God?

This time, Soma No. 4's journey was much smoother than expected. Under the guidance of the local named Casio, Gu Fan easily bought the Glory Queen and the supplies that could be used in the long term.

In just one night, he had spent more than 800 million star coins in the local market. Even in Soma No. 4, which was filled with tycoons, this was a considerable sum of money.

As a result, Gu Fan had no choice but to send out 11 engineering ships docked inside the Glory Queen. After several rounds of transportation, he finally packed all these goods and brought them back to the warehouse.

This was naturally not an impulsive consumption.

In the warehouse, where there was almost no place to stay, the originally messy goods were being sorted by the engineering servants.

Those half-man tall mechanical servants were the basic units unlocked not long ago through the technology template. Their functions could be said to be quite comprehensive. What was important was that they only needed to provide a small amount of insignificant energy, and these mechanical servants could work almost day and night.

After realizing how useful these guys were, Gu Fan immediately ordered the factory to add another 200 units.

At this moment, he was standing on the hanging corridor above the warehouse and looking down at the busy scene in the warehouse. Like a foreman supervising work, the mobile terminal in his hand was recording the list of supplies that had entered the warehouse this time.

What surprised Gu Fan was that apart from the basic resources that could be seen everywhere, his trip to the market had also allowed him to obtain a batch of rare products that were not common.

For example, there were a total of 200 units of living metal that could regenerate themselves.

Although these were of no use for the time being, it was good to have them in stock. Be it collecting technology templates or searching for traces of Observers and humans.

No matter which side it was, it was not something that could achieve results in a short period of time. It was never wrong to be prepared for this.

At the thought of this, Gu Fan could not help but sigh.

"If only there was a way to build a Sentinel Array…"

The Sentinel Array was a giant space building developed by the human science department and equipped with an ultrasensory radar.

Due to its size comparable to that of a satellite, the multilayered detection array inside it was even enough to cover most of the Milky Way.

In other words, even if they did not go anywhere, they could let the user know anything that happened in any corner of the galaxy at any time, as if they were cheating.

Unfortunately, he couldn't.

…

…

There seemed to be no problem at the warehouse, and the ammunition and energy reserves were in a relatively stable state.

Oh right… He wondered if the test results were out yet.

Not long after, after roughly inspecting the basic situation of a few important facilities, Gu Fan suddenly remembered that he had brought back a 'special good' from Soma No. 4.

At the thought of this, he began to walk towards the medical center at the end of the corridor. However, before he could take a few steps, he heard a few vague whispers in the darkness.

"Great Star Creator, please bless your clansmen in the distance…"

"Please grant them the strength to escape the threat of the Great Khan…"

The voice was so weak that if he had not undergone genetic optimization surgery, it would have been difficult to detect its existence.

It sounded like the girl named Lilym was praying to her god.

After listening for a while, Gu Fan finally put on the mask and walked straight in.

As the door of the medical department opened automatically, a slightly crowded room appeared in front of him. In the isolation room in the center, Lilym was kneeling on the medical bed. She looked like a nun who was praying piously.

Not long after, perhaps hearing the sound of the door opening, Lilym, who was originally focused on praying, silently raised her head.

She was still wearing the servant uniform that she had brought out from Soma No. 4. When she saw Gu Fan appear at the side, she looked a little at a loss.

Gu Fan ignored her and walked straight to the medical terminal at the side. At this moment, the various analytical data about Lilym's body and genes were displayed on the screen.

As expected, just as he had guessed, the genes in the girl's body did show signs of being artificially spliced. However, the strange thing was that the device did not detect any original genes that belonged to humans.

Could it be that the other party was not created by humans?

This time, he could not help but become interested in Lilym again.

Although the other party was still very frightened when he was first sent to the medical department, he was much calmer now. Perhaps this was the power that religion brought to people.

Looking at Lilym, who was locked in the isolation room, Gu Fan slowly approached the window.

"Looks like you're getting used to this place."

Upon hearing this, the other party did not react. She continued to look at the strange facilities and mechanical arms with drills around her warily.

Although she had already explained it to the other party, it was obvious that Lilym did not choose to believe her. In her opinion, this place was like an operating theater used for evil experiments, and she had already become a pitiful test subject.

In Lilym's opinion, there was no turning point. She had just fallen from one hell to another.

Looking at the other party's vigilant gaze, Gu Fan only explained again.

"Relax. This is just an isolation medical pod. I only took some blood samples from you. I'll let you out soon."

However, who would have thought that the other party would only lower her head?

"Do whatever you want…"

"But please remember that one day, the god we follow will return to this universe."

"Then all who have brought us suffering will be punished."

Her words really confused Gu Fan. He had clearly explained that this was just a simple physical examination, so why did the other party make it sound like he was about to step onto the execution ground?

Could it be that there was a problem with the translation device that caused the other party to misinterpret my meaning?

No matter what, this girl did not seem to be very smart. She was more or less stubborn, which made Gu Fan feel a little unhappy.

"Gods? If your gods care so much about you, what were they doing while you were a slave?"

Lilym gradually fell silent in the face of Gu Fan's question.

"They're just in a deep sleep…"

"I think that's just an excuse. In my opinion, your god doesn't care about you at all. Perhaps those bastards have abandoned you long ago."

The main reason why Gu Fan was so disdainful of the so-called gods was because of the existence of the Star God.

As an ancient race that used psionic energy well, the Star Gods had brought deep suffering to the Human Race more than once. They had once claimed to be gods and deceived the human civilization that was still young at that time.

It wasn't until one day when humanity completely saw through the lies of the Star Gods that the Battle of Heaven happened.

The moment she heard this, the girl was completely enraged. She suddenly stood up and bared her teeth at Gu Fan behind the glass.

"An unbeliever like you wouldn't understand!"

"Our gods are the almighty humans!"

As Lilym finished speaking…

In an instant, the scene suddenly fell silent.
