Chapter 1002: The Skrull Top-Level Meeting
As Su Yu and the others were in their meeting, the highest-ranking beings of Skrull were also holding a video conference.
Manina sighed, "I never expected the Celestial Hymn to reject our request. A temporary ceasefire with Earth would clearly be beneficial in combating the Dark Energy Rebellion."
Kusman shrugged, "Maybe the Celestial Hymn doesn't think we have enough combat power. They might believe that, in dealing with the Dark Energy Rebellion, we not only can't help but might even be a hindrance, which is why they refused our request."
"That... could be true," Manina mused, stroking his chin.
Manina's great-grandfather, Manina III, spoke up, "Regardless, the battle with Earth is inevitable. We need to prepare for it again."
"Great-grandfather, rest assured," Manina replied, snapping back to reality. "Our previous plan hasn't been completely scrapped. We just need to resume it. I'll inform Lance to restart the Anti-Gravity Crystal Driller and continue extracting spirit energy shortly."
"Speaking of the Anti-Gravity Crystal Driller," Plante said with a relieved expression, "it's a good thing we didn't genuinely inform the two Earth gods to return to Earth. Otherwise, our plan would have been ruined!"
Hearing this, Manina quickly flattered, "This is all thanks to the keen insight of Great Plante. If not for your advice, we would be the ones in an awkward position now!"
...
The matter of informing the two Earth gods had started six hours earlier.
Six hours ago, Plante decided to fulfill his promise and notify the two Earth gods to return to Earth. However, he didn't want them to actually return. So, he came up with a small scheme.
After discussing with Manina, he dispatched a seventh-rank Mentalist to the Wasteland Continent.
This seventh-rank Mentalist was named Dose LeSoleil, a direct descendant of the LeSoleil Royal Family and particularly skilled at acting. He was the perfect choice for this mission.
Dose LeSoleil received instructions from Manina and Plante, and immediately set off for the Wasteland Continent. Two hours later, he arrived at the entrance to the Final Secret Realm, which was located in the center of the Wasteland Continent.
The theme of the Final Secret Realm was "Forest." From the outside, the entire realm appeared as a vast expanse of towering, lush trees, each over a hundred meters tall. The landscape was dominated by trees, with almost no other elements visible.
Dose LeSoleil didn't bother to look at the realm. Upon arrival, he bowed to Chancellor Cao and Emperor Qin, saying, "Greetings, two of Earth's greatest powers. I come on behalf of our great Emperor Manina to request that you return to Earth immediately!"
"???" Chancellor Cao and Emperor Qin were taken aback by the messenger's words.
Return to Earth immediately? Why?
Chancellor Cao remained calm. He looked at Dose LeSoleil and asked, "Why should we return to Earth now? Can you give us a valid reason?"
Dose LeSoleil replied solemnly, "According to the words of our Emperor, Earth is facing a rare and significant disaster!"
"A significant disaster?"
"Yes," Dose LeSoleil affirmed earnestly. "Su Yu has discovered traces of a powerful alien civilization on Earth. After thorough verification, it has been confirmed that Earth is being coveted by a powerful alien civilization.
Therefore, we urgently request that you return immediately to prevent Earth from falling into the hands of the alien invaders!"
Dose LeSoleil was a master of performance. When he spoke, he exuded 200% sincerity, showing no signs of lying at all.
This was the essence of Prolant's strategy.
Duoze Leryang wasn't lying; what he said was 100% true. However, his words, combined with his performance, ensured that Chancellor Cao and FirstEmperor would 100% not believe him.
Sure enough, ChancelorCao and FirstEmperor fell for the ruse.
ChancelorCao and FirstEmperor exchanged a glance.
Their expressions clearly showed that they didn't believe a word.
FirstEmperor gave a half-smile, half-sneer. "Our Blue Star is under the threat of a powerful alien civilization. Is the one you mentioned called the 'Skru Civilization'?"
Duoze Leryang's face froze. "No, it's another one..."
"Oh." ChancelorCao interrupted, "Can you tell us the name of that alien civilization?"
"Sorry, I can't say." Duoze Leryang firmly shook his head.
"Alright, we get it!" ChancelorCao said brusquely. "We'll discuss it and return to Blue Star shortly. We'll also inform your emperor that we won't abandon these young Blue Star elites in the mystic realm."
ChancelorCao and FirstEmperor had completely misjudged the situation.
They assumed the Skru had sent this messenger to trick them into returning to Blue Star immediately.
Once they left, the Skru could break the mystic realm's barrier after it ended and eliminate all the Blue Star Tier 6 players inside.
Even if the Skru couldn't deceive them, the cost was minimal—just sending someone to talk. But if the deception succeeded, the rewards would be enormous!
ChancelorCao and FirstEmperor never imagined the true situation was so convoluted.
Prolant had sent the messenger not to make them return to Blue Star.
Prolant's strategy successfully deceived the two Blue Star god-level beings, and he also kept his promise, which is why Manina didn't hesitate to shower him with praise.
...
Prolant was very pleased to hear Manina's praise, as Manina rarely flattered him.
Prolant cleared his throat and said, "Regardless, since SaintChant has contained the threat of the Dark Energy Rebellion, we will continue with our original plan.
However, everyone must pay close attention to the movements of the Dark Energy Rebellion.
If the forces SaintChant sends can't hold them off, we must resist as much as we can. If resistance isn't an option, we will have to execute the final 'Fireseed Plan.'"
"Understood." Everyone in the video conference room looked solemn.
Manina also nodded solemnly. "Rest assured, the 'Fireseed Plan' is ready and can be activated at any time to lead everyone away from Skru."
The 'Fireseed Plan' was a long-standing contingency plan the Skru had devised to ensure their civilization's survival.
If Skru was invaded by an alien civilization or faced a cosmic disaster that threatened its existence, this plan would be activated.
The Skru United Government had prepared two spaceships in SunCity and LankteCity, both top-tier ships purchased from the HolySilver Federation.
Once the plan was activated, the two spaceships would simultaneously launch, carrying the last remnants of Skru civilization to the HolySilver Federation to prevent its complete extinction.
This was their final means of dealing with the impending disaster.
