Chapter 1162: 1124, Skuru's God Level Pain Point Chapter 1162: 1124, Skuru's God Level Pain Point For these two tribes, the Skrull implemented a more sophisticated “carrot-and-stick” strategy.
Not long ago, the Skrull harshly plundered a great deal of Spiritual Energy from Blue Star using the “Anti-heavy crystal drilling instrument.”
Now, under the leadership of Emperor Manina of Raging Sun, the Skrull brought out all the plundered Spiritual Energy, as well as the reserves, to tempt various tribes into joining the war.
These tribes had never seen so much Spiritual Energy!
Spiritual Energy production on Skru Star was already scarce, and with the Skrull's dominant position, the Human Race had always taken the lion's share of the global Spiritual Energy distribution, while other tribes could only feast on the leftovers.
Looking at the recent situation on Skru Star, the continent inhabited by the Skrull had much higher Spiritual Energy production and reserves compared to other continents.
Why didn't the vast Wilderness Continent become the Skrull's turf? It was because that place was truly barren with very low Spiritual Energy reserves.
Now that the Human Race brought out so much Spiritual Energy all at once, it immediately dazzled many tribes!
Under the temptation of such a large amount of enticing Spiritual Energy, no tribe could escape the lure and thus, they were tempted onto the chariot of war.
Moreover, Manina offered a greater share of Spiritual Energy to specifically entice the Dragon Race and the White-Headed Eagle, causing great indecision and significant discord within the two major tribes.
And the Skrull's ruthless tactics were not just one-offs!
In terms of the “carrot,” aside from the massive amount of Spiritual Energy, the Sitr people also promised many other benefits, such as the distribution of spoils after victory. If the two major tribes joined the war, they would receive the highest level of victory spoils, stirring restlessness in the hearts of dragons and eagles within.
As for the “stick.”
On one hand, the Skrull used world opinion and the rhetoric of various tribes to pressure the Dragon Race and the White-Headed Eagle, almost as if they would be eliminated before the war started if they did not agree.
On the other hand, the Skrull employed the formation of the Skru Star Alliance Forces, which was to oppose the Dark Energy Rebel Army, to further coerce the Dragon Race and the White-Headed Eagle.
Under such overwhelming temptation and threats, the Dragon Race and the White-Headed Eagle ultimately had no choice but to compromise and sent some of their forces to Sun City.
The Dragon Race dispatched 800 strong and vigorous adult dragons, while the White-Headed Eagle sent 15,000 Elite War Eagles.
However, they preserved their final line of defense.
The troops they sent did not join the Skrull's expeditionary force; they were only officially a part of the Skru Star Alliance Forces opposing Drac. At least on the surface, they would not participate in the war between the Skrull and the Blue Star Humans.
But in their hearts, they were well aware of the disposition of the Skrull, especially Emperor Manina of Raging Sun. In the critical phase of the war, the forces they dispatched would inevitably be sent to the Blue Star battlefield.
Thus, they were effectively participating in the war, just coerced into it.
In short, the present Skrull Race had already integrated all planetary forces and was more powerful than ever before.
This was entirely different from the Skrull of the past life.
In the past life, the Blue Star Humans were too weak, and the traces of the Dark Energy Rebel Army had not been exposed, resulting in the Skrull Race of that time not mobilizing for war at all, let alone integrating the forces of minor nations and foreign tribes. It was merely the Raging Sun Empire and the Lunket Alliance that effortlessly flattened the Blue Star Humans.
In this life, the strength of the Blue Star side has become unprecedentedly powerful, with just the eighth-order peak individuals totaling three!
Therefore, the Skrull had no choice but to integrate the forces of all nations, all tribes, and even the entire planet, to ensure overwhelming victory in this battle!
…
The Skrull people present at the gathering knew this fact all too well. After reviewing Manina's integrated analysis chart of the power of each race, everyone was even more confident, preparing for a decisive battle to the death with the Blue Star Humans.
However, there was an exception among the God Level beings present, and she was the seriously wounded Elizabeth.
Elizabeth was said to be seriously wounded, but in fact, she had long since recovered, and had already betrayed her own mother star under Cecilia's seduction.
The reason she still pretended to be gravely wounded was mainly because she did not want to go to the battlefield; lurking in the shadows and fishing in troubled waters was the best way to reap the greatest benefits.
At this point, she furrowed her brow and said, puzzled, “There's one thing I don't understand…”
When everyone's gaze turned towards her, she continued, “I am very worried that everyone might be overly confident. The strength of the Blue Star Humans is actually quite formidable!
Take me, for example, not long ago I almost inadvertently fell on Blue Star. It was only by forcibly passing through the Space Cracks at the last critical moment that I managed to save my life.
To my knowledge, the God Level strength of Blue Star is very strong, and they won't be much worse than us at the same level.
Moreover, Blue Star now has as many as 10 God Level beings, with 3 at the God Level peak. Cat Morning Star can even resurrect indefinitely!
Given our current strength, do we really want to fight to the death with the Blue Star Humans? Even as God Level beings, we cannot be sure to survive the great war, can we?”
Elizabeth's words, though she spoke with a somewhat weak voice, lacking in inner strength, suddenly chilled the atmosphere in the conference room, and no one spoke in the large gathering space.
What Elizabeth had pointed out hit everyone's sore spot.
The Skuru God Level beings did not care about those below the Seventh Order, and it could be said, “Below God Level, all are as ants”; they wouldn't so much as blink an eye if their subordinates were used up in large numbers, even if they were all to die.
But what concerned them the most was the possibility of dying themselves on the battlefield!
After all, there were 10 God Level beings on the side of Blue Star, and 3 of them were at the God Level peak!
To completely annihilate this power, how could there not be a price to pay?
Those among them, particularly the lower God Levels, were likely to have a not so small chance of falling.
Seeing everyone fall silent, Manina also realized that Elizabeth had touched on a painful point.
Regarding this pain point, he had pondered countless solutions, day and night, but in the end, there were only a few truly effective ones.
And each of these few solutions required a huge sacrifice.
He could only choose from these methods, striving to select the one everyone could accept the most.
After some thought, he turned towards Elizabeth and slowly said, choosing his words carefully, “Your Excellency Elizabeth, you have been seriously injured recently, and there is much you do not know.
First of all, let me say one thing, in fact, we no longer have a way back.”
Manina cleared his throat and said earnestly, “According to the characteristics of the 'Civilization Ascension Plan', at this stage of the war, our Skuru people have only one way out–'to defeat the Blue Star People'. Apart from that, there are no other options.
'To be defeated' goes without saying, our Skuru people will most likely be exterminated by the Blue Star Humans.
What if, as the anti-alliance organization suggested, we don't invade Blue Star and maintain peace between us instead?
The outcome is quite simple in that case, by always maintaining peace, we won't be able to gain the dividends of war. A thousand years later, we will inevitably suffer a great defeat in the war against the next civilization, and by then it will be a certain demise!”
