<h4>Chapter 1626: Reunion of the Guardian Giants</h4>
Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion
Hao Ren was embarrassed when he told Sman the truth. It meant that the guardian giants’ efforts for the past thousands of years had suddenly be meaningless. The Weaves of Destiny was wed from the very beginning. Even if Vivian, whom the guardians called the Lord of the Throne and whom they had been waiting for the entire time, had arrived, the goddess of creation’s n was still unlikely to seed.
Hao Ren did not intend to hide the truth because the guardian giants deserved to know everything about the Weaves of Destiny. And he believed that Sman would not lose his fighting spirit.
Things turned out as Hao Ren had expected. Sman was silent for a long moment after he learned about the w of the Weaves of Destiny. He was emotionally unstable for a while, but in the end, he pulled through and shook his head with a sense of relief. “It does not matter; after all, we havepleted the job that our mother has given to us.”
“We would’ve inevitably had to postpone the activation of the Weaves of Destiny.” Hao Ren was careful with his choice of words. “It has a serious design problem, and it is beyond our level of expertise to fix it. I will have to refer to my boss.”
“I understand.” Sman nodded. “We have been waiting here for 10,000 years; we do not mind waiting a few more years. There is no more threat from the freaks. For the Guardian Legion, this has been a long-awaited moment.”
Looking at the giantmander, it reminded Hao Ren about something he had thought of before. “Apart from rebuilding the facilities here, do you have anything else to do?”
Curiously, Sman looked at Hao Ren. “The Guardian Legion is freer than ever. What can we do for you? Just say it, and we will spare no effort.”
“No, I am not asking for help, but something better.” Hao Ren waved. “Do you not want to meet your other fellow guardian giants? There are only three of them, though.”
Sman’s eyes brightened up. “Ahh, the three guardian giants you mentioned before?”
“That’s right. They are in my base and looking forward to the reunion.” Hao Ren had a smile across his face. “At first, I thought of bringing them over here. But as you know, the war is just over, and there is nothing to see except ruins over here. So, are you and your subordinates interested in seeing the world outside the X-Gxy? In a ce called Tannagost, the ecosystem that the goddess of creation has left behind is recovering. I think that it would be a good ce for your exhausted army to unwind.”
Sman was a little hesitant. “But the reconstruction work here—”
“The drones will handle most of the reconstruction work. You just have to give them the blueprint, and they could even make you an Amantir.” Hao Ren waved his hand. “And I did not say you have to bring the entire army at one go. They can take turns.”
Sman was moved. Vivian quickly chimed in. “The outside world needs you too. We have found many of the goddess of creation’s legacies, and the reconstruction at the Gate of Solenne needs people. The drones might be good helpers, but I think that you guy, the guardian giants, must be keen to participate in the reconstruction. Instead of sitting idle in the X-Gxy, why not go out to see the world?”
Sman’s poker face finally let out a rare smile. “I have no reason to decline.”
There was no way that the Petrachelys could transport all of the giants at once. Even with the use of its science-defying expandablepartment, a six-digit number of guardian giants was too much for it to handle. So, the guardian giants would ride their own ck battleships to Tannagost.
Many of the guardian battleships were heavily damaged during the battle earlier. The damage of the super-sized motherships was especially severe because the festered army had given them ‘special attention’ in the battle. These spaceships would have to dock at the spaceports for months pending repair before they could fly again. But Hao Ren did not have to bring the entire Guardian Legion to Tannagost. Only one-third of them would go at a time. So, even if some battleships had to be on standby at the Heart, there would be enough spaceships for the guardian giants to go to Tannagost.
The drones had built arge base near to theary system of the Heart, and one of the main things in the base was a super-sized warp-jump elerator. This elerator would allow arge number of over-sized guardian spacecraft to keep up with the speed of the Petrachelys. At this moment, hundreds of ck spaceships were queuing up at the starting point of the elerator, and leading the fleet was a small silver-white spacecraft.
“Beacon is ready. Flightpath is clear. Ready for warp jump.” Nn stood on the bridge of the Petrachelys with a smile spread across her face. She looked back (with the flip of the camera) at the massive fleet of spacecraft behind her. “Hey, boss, I’m the gship of the fleet!”
“I know, I know. You’ve repeated it for like ten times.” Hao Ren sat on the captain’s seat and nced at the shipgirl helplessly. “Look how carried away you are; you are not even the size of their antennas.”
“It is because of the tonnage difference that I should be proud of,” Nn said with her armed crossed. “There is only convincing because of theparison, and sense of existence because of the contrast. I told you what, I have already taken pictures and will post them on the forum so that those rookies will learn what it means bybat strength. It is not something that they could achieve simply by swapping the engine and stuff like that. They will know that I am the boss whomands an interster battlegroup. Oh, by the way, I can also show off the photos of the battle scenes when back home.”
Hao Ren looked at Nn, dumbstruck. Suddenly, it felt as if his pet cat, which had suddenly learned how to selfie and surf the social media, went on to show off her catfight photos online.
On the soft cushion not far away, Rollie, who was lying there getting some shuteye, suddenly looked up at Hao Ren. When she found that no one was calling her, she meowed andid back down, continuing with her fishy dreams.
The rings on the elerator track glowed. The fleet began to elerate and fade gradually.
“Warp jump begins. Destination: CARS, Tannagost.”
When the fleet came out of the warp jump, the image of Tannagost showed up on the monitors of every spaceship. A crystal-clear fortress like a mythical creature was suspended above the and shining brightly in space like the temple of the gods in mythology.
CARS sent a wee message. It was the first time the space station that was asrge as a small moon had such arge number of visitors. But it had enough built-in docking berths to amodate the entire fleet.
The lower part of the space station lit up and silently opened like petals, from which hundreds of long bridges with a graceful curvature stretched out into space. As light scattering out from the crystal bridges, they materialized into berths.
“Wee to the Crapple Research Station, the bridgehead of the Observer in this universe and the base from where the forces of the Orderunch counterattacks against the Mad Lord.” The holographic image of Hao Ren appeared on the Aiur. “Commander, I hope you enjoy your stay.”
“I saw the.” Sman’s attention was more on Tannagost, and he seemed emotional. “Just as you have said, the habitable is recovering. I can feel the power of our mother surging on the surface of the. Ahh, how many years have passed since west felt the air of life and order?’
Hao Ren smiled. He knew that Sman was referring to the air of the lifeblood on Tannagost. The Heart was also an important legacy of the goddess of creation, but she had suppressed her aura when she built the sacrednd to ensure that the Weaves of Destiny could run as usual after her death. Until now, there was still contamination from the minions of the Mad Lord on the. So, when the guardian giants saw Tannagost, they could not help but be emotional.
“No worries. CARS is only a transit point. The space station has a teleporting facility that can send everyone directly to the surface. You can visit the after docking your spaceships here. Most of the ces are still wilderness, and the cities and settlements were of the Zorm Civilization. You—”
“We will not disturb them,” Sman said before Hao Ren finished. The old giant smiled. “Do not worry, we might not be born as gardeners, but Mother had taught every guardian giant the same things. I have heard that the Zorm Civilization has juste out of a crisis and built their cities, arge group of giants might cause a lot of troubles to them. But then again, do they need help? It is not easy to rebuild civilization from scratch.”
“Muru is looking after them.” Hao Ren shook his head with a smile. “And the Zormese is very self-reliant. They have reduced receiving food rations from me sincest years. It has been only two years, yet they are ready to be self-sufficient in food.”
Sman nodded in agreement. “Many times, the mortals show some amazing quality. No wonder that Mother liked them so much. Compared to ‘power’ that could be readily acquired through various means, quality arising from within is more important.”
Thirty minutester, Sman and the first batch of guardian giants had arrived on the surface of Tannagost via teleportation.
It was impossible to send hundreds of thousands of guardian giants to the same ce at one time, so Hao Ren had chosen a vast wastnd in the north of the as thending spot. The giantsnded in dozens of batches in different ces in the wilderness. After thending, it was Sman and his men’s turn to think about how to organize their visits.
With Muru as the leader, Lemendusa and Heve met their fellow giants atst. After epting the fact that the entire guardian giant race had vanished and that they were the only remnants, they were now seeing so many fellow guardian giants before their eyes.
It was the first time Hao Ren seeing the guardian giants cried as they embraced each other.
