Ephemeral clouds and works

Chapter 1169: Showing Weakness and Negotiation

    

I know you resent me, but we are still father and son after all. You have my blood in your veins. Let's talk again when you've calmed down."Without waiting for Lianyi's reply, he turned and left, his...The entire screen was ablaze with red lotus fire, illuminating the entire starry sky. It spread silently and rapidly in all directions, as if everything else was forbidden, only ripples stood on a giant crimson lotus flower in the starry sky.

At this time, Lian Yi was also suffering. The consciousness of the業火紅蓮 was still asleep, and she could only control it with her divine sense. She could feel the deep sin on her body was the best nourishment for the red lotus業火. The業火 was burning these spiritual bodies with its innate ability, and spreading outwards, slowly dragging Lian Yi's divine sense.

Just as the ripples' awareness felt a dull pain, the consciousnesses at the front were almost entirely burned away. The remaining consciousnesses realized they had encountered their nemesis and fled at top speed.

Then the ripples, face pale, withdrew her Crimson Lotus Inferno. Whirlwind, ever attuned to her master's state, immediately sensed something amiss and leaped to Ripple's side.

"Master, I will take you back to rest."

The ripples at this time were already too weak to speak, they only nodded their head and then rode the whirlwind.

The storm effortlessly went to General Quinn's command ship.

All the soldiers on the flagship who saw the ripples stood at attention and saluted, because the dispatched specialized consciousness regulation fighters and star beast squad had not yet arrived. They encountered a strong attack again, and the situation was urgent, so they requested assistance from the First Army. It can be said that Major He single-handedly saved them from danger.

Major Quinn didn't put on airs; he personally came forward with his adjutant.

"Headmaster He, you've worked hard! How are you"

"I'm mentally drained."

Her face was as white as a sheet, she told the truth, if this happened again, she'd be dead for sure.

Quinn looked at Ripples' face and knew that Colonel He had truly done everything in his power to help the Second Army hold the line. He immediately said:

"I'll have my lieutenant take you to the infirmary to rest. They have high-grade mental soothing solution there that can calm your psychic energy."

After finishing his words, he waved his hand at the officer behind him. The officer immediately took the man and the beast to the medical room.

Ripple didn't try to be strong this time. She directly lay down in the high-grade medical pod, while Cyclone stayed inside the medical room, guarding his master without leaving his side.

The aide immediately returned to report, and Quinn also immediately contacted the 718th Fleet's flagship, explaining Ripples' situation and assuring them that they would help Ripples recover their mental energy.

Thomas could only say that capable people are welcomed everywhere. Ripple's move, a Crimson Lotus raining down from the sky, had spread across the Star Network at an unbelievable speed, making her a rising star in the Interstellar Alliance.

Xiaoliu knew that after Lianshi's psychic power was damaged, she had some thoughts. She was thinking about whether to take a gamble and give herself a body.

Suddenly, I felt a surge of oppressive power, followed by high-frequency vibrations that almost tore Six apart. The data I had fused with also began to disintegrate.

"Little Six, don't have any crooked thoughts. Your master isn't an ordinary interstellar alliance citizen. You can try replacing her and see what happens."

The stone mill gleamed menacingly.

This is what Lianyi said to Shiju before falling into a coma. Her consciousness was damaged because she used her ultimate move. If she didn't wake up, Xiaoliu would have another thought and invade her sea of consciousness. Then, Shiju would take her back to the Time Management Bureau when Xiaoliu entered her sea of consciousness. She would give up her current body but wouldn't leave a dangerous factor in the Intergalactic Alliance.

Even when back at the Temporal Management Bureau, even if it came to severing souls, Ripple wouldn't let this consciousness entity take advantage of her. She believed there were plenty of ways within the Bureau to deal with Little Six.

Shiju didn't want to fail this test mission like the ripples did, so when Xiaoliu extended a tentative tentacle, Shiju directly threatened the other.

Xiao Liu was dumbfounded. He calculated for half a day before confirming that Lian Yi had a higher-level program on her, one that could instantly kill him. He immediately chickened out.

"Relax, I didn't do anything. I was just observing the extent of Ripples' divine consciousness recovery."

Xiao Liu immediately retracted its tentacles and nestled obediently on the bracelet, pretending to be a quail.

Since Ripples had made great contributions, she was given the highest grade mental energy soothing liquid and afterward, various other liquids that aided in mental energy recovery were also administered to her. Five days later, Ripples left the medical bay.

There are many good things about the Alliance. Lianyi's recovery this time is quite good, not only has her divine consciousness been repaired, but it has also been slightly expanded. This time, using Crimson Lotus Hellfire on a large scale should not cause the situation like last time again.

The ripples also learned about Xiao Liu's probe from the stone mill. She just snorted coldly and didn't say much, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with Xiao Liu later.

After that incident, Xiao Liu became even more obedient. He followed instructions diligently and never went against them. He was so well-behaved that even the dogs didn't dare to chase chickens. He worked hard to fulfill his role to the best of his ability and even contributed to the process of integrating with the program. All he wanted was lenient treatment.

All of this is history. Back to the present, this attack made both the consciousness entities and the Octuvians increasingly agitated. However, unable to break through the lines and suffering heavy losses, they could only temporarily retreat and begin negotiations with the Interstellar Alliance, hoping to turn hostility into amity.

At this time, members of the opposition organization stepped forward, calling on Federal citizens to give the Oktevsians a chance for redemption and allow them to exchange their technology for a new habitat. This deal seemed mutually beneficial on the surface, but the military disapproved.

"We are the victors now, even in negotiations, the rules are ours to set. What if this is just a delaying tactic on their part"

"Or perhaps the other side would take advantage of the situation to allow their consciousnesses to enter the Alliance's territory. Once that happens, it will be unstoppable! Who will be responsible for the safety of the Alliance citizens then Truly, they are speaking without feeling the pain!"

Major Quinn was the first to speak out against it. He, more than anyone, had directly fought the Octuvians and the entities, knew firsthand the horror they represented. He didn't want his troops to be used as pawns by these politicians.

They're simply delusional, trading technology for nothing What are they trading for They've died out, all their technology is ours. We don't have to pay a thing, just let those brilliant scientists decipher it.

Major General Yu Hua of the Third Army Corps spoke in a loud and gruff voice.

The rest of the officials also agreed with Quinn and Yu Hua's statements. In their view, as long as they defeated the enemy, everything belonging to the enemy would be theirs for the taking; there was no need to sit down and negotiate at all.

Here, military high-ranking officials reached a consensus and immediately responded to the coalition government.

Actually, there are two factions within the government. One faction believes that there's no need for negotiation and that they should simply crush their opponents with force, taking everything through sheer power.

Another group of people believe this is an opportunity to showcase the galactic alliance's love, tolerance, and strength, and to establish a good image for itself among the stars. Therefore, they advocate for sitting down and negotiating.

"Come on, are there really people who don't understand this In any fight between two sides, there is always a winner and a loser. Why so much back-and-forth"

ripples was looking at Xiao Liu's captured military intelligence, muttering to herself.

"The master is right!"

Little Six now also calls Ripple "Master".

Who started it on the government's side

"Wu Tianxing's father is Wu Duyu (yu)."oice."Elder Six, it was my own carelessness. When I left Lotus House, a magic circle sent me here."Ripple explained.George turned his head to look at the Lian family. His violet eyes flashed, and he s...
