CHAPTER 508: CHAPTER 507: SEIZING THE INITIATIVE

Following the methods of the Krypton Gold Civilization, the Wandering Alliance conducted observations.

Indeed, they discovered that if one were to observe based on material abundance, one would find a conspicuous void left in the regions the Wandering Alliance passed through.

In this void of star space, all the matter and nebulae originally preserved had been plundered by the Wandering Alliance during their passage; although after the Wandering Alliance had left, matter from farther regions started moving towards the void, the speed of replenishment was slow. Therefore, observing at this moment, one could very clearly identify a blank strip in the star space.

This blank strip of star space can be said to be a true vacuum, and also the movement trajectory of the Wandering Alliance.

If an Advanced Civilization were to follow this unique "movement path," they would easily locate the Wandering Alliance, something the latter had never considered before.

To put it simply, the material abundance within the Cosmic Zone is like a layer of dense fog. If someone were to absorb this fog, a relative clear strip devoid of fog would naturally be left behind. Although the fog would spontaneously replenish the vacuum, if the space requiring replenishment is too large, it would naturally take some time for it to be completely filled. Thus, this strip without fog is equivalent to the footsteps left by the passerby, to a certain extent exposing the passerby’s information.

The reason the Wandering Alliance did not consider this is primarily because the environmental shifts were too drastic.

After all, in the Universe of the Star Zone, due to the crisis of the wave backflow, matter was almost completely plundered, eliminating the need to consider leaving behind any "path". So when they entered the Universe of the Cosmic Zone, which was rich in matter, the Wandering Alliance did not immediately recall these details.

Moreover, Lu Chen and the Wandering Alliance were extremely curious.

Why was the matter in the Sky Zone and Star Zone plundered to nothing, yet the material abundance in the Cosmic Zone remained so high, as if untouched by plunderers?

"According to what you said, our Wandering Alliance indeed observed unique trajectories, but how is that related to barbarism? You are clearly twisting facts to suit your narrative, openly demeaning us. I advise you to watch your words, do not misconstrue our extended goodwill as weakness; this will only make you appear as the barbaric civilization!"

Facing the deliberate intimidation by the Krypton Gold Civilization, Lu Chen, as the leader of the Wandering Alliance, forcefully responded.

The Krypton Gold Civilization angrily retorted: "You’re inverting right and wrong! Not only did you occupy our experimental samples, but as soon as you entered the Cosmic Zone Universe, you began to plunder on a grand scale. Which of these actions isn’t emblematic of barbarism? And yet you have the audacity to accuse us of barbarism? That’s utterly ignorant and utterly ridiculous!"

Lu Chen calmly stated: "If you continue to treat the Metal Civilization merely as experimental samples, they’ll only grow more distant from you. You disregard their will and forcefully tried to take them, proclaiming to eliminate anyone who interferes. Is this not an act of barbarism, powered by your own strength? Have I slandered you?

"As for the absorption of matter from the star space, it was born out of the necessity for survival. If you insist on labeling actions related to survival as barbaric, then aren’t all your actions for survival also barbaric? Your double standards are a bit too much, aren’t they? Furthermore, I am indeed very curious about one thing—please enlighten us, why is the material abundance in the Cosmic Zone so high?"

After receiving Lu Chen’s message, the Krypton Gold Civilization truly realized.

They had indeed been treating experimental samples as mere tools all along, which was fatal.

If the roles were reversed and someone treated them as tools to be taken at will, they would certainly not be happy either.

And considering Lu Chen’s words, he seemed to regard the Metal Civilization as a companion, no wonder the Metal Civilization was willing to stay with the Wandering Alliance.

Not until this moment did the Krypton Gold Civilization believe that the Wandering Alliance had not coerced the Metal Civilization, and it appeared that the latter had indeed made their choice willingly.

However, although the Krypton Gold Civilization understood this, their stance was something that could not be changed. They had to take the experimental samples this time, at any cost. If the samples themselves were unwilling, they would rather destroy the samples than let another Alien Civilization benefit from them.

Hence, the Krypton Gold Civilization coldly said: "Arguing over some meaningless topics is just wasting time and won’t change the final outcome. We offer you one last chance: come with us, and we can give you everything you desire, even equal rights. But if you refuse, then we have no choice but to heartlessly annihilate you. We urge you to carefully consider and give us your reply!"

Lu Chen assertively stated: "There’s no need to intimidate the Metal Civilization. Since they have made their decision, then please respect it. If you do not know how to respect our companions, even if you don’t make a move, we will certainly seek justice from you!"

On the other hand, as the protagonist of the matter.

The Metal Civilization, after consulting with the members of the Wandering Alliance and feeling their supportive strength, confidently refused the Krypton Gold Civilization.

And their manner of refusal was very special.

Not through sending messages, but directly with gunfire.

Because negotiations had come to this point, becoming exceedingly straightforward and the stances of both sides virtually set, leaving no room for reconciliation. Given that the refusal of the Metal Civilization was bound to trigger a war, instead of letting the opponent take the initiative, the Wandering Alliance might as well strike first and seize the strategic high ground of the war. Therefore, once a decision was made within the Wandering Alliance, the Metal Civilization was appointed as the vanguard of the war, initiating the attack on the Krypton Gold Civilization.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Metal Civilization Planet activated its weapons system and launched an Information Torrent at the Battle Star stronghold of the Krypton Gold Civilization.

The Information Torrent is a high-energy mode of the Information Pulse, with substantially greater attack power and range, very suitable for such large-scale bombardment tactics.

The Information Torrent, as a high-tech Information Weapon, uses Information Particle Groups as the pulse for attacks. While the power of this weapon is not the strongest among Information Weapons, it is notably enduring and expansive in range. Furthermore, as the mode escalates, the Energy Level of the Information Pulse exponentially rises. At the low-energy [Information Pulse], it’s indeed like a lighthouse pulsar in the Universe, emitting fixed pulse attacks; once the mid-energy [Information Wave] is activated, its level matches its namesake, unleashing attacks like surging tidal waves; when the high-energy [Information Torrent] is used, the magnitude of the emission is truly akin to cataclysmic collapses and raging torrents of the starry rivers, utterly terrifying!

One could see in the plane of the Information Sea, the Information Torrent was like an apocalyptic torrent, turning the relatively calm world of the Information Sea World upside down!
