Chapter 448: Chapter 264: Just a Delusion_2
He then ordered the humans, who were already prepared, to collect the spoils with all their might.
This was because the choice of the Es People exceeded his expectations, but just as he said, once the power here is fully received, then human civilization will have the strength to independently target other civilizations.
And what can these representatives of various civilizations, stationed in Gus Land, do?
They can do nothing.
By the time their information is passed back, everything will already be over.
So Shen Shi doesn’t need to say much to them; being forceful will suffice!
At this point, the threat of the Pirate Alliance possessing the Holy Land finally truly emerged within the Mude System!
"Speed up!" Shen Shi ordered again, even urgently summoning most of the people with personal terminals from the Holy Land from the Mother Star, even some high-ranking councilors, at this moment, had to rush to the front line!
Clearly, the representatives of other civilizations had no intention of simply acquiescing.
As the Pirate Alliance acted, at a moment when the encirclement covenant had almost been contacted, some powerful civilizations even turned their guns towards the Pirate Alliance!
In a short time, indeed some human warships were destroyed, and many sacrificed.
However, the residual forces of the Es Civilization soon joined in.
This time, they stood on the side of the humans!
"Clearly, we are the culprits who broke them, yet these people prefer to help us at this time rather than trust their past ’allies’." Shen Shi observed this scene without sorrow or joy, "This is interstellar. We used to hate this cold, realistic interest, but when we started to become strong, I found this realism couldn’t be more wonderful."
This seems to be Shen Shi’s reflection, but it also signifies a great turning point.
Because from this moment on, human civilization is no longer a struggling underdog in the cold reality of the interstellar, rather they have become the beneficiaries of this cold reality!
This is not a story where the dragon slayer eventually becomes the dragon, but a legend where the weak eventually grow strong!
In the next decade or so, Shen Shi kept an eye on the battlefield that showed hardly any deviation, his gaze fixed only on the immense benefits.
Warship production lines, device production lines, complete production chains, elite scientists, various advanced technologies...
The Es Civilization is indeed beginning to prepare for migration, and most have already migrated, but even the things left behind are unimaginable treasures for human civilization at this moment.
It can be said that although human civilization’s level is still just B4, its true strength is enough to confront B6 or even B7-level civilizations head-on!
However, this premise is that these collected Es People cooperate.
The factories belong to them, the researchers are theirs, and even the various technologies need them to decode; otherwise, humans probably wouldn’t even understand what they’re seeing.
The Es People’s choice was correct, although humans were the guides of this action and the culprits of occupying their Mother Star region, theoretically harboring deep vendettas, they can only safeguard more benefits in the hands of humans. Faced with benefits, the so-called hatred is insignificant.
"Have that Emperor Ma’Er of the Es Civilization come see me." Shen Shi ordered at the end of the battle.
The Es Civilization is an imperial system, the Emperor is the supreme ruler of this civilization, but they have not just one emperor, but more than twenty. Usually, all emperors stay in their own nations thinking about their own country’s interests, but at crucial times, they will also maintain high unity, combining all forces.
This is actually similar to the parliamentary system of human civilization.
But the difference is that most human civilization’s councilors are only responsible for one area, while these emperors are responsible for everything within their empire’s domain.
However, the core is quite similar.
All use such means to maintain the high unity of the entire civilization and reasonable internal competition.
This Emperor Ma’Er is the last remaining emperor here, and also the one who made the decisive decision to surrender to the Pirate Alliance and human civilization at the crucial moment.
Speaking of which, human civilization has to thank him, otherwise, they couldn’t have obtained this far exceeding the original expected benefits.
Just that, in the cold interstellar society, there is no existence of feelings.
So when Shen Shi met this once exceedingly glorious Emperor of Es Civilization, he had no reaction, even though he knows this Emperor could once destroy human civilization completely with a mere flick of his finger.
"The defeated king greets the great Venerable." Ma’Er showed not a bit of the regal dignity belonging to an emperor, he wore simple human clothes, even knelt on one knee in front of Shen Shi following the human civilization’s customs.
Shen Shi did not speak.
He sized up the other.
Visually, the Es People are very similar to humans, even in height. The only difference is perhaps their skin is light blue with star-like patterns dotting the surface.
These patterns are not natural but carved later.
According to Es People’s customs, the higher the density of the patterns, the higher the status.
Like the one in front of him, his patterns were like the vast Star Sea, dense, fluctuating, even shining with mysterious and profound light.
This represents his supreme imperial status.
Even though there are more than twenty of such status Es People, they are equally noble.
Additionally, his power is similarly strong.
Shen Shi could clearly feel the intentionally displayed boundless Primordial Energy, coupled with the unique Primordial Energy Device. Even if a Master of Primordial Energy stood before him, he would probably be thoroughly controlled in an instant, turning from consciousness to memory to emotions, all completely into a puppet in another’s hands.
This is the ruler of a B9-level civilization!
It could even be said to be stronger than Shen Shi originally expected.
Yet, at this moment, the other is kneeling before him, and he looks down from above.
"Stand up." Shen Shi said calmly.
Ma’Er was about to say something, but in the next moment, he found himself already standing.
Although there were no changes on the surface, Shen Shi could clearly sense the turbulent waves in Ma’Er’s consciousness world.
Truth be told, Ma’Er had accepted his identity as a captive but didn’t completely give up on his dignity, just hiding it temporarily due to his belief in eventually gaining freedom and regaining everything lost.
——That’s also why he chose to surrender to humans.
Based on intelligence judgment, it seems there exists a B4-level civilization behind the Pirate Alliance, not strong in power but potentially holding a powerful relic. This relic provides the ability to traverse unknown space with Traceless Transition, which is the fundamental cause of their Mother Star region’s fall.
Aside from that, this civilization is unremarkable.
Surrendering to them not only receives emphasis but might also offer a chance to turn the tables, further seeking to master that powerful relic.
Even if it can’t be done, as long as time is given for the main force to recover, there’s plenty of opportunities to reclaim everything from this weak civilization.
It was supposed to be like this.
But now, what did he see?
The other could invade his mind silently, controlling his actions?
At this moment, Ma’Er even felt somewhat dazed and lost.
He naturally understood what this meant, it meant the other could easily control all Es People’s will, naturally able to control all Es People, the so-called asking the main force for help, from the start, was nothing but a delusion, a joke!
