Chapter 289
"What is that?"
People were terrified in the streets and alleys. Their vocal cords trembled with fear when they blurted out words. Their voices intertwined and echoed in the city.
The housewife who was rushing home to cook dropped her basket full of ingredients with a clang, and potatoes and vegetables fell to the ground.
She didn't bother to bend down to pick them up. She just stood there with her eyes wide open, staring at the huge monster that covered the sky.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she muttered to herself
"Oh my God, this is going to destroy us",
Tears burst out uncontrollably and slid down her panic-stricken cheeks.
On the school playground, students who were taking physical education classes stopped running and playing. The football rolled helplessly on the lawn until it hit the shoes and stopped.
A group of teenagers, whose eyes were usually full of vitality and curiosity, were now filled with endless fear.
The monitor swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty, his voice was hoarse and trembling, which was not supposed to be for a teenager:
"Teacher, are aliens attacking us?"
The teachers were also shocked. They were usually calm and confident in explaining knowledge on the podium, but now they were speechless and could only pretend to be calm.
He gathered the students together and gently comforted them
"Don't be afraid, there will be a way."
But his slightly trembling hands revealed his inner uneasiness.
"Don't be afraid!!"
"It's just an alien fleet! We are protected by Lord Caesar, don't be afraid!"
In the crowd, a fanatical Caesar believer suddenly raised his arms and shouted.
His eyes were full of blind faith in his own "god".
He tried to use this shout to dispel the panic haze that permeated the surroundings.
He was wearing a T-shirt with the Caesar emblem printed on it. The golden emblem on his chest still shone brightly under the shadow, like a concrete manifestation of his hope and confidence.
"Yes! Lord Caesar implements a policy of peace!"
"He will definitely protect us!!"
"That's right!!"
"Lord Caesar, defeat them quickly!!"
The shouts of the believers came one after another, and at first there were only a few scattered people.
Then, like a ignited beacon, it quickly spread among the panicked crowd, and hundreds of people joined in.
The sound waves rolled, as if they wanted to use this fanatical belief to repel the alien threat hanging overhead.
Their eyes were burning, staring at the sky, their hands clenched into fists, and their bodies trembled slightly with excitement and expectation.
It seemed that as long as the belief was firm enough, Caesar would be able to come down from the sky like a god in the past and turn the tide.
However, the cold and ruthless hulls of the alien fleet still floated quietly, turning a deaf ear to the cries and prayers of the humans below, as if overlooking the meaningless struggles of a group of ants.
Just as the noise reached its peak, several dazzling lights suddenly lit up at the bottom of the alien fleet, as if the god of death opened his eyes.
Then, thick beams of energy, wrapped in a breath of destruction, poured down in different directions of the city like a raging torrent.
With a loud "boom", the landmark skyscraper in the city center was hit first, and the building that reached the sky was instantly broken in half.
The upper part collapsed in the flames and smoke, and glass, steel bars, and concrete fragments flew like a meteorite rain.
It smashed into the streets and the crowds, and wherever it went, cars were flattened and shops were buried.
The cries and cries for help were instantly swallowed up by the explosion!
The believers who were cheering just now were now clenched by fear and their faces were pale.
"Captain, the city that was shouting the loudest just now is silent now!"
In the control cabin of the Seventh Fleet of the Star Shining Saint Clan, which was filled with cold metallic luster and a sense of science fiction.
A young team member hurriedly trotted to the command desk and bent slightly.
With a tone of urgency to report work and a hint of complacency, he spoke to the captain sitting on the command chair.
The chair was like a specially made throne, tall and engraved with strange patterns all over, and there was a faint light flashing from time to time, as if showing the captain's supreme authority.
When the captain heard this, there was no fluctuation in the lines on his face that was as cold as a knife.
He just nodded slowly, and in the depths of his eyes, a hint of sarcasm was like phosphorescence in the darkness, fleeting but clearly perceptible.
"According to the latest intelligence, Caesar, the local god, has implemented a policy of peaceful evolution."
"In order to consolidate his rule, he cut off the promotion path of others!"
The captain raised his eyes slightly, looking through the transparent porthole at the city of Blue Star below, which was shrouded in smoke and war. There was no mercy in his eyes, only indifference and amusement at the struggle of low-level civilizations.
The team member was young, and his face was stillwith a bit of childishness.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and his face was full of disbelief, and even his voice was raised a few degrees:
"How can there be such a stupid person?"
"After the emergence of local gods, it was the fastest period of civilization development! It actually wasted this period?"
While speaking, the team members waved their arms, as if to emphasize their inner confusion and anger.
The captain's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a disdainful arc.
"So these natives are all stupid pigs!"
"For their own selfish desires, they stifle the development of the entire civilization!"
"To use the proverb of their Blue Star, it is like sitting in a well and looking at the sky, and being blinded by a leaf!"
The captain's voice became more and more excited, full of contempt for the decision-making of the Blue Star civilization, and also full of the sense of superiority as a member of a high-level interstellar civilization.
He stood with his hands behind his back, and looked out of the porthole again, his eyes seemed to penetrate the layers of smoke and chaos.
"Look, they didn't rely on their own strength to protect themselves."
"Then, the god they believe in, Caesar."
"Where is he now?"
...
On the blue planet, smoke filled the air and flames shot up into the sky. The once prosperous city streets are now full of broken walls and panicked people.
In the ruins, the survivors were ragged, dusty, and full of fear and despair, screaming at the top of their lungs:
"Lord Caesar! Save us!"
The voice was crying, full of the last hope, and it seemed so weak and shrill in the whistling wind and the roar of explosions in the distance.
They looked up at the sky, searching for the golden figure that once symbolized invincibility and protection in the billowing smoke, with their hands clasped together, as if begging for mercy from God.
"Where are your world policemen! Come out to fight the enemy!"
Others also echoed the shouting, with anger and deep helplessness in their eyes.
The "world police" who used to show off their power, shuttle between countries, and do hegemony in the name of "maintaining peace" in the past, now seem to have evaporated and disappeared.
All parts of the world have suffered heavy losses!
The more Caesar-believing regions are, the stronger the impact they suffer!
Even annihilate their remaining high-level awakeners in one fell swoop!
There is only one exception on the entire Blue Star.
There are very few believers of Caesar there!
Instead, they are all people who are hostile to Caesar.
China!
A trace of irony flashed across Xia Guangjiu's old face:
"Haha, our China has not suffered any harm at all!"
"Caesar, if you don't come out again."
"Then your plan will fail!"
