Chapter 589: Chapter 462: Contempt (Part 2)
The members of the Spiritual Race below all felt an unbearable sense of humiliation, their eyes reddened with anger.
The Spiritual Ability King suddenly raised his voice several octaves, "What we need is not some food! Not a mere living space! What we need is the dignity of our race! The dignity of an entire race cannot be achieved by avoiding disasters or begging and protesting, but through iron and blood! So, are you willing to fight to the death with me for the Spiritual Race?"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight for our race!"
"Fight for our great king!"
The members of the Spiritual Race responded passionately to their king!
The Spiritual Ability King, seeing the rallying was almost complete, slowly spoke the final words, "I am proud, for among our race, there are very few without backbone. Before me stands a race with unyielding blood flowing for tens of millions of years! This blood once flowed in the veins of our ancestors, who never submitted! Now, the indomitable will surges within us. Tell me, are you willing to let it cool?"
"No!"
"No!"
"No!"
The Spiritual Race had gone utterly mad!
The Spiritual Ability King raised the jeweled scepter high, "Only two things can unite a race: a shared ideal and a shared crime. We have the great ideal carved on the flag of the Spiritual Race’s planet, and we will shed the very last drop of blood in our bodies for this ideal!"
The Spiritual Ability King’s brilliant pre-battle motivational speech had concluded.
But its impact was not confined to the small Exia Sacred Land Plaza.
Because the entire Spiritual Race’s Mother Star was watching his fervent speech.
These scenes of fervor transmitted to every inch of the Spiritual Planet.
In an instant, the overwhelming emotions for war surged among these tens of billions of people on the Spiritual Planet.
They wished desperately to eliminate that peculiar creature immediately.
To destroy that inferior civilization which brought them disgrace.
To maintain the pride and dignity of the Spiritual Race!
Yes, the members of the Spiritual Race all knew that it was they who first wanted to eradicate that inferior civilization, thereby provoking a powerful enemy.
Yet, they were accustomed to barbarism, constantly bullying other cosmic races, feeling no sense of wrongdoing.
Instead, they harbored the mindset that if your race’s civilization is low, it deserves extermination by us.
If not exterminated, it is your race’s error, your race that brought us disgrace!
Such barbaric conduct is simply atrocious.
But no matter the case, the hearts of tens of billions on the Spiritual Planet were united as one.
They were determined to slay the invaders, and then annihilate that inferior civilization which brought them disgrace!
Every member of the Spiritual Race was prepared, having installed heavy energy cannons in their homes, just waiting for the enemy to invade and open fire.
They truly did not believe that with the power of tens of billions gathered, they could not stop a single invader!
...
Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance.
Balabamo and the leaders of numerous Steward Planets convened a meeting once more.
Just recently, every one of the Orion Arm Interstellar Alliance’s over a hundred Steward Planets had sent heavy weaponry to the Spiritual Race.
Even Balabamo, as the leader of the Night Cloud Race and the leader of the Orion Arm, had sent a stellar cannon.
To be honest, Balabamo also didn’t want to bring out banned weapons, but as the Supreme Leader of the Alliance, his failure to dispatch troops to aid the Spiritual Race had already invited criticism. If he didn’t provide some formidable weaponry, it could provoke even more ridicule from other Spiral Arm Interstellar Alliances, not to mention the Galaxy Alliance.
Thus, he had no choice but to send a stellar cannon to the Spiritual Race’s Mother Star.
Balabamo, gazing at the projections of the leaders from more than a hundred Steward Planets, slowly spoke, "Today is the day when that Planet Guardian God pledged to destroy the star system where the Spiritual Race’s Mother Star is located. What thoughts do you have? For instance, should we change our minds temporarily and send troops to help the Spiritual Race fight?"
The leader of Kala Star quickly said, "Didn’t you already send a stellar cannon to the Spiritual Race? If the stellar cannon can’t kill that Planet Guardian God, what significance would it have for us to dispatch more forces to assist?"
"Exactly." The leader of Noel Star agreed, "Though the stellar cannon cannot directly destroy a star, its released energy shockwave is terrifying. Once it hits a star, it can even instantly ignite all the matter inside the star. Such a weapon is classified as a banned type in any Interstellar Alliance. Now that the Spiritual Race wields such a truly stellar-grade weapon, if even that can’t be used against the Planet Guardian God, it would be useless for us to send more people."
"Yes." The leader of Palu Star agreed deeply, "Even without considering igniting potential, speaking solely on direct destructive power, the stellar cannon can instantly destroy a large gas giant planet. This energy impact is exceedingly potent. The key is that it can also ignite matter, leading me to wonder if that Planet Guardian God could withstand it."
"That Planet Guardian God possesses conceptual abilities, shouldn’t he be able to withstand it?"
"Hard to say, although conceptual abilities are strong, facing a powerful energy shockwave may not allow an opportunity to exert itself."
"Hmm, presently that Planet Guardian God has demonstrated the ability to vibrate the entire stellar system, yet it only lasted for a few seconds before halting. So whether he truly possesses the ability to destroy a stellar system is still open to question. The stellar cannon’s power might not be the strongest direct force weapon in our alliance, but it has the capability to ignite matter. As long as that Planet Guardian God still retains some material characteristics, even if not killed by a strong energy shockwave, there’s the possibility he could be destroyed by igniting material."
