A moment of silence.

Would anyone stand with us?

Ying Fei and the others looked at Duge, and couldn't help but have the same thought as Gao Ming.

Could Duge's attributes really have been brought down?

On one hand are resources; on the other, you're the lawless Demon King who's suppressed everyone across three Alien Battlefields...

The people of their planet don't even trust them, how could they possibly stand by you?

Do they really think they are so righteous?

Now would be the best time to eliminate Duge, right?

But whether it was Ying Fei or Xu Wan, this thought fleshed out in their minds only to be dismissed in a flash. Reflecting on their journey with Duge, they found it hard to harbour hostility against someone like him, even if he was an enemy to the whole planet.

"Taking action against him now would probably leave me with a lifetime of guilt," thought Ying Fei.

"He didn't kill me when he was at his strongest. I should give him a chance. A 55% chance of victory is already very high," thought Xu Wan.

"With Duge dead, it's likely that no one will ever defy the Pan-Cosmic Entertainment Company again. I should preserve a spark of rebellion for civilization, just in case it succeeds!" thought Xiang Jiaojiao.

"Once Duge is killed, the people of Green Star would probably go insane. Without Duge to mediate, outsiders would take the opportunity to kill us," Meng Lanyun thought darkly.

"The divination of monopolizing fortune has always been the same; you all better not delude yourselves!" Yuan Xiaoyan felt something was wrong and was anxious, but she couldn't speak out to remind Xu Wan and the others at this time.

"With Duge dead, we're finished too. So, I must protect him at all costs," thought Zhang Xueqi, Sang Ge, and the other Alien Warriors who had boosted their attributes but had not won any rankings. Their thoughts were even more complex and multifaceted.

Mixed in with the National Defense Bureau, they were there to survive, not to win rankings, so they had to ensure they were on the same front line as Duge.

Only Duge has a history of protecting Alien Warriors from other planets; no one else could be trusted!

"Believing his words is like believing a sow can fly," Fan Lie, who had been disciplined by Duge, was the most clear-headed of all. He had learned not to trust any appearances, and besides, he was now in third place. If he just maintained his position until the end, he would win. He didn't want to cause any trouble at this moment!

...

"Sir Long, what does Duge mean?" Ou Yuancheng, after conveying Duge's words to Sir Long, asked with a confused face. Ever since he started monitoring Duge, he felt like he was facing a riddle. He couldn't guess Duge's keywords, let alone his intentions.

Sir Long's brows were tightly locked: "One possibility is that we've nullified Duge's attributes and he's bluffing to deter others and balance the relationship between each person; another possibility is that Duge is speaking for our ears, wanting us to make a wrong judgment about him; the third possibility is that he still has a hidden card, something we don't know about..."

Ou Yuancheng frowned: "Sir Long, which possibility is more likely?"

"The second," Sir Long said. "I don't believe a guy who has taken first place in the Alien Battlefield three times would put himself in jeopardy."

"So, what do we do?" asked Ou Yuancheng.

"The best way is to catch him off guard, using the advantage of numbers to have a final battle on Green Star," said Sir Long. "But Duge has only given us one day's notice, and we can't assemble everyone in time, so we'll have to launch a surprise attack on him on the first Green Star satellite."

"You mean he considered this when he set the timetable for the space battle?" Ou Yuancheng asked in surprise.

"Isn't blitzkrieg consistently Duge's tactic?" Sir Long said. "As long as others can't keep up with his pace, they'll be pulled apart and defeated one by one. Haven't we also been forced out by him? He is a formidable opponent. If we don't take him out, the remaining planets will only be able to pick up the scraps left by Qiyuan Star. This is our last chance."

...

The next day.

Under the watchful eyes of the masses, the National Defense Bureau, Benevolent Association, Sixth Group Army and various other forces boarded the interstellar mother ships, under the arrangement of the Federal Government, taking off directly to the first military base in Earth's orbit.

The National Defense Bureau brought along not only the soldiers operating the mother ships but also all the gene-modified warriors who had been transformed by Fan Lie.

Although the Alien Warriors of various forces had brought politicians, tycoons, civilians and other amulets with them, under Duge's influence, they had already become the strongest batch of Alien Warriors on Green Star.

And behind the Alien Warriors was Pan-Universe Entertainment, far more powerful than the Hel civilization.

So, tampering with their mother ships while they were ascending, or having the troops stationed on the space front turn their guns around to destroy all the cosmic warships carrying Alien Warriors, would be the best method to eliminate any hidden dangers.

Compared to the future of an entire civilization, those amulets the Alien Warriors brought were utterly inconsequential...

Although Duge had garnered enough goodwill on Green Star, he was alive today because of his cautious attitude and the habit of planning for the worst.

Sometimes good deeds do not lead to good returns.

Presidents and emperors alike usually aren't kind-hearted.

Moreover, he had no dealings with the President, and the President wasn't a woman; he had even slapped the President's face...

Even though he had Solar Divine Power and Dark God Power, if struck, the most likely to survive would be himself, but he had teammates like Gao Ming to consider---he couldn't let down those comrades who trusted him.
