Chapter 1504: The Despair of the Radiant Tier
Chapter 1504: The Despair of the Radiant Tier
Eighteen of the most powerful Radiant Tier beings were frantically messaging each other on the Mental Network, each sending several messages per second:
"Are they really alien lifeforms?"
"Seems like it."
"How do they know our language?"
"They probably sent spies to learn it in secret."
"Hold on, everyone." At this moment, the most influential figure on the Mental Network spoke up.
This powerful figure was Lemi Melli, the strongest of the Gryla-13A Carbon-Based Life Forms and the recognized spiritual leader of the group.
Upon seeing him speak, the frequency of messages on the Mental Network immediately dropped as everyone waited for Lemi Melli to continue.
After about five seconds, Lemi Melli continued, "I made brief contact with the alien entity using Psychic Energy and discovered that we are not even on the same level. She seems to be an existence beyond the Radiant Tier!"
"Beyond the Radiant Tier?"
"How is that possible?"
"So, the peak of the Radiant Tier isn't the end?"
The Mental Network was filled with exclamations of shock.
At this point, Aikbale felt the timing was right.
He immediately spoke up on the Mental Network, "The universe is vast and full of wonders. It's entirely possible that there are higher tiers beyond the Radiant Tier.
We should think about what to do next.
The alien visitor claims to be a Carbon-Based Life Form and won't target us..."
Before Aikbale could finish, someone in the Mental Network immediately shot back, "You actually believe her? Do you trust an alien?"
"Seriously, you trust an alien? Isn't this just a ploy to delay us, eliminate the Automatons first, and then deal with us?"
"Have you forgotten the humiliation of the Golden Light Nation? It's only been three hundred years, has your brain been kicked by a donkey?"
"The humiliation of the Golden Light Nation" is a famous anecdote in Gryla-13A, similar to Earth's "Lips gone, teeth cold."
Seeing the situation turn against him, Aikbale quickly countered, "Of course I remember the humiliation of the Golden Light Nation, but the current situation is completely different.
I ask you, how can we deal with an existence beyond the Radiant Tier? We are at least one major realm below them!
And there are at least four of them that I can sense!"
"..."
"..."
The Mental Network fell silent.
Aikbale was right; dealing with beings beyond the Radiant Tier would be extremely difficult.
Even ten Legendary Tier (7th Tier) beings fighting a single early Radiant Tier (8th Tier) being would require several lives to win.
At their level, who would be willing to risk their life against an unknown, higher-tier enemy?
And there were four of them! The thought was truly daunting.
Seeing the tide turn, Aikbale pressed his advantage, "Luge, Leikes, what do you think?"
Luge and Leikes were also peak Radiant Tier beings. Unlike the others, they had already discussed the situation with Aikbale.
Although they knew less than Aikbale, they quickly chimed in:
"Right, Aikbale is correct."
"We Carbon-Based Life Forms are already oppressed by the Automatons. Why should we stand with the Automatons now?"
"Exactly, even if we help the Automatons and manage to drive away the alien invaders, can we really expect the Automatons to live in peace with us?"
Seeing the situation fully controlled by the "surrender faction", the few remaining supporters of the Automatons were at a loss.
The surrender faction had a point; they were mortal enemies of the Automatons, and helping them would indeed be absurd.
But what if the aliens were lying?
In the end, these powerful beings turned their attention to Lemi Melli.
One of them said, "Why don't we do what we've always done and follow Melli's lead? Melli, what do you think? Should we help the Automatons or stay out of it?"
Everyone expected Lemi Melli to take some time to think. After all, this was a crucial decision that could determine the fate of the entire planet and required serious consideration.
But to their surprise, Lemi Melli immediately responded on the Mental Network, "We should listen to the alien and do nothing. Everyone, stay where you are and keep your clans in check!"
The "pro-Automaton" faction was stunned by Lemi Melli's statement.
"Can you explain your reasoning?" someone asked.
"Simply put", Lemi Melli said, "an existence beyond the Radiant Tier is on an entirely different level. Even if all eighteen of us attack together... we probably wouldn't stand a chance against any one of them."
"Really? Are you being too pessimistic?"
"Really, I swear on my honor", Lemi Melli said.
Lemi Melli's words were genuine. Because right in front of him, just three meters away, stood Leah, a woman.
Leah, with her arms crossed, was smiling at him.
Lemi Melli could feel Leah's power firsthand. Faced with such a terrifying presence, he felt only despair.
