Chapter 1132: The Malevolent King of Shang Appears
Since the situation had escalated, the students' anger only intensified.
The students' shouts echoed deafeningly:
"Morgan Leisun, what the hell is going on? Is this your doing?"
"Are your Dark Energy Rebels deliberately jamming the signals to prevent us from using Saint Connect's software?"
"We haven't done anything to you, so why are you trying to exterminate us?"
"You %@, let me go!"
...
Despite their small numbers, the students' voices were loud and chaotic, creating a ruckus behind Morgan.
Morgan, hearing their shouts, was momentarily stunned.
To be honest, he hadn't expected Saint Connect's software to malfunction.
Based on his extensive knowledge of the Dark Energy Rebels (he had obtained a substantial amount of information from the Blue Star), the rebels' capabilities were far inferior to those of the Saint Silver Federation, and even Saint Connect itself was far beyond their reach.
Theoretically, the Dark Energy Rebels shouldn't have the ability to jam Saint Connect's software, and there had never been a recorded instance of the software failing in the past.
So why wasn't it working now?
...
However, now wasn't the time to dwell on these questions.
"Ahem." Morgan cleared his throat and spoke loudly to the crowd, "Everyone, since it's come to this, there's no point in trying to run. I advise you to join us, the Dark Energy Rebels, and turn your backs on the darkness! If you join us, you will be spared. Otherwise, you will meet a grim fate!"
Morgan's voice was so loud that it completely drowned out the students' cries.
Upon hearing Morgan's words, the students' voices immediately quieted down.
Some students fell into deep thought, considering whether to accept Morgan's offer.
Others continued to fiddle with Saint Connect's software, hoping it would suddenly start working.
However, at that moment, a voice from the distance cut through the air: "Heh, I wouldn't be so sure about that."
Manina's voice, though not particularly loud, was clear and distinct, reaching the ears of everyone present, including Morgan.
This immediately drew the attention of everyone, including Morgan, back to Manina.
Manina scanned the crowd, his gaze finally settling on Morgan.
He said coolly, "Morgan, how do you think I found out about you joining the Dark Energy Rebels?"
"???" Morgan was taken aback once again.
That was a good question. How had his father found out about this?
Morgan had been too preoccupied with the students' commotion to think about it until now. But now, he realized that this was indeed a peculiar situation!
Logically, his joining the Dark Energy Rebels shouldn't have been exposed! He had been planning to usurp his father's throne for several months, and it would have been understandable if some details had leaked. But his joining the rebels was a recent development, and the short time frame made it highly unlikely that it would have been exposed.
Moreover, apart from his teacher, his great-grandfather, and Plant, no one else knew about it.
Could one of them have betrayed him?
Morgan began to think quickly:
Firstly, his teacher was definitely not the one to leak the information. If his teacher had betrayed him, it would have been a disaster.
That left his great-grandfather and Plant. Could one of them have revealed the secret?
With this thought, Morgan cast a suspicious glance at his great-grandfather and Plant, who were hovering in the sky behind him. The look in his eyes spoke volumes.
Manina III and Plant were both intelligent individuals, and they quickly caught on to Morgan's suspicion.
They exchanged a doubtful glance.
Could one of them be a traitor?
But that doesn't make sense!
What benefits could there be in betraying the Dark Energy Rebellion? If Dalak caught them, their souls would be burned to ashes!
After some serious thought, Plante and Manina III were confident that the other wouldn't betray them. They were old and close friends, and there was no reason to betray each other over this.
So, Plante waved Morgan away and turned to Manina, saying, "Manina, how did you find out about this?"
Plante hadn't intended to speak during this coup, given how dishonorable it was. But now he had no choice.
Manina didn't plan to hide anything.
He looked up at the two peak-god-level beings and said, "I learned about this through a special channel, one you could never imagine."
Then he turned and bowed deeply, adding respectfully, "Lord Dixin, I believe you've been listening all along. It's time for you to step forward now!"
"What? King Dixin of Shang!!!" Plante, Manina III, Morgan, Alice, and the three peak-god-level beings from Blue Star were all shocked! Morgan's body even trembled violently!
Damn! Manina had secretly allied with King Dixin? An alliance with a planetary-level being from Blue Star?!
Su Yu and his companions felt like they were in a dream.
Manina had actually been in contact with Emperor Dixin?
They had no idea, and it was completely beyond their imagination.
No wonder Manina had been so calm earlier. With a planetary-level being like Emperor Dixin backing him, it would be strange if he weren't calm!
The exchange students and other high-ranking Skrulls didn't know who King Dixin was.
But from the rapidly changing expressions of Morgan, Alice, and the others, they could tell this was someone to be reckoned with.
Just as they were about to ask who this person was, a figure in a black robe slowly appeared above the clouds.
The figure was gaunt but sharp.
Standing in the clouds, he seemed to rule over everything below, looking down with a sense of absolute dominion.
Everyone except Su Yu and his companions immediately felt an immense pressure! It was a soul-deep oppression!
Morgan, Alice, Plante, and Manina III were completely stripped of their earlier confidence. Their minds were blank, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
By the gods, it was true that Manina had a connection with King Dixin!
This changed everything!
Initially, this was about forcing Manina to give up the throne. Now, it had become a direct confrontation between King Dixin and Lord Dalak!
Forcing Manina to step down was a big deal, but compared to a conflict between two powerful figures, it was child's play.
Alice, trembling, used her electronic device to send a signal to Lord Dalak.
Now that King Dixin had appeared, only Lord Dalak could save them!
If Lord Dalak appeared, they might have a chance to survive. If he didn't, King Dixin would show them no mercy, and they would be doomed.
Plante, Manina III, and Morgan understood this clearly. They quickly gathered around Alice, praying for Lord Dalak to appear soon.
King Dixin noticed their behavior but didn't take it too seriously.
He knew that Dalak had been watching from the shadows, just as he had.
Dalak wouldn't let Morgan and the others die. He was likely to show up, right?
