18: End of event

Chapter 18: Event Concludes

At this point, God Karl’s tone shifted, and he spoke meaningfully, "How about it? Do you want to choose the first option, where I send the resources to you, and you pilot your respective warships back to your civilizations, after which there will be no further entanglement between us?"

"Or do you choose the second option, where you wait for me to decrypt the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization's shielding device, and then you come and join me in conquering the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization, and ultimately I will reimburse all resources to you?"

No wonder Morgana said that God Karl had a belly full of bad ideas!

Look at all the things he had done!

Was there anything that wasn't designed to trick these subordinate civilizations?

He claimed to give these subordinate civilizations two options, but in reality, no matter which option they chose, God Karl would ultimately not lose any resources!

First, regarding the second option, God Karl's meaning was very clear: as long as these subordinate civilizations did not ask him for resources, then when the next attack on the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization occurred, God Karl would give them an entry ticket, allowing these subordinate civilizations the opportunity to benefit from being close to the source.

If these subordinate civilizations did not choose the second option, but instead chose the first option, that was also fine!

Because God Karl had already dispatched the Netherworld Civilization's fleet to block these subordinate civilizations' way home!

As long as they dared to choose that path, God Karl would unhesitatingly send them to heaven to meet God!

It was precisely for this reason that it was said earlier that no matter which path these subordinate civilizations chose, God Karl would ultimately lose nothing!

Or rather, from the moment these subordinate civilizations agreed to God Karl joining the alliance, their lives were no longer their own!

Instead, they were held in God Karl's hand; he could decide when these subordinate civilizations' fleets would die, and they would die at that time!

Time slowly passed. After an unknown period, the main gods of these subordinate civilizations, after repeated struggles and considerations, finally chose the second solution proposed by God Karl!

There was no other way; they had already invested so much for the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization's matter!

These subordinate civilizations had long since lost their retreat!

If they were to slink away from here like this, these subordinate civilizations would definitely not be reconciled!

Listening to the main gods of various civilizations in the “Alliance” channel all choosing the second option, God Karl, standing in the Death Academy, nodded and revealed a slight smile.

It was a good thing that the main gods of these subordinate civilizations were sensible, otherwise, even if God Karl had other countermeasures, it would still waste a lot of time and effort!

After God Karl dealt with the subordinate civilizations in the “Alliance” channel, God Karl refocused his attention on the “Top Tier Civilization Alliance” channel.

Compared to the subordinate civilizations in the “Alliance” channel, the people in the “Top Tier Civilization Alliance” were incredibly difficult to deal with!

After all, these people were basically old hands in the Known Universe; trying to play mind games with them would probably be tough!

Facing them, God Karl could only offer tangible benefits to completely stabilize everyone in the entire “Top Tier Civilization Alliance.”

Realizing the difficulty of the situation, God Karl, standing in the Death Academy, shook his head, let out a sigh, and then spoke in the entire “Top Tier Civilization Alliance” channel: “The Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization has a shielding device. I estimate that until I can decrypt this device, we will be unable to detect the entire Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!”

“However, this is also a good thing for us, because the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization that can use this shielding technology should not be a powerful civilization itself, but rather a civilization with relatively strong technology but weak individual strength!”

“After all, if their individual strength were strong, they would certainly not use something like a shielding device to conceal their entire civilization, not wanting to be discovered!”

[Morgana: “Damn it~! Karl, you pervert, don’t tell us these useless things. Just tell us directly how you plan to compensate us!”]

[General Du Kao: “Indeed! God Karl, you know very well what time it is! Various civilizations in the universe are all using different methods to improve the quality of their legions! If you hadn’t led us here, perhaps some of us might have already made it onto the leaderboard!”]

[Pan Zhen: “What our Liyang wants is very simple. As long as you add three times the resources to the conditions you previously promised us, our Liyang can stop pursuing this matter.”]

“Hmm.” Listening to the voice from the communication channel, God Karl nodded, agreeing to Pan Zhen’s request.

There was no other way! Pan Zhen was an object that God Karl absolutely had to maintain good relations with!

After all, in God Karl’s future plans, he still needed to rely on the power of Liyang Star to help him detonate a black hole and obtain void particles!

[Morgana: “Damn it! Karl, you pervert, you agreed just like that? Then our Demon Civilization won’t ask for much, just triple the resources from the previous conditions!”]

[General Du Kao: “Since that’s the case, then our God River Civilization’s Super God Academy will also triple it, just like Liyang and the Demon Civilization!”]

“Alright!” Listening to Morgana and General Du Kao’s voices, God Karl gritted his teeth and finally agreed.

With God Karl’s agreement, the entire matter finally came to an end!

Except for those subordinate civilizations who were treated as patsies, all the top civilizations received generous rewards that satisfied their civilizations!

With these rewards, they could expand their armies in a short period, giving their civilizations a greater chance of winning in the leaderboard comparison!

However, while other top civilizations were happy, God Karl was now suffering terribly!

One must know that to invite these top civilizations, God Karl had already paid a considerable amount of resources!

Now, if it were to be tripled again, the resources he, the Netherworld Civilization, had accumulated over the years would probably be completely squandered!

To make matters worse, these resources were originally intended by God Karl to expand the Netherworld Civilization's army and contend for leaderboard rankings!

But now, with this turn of events, his Netherworld Civilization would be completely out of contention for this leaderboard!

How could God Karl, who wanted to personally experience the magic of the leaderboard, be reconciled with this?

Thinking of this, God Karl resentfully looked towards the location where he believed the “Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization” existed!

In his opinion, if it weren't for the appearance of the “Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization,” he, God Karl, would not have fallen to his current state!
