The Pale Church's public opinion was completely reversed, transforming it from a former scourge of the Federation into a genuine religion for all people.
While this change is welcome, the defeats on the front lines will inevitably come to the fore.
The starry sky was so vast that even though the spaceship had returned ahead of schedule using a space jump to report the general situation, it would still be three years before the actual communications department returned.
During these three years, although various versions of information flew around, various doomsday rumors frequently emerged, and even more news from the front lines was deliberately leaked, the three-year span was ultimately too long. The public, who were initially extremely anxious, fled in large numbers, and even built all kinds of shelters, gradually began to relax their vigilance.
Life seemed to be back on track, and the Pale Church, led by Acting Pope Duoxia, planned to reissue the alimony decree and return to the old system.
The news was met with cheers and jubilation from countless people.
Only through loss do we appreciate the beauty of what we have. This is similar to the system of elder care. Prolonged care leads to widespread repression, but forcing people into factory labor makes them understand the perfection of the elder care system.
Thus, with the two forces working in tandem, the Pale Church flourished even more, and many people began to doubt the so-called doomsday theories. Some even publicly stated online that they believed the so-called doomsday rhetoric and videos were artificially created cinematic plots, intended only to suppress public sentiment and facilitate the Pale Church's management.
It has to be said that the location of Garden of Eden has changed far too quickly.
In this increasingly relaxed atmosphere, the fleet, which had taken three years to finally install space jump devices on most of its ships, finally returned.
The Garden of Eden Galaxy.
Garden of Eden Planet, a desolate place outside the orbits of countless satellites in both space and atmospheric orbits.
The silent vacuum seemed to ripple out of nowhere.
This fluctuation was extremely strange, like a spatial oscillation, and it did not cause any reaction from anything around it.
As the fluctuations intensified, the vast space seemed to transform into water, constantly undulating and vibrating, with ripples becoming increasingly visible.
And in this constantly fluctuating spatial wave, with each oscillation, something seems to be gradually solidifying.
In a short while, a rough, ethereal shape materialized.
Almost instantly, the phantom solidified completely.
A massive fleet, filled with the smoke of gunpowder and the lingering stench of blood, suddenly appeared in this orbital space.
The fleet, numbering in the millions, almost completely filled the outer shipping lanes of Garden of Eden, even crushing many surrounding satellites in the process.
These fleet ships appeared to have just gone through a bloody battle; almost none of them were intact, most showed signs of being violently smashed and broken, and many were still emitting black smoke mixed with flames.
Its surface looked as if it had emerged from a bloody slaughterhouse, with the spaceship's surface covered in blood and even bits of flesh. In many places, one could even observe some mutated and deformed corpses piled up on the ship's deck.
On some of the spacecraft's exposed decks, small-scale cleaning operations were still underway.
Some Church knights in power armor were clearing out the various deformed life forms clinging to the walls of the spaceship.
The moment these spaceships landed, they were captured by surrounding satellites, and before the deformed life forms on their decks had been completely cleared, footage of them had already appeared on the internet.
However, before the internet could erupt in uproar, the commander, back on the spaceship's command ship, had already used the highest authority held by Abraham to connect to all network resources in the Garden of Eden Galaxy. Subsequently, a massive announcement appeared on the brains, mobile phones, and various other devices of people throughout the network coverage area.
" The Pale Holy See, Directly under the Central Holy See Command, hereby declares by order of His Holiness Pope Abraham: His Holiness's past words have all come true; the soul has invaded reality; strange things have been born; this is the coming of the end of mankind, and also a sign of His Holiness's holy words."
Humanity must unite as one, uphold its faith, and fight tenaciously against the overwhelming forces of this universe, with an unwavering determination to win and to defend its sacred beliefs!
From this day forward, the Pale Holy See enters a state of national wartime, abandoning past dogmas and embracing the dawn of a new life!
Duoxia was to be crowned regent, succeeding the pope in his duties and deciding on the general direction.
All those who believe in Pale God, all those who call themselves human, all those who possess life, shall gather together, firmly uphold their faith, and radiate the light of humanity's great struggle!
A divine murmur from Abraham, imbued with the Pressure of a life force, resounded throughout the entire Garden of Eden Galaxy, even radiating outwards to surrounding galaxies. With a force that could be described as immense, it powerfully surpassed the speed of light, covering the entire territory ruled by the Pale Church.
The solemnity and determination in his words were enough to make anyone who heard them tremble with fear.
The social atmosphere, which had just begun to ease, tightened instantly under this sudden statement that swept across various regions, leaving people feeling anxious and fearful.
What terrified them even more was that the new emperor Abraham, had not returned with the fleet. Or rather, the million-strong fleet that had returned was merely a negligible communications fleet among the fleets that had been dispatched. The main force had not returned, and this communications fleet had already gone to the battlefield.
Doesn't this show that the war hasn't stopped, but rather is even more intense?
The end of humanity is truly coming!
