Chapter 1040: 20 Days of Calm
Chapter 1040: 20 Days of Calm
Initially, the Crow, Mermaid, and other races had been eager to join the war against Blue Star. However, the arrival of Emperor Dixin caused them immense shock, and they no longer considered joining the battle, prioritizing their survival instead.
The Dragon and White-Headed Eagle races had never intended to participate. While they were surprised by Emperor Dixin’s arrival, they also secretly rejoiced at the plight of the Skrulls.
The Skrulls, all at the god level, were trembling with fear.
Under the watchful eyes of the Blue Star humans, who were at the planetary level, did they really dare to win this war? Were they not afraid of Emperor Dixin’s retribution afterward?
Even the usually clear-headed Manina lost his composure and asked the nearby Morgen Lieryang, “Son, what do you think we should do?”
“About that...” Morgen Lieryang furrowed his brows deeply, lost in thought.
Emperor Dixin’s arrival had made the already complex situation even more unpredictable, completely disrupting Morgen Lieryang’s plans.
He truly had no idea how to deal with this planetary-level being.
Could they really face the annihilation of their races under the watchful eyes of this PlanetaryLevel being?
After a long while, Morgen Lieryang looked at Manina and carefully replied, “Father, we have no choice.
The ‘Civilization Ascension Plan’ has no exit strategy; once it starts, it cannot be stopped.
In other words, we must fight the Blue Star humans to the death, even if the PlanetaryLevel being is watching from the side.”
Morgen Lieryang stood up and surveyed the Skrull gods, whose faces were clouded with worry. “We are still left with two paths: one, to defeat the Blue Star humans and occupy Blue Star; two, to be thoroughly annihilated by the Blue Star humans.
The second path is not an option, so let's focus on the first path—we must fight the Blue Star humans!”
However, everyone, don’t be afraid; things might not be as bad as we imagine.”
The six Skrull gods simultaneously looked at Morgen Lieryang.
Morgen Lieryang was at the peak of the 7th stage, and in terms of strength, he could not be compared to them.
However, he was, after all, a Saint Silver, who had studied abroad for nearly eight years and had a broad range of knowledge.
In terms of status, the gods had already placed Morgen on an equal footing, and even the Emperor Lieryang was considered slightly higher.
Looking at Morgen Lieryang, Plante said solemnly, “Morgen is right. Even with the Blue Star humans’ PlanetaryLevel being watching, we must fight the Blue Star humans to the death.
But what we truly care about is whether this PlanetaryLevel being will seek retribution after we defeat the Blue Star humans?
Morgen, what do you think about this?”
“I believe he will most likely not seek retribution,” Morgen Lieryang answered seriously, “In the Saint Silver Federation’s system, if someone were to ruthlessly attack us because of the Civilization ascension plan, the Saint Song would definitely impose the harshest punishment! I don’t know what the exact punishment would be, but it’s certain that no PlanetaryLevel being could bear it.”
Morgen Lieryang stared at the six Skrull gods.
Seeing that everyone still had doubts, he continued, “Let’s think about it from another angle—the Saint Song sent this PlanetaryLevel being here, and they would definitely consider whether this being would tip the war’s balance, whether they would violate the rules by retaliating against us.
The Saint Song would not favor the Blue Star humans.
Therefore, the Saint Song must have conducted a comprehensive analysis of this PlanetaryLevel being, and with 100% certainty, this being will not affect the war’s balance or seek retribution afterward. They sent this being to ensure it.
I believe that once we win, he will, as he said, take the Blue Star humans’ seeds to other habitable planets and will not risk a massive retaliation.”
The six Skrull deities remained silent, their minds still unsettled.
However, at this point, they had no other choice.
The war against the humans of Earth had to continue, and they had to win.
All they could do now was pray that Emperor Zhou Wang would fear the divine punishment from the Holy Hymn and refrain from retaliating against them.
Emperor Sol Manina cleared his throat and lowered his voice, saying, "We have no other path. The real challenge now is how to convince the other races to continue fighting against the humans of Earth."
He glanced at the leaders of the various races in the room, finally settling his gaze on the leader of the Crested Bird race.
The Crested Bird leader was utterly terrified.
If the subspace hadn't been sealed, he might have found a way to sneak away.
Seeing the Crested Bird leader, whose feathers were standing on end in anxiety, Manina sighed, "Originally, the Crested Birds, Merfolk, and about twenty other races were willing to join the war. But now, with the planetary-level threat, their courage has waned."
"Perhaps we should take it one step at a time."
Plante noticed that the other race leaders were growing increasingly impatient, unwilling to continue the meeting and eager to leave due to the lack of progress on the human side.
So, he turned to face the leaders and announced, "That's all for today's meeting. We'll discuss the other matters later."
Morgan Sol immediately opened the subspace gate.
The leaders rushed out, and the meeting ended in a rather anticlimactic manner.
Only the Skrull deities remained to continue their discussion.
...
...
Emperor Zhou Wang's arrival caused a significant stir on both Earth and Skrull, but the storm was short-lived. Soon, both planets returned to a state of calm.
For a while, there were no major events, and Emperor Zhou Wang remained elusive. The two planets enjoyed a 20-day period of relative peace.
However, beneath this surface calm, tensions were brewing.
Let's start with Earth.
The humans of Earth were actively preparing for war.
Everyone worked together, and resources from all over the world were transported to China via large teleportation arrays. After being consolidated, these resources were then sent to the front lines in Japan.
As for the residents of Japan:
Thanks to the efficient operations of the Earth United Government, all civilians had been evacuated from Japan by April 17th. The island was now left with only military facilities under construction, with no civilians remaining.
The humans of Earth had constructed multiple layers of defensive fortifications around the Mount Fuji Psychic Spring. These defenses were planned from the first line to the tenth line, extending from Mount Fuji to the entire country of Japan.
The tenth line of defense, the "Tashin Defense Network," covered all four main islands of Japan and was the last and absolute line of defense that must not be breached.
Beyond the tenth line, President Hu Jing had initially wanted to set up additional defenses along the coasts of Korea and Russia, but this plan was canceled following Su Yu's suggestion.
The "Tashin Defense Network" was the final line of defense for humanity.
If the Skrulls broke through this line, the Pacific Ocean and the entire American continent would be within their reach!
Therefore, the humans of Earth were determined to defend this line to the death, no matter the cost!
