Chapter 961: Chapter 689 Negotiations?

The high-ranking officials aboard the flagship watched as another Civilization Destroyer was swiftly killed by Zheng Yichen before it could even shift to Stage 2, and after a moment of silence, they said, "Even the Civilization Destroyer is inadequate... Let’s negotiate then."

Civilization Destroyers had two forms. The first was the one Zheng Yichen was currently fighting, and the second resembled a warship, but the second form was not very practical inside the flagship. Moreover, the difference in combat power between the two forms was minimal.

It was just a matter of focus; the first form was suitable for infiltration while the second form was suited for confronting other galactic warships in space.

Neither form affected the Civilization Destroyer’s output; it only affected consumption.

"Agreed."

No one else objected. The cost of developing Civilization Destroyers was extremely high. So far, only two complete units have been created—those that were incomplete would simply be sent to their doom against Zheng Yichen.

An image appeared near Zheng Yichen. The extraterrestrial on the other side observed him with a solemn expression, never expecting such a human to possess such formidable power—and he wasn’t even using magic...

Now they regretted not occupying Dusk immediately after the first Civilization Destroyer was made and preventing any contact between the locals and Dusk Territory.

They had encountered many Outsiders before, whose strength was within their acceptable range. Over time, they became arrogant, or rather, they wanted to use the Dusk Cathedral to fish for more unique research samples.

They never expected that the native Dusk mercenaries could bring forth such a formidable being...

"We request negotiations," said the extraterrestrial using a common language. They hadn’t known it before but had learned the local language after blockading the planet for over a hundred years.

"Negotiate? I disagree!" Zheng Yichen’s response was very straightforward. His Spiritual Bodies had already explored some areas, and those that couldn’t be scouted were blocked by protective force fields, which Spiritual Bodies couldn’t penetrate.

"... You are not from the same world; there is no need for this. Moreover, the natives of this planet are too primitive. Having them occupy this planet is purely a waste of resources. Even with your help to resist our invasion this time, our Mother Star will arrange the next colonization."

The quadruped extraterrestrial eloquently explained the advantages and disadvantages of Zheng Yichen continuing the fight. Killing them wouldn’t count as a victory; their Mother Star would only send a stronger fleet.

The developmental value of this planet was too substantial. Over the years, they had also transmitted their research on magic back to their Mother Star. The war wouldn’t end with their defeat!

"Collaborate with us in developing this planet. When the time comes, you can have anything you desire, including part of the World Tree. The natives of this planet have no future!"

"You speak well, but I refuse," said Zheng Yichen with a slight grin. "What gives you, an outsider, the right to decide the human’s future? You say your Mother Star will send a new fleet? I don’t care. I’ll take action when the time comes... and don’t let me find your Mother Star!"

The quadruped extraterrestrial’s expression turned ugly, observing this human who was not only powerful but also a xenophobe.

"A wise man submits to circumstances. With such strength, you don’t need to be held back by the primitives. You can achieve better growth and development. Together, we could even colonize other worlds; countless resources would be at your disposal."

"Get real. Have you encountered as many worlds as I have?" Zheng Yichen chuckled, his Life Perception and thermal vision allowing him to see some movements nearby. Creatures similar to Quadruped Dragon Hominids had moved in quickly, their bodies beginning to release large amounts of heat internally.

"... If that’s the case, we have no choice but to fight to the end."

Next to that projection, numerous screens appeared, displaying many humans living on the Moon. The quadruped extraterrestrials didn’t just cram those humans into jars for their magic studies.

A significant number of humans were granted very decent living conditions, existing within a fabricated society. In their understanding, the quadruped extraterrestrials were their benefactors who helped them rebuild their homes after the ’doomsday’.

This allowed them to survive; as for the environment post-doomsday... well, the Moon itself was desolate enough that no transformation was necessary to make the humans believe the environment was the result of the doomsday.

The story crafted by the quadruped extraterrestrials was quite effective. ’Rebuilding civilization,’ the humans studied the new magic with great diligence, attempting to save their homeland and the neighboring planets. In the story created by the quadrupeds, their planet had become desolate due to the World Tree.

The World Tree’s growth required massive amounts of nutrients, sucking the planet dry and leaving it barren and scarcely inhabitable.

The World Tree ’parasitized’ another planet, which would also become desolate like the Moon if left unchecked. But if they worked together and managed to control the World Tree before it ’induced doomsday,’ they could move to that planet and regain a beautiful life.

Amidst a fictitious society and false hopes for a bright future, the humans on the Moon displayed extraordinary enthusiasm.

The problems encountered by the quadruped extraterrestrials in their research of magic were all solved by those united humans, who proved to have truly impressive research capabilities.

While researching magic, they could also select those geniuses for human studies. With over a century of nurturing, the Moon’s population had exceeded one million.

With their biotechnology, if necessary, the number could still double in twenty years.

But this number was almost enough. Among these over a million humans, nearly one-third had mastered the power of magic, which they applied across various everyday fields.

This was guided by the quadruped extraterrestrials, allowing them to utilize magic to better drive the research and development of magic and through several generations of genetic adjustments they conducted on the lunar humans.

Without affecting their magical talent, whenever necessary, they could use a catalyst to directly transform lunar humans into powerful magic biological weapons. As long as they could break the World Tree’s blockade, the people on the Moon would become an army of a million strong.

"Only, they have a very beautiful life and homeland on the Moon. Actually, we have no hostility towards humans, if it wasn’t for..."

"Let me see just how strong your determination to fight to the end is!" Zheng Yichen swung his black spear, causing a series of explosions in the area, and the projection screen in front of him instantly disappeared.

Was Mador trying to morally kidnap him with those lunar humans? Zheng Yichen was not afraid of that at all!

He was only thinking about how to make the fate of the quadruped extraterrestrials on this warship even more miserable!

When he reached Tanshia Firlo, the thermal reactions in Zheng Yichen’s eyes became like the sun. In that instant, Zheng Yichen plunged the black spear into the ground, deployed the Divine Domain, and a fierce explosion engulfed them, causing the entire Divine Domain to tremble violently.

The massive dragon head of Tanshia Firlo involuntarily squeezed into Zheng Yichen’s arms, terrified by the intense energy fluctuations penetrating the Divine Domain.

The intensity of the explosions was too high, and the protective sphere she carried couldn’t possibly save her life.

The Divine Domain deployed by Zheng Yichen produced intense spatial distortions, which dissipated the constantly infiltrating explosive impacts into distorted fluctuations.

"You’re being too reckless!" Tanshia Firlo shifted back to her own form and clung tightly in Zheng Yichen’s arms, trembling with fear.

"Not reckless. They’re dragging out time, and so am I."

The Divine Domain vanished, and the area where Zheng Yichen was had been completely ravaged by explosions. The flagship looked as if it had been nibbled on, and where it had been nibbled, a substantial light membrane could be seen, blocking the fierce explosions and turning them into directed attacks.

"BOSS, I can now influence their energy hub."

After dismissing the Divine Domain, Lilith’s figure appeared.

"Good, next try to take over all the surveillance here. I want them all to die here."

"Understood."

Under the somewhat desperate gaze of the quadruped extraterrestrials, a crimson figure retreated a distance in space and then suddenly disappeared...

"Didn’t forcefully invade? Did the explosion just now injure him, and he ran away??" In the command center, the previously despairing quadruped extraterrestrials were full of astonishment as they mobilized those still undeveloped Civilization Destroyers.

They concentrated and launched a suicide attack on Zheng Yichen, grieved to death by the loss of decades of resources.

Without those, they couldn’t produce new Civilization Destroyers. The resources carried by the fleet weren’t sufficient to make new ones. Even if they forcefully made them, those would be inferior versions, lacking the strength to deal with Zheng Yichen.

"No, the enemy didn’t run. He reentered our flagship’s interior, and the energy hub system has been invaded. He’s attempting to block off our flagship’s energy!" The technician, sweating profusely, said as the tiny limbs on his arms spread out, busy like ten people, quickly trying to regain control of the energy hub system.

But the enemy’s invasion wasn’t just about gaining control. It also involved destructive attacks.

Simply put, the enemy wasn’t planning to take prisoners. It didn’t matter if they died; having bodies left was enough.

Of course, capturing someone alive would be better.

On their side, they needed to protect the energy hub’s operating systems as much as possible. The flagship was their life, and they couldn’t ignore the life or death of the energy hub, making their many arms also appear frantic in this situation.
