Chapter 444 Praying to the Devil
Chapter 444 Praying to the Devil
Nine times when I prayed to God, nine times it was the devil who answered.
That means that God either does not exist, or is unloving, or lacks the power to be a god.
In this way, the devil is my god.
……
Among the believers who prayed devoutly to God, Howard was the only one who prayed to the devil.
Freya, it's raining in Macondo.
The disguised pirate ship was less than one kilometer away from the Deep Blue Universe. In space terms, this distance could be said to be nose to nose.
At this speed and distance, only God could stop them before they collided.
Therefore, miracles occurred.
Under the enhanced night vision perspective of the Om Messiah, a piece of space outside the Deep Blue Universe became distorted again.
Unlike the ripples when the Death Mark hyperspace overlapped, that piece of space was more like a piece of stretched rubber.
This distorted space blocked the Deep Blue Universe and the pirate ship, but unless extremely sophisticated instruments were used, no one, whether human eyes or psychic power, could reveal the secrets within.
At most, they would feel that there was a slight deviation in the light when the stars passed through that space, but no one in this universe would care about this small anomaly.
The same thing happened to the people on the disguised pirate ship. They plunged into this distorted space without knowing it.
The uneven distribution of space may cause differences in the local speed of the same object, but in daily life, the overall structural vibrations caused by such differences are so small that they can be completely ignored. But now, the extremely uneven distribution of space exceeds any previous situation.
The pirate ship's ram entered this twisted space first, and the local speed of the collision dropped sharply compared to the overall speed, but the rear half of the ship that had not yet entered this twisted space still maintained a high speed, so the rear hull "collided" with the low-speed ram in front.
If you slow down the whole process, you can see that the ram is in turn recessed into the bow, and the structure behind it is constantly squeezed and stacked, like a can being slowly flattened.
By the time the disguised pirate ship completely entered this distorted space, its length had been shortened by one third due to its own compression. All the people inside had died in the accident. The spacecraft's power system, shield system, and navigation system were damaged, and all this happened in only one tenth of a second. Except for Howard, no one could see clearly what was happening on the pirate ship.
And they won't have a chance to see clearly.
This distorted space only existed for less than a second before disappearing, and it only delayed the pirate ship for one second, but it was enough.
As the distorted space dissipated, a huge cannonball that could be seen with the naked eye even from hundreds of meters away hit the pirate ship. The cannonball exploded inside the pirate ship, directly blowing it into two pieces.
A few seconds later, the fragments of the explosion hit the portholes of the Deep Blue Universe with a crackling sound, and Om Messiah lowered the porthole baffles again to prevent the sealed environment from leaking.
Crisis resolved.
Howard reconnected to the Deep Blue Universe's broadcast:
"Everyone, the Divine Emperor saved you, thank the Divine Emperor."
Then, amidst the crowd who were either cheering or kneeling in prayer, Howard took off the communication device and threw it casually on the ground.
This group of people will never know that it was not their God who saved them this time.
Howard walked down the control platform step by step. No one noticed him. The survivors were cheering and praising the miracle of the God-Emperor. Most of them didn't even know what happened in the control room, let alone Howard's efforts.
Just what he wanted.
But as he walked down the console, he encountered a human in a white robe who had passed the genetic test. Because he moved too quickly, the other person's robe was inflated by the air.
As the two sides passed each other, a harder object protruded from under the other's bulging white robe.
The object briefly pressed against Howard's chest, and then there was a slight "click" sound.
Nothing happened, and both sides moved away from each other.
But Howard stopped. He stood there and watched the other person wrap himself in his robe and leave in a hurry.
Then, just before the other party was about to blend into the crowd, he was kicked over by Constance.
"You bastard?!" Constance stepped on him and broke his hands neatly. "Don't think you can hide it from everyone!"
As the man screamed, a pistol slipped out from under his robe.
"This guy just wanted to kill you!" Constance shouted at Howard, "Didn't you notice?"
I know, but I let him go on purpose because I wanted to fish.
But it was obviously inappropriate to say this now, so Howard could only say nothing and pretend that he didn't notice it.
At this time, Christina also realized what was happening. She drew out the mop power sword again to block Howard, and used the sword edge to force back the people around who tried to approach, creating a space with a diameter of about two meters.
On the other side, Constance also completely subdued the guy. The fact that the guy was able to pass the genetic test also shows that his physical strength is not that strong.
"I recognize you. Aren't you the guy who lives next door to me?" After breaking the man's hands, Constance lifted him up and asked, "Why did you do this?"
But the other party also said nothing. Constance quickly pinched his cheek, then forced her hand into his mouth and took out a few small pills of the same type as the previous leader.
"How interesting!" Constance shook her hand, which was bitten and had several deep teeth marks on it. "It seems you two are in the same group!"
Then she didn't say anything else, but threw the man to the ground again, and kicked him, making him faint.
Constance then dragged the unconscious assassin all the way to Christina and threw him to the ground.
"This should have been your job, I did it for you." Constance was still rubbing her bitten hand and said, "You're welcome, little sister."
