In the defense circle of the Mechanical Race's territory, the three Universal Civilizations' joint fleet and the Beyond Grade A Association's joint fleet had been in a standoff for some time.
At the edge of the battlefield, spaceships with different galactic media logos were broadcasting the situation here. Neither side chased away these war media.
Because this place could very well become a battlefield, these media outlets sent unmanned spaceships to broadcast remotely. This storm center that could ignite a war was already the most watched place in the entire universe. The overall number of viewers had already exceeded the historical record.
"The three Universal Civilizations' fleet has been stopped. The two sides did not exchange fire and seem to be observing … Although we don't know the reason, the war has not broken out yet. We sincerely hope that there will be a turn for the better …"
In the galactic media's network broadcast room, the host had a serious expression. Countless viewers were nervously watching the screen, feeling uneasy.
After this period of publicity, most people knew that this would be the turning point of the situation. Once the two sides started fighting here, it would very likely lead to an all-out war between the three Universal Civilizations and the Beyond Grade A Association. Countless people were panicking about this.
At this moment, two shooting stars appeared on the screen. They came from afar and quickly shot from within the defense circle to the area where the two sides were facing each other, revealing their respective figures.
"The Mecha Empire has finally appeared. The other is the president of the Beyond Grade A Association, Black Star. He's here personally, so he's probably here to stop the three Universal Civilizations?"
Hearing the host's introduction, countless galactic residents focused on the two of them. Many people had mixed feelings about these two people who had turned the universe into what it was today.
Han Xiao crossed the Beyond Grade A Association's fleet, arrived between the two armies, and hovered in the middle of the standoff. He immediately became the focus of attention on the battlefield. The battleships of both sides locked onto him, magnifying his figure on the screen.
He glanced at the shockingly large fleet of the three Universal Civilizations, opened the public channel, and openly shouted, not avoiding anyone.
"You're not fighting, and you're not retreating. Then, the person in charge should come out and talk. I believe that this is not what everyone wants to see. If we can come up with a plan that we can all accept, no one is willing to use force to solve the problem."
As soon as he said that, the battlefield fell silent for a while. Then, three beams of light shot out from the main ship, forming the remote projections of the three Universal Civilizations' leaders in front of Han Xiao. At the same time, they connected to the public channel.
Once the communication was connected, Louis spoke in a deep voice and went straight to the point.
"Black Star, are you bent on monopolizing the Virtual Mutiny Virus technology and sheltering the heinous Mecha Empire?"
Han Xiao shook his head. "The Virtual Mutiny Virus was destroyed a long time ago. The Mecha Empire only researched it on their own and obtained some results. It was originally developed by them, so how could they claim it for themselves? Although this technology was dangerous, there was no obligation to hand it over to the three Universal Civilizations. At the same time, it did not harm the galactic society, so how could it be a heinous crime? On the other hand, you sent an army to surround the Mecha Empire's territory and tried to force them to hand over their technology. That's not very honorable. "
"The Mecha Empire has a criminal record. Their motive for researching this technology is questionable. For safety reasons, we need to control this technology and control the Mecha Empire themselves. This is all to protect the galactic society. This is the responsibility of the three Universal Civilizations," Marbruce said with a serious expression.
Han Xiao's expression did not change. "Back then, during the Intelligent Plague, many Beyond Grade A Mechanics worked together to resolve the disaster. This has already proven that the association is also protecting the safety of the universe. We will also ensure that this technology will not harm the galactic society. This is an internal matter of the association, and the three Universal Civilizations will not interfere."
"The Beyond Grade A Development Union is just a civilian organization," the Ethereal Pope said seriously. "There's no real meaning in guaranteeing it. The three Universal Civilizations have the right to manage it. At the same time, the three Universal Civilizations also have the right to supervise all factors that endanger the galactic society. This is within the scope of the Civilization Jurisdiction Law. The Mecha Empire must hand over the Virtual Mutiny Virus technology!"
"Impossible." Han Xiao rejected decisively. "The association's statement has already expressed its attitude. Individuals have the freedom to research and will not be forced to hand it over. The association will restrict the scope of application of this technology. We hope that the three Universal Civilizations will withdraw their troops immediately!"
Louis paused, raised his tone, and said majestically, "As long as the Mecha Empire hands over the technology, we will withdraw our troops. Before that, we will not stop this military operation for any reason. We will give an ultimatum of ten days. We hope that the association will consider this carefully and not make the wrong decision. "
"So, there's no room for discussion?"
"You have ten days."
Han Xiao nodded. His tone changed, and he said with a deep voice, "Since that's the case, I'll be the one to decide.
If you want to force the association to hand over the technology, you'll have to get past me first! "
Then, he sat down with his legs crossed and hovered in the middle of the two armies. Although he was alone, he seemed to have become an endless line in the eyes of the others.
The leaders of the three Universal Civilizations looked at him deeply, and their remote projections disappeared.
The conversation between the two sides was carried out in the public channel. It was not hidden from the outside world, and everyone present heard it. It was also broadcasted by the media.
The expressions of countless galactic residents changed.
"Did the negotiation fail?"
"It's over. Neither side is giving in. Looks like they're really going to fight!"
"There's still ten days. I wonder if we can take refuge in time."
The galactic society was in a state of panic.
Han Xiao glanced at the fleets of the three Universal Civilizations. Seeing that they were waiting for orders, he shook his head.
As the president, he represented the position of the association. It was impossible for him to give in. He would definitely not hand over the technology. However, the three Universal Civilizations had put on such a big show. They would not retreat until they achieved their goal. Neither side was willing to give in.
"Ten days …" Han Xiao mumbled.
This was the ultimatum given by the three Universal Civilizations. After ten days, if they still did not reach a consensus, they would probably really fight. The three Universal Civilizations were probably determined to bear the consequences of war this time.
He opened the interface and took a look. At this time, a new mission had been pinned at the top of the mission list. It was the mission triggered by Manison. The requirement was to resolve the siege of the Mechanical Race's territory. As long as the three Universal Civilizations could retreat, the mission would be completed.
Perhaps because Manison had personally asked for help, other than the high amount of experience, the reward was also a chance to draw one of Manison's abilities.
Han Xiao naturally would not let go of another chance to steal Manison's underwear.
He casually opened the forums and took a look. His statement earlier was also recorded by the players in the fleet.
Unlike the galactic residents who were terrified, the players basically wanted the world to be in chaos. Almost all of them were excited about the current situation. Regarding his statement of 'I am the world', all kinds of comments such as' domineering 'and' awesome 'appeared on the video.
Beep … Beep …
At this moment, the communicator suddenly rang. It was from Marbruce.
Han Xiao was not surprised at all. Public negotiations were more about expressing their attitude to the outside world. The real deal had to be negotiated in private.
After connecting the call, the projections of the three Universal Civilizations' leaders appeared on the screen of the mechanical suit.
"Black Star, do you really want to start a war?" Marbruce asked in a low voice.
"I should be the one asking you that." Han Xiao was calm.
"Don't think that you can be fearless just because you have the Sanctum Revival. You're leading the Beyond Grade As to death," Louis said coldly.
"Isn't that what you want to see? If you're not worried about the losses of starting a war, why are you negotiating with me in private now?"
"Heh, our research is not without results. The Sanctum Revival requires the consumption of certain special resources, and it can't be used as one pleases. You can't scare us now. Furthermore, those revivors have already used their revival opportunities. If we really fight, there will also be losses. No one wants that," the Ethereal Pope said.
"Then what do you have in mind?" Han Xiao smacked his lips.
"We want the Virtual Mutiny Virus technology and information related to the Sanctum Revival. In exchange, not only will we withdraw our troops, but we will also remove the ban on the association and support your development. We can even provide you with enough Universal Treasures, technical blueprints, and promise that the members of the Black Star Corps will not be on the liquidation list in the future. These transactions will be done in private and will not be made public to the outside world. The reason we withdraw our troops can be because we're afraid of your combat strength, so we can help you achieve your fame …"
"You think too much if you're ugly. See you again."
Without waiting for him to finish, Han Xiao ended the call. They were not on the same page at all.
This was the first time he had taken the initiative to hang up on the leaders of the three Universal Civilizations. In the past, when they had not fallen out, he would not give face to such big shots. Now, he was in a good mood.
…
On the other side, in the command room of the main ship of the three Universal Civilizations' joint fleet.
"… Hmm, okay, I understand."
After hearing the orders from above, the fleet commander Simon responded a few times, put down the communicator, returned to the command deck, and calmly ordered.
"Pass down my order. The engineering team will begin assembling the Multi-Dimensional Sky Opening Transportation Device. It will be warmed up in twelve hours and connected to the coordinates of the sending location."
"The higher-ups are sending reinforcements?" the chief of staff asked.
"Hmm."
Simon turned around and looked at Han Xiao, who was sitting alone in the starry sky outside the porthole. A glint flashed across his eyes, and he said with an inexplicable tone,
His eyes flashed and he said, "The higher-ups have ordered us to welcome the direct Beyond Grade As who are teleported over."
"How many are coming?"
Hearing this, Simon glanced at him.
"All of them."
…
In the guest room of Black Star Palace.
A group of Beyond Grade As gathered and were watching the news broadcast in the Mechanical Race's territory. They had different expressions and were discussing in low voices.
"Black Star's attitude is too tough. If this continues, there will be no room for mediation." The old dragon Milizaus was worried.
Sun Hunter was fiddling with his gun and said, "Mediation my ass. This battle is unavoidable. Black Star is not pretending to be there alone. I'm guessing he's waiting for the three Universal Civilizations to send their direct members to deal with him. Whether it's a siege or a tag-team battle, he'll accept it all. This is to establish his dominance."
"Is he reliable alone?" Kant frowned. "If the three Universal Civilizations send out all their forces, the Dark Emperor and the Golden Ring will definitely not be left behind. Those guys guarding the secondary dimension world bases will also most likely be transferred back. No matter how strong he is, it'll be enough for him to suffer. Even the God's Chosen might take action."
"Black Star should be able to deal with the others, but the God's Chosen …" Kasuyi hesitated. "If he uses the 'National Weapon' of the Arcane Church, Black Star might be in trouble."
Hella crossed her arms, crossed her legs, and coldly said, "Don't worry about Black Star. He's tough. Let's think about the threat in front of us first. The armies of the three Universal Civilizations have already sealed the door to the Flickering World, the Dawn Star Cluster. They might attack at any time. There are probably no less than ten thousand over-the-horizon Planet Destruction weapons aiming here."
"Ten thousand? You're underestimating the three Universal Civilizations. "Sun Hunter snorted.
Kasuyi shook his head. "We've already made all the necessary arrangements. We can only wait for the changes in the Primeval Star River. At least, before the three Universal Civilizations take action against the Mechanical Race's territory, the troops in the other areas won't open fire."
Everyone sighed. When this scene really happened, they still felt uncertain in their hearts.
No matter what, the opponent was the overlord of this universe. This long-lasting fear was not something that could be easily eliminated.
The turning point of the situation came so quickly that even many Beyond Grade As were not used to it. However, the drastic changes in the era were always sudden, and they rarely gave people the chance to slowly adapt. They could only accept reality.
