Chapter 99: The Skrull Reaction
Chapter 99: The Skrull Reaction
"???" Three large question marks appeared over Plant's head.
So, Su Yu actually came to negotiate peace?
Are you kidding me?!
Our two races have been fighting to the bitter end, with the tension as taut as a drawn bow, ready to unleash a full-scale war. How can we just shake hands and make peace out of nowhere?
"Oh, I see!..." Suddenly, Plant thought of another possibility—could it be that the large-scale mining of anti-gravity crystals from the major springs has overwhelmed the Blue Star cultivators, and they are so desperate that they have come to seek peace?
Plant felt this was a very plausible explanation.
So, he calmly faced Su Yu and slowly said, "Negotiation isn't out of the question, but our terms remain the same—Asia will belong to you Blue Star humans, and the rest of the regions will be ours, the Skrulls. This is our bottom line, and it's up to you to accept or reject it."
"..." Su Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.
At this critical moment, you're still thinking about invading Blue Star human territory?
But considering Plant didn't know about the Dark Energy Rebellion, Su Yu didn't blame him.
Su Yu changed the subject, "No, you misunderstood me. I didn't come here to negotiate peace, but to discuss something else. This matter starts with the recent battle in the 'Evolution' game..."
Su Yu didn't hold back, starting from Tina's sudden coma and recounting everything that happened in the game, all the way to Cecilia's downfall.
To prevent other Skrulls from overhearing, he even set up a soundproof barrier to ensure the secret remained confidential.
As Su Yu narrated, Plant's expression shifted from calm to surprised, then to serious and disbelieving.
Even with his millennia of experience, he had never heard of such an outrageous event!
Cecilia shattered a barrier created by a god-tier entity and withstood the combined assault of twelve god-tier beings and over ninety seventh-stage strong ones!
Even he, combined with eight or nine others, couldn't achieve such a feat!
What is Cecilia's background? Why is she so powerful? The game shouldn't be able to spawn such a formidable character, right?
However, he didn't entirely trust Su Yu's story, just in case Su Yu was making it up to deceive him.
But deep down, he believed Su Yu, because no one would fabricate such an outrageous story, and Su Yu certainly wouldn't go through the trouble of lying about it.
After hearing Su Yu's account, Plant pondered for a long time.
He stared directly at Su Yu and asked slowly, "How do I know if what you're saying is true?"
Su Yu smiled, "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. I'll continue... After Belina woke up, according to her description, Cecilia comes from a galaxy-level rebellion organization—the 'Dark Energy Rebellion'!..."
He continued to recount everything, all the way to his journey to the capital to meet Donna, who handed him the Dark Energy Rebellion's dossier.
As Su Yu narrated, Plant's expression could no longer be described as "surprised"; "incredible" and "shocked" were more fitting.
He never imagined Cecilia's background to be so significant! She was from the top three rebellion organizations of the Holy Silver Civilization!
And even more unbelievable—his planet, Skrull, had been targeted by the Dark Energy Rebellion! And behind Cecilia must be a planetary-level powerful entity!
By the end, Plant felt half his body was numb, and his mind was a jumbled mess.
With such a terrifying major power targeting their planet, what should they do?
...
Su Yu took out a pale green, metallic electronic terminal from his backpack.
This terminal was the one Donna had given him, containing the complete dossier on the Dark Energy Rebellion.
The data had already been replicated into the Blue Star database by AI Blue Whale, and the original could be handed over to the Skrulls.
Su Yu tossed the terminal to Plant and said, "This electronic terminal contains all the information Donna gave me about the 'Dark Energy Rebellion.' You can study it thoroughly.
As for whether my story is true or not, you can ask the Holy Silver Federation's war monitor, Link. He wouldn't lie for me, would he?"
Plant used the additional mechanical arm of his mech to carefully catch the terminal, ensuring it was safe before holding it in his hand.
He already believed Su Yu by 90%, but to be cautious, he decided to verify with Link.
"Alright, we'll study and discuss it. We'll get back to you shortly." Plant said seriously.
"Remember to keep it confidential."
Su Yu warned, "This must be kept a secret from as many people as possible. If it gets out, it will cause widespread panic."
"Don't worry about that. I know what to do."
...
Plante wasted no time.
Upon receiving the electronic terminal, he immediately used the base's AI system to transmit the data back to the home planet. He also sent the footage of his meeting with Su Yu. To ensure secrecy, he marked the data and footage as "Top Secret," accessible only by the highest-ranking members of the Skrul Council.
Plante then instructed the AI Syblue to contact Manina III, who was still on the Skrul planet, to verify the authenticity of Su Yu's claims with Linke.
Plante himself remained on Earth, primarily to prevent Su Yu from lying. If Su Yu's story turned out to be a fabrication and he rushed back to the home planet, the Blue Star cultivators could take advantage of the spatial rift's instability to seize the Elbert Spring. That would make him a laughingstock.
So, Plante stayed on the Blue Star.
...
The members of the Skrul Council received the data and immediately convened a meeting to discuss it.
Emperor Leiyang Manina, Councilor Runkte Kusman, God-tier power Sidiem, Lei, Xibo, and Oetas gathered in the video conference room, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
They had just watched the video of Su Yu and Plante's conversation and read the "Overview of the Dark Energy Rebel Forces." It all seemed like a dream.
A galaxy-level resistance force was planning to attack them? What did their small Skrul planet do to attract such a massive threat?
The meeting began with Councilor Runkte Kusman asking, "Is everything Su Yu said true? Are we really being targeted by the Dark Energy Rebel Forces? And is our God-Tier power, Cessilia, a mole?"
Emperor Manina nodded grimly, "Based on the data Su Yu provided, it's highly likely to be true. Otherwise, how could the Blue Star people have the resources to create such comprehensive information?"
The data Su Yu provided was extensive, taking even the AI Blue Whale a long time to analyze. The Skrul planet's AI would need several days to fully process it. The Blue Star's technological level couldn't produce such detailed data.
"Regardless, let's wait for Manina III's report," Sidiem, the meeting's chair, said solemnly. "He has already contacted Linke, and we should have the results soon."
The Skrul leaders then discussed the "Dark Energy Rebel Forces" in depth.
Their concerns were similar to those of Hu Jing and Su Yu: they were terrified of the Dark Energy Rebel Forces' overwhelming power but hoped that the Sacred Song could send a reliable high-tier power to aid them.
...
About half an hour later, Manina III entered the video conference room.
By then, Plante had already joined the meeting. Despite being on the Blue Star, the spatial rift made video transmission challenging, but given the urgency, they managed to include Plante.
As soon as Manina III entered, Plante asked, "What's the situation? What did Linke say? Is everything Su Yu said true?"
To everyone's surprise, Manina III shook his head, "I'm sorry, I couldn't reach Linke. He declined my request, saying he's very busy and can only meet tomorrow afternoon."
"Is that so?" The Skrul leaders couldn't hide their frustration.
Without contacting Linke, they couldn't verify the truth of Su Yu's claims and couldn't proceed with their discussion.
Should they really wait until tomorrow for Linke's official response?
Manina III understood his colleagues' thoughts and smiled, "Don't worry, I've already verified Su Yu's claims through other channels. Everything Su Yu said is true, and there are no signs of any falsehood."
"Oh, really?" The leaders in the video conference room perked up.
"Manina, through what channel did you verify it?" Plante asked first.
"I went to Mona," Manina III replied.
"Oh~" Everyone immediately understood.
"Mona" was the peak God-Tier power of the Sacred Silver Race sent by the Sacred Song to balance Cao Cao's influence.
If asking Linke couldn't 100% guarantee the truth, asking Mona definitely would.
After all, Morna has been living on Skrull for a long time. Su Yu couldn't possibly have the means to recruit her, right?
"Old Ancestor, what about Morna?" Manina XIII asked anxiously.
The other leaders remained silent, waiting for Manina III to speak.
Manina III paused, then said, "She confirmed to me that all the information is true, with no signs of fabrication. However..."
"However, what?" Manina XIII pressed urgently.
"However, Morna's behavior was very strange just now," Manina III replied, recalling the incident.
"At first, she was extremely excited when she saw the information I brought, saying, 'Now I can go back, and I don't even have to do anything for this mission, and I'll still get a reward!'
But then, the super AI, Sanctus, rejected her request to return and ordered her to stay on Skrull. This infuriated her, and she destroyed dozens of buildings over a few hundred meters, turning the area into a wasteland! But no one inside the buildings was harmed."
Manina XIII was stunned. "Why would Sanctus refuse to let her return to the Saint Silver Federation?"
"I'm not sure about that," Manina III shook his head. "But one thing is certain: Su Yu was telling the truth. The 'Dark Energy Rebel Army' is indeed targeting us."
"Is that so..." The atmosphere in the video conference room immediately grew much heavier.
Earlier, some of them had hoped that Su Yu was just making up a story to deceive them.
Now, with concrete evidence, they had to face the threat of the Dark Energy Rebel Army head-on.
"Eighty planetary-level and ten thousand god-level..." The thought of the rebels' terrifying strength immediately filled them with a deep sense of helplessness.
The video conference room fell into a heavy silence, with no one speaking.
...
After about three minutes, Plaut's voice broke the silence.
He said solemnly, "We need to keep our heads up. We can't face such a powerful enemy alone; we need support from the Saint Silver Federation. If Sanctus sends a capable being here, then everything will be fine."
"You're right," the other Skrull leaders agreed.
"But we can't just sit idle," Plaut continued. "Before the powerful being from Sanctus arrives, we need to do four things."
"Which four things?" Kusman asked.
"The first thing—implement the highest level of war mobilization. Everyone must be prepared for war," Plaut said seriously.
Previously, the Skrull had already undergone a war mobilization, but that was to deal with the Blue Star humans. Since the Blue Star humans couldn't possibly reach Skrull, that mobilization was at a lower level, and ordinary citizens' lives were largely unaffected.
This time, however, the highest level of war mobilization would be implemented, and ordinary citizens would have to follow the joint government's arrangements, dedicating themselves fully to the war effort, which would mean less freedom.
"Alright, I'll announce the highest level of war mobilization in the next couple of days," Manina replied.
"The second thing, make peace with the Blue Star humans. I think it's necessary to make peace with the Blue Star humans. The Dark Energy Rebel Army poses a much greater threat to us, no matter how you look at it.
"We should proactively request from Sanctus to cancel or temporarily delay the war between our two planets, focusing all our attention on the Dark Energy Rebel Army."
"You're absolutely right," Manina nodded. "We should indeed maintain peace with the Blue Star humans. I'll make the request to Sanctus right away."
Plaut continued, "The third thing, we should pause the anti-gravity diamond devices we've set up on Blue Star. At the very least, we shouldn't cause the Blue Star humans any more anxiety."
"Agreed."
"The fourth thing," Plaut's expression grew sharp. "Cecilia is still recuperating in her residence, right? How can we allow this traitor to continue to roam free?"
"What do you mean?"
"Right now, let's all go to her residence and capture this traitor alive!"
"Agreed! I support your decision!"
"Me too!"
...
The four things Plaut mentioned received full support from the Skrull leaders.
With life and death hanging in the balance, they immediately set to work on these tasks after the meeting.
On Blue Star, the anti-gravity diamond devices at the eight spirit springs were simultaneously shut down.
They demonstrated their willingness to make peace with the Blue Star humans through their actions.
