Chapter 897 - - 606 Burn the boats

Kaska cast a puzzled look at Duge.

“Kaska, I must say, you’ve made several serious mistakes,” Duge said gravely, “When I established the Empire Federation, I emphasized repeatedly that extraterrestrials living on Emperor Star must report to the Federation immediately.”

“I don’t know what motivated you not to report, but it was because you didn’t report to me that I came to know of this spaceship, which triggered the root of the disaster and brought catastrophe to the entire planet,” Duge pointed at the Origin of Mankind, with a hint of reproach, “Had you voluntarily told me about the Origin of Mankind at the beginning, I never would have opened this spaceship…”

“I thought you wouldn’t find the spaceship,” Kaska said sheepishly, “The State Preceptor told me, to hide something, don’t let anyone know about it.”

“That was just one of your mistakes,” Duge sighed, “The second mistake was that after the Origin of Mankind was exposed, you chose to bury your head in the sand, placing your hope for survival on the fact that the Thorne Divine Tribe didn’t receive any signal.”

“What is burying your head in the sand?” Kaska asked.

“It’s when someone covers his ears to steal a bell, thinking that if he can’t hear the bell, others can’t hear it either,” Duge explained.

Kaska’s face suddenly reddened. Although he was reluctant to admit it, what Duge said made too much sense.

What difference did it make now from closing his eyes and pretending that the Thorne Divine Tribe would not attack?

“Kaska, a true warrior dares to confront any formidable enemy,” Duge looked at Kaska, his eyes exceptionally resolute, “We must prepare to fight the Thorne Divine Tribe. Your planet was destroyed by the Thorne Divine Tribe. You wouldn’t want to see another innocent planet go down the same path, would you!”

Moreover, the disaster on Emperor Star was caused by you. Without the Origin of Mankind, over seventy billion innocent people on Emperor Star would have continued to live happily ever after…"

“It’s my fault,” Kaska said guiltily, hanging his head, “At that time, my spaceship ran out of energy and I had no choice but to make an emergency landing on this planet.”

“Kaska, you constantly claim to be the strongest warrior of your race, but in my view, you are truly a coward,” Duge shook his head, “Your last fellow tribesmen died covering for you, yet you lacked the courage to die alongside the Thorne Divine Tribe. Even in an emergency landing, you chose a planet with life…”

“I…” Kaska was at a loss for words, being a man of few words, how could he possibly argue with a glib talker like Duge!

“Kaska, although you’ve made many mistakes, it’s not too late now, we still have three months to correct the mistakes,” Duge said.

“Kou Nan, whatever needs to be done, I’ll follow your lead,” Kaska lifted his head again, his fists clenched, “The disaster on Emperor Star was caused by me, I’ll bear the consequences of my mistakes, even if it costs me my life.”

“Kaska, no matter what cause the future disaster on Emperor Star. It has already happened, blaming someone doesn’t help. What we need is to face it, you need to seek revenge for your planet, and I need to protect Emperor Star. We now have a common enemy, the Thorne Divine Tribe.”

Duge spoke with righteous indignation, “Destroying the high and mighty Thorne Divine Tribe aligns with the interests of us all.”

“Kou Nan, I too wish to destroy the Thorne Divine Tribe, but they are too powerful,” Kaska shook his head in despair, “The Origin of Mankind is too important to the Thorne Divine Tribe, they will send at least one fleet. Compared to the Thorne Divine Tribe, Emperor Star is just a toddler learning to walk.”

“We have it,” Duge pointed again at the Origin of Mankind.

“The Origin of Mankind?” Kaska was stunned, “What do you plan to do with it?”

“Use its full power,” Duge’s eyes sparkled, “Kaska, if the Origin of Mankind could create one Thorne Divine Tribe, it could create a second.”

“No,” Kaska reflexively rejected, “Taking the Origin of Mankind out will definitely be detected by the Thorne Divine Tribe.”

“Kaska, don’t bet on so-called luck,” Duge said, “Rather than being uneasy about whether the Thorne Divine Tribe will come or not, it’s better to use the Origin of Mankind openly and make it a fait accompli. Cut off all your paths of retreat, and create a situation where fighting is the only option.”

“What do you mean?” Kaska asked.

“When the only option other than fighting is death, everyone will fight desperately,” Duge explained, “Kaska, when the Thorne Divine Tribe attacked your planet, where there some who wanted to surrender, some who wanted to flee, some who wanted to fight, and some who wanted peace?”

“…” Kaska’s eyes widened, “How did you know?”

“It’s because of those various and conflicting thoughts that you couldn’t unite to oppose the Thorne Divine Tribe and ended up defeated,” Duge sighed, “If at that time, everyone on your planet knew that the Thorne Divine Tribe would annihilate every member of your race, would everyone have picked up arms to resist?

If you all had the resolve to fight the Thorne Divine Tribe, even if you couldn’t defeat them, and were determined to inflict heavy losses on them, perhaps your race would not have been exterminated.”

Kaska’s emotions, which had been high, suddenly became depressed, his eyes filled with pain: “You’re right, when the Thorne Divine Tribe attacked, the entire planet was in chaos.”

He shook his head, driving out the pain, restoring his calm, “Kou Nan, how do you plan to use the Origin of Mankind? Removing the Isolation Barrier of the Origin of Mankind might allow more people to undergo mutations, but three months is far from enough for these mutants to grow. To defeat the Thorne Divine Tribe, we need stronger weapons and fleets…”
