Chapter 540 The Choice of Civilization (1)
It's just that such a long time has passed since he handed over the task of negotiation to the dimensional sage. According to Amon's description, the dimensional sage has done everything he should do, and probably also done everything he shouldn't do.
Even if it passes, it's probably too late.
So now that things have come to this, let’s eat first… no, let’s take a rest first.
After thinking the reason clearly, Oropas leaned back in his chair with a comfortable look on his face.
This is true whether it is the phantom projected by the astral projection or the real body.
“……”Amon.
After a few moments of silence, Amon hesitated to speak.
Instead, it was Agades who asked the question.
"Aren't you anxious, Orobas?"
"...Anxious? What's the hurry?" Oropas asked with narrowed eyes after stretching.
"The Dimension Sage may rely on his superior subjective initiative to cause anomalies in this covenant."
Agades spoke his mind.
"In my opinion, being too proactive may indirectly lead to the Interstellar Peace Corporation becoming hostile to us."
"Let me ask you a question." Orobas took a deep breath, sat upright, and looked at Agardes, "What is the nature of the Interstellar Peace Company?"
"Are you the follower of the guardian star god Klipper, determined to unite many worlds so that they all have the power to protect themselves?" Agades asked tentatively.
After all, according to Louis Fleming's declaration at the time, this was indeed the nature of the Interstellar Peace Corporation.
"You are right." Orobas nodded and then mentioned another question, "You seem to have forgotten one thing."
"That's the name of the Interstellar Peace Corporation."
"Name...?" Agades was stunned at first, then seemed to understand something and showed a thoughtful look.
Seeing Agades' expression, Oropas also showed a satisfied smile.
"It looks like you understand."
"Come to think of it, it makes sense. After all, you've lived for such a long time, how could you not understand what I mean?"
As he spoke, his eyes became slightly hazy, as if he remembered something.
"To this day, I still remember how bold those businessmen who pursued profits were..."
In the past, he had witnessed the madness of those businessmen in pursuit of profits, and even now, he still had some lingering fears.
"So... since it's called 'the company', what do we have to worry about?"
"It's true that the Dimension Sage has strong subjective initiative, but Louis Fleming's ability is not bad either, otherwise he wouldn't have become the founder of the Interstellar Peace Company and won the recognition of the Protector Star God Klipper."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the two of them are probably frantically competing against each other and guessing what each other is thinking."
……
While Orobasi and the other gods were chatting, and Pierpoint, the Dimension Sage and Louis Fleming were fighting fiercely, Osel also arrived at the battlefield with Qingsu...
Yes, the battlefield.
On its way to its destination, the Star Train accidentally passed by a planet that was being invaded by a higher-level civilization.
It would be fine if they, as unknown guests, didn't know about it, but since they knew and came here, they couldn't just sit back and watch.
So, the Starry Sky Train stopped on the star track, and the unknown guests also got off one after another.
On an unknown planet, the only way for lower civilizations to resist higher civilizations is to "die together", except to fight to the death.
After the dazzling light faded away, dust covered the sky and the earth. The sunlight could not penetrate the thick clouds, and life withered due to the loss of the light.
The flame of civilization can only linger under the earth.
A nameless place.
Several rays of light suddenly fell, tearing small holes in the clouds. The remaining plants greedily sucked in the light, but after a few breaths, thick clouds covered the sky again.
Those poor plants could only bow their heads unwillingly and continue to survive.
Dozens of figures walked out from the light.
"Cough cough..."
“The air here is so bad!”
A humanoid lifeform with red skin coughed a few times and frowned.
"Not only that, there is still a lot of radiation left in the air."
The butler tried to disperse some of the power of development, and then the horrible radiation rushed towards the fingertips that were not covered by the power of development.
As the radiation eroded, tiny blisters slowly appeared on the fingers...
Seeing this scene, the butler frowned and once again enveloped his whole body with the power of pioneering.
The power of development quickly eliminated the abnormal radiation, and the swelling of those dense blisters also quickly subsided.
"The concentration of these radiations has exceeded 5000msv. It is impossible for normal humans to survive under such conditions."
Having said that, he couldn't help but sigh.
"After suffering such a heavy blow, the life forms on this planet may have completely died."
"We're late."
At this moment, the train pilot Kapi Baba beside the butler spoke to the butler in the language of the capybara tribe:
"No, I'm not completely late!"
"There are still people alive, but there are very few of them."
"Oh?" After hearing Kapi Baba's words, the butler immediately perked up and asked in a serious tone:
"Excuse me, sir, how do we find the remaining intelligent species?"
Kapi Baba stretched out his little paw and pointed at the ground, then looked at the housekeeper meaningfully.
“You mean…” The butler was stunned at first, thinking that Kapi Baba was playing some hellish joke, but then he understood what the other party meant.
"I understand. The remaining intelligent species hid underground in advance."
"Although radiation can cause great harm to organic life forms, especially humanoid life forms, it does not mean that special methods cannot be used to isolate and defend against them."
"So long before the radiation covered the entire planet, the intelligent species had already built a doomsday shelter to preserve the remaining fire."
After hearing the butler's words, Kapi Baba nodded silently.
After confirming that the information was correct, the butler translated the words into a language that the unknown guests present could understand.
"In that case, let's quickly go find the sparks of those civilizations."
Said the red-skinned humanoid who spoke first.
His name, according to the common translation among the anonymous visitors, is Kashgar.
In the language of his people, "Kashgar" means "the most powerful fruit of wisdom."
This clan was born from a "Tree of Wisdom", and its original form was a fruit.
After growing day by day, when the fruit ripens and falls to the ground, it turns into a "person".
As the leader of the tribe, every time Kashi looked up at the sky, he couldn't help but have the idea of exploring the universe.
By chance one day, he encountered such an opportunity and successfully boarded the Starry Sky Train with the help of an old man. He inherited the old man's will and became an unknown passenger on the train.
