Starting from the Planetary Governor

Chapter 595: Chapter 345, Turns Out My House Caught Fire_2

And the creature that had beguiled and corrupted Ge Wajia, this unclean entity, was the very one that Gu Hang saw before him now.

Humans couldn’t grasp the real names of such powerful demons, so the official records of the Alliance simply used the name of Ge Wajia to designate this abomination.

"You really are restless Gu Hang thought to himself, “Failing at Rage Owl Star, you immediately tried another trick here at Korolya.”

As he said this, he also became aware of a problem.

Probably Korolya was the primary target for Ge Wajia all along. The Plague Cult had sprung up so fiercely that these heretics must have been developing covertly in the various Nest Capitals of Korolya for quite some time. The outbreak six years ago was simply a sudden detonation of past accumulations.

Ge Wajia’s actions at Rage Owl Star were inconsequential at best.

...

This place here was its true delight.

Gu Hang could even discern in his spiritual vision, this colossus in subspace wearing a ‘sincere’ smile, which made Gu Hang feel nauseated, his hand itching to strike it down with a sword.

Huh?

Strike it with a sword?

An item that Gu Hang had almost forgotten suddenly came to his mind.

It was a sword.

On Rage Owl Star, after the human warriors expelled Ge Wajia’s incarnation, the filthy entity left behind a giant, rusty demon sword.

Once brought back, the sword underwent systematic purification and became an award for the event that expelled the Great Demon, transforming into a lesser holy artifact that could be wielded. Its properties were quite impressive, but there was a chance of being influenced by whispers of the abyss. Being cautious, Gu Hang had not activated that weapon but had sealed it away.

But Gu Hang hadn’t forgotten the explanation the system gave as a reward after the event was completed.

[Lesser Holy Artifact: Purifying God Plague Great Sword (False)]

[Contains a small fraction of the unclean entity’s chaotic essence, which could be wielded by humans after purification.]

The chaotic essence of the unclean entity…

Could this thing perhaps be of some use at this moment?

An idea started to form, vague and indistinct, in Gu Hang’s mind.

But a mere thought wasn’t enough. Gu Hang inspected more closely, focusing on where the curtain between subspace and reality merged.

That was the moving Fino City.

He couldn’t see Fino City in the real world, but he could see Fino City dragged into subspace.

Within subspace, Fino City was a playground for demons. Cultists completely corrupted by subspace were holding one terrifying orgy after another, offering one innocent soul after another as fuel to the Evil God in exchange for power.

This power, mixed with the essence of subspace, created many things that caused endless headaches for humankind today.

For example, the Plague Demonic Cannon, also known as Fino City’s anti-orbital firepower. This thing was entirely a construct of subspace, made up of warped sinister energy resembling the concept of a cannon, with no relation to technological products; a powerful Demon Engine played the role of a Void Shield, which formed for the same reason.

These things, of course, were not the creations of the heretics or plague monsters of the Bottom Nest District; they more resembled the grace and power bestowed by the Evil God, a tangible thing, completely unrelated to technology, industry, or skill.

Only in places where the reality curtain was excessively torn—like Fino City—could these devices function. Once outside the boundaries of Fino City, they would be squeezed and expelled by the reality curtain, turning into nothingness.

If only the connection between Fino City and subspace could be temporarily blocked, the Void Shield and anti-orbital firepower would fail;

If these failed, the Tianma Fleet and Lois’s Tax Fleet would then be able to unleash a barrage of fire, using the Colossal Cannon and light spear to destroy Fino City;

If Fino City were destroyed, all the tormented souls would be liberated, all demons and plague monsters serving as stable anchors for subspace would be annihilated, and then the reality curtain would seal the breach once again.

This would form a closed loop.

Combine this with his own Storm God Kingdom, and with the Purifying God Plague Great Sword…

Gu Hang’s heart gradually conceived a plan.

This plan carried great risks, but after pondering over it again and again and considering the forces at his disposal, it appeared to have a fairly high chance of success.

Moreover, even if it failed, he should be able to make a full retreat.

That made it worth taking the risk.

But this gave rise to a new problem:

Why the rush to risk life and limb over Korolya’s affairs?

Actually, there was a most crucial reason: Korolya couldn’t truly be doomed.

Otherwise, a world with a population of forty billion being completely dragged into subspace would result in a huge tear in the fabric of real space. By then, the Father’s power manifesting outside wouldn’t be a matter of many Anti-Orbit Cannons, Wicked Void Shields, or even a single crawling Nest—it would be far simpler.

By then, starships constructed through dark magic chaos would appear in the physical universe. They would bring terrible divine plagues through the Star Realm Tunnels and begin attacking other planets.

Any planet attacked would instantly fall into an extremely horrific disaster. The Chaos Fleet itself would pose a terrifying orbital threat, and at the same time, they would be anchors to subspace, easily tearing open the reality fabric wherever they went.

Then, with the Chaos Fleet above, countless Abyss cracks would open on the ground. Mortals would be corrupted into chaos followers, and demons would directly descend upon the world.

And unfortunately, Rage Owl Star was the world closest to Korolya, just one Star Realm Tunnel jump away.

Gu Hang couldn’t imagine what would happen if this scene unfolded on Rage Owl Star.

From the perspective of defending his own world, if Gu Hang had the means, it was certainly necessary to do everything possible to save Korolya.

But still…

If it were just about self-rescue, it wouldn’t be enough.

On the other hand, since this was something that had to be done anyway, why not strive to gain enough additional benefits?

With this thought, Gu Hang opened his eyes.

The people in the room were just getting into an argument about the position of the Korolya Governor itself.

Ivan Fatches was saying if they thought he wasn’t good enough, then they could replace him, letting another Ivan, the ‘great’, extraordinarily capable Star Sector Governor, take on the role of Korolya Governor and see if he could do any better.

A month ago, when Fino City hadn’t come back to life yet, if Ivan Fatches had said this, the Parliamentary Faction would have immediately agreed—wasn’t this what they had been dreaming of?

But now, the head of the Parliamentary Faction, Ivan Martinez, snapped back, saying that after turning Korolya into this mess and now wanting to throw in the towel was absolutely ‘an act of disloyalty’. He demanded that the Fatches Family take responsibility for this and must devote even more efforts to solve Korolya’s problems.

Lois, the special envoy of the Star Domain, was sitting on the side, rubbing her head in frustration, not saying a word. Four years ago, she wanted to replace Ivan Fatches, but now she had stopped bringing it up.

If he were replaced, who could solve the problem?

Now, everyone knew that Korolya was a mess, and both sides saw it as a hot potato that none had a solution for. The Fatches Family was even ready to give up and throw it away, but the Parliamentary Faction wouldn’t let them.

And at that moment, Gu Hang raised his hand and said softly, “If that’s the case, let me take the position of Planetary Governor of Korolya.”

His voice was not loud, but it rang out like a loud bell in the room, silencing everyone’s voices, and all eyes converged on him.

Wang Qi, sitting beside him, was shocked.

I was just sitting on the bench on the side, eating melon seeds and enjoying the drama, only to discover that it’s actually my own house on fire?

She clutched the corner of Gu Hang’s clothes tightly.

Though she didn’t speak, her knitted brows and facial expressions clearly conveyed a message to Gu Hang:

"Just enjoy the show! Why are you getting involved?!”
