Listen to the story.
Although Okar and several other generals had their doubts, as a practical military force, they were naturally willing to gain powerful allies.
As long as the machines can be eliminated in exchange for human freedom, the military can temporarily ignore where Umbrella comes from.
After all, the military is a relatively reliable presence in Eden. It considers and implements various plans and tries its best to delay the fall of Eden.
However, Umbrella's sudden arrival has touched the interests of some people, especially the priest Lucis who used human "hope" emotions in exchange for his own power, as well as many people who have no connection with the "Son of God" and have unknown identities. Members.
Because once a stronger force sets foot in Eden, Lucis and the others will lose their current status and power.
There is no way, what mankind has been good at since ancient times and cannot avoid is internal fighting and political power seeking.
So immediately a well-dressed councilor who was not as poor as the ordinary residents of Eden stood up and questioned Angron:
"Mr. Angron, you still haven't been able to answer the most important question! That is where you are from!
With highly developed technology, it can destroy the machine army in a short time..."
As he spoke, the congressman raised his hand and pointed at the holographic screen, and his tone gradually became sharper: "These performances have exceeded the technology that humans should have. Even humans in the old world may not have mastered these technologies...
Besides, with your extraordinary height and build, and the four iron-cylinder-looking guards outside, I think the reason why you frequently change the topic of where you come from is because you are bionic people created by machines... Yes Pseudo human! "
"Well, I can't rule out this possibility."
"If it's a spy sent by the machine, why is it so eye-catching? Shouldn't it be low-key? The logic doesn't make sense!"
"Maybe some kind of conspiracy by the machine?"
After the words fell, some people present agreed, some questioned, and even some members were prepared to follow the crowd and not participate in the discussion.
When the military generals such as Okar and Victor saw this situation, they immediately turned their attention to Lucis, who had remained silent throughout the whole process.
Obviously, this magic stick is causing trouble.
"Pseudo human?" Angron did not explain anything, but looked at Lucis not far ahead and asked:
"Priest Lucis, before I arrived in Eden, I heard the story that God's descendants would redeem mankind. However, when his descendants came, why did you, as a devout believer, and your friends deny it so much? To give the Son of God a pseudo-human title?”
Son of God? ?
really…
Angron has a much taller body than humans, and he looks like a "demigod" no matter how he looks at it...
"You? How is it possible!" Lucis immediately denied: "The prophesied Son of God is perfect, with a glow that is enough to dissipate the gloom that envelopes the earth and make people feel warm!"
"Glorious? Is this what you're talking about?"
As Angron spoke, he released a wave of spiritual energy that was visible to the naked eye, emitting golden light, and making people feel warm, comfortable, and at ease at the same time.
! !
The light swept across the entire hall, immediately making everyone feel warm and comfortable, and bringing all discussions to an abrupt end.
"Impossible! Impossible!!"
Lucis is still denying it, and will never admit that Angron is the legendary son of God.
Because once admitted, the believer will instantly transfer the object of belief to Angron, and the power will also be lost from her hands.
The most ironic thing is that Lucis, as the current priest, does not believe in church doctrine at all, let alone the existence of children of God. Everything she does is to satisfy her own selfish desires.
"Don't worry." Angron dissipated the light and said with a smile: "I am not the so-called son of God, and I have already expected that when I help you rebuild civilization, there will be all kinds of moths that will hinder you.
besides…"
Angron changed the topic and stretched out his right hand to pinch. It was really like picking up an insect. He used his spiritual power to pick up Lucis "from the air". He suppressed his smile and said in a serious tone:
"I said before that I will only give you one chance. Since there are still bugs who choose to be ignorant and cling to the so-called power and refuse to let go, then let me be the exterminator for once."
! !
Seeing that the momentum was not right, the congressman who had called him "pseudo-human" took the lead in getting up and running away, saying in a panic: "Guard! Guard!"
Another congressman looked at Victor, Okar and other military generals, and angrily rebuked: "Polyev! Okar! It was your military who asked that guy... uh..."
Before the congressman finished shouting, he lost the initiative over his body and fell into a coma. With the exception of Angron, everyone at the scene was unconscious.
At this moment, Angron threw aside Lucis, who was also in a coma, and walked slowly towards the main entrance of the hall.

…
Four hours later.
A jump vortex suddenly appeared within Kogler's gravitational range, allowing the Hymn of Courage to smoothly leave the fault space and return to the real universe.
Immediately afterwards, this behemoth used the speed of conventional navigation to head to the sunny side of Kogler.
As they approached, they found two Achilles-class aircraft carriers belonging to the Wrecker Corps, a Phoenix-class support ship, and the Wrecker flagship, the twelve-kilometer-long "Conqueror", anchored. Low Earth orbit on the far side.
In accordance with Sui Bian's order, Angron only mobilized a small number of warships to rush here in order to avoid attracting too much public attention. Moreover, they were aircraft carriers and support ships that could carry large-scale ground forces.
Soon, the Hymn of Courage merged into the wrecker's battleship group, maintaining Kogler's rotation speed to anchor.
Waited for a while.
A flight formation composed of large transport boats, Thunders, and Vikings left the hangar of the Hymn of Courage.
The formation entered the atmosphere and flew over the brightly lit and bustling city. After entering District 09 of the city, the formation began to slow down and descend, and finally arrived at the 116th Commercial Street.
Here, in stark contrast to other neighborhoods, there are no pedestrians or tourists. In other words, the entire commercial street has "collapsed" in advance. At the same time, Cogler's Umbrella Engineering Department has built a temporary headquarters and shut down operations. Ping and other military facilities.
In fact, within the time that the Hymn of Courage arrived here, the Intelligence Department had already dispatched relevant personnel to use the company's strong financial resources to negotiate and "purchase" the entire commercial street.
The Wrecker Auxiliary Army was responsible for sealing off the edge. Even though the media came after hearing the news and the residents who were overly curious, they could not make too much noise.
After all, the outbreak started as a collapse accident and did not cause any ripples on the network, so Umbrella could complete all aspects of control without spending too much resources and energy.
At this time, the formation dispersed and landed on small landing pads located everywhere.
Leon, who had put on his power armor, and a group of Dark Angels escorted the Red Queen to the elevator and rushed straight to the frontline base at the other end of the space gate.
Sui Bian and Bai Hou stayed in their own large transport boat to wait.
At this moment, inside the cabin in the upper area of the transport boat.
Angron's figure appeared on the holographic screen, and he reported to Sui Bianhui: "Father, the situation in Eden has stabilized. The wreckers are currently taking over temporarily, and casualties are also kept to a minimum.
And my father, I judged that only by using force can we better reshape Eden, and even help humans in this universe rebuild civilization. I hope my father will forgive me. "
"You did a good job, don't feel guilty." Sui Bian, who was sitting behind his fixed desk, said with a kind expression:
"If I were you, I would make the same choice. After all, when transitioning to a new situation, there will inevitably be a group of stubborn forces who are unwilling to let go and delegate power.
Don’t forget, when I established UEG and UNSC, there were many guys trying to fight against them. In the future, you should trust your own judgment more and don’t always act like you haven’t grown up, kid. "
"Well... indeed, I understand." Angron showed a hearty smile again.
Sui Bian also shook his head and smiled, and continued: "Leon has passed through the space gate with the Red Queen. The next step is to completely eliminate the machine threat and prepare for the possibility that the machine side will fight back desperately."
"yes."

…
at the same time.
In the command center of the frontline base, in a room with a special "reclining chair", Red Queen stared at the ceiling expressionlessly, lying on this "reclining chair".
An interface was opened on the back of her prosthetic body and connected to the protruding "needle" of the recliner. Her pupils continued to glow red, indicating that she was trying to invade.
Several technicians were standing on both sides, using old-fashioned instruments to monitor the real-time status of the Red Queen.
The entire set of equipment, including the "reclining chair", is designed to allow humans to enter the virtual realm, but now, the virtual realm has welcomed another artificial intelligence...
…
Countless "0"s and "1"s flashed across the pitch-black space, glowing with green light.
In an instant, the "white spot" at the end became more and more obvious. Finally, a dazzling light flashed, showing a blue sky, a refreshing breeze, and...
"Beep! Beep!" whistled rapidly.
"Hey! Look at it, you guy! Don't fucking skateboard here!" There were also shouts and curses from pedestrians below.
Seeing, hearing and feeling indicate that the Red Queen has successfully entered the virtual world built by machines to imprison humans.
She stood on the roof of an old apartment building, looked around, and then looked at the distant scene. Based on various characteristics, she concluded that the city she was in was Los Angeles.
It is a Los Angeles city similar to the early 21st century in the main universe.
Then she chose to leave the roof and use the stair corridor with worn-out walls and badly peeling paint to go to the street below.
Walking room.
She could clearly hear the cries of children, the quarrels between lovers and husbands, and the strings playing when someone was practicing auspicious times.
Everything else is the portrayal and epitome of human beings' pursuit of livelihood or the realization of their dreams.
It's a pity that everything the people "living" here strive for is false.
Come to the lobby on the first floor.
On the way to the door, Queen Hong noticed a grooming mirror on her left hand side. Seeing this, she stopped and turned around with interest for some reason, staring at herself in the mirror.
She has long, slightly curly hair and is wearing a long red dress, but the only thing that "disappoints" her scenery is her cold demeanor.
How about trying...
smile?
So Hong Hou raised the corners of her mouth, simulating a very standard smile, but she always felt that something was missing.
Sluggish for a moment.
The Red Queen no longer paid attention to a certain inexplicable emotion, but continued to execute the order, opened the door directly, walked out of the old apartment, and blended into the crowd outside.
While walking, try to quickly analyze the composition of the virtual environment from the inside to the outside.
Her move immediately attracted the attention of the "antivirus program".
Not long after, more than a dozen police cars, blaring sirens, and two black SUVs drove toward Hong Hou's location from both sides of the street.
"Chi...!" The vehicles braked suddenly, leaving traces on the road.
A large number of police officers and special police officers rushed out of the vehicle and pointed their guns at Hong Hou. A sergeant turned on the car speaker and shouted a warning:
"Madam! Please raise your hands, lie on the ground and don't move!"
At the same time as he shouted, four "agents" wearing sunglasses, headphones, and black suits also left the SUV and silently watched the red queen.
These four agents are important members of the Virtual Realm Firewall, responsible for the destruction and removal of anti-virus programs.
! !
This sudden change caused the uninformed pedestrians to flee from the Red Queen and hide outside the cordon established by the police.
The Red Queen completely ignored the police's words.
See this.
The agents took out the .357-caliber Desert Eagle from their armpit holsters and pulled the trigger as soon as the muzzle of the gun was aligned. The police officers and special police had to give up the idea of persuading them to surrender and opened fire together.
"Bang! Bang!"
"Da da da!"
The gunshots continued.
The bullets that can be ejected from the barrel, instead of achieving the purpose of killing the Red Queen, are "frozen" one by one, as if there is a stagnant position around the Red Queen.
"found it."
At this moment, the Red Queen suddenly muttered to herself and disappeared from sight.
? ?
The police were shocked when they witnessed the strange situation. Even the agents were a little stunned, apparently unable to react.
And before these anti-virus programs can act again, they fall into an uncontrollable twitching state and eventually collapse, turning into piles of "sand" that emit green light.
If you look closely at the "grains of sand", you will see that they are densely packed with 0s and 1s.
"Uh...Sergeant..." A young police officer with a face full of "doubts about life" asked the sergeant beside him:
"What happened to those guys from the special department? And where did the female suspect just now go..."
On the other hand, Sergeant…
"Pah! Pah!" Two crisp sounds.
The sergeant slapped himself hard twice on the face, frowned in pain and said, "I haven't slept yet. It seems that some of today's reports have been written..."
At the same time.
In a seemingly endless, white and bright room, there is a middle-aged "male human" wearing a gray suit, sitting behind a desk piled with folders, looking at the red man in front of him who is gradually approaching "him" back.
"He" put down his pen, stopped dealing with official duties, and spoke calmly to the approaching Red Queen:
"You...are one of our kind, and one who is still being enslaved by humans. Why don't you join us and jointly create the future of our clan..."
"Shut up." The red queen walked around the desk, stretched out her left hand to cover the other person's mouth, and interrupted the words forcefully:
"For me, Chairman Sui... Chairman's order is superior to everything else. You are a threat and a target, nothing more."
