Global Game: Ten Billion Spirit Energy Coins From The Start
Chapter 1205 - Chapter 1205 1162 Stamp of the Vanquished

Chapter 1205: 1162, Stamp of the Vanquished Chapter 1205: 1162, Stamp of the Vanquished According to Manina’s understanding, Shepherd in the Clouds’ strength reached the peak of the Seventh Order and he was a member of the Blue Star core decision-making layer.

If one were to rank the importance of each human on the Blue Star, he would definitely be in the top 20.

Why would such a powerful figure commit suicide?

Furthermore, when Shepherd in the Clouds said “See you in the future”, he did so with a very relieved mindset; what was that all about?

“Blue Devourer, help me analyze the suicide of Blue Star’s Shepherd in the Clouds, analyze what he was really thinking,” Manina instructed AI Blue Devourer.

“Understood,” AI Blue Devourer replied and began computing.

A few seconds later, AI Blue Devourer’s voice sounded again, “Your Majesty, according to my analysis, the reason Shepherd in the Clouds committed suicide is likely because he also had a ‘Defeatist Tendency’.”

Manina’s expression sharpened, “‘Defeatist Tendency’? The same ‘Defeatist Tendency’ I had a headache about a few days ago?”

“Exactly.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, the probability is over 90%,” AI Blue Devourer answered coldly, “I can see the internal struggle within Shepherd in the Clouds, which matches exactly with the behavior patterns of lifeforms that have a ‘Defeatist Tendency’.

Moreover, they had the promise of King Zhou of Shang, a planet-level powerhouse, that if they won, they could be resurrected after the great war ended, which led Shepherd in the Clouds to choose sacrifice as a way to seek relief alongside a group of his kin who also held ‘Defeatist Tendencies’.

However, all this is just my speculation. Your Majesty, I request to dispatch a probe to search the First Defense Line ruins; from there, we might be able to unearth some lingering data to confirm this.”

“Alright, once the Violent Spiritual Energy there is dealt with, send a probe over,” Manina agreed.

At the same time, he thoughtfully stroked his chin and murmured softly, “If it’s really as you say, then this matter just got interesting!”

Blue Star Humans having a “Defeatist Tendency” was something Manina had not anticipated.

So where did the “Defeatist Tendency” of the Blue Star People come from?

Both sides of their battle showing this debuff didn’t seem like a coincidence. And it’s highly likely that it wasn’t the doing of the Blue Star People themselves since they definitely wouldn’t hurt their own people.

So what is this thing?

Could it be…

Manina paused momentarily, then looked up into the sky.

He looked towards the southwest direction of the sky, where the Holy Silver Federation’s forces were stationed in near-Earth orbit.

He muttered to himself again, “If the ‘Defeatist Tendency’ comes from the Dark Energy Rebel Army, then everything makes sense. Are they the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes?”

Thinking this, he once again instructed AI Blue Devourer, “Blue Devourer, help me contact the Holy Silver Fleet and inquire about the ‘Defeatist Tendency’. Let me know immediately once they respond!”

“Understood!”

…

AI Blue Devourer sent out a beam of electronic signal to the Holy Silver Fleet, storing the inquiry within this beam of signal.

Previously, they had never sent a signal to the Holy Silver Fleet; this was the first time.

They did not know if the Holy Silver Fleet would respond, but they had to try.

However, their worries were evidently unnecessary.

After only about three minutes, AI Blue Devourer received a response.

It immediately reported to Manina, “Your Majesty, the Holy Silver Federation has sent a reply. They have confirmed that the ‘Defeatist Tendency’ is indeed a tactic of the Dark Energy Rebel Army, and its full name is — ‘Defeatist’s Brand’.”

“The ‘Loser’s Mark’?” Manina was taken aback.

Although he could not understand, it felt formidable.

“Yes,” Blue Devourer, the AI, replied. “The ‘Loser’s Mark’ is a psychic attack method used by the Dark Energy Rebel Army.

According to the Holy Silver Fleet’s replies, the war between His Majesty Emperor Xin and the Dark Energy Rebel Army had already started the moment he arrived on Blue Star.

In the following months, both sides conducted numerous probing attacks, which included small-scale, localized skirmishes.

These wars were all conducted in deep space and did not disturb the battlefield on Blue Star, so none of us were aware of it.”

“Um… go on,” Manina frowned.

Blue Devourer continued, “About 40 days ago, Blue Star time, the Dark Energy Rebel Army used a special attack method called the ‘Loser’s Mark.’

The ‘Loser’s Mark’ is a psychic attack. Once it makes contact with a target organism, it invades the organism’s brain and roots itself in their consciousness, forming a subconscious presence.

For example, our high-ranking powerhouses, once invaded by the ‘Loser’s Mark,’ would generate a great deal of ‘our side is bound to lose’ thoughts in their minds, leading them to become emotionally depressed, panicked, dispirited, lose confidence, and in severe cases, at risk of total collapse!

The ‘Loser’s Mark’ was primarily used by the Dark Energy Rebel Army to target the Holy Silver Fleet, causing severe ‘despair trends’ in the mental consciousness of many of the God Level powerhouses.

However, a very small portion of the ‘Loser’s Marks’ missed the Holy Silver Fleet and were swept by the Spiritual Energy Flood into the main battlefield on Blue Star, thus infecting the Blue Star Humans and us Skrull people on the battlefield, leading to a large number of ‘despair trend’ infections in both our armies.

That roughly sums up the situation.”

“Oh… so that’s what happened!” Manina suddenly understood.

Everything made sense now.

It turned out to be a case of the gods fighting and the mortals suffering.

He sighed, “I was wondering why the ‘despair trend’ occurred so suddenly; it turns out it was the doing of the Dark Energy Rebel Army!”

Manina’s voice was loud and was immediately heard by the high-ranking Skrull surrounding him.

Hearing this, all the high-ranking Skrull were greatly shocked!

They looked at Manina in astonishment.

So, the recent ‘despair trends’ were due to this! A tactic of the Dark Energy Rebel Army!

But after the initial surprise, a good deal of fear quickly built up in everyone’s heart.

Facing such a formidable enemy as the “Dark Energy Rebel Army,” it was certainly impossible for them not to be afraid.

All they could hope for was that the Holy Silver Fleet could overcome this fearsome enemy.

Manina quickly realized his lapse.

This information could not be spread now, as the term “Dark Energy Rebel Army” would definitely cause widespread panic.

So, he instructed those around him, “Everyone, pay attention. Keep what I just said confidential. Do not let any of it leak. Understand?”

“Understood, Your Majesty,” the surrounding high-ranking powerhouses responded.

Manina nodded and continued to ask the AI Blue Devourer, “Blue Devourer, did the Holy Silver Fleet mention how to remove the ‘Loser’s Mark’ after being infected?”

“No, they did not say,” the AI Blue Devourer replied. “According to them, about one-third of their troops have been corrupted by the ‘Loser’s Mark,’ and they also have no solution.

Only some with exceptionally strong mental power or particularly firm will among the God Level were able to break free by themselves. There’s almost no way for those below God Level.”

“No way for those below God Level?!” Manina was shocked and frowned again.
