Chapter 1063: The Skrull God's Weakness
For these two races, the Skrulls adopted a more advanced "carrot and stick" strategy.
Not long ago, the Skrulls used the "Antigravity Diamond Device" to plunder a massive amount of psychic energy from Earth.
Now, under the leadership of Emperor Manina of the Sun Empire, the Skrulls have put all the psychic energy they plundered, along with their existing reserves, on the table to lure various races into the war.
These races had never seen so much psychic energy before!
In the past, the Skrull homeworld's psychic energy production was already low, and with the human race being dominant, they always got the lion's share of the global psychic energy, leaving the other races to scavenge the leftovers.
In recent years, the continent where the Skrulls live has had a much higher production and storage of psychic energy compared to other continents.
Why hasn't the vast Wilderness Continent become Skrull territory? Because it is truly barren, with very low psychic energy reserves.
Now, the humans are putting all this psychic energy on the table, and it immediately dazzles many races!
Under the allure of this tempting amount of psychic energy, no race could resist, and they were thus lured into the war machine.
Moreover, Manina offered even more psychic energy to the Dragon and Bald Eagle races, causing significant internal divisions within these two major races, leaving them indecisive.
And the Skrulls' ruthless moves kept coming one after another!
In addition to the "carrot" of vast amounts of psychic energy, the Skrulls also promised many other benefits, such as the distribution of war profits. If the two major races joined the war, they would receive the highest level of victory rewards, stirring the hearts of dragons and eagles.
As for the "stick" part:
On one hand, the Skrulls used world public opinion and the voices of various races to pressure the Dragon and Bald Eagle races, threatening to eliminate them before the war if they did not agree.
On the other hand, the Skrulls leveraged the formation of the Skrull Star Alliance, which was meant to combat the Dark Energy Rebellion, to further pressure the Dragon and Bald Eagle races.
Under the weight of temptation and threats, the Dragon and Bald Eagle races eventually had to compromise, sending a portion of their forces to the Sun City.
The Dragon race sent 800 mature and strong adult dragons, while the Bald Eagle race sent 15,000 elite war eagles.
However, they retained their last line of defense.
These forces they sent did not join the Skrull Expeditionary Force but were nominally part of the Skrull Star Alliance against the Dark Energy Rebellion. At least on the surface, they would not participate in the war between the Skrulls and Earth humans.
But they were all aware of the Skrulls, especially Emperor Manina's nature. When the crucial moment of the war arrived, these forces would inevitably be sent to the Earth battlefield.
So, they were essentially participating in the war, albeit under duress.
In summary, the Skrull human race has now integrated all the planet's forces, making them unprecedentedly powerful.
This is vastly different from the Skrulls of the previous life.
In the past, Earth humans were too weak, and the Dark Energy Rebellion's presence was not exposed. This led to the Skrulls of the previous life not mobilizing for a total war, nor integrating the forces of smaller nations and other races. The Sun Empire and the Runkote Alliance alone easily crushed the Earth humans.
In this life, the Earth side is unprecedentedly strong, with three peak Eighth-Stage individuals alone!
Therefore, the Skrulls have no choice but to integrate the forces of all nations, all races, and even the entire planet, ensuring a decisive victory in this war!
...
The Skrull human race present understood this well. After reviewing Manina's analysis of the integration of various racial forces, everyone was filled with confidence, ready to engage in a life-or-death battle with the Earth humans.
However, there was one exception among the divine beings present: Elizabeth, who was still recovering from severe injuries.
In truth, Elizabeth had been fully healed for some time. She had already betrayed her home planet after being seduced by Cecilia. The reason she still pretended to be injured was that she didn’t want to fight on the front lines. She believed that lurking in the shadows and taking advantage of the chaos would yield the greatest benefits.
At that moment, she furrowed her brow and said, “There’s something I don’t understand…”
Once everyone’s attention was on her, she continued, “I’m very worried that all of you might be underestimating the Blue Planet humans. Their strength is actually quite formidable! Just take me as an example. Not long ago, I nearly perished on the Blue Planet. I only managed to save myself by forcing my way through a spatial rift at the last moment.
From what I know, the divine beings on the Blue Planet are all very powerful. They’re not much weaker than us at the same level.
Moreover, the Blue Planet now has as many as ten divine beings, three of whom are at the peak divine level. Even the cat Morningstar can resurrect infinitely!
With our current strength, are we really ready to go all out against the Blue Planet humans? Even at the divine level, none of us can guarantee our survival in such a war.”
Elizabeth’s voice was weak, lacking the usual vigor, but her words immediately chilled the atmosphere in the meeting room. The vast space fell silent, with no one daring to speak.
Elizabeth had hit a nerve.
The Skrull divine beings cared little for their subordinates below the seventh rank. To them, “all below the divine level were mere ants.” Whether their subordinates were heavily depleted or completely wiped out, it wouldn’t even make them blink.
What they were most concerned about was the possibility of their own deaths on the battlefield. After all, the Blue Planet had ten divine beings, three of whom were at the peak divine level. Annihilating this force would come at a heavy cost. The lower-ranking divine beings among them had a significant chance of perishing.
Seeing the room fall silent, Manina understood that Elizabeth had struck a painful chord.
He had spent countless days and nights pondering solutions to this issue, but only a few truly effective ones came to mind, and each required a tremendous sacrifice.
He could only choose among these options, striving to find the one most acceptable to everyone.
After a moment of thought, he faced Elizabeth and carefully chose his words, saying, “Lady Elizabeth, you’ve been out of action for a while, so there are many things you don’t know.
First of all, let me make one thing clear: we have no other choice but to win this war.”
Manina cleared his throat and continued seriously, “According to the nature of the ‘Ascension Plan,’ at this stage of the war, the Skrull people have only one path: to defeat the Blue Planet humans. There is no other way.
If we lose, it’s obvious that the Skrull people will likely be exterminated by the Blue Planet humans.
What if we follow the Anti-Alliance’s suggestion and refrain from invading the Blue Planet, maintaining peace between us? What would happen then?
The outcome is simple: if we maintain peace, we won’t gain the benefits of war. In 1,000 years, we will surely be defeated in the war against the next civilization, leading to certain death.”
