Chapter 1497: The Advance of Destruction (Jiang Zhen is a Culinary Assassin)

The fleet of the Inquisition marched through the galaxy, sweeping away the Legion of Destruction wherever it went. Although the Antimatter Legion had a clear advantage in terms of numbers, it was a pity that the law that a powerful dragon would not suppress a local snake did not apply to the Inquisition. For the Inquisition, local snakes would be crushed to death.

At this moment, the Inquisition's fleet is like an elephant, moving forward slowly and unswervingly, and destroying all enemies who dare to stand in its way.

with no exceptions.

"Is this what a battle like in the Inquisition is like? I still can't get used to it."

Alicia stretched and grumbled. As fusion warriors fighting against Honkai, Alicia and her companions were good at defense rather than aggression. But now the Inquisition was like a butcher's knife, ruthlessly destroying all enemies in front of it, which made Alicia somewhat uncomfortable.

Although strictly speaking, their enemies weren't good people either... It's just that they were originally just fighting on a planet, but suddenly they had to face a war on a cosmic scale, which made them somewhat... uncomfortable to adapt to.

but………

Thinking of this, Alicia looked out the window. To be exact, not far behind their battleship, there were spaceships following.

But they were not Inquisition warships.

At the beginning, there were only one or two ships, but now, they are almost forming a fleet of dozens of warships.

Of course, the spaceships in this world are relatively small. At least from the perspective of the Inquisition, all these warships combined are not as big as the Inquisition's flagship.

And the people on these spaceships are not soldiers fighting against the antimatter army, but ordinary people.

Alicia still remembered that when a spaceship followed them at the beginning, everyone was very surprised. Later, they contacted the other party and learned that they wanted to go back to their hometown to worship their relatives. However, those planets were completely destroyed and occupied by the Antimatter Army, and they had no way to go back. Now that they knew that the Inquisition was going to fight the Antimatter Army, they hurriedly followed.

At the beginning, no one took it too seriously. After all, similar things happened before.

But...the number is increasing.

Looking at the dots of light outside the porthole, Alicia couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She knew that these people were refugees who had fled before the antimatter army attacked their home planet. They were lucky because they escaped the fate of destruction. But they were also unfortunate because they lost everything.

As a fusion warrior fighting against Honkai, Alicia could understand this feeling best. It was as if she had to retreat because she was unable to fight against the Herrscher. Watching the people who did not have time to evacuate scream and shout in despair in front of the Herrscher's power, and eventually die - that was definitely the most terrifying nightmare.

  Whenever she saw these dots of light, Alicia couldn't help but wonder how many planets the antimatter army had destroyed? How many civilizations? How many people were forced to leave their planets and watch their homes turned into scorched earth?

Dr. Mei also planned a fire plan to allow some people to escape from the planet at the last moment. Of course, with the disappearance of the collapse, this plan was naturally shelved. But... if there was no Inquisition, would they also leave their homeland like those people and watch it being destroyed?

"What's wrong? Alicia?"

Hearing Eden's voice in her ears, Alicia collected her thoughts and turned to look at her friend, who was holding a cup of black tea and looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Nothing, Eden. I was just wondering, there seem to be more and more spaceships following us?"

"Ah, I heard about this from Miss Mary. She said that the Interstellar Peace Company organized a tour group."

“…… ...

Alicia blinked her eyes, and her fairy-like pointed ears jumped up and down.

"Yes, the Interstellar Peace Company organized a tour group based on the Inquisition's route. They mainly recruited survivors who fled because their homes were destroyed by the Antimatter Legion and took them on a journey home."

"But I remember there weren't so many before?"

"It should be related to the enemy we defeated not long ago... What was his name, Lord of Extinction?"

"Ah, the Iron Tomb..."

Alicia took the cup, drank a sip of hot tea, and nodded. Just a few days ago, the fleet of the Inquisition fought a fierce battle with the army led by the Destroyer Star God Nanook, the Lord of Extinction, Iron Tomb. The opponent seemed to have the ability to spread virus infection and control the operating system to some extent. In fact, several spaceships following the fleet of the Inquisition lost control directly because of this.

However...the court was fine.

It was then that Alicia learned that although the warships of the Inquisition looked very majestic, most of them actually relied on manual operation of machinery!

Generally speaking, the more advanced the technology, the higher the degree of automation. However, the fleet of the Inquisition went the other way. Apart from a few automated devices, most of them were semi-automatic mechanized devices that required manual control!

Then the ending is naturally predictable.

Maybe you can hack into and control a smart electric car, but you definitely can't hack into a Phoenix bicycle.

And the little girl named Lumielle was also very powerful. She looked only about ten years old, but she was able to easily resist the invasion of the Lord of Extinction and even took back the control of the controlled spaceships in the rear from him.

Then, the Lord of Extinction was caught and killed by Duanmu Huai.

Well, literally.

Alicia didn't understand what Duanmu Huai did at all. She only saw Duanmu Huai raised his hand to the window and then clenched it tightly. Then the strange figure opposite him who looked arrogant and domineering disappeared directly, leaving no residue.

Although she didn't know what Duanmu Huai had done, at least Alicia knew very well that the terrifying existence who had shown off his might and led his antimatter army to destroy countless worlds was not even a match for Duanmu Huai. How powerful was the Great Inquisitor?

Alicia was very curious about this. She already knew that the Inquisition had saved many worlds, but the phrase "saving the world" was too vague and unrealistic. The Inquisition's documentaries focused more on information about the enemy and the situation of that world, but rarely showed off their own powerful strength.

This is somewhat surprising. You know, the World Government's propaganda will deliberately exaggerate the power of the Fusion Warriors to reassure the people. Sometimes the exaggeration is so great that it even gives the Fusion Warriors a headache.

But this is not the case with the inquisition films; basically, they all follow the same formula.

A certain world has encountered a certain disaster. The characteristics of the disaster are… The form of the invaders is… The local civilization disaster situation is…

Then, they would list the enemies one by one, and explain why they were classified as aliens, heretics or demons according to the standards of the Inquisition, and why they should be eliminated according to which rule or regulation of the Inquisition.

Then...the enemy was destroyed, the disaster stopped, and the world was saved.

Well, that's it.

As for how the Intermediate Tribunal fought, apart from seeing some battle records of the Night Guards and warships, there are almost no battle images of any high-level personnel.

Alicia also discovered that people like Ann, Mary, and Ogis who often went on adventures with Duanmu Huai were all very powerful. If the World Government's propaganda plan was followed, they would definitely be put at the forefront. But the fact is that almost none of them appeared in the introduction film of the Tribunal, nor did they appear in battle.

Alicia also asked curiously, and Mary's answer was "That's so embarrassing..."

Well, to be honest, it's not that she can't understand.

Although Alicia felt that a cute fairy girl like herself should have her image passed down and her reputation passed down through the ages.

“Ding…Ding…Ding…Ding…”

At this moment, suddenly, a bell rang, which startled both Alicia and Eden.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, but I remember being told during training that the ringing of the bell means we are required to assemble on the bridge as soon as possible."

"Are we going to fight again?"

In the space battle, fusion warriors like Alicia can play a small role, and occasionally Duanmu Huai will take them to board the ship. But most of the time, the Inquisition only needs to use its powerful firepower to destroy the insignificant resistance of the Antimatter Legion.

But never before had such a heavy bell sounded.

Alicia and Eden suppressed their inner anxiety, hurriedly left the room and rushed to the bridge.

At this moment, everyone had gathered on the bridge. Alicia took a special look at the expressions of the girls standing next to Duanmu Huai. Ann and Mary both looked very serious, and Ogis was still sitting on Duanmu Huai's shoulder as indifferent as ever, like a puppet.

As for Nyume-satori, she stood there with her eyes wide open, counting the stars outside the window, as if she didn't care about the current situation at all - well, that was her usual style.

As for the others, they just stood there quietly. Although it didn't look like anything special, Alicia still felt an unusual pressure.

"Well, almost everyone is here."

At this moment, Duanmu Huai looked around and then spoke.

"The fleet behind us just contacted us. We have learned that the planet Lockley 8 ahead has fallen, and all the residents have become minions of the Antimatter Legion."

"Hey?"

Alicia was a little surprised to hear what Duanmu Huai said.

"Didn't they say that the Antimatter Corps believes in the destiny of destruction and will destroy everything they see?"

"But some civilizations will be allowed to survive and become members of the Antimatter Corps as long as they surrender. I have just sent a reconnaissance fleet to check, and it is indeed the case."

Duanmu Huai turned on the screen, which showed the images sent back by the reconnaissance fleet. He could see that the planet was different from the dead silent and completely destroyed planets that Alicia and others had seen before. It was filled with the figures of antimatter legion soldiers.

  What to do?

Staring at the screen, Alysia couldn't help but frown. Did she and the others have to deal with the enemies of the entire planet? This was a bit too exaggerated.

And at this moment, Ai Lixia heard Duanmu Huai's answer.

"Considering the current situation, I have determined that this planet cannot be recovered. Therefore, I hereby issue an extermination order on Planet Lockley 8 in the name of the Grand Inquisitor of the Tribunal."

　I bought braised chicken with rice today, but the ginger slices in it were cut the same as the chicken skin, and you couldn't see it at all. It's really annoying...
