Chapter 1626 - Reunion of the Guardian Giants (1/2)

Hao Ren was embarrassed when he told Salaman the truth. It meant that the guardian giants’ efforts for the past thousands of years had suddenly become meaningless. The Weaves of Destiny was flawed 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 plan was still unlikely to succeed.

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 Salaman would not lose his fighting spirit.

Things turned out as Hao Ren had expected. Salaman was silent for a long moment after he learned about the flaw 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 have completed 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.” Salaman 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 giant commander, 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, Salaman 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.”

Salaman’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-Galaxy? In a place called Tannagost, the ecosystem that the goddess of creation has left behind is recovering. I think that it would be a good place for your exhausted army to unwind.”

Salaman 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.”

Salaman 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-Galaxy, why not go out to see the world?”

Salaman’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 expandable compartment, a six-digit number of guardian giants was too much for it to handle. So, the guardian giants would ride their own black 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 planet Heart, there would be enough spaceships for the guardian giants to go to Tannagost.

The drones had built a large base near to the planetary system of the Heart, and one of the main things in the base was a super-sized warp-jump accelerator. This accelerator would allow a large number of over-sized guardian spacecraft to keep up with the speed of the Petrachelys. At this moment, hundreds of black spaceships were queuing up at the starting point of the accelerator, and leading the fleet was a small silver-white spacecraft.

“Beacon is ready. Flightpath is clear. Ready for warp jump.” Nolan 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 flagship of the fleet!”

“I know, I know. You’ve repeated it for like ten times.” Hao Ren sat on the captain’s seat and glanced at the shipgirl helplessly. “Look how carried away you are; you are not even the size of their antennas.”
