194 Chapter 194: Athena's Request
The Moon.
It has become the ceasefire base for New Krypton after the war, with a huge light curtain covering the Moon.
After H'el killed Green Lantern and Wonder Woman, the 4.5 million Green Lantern Corps soldiers and 1 million divine corps soldiers did not engage in fierce resistance again and surrendered.
The surface of the Moon began to be arranged with soldiers of the Green Lantern Corps, with various shapes such as octopus-like, mountain-like, two-headed and four-armed, forehead vertical eyes, and soldiers with skins of various colors. They were all temporarily relieved of their Green Lantern rings.
The equipment on the 1 million divine corps soldiers was stripped clean. Their magical armor and divine equipment were of great research value to the New Krypton's equipment research institute. Stripped of their equipment, they could only stand naked in humiliation on the surface of the Moon.
Nano control terminals were injected into the brain centers of every soldier of the Green Lantern Corps and divine corps to control them and prevent unrest.
In this war, 1.8 million Kryptonian soldiers were directly killed, half of the originally not numerous warships and mechs were directly killed, and the Marshal-class battleships Brave and Compassion died, their information returning to the AllSpark.
The real number of Green Lantern Corps soldiers killed by New Krypton in the war was only 500,000. However, before the war started, the Green Lantern Corps were targeted by the Brightness and Compassion's Starbreaker cannons, killing 3 million Green Lantern Corps soldiers on the Martian continent plate. As a result, the Green Lantern Corps had 8 million soldiers participating in the war, with 3.5 million deaths and 4.5 million captured.
The actual post-war summary is as follows:
New Krypton: 7.45 million participated in the war. 1.8 million Kryptonians died, and 250,000 warships died.
Green Lantern Corps: 8 million participated in the war, with 3.5 million deaths and 4.5 million captured.
Divine Corps: 1.5 million participated in the war, with 500,000 deaths and 1 million captured.
Amazon Corps: 500,000 participated in the war, with 500,000 deaths and 0 captured.
Just from the cold data numbers alone, it's enough to see how cruel this local interstellar war is, far faster than anything on Earth. Life disappears at an unprecedented speed in this kind of war.
The remaining 5.2 million Kryptonian soldiers, some of them with severed limbs, began to match genes in Cery's Biological Research Institute to manufacture cloned limbs for transplantation.
Only by depleting energy and quickly replenishing the simplest solar energy, did they start the post-war deployment work under the Zero.
In order to allocate manpower to deal with post-war work, Zero directly controlled the nano control terminals in the bodies of 5.5 million prisoners to put them into sleep and instructed a small number of people to guard the prisoners. The majority of the manpower was invested in the maintenance of warships and post-war alert preparations.
H'el opened the transit vortex to the Three-Body Universe in the large cabin inside Zero. Now the transit vortex can exist stably. H'el did not close it again, stabilized it in the cabin, directly connecting the two worlds, and began to provide logistical support.
"Zero, this particular Universe will become New Krypton's training ground for interstellar wars. Arrange for the generals and marshals to launch actions to conquer this alien Universe after stabilizing in this war." H'el issued the order.
"Subsequent arrangements recorded," Zero responded.
This interstellar war, which is the first one waged by New Krypton, is actually quite a failure, but it couldn't have been done better.
Aftee all, they were facing the ultimate legions and gods of the entire universe, being targeted at every turn.
If it weren't for the initial ambush that killed 3 million Green Lantern Corps soldiers, the outcome of this war would have been extremely bleak.
Both technologically and in terms of combat power, they were targeted and suppressed to the extreme. Even figures as important as the Marshal-class battleships had to sacrifice themselves to create opportunities for battle.
If H'el hadn't appeared in this war, and it continued, New Krypton would have been defeated and destroyed, leaving nothing behind.
But H'el, with his own strength, rallied the entire civilization.
There are many god-level civilizations in the Three-Body Universe. Even H'el would need to be cautious as it's possible that civilizations in the Three-Body Universe could eliminate H'el. It's a great place for interstellar warfare.
No more simulations of war in a brain-in-a-vat, just direct conquest of the Three-Body Universe in bloody battle. Conquering this universe would make their interstellar fleet more experienced and honed.
Of course, this would only begin after New Krypton establishes itself on Earth.
The war has just ended, and it's not yet certain that New Krypton will stand in this universe.
H'el has two cosmic guardians and three deities in his hands. Let's see what they will do now.
This level of combat power is not abundant on a cosmic scale and cannot be easily abandoned.
"Activate the planet turbine, rotate internally at the speed of light, and throw the cosmic guardians and deities into the planet turbine to consume their power."
H'el turned around and left the busy engine hall, flying towards the direction of the Zero Mothership's engine.
Flying through the metal corridors, passing by numerous busy engineering mechs and Kryptonian soldiers, he gradually reached the sparsely populated engine room.
This important area was maintained only by engineering mechs.
The planet turbine is a stellar cannon that can strike using an entire star system as ammunition. H'el instructed Zero to conduct stellar-level internal rotation acceleration, which concentrates and strengthens the high-energy particle collision more than the Kuiper Belt, to slowly and thoroughly grind down the cosmic guardians and deities.
Each of them is a stellar-level energy source. Each death could cause a terrifying black hole collapse reaction, generating enormous black holes. They must not be allowed to die casually in the external world.
H'el stood on the rotating planet turbine, and the rotating turbine reflected a deep red high-energy particle reaction, casting a reddish hue on H'el's gaze.
The two cosmic guardians and three Olympian deities inside were constantly bombarded by the high-energy particles at the speed of light, beginning the process of wearing down their bodies.
Athena awoke amidst this reaction. She was the least injured deity and had never directly confronted H'el.
"Stop it. You can have anything you want, just stop this damned particle bombardment first." Athena opened her eyes and felt her delicate body trembling. Her strength and consciousness were gradually fading away at the speed of light.
The wearing down began from the moment they were thrown in.
"Is that so? Your everything—divine power, magic, authority, all the knowledge about the Olympian deities." H'el looked down, his voice tinged with indifference.
"Yes!" Athena answered without hesitation.
H'el's gaze, looking down, paused for a moment. Obviously, a question mark popped up in his head.
Could it be that threatening all aspects that maintain the Olympian deity's transcendence and power in the universe was that simple?
Were the deities so afraid of death?
"You may have misunderstood the deities. Everything you mentioned is unimportant to every deity. Every deity in this situation would make the same choice. Our lifelong pursuit has never been about power and authority." Athena glanced at Apollo and Artemis, seeing them unconscious and unresponsive. She breathed a sigh of relief and explained.
At this moment, she didn't want any competition.
The core need of the deities was never what outsiders perceived as authority and power. In this situation, all the deities would give up all their authority, power, and knowledge.
Life is what matters.
It's more important than everything.
H'el looked deeply at Athena, waved his hand to stop the rotation of the planet turbine, pulled Athena out, and then restarted the turbine to continue wearing down the remaining four's bodies.
"Record all of your knowledge."
