"Casca, I have to say that you have made several serious mistakes." Doug said seriously, "When I founded the Imperial Star Federation, I emphasized again and again that aliens living on the Imperial Star must report to the Federation as soon as possible."
"I don't know why you didn't report it. It was because you didn't report it to me that I knew about this spaceship, which opened the source of the disaster and brought disaster to the entire planet." Doug pointed at the origin of the human race and said with a hint of blame, "If you had taken the initiative to explain the origin of the human race, I would never have opened this spaceship without permission..."
"I thought you wouldn't find the spaceship." Casca said embarrassedly, "The Imperial Master told me that if you want to hide something, don't let anyone know."
"This is just one of your mistakes." Doug sighed and continued, "The second mistake is that after the origin of your race was exposed, you shouldn't have chosen to cover up your mistake and pin your hopes of survival on the fact that the Thorn Protoss didn't receive the signal."
"What is the trick?" Casca asked.
"A man covered his ears and went to steal a bell. He thought that if he couldn't hear the bell, no one else would be able to hear it either," said Doug.
Casca's face suddenly turned red. Although she didn't want to admit it, what Doug said made a lot of sense.
What's the difference between what he's doing now and closing his eyes and pretending that the Thorns won't attack? "Casca, a true warrior dares to face any powerful enemy." Doug looked at Casca with an extremely firm gaze, "We must be prepared to fight the Thorns. Your planet was destroyed by the Thorns. You don't want to see another innocent planet go the same way as you! Moreover, the disaster on the Imperial Star was caused by you. Without the human race, the more than seven billion innocent people on the Imperial Star should live happily forever..."
"It's my fault." Casca lowered his head in guilt. "My spaceship ran out of energy at the time, so I had no choice but to make an emergency landing on this planet."
"Casca, you keep saying that you are the most powerful warrior of your race, but in my opinion, you are really a coward." Douger shook his head. "The last of your people died to protect you, but you didn't have the courage to die with the Thorns. Even if you had to make an emergency landing, you chose a planet with life..."
"I..." Casca was speechless. He was not good at speaking, so how could he possibly refute Doug, who was so eloquent! "Casca, although you have made many mistakes, it is not too late now. We still have at least three months to correct them." Doug said.
"Kunan, I'll listen to you on what needs to be done." Casca raised his head again, clenched his fists, and said, "I am the one who brought disaster upon the Imperial Star. I will take responsibility for my mistakes, even if it means sacrificing my life for them."
"Casca, no matter how the disaster on the Imperial Star is caused in the future, it has already happened. It is useless to find out who is responsible. What we need to do is face it. You want to avenge your planet, and I want to protect the Imperial Star. We now have a common enemy, the Thorn Protoss."
Duger said righteously, "It is in the interests of all of us to kill the arrogant Thorn Protoss."
"Konen, I also want to kill the Thorns, but they are too powerful." Casca shook his head in despair. "The human race is too important to the Thorns. They will at least send a fleet. Compared to the Thorns, the Imperial Star is just a toddler."
"We have it." Doug pointed to the origin of the human race again.
"Human origin?" Casca was stunned. "What do you want to do with it?"
"Use its full power." Douger's eyes sparkled. "Casca, if the human race can create one Thorn Protoss, it can create a second one."
"No." Casca refused reflexively, "If we take the human race out, the Thorn Protoss will definitely find us."
"Casca, don't gamble on your luck," Doug said. "Instead of being unsure whether the Thorn Protoss will arrive, it is better to use the human race openly and make this matter a fait accompli. Cut off all your retreat routes and survive from the brink of death."
"What do you mean?" Casca asked.
"When the fate of not fighting is death, everyone will fight to the death." Doug said, "Casca, when the Thorns attacked your planet, did some people on your planet want to surrender, some want to escape, some want to fight, and some want to make peace?"
"..." Casca widened his eyes again, "How do you know?"
"It is because of all the messy thoughts that you cannot work together to fight against the Thorns, and you are defeated." Doug sighed, "If everyone on your planet knew that the Thorns would kill everyone in your race, would everyone take up arms to fight?
If you had held on to your determination to bite off a piece of their flesh even if you couldn't defeat the Thorns, maybe your race wouldn't have been destroyed."
Casca's high spirits suddenly turned into depression, and there was pain in his eyes: "You're right, when the Thorns attacked, the whole planet was in chaos."
He shook his head, drove away the pain, and regained his composure. "Kunan, how do you plan to use the human race source? Removing the isolation shield of the human race source may allow more people to mutate genetically, but three months is far from enough for these mutants to grow. To defeat the Thorn Protoss, we need stronger weapons and fleets..."
"Casca, does your spaceship have the function of external broadcasting?" Doug asked.
"Yes, this is a necessary function for every spaceship. Once it is trapped in the universe, it can send coordinates to the outside world for help." Casca said.
"We will broadcast to everyone that the human race source of the Thorn Protoss is on the Imperial Star. With the human race source, we can create another Protoss." Doug smiled and said, "As long as we arrive before the Thorn Protoss, we can give him the human race source."
Such a familiar tactic.
Zhan Sini thought of Selma's story of paying a large sum of money to have a child, and sighed silently. The fox's tail was finally revealed.
"You want to send the human race source out, it's a divine weapon!" Casca widened his eyes.
"What else?" Doug laughed, "Do you really intend to defeat the Thorns with the three of us? It may be brave to do so, but it will be meaningless except for meaningless sacrifice. In the end, the source of humanity will return to the Thorns, and people in the universe may not even know that the Thorns have been here."
"..." Casca fell silent.
"Casca, my goal is to protect the Imperial Star. It will be enough as long as I achieve this goal in the end." Doug said, "Do you know why no one will help you deal with the Thorn Protoss? Because helping you will only bring a lot of trouble and no benefits.
It's different if we use human race as bait. Civilizations that are qualified to fight against the Thorn Protoss, or enemies of the Thorn Protoss, will all be alerted. You are using the wrong method."
"What if we give the human race source to another civilization?" Casca had long been accustomed to Douger pointing out the mistakes he made, and frowned, "Our actions will still anger the Thorn Protoss. They won't be able to get the human race source, so they will vent their anger on us, and the people of the Imperial Star will still not be able to survive."
"Casca, we can use the human race to let people from other planets take us away from this planet." said Zhan Sini.
“Don’t care about the people of the Imperial Star?” Casca said, “This is no different from when we fled! Besides, they may not necessarily accept us…”
"No, we won't leave here." Doug shook his head and said, "We can send a broadcast in a month and tell everyone that the Thorn Protoss will arrive at the Imperial Star in three months."
Zhan Sini's eyes suddenly widened.
"What do you mean?" Casca was confused.
"What this means is that we need to make sure that the fleets of other civilizations and the fleet of the Thorn civilization arrive at the Imperial Star at the same time or at a similar time." Doug said with a smile, "As long as we can make them collide with each other, we will naturally have an ally."
"How is it possible?" Casca frowned, "How could we have allies?"
"Idiot." Zhan Sini said, "Because the broadcast we sent will also be received by the Thorn Protoss. At this time, all the people who come to the Imperial Star are coming for the human race, so the Thorn Protoss will naturally regard them as enemies."
"..." Casca's eyes widened, his face full of shock. "My God, this plan is simply too perfect. I once thought that it would take only the three of us to fight against the Thorn Protoss!"
…
The star map was ready and the space nodes were easy to calculate. It didn't take long for Doug to develop a perfect bait plan.
In this plan, as long as two or three civilizations take the bait, Duger will be able to compete with the Thorn Protoss.
Doug is best at blitzkrieg, and second only to creating chaos and then winning in the chaos.
Keyword confusion is tailor-made for him.
"Conan, you are a wise man. If only you were on our planet at that time." Casca looked at Douger with admiration and said sadly, "In that case, our planet might not have been destroyed."
"Casca, we will eventually defeat the Thorn Protoss and avenge your people." Doug patted Casca on the shoulder. "Come, my friend, let us see what the human race is."
"Okay." Casca agreed readily. At this time, he no longer had any guard against Doug.
Casca pressed a few buttons, and the floating light holding the human race source box disappeared. The human race source slowly fell on the table.
Then, he began to carefully turn the runes on the box...
Sure enough, there is a trap! Doug complained in his heart, if he had tried to rob it just now, who knows what kind of accident would have happened!
How could Casca willingly give him the human race source like this...
Exchanging sincerity for sincerity is indeed the only way to make friends.
"The human race source will randomly awaken a superpower in a person." Casca said as he opened the box, "But no one can decide the strength of this ability. Members of the Thorn Protoss will return to their home planet after adulthood and touch the human race source to gain this ability. The burning rays in my eyes awakened after I got the human race source..."
"The people on the Imperial Star did not touch the origin of the human race, but still gained super powers." Doug said.
"It's OK not to touch, but the time of awakening will be too random." Casca explained, "This is why mutants appear one after another on the Imperial Star every 30 years. If we use the method of touching, the time of awakening will be unified..."
"Can everyone awaken?" Doug asked.
"Not everyone." Casca shook his head. "There are many ordinary people in the Thorn Protoss. Awakening may depend on luck! After we stole the human race source and escaped, there were still more than a hundred people alive, but only one tenth of the more than a hundred people awakened their superpowers."
"Only a one in ten chance?!" Zhan Sini was a little disappointed.
"One tenth is not low." Doug said, "There are seven billion people on the Imperial Star. If one tenth of them awaken, that would be seven hundred million people. Right now, there are more than ten million mutants on the Imperial Star."
At this time.
The box was opened.
The true face of the origin of the human race appeared before the three people.
It was a light green sphere, emitting a soft light. There was faint mist flowing inside the sphere, giving people a vibrant feeling.
"So beautiful." Zhan Si Ni exclaimed, then turned to ask Doug, "Who's going first?"
"Ladies first." Doug smiled and gestured, "Casca, is the only function of the human race source to awaken superpowers?"
"I don't know about that. I'm not from the Thorn Protoss." Casca shook his head. "After we stole the human race source, we kept it locked in a box and never opened it."
Zhan Sini closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, prayed for a moment, and then reverently touched the source of the human race.
Doug watched her movements intently.
The moment her palm touched the human race source, Doug vaguely saw that a wisp of mist penetrated the barrier of the human race source and merged into the palm of Zhan Sini.
Zhan Si Ni obviously also felt the change, and she opened her eyes at the first moment: "Ko Nan, I feel something entering my body...ah!"
A scream of pain interrupted her words.
Immediately following.
She clenched her fists tightly, and her face became distorted with pain.
"Is this normal?" Doug asked.
"That should be it. When I awakened the scorching rays, my eyes felt like they were thrown into molten iron." Casca said, "This is the awakening process, and everyone must endure it..."
The words haven't finished yet.
Zhan Sini has regained her composure and she stretched out her hand.
Then, under the gaze of Doug and others, her entire palm gradually became transparent and disappeared, and then her arm also disappeared.
"Invisible?" Seeing this scene, Casca smiled and said, "Jansini, you are lucky."
"It's not invisibility." Doug shook his head. His perception was very strong, but in his perception, he could not feel the disappearing arm of Jane Sini at all, as if it had never existed.
"That's right, it's not invisibility, it's nothingness." Zhan Sini changed her arm back and smiled, "I can make my body become nothingness. In this state, no one can hurt me, but I also can't attack. This skill is suitable for being an assassin, just like having the skill of stealth..."
Hiding keywords?
Doug smiled at Zhan Sini and decisively reached out to grab the source of human race...
