After a long journey, Han Lang finally arrived at the headquarters of the Alliance, the Eternal Star System.
The Eternal Star System was in the center of the 12 permanent members' jurisdiction. From the capital of any of the 12 countries, one could reach the Eternal Star System within three days. The transportation was convenient.
Of course, this convenience was only relative to the 12 countries. If the representatives of the other countries wanted to come to the headquarters, they would still need to travel for a long time. As the 12 countries occupied one-third of the entire Alliance's territory, 50% of the population, and 60% of the military strength, they did not care about whether it was convenient for the smaller countries.
Other than that, there were also Alliance branches in the 12 countries' capitals and some other places. However, those branches were only for some kind of ceremony or to commemorate a certain war. Their status was far less important than the Eternal Star System.
Han Lang was outside the highest conference room on the 1,400th floor of the headquarters, waiting to be summoned.
There were a total of ten similar buildings, representing the more than 14,000 member countries of the Alliance.
With such a tall building, one could not see the land from the floor-to-ceiling windows. One could see space with the clouds beneath their feet.
Han Lang looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze. When he arrived here, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness. Many people had died for the Milky Way and the Alliance, but the Eternal Star System was still peaceful.
When passing through the security check, Han Lang could not help but think that if he was a Dark Apostle, such a security check would not be able to stop an Apostle.
As the Dark Apostles were lifeforms with DNA recombination, they could easily change their DNA structure and disguise themselves as anyone in this building.
In the face of powerful enemies, technology was losing its original effect. The Alliance's security check system had been learned from the prehistoric civilization, and the true inventor of this technology was about to return.
This was simply a war between students and teachers. Human civilization had learned from the prehistoric civilization, but they had never surpassed them. If a war broke out between teachers and students, humans would definitely be beaten badly and would not be able to resist.
While he was deep in thought, Han Lang was summoned. He strode into the conference room and saw many familiar faces, such as the Prime Minister of the Ganges Republic, Mord, who had always hated him, the top person in the Zither Empire's military, Pastia, Doyle from the Radiant Star, Owen from Delphi, and so on.
There were more than 12 people. Some countries' military representatives and secret police representatives had also participated in this meeting.
Han Lang did not appear very nervous when facing these important figures. Firstly, Han Lang knew some of them from the past. Secondly, Han Lang had experienced life and death several times. People who had faced death directly would naturally have an additional indifferent temperament compared to ordinary people.
The meeting was presided over by the highest commander of the A43 ruins operation, Persti. He let Han Lang stand at the front and talk about the expedition team's experience.
Han Lang was neither servile nor overbearing. He did not exaggerate either as he recounted the cruel expedition in detail.
During the entire process, no one spoke, and no one asked any questions. Although they had already seen the video report that Han Lang had sent back, when Han Lang personally talked about his encounter in the ruins, they were once again attracted to him. They listened quietly.
After reporting, Han Lang took out the Dark Apostle's corpse from the Moon Scar and placed it on the counter.
"Everyone, these are the corpses of the Dark Apostles. Based on my personal experience, I estimate that they have at least 8-star combat strength. At the same time, they are similar to human superpower warriors and possess abilities."
"I don't know if all the apostles have the same level, but I think that there is no reason for the apostles that are still alive to be weaker than this apostle. After all, they were all created using the same method."
"Why doesn't this apostle have a head?" An important figure from the military asked.
"That's because his head was smashed," Han Lang replied.
"Oh, since you can smash the head of the Dark Apostle, then even if these apostles really exist, it's not a big deal."
Hahaha ~
Laughter came from the meeting room. Everyone knew that Han Lang's level was not high. The fact that he could kill an apostle meant that the apostle was actually not strong.
Han Lang bit his lips and said in a deep voice, "Killing the apostle was not my own achievement. At that time, Bai Wan 'er burned her brain domain and risked her life to capture him. I used the [Extinction] Domain to deprive him of his superpower. With the help of the two wargod powerhouses, Lasser and Riley, we finally managed to kill him."
"In order to kill the apostle, Bai Wan 'er sacrificed herself."
"That doesn't mean anything. By the way, what level are you now?"
"I haven't tested myself in a long time, but I'm sure that I'm within the range of five stars," Han Lang replied.
"That is to say, if the apostle really exists, we only need to send out two wargod powerhouses, one quasi wargod, and you, a five star warrior. All in all, the battle strength of the Dark Apostle is still very weak."
Han Lang was a little angry. He said in a hoarse voice, "The Dark Apostle's superpower was deprived. He is a terrifying spatial superpower user. If we don't deprive him of his superpower, we won't be able to defeat him!"
The high ranking military official started counting with his fingers, "Alright, alright. Even if it is as you said, the apostle has the cultivation of eight stars. This level is indeed terrifying, but that is only relative to ordinary people."
"However, as long as we send out ten wargod powerhouses, we will definitely be able to kill the apostle. I believe that the casualty rate can be controlled at thirty percent. In other words, three out of ten wargod powerhouses will die."
"The number of Dark Apostles is ninety-nine. For every apostle we kill, we will lose three wargod powerhouses. In the worst case scenario, we will lose less than three hundred wargod powerhouses."
"Don't forget, since we can send out ten wargods to deal with an apostle, we can also send out twenty, fifty, or a hundred wargods to eliminate him!"
"No matter how we calculate, ninety-nine apostles will not be able to shake our enormous alliance! Their numbers are too few, completely insufficient. There are trillions of civilians living in the Milky Way Galaxy, trillions of soldiers. As long as each of them spit, they will be able to drown these apostles. "
"The life of a warrior is not a cold number!" Han Lang was furious. He suppressed his voice and said, "The most terrifying thing about the Dark Apostles is that they are genetically synthesized lifeforms. Their DNA structure can be changed!"
"As long as they are willing, they can disguise themselves as anyone here. Their destructive power will far surpass that of fighting!"
Mo De shook his head, "Ignorant! DNA modification can only imitate a person's appearance, but it cannot imitate a person's behavior and language. There will always be flaws. Besides, with the current political structure of the various countries, even if the Dark Apostles can disguise themselves as the leader, what use is there? The leader still has the prime minister, the parliament, and the military commander by his side. "
"Your so-called Dark Apostles subverting the alliance is just your personal speculation! If you want to speak here, you need to bring out your evidence! Don't talk about speculations! "
Han Lang felt a great sorrow. After sacrificing so many people, Han Lang finally sent the news of the Dark Apostles to the alliance, but the alliance's reaction was actually so cold.
Han Lang thought of the warriors who died on the battlefield and felt that their sacrifice was not worth it.
Perhaps it was as Yuan Yuan said, warriors and politicians were two completely different types of people.
Han Lang took out Ye Guhong's video. Although the politicians were shocked at the destruction of the starry sky after the great cosmic war, it still could not prove that it was done by the prehistoric civilization.
After the report, Han Lang was invited out of the conference room. He sat outside alone and looked at the deep and unpredictable starry sky, filled with pessimism about the future.
A few hours later, the meeting of the politicians ended. Han Lang was invited to the lounge by Pastiel for tea. There were only the two of them, and Pastiel also had a helpless expression on his face.
"The alliance's final decision is that your report, the corpse of the Black Apostles, and the video of the Guye family in Maple Forest cannot be used as evidence that the Milky Way Galaxy is facing a major crisis. The alliance will not increase the level of defense, nor will they actively prepare for war.
"In addition, the alliance has also issued a gag order. Everything regarding the A43 ruins, the Black Apostles, and the prehistoric civilization is not to be disclosed to anyone else," Pastiel said in a deep voice.
Han Lang nodded and did not say anything. He had already expected this outcome.
Forcing a smile, Pastiel said, "However, the meeting is not without a positive effect. Due to your efforts, the alliance has decided to set up a secret investigation team on the Dark Apostles. In addition, the various empires will strengthen their reconnaissance forces and send more reconnaissance fleets outside the Milky Way Galaxy as a precautionary measure."
Han Lang shook his head and said indifferently, "This is far from enough. When I first saw the Dark Apostles, I understood that they only want destruction."
"Have you heard of the law of the jungle?"
"I have."
"Then you must understand that the vast and boundless universe is like a jungle filled with darkness. In this jungle, we humans are just a member of the huge biological system. We have defeated the Wizard Race, eliminated the Arch-Race, and killed many existences that are weaker than humans."
"But just this alone does not prove that humans have the right to survive in this jungle. One day, we will encounter opponents that are stronger than us."
Pastiel frowned slightly, "You mean that humans need to become stronger in order to survive in this jungle?"
Han Lang laughed, "No, just being strong doesn't guarantee the survival of any creature. Even a ferocious tiger can die from the bite of a weak ant because ants can spread bacteria that tigers can't resist."
Pastiel asked again, "Then what you mean is that we humans need to learn from those tenacious bacteria?"
Han Lang said, "Under normal circumstances, most types of bacteria can only survive for a few hours before dying."
"Actually, what I want to say is not what we humans should become. Humans are humans. We have our strengths and weaknesses. The only way we can survive longer is to always be vigilant and always be in awe of the unknown jungle."
"The law of survival has long been proven. It is not the strongest creatures that survive to the end, but those that are always vigilant of their surroundings. Whenever danger comes, they will be the first to know and adjust their survival strategy. This is the highest law of survival in the dark jungle."
Phew ~
Pastiel let out a long breath. "Han Lang, what you said makes sense. I think you are that existence that is always vigilant of the future. That is why you were able to walk out of the ruins alive."
"The Alliance needs a talent like you. I will suggest to the Alliance that you be the leader of the newly established Alliance investigation team. I will fully support you and even use the power of the Qin Shang Empire's military and some other people with real power to support you!"
"It's too late." Han Lang shook his head, stood up, and said, "I already understand. This rotten Galaxy Alliance will definitely perish. If it doesn't die from external threats, it will die from internal conflicts."
"Where are you going? Do you want to consider joining the secret investigation team? "Pastiel asked Han Lang to stay.
Han Lang said coldly, "There's no need to consider it. When Ma Jingkong and the others died in battle, I was very touched. They loved the Galaxy so much, so I decided to do my best for the Alliance. That is why I crossed three star fields and rushed back to the Alliance at all costs."
"But what did the Alliance do? The lives of their soldiers are just numbers that can be calculated, cold numbers! The impending danger is actually not as important as surviving right now! "
"I've had enough of all this! From this moment onwards, I will only live for my hometown! I will only live for my people on Earth! That damned Galaxy Alliance. If it wants to perish, then let it perish! "
"Now that the arrest warrant has been lifted, I want to go home!"
