Soul of Burning Steel

The world of stars, the sea of ​​vacuum between stars, is filled with extremely thin, but mist-like dust.

Frontier Milky Way, the Ancient Langma Nebula located between the 78th and 76th regions was once an interstellar civilization called the Langma Federation. It was not destroyed by the evil **** family, but more than 300,000 years at a time. Earlier, an artificially induced supernova explosion caused an extreme coincidence of a wrong psionic ritual, which caused the entire Langma Federation to use the solar energy to operate the magic circle, and through the hyperspace psychic reaction, the chain detonated the control under their control. Twenty-three stars destroyed all the core territories and colonies of the Federation in eight minutes.

I don’t know if it is stupid or unlucky. It is theoretically impossible to kill the 87 billion Langma people in an instant. The star dust of their union has become a cluster of compound nebula that is still spreading. And the souls and psychic energies of all the Langma people spread in the nebula, condensed, and gathered into a small psychic star: because the death was too sudden and without warning, the Langma people back then did not have time to give birth. The two emotions of'absurd' and'anger' disappeared, so this psionic star is still pure, and can even be used as the coordinates of the ship to guide the fleet of latecomers through this sad nebula.

Three hundred thousand years later, the psychic stars are gradually dying out, and the Ancient Langma Nebula has also ushered in a new uninvited guest. The chaos family descends from the void, destroys and uses everything that can be sensed, and the nebula is no exception. Has become their nest.

The Ancient Langma Nebula contains a lot of psychic clutter. The Chaos family is not worried about this interference, but it is difficult for the ordinary fleet to navigate in it. Without the guidance of the psychic stars, the Ancient Langma Nebula has completely become a hiding place for the chaos evil spirits. , Has become a forbidden zone for surrounding civilizations.

However, now, a huge and peculiar fleet is shuttled in the ancient Langma Nebula, and in the center of the fleet, a three-dimensional image resembling a G shape, a huge battleship with a frontal height of more than 25 kilometers is spraying out like a phantom. The psychic flow moves forward in a vacuum, and its side is depicted with a bright red, burning fire pattern.

‘Agni’ urgently cleaned the fleet.

It can be seen that in the distant nebula, a small reconnaissance ship leaped out. After handing over the signal, it quickly approached the fleet, and then was included in the giant battleship. With the connection of the database, a large amount of information was sent.

"Really? The psionic star has been completely extinguished, but the chaotic family has disappeared without a trace."

In the bridge command room, an old Tanya who looked like a cicada was shaking his tentacles. He calmly read the exploration information in the database, and muttered: "So, there is no enemy in the entire Ancient Langma Nebula. Twenty-seven reconnaissance ships have obtained the same results from all directions, unless the Chaos dependents have evolved some new capabilities, otherwise this is true."

After thinking for a while, the machine's cold voice came from the Tan Yaren's chest, translating the machine's buzzing: "The whole ship accelerates, we leave the inner layer of the Nebula and leap to the next target."

"Yes!"

A neat and uniform answer came. As the orders were relayed, the total number of ships exceeded 2,900. The Agni emergency fleet with the giant star destroyer turned slightly, and then all accelerated and flew toward the periphery of the Nebula.

Since there is no target here, then proceed to the next task. The emergency cleaning of the fleet is equivalent to the white blood cells in the ‘Galaxy Guardian Alliance’. The goal is to clean up all the chaos-related germs in the Alliance’s territory.

Regarding this order, no one on the entire ship has any opinions. Every crew member of the sweeping fleet is a carefully selected elite with the best qualities and combat awareness, and the captain who leads this group of elites , The powerful psionicist who controls the Armageddon-class Star Destroyer, the commander of the five-star fleet, Kedahl, is an elite among the elite. For this man who has been fighting for more than forty-five years, he commanded the three fleets to fight chaos. No one will hold meaningless doubts about the one hundred and second holders of the First Level Guardian Medal of the Alliance.

Even the deputy captain of the Star Destroyer and the crew captain of the overhaul department, Falla, the atrium member, would unconditionally trust this experienced old commander most of the time.

However, today is an exception.

Falla is an atrium person with a lot of carotene in his body, so the leaves on his head will be orange-yellow. He pretends to be indifferent, his eyes swept across Commander Kedal, who looked calm and normal, and his heart was full. Worrying.

The worries did not start today. To be precise, Faya has been a little worried about Kedal's mental state since the Fire Fleet's mission not long ago.

After all, not anyone can keep normal after witnessing his own race’s home star being blown up. What’s even more frightening is that the person who gave this order was the person himself or even the chaos. On the eroded planet, there are the only descendants of that man, the grave of his deceased wife, and the last remnants of all relatives and friends.

It is simply the worst day a person can experience.

After suffering such pain, being able to remain normal is the biggest abnormality. After that mission, Faya applied for a recuperation treatment and a special psychological team psychotherapy to the high level of the Alliance Military Department for Kedal, but she didn’t know. Is the recent battle situation too anxious, and the long-awaited rest order hasn’t arrived, so that Kedal still leads the Fire Fleet to sweep the battle.

In fact, this is nothing. Bud feels that if it keeps fighting with the Chaos family, it is a good thing for Kedal to vent the pain and anger in his heart a little. At least this is a normal channel, but I don’t know if it’s a roundabout battle. The reason for the success was that after the Eternal Void Anchor was destroyed, the entire Cthulhu family camp experienced a huge change. The Great Eastern Star District suffered continuous onslaught, and the Great Southern Star District was also the big star where the Fire Fleet was located. In this area, the Cthulhu family all retreated, leaving only empty nests and depleted stars and galaxies.

"Oops, the chaotic family members in the Ancient Langma Nebula have also retreated...We haven't even fought a battle in the past few weeks!"

Falla secretly cried out in her heart. Of course, he knew that the sadness and anger in Captain Kedal had not yet completely calmed down. He had seen Kedal take out his family’s previous photos in a daze during his leisure time, and occasionally in the psychic wave. The words'Eternal Void Anchor' and'Star Breaker Fleet' were conveyed, which completely explained the abnormality of the opponent.

Needless to say, the “eternal void anchor point” is naturally a void gate connected to the void and lasting for eternity. It is the largest source of reinforcements for the Chaos dependents. During the time it once existed, every time unit gushed out The number of chaotic family members even exceeds the number of chaotic family members eliminated at the same time on hundreds of battlefields. The life custody program confirms through calculations that if the anchor of the eternal void is not destroyed, the war will never be won, and the Great Detour Battle is the League of Guardians In order to tune the tiger away from the mountain, with all efforts to contain the main force of the Chaos family on the frontal battlefield, the elite troops used suicide attacks to destroy the anchor point of the void through long-distance leaping.

The Star Breaker Fleet is one of the fleets that launched suicide attacks on the anchor of the Eternal Void in the Great Roundabout Campaign. Most of its members are lonely, without any relatives or friends, or the only husband whose relatives and friends all died in the hands of Chaos. At the time, only one of the eighteen fleets that committed suicide attacked was one of the fleet and a small fleet of warships that survived and maintained their numbers. All the others were honorably disbanded. The names and careers of all members of the fleet were recorded in the Guardian Martyrs Monument.

In Faya’s view, Commander Kedal has no plans to live anymore. He wants to serve in the Starbreaker fleet, continue to perform the most dangerous and difficult missions, and then die in a certain mission. The Hugh order did not come because of this reason. Kedal should have applied for this order long ago. The senior military leaders welcome this kind of decisive and experienced old captain to serve in the Star Breaker fleet, and he will definitely be able to fight against Chaos. Cause the biggest blow.

However, there has not been a small encounter for several weeks. Falla is very worried that Captain Kedal’s mental state of anger will not vent. It will really gradually destroy the psionicist’s sanity, and Kedal is still a man. Omega-class great psionicist, if he is really crazy, I am afraid that the Star Destroyer will be destroyed by his own power.

"Don't worry, Falla, anyway, I am also a veteran soldier who has fought for more than 40 years."

Suddenly, Falla, who thought he was hiding well, heard the mechanical sound from the translation machine. He raised his head in astonishment and found that Captain Kedal had turned his head, and his tentacles trembled and said, "I really don’t have a serious problem. , You don’t have to worry too much about my mental problems."

"You, can you see through my thoughts?"

Faya felt embarrassed at first to be revealed to the secret, then was surprised, and even shocked: "Although it is not long ago, I am also an Omega-level psionicist...Wait, don't it!"

Thinking of a possibility, the leaves on Faya's head began to curl in shock: "You have broken through the realm of the immortal?!"

The so-called immortal realm is an Omega-class psionicist who has surpassed the ability to conduct interstellar-class fleet battles with a single body, and can determine the direction of a battle by himself, a true powerhouse of this level. Even if the entire Guardian Alliance is rare, there are no more than forty people in the total of more than 8,000 interstellar civilizations. Most of them are the leaders of many civilizations and cannot easily go to the battlefield.

If the other party really breaks through the immortal realm, then it must be able to really control one's emotions and not fall into madness... In that case, it would be a good thing.

"Probably, just broke through that layer of paper."

But Kedal responded flatly: "I have been thinking about it for decades at the peak state. Under the stimulation of extreme emotions some time ago, I reviewed my life and figured out many problems that plagued me before. Observed every aspect of my psionic energy with the most calm mind...I have indeed made progress, but it is difficult to say whether I am immortal."

This was originally a happy event. The fleet commander broke through the entire alliance and the top immortal realm. This should be a great event to convey the entire alliance, but for some reason, Falla suddenly felt a heartfelt desolation.

If the price of an advanced immortal is to personally order to destroy his hometown, destroy his home planet, and destroy everything he once cherished, then not many people would be willing to do this, because people are gaining it for purpose. Power, instead of destroying purpose and reason for power, is the most ridiculous stupidity.

It’s hard for Falla to imagine how much anger and hatred was precipitated under Kedal’s calm tone and the invisible complex moments, and what kind of surging emotions can make this person concentrate on commanding battles. For ten years, the commander and captain, who had never seriously thought about ways to break through the realm, broke through that barrier forcibly and found his own way in just a few weeks?

Kedal didn't know it himself.

In front of the bridge, the fleet commander who turned his head stared at the vacuum in front of him and stared at the dim stars in the distance. His tone had always been calm and rational, but that was already the limit. Today Tan Yaren didn't dare to speak any more. He didn't know at all. When would I suddenly roar or howl in pain, pour out all the psychic energy in my body and destroy everything around me.

Break through the realm of the immortal? maybe. Kedal knows very clearly that the short-term increase in his strength is probably just a return to light, the huge psionic energy born by emotions has begun to gradually exceed his control, reaching the realm he has never expected, when the power breaks the limit. When the day comes, it is indeed possible for him to advance, but he is more likely to become a terrifying and strange immortal-level psychic monster.

I have to leave, if I want to get out of control, at least get out of control in the Chaos Clan.

The sensible voice told him that the anger of anger should be poured out on the enemy. This is the best revenge, and it is also the only meaning of survival for the lingering oneself.

No matter what the hell, as long as I can kill the Chaos family, I don't care what kind of monster I become!

This is a roar of no-owner hatred. He has lost all his relatives, all his friends, and even his hometown, the home star Tan Ya is already a civilization without a home. The Tan Ya who drifts in the entire alliance may continue to be an interstellar civilization. The form exists, but the newly born Tan Ya people will never know the beauty of their home planet.

There is nothing left. Apart from hatred and revenge, Kedal has no reason to fight chaos or suppress his anger. When he wakes up from his dream every day, he will be confused and laugh at why he has to be rational.

Anyway, he really has nothing, so why bother to suppress himself, pretend to be rational, even pretend to be calm and calm, and give instructions to make him feel nauseous?

Emotions were torn and torn in his mind. Kedal could still maintain his sense. As he said, he did not have a serious problem. As a great psionicist, he could indeed control his emotions, even if it was just walking on Thin ice... At least, during the time of the Fire Fleet, he can control it.

As for the transfer of the Starbreaker fleet...that's another matter.

"come quickly."

Staring at the distant misty stars, the whole body is shining with red lustre, Kedahl whispered to himself nervously: "I can't wait..."

And just now.

In the vacuum, a giant network of psychic energy that could not be seen at less than the infinite light level began to tremble, and with a faint humming, four completely different rays of light began to move and spread across the world of stars.

The pure blazing light swept through the tens of millions of stars and billions of stars, they searched, echoed the existence that resonated with them, and looked for their apostles.

Then, a blood-red light broke away from the trembling giant net, galloped out, and then came to Kedal's mind without anyone paying attention.

No one noticed this, whether it was Falla who was on trial in Kedal or the other fleet staff on the bridge, no one noticed.

Only Kedal himself was shocked.

He felt that his heart was heating up with an incomparably pure and incomparably pure emotion, and the incomparably clear emotions poured into his spiritual sea, making Lao Tan Ya chaotic, a mess of hatred, anger, sorrow, and loss of spirit suddenly. Get up to clarity.

At that moment, many things suddenly rushed into Kedal's heart.

He wants to kill the Chaos family, the more the better. He wants to control the **** fleet and blame, and directly drove the Star Destroyer towards the nearest Chaos Lair to explode. He wants to simply be with Chaos. He died in the war, he wanted to pour out his endless hatred, pour out his endless anger and madness, no matter what reason, there is no longer an object that needs him to be treated rationally, and then he becomes a powerful spirit. Be able to monsters, go to the Chaos Massacre Special Kill.

The purest "hatred" has induced countless dark thoughts. It is just like a rock falling in a quagmire, causing countless lurking snakes, insects and ants to swarm out. Kedal stared at the dark in his mind in shock, even Said it was an unbearable thought, I couldn't help but squeeze my own limbs tightly, and the tentacles were all curled up.

But at the same moment, many thoughts also surged in his mind.

He wants to protect other races and other civilizations so that they will not repeat the mistakes of his hometown. He wants to lead his fleet and his crew to fight against the invasion of Chaos, so that sad individuals like himself do not appear. His heart is full of endless courage, because he has nothing and no objects to love uniquely, so he has everything.

Because he has nothing, he has no fear.

Kedal recalled his old vow to join the Guardian fleet.

"We will guard all the life and order of the satellite, illuminating all civilizations and races like stars. We are the vanguard against chaos and the guard against aggression."

"We are the Guardian fleet, and we will clean up the chaos and disasters until the end of life."

Two emotions that seem to be diametrically opposite, but of the same origin, collide in Kedal's heart.

The old Tan Yaren raised his head silently, his tentacles suddenly began to vibrate, and then suddenly "cries" in his spiritual world.

"Ah, it turns out that there is still such a huge cowardice in my heart."

He silently asked himself: "So I didn't control myself at all, was it just an ignorant depression?"

If it is said that the loss of a loved one will allow hatred to ferment freely, and then spread to other people, and even destroy oneself.

That's really a big cowardice and joke.

If Chaos had thoughts and could speak, he would definitely laugh at such a boring self.

"I……"

In reality, the blood-red psychic energy permeating Kedal suddenly shook and then dissipated abruptly. He whispered: "I was wrong."

An ambiguous fall of hatred can neither defeat the enemy nor destroy the chaos, but can only send myself and the people around me into the abyss... What I need has never been'hatred', nor is it in the name of'revenge' Escaping from reality and even self-destruction, but looking directly at the dripping blood, facing this bleak life, persevering in a future that has lost everything, and still decides to continue to move forward's'courage'!

Acknowledge your own hatred, admit your own mistakes, admit your own cowardice, admit your own self-defeating and abandon yourself and then aim your hatred at your enemies, correct your mistakes one by one, hang your cowardice on the wall as a warning, and sweep your self-defeating yourself into the trash.

Face all of this, dirty self, and bleak reality. Then at the same time, face the future without fear.

This is courage.

Psionic energy, converge again, and then transform.

Brighter and brighter, the blood-red power gently pushed aside and walked eagerly, noticing that Deputy Captain Faya, who seemed to be in a wrong situation, this power is different from psychic power. It is not a light like a phantom, but as if there is a substance The'substance'.

"Hatred can also bring courage, just like a beacon to guide a ship's navigation."

Kedal let out a sigh, and there was light shining in his compound eyes: "But you can't be overwhelmed by hatred, and mistake the lighthouse for the destination."

My battle... is not to avenge chaos. My battle is not so superficial.

What I want is to move forward, in this world full of chaos, towards a future without chaos!

And just when Kedal finally understood the concept of'courage' and'hate', between'anger' and'crazy', which was full of contradictions and oppositions, but could be integrated into one, the real moment of'courage' was born in his heart. , The red brilliance that poured into his mind suddenly shone brightly.

[Guardians of the Galaxy Alliance, Individual Kedalmonane, you have great courage in your heart, you belong to the ring of courage]

[The Blazing Heaven invites you]

Just courage, at best, it is only to get the approval of the ring of courage, to obtain a rune phantom, it is not enough to truly hold the ring of courage.

To become a preceptor, one must be an individual who can control'hate', understand'crazy', manipulate'anger', and realize'courage', just like the half of the ring of the vow, holding and disciplined all the emotions .

It can be seen that a ring phantom with runes like lightning appeared on Kedal's chest, hung on one of its limbs, and then began to materialize rapidly.

The blood-red flame ignited and enveloped the whole body of the old Tanya. All the carapace cracks formed by aging, the aging of the joints, and all kinds of tarnished and round body parts, all burned in this blood-colored flame, Then get a new look and return to your youth!

At this moment, an aura that seemed to be substantial and majestic, spread throughout the entire Armageddon-class Star Destroyer in an instant, and even to the entire Agni Fleet.

"Commander, commander?"

On the side, shocked by the overpowering aura, Falla opened her eyes wide and said in astonishment: "You, you have broken through!"

There is no doubt that after seeing Kedal's newly renewed, completely youthful immortal body, Falla's tone is extremely determined, and she cheers sincerely: "Great!"

"Oh oh oh! The captain broke through?"

"Commander, silently..."

"Unexpectedly, I can really get out of such a big blow..."

"Congratulations to the commander for becoming an immortal!"

Suddenly, the entire bridge was filled with joyful cheers and praises, even in the communication channel, and various congratulations and blessings came one after another. As Claire has led the fleet for more than ten years, both new and old members They all know how big the blow their commander has suffered before. Taking advantage of the good things now, they will naturally do their part to wash away the haze with blessings.

"Okay, stop."

The strong mental fluctuation resonated in the minds of everyone in the fleet in an instant, and Kedal, who quickly took control of his new power, raised his head calmly. He seemed to want to say something to his crew who have been silently supporting him and trusting him. , But an urgent text message from the military came and interrupted his thoughts.

"...Very good." The commander-in-chief of the Fire Emergency Sweeping Fleet, Kedarmonan, read this short message several times. He turned his head and looked at Falla: "Change the crew settings, we turn to full power.' The dark galaxy's direction is moving forward."

"Commander?" For a moment, Falla reacted quickly. His tone was filled with joy and a trembling excitement: "Could it be that?!"

"It has been proven that the gods of the atrium and our great mechanical leader have destroyed more than 90,000 chaotic galaxies not long ago, and the chaos family has begun to shrink in full. We don't need to be alert for the coming back of the counterattack."

The icy and serious mechanical sound once again sounded from the translation machinery on the chest, and the message in the spirit was transmitted into the minds of all the crew of the entire fleet: "The military has ordered all fleets that are not performing emergency missions of the'ss class' and above. Suspend all existing operations ~www.novelmtl.com~ and go to the front line of the constellation."

"We are going to end the cleaning of characters and start to fight back!"

There was silence, and then cheers resounded through the entire fleet.

After listening to this sincere feeling, hatred and anger towards chaos, and undaunted cries of courage, Kedal raised his head and looked at the stars in front of him that began to rotate due to the turning of the warship. He could sense that the warship was moving. Under Ya's instructions and scheduling, the settings and coordinates of the remote migration engine unit were changed, the psionic core began to charge, the battleship was accelerating, and everything was in place.

Just in time.

So he calmly said: "Coordinates, Eastern Star Region, Tehran Star Field, First Star Base."

"The whole fleet is in place, in the best condition, start the long-distance jump engine, dock with the anchor of the Tehran star field, the action code is a big counterattack, and follow my instructions."

Having said this, Kedalton paused, he lifted his arthropod, touched the red ring on it, and then gave the final order.

"jump!"
