Planet Finn, Beyond Grade A Association headquarters.
"… The few people I'm introducing are the new members of the association this time. Everyone will be on the same side from now on."
In the venue, Han Xiao introduced this batch of rookies to everyone with a smile on his face. They were Joey and the other reclusive people, as well as the new batch of Holy Covenant members.
After Manison's vault was destroyed by the three Universal Civilizations, he quickly arranged for the time for them to join the association. Today was the day of the welcoming meeting.
Hearing Han Xiao's introduction, the Beyond Grade As present sized up this batch of rookies. They nodded slightly with surprise in their eyes.
Although everyone already knew about the existence of the Sanctum Revival, they were still amazed when they saw this batch of revivors again.
Furthermore, not only were there revivors this time, Black Star had also attracted a few unfamiliar reclusive people to join the association, strengthening the association's reputation. In their eyes, this was undoubtedly Black Star's counterattack against the three Universal Civilizations' ban. Everyone could not help but feel excited.
At the same time, this basically proved that Black Star could use the Sanctum Revival more than once. This was what most people were concerned about and secretly rejoiced.
"Since you've joined the association, you're all family. Please take a seat," Kasuyi said with a smile.
Joey and the others sighed and helplessly went to their seats. Although they had some social phobia, they still braced themselves to socialize with the other Beyond Grade As and get to know each other.
As for the members of the Holy Covenant, they looked at each other and did not reveal anything. They chatted as if they were meeting for the first time.
Everyone chatted with the rookies for a while, and the atmosphere was harmonious like a big family.
Han Xiao waited for a while, and seeing that everyone had gotten to know each other, he smiled and said, "Alright, everyone has gotten to know each other. Actually, other than welcoming the new members, there's another matter that needs to be dealt with today."
Hearing this, the room fell silent. Everyone turned their heads and focused their eyes on Han Xiao, waiting for the president to continue.
Seeing this, Han Xiao stopped smiling and slowly said, "Don't worry.
"Not long ago, the three Universal Civilizations worked together to hack into the Mecha Empire's database and succeeded. This matter is both a test and a provocation from the three Universal Civilizations. Therefore, today, I would like to hear everyone's suggestions on how we should respond."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Manison, only to see Manison with his eyes slightly closed, looking calm and composed.
"I know about this. I also received a request for help at that time." Kant pondered and said, "Manison is a member of the Association. It is reasonable for us to seek justice for him."
"That's right. Although Manison has poor taste, is despicable, narrow-minded, old, ugly, and shameless, he's still one of us. The association can't pretend that nothing happened when he was attacked by the three Universal Civilizations for no reason," Sun Hunter said.
"I agree." Secret Master nodded.
Sun Hunter turned his head and glanced at him. "What do you agree with? The association should stand up for the old and ugly."
"… I agree with both." Secret Master's eyes twitched. He felt a trace of his luck inexplicably slip away.
Manison snorted, opened his eyes, and interrupted, "Just say what you want to say. Don't attack someone personally."
"No way, even telling the truth is against the law?" Sun Hunter sounded surprised.
Manison took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. No one will take my place if I get sick from anger …
Han Xiao looked at Sun Hunter approvingly and asked for their opinions.
Almost ninety percent of them agreed with the association standing up for Manison. It was not because they had a good relationship with old Manison but because they hoped that they would be treated the same way in the future.
"… Since most of you have the same opinion, the association will condemn the three Universal Civilizations and ask them to give a response. At the same time, please mobilize your armed forces on a large scale and listen to the association's orders. When necessary, we may take military action against the three Universal Civilizations."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.
They thought that a condemnation would be enough. At most, it would be a group of mechanics looking for trouble with the vassal organizations of the three Universal Civilizations. Why did Black Star's tone sound like he was going to start a war directly?
However, their surprise only lasted for a few seconds before they calmed down and did not object.
With the protection of the Sanctum Revival, most of them were quite confident. It was not impossible for them to fight. Furthermore, most of them felt that the military action Black Star mentioned was probably just a demonstration. After all, the current situation was barely balanced, and it did not look like a war was going to break out.
"Hmm, also, in order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, I suggest that everyone gather their main bodies in the Flickering World. Don't give the three Universal Civilizations a chance to attack us one by one. Of course, this is not forced. If some people really don't want to come, they don't have to, but they have to bear the consequences …"
As he spoke, Han Xiao glanced at Manison and slowly said.
Manison closed his eyes again and pretended not to hear. He would not let his well-hidden main body appear in front of others.
Most of them did not have any objections to this. Many of them had been staying in the Flickering World recently to manage their organizations here, so they did not have to rush. As for some of the Beyond Grade As with large businesses in other Star Fields, it was not a problem for them to stay here for the time being.
After a lively discussion and confirming the following arrangements, everyone logged off and adjourned the meeting one after another.
Very soon, only Han Xiao, Kasuyi, and Ames were left in the venue.
"You're still not going offline? I have some private matters to discuss with Old Ke. "
Han Xiao glanced at Ames and said, "Don't worry.
Ames shook her head, sighed, and said, "Aesop asked me to tell you that he saw a confrontation that attracted the attention of the entire universe. The two sides are the association and the three Universal Civilizations. The scene of the future he saw came to an abrupt end. He only knows that the final result will change the fate of the universe. He wants you to handle it carefully."
"Did the old man make another prophecy …" Han Xiao narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said, "Got it. Wait for me at home. After the meeting, I'll use the King to pick you up."
Ames smiled and went offline.
Now, only the two of them were left in the room.
Kasuyi listened to the conversation just now, frowned, and whispered, "Black Star, are we going to fight the three Universal Civilizations?"
"Very likely." Han Xiao casually told him about the Virtual Mutiny Virus.
Kasuyi's expression changed, and he did not know what to say. After a long while, he sighed and said, "The Mechanic Emperor is still too stubborn, but there's nothing we can do about it. It's your fault for not letting him know that there's no limit to the Sanctum Revival. If not for the Virtual Mutiny Virus, your plan could have been steadily realized. This extra layer of fear added to the chaos and made things different."
"Heh, even if he knows the truth, he'll most likely think that the Sanctum Revival and the Virtual Mutiny Virus are a perfect match." Han Xiao curled his lips. "Let's not talk about him. Anyway, be prepared. Let your Void Lords monitor the movements of the various dimensional armies of the three Universal Civilizations in the secondary dimensions. If they send troops to deal with us, they definitely won't hold back."
"Understood."
Kasuyi nodded and went offline.
…
The confrontation between the Beyond Grade A Association and the three Universal Civilizations had been going on for quite some time, and the galactic society had gradually gotten used to this tense atmosphere.
However, on this day, the Beyond Grade A Association publicly condemned the three Universal Civilizations for invading their member, Manison, and demanded an explanation. The Radiant Federation of the three Universal Civilizations was not to be outdone, claiming that Manison had stolen their secrets many times. This was a late reckoning, a punishment that should have happened long ago.
The galactic residents were already used to such conflicts, and they thought that it would be another day where the two sides would happily argue. However, the changes that followed made many people smell that something was wrong.
According to the previous practice, the association and the three Universal Civilizations would condemn each other back and forth, and the matter would soon be over. Even if there was any punishment, it would only be a blow to the development of an organization like a ban.
However, this time, the galactic residents and the various organizations were shocked to find that both sides seemed to want to play for real.
After the announcement was made, the three Universal Civilizations and the Beyond Grade A Association actually mobilized their forces on a large scale at the same time. The fleets of the three Universal Civilizations sailed out of the Central Galaxy and were stationed in the various Star Fields, while the people of the Beyond Grade A organizations were mainly gathered in the Flickering World.
At this time, even the slow-witted ordinary people realized that something was wrong. Although the association and the three Universal Civilizations did not continue to make a statement after that, it was clear that they were about to start a fight.
Since the two sides had been opposing each other, most of the galactic residents had only been watching the show. At this time, they all became nervous.
The public opinion on the internet that hoped that the three Universal Civilizations would clear out the Beyond Grade As was mostly just for show. However, when this scene seemed to be about to happen, many people panicked, afraid that a war of this scale would affect them.
For a time, the atmosphere of the entire galactic society became jittery. Countless eyes stared at the movements of both sides as if they could see a storm brewing quickly.
…
"Strange, why are the three Universal Civilizations suddenly not afraid?"
In the meeting room of the Supercluster Alliance, the leaders were all surprised.
According to their analysis, the three Universal Civilizations should not start a war so easily due to the fear of various parties, and it was the same for the association. So why did both sides suddenly become so reckless?
The invasion of Manison was the trigger, but the leaders of the Supercluster Alliance did not think it was necessary. It was only a copy of the database that was stolen, and he was not beaten or killed. Was there a need to make such a big fuss?
"Could it be that the three Universal Civilizations have changed their minds and want to cut the Gordian knot without caring about their losses?" someone asked suspiciously.
"That's unlikely. Don't forget that we're still here. If the three Universal Civilizations and the association both suffer heavy losses, won't that give us a chance to rise up?" the Star Arc Civilization leader said hesitantly.
It was because of their existence that the previous weak balance was maintained. If not for the Supercluster Alliance benefiting from it, the two sides might have attacked long ago.
"What should we do?"
"Just wait and see. If they really want to fight, it's a good thing for us …"
The Star Arc Civilization leader rolled his eyes.
"However, we have to be careful of the three Universal Civilizations taking the opportunity to drag us into it. It's not the first time they've done something like this. It's best if we arrange a large number of troops at the border. We don't need to interfere in their battle and just protect the safety of the territory."
The leaders of the Supercluster Alliance discussed softly with excitement in their voices. Although they did not know why the three Universal Civilizations and the association suddenly became reckless, it was not bad news for them.
…
Time passed quickly in the atmosphere of a storm. Under the nervous attention of the galactic society, the movements of the two sides became more frequent and obvious. They did not hide at all and kept placing their pieces like chess. However, they never touched each other, and there was no friction. It was as if they did not exist.
Both sides still hadn't made any new announcements, causing all kinds of rumors to spread wildly, and public opinion was spreading panic everywhere.
The population flow of the various Star Fields also had a chain reaction. The galactic residents who stayed in the Flickering World left en masse, causing congestion in the stargates. The number of people who went to the Central Galaxy and some of the border Star Fields to seek refuge also increased.
Under the eyes of the world, a super-large joint fleet of the three Universal Civilizations entered the Primeval Star River and headed straight for the Mechanical Race's territory.
At the same time, the three Universal Civilizations finally issued a new statement.
"Through the analysis of the Mecha Empire's database by the Academy of Science, we have obtained conclusive evidence that the Mecha Empire has been secretly developing the Virtual Mutiny Virus, trying to replicate the source of this universal disaster. Currently, they have obtained relevant results and are trying to bring disaster to the galaxy.
"Here, the Radiant Federation, the Red Empire, and the Arcane Church represent the galactic society to issue a joint ultimatum to the Mecha Empire. Immediately hand over the Virtual Mutiny Virus technology and destroy all backups under our supervision. We will protect the safety of the galactic society at all costs!"
On the day the statement was released, the haze of the Intelligent Plague once again shrouded the galactic society and the hearts of countless galactic residents. Panic swept through one Star System after another at an unbelievable speed.
The Virtual Mutiny Virus still existed in the world?
It was not easy to eradicate this scourge virus that threatened the entire universe, but someone created it again for their own selfish reasons?
The galactic society was in an uproar!
Along with shock and fear came fury from the bottom of their hearts.
The Mecha Empire, damn it!
