Chapter 66

"I understand."

Seele nodded, her expression neither happy nor sad.

She had only one thought in her mind: whether she was fighting the scum from the Overworld or the Fragmentum creatures later, she would take at least one more down with her.

However, just at this moment.

Several figures appeared from the passage connecting the Overworld and the Underworld.

"Bronya?"

Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, please do not order an attack; Belobog can still be saved!" Bronya said hurriedly.

"Bronya, this is not a playground for children; I will protect your safety!" Cocolia said in a stern tone.

Bronya did not back down. While signaling Gepard to prepare to release the pill, she spoke to everyone in her youthful voice.

"A god! A god has come to save us!"

"He has brought sufficient food, warm clothes, mountains of energy, and weapons from beyond the sky to strike back against the monsters!"

"Belobog still has a tomorrow!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was quiet at first, followed by skepticism.

A god?

Where was there a god?

For seven hundred years, has the Aeon of Preservation ever glanced at them even once?

"Bronya..."

Cocolia was just about to say something when a Silvermane Guard suddenly ran over and shouted in an incredulous tone.

"Supreme Guardian, the Legion... the Legion and the Fragmentum creatures have started fighting!"

Huh?

In an instant, everyone couldn't believe it.

A god...

Had really come?

49. Supplies sufficient to rebuild civilization? Cocolia's despair.

The Silvermane Guard who rushed over brought shocking news.

This news was both surprising and exhilarating.

The three major disasters Belobog was currently facing were the Antimatter Legion, the Fragmentum creatures, and the Eternal Freeze.

The Legion and the Fragmentum were fighting; what did that mean?

It meant that of the three disasters, two could be reduced at once, and they only needed to deal with the cold—that is, keeping warm!

Belobog still had energy reserves, namely, Geomarrow.

It was just that the invasion of the Legion and the Fragmentum made the safe mining areas smaller and smaller, to the point where they couldn't sustain themselves under the cold.

This caused the overall standard of living for the residents to decline, further hitting productivity.

The defensive strength naturally became lower and lower.

It could be said that this was a death loop; without external interference, Belobog's future could only spiral downward, eventually stepping into a bottomless abyss.

That is, extinction.

For countless years, the people of Belobog had prayed to the gods.

But no god had ever glanced at them even once.

Just like that, they had held on until now.

Originally, there should have been no one left who believed in gods.

The Supreme Guardian didn't believe, and the ordinary residents didn't believe either.

"Soldier, do you know what you are saying?"

Cocolia raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Supreme Guardian, I did not see wrong; our squad members have all confirmed it. The Legion is indeed attacking the Fragmentum. The specific reason is not yet clear."

The Guard replied.

Before Cocolia could say anything, news also came from the gathering place in the Underworld.

When this news spread.

The residents of the Underworld also burst into cheers.

"The Legion is actually fighting the Fragmentum! That old man who went mining with me has no skills at all, but he actually escaped back from the mine!"

"Is that so? But that's the Legion! Would they be so kind?"

"Are you stupid? What is the Legion for? To destroy everything! So why would they only destroy us? Can't Fragmentum creatures be targets for destruction? I think it's very reasonable!"

"What you say makes sense, but... why are they fighting now, not sooner or later?"

"If I knew that, I could be the Supreme Guardian!"

"Wake up, there are no male Supreme Guardians. And didn't that little girl just say it? It's a god!"

Discussions rose and fell.

As more and more people participated, there was more and more information to corroborate it.

Soon, no one was questioning it anymore.

The Legion was really attacking the Fragmentum!

The only thing that needed to be discussed.

Was why the Legion changed its target.

Could it be...

Really because of a god?

After hearing the Guard's news, Bronya's first reaction was the same as most people's.

She couldn't believe it.

Then she thought this was a "plant" her mother had hired for her.

But Cocolia's reaction showed no sign of pretense; clearly, she didn't know either.

As for why she had to borrow the name of a "god."

The reason was simple.

For ordinary people, a god who bestowed supplies was easier to accept than an alien of unknown origin.

Only in this way could the strife be stopped.

It was just that this strife seemed to have already paused? Should she still take out the supplies?

Bronya quickly made a decision.

She still had to take them out.

And she had to strike while the iron was hot; regardless of whether the Legion turning its guns was the work of a "god," this was an opportunity.

An opportunity to integrate the people of the Overworld and the Underworld together to overcome the crisis.

Therefore.

Bronya prepared to continue her plan.

It was hard to imagine that an eight-year-old girl could think so much.

But considering her experiences, as well as her daily learning and talent, it didn't seem strange at all that she could think this much.

Then.

Gepard swung his shield, or rather his "instrument case," heavily toward the ground, making a dull thud that attracted everyone's attention once again.

And according to the plan discussed on the way, he placed the pill in an open space not yet occupied by the crowd, then shouted.

"Everyone, this is the blessing bestowed upon us by the god!"

As soon as the words fell.

The mountain-sized supplies suddenly appeared in the Underworld, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

The near-magical appearance of these supplies made almost everyone present believe it a little bit.

There was no way not to believe it.

Besides a "god," who else would be so kind?
