Chapter 1330 - Public Announcement and Response (2/2)
Now that the problem of the Beyond Grade As was basically solved, many of the Revivors had achieved their goal, and their mentality was inevitably going to shift toward being independent.
Han Xiao took in everyone’s expression and said, “These are the terms of the deal. If we don’t participate in the battle, the association’s independence and status will be nullified.” Dillon snorted. “Come on. It’s not even certain if the three Universal Civilizations can win. We’ll be risking our lives to fight, but if the three Universal Civilizations lose, these agreements will still be useless. To us, it’s a bloody loss… There is clearly a method to gain something without risking our lives!” “You’re right, but there are two sides to everything. This is also an opportunity. Furthermore, we were all born from this galactic society, so this is not the time to abandon our homeland. Escaping should not be the first choice.” Han Xiao shook his head. “Alright, let’s assume that we’ve defeated the enemy. But what if the three Universal Civilizations take the opportunity to wipe us out again? Will we still have the strength to fight back then?” Dillon questioned.
“Of course, I’ve considered this. Don’t worry, we won’t be the main force fighting against the foreign enemies. The three Universal Civilizations will only suffer greater losses than us. By then, the association will still be able to retain enough strength or come out even stronger.”
Dillon snorted coldly. “It’s easy to say. I don’t care about the others, but I won’t agree. You want me to fight for the three Universal Civilizations? No way!”
Han Xiao ignored him and looked at the others. “What are your thoughts?”
Listening to the argument between the two, many Beyond Grade As had different expressions. Some were hesitant, while others remained calm.
“Black Star is right. This is a deal with risks and benefits. We’re not fighting for the three Universal Civilizations but for our homeland. At least for me, I’m already used to living here. If it’s not necessary, I don’t want to watch the galactic society be destroyed,” Kant said slowly.
Kasuyi nodded and said, “No matter what, it’s too early to discuss escaping before the battle starts. I believe that Black Star’s intention is not to fight to the death. If the situation is truly irreversible, with his style, he will not lead us down a path of no return.”
“That’s right.” Secret Master nodded expressionlessly.
Other than the Revivors, most Beyond Grade As understood Han Xiao’s actions. After all, not everyone was willing to abandon their hometown. Furthermore, as a Beyond Grade A, even in the face of a universal war, they still had the confidence to protect themselves and would not panic. Being scared away by the enemy was not within the consideration of most. Whether they could win or not would only be known after they fought.
Hearing this, Han Xiao nodded before looking at Dillon and the others. “The war has yet to break out, so you still have plenty of time to consider. The association respects the opinions of every member and will not force anyone to participate in the war… Of course, if you change your mind one day, I welcome all of you to fight alongside us.”
“Humph, even if the galactic society is gone, I will not regret my attitude today!” Dillon snorted.
Han Xiao’s expression was calm, and he was not angry. It was normal to have disagreements. He had already considered this point.
However, in his previous life, everyone in the explored universe was a soldier, so it was clear that most of them were upright. Furthermore, in his previous life, Oathkeeper had convinced many Revivors to participate in the battle at the critical moment. Clearly, it was not just because they were emotionally moved but more because the Sanctum Revival was used as a bargaining chip to move all the Beyond Grade As.
When the truth of the unlimited number to Sanctum revivals was exposed, he believed that these cold and aloof combat avoiders would come back knocking.
Han Xiao gave some instructions before announcing the end of the meeting. Everyone left with their own thoughts, except Manison.
Han Xiao looked at him and asked, “What do you have to say to me?”
Manison crossed his hands on his legs and calmly said, “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Do you want to reconsider my route?”
“What, you want to replace the three Universal Civilizations?” Han Xiao smiled.
“Can’t we?” Manison glanced at Han Xiao. “If we lose, just pretend that I didn’t say anything. If we win, this is a very good opportunity. It might be the weakest moment of the three Universal Civilizations so far, and the Virtual Mutiny Virus in our hands will come in handy.”
“You still haven’t given up. In fact, the things you want are even more exaggerated.” Han Xiao shook his head.
Manison was expressionless. “When the three Universal Civilizations recover, they will still see us as a thorn in their side. As long as they stay on our side, we won’t be able to have any true peace. Your method of checks and balances is effective, but isn’t it better to solve the threat once and for all?” “It’s too early to say that. Let’s focus on dealing with the enemies.” Han Xiao waved his hands.
To the citizens of the galactic society, this was a normal day, but on this day, the peaceful life in their eyes was easily broken by the galactic announcement issued by the three Universal Civilizations. The three Universal Civilizations announced that a powerful foreign civilization was planning to invade the galactic society. The entire universe was to enter a state of war, requesting the Flickering World and many other Star Fields to begin mass migration.
This earth-shattering news swept through every Star Field like a hurricane. All galactic residents and civil forces who saw the news could not believe their eyes, thinking that it was fake news.
However, the actions of the three Universal Civilizations proved that this was not a joke. Large batches of official fleets forcefully migrated the civilians in the various Star Fields, and the various civilizations cooperated extremely well. Spaceship after spaceship of galactic residents of different races were sent to the transport ship, heading toward the hinterlands of the explored universe.
The recently renowned Beyond Grade A Association also issued a statement, proving that the three Universal Civilizations were not lying. They would fight against the enemies together and start to recruit Supers from all over the universe.
This series of actions did not pause at all. It was as if they had been prepared for this. The tension of the impending storm swept through the entire galactic society.
There had been no related news before this, and the situation had come too suddenly. It was as if a meteor had landed on the calm surface of the sea, causing huge waves. The public opinion exploded instantly. However, one characteristic of the interstellar era was that the people were used to seeing all kinds of strange things. They were adaptable and could accept things fast enough. Although the period of long and comfortable life slowed down the reactions of many people, the majority of the galactic residents still quickly accepted the fact that a war was about to break out. They did not have time to think too much and quickly responded.
Fortunately, the conflict between the three Universal Civilizations and the Beyond Grade A Association had given many galactic residents an experience. At this moment, they were practically escaping without hesitation.
Without the forced migration of the three Universal Civilizations, most of the galactic residents left the border Star Field of their own accord, forming a huge migration wave. The public stargates were all jammed, and the fleet could extend to the end of their sights.
At the same time, the armies of the three Universal Civilizations began to move toward the periphery of the Star Field, requiring the majority of the area to start their war preparations.
In daily life, the various Star Fields were all living areas. Once a war broke out, the entire explored universe would be a strategic location in the eyes of the three Universal Civilizations. All Star Fields were war zones with different functions.
