Collection room.
The place is neat and tidy, with a dark red carpet covering the marble tile floor, which contrasts sharply with the white walls and ceiling. The overall style is simple and clear.
Under the warm light, what reflects the "attractive" edge are the magic weapons placed in the display cabinets.
There are Cassius guns with blood-red blades, like sisters of the Spear of Terror, and hanging on the wall, which were originally the sun bows of Apollo, the god of light, etc., and nearly one-third of the "collections" , all once belonged to a group of fallen gods of Olympus.
As for the thunder that made Artemis restrain her playful attitude and kept her eyes fixed on it, the main body was like a "z" crystal, which was placed in a display cabinet in the center.
She walked slowly with Sui Bian to the display cabinet.
Sui Bian, who sensed Artemis's emotions, did not explain anything to her immediately. Instead, he completed the biological unlocking, opened the cabinet door, stretched out his right hand to take out the thunder, and handed it to Artemis.
Said: "I think it's time to give this to you. Thank you for your contributions to mankind over the years."
"This..." Artemis was a little confused, but still instinctively took the thunder, feeling its moderate weight and cold touch.
She couldn't believe that Sui Bian would easily give her the "supreme" and "infinitely powerful" thunder.
"I know what you are thinking." Sui Bian didn't care. He put his hands behind his back and walked to the row of display cabinets on the right to view them, while explaining to Artemis:
"Whether there is thunder or not, it doesn't matter to me. Infinity plus one still equals infinity, but for you, it is a qualitative change. Besides..."
Having said this, Sui Bian stopped, turned slightly, looked at Artemis who had come not far behind him, and continued: "That is your father's relic, and it's time to give it to you."
Sui Bian did this, just as he just described, while expressing his gratitude, it could also "strengthen" Artemis' strength again.
The current thunder contained the pure spiritual energy he had instilled. If Artemis released all her spiritual energy at the beginning of the battle, then "exploding the star with one blow" would be a basic operation.
In this way, although Artemis, who possesses the moonlight scimitar, full moon bow and thunder, is far less powerful than any of the original bodies, she can at least easily expel and destroy high-level demons, "big demons" in other spaces, or It is to kill the green-skinned boss.
Regarding the matter of spiritual energy being plundered, even if he didn't say it, Artemis would have known about it for a long time. Moreover, Artemis had proved her worth and gained his trust and recognition.
However, twenty-four years ago, Sui Bian "returned" psychic powers, making Artemis no longer the "blank slate" she was when she first joined Umbrella, unable to use any psychic powers, let alone use any "magic" .
As for how much Sui Bian lost after "returning" his spiritual energy... This is difficult to describe. To describe it according to his own feelings, he can compare his spiritual energy to the water of the Dead Sea. If he uses a 2-liter bucket , and the part filled with it into the Dead Sea is the spiritual energy of Artemis in its peak state.
Therefore, if it is not paid back yet, it will not have much impact on Sui Bian at this stage, but humans can have a hunting goddess who has returned to her peak state and possesses three sharp weapons.
After listening to what Sui Bian said and adding the word "relic", Artemis no longer hesitated and accepted the thunder calmly. At the same time, she no longer looked as confused as before, but had a frivolous left eyebrow. , said with a smile: "Since the boss is so generous, I will accept it as a thank you gift, why don't we..."
"You need to pay more attention to Leon." Sui Bian interrupted the other party's words, turned around completely, looked directly at Artemis, and said a reminder: "The total population of the Temple Sector is less than 40 billion, and the territory is vast. It’s sparsely populated, and the Supervision Department has also uploaded many reports on demonic incidents recently, and you and the Gray Knights’ assistance is needed there.”
Hearing this, Artemis had no choice but to restrain her joking attitude, straighten her face, and nodded solemnly: "I will do it."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Um."
After the two of them finished talking, Artemis picked up the Thunderbolt and left the collection room. Sui Bian came to the display case where the Cassius gun was placed, and asked the red and white queens, who had always had no sense of their presence, " Regarding the investigation of Queen of the Gods...how is the progress?"
"I have conducted a secondary screening and found no abnormalities for the time being." Queen Bai's prosthetic body showed a hint of helplessness: "Chairman, according to the description of Artemis, the God of Hunting, Queen Hera is the best at using it." "Spell" and "Illusion" is one of the main gods. If it wants to hide in the world, especially in today's vast territory, it is almost impossible to accurately lock it unless "her" large-scale psychic fluctuations are detected."
"The progress of the Supervision Department and the Intelligence Department is equally slow." The Red Queen also said.
"okay, I get it."
After hearing the news, Sui Bian asked no more questions.
Hera, in fact, after Sui Bian "forced to awaken" Artemis and rescued Hephaestus, he tried to find the queen, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus.
It's a pity that at that time, his psychic energy was far inferior to what it is now. When he reached the ranks of "planetary level" psychics, humans had already entered the interstellar age and carried out colonization activities in and outside the solar system. As for Hera must have left the earth long ago.
Although the Queen of Gods has never appeared and is at peace with humans, this does not mean that Hera, like Artemis, can be subtly "assimilated" by Sui Bian and perfectly integrated into human society.
What's more, after the storm in the different space more than 20 years ago, Sui Bian put the search for Hera on the agenda, and "incidentally" investigated the gods who entered the different space with Zeus but had no news at all, such as the Greek gods. The famous "good old god", Hades.
A little silence.
Sui Bian stopped thinking about appreciating the collection and left the collection room. He told his two secretaries: "Notify the heads of the Intelligence Department and the Supervision Department, and continue the investigation and search for a while."
"Yes (good)." The red and white queens responded in unison.
Next.
The collection room that lost the three "people" of Sui and Bian automatically turned off the lights. However, the various collections placed in the display cabinets still exuded and shone with "their" respective lights.
outdoor,
outside the building,
Outside the earth's core world, and in the cosmic domain strewn with rubble and debris, one can directly see the Terra Shield located in the Kuiper Belt, orbiting the sun.
As a shield world with a diameter of 7,000 kilometers and a mass several times that of the Earth, it is completely unable to approach the Earth, otherwise it will bring destruction to the Earth, so it has to park in the Kuiper Belt at the edge of the solar system.
At this moment, the surface of the Shield of Terra is covered with "natural" geographical features such as plains, forests, and oceans. Moreover, there are many military bases and star ports used to garrison soldiers and park various warships and ships on the surface.
Fourteen years ago, when Robert pulled this man-made planet back into the solar system, it aroused widespread attention and excitement in society.
After the war, the official explanation was that when Robert, Leon and other Primarchs led an expeditionary force to deal with the Greenskin Empire, they also captured planet-level vehicles built by the "ancient race".
Naturally, the public has no objections to this explanation, which is almost equivalent to "telling the truth." To a certain extent, they have become "accustomed to it."
You must know that in the first expedition, humans "pulled" back a dwarf planet-level City of Charity. In this second expedition, isn't it normal to "entrust" back the Shield of Terra?
What about the third time?
People even began to look forward to it. After all, this was the best proof that people had absolute confidence in the legion and the fleet.
As for the position of Speaker, even though there is no clear legal provision, in theory and tacit "rules", a politician can serve no more than two consecutive terms.
On the other hand, Sui Bian, who has sat in the position of speaker for 26 years, is not a simple politician. He is more like a "symbol" to the people, a...
As long as Sui Bian is still "willingly" on the bright side, mankind will be protected for a long time, and the young people will not have the courage to invade and provoke.
It can be said that when society learned that Sui Bian was the father of the original body and his various deeds, people unknowingly regarded Sui Bian as a "guardian" and the "god" of the human race.
This also ushered in a lot of "distress".
For example, regarding him as "God" can cause many chain reactions, such as "Lord of Humanity", "Light of Humanity" and other churches and believers.
In this regard, Sui Bian no longer directly dispatched ghost agents or the emergency response team of the Ministry of Intelligence to eradicate them as he had in the past. This time, he "took the opposite approach" and with the assistance of the Red and White Emperors , wrote "Human Truth".
The content of the truth mainly emphasizes that there are no monsters in the universe. Everything can be interpreted through scientific and spiritual means. Human beings will defeat everything with reason, faith and firm belief. Nothing should be worshiped. In a rational universe, The backward concept of “religion” needs to be eradicated.
When "Human Truth" was publicized by Queen Bai and Sui Bian gave a speech in person, Umbrella did not need to deliberately suppress it, and those religions and believers were spontaneously boycotted by people.
Moreover, the more people firmly believe in the "Human Truth" and believe in the words of Sui Bian, the "Guardian", then the total amount of Sui Bian's spiritual energy will continue to grow.
For this reason, when Sui Bian participated in the 2120 election, he was successfully re-elected with a support rate of 96%, becoming the first "human" to be elected speaker for three consecutive terms.
This result is inevitable. Even if Sui Bian does not perform any secret operations, the approval rate will remain stable at 95.33%.
Whether it is military force or "political achievements", Sui Bian is the only one among all mankind, unmatched by anyone. Therefore, it is logical for him to continue to serve as the Speaker and sit in the solar system to deter the galaxy.

…
In the warehouse of a certain star port.
"Hey! You guys, send the goods to the third area. It's the third area. Don't make a mistake!"
"Be careful, man, these are all the goods of the Supervision Department."
Umbrella workers can be seen everywhere, driving engineering mechas and exoskeletons, carrying black containers or sealed boxes of different sizes to and from the gravity elevator numbered "3" installed on the westernmost side of the warehouse. .
At this time, a team of workers carried the goods belonging to the Engineering Department to the square lifting platform No. 3. After waiting for about five seconds, a light cyan light appeared around the platform, and then the platform carried them through the opening above. The gate leaves the warehouse.
Float to the outside world.
Sitting in the engineering mecha, the worker wearing a peaked cap backwards took a break from the busy work and took advantage of the afternoon sun to overlook the entire starport.
There were dozens of giant cargo ships belonging to Umbrella or other companies moored at the star port where they were located. There were also busy workers taking elevators to shuttle between the cargo ships and the ground warehouses.
Looking further into the distance, the outer edge of the star port is a landscape similar to the African grasslands, as well as a metropolitan area under construction. It seems that this area, and even this planet, is a newly developed colony.
Looking up, we see the workers’ “destination,” a three-kilometer-long, jet-black, specially modified Phoenix III-class aircraft carrier, the USS Eudora.
The lifting platform passes through the air valve gate in the belly of the Eudora hull, and then uses the left end to dock with the cargo deck of the hull to facilitate workers to transport and unload cargo.
Not far from the air valve gate, there is a group of agents who seem to be "supervising the work." If you look closely, you can see that the first two people are the blond men wearing white shirts and black trousers, Leon S. Kennedy, and the one wearing a black cheongsam and a red light jacket. Ada King in leather.
Moreover, the "bodyguard" team of agents such as Leon and Ada is also somewhat special, because they are all expressionless tyrants equipped with windbreaker restraints. "Their" captain is the one who fought through hell with D-1999. Not only did he not Death, but the tracker who is still alive today.
The well-funded Umbrella regulatory agency has implemented varying degrees of upgrades, stabilization, and transformation surgeries on both tyrants and trackers.
Although "their" height remains at 2.5-6 meters, "their" faces and skin are closer to those of ordinary people, but... the tracker's mouth with exposed gums and iconic one eye are "stability". Forced to remain.
Silent, with bright eyes, and even some micro-expressions on their faces, it means that the tyrants and trackers already have a considerable level of IQ.
"hui~" Seeing the workers taking the lift platform to leave the cargo hold again, Leon couldn't help but whistle, then turned on the headset communication and reminded: "Attention everyone on the Eudora, the next trip should be the last batch of cargo, so be prepared Sail away from the starport and prepare for the jump voyage."
Finished.
From the corner of his eye, Leon noticed that Ada's expression seemed a little serious, and he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What's wrong?"
"..." Ada stared closely at the largest black container, silent for a few seconds, and said: "I don't know, but the things that Crawford and the others dug out from the ruins of unknown civilization always gave me a feeling that this mission might be Something unexpected happened.”
"Accident?" Leon was stunned for a moment, then smiled and comforted: "Miss Wang, you and I have been partners for many years, are there still such things as accidents? Are they commonplace? Haha~"
Ada: "..."
