Free Web NovelChapter 473: Chapter 83: Civilization Coalition, State of the World Community (2)
"Our collective consciousness predicted this long ago. The Black Prison Race cannot be trusted."
"But thousands of years ago, you all refused to believe, insisting on defending only your own corners."
"And look where that got us. You just let the Black Prison Race occupy over thirty percent of our World Community’s Star Realms."
At this, the golden figure’s emotionless eyes shifted as it spoke again: ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"However, it is not too late."
"While the nests that the Black Prison Race’s Deities convert in the Star Realm can create a great many Star Realm ’Warriors’ in a short time, the upper limit of these Black Prison members is locked. They have far less Potential than those who have absorbed the souls and Negative Power of Intelligent Creatures from Life Planets."
"Right now, our allied forces only need to advance steadily, step by step, and destroy the Black Prison Race’s breeding ground planets—where they cultivate their potential-filled kin across the various Star Realms. If we do that, we can quickly reclaim our lost territory."
"Of course, it is unrealistic to dream of defeating the Black Prison Race. After all, if the Army Commanders stationed in their respective Star Realms make a move, we will likely suffer heavy losses."
"Furthermore, we must also consider the battle groups under the direct command of the Black Prison Race’s Army Commanders in each Star Realm. Even the smaller of these legions possess the Power to summon their ’Master.’ Some time ago, our allied forces suffered major losses during a counterattack in another region for this very reason."
"Therefore, from now on, as soon as there is a sign of trouble, you should all retreat into Subspace. The Golden Beetle Race will cover your retreat as per our alliance agreement!"
It had to be said, the advantages of the Nanoworms were also quite obvious.
As long as there was matter to devour and their collective consciousness remained within a controllable scale, they could spawn troops at any time.
In fact, after many rounds of evolution, the highest-level units of the Golden Beetle Civilization could now act as a core, aggregating a massive number of other evolved units to wield Power comparable to a Peak Main God.
Behind the scenes of the Golden Beetle Civilization, there were even three Nanoworm units capable of controlling the race’s aggregation to form a golden Divine Body, analogous to a Deity, and wielding Main God Level Law Power.
As the golden figure’s voice faded, the leading Star God Level Deity spoke.
It was a Star God shaped like a sea horse, similar to a ’Ye Hailong,’ and it began to speak slowly:
"The Black Prison Race may be strong, but they are not invincible."
"In the vast Star Sea, there are surely civilizations and Races stronger than them."
"Over the years, my race has begun exploring Subspace. Whether or not we can find a civilization or Race that can rival them, it at least provides an escape route for our people’s future survival."
"In short, you all should understand that an Authority Level Deity is not something an ordinary Deity can withstand."
"According to the information we share with other World Communities, the Black Prison Race currently has no fewer than five Authority Level Deities, not including their Master."
"And what about us, the Owen World Community? We have been actively traveling to different Star Realms in search of civilizations to ally with, yet we have found only the ’Dean’ Race, who possess a single Authority Level Deity."
"You know the situation with the Dean Race. They are too rigid. They don’t take anything we say seriously and are completely unwilling to ally with us."
"So, frankly, if the situation becomes irreversible, our civilizations should all prepare to migrate to other World Communities."
"The Star Sea is vast. There’s bound to be a place for us somewhere, isn’t there?"
The Sea Horse Star God’s words were harsh, but they were also a reflection of reality.
A single World Community is a vast region. The fact that these dozen or so somewhat powerful civilizations were able to ally with each other was already quite an achievement.
As for whether there were stronger civilizations in their Star Realm?
They didn’t know, but the probability was definitely not high.
After all, if there truly were a very powerful civilization, traces of them would have already appeared in many regions of this World Community by now.
To say nothing of others, just look at their own dozen or so civilizations—which one of them hadn’t colonized several to several dozen planets while exploring the Star Sea? freewebnσvel.cøm
Don’t be fooled by the large number of Fixed Star Systems within a World Community.
You mustn’t forget that the probability of a Life Planet appearing in the Star Sea is even lower, so low it’s appalling.
Therefore, this alliance of a dozen or so civilizations was likely the most powerful group in this World Community at present.
As for the civilizations from Magicless Worlds...
Even if their Technology Level had reached that of a Tier Two Civilization, and even if they had established colonies in many Fixed Star Systems...
...in the eyes of these allied civilizations, they were nothing more than ant-like civilizations.
After all, even if these magicless civilizations were advanced enough to achieve near-lightspeed flight...
...magicless was still magicless. It would be all too easy for a single Deity to destroy such a civilization.
Before these civilizations, a purely technological Magicless World was a complete child, with no real military strength to speak of.
Take the Golden Beetle Civilization, for example. In essence, are they not silicon-based lifeforms infused with Magic Power Elements?
Therefore, in the view of civilizations like theirs, purely technological civilizations had no Potential.
Aside from improving the lives of ordinary people, once faced with an attack by Deities from a Demon World, the destruction of these civilizations was only a matter of time.
So, although this World Community had many decent technological civilizations...
...they were never taken seriously by these allied civilizations.
The only one who would take them seriously was probably the Golden Beetle Civilization. The Nanoworms absorbed their technology trees, which is how they acquired much of their Starship-like technology.
Of course, the Black Prison Race would surely be very fond of these magicless Interstellar Civilizations.
After all, their populations were massive.
Perfect consumables for slaughtering and collecting souls and Negative Power.
As for a Level Three Civilization...
...that is, a civilization capable of establishing a vast Empire on the scale of a galaxy like the ’Milky Way Galaxy’ or a ’World Community’...
...they simply didn’t exist.
’Are you kidding me?’
Theoretically, purely Metal-based technological Power could never achieve lightspeed travel.
So it was even more out of the question for a civilization to reach the level of a Level Three Civilization.
Even if one existed, it would have to be a civilization that had integrated mystical elements to do so.
After all, when a technological civilization expands indefinitely, it will inevitably encounter a Demon World.
And once that happens, it’s obvious that under the Dark Forest’s Cosmic Law, the technological civilization would be completely uprooted by the Deities of the Demon World.
This is because the thinking of most Deities is very rigid.
’The Star Realm is the domain of Deities. How can mortals be allowed to desecrate it?’
Therefore, when an Interstellar Civilization encounters Deities, the outcome is usually not good.
Of course, if they encounter a somewhat benevolent Deity, an Interstellar Civilization might be accepted and even become part of their mortal subject system.
After all, being a Demon World civilization that integrates technological development is an eventual commonality for most such civilizations.
Looking no further than the current allied forces, at least half of the civilizations within it have integrated technology into their own development.
It’s just that their Technology Level, of course, isn’t as exaggerated as that of the Golden Beetle Civilization.
Therefore, taking all this into account...
...this allied force, a union of a dozen or so powerful civilizations, really had no other potential allies left in this World Community.
Driven by their instinct to seek advantages and avoid harm, and facing the relentless pressure from the Black Prison Race, they had naturally begun to prepare their own escape routes.
If they lost the planets in their own world, they could just go and conquer ones in other World Communities.
As for fighting the Black Prison Race to the death, civilizations of their level would naturally not be so foolish.
"We can prepare an escape route in advance, but we can’t let the Black Prison have an easy time either."
"Your Majesty Griffith, the enemy has made their move. Don’t you think it’s time we made ours?"
At this moment, the bird-headed Deity spoke again in a deep voice.
Clearly, this bird-headed being was of the stubborn, iron-willed faction that refused to retreat, and it was somewhat repulsed by the talk of an escape route mentioned by the Sea Horse Dominator.
So, it cut through the defeatist sentiment among the allied Deities and quickly looked toward the direction where the Black Prison Race was charging toward the Nanoworm planet, saying,
Upon hearing this, the Sea Horse Deity glanced silently at the bird-headed Deity.
Then, it said faintly, "Very well."
"In that case, you go first and clear a path for the Golden Armor Race’s Planet Fortress in this direction!"
"I shall stand guard here!"
