Chapter 131 - 131: 130: Ambushed!
People who were originally scattered across various bases have been gathered and relocated to a new place.
The city that used to be the capital of Shuchuan province is a large basin, large enough to accommodate tens of millions of people.
After cleanup, the people have already restored this city to a modern appearance.
Naturally, water, electricity, and Internet were first to be restored.
As modern humans, we can’t live without the Internet, which is an important channel for people to obtain information.
However, on Earth at present, only the local planet’s Internet is open, and this is not intentional restriction by the leaders.
Rather, there are only a few over a hundred devices on Earth that can connect to the wasteland star area network.
These devices are neither too expensive nor cheap, and it is unrealistic to provide one for each ordinary citizen.
However, on August 8, all people were ecstatic!
For, the Earth Alliance transferred a portion of the content of the Wasteland Star Area Network to the local area network of Earth.
This included everything Du Gang had done and fought when he reached the Planet Overlord system.
Besides that, there were also some reviews of Du Gang and attitudes towards Earth on the Wasteland network.
Wasteland Times: “Earth Civilization is obviously just a newborn civilization.
You could even say that without Du Gang, they wouldn’t even qualify as a Level One civilization. However, there are no ifs. Under Du Gang’s protection, they will hop on the fastest development train in the history of the wasteland star area, hence becoming the civilization that has made the shortest leap from primitive to secondary…”
Wasteland Review: “You can imagine that under this heap of material compensation and aid from the Planet Overlord System, Earth Civilization will rapidly evolve at a rocket-like speed and reach the level it should have…”
Wasteland Headlines: “From here, we can see how profound the influence that a powerful person can bring to their civilization…”
“As long as you are powerful, you can even help your civilization rapidly leap forward and become the hero of your entire civilization…”
“I believe that in the future, Du Gang will not only be recorded in our wasteland star area’s history books but also become a great figure in Earth Civilization…” The Earth Alliance officially set up a program group responsible for transferring factual content from all over the universe.
Moreover, they selectively also transferred over some comment sections of certain content.
Clearly, all comments under these contents are praises and admirations for Du Gang. However, this time, they did not selectively choose content.
Because, this time, there really were so many people worshipping Du Gang!
Looking at the reports from major star system media and admiration from civilians of various civilizations for Du Gang, all Earthlings felt a sense of pride.
“See, this is our God of War!”
“This is our great Earth Alliance Master!”
If before, people accepted Du Gang as Earth Alliance Master out of respect for his power and fear of him.
Now, people from the depth of their hearts have changed their views on Du Gang.
In everyone’s eyes, Du Gang is a qualified Alliance Master!
He not only saved Earth from a possible disaster, but he also fought for a very promising future for Earth!
Even, many people spontaneously took to the streets, shouting the name of War God Du Gang in reverence.
It can be said that Du Gang’s name, at this moment, has reached a very high height.
He is not only the first Earth Alliance Master but also a belief for the current Earthlings!
At this moment, at the temporary command post of the Earth Alliance.
In addition to the original inhabitants of Earth, half of the members of the Barnard family were also here.
At the center of these people were Du Gang and the Overlord, they had already taken a spaceship to Earth.
They began discussing the issue of Earth reconstruction.
Originally, these issues should not have been handled by Du Gang and Overlord, they could have delegated it to their subordinates, but Du Gang was worried about the leadership on his side being unable to fully act due to the gap between the enemy and us. So, just to be safe, he kept Overlord by his side, listening in on the joint discussions of Earth’s construction plan.
With Du Gang and Overlord present, the senior engineers of Barnard all dared not show any arrogance, at this moment they all respectfully presented all the beneficial plans for Earth, narrating them slowly.
On Earth’s side, it was Lu Zhou acting as a representative, asking some professional questions from time to time, to ensure that everything could meet standard.
After all, these were all obtained for Earth by Du Gang, missing this opportunity, developing to the level of Planet Overlord would take a long time.
After observing for a while and making sure that the people of Earth will not be slaughtered when he’s not there, Du Gang, accompanied by Overlord, left the meeting venue to get some fresh air.
Similarly, once the Overlord made sure that Du Gang wouldn’t kill him, he dropped his previous restraint, smiling and asking:’Your civilization still follows this alliance system?”
Du Gang glanced at him and nodded his head: “Otherwise?”
Overlord laughed: “Our Barnard’s civilization, was once like that, elevating from a technological society to a level one civilization…”
“Back then, it was also the Barnard Alliance, dozens of countries around the world, forming a single community…”
“However, as time went by, cosmic culture continuously invaded, causing some people’s ideas to change…”
“Around the centennial of the Alliance, Barnard’s first meteorite-level powerhouse appeared.”
“Since then, everything has changed!”
“He assumed the position of Alliance lead in the first fifty years, but afterwards, after those of his era all died of old age, he completely let loose…”
“You know, purple-level powerhouses, can extend their lifespan by about a hundred years, but reaching the meteorite level, one’s lifespan can be extended by five hundred years…”
“Therefore, around the bicentennial of the Alliance, he changed the entire political structure of Barnard, disbanded the Alliance and established a monarchy!”
“Of course, there were many people opposing it at the time, but he stubbornly spent two hundred years, grinding down all those who opposed him…”
“Since then, Barnard’s civilization became one that respects power, which is consistent with the norm of the broader cosmos!”
Overlord sighed: “Cosmic laws can’t be changed by individuals like you and me, this essence of the strong leading will eventually replace the characteristics that belong to each civilization…”
Du Gang squinted his eyes: “You mean, I should be king?”
Overlord laughed: “Don’t you find that too many people have a say in things?”
His meaning was, there are too many leaders in your alliance, and despite being so weak, you all talk a lot. If it weren’t for Du Gang’s presence, he wouldn’t have been able to tolerate it.
“Like our Barnard, we essentially have a monarchy system and a Barnard system…
“The monarchy system is dedicated to serving the king, while the Barnard system, is responsible for all livelihood issues. For these livelihood issues, that’s where these experts come in handy…”
Du Gang thought for a moment and shook his head: “I understand what you mean, but it’s not possible now. At least, I have no intention of being a king yet.
As for the future, we can discuss that when the time comes!”
At that moment, his communicator rang, glancing down he saw it was Yao Zhenguo.
As soon as he answered, Yao Zhenguo hurriedly said, “Chairman, someone from the Hall of Gods has arrived outside Earth requesting permission to land. They say they brought Nalan Yanran’s body back as a gift…’
Du Gang quickly looked up at the stars, saw nothing, meaning the spaceship was not hovering in this star space.
He quickly asked, “What level spaceship did they come in?”
“A two-star E-class spaceship!”
Du Gang then turned his head towards Overlord and asked, “Who typically uses this level of spaceship?”
Overlord laughed, “The Hall of Gods is a force that highly respects rules. Normally, a four-star E-class spaceship can only be used by their God King, and there is only one…”
“A three-star E-class spaceship is the vehicle of choice for the other eleven Main Gods!”
“Two-star E-class spaceships are typically used by subordinate gods…in other words, meteorite-level powerhouses leading teams!”
Upon hearing this, Du Gang nodded and replied, “Tell them to land at the old Nanyuan base. I’m heading over to assess the situation.”
Normally, alien spaceships visiting would park outside satellite bases, and the visitors would land using small spacecraft.
However, Earth currently has no satellite bases to accommodate the arrival of alien spaceships. They must let them land directly.
Moreover, according to cosmic etiquette, if the visitors are of Meteorite Level, they would usually be received by someone of the same rank.
The problem is, apart from Du Gang, Earth doesn’t even have a single Purple Level warrior. Therefore, he has no choice but to greet them himself. Soon. he and the Overlord took off. flying across the sky towards Nanynan
It wasn’t far to the former Nanyuan base – only a hundred kilometers or so.
Given the speed they could achieve in their humanoid forms, they reached there in just a dozen seconds.
By this point, in the sky above, they could already see the spaceship adorned with the emblem of the Hall of Gods.
Clearly, the ship was on a mission of goodwill; it was descending rather slowly.
The Overlord chuckled, “Looks like the Hall of Gods isn’t intending to become your enemy!”
Du Gang nodded in agreement.
Perhaps noticing their arrival, the spaceship hovering in mid-air accelerated its descent to avoid making them wait too long.
In no time, it landed on the ground just twenty meters away from Du Gang and the Overlord.
With a heavy thud, the cabin door opened and an expressionless yet handsome man in regular battle attire descended.
Behind him, a row of men and women followed, with the front four carrying a rectangular wooden plank.
Du Gang immediately fixed his gaze on the wooden plank. Sure enough, the person lying on it was Nalan Yanran.
“Great!”
He burst into laughter, and a sigh of relief. Nalan Yanran’s death signified the complete demise of his enemies.
Thus, a dozen people from the other side approached them.
Meanwhile, the Overlord looked puzzled. He felt he recognized the figure at the front, but he couldn’t remember where from. Moreover, all of them exuded a substantial aura that distinguished them from ordinary meteorite-level warriors…
When the crowd got close enough for negotiations, the Overlord finally recognized a familiar face from the back row.
Ares?
He was slightly taken aback. The current Ares didn’t carry the air of divinity he had when garbed in golden armor. Dressed in a dark, ordinary battle suit, head bowed, he looked like a typical soldier.
At this moment, many thoughts raced through his mind.
He then realized why the man at the front looked so familiar. That was the face of God King Zeus, featured in the school textbooks of his childhood!
No sooner had he spoken than Zeus made his move.
“Arc Lightning!”
The lightning he summoned moved faster than his voice. The instant the Overlord opened his mouth, it was unleashed.
Zzap, zzap, zzap!
A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl shot straight at Du Gang. The moment it hit him, it ricocheted towards the Overlord.
Buzz!
As for Du Gang, the lightning only caused a slightly tingly sensation and dealt no substantial harm.
However, for the Overlord, it was a stealth attack from a Comet-level powerhouse.
With a thud, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was filled with electricity, which kept surging continuously.
This single strike severely wounded him, reducing him to a state of immobility.
Meanwhile, the eleven ones behind Zeus used their divine powers at the same instant he attacked.
In an instant, a flurry of varied attacks – wind, fire, thunder, lightning — rained down on them.
Now, this barrage of attacks hit him one after the other, throwing him off his feet. Blood gushed unceasingly from his body, staining the ground.
The Twelve Main Gods!
If Du Gang still didn’t understand who these visitors were, then he would be a complete fool.
His immediate instinct was to transform, but he hesitated and didn’t.
The current location, Nanyuan base, may be deserted, but it’s only a hundred kilometers away from human settlements on Earth.
The destructive power that a battle between him and these people in transformed state could generate was enough to end human existence on Earth completely.
He must not transform!
This realization hit him instantly and made him think: He must take the battle to outer space!
After casting the lightning spell, Zeus didn’t stop attacking.
‘Electrostatic Field!”
The next moment, an area spanning several tens of meters around him was engulfed by an electrostatic field teeming with countless lightning bolts.
Meanwhile, the eleven gods behind Zeus arranged themselves in accordance with a certain formation, forming an enormous pattern with Zeus at the center.
“The twelve houses in position!”
A series of golden chains suddenly appeared, linking the twelve together.
At this moment, Zeus’s electrostatic field, initially only several hundred meters in diameter, suddenly expanded.
The next second, the twelve disappeared in an instant. When they reappeared, they had Du Gang surrounded.
They had anticipated beforehand that conventional attacks would prove futile. Therefore, under Zeus’s guidance, a combined control formation was successfully launched.
Meanwhile, after resisting several attacks, Du Gang used his gravitational power to propel himself skyward.
Clang!
Barely off the ground, he was struck by an invisible force that pressed him back down to the Earth.
Simultaneously, Zeus’s field, which initially expanded to several hundred meters in diameter, suddenly contracted and morphed into a field covering only several meters around him.
The field may have contracted, but its power had greatly intensified.
Du Gang’s motion, which had been decent till now, abruptly faltered. A severe pain permeated his nervous system.
Fatigue, weakness, irritation, dizziness – this series of negative effects started to gradually take hold.
Thud!
Unexpectedly, the once vigorous Du Gang now seemed to have lost all strength. Unable to support himself any longer, he fell heavily to the ground.
“Hold on, assimilate him!”
With a calm tone, Zeus commanded, simultaneously pressing a button in his hand.
The very next moment, infinite spaceships appeared in the outer space around
Earth..
