Chapter 1172: Chapter 601: Li Ming Will Live and Die Alongside Everyone
The Chaos Core is the largest node within the Chaotic Star Gap, crafted jointly by many overlord-level figures of the Chaotic Star Gap. It is incredibly prosperous and thriving, considered the hallmark of the Chaotic Star Gap.
Meanwhile, Anduin has been stationed here for years, equivalent to half of a home base.
Choosing the meeting place directly here suggests the determination and confidence of the Three Great Civilizations.
Basically, they don’t take Anduin and the others seriously.
The one who conveyed this message to him was Anduin himself, along with a virtual conference room link.
Anduin and the other five life forms naturally held a meeting at the first opportunity.
Ever since the Three Great Civilizations targeted the Chaotic Star Gap, the six of them frequently met to discuss.
A while ago, after the Three Great Civilizations announced troop deployment, Anduin promptly invited him to discuss.
However, Li Ming was busy calculating his plundered gains and could not be bothered with them at that time.
This time, though, he did not refuse and accessed the virtual conference room from a secluded room.
As the surrounding projection was just taking shape, he heard Barbaro’s suppressed yet distinctly recognizable angry voice roaring:
“…This is utterly outrageous, simply outrageous!”
“Look at their remarks, if we don’t go or are late, we bear the consequences on ourselves. This is a blatant threat!”
“Do we not even have the right to be late?”
The bluish light sketched his flushed cheeks.
Since it was still in the stage of virtual projection outlining, combined with his continuous pacing, it appeared somewhat distorted and scattered.
The others also looked displeased, and Sheffield retorted, “Shouting here is pointless, instead go and argue with the Three Great Civilizations.”
“If I had that kind of strength, I wouldn’t need to endure this crap,” Barbaro stated candidly.
Upon the descent of Lord Azure Dragon, the originally tense atmosphere between them somewhat dissipated.
“Lord Azure Dragon…” Sven and the other three, with lower presence, greeted with a bitter smile, “At last you have arrived.”
Although Lord Azure Dragon promised them that he would intervene last time, and organized a harmless little skirmish with the Three Great Civilizations and the High-level Life Form Union.
Later, however, Lord Azure Dragon rarely participated in their discussions.
And last time, due to the troop deployment by the Three Great Civilizations, they argued fiercely, and Lord Azure Dragon did not appear.
This unsettled them a bit, making them suspect that perhaps Lord Azure Dragon had already given up on the Chaotic Star Gap.
“Recently, I had an important matter to attend to on my side, so I haven’t communicated much with you,” Li Ming, seeing what the other party was thinking, explained mildly.
“You misunderstand,” Sven quickly said, “I absolutely didn’t mean to question you.”
“It’s just…” he sighed, stealing a glance at Lord Azure Dragon, “The Three Great Civilizations have inexplicably added nine more X Level life forms and a large fleet.”
The majority outside believe it is because Lord Azure Dragon intends to make a move.
Thus, the Three Great Civilizations mobilized more forces temporarily, including Li Ming himself, who thought the same.
This explanation was an implicit hint that because of you, the Three Great Civilizations have dispatched more people, and surely you can’t just abandon us now.
Li Ming naturally understood his concerns but was too lazy to console further.
Anduin looked stern, “Let’s discuss the current situation first, should we go or not?”
“Not going,” Barbaro said through gritted teeth, “we have cooperated enough, caught a lot of people under our command, what more do they want?”
“If we go to the Chaos Core, relying on their numerical advantage, what if they capture us on the spot?”
This was precisely the point of concern; the firm attitude of the Three Great Civilizations sufficiently showed that they would not easily let it go.
“If we don’t go, it just gives them an excuse to attack, justifiably purging the Chaotic Star Gap,” Sheffield frowned.
Barbaro countered, “If they catch us first and then purge, isn’t it the same?”
Sheffield emphasized, “The problem lies here, we are not clear to what extent the Three Great Civilizations will go.”
“Whether they mean to capture a few or to purge the entire Chaotic Star Gap, or even to kill us all, without that clarity, we will be very passive.”
Everyone was troubled, if the Three Great Civilizations did not intend to kill them, yet they appeared extremely resistant, wouldn’t it push the matter to another extreme?
But in case, they indeed intend to eliminate them, proceeding to the Chaos Core would be walking into a trap.
Truly a dilemma.
“It doesn’t seem likely to end well, reportedly…the Krexmir Spear has been brought by the Star Alliance,” Anduin’s face was full of worry.
Upon mentioning this name, the atmosphere nearly froze, descending to icy silence, and Barbaro appeared even somewhat frightened.
Thirty X-level life forms are already staggering enough, coupled with the rumored Titan Holy Artifact, even the slightest resistance is stripped away.
How can we even play this game?
“Damn, I suggest we cut and run, don’t take anything from the Chaotic Star Gap, hide for a few hundred years first,” Barbaro expressed forthrightly.
Everyone’s expressions varied, yet nobody reprimanded him. One couldn’t fault Barbaro for being so pessimistic, genuinely seeing no hope for victory.
Even Lord Azure Dragon might not withstand such a joint onslaught from so many.
“What’s your opinion, Lord?” Anduin looked towards Lord Azure Dragon, feeling that Lord Azure Dragon’s claim to protect the Chaotic Star Gap wasn’t just idle talk.
“I suggest the few of you still make a visit,” facing everyone’s gaze, Li Ming said.
