, entered the real world and was closer to the source of power. The psychic power he could mobilize increased by more than one level.

This increase and decrease gave Gu Hang the opportunity to kill the gods with his mortal body, allowing him to create such a great feat.

But no matter what, killing the gods is always a reality. After that, he should ascend to become a god!

The original angry owl is dead, but the part of the ‘essence of the real world’ it represents is right in front of Gu Hang, trapped in the gap of the reality curtain by his psychic power.

Next, he can grab this ball of ‘essence of the real world’ in his hand, swallow, digest, and merge it.

From then on, he can replace it and become the new ‘God of Storms’.

Ordinary mortals, of course, don’t have this opportunity. But Gu Hang is different. The real world has opened its arms to him and accepted his existence.

As long as he wants, he can.

A golden road is laid out in front of him. As long as he takes a few steps forward, he will get rid of his mortal body and become an immortal and eternal god.

This is a road like an emperor. He already has the opportunity to start. As long as he takes a few more steps forward…

…

The evil god fell and his body gradually dissipated.

The warriors saw this scene from afar.

Everyone cheered!

To be honest, seeing a monster as big as a mountain that once existed only in religious mythology become an enemy, who wouldn’t be scared?

They were not even sure whether the weapons in their hands and the powerful artillery fire could harm the gods.

It was not until now that they saw its huge body fall that they completely lost their doubts and were sure that they had won.

Naturally, the soldiers’ eyes would turn to their commander, their leader, and the Governor they admired.

Long live the Governor! The Governor… Eh? Where is the Governor?

There was some commotion in the crowd.

The Space Marines and the Sisters of Battle were more worried.

Especially the latter.

They were not ordinary mortal soldiers. They saw the Governor falling from the air after the God War.

The Phoenixes might be a little slow, but the Holy Lilies, who were more sensitive to similar situations, realized at the first time that this was a very bad sign.

Grit showed Martins a possibility that made the latter terrified.

“You mean, the Governor-General might be defeated by the whispers of the abyss, have his mind changed, or even be enslaved by evil thoughts? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!”

Martins refuted fiercely.

Grit quickly spoke to comfort him, “It’s not necessarily like this, I just said it’s possible. We may be in the abyss of hell now, and the erosion of the abyss of hell on human will is very terrible, especially for psychics. Governor Gu has consumed countless strength in the battle just now. He is in the most vulnerable state now, and we must go to see how he is doing.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

Grit couldn’t see the expression of the chapter leader in the helmet, but she could hear the alienation and vigilance hidden behind this question.

At this time, she suddenly realized something: I don’t know since when, the Phoenixes have called the Governor of the Wrathful Owl Star ‘Governor-General’, instead of ‘Governor Gu’ or ‘Your Excellency the Governor’ like the Holy Lilies.

This change is a bit subtle.

She noticed it before and had some associations.

At this moment, hearing Martins’ question, her association was further deepened.

However, now is not the time to explore those things. She did not want to turn against each other and have a conflict.

She quickly spoke to comfort him: “My sisters and I can help Governor Gu. We chant the hymn of prayer to the Emperor of God to protect the soul of the Governor from the invasion of darkness; if the Governor is really harmed, we can expel the evil spirits and evil thoughts…”

Speaking of this, Grit paused and continued: “But no matter what, we must find the Governor who fell as soon as possible. The later the chance of something we don’t want to see will be greater.”

Martins’ attitude loosened: “Okay, no matter what, we should find the Governor as soon as possible.”

After reaching an agreement, they took action.

It was not difficult to find the Governor. They still remembered where the Governor was when he was floating in the sky.

The Governor fell straight down, so they just had to find him in that area.

However, they were not the first to find him.

When they saw the Governor from afar with his eyes closed and sitting cross-legged, a circle of people had already gathered around him.

Obviously, they were not the only ones looking for the Governor. After noticing that the Governor had fallen, the loyal soldiers of the Alliance also came to look for him spontaneously. Some ordinary soldiers who were closer found the Governor.

They might not know much, but seeing the Governor’s appearance, they could roughly guess that the Governor’s condition might not be very good at the moment.

So, the loyal soldiers spontaneously protected the Governor. There was an open space of about 50 meters around the Governor, and no one was allowed to approach, including themselves.

When the Phoenix and the sisters of the Holy Lily arrived, the soldiers on the outermost periphery were still a little hesitant, but at this time a political officer stood up.

He looked like an instructor of a company-level unit, with the rank of lieutenant, and was not a high-ranking official.

It was obvious that he was a little nervous when he stood in front of the Phoenix and the sisters of battle.

However, he still did it bravely.

“Please stop, Governor…”

Before he could finish, Grit’s voice came out from the helmet: “Get out of the way!”

She didn’t even stop and was about to pass by this mortal soldier.

She was very anxious.

She could already feel that the clouds surrounding the governor were filled with irrepressible evil energy.

This proved that her previous guess had come true.

The Abyss Hell was really not a place for humans. Even a powerful psychic like Governor Gu, when his spiritual energy was exhausted and he was weak and exhausted, would still be eroded by the pervasive will of the Abyss.

She had to go there as soon as possible, using the faith of the Sisters to protect and help Governor Gu expel the evil forces.

And if things really got to the worst… she would make a decision.

It was too bad for a person who was eroded by evil thoughts to serve as the governor of a planet.

But the governor had always been very supportive of the Sisters’ anti-cult actions on the planet. When he heard her request to solve the cult members as soon as possible, he agreed. Within a few days, he mobilized the organizational capabilities of the entire political system and launched the action according to her plan. In the end, he even came in person and solved the last problem as a powerful psychic.

Without this Governor, they would never have been able to defeat the evil god.

Grit understood this deeply.

Because of this, she was extremely conflicted.

But no matter what, she had to get to the Governor first.

She was so focused on these things that she didn’t even notice that the instructor was still standing in front of her.

Or rather, she didn’t notice it, but didn’t care.

She just pushed the mortal away with a casual move.

The instructor, who was pushed to the side by a huge force, stood firm and directly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the head nun.

This action alerted the fighting sisters behind Grit, and they also took out their weapons and pointed them at this bold mortal.

But then, the soldiers surrounding the Governor also raised their weapons.

People who were far away didn’t know what was happening in front. But they could see that the instructor was pushed away and pointed at with a gun, and the nuns seemed to be about to break into their encirclement.

In an instant, the two sides were full of hostility.

The lieutenant instructor did not fire rashly. He said loudly to Grit, “Sister Head! The soldiers of our alliance respect you and your sisters very much, and are very grateful for your help to the Wrathful Star. But please do not go any further. The Governor is in trouble, and we will not let anyone harm him. If you insist, please step over our bodies!”

Having said this, he opened the safety of his pistol.

Grit turned around, took off her helmet, and looked at the lieutenant instructor.

There was no retreat in the eyes of the mortal .

The nun sighed and realized that she had made a mistake.

Maybe in other places, ignoring the opinions of mortals is not a big deal.

But here, it is not possible.

She changed her attitude and said, “We are here to help the Governor. You can see that the Governor is not in a good state, and we are here to help him.”

As she said this, she raised her left hand.

A ball of light rose from her hand.

She said softly, “See? This is a blessing from the Emperor, which can protect humans from the invasion of evil demons. The Governor is facing this problem now, and he needs our help very much. So, let us go, okay?”

It turns out that the combat sisters who claim to be the “daughters of the Emperor” can still speak well.

Her softened attitude and the help she said made the resolute lieutenant instructor entangled.

He looked at the light in the hands of the head sister, and his mind was wavering.

If there is a threat to the Governor, then it goes without saying that the only way is to fight to the death.

But they said they came to help, and the Governor looked like he really needed some professional help now; but if these sisters were allowed to go, what if they were not good for the Governor?

Seeing this mortal officer hesitating, Grit planned to add fuel to the fire.

She looked at Martins next to her for help.

The Phoenix Battle Captain also hesitated.

He knew more, but he was even less willing to believe Grit.

Battle Sisters… Although the Holy Lily Sisters are not a sisterhood affiliated with the Inquisition, nor are they the type with a bloody and dark reputation that focuses on hunting heretics and illegal psychics, they are still battle sisters after all, belonging to the Imperial Church, not the Wrathful Star Alliance.

If the Governor really has a problem, who can guarantee that these nuns will not go crazy?

At such a close distance, it is a bit difficult to protect the Governor.

In fact, the choice now is essentially another choice: If the Governor really has a problem, how should the Phoenix deal with it?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but look at Pastor Rizzo next to him.

Rizzo just smiled at him and didn’t intend to offer any advice.

Martins took a deep breath and made a decision.

“Sister Head Sister.” His buzzing voice came from the helmet, “Let your battle sisters lay down their weapons and obey the officer’s request. If the Governor needs your help, he will speak up. If he doesn’t, let us wait quietly. I fully believe that the Governor can solve the problem himself.”

“Martins! Do you know what the current situation means? How can you be so irresponsible? You are a warrior of the Emperor!”

“Of course I am, all the Phoenixes are.” Martins said, “So, what’s the problem with the Phoenixes pledging allegiance to the Emperor’s agent on the Wrath of the Owl Star, to Governor Gu Hang?”

Grit looked very disappointed.

She knew that when Martins also expressed his attitude, she couldn’t do anything she wanted to do today.

She and her sisters might be able to ignore these mortal soldiers and force their way in.

But with the presence of twelve Space Marines, that was another matter.

The thirty of them were no match for the twelve superhuman warriors.

Not to mention, there were also the Governor’s thousands of troops here.

Her expression became cold, she put on her helmet again, and said, “I know, we will wait outside. Let’s see how the situation will change.”

“That’s right.” Martins said.

…

Gu Hang knew roughly what was happening outside.

But he had no time to care.

The head nun’s guess was right.

Gu Hang’s spirituality was almost exhausted in the battle just now, in the confrontation with the evil god, and the various passive protective effects were almost at their lowest. Because of this, the mental intrusion from the real world and the abyss of hell finally bypassed the defense and revealed its most harmful aspects to psychics.

Mind interference, mental temptation, will tampering, personality change…

Even [Iron Will] was unable to play any role.

Iron Will is to resist and filter the mental damage that is harmful to the subject. It actually played its role faithfully, and the changes in Gu Hang’s mind caused by those extraordinary powers were blocked by this ability.

However, what was happening in his soul at the moment would not necessarily be considered harmful.

Two different paths were clearly placed in front of Gu Hang.

The iron will can resist harmful mental interference, but of course it can’t make certain decisions for Gu Hang.

It became quiet.

It seemed to be waiting for Gu Hang to make a choice.

Should he stick to being a human being?

Or… using the body of this slain evil god to ascend to become a ‘god’?
