Chapter 1023: The Skrull Deception
Chapter 1023: The Skrull Deception
For a moment, the crowd was once again in an uproar.
Cecilia was the deity of the Skrulls, so it was only fitting that they should bear the blame for this disaster.
However, the White-Headed Eagle representative had a deeper thought—shouldn't the nine surviving Skrulls also be eliminated?
Earlier, the various races had discussed the idea of each race killing one Skrull, but they couldn't find a reasonable excuse.
Now they had one. The Skrulls were to blame for the fifty lives lost, and eliminating these nine Skrulls would be a justified act of revenge, wouldn't it?
So, the White-Headed Eagle representative lifted his head and solemnly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, since the Skrulls are to blame for this incident, shouldn't we start with these nine surviving Skrulls? They are also Skrulls, so let's use their deaths as the first step in our retaliation against them!"
"!!!" The nine surviving Skrulls inside the protective barrier were shocked and terrified.
What's going on? You want to kill us first? We are also victims here!
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you guys making a mistake?" the Skrull who had been communicating with the Crownbird chieftain shouted.
The other survivors from the protective barrier also chimed in, "Yeah, why kill them?"
"They are also victims, just like us. They were threatened by Cecilia, not her accomplices."
"We should seek justice by going after the Skrull Union government! Why take it out on these few individuals?"
The other 41 survivors had some camaraderie with these Skrull survivors, and they genuinely shared the same hardships, so they spoke up in their defense.
Even O'Felan, the player, said a few words in favor of the Skrulls.
But to their shock, the representatives of the other races didn't listen to them. Instead, they praised the White-Headed Eagle's suggestion!
The Fishman representative tightened his grip on his long-handled trident: "The White-Headed Eagle is right. We should start with these nine Skrulls."
The Sea Giant representative waved his massive, train-engine-sized fist: "Agreed, let's kill these nine Skrulls first, and then make the other Skrulls pay!"
The Three-Headed Giant Snake representative's disc-sized scales gleamed in the sunlight: "Then let's start now. The top nine races, one from each. No excuses."
"Alright."
"Alright."
"Alright."
"Let's move once the barrier disappears."
...
Hearing these representatives, the surviving members of the various races were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Why did the White-Headed Eagle's outrageous suggestion get the support of all the representatives? Where was everyone's reason?
"Senior Cao..." Frank looked a bit anxious, turning to Prime Minister Cao.
Prime Minister Cao pressed his hand down: "Be quiet, let's see how this plays out."
"Alright." Frank had to swallow his words.
"???!?!" The nine Skrull survivors were now in a panic.
These representatives were serious! They really intended to kill them.
Where are our deities? Save us, save us!
The nine survivors quickly looked around.
But after scanning the area, they didn't see any of the Skrull deities nearby.
"Where are our deities?!"
"Where is Lord Plart? Where is Lord Maninak?"
"Dammit! What's going on? Why aren't our deities here?"
"Is it because our deities aren't here that they dare to bully us?"
The nine Skrull survivors were now completely panicked!
They had barely escaped Cecilia's pursuit in the secret realm. Who would have thought that after leaving the secret realm, they would still face death?
Could they really not escape this fate today?
Seeing their desperate state, Frank really wanted to offer some comfort.
But seeing the representatives of the other races dancing in a frenzy outside the barrier, he didn't know what to say.
...
Just then, a pale blue teleportation portal suddenly appeared in the sky.
Seeing this portal, Prime Minister Cao immediately thought of Su Yu! The portal looked exactly like the one Su Yu often used!
But upon further thought, he realized that this couldn't be Su Yu.
This was Skrull Prime, and Su Yu had been on Blue Prime all along. How could this portal be his?
But if it wasn't Su Yu, who could it be?
As Chancellor Cao was puzzled, a woman with pale blue skin and wearing a pure white robe stepped out of the portal.
Indeed, this was Mona Nona, the peak god-tier powerhouse of the Holy Silver People! Nona was a teacher at the Holy Silver Secret Court, and the Evolution game was a major innovative research project of the Secret Court, so the Portal she used was identical to Su Yu's.
Behind Nona, a petite girl in light green leather armor followed closely. This little girl, of course, was Elise! Stepping out of the portal, Elise scanned the representatives of the various races present.
Seeing the diverse and varied appearances of the representatives, she was instantly intrigued.
She tugged at Nona's sleeve: "Sister Nona, is this the Wildlands? There are so many strange creatures here!"
"Yes, Elise." Nona gently patted Elise's little head, affectionately saying, "This is the entrance to the Final Secret Realm, right at the center of the Wildlands. Sister has some official business to attend to first. Afterward, I'll take you to other places to play, okay?"
"Okay." Elise nodded obediently.
Seeing the pale blue portal and the appearance of Nona, all the representatives from the various races were instantly stunned! The scene fell silent once again.
This was precisely the Skrull's plan, the effect they wanted to achieve.
...
The Final Secret Realm had ended, and the Skrull certainly couldn't send a god-tier powerhouse.
There were 18 sixth-tier geniuses in the Secret Realm, and not sending a god-tier would make other races suspicious (as it turned out, without the Skrull god-tier, these outsiders started to get overly bold).
Moreover, a trip for a god-tier powerhouse wasn't a waste of time; they had no reason not to come.
Originally, Plange and Manina had wanted to make the trip themselves, as they needed to show respect to Chancellor Cao and Emperor Shi. They were also quite idle, so a trip wasn't a big deal.
However, just the day before, Emperor Manina gave them a bold suggestion—requesting Nona to come to the Final Secret Realm with their geniuses!
Nona, of the noble Holy Silver People, would make any race bow before her, not daring to offend. Even if she were just an ordinary Holy Silver person, everyone would still show her respect.
Ten months ago, when the sixth-tier Holy Silver person Tangna came to the Skrull Star to purchase local specialties, the Skrull Star sent a god-tier to warmly welcome her, accompanying her with a smile and trying to meet her every need.
The Holy Silver People were the highest rank on the Skrull Star.
Manina wanted Nona to come, partly to show the special relationship between the Skrull and the Holy Silver People, and partly to intimidate the other intelligent races.
Nona's presence would be far more effective than Plange's.
Moreover, getting Nona to agree wasn't easy for Manina.
Nona had never agreed to any of Manina's requests before, even when the Skrull people were in dire need and Manina begged her repeatedly, she remained indifferent.
This time, it was because of Elise's arrival. Seeing the adorable Elise, Nona was very pleased!
Seizing this opportunity, Manina made his request to Nona.
Nona initially intended to refuse subconsciously, but Elise was very interested and wanted to see the Wildlands. Considering Elise's feelings, Nona finally agreed to Manina's request, willing to help out.
Nona's arrival had a tremendous effect! All the representatives from the various races were stunned! They never expected a Holy Silver person to come.
...
Nona stood high in the air, looking down at the representatives of the various races.
Finally, her gaze landed on Chancellor Cao. After all, Chancellor Cao was the strongest presence here and a Blue Star person.
"Cough, cough." Nona cleared her throat and said, "I hear you all want to kill these nine Skrull? I strongly disagree! I'm here to safely send them back to the Skrull territory. Who opposes this?"
Nona had already known what had happened here before she arrived.
The Crowbird Clan Chief was timid and fearful of trouble, so it hadn't joined Chancellor Cao's proposed action.
Moreover, it used a secret communication channel to inform the Skrull and urge them to come quickly.
Through this channel, Nona knew everything that had happened here.
To finish things quickly and take Elise to the Wildlands for a tour, she wouldn't allow these representatives to kill the nine Skrull geniuses.
Moreover, she believed that with her presence, these representatives wouldn't dare to act!
And it turned out just as she had thought.
As soon as she spoke, the representatives from the various clans immediately wilted, even the representative of the White-Headed Eagle Clan was no exception.
These clan representatives had hoped to take advantage of the Skrull god's absence to gather some benefits, deeply believing in the principle of "the law does not punish the masses." However, now that Mona was here, how could they openly oppose the Saint Silver People for a mere 10% discount?
Thus, when Mona said those words, not a single clan representative dared to object.
Mona's gaze swept over the faces of all the clan representatives. Wherever her eyes landed, the representatives lowered their heads, avoiding her gaze.
Alice couldn't help but giggle at the sight of these clan representatives cowering.
Seeing Alice's joy, Mona's mood brightened as well.
After scanning the room, her gaze settled on Chancellor Cao, her eyes seemingly asking, "What do you think? Are you going to back down?"
Chancellor Cao remained calm.
He met Mona's gaze with a composed demeanor, his eyes as still as ancient wells.
In truth, Chancellor Cao was quite surprised. He hadn't expected Mona to show up, nor had he thought the Skrulls could persuade her.
But he knew what to do.
Since Mona had spoken, it was best to let the nine Skrull geniuses off the hook.
Chancellor Cao wasn't a match for Mona and Alice, and there was no need to offend the Saint Silver People over nine sixth-stage Skrulls.
He smiled and said, "Since you've spoken, I'll let these Skrull geniuses go, for your sake. However—"
He drew out his words, continuing, "However, I will not compromise on the fifty lives in the Final Secret Realm!"
Turning to the representatives, he added, "Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what, we must hold the Skrulls accountable! Fifty lives! These are the geniuses of our clans! Who wouldn't be heartbroken?"
He then asked, "I'm heading to the Skrull settlement right now. Who will join me?"
"I will, I will join you!" the White-Headed Eagle Clan representative was the first to respond.
"I will join as well," the Sea Giant Clan representative narrowed his eyes. "You're right, someone must be held responsible for those fifty lives. Our geniuses cannot die in vain!"
"Let's all go! The more clans we have, the more likely the Skrulls will compromise!"
"Let's go together; we won't take this lying down!"
...
For a moment, the scene erupted in a cacophony of voices.
While the idea of killing those nine Skrull geniuses made them feel guilty, the notion of holding the Skrulls accountable was entirely justifiable. Thus, it didn't take long for all the clan representatives to agree to seek justice from the Skrulls, even the timid Coron Bird Clan leader volunteered to join.
Seizing the moment, Chancellor Cao addressed everyone, "Since that's settled, let's send our geniuses back to their clans and gather here. We'll head to the Sunlit Empire together to confront the Skrulls!"
He then turned to Mona, "Lady Mona, you won't interfere with this, will you?"
"Of course not, I have better things to do," Mona said, crossing her arms indifferently. "I'll use a portal to send these Skrull children away. You do what you want, even if you decide to wipe out the Skrulls, I won't bother."
With that, she turned away from the representatives of the remote planets and resumed chatting with Alice.
...
...
Half an hour later, Chancellor Cao led the "Alliance of 22 Clans" toward the northern border of the Sunlit Empire.
They had reached the border, and just ahead lay the towns of the Sunlit Empire.
After the Blue Planet players returned using their amulets, Chancellor Cao began organizing the "Alliance."
The various clans were eager to join, and within a short time, he had assembled a team of over three hundred high-stage beings, a truly impressive lineup!
The "Alliance" alone boasted six god-level members: Chancellor Cao, the White-Headed Eagle Emperor, the Mermaid Sea Emperor, the Sea Giant King, the Rhinoceros Spirit Clan Leader, and a special guest—the Dragon Emperor, Cadrigus.
The Dragon Clan had not sent any geniuses into the Final Secret Realm, not because they couldn't secure spots, but because their numbers were too few, and they feared losing any in the realm.
However, upon receiving Chancellor Cao's message, Dragon Emperor Cadrigus resolutely joined to help the "Alliance of 22 Clans" seek justice!
