Chapter 1485: The Tense Council Hall
Chapter 1485: The Tense Council Hall
The AI Blue Whale's calculations were accurate; Su Yu indeed needed three and a half days of Time.
Three and a half days later, Su Yu and Leah, Female, completed their absorption and used the teleportation gate to return to Gryla-13.
That afternoon at 3 PM, within Wind Valley City.
In a construction that resembled a grand auditorium, Morningstar the Cat was sprawled on Leah, Female's throne, lazily swishing her tail.
This "grand auditorium" was actually the newly constructed council hall. After Leah, Female advanced to the Planetary Grade, she had it built to facilitate issuing commands and to convene with the leaders of other tribes to discuss governance.
The throne where Morningstar was sprawled belonged to Leah, Female, crafted entirely from pure gold and a variety of precious, colorful gems.
Due to the softness of high-purity gold, a psi-stabilization array with a two-meter diameter was set up around the throne.
At this moment, two hundred Dominator Rank cultivators were all present in the council hall, with the upper echelons of various tribes also in attendance, including Leah, Female's sister, Irelia, Female.
Currently, these powerful individuals were engaged in low, murmured discussions, their expressions varying widely. Some wore smiles, like Irelia, Female; others had serious faces, like Magrathon, Male; and still others looked skeptical.
Seeing that the time had arrived, Magrathon, Male, who stood at the center, was the first to ask the throne, "Lord Morningstar, are you sure it's now? It's already 3 PM as you said."
Morningstar had announced in advance that Su Yu and Leah, Female would return to Gryla at 3 PM today, and they would return on time, which was why everyone had gathered here to wait. Now, it was the time Morningstar had predicted.
"It is indeed 3 PM", Morningstar nodded.
However, she soon turned her head indifferently and casually said, "Well, just wait a bit longer. They'll definitely be back after some time."
"How long exactly do we need to wait?" asked another powerful figure from below the throne.
"How should I know?" Morningstar rolled her eyes at the questioner. "It could be a few minutes or a few hours. Can't you just wait patiently?"
As soon as Morningstar spoke, the murmurs below grew louder.
A Dominator Rank being that resembled a combination of a giant gorilla and a mammoth spoke up loudly, "Everyone, I still don't think this is the right approach. Lord Su Yu is indeed powerful, but why should we all swear allegiance to him?"
This statement from the Dominator Rank being immediately resonated with many of the other powerful figures:
"Yeah! Why must we all swear allegiance?"
"Each tribe is an independent entity and should not become a vassal to another."
"In the past, our tribes were all independent. Can't we remain so in the future?"
"The human race is indeed powerful, and I support you becoming the dominant force in the southern hemisphere, but requiring us to swear allegiance as a whole tribe is a bit too much, isn't it?"
A chorus of murmurs of doubt rose beneath the throne.
Morningstar paid no heed to the murmurs of dissent, disdainfully curling her whiskers. <|im_end|>
She knew why the murmurs of doubt were rising, as it was simply because these powerful beings didn't understand the true terror of a Planetary Grade's strength.
Although these powerful beings had witnessed the battle between Leah, Female and the Planetary Grade Automaton, the first time at the South Pole, the Automaton had hidden its true strength. The second time in Crystal Grid City, Leah, Female had concealed her full power.
Once they truly saw Su Yu's strength, they wouldn't dare to question anymore.
...
Seeing that Morningstar was ignoring them, someone beneath the throne immediately began to incite Magrathon, Male, as he was their mainstay.
"Lord Magrathon, Male? We can lead with the human race, but we can't just swear allegiance!"
"Lord Magrathon, Male, think more about your own people. Are we supposed to be slaves to the human race from now on?"
"Lord Magrathon, Male, shouldn't the Lingyi Tribe have some pride?"
Hearing these words, Magrathon, Male couldn't help but frown: "This..."
To be honest, Magrathon, Male definitely didn't want to become a vassal of the human race. Being a vassal was one thing, but being a slave was another.
However, he was uncertain about the true extent of Su Yu and Leah, Female's power.
"Sir Morningstar", Magrathon, Male mustered up his courage and tentatively asked, "Can we negotiate about swearing allegiance to Lord Su Yu?"
"You have no choice", Morningstar cut in directly. "Either swear allegiance or leave this council chamber. Of course, the consequences of leaving are on you."
She stood up, looking impatiently at all the powerful beings. "The same goes for you. Either swear allegiance or leave. Stop making a racket! You sound like flies."
Although the powerful beings didn't know what "flies" were, seeing Morningstar's atrocious attitude, several of them were about to burst into flames:
"What kind of attitude is that?"
"Are we your property now?"
"Are we begging you to be our masters?"
"If you're already this bad now, what will it be like in the future?"
Not just those few powerful beings, but Magrathon, Male's expression also turned sour. He was extremely angry and felt an impulse to turn and leave right then and there.
Seeing the situation escalate, Irelia, Female, standing on the periphery, quickly gave Morningstar a meaningful look.
But Morningstar ignored her, standing indifferently.
Just as tensions were reaching a boiling point, a silver teleportation gate opened five meters in front of Morningstar.
Su Yu and Leah, Female emerged from the teleportation gate.
