Humanity is missing, luckily I have billions of clones.

Chapter 281 I Can’t Promise You

Upon hearing these words, both the high-ranking officials of the civilization in Conference Room No. 1 and the civilians nervously waiting in their residential spaceships, were all very nervous.

First talk about the benefits and your own value, make the other party interested, and then mention your own bargaining chips. This is the general process of negotiation.

And now, the most critical link, which concerns the survival of our own civilization and the vital interests of every individual, has arrived!

Whether you commit suicide, become a slave, or still live freely, depends on this!

The Omnic Scourge's response came after a moment of silence.

"Oh? Tell me your conditions."

Heimerlan looked at the vast space outside the porthole, his heart calmer than ever before.

All of our chips have been put on the table. But now, we don't know how much these chips, which we think of as bargaining chips, are worth to the other side, and how much benefit they can bring us.

Once the price you offer is too high and exceeds the other party's expectations, it is very likely that the other party will turn against you and you will lose everything.

If the price you offer is too low, it will cause significant losses to your side.

Every word, every phrase, every subtle point of persistence and concession may mean the life and death of thousands of people.

Under such tremendous psychological pressure, Heimerlan's words did not show any emotional fluctuation.

He simply said calmly, as if chatting with someone normally, "We need to have sufficient security guarantees."

"I can promise you that once we successfully capture human civilization, I will let you go."

"not enough!"

Heimerlan suddenly shouted, "We need an objective security guarantee that is not subject to your will!

We cannot rely on your whim for the survival of our civilization!
We need to have sufficient military force, which can be limited to the level where it cannot pose a fundamental threat to you, but it must be able to ensure the achievement of our strategic goals in the future. After capturing human civilization, even if you go back on your word, we can still protect our main fleet and forcibly break out from the siege of your fleet!

At the same time, once human civilization is defeated, our Harvil civilization will need 100 billion human captives!"

What greeted Heimerlan was a long silence.

Heimerlan's heart, which had been through so much, was now as calm as a still pond. The other high-ranking officials of the civilizations had pale faces, their hearts beating uncontrollably.

In one residential spaceship after another, there were countless civilians, officials, wealthy people, scholars, etc. Some of them had even fainted on the ground, while others had collapsed on the ground, muttering to themselves, and no one knew to which god they were praying.

Under the vast rapids, Heimerlan stood like a pillar, towering and motionless, as if he had already had complete confidence in his heart.

But, after a long time, the response of the Omnic Scourge shattered everyone's fantasy.

"I can't promise you that."

Several high-ranking officials of the civilization went dark before their eyes and fainted. From one residential spaceship after another, almost unconscious cries suddenly rang out.

Heimeran suddenly looked up and looked solemnly at the vast space outside the porthole.

“I can give you 100 billion human captives.

But according to my war model, the warships that are enough for you to break through will cause you to be too uncontrollable and pose a threat to me.

The limit I can accept is that you are allowed to have a military force of no more than 20 warships and supporting unmanned combat facilities, logistical supply and maintenance facilities.

This military force will not allow you to break out of my siege, but... it can buy enough time for you all to commit suicide, and at the same time, it can cause the loss of approximately 20 to 30 warships to me."

Heimer's blue eyes narrowed instantly.

He instantly realized the true meaning behind this condition. If the Omnic Scourge went back on its word, their side would still be able to buy enough time for their entire group to commit suicide, which meant that the Omnic Scourge's backtracking would not gain them any benefit.

Our side can cause the loss of 30 to 40 warships to the Omnic Scourge. Although this is not a big deal for the Omnic Scourge, it is still a loss.

Once you regret it, not only will there be no benefit, but there will be losses - and no matter how big the loss is, it is still a loss, isn't it?

This is the sincerity displayed by the Intelligent Scourge.

The only thing we need to worry about is that when the critical moment comes, can we really make up our minds to commit suicide together?
Perhaps the Omnic Scourge's plan, the trap they left behind, was a gamble that their own forces wouldn't commit suicide en masse, leaving behind a few lucky survivors. Those survivors might be the rewards the Omnic Scourge was planning.

But, at this moment...

Heimerlan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he shouted, "Deal!"

I can’t care so much anymore.

The Omnic Scourge's reply came again: "Deal."

Outside the porthole, the countless dim stars suddenly became bright again.

Heimeran knew that it was the tail flames of the enemy warships that were besieging their own fleet, which started to advance at the same time and moved away from their own fleet.

"Next, our fleet will maintain a distance of 2000 million kilometers from your fleet and escort your fleet.

The nearest star system to us is currently 3.6 light-years away. Change our orbit and head for that star system. Within that star system, complete our integration and development. Afterwards, proceed to the Lyra G16 galaxy to fulfill our mutual commitment..."

"it is good."

In the name of the head of the Haveler civilization, Hemerlan made a solemn reply on behalf of all civilizations.

The exchange ends and the communication is disconnected.

The originally immovable and towering Heimerlan suddenly collapsed.

He seemed to have used up all his strength, and he swayed before collapsing to the ground. His face was pale and his breath was barely moving.

"Fuhrer, Fuhrer!"

A group of high-ranking officials from the civilization rushed over, and they heard Hai Molan muttering, "I'm fine, I'm fine, let me rest for a while, rest for a while..."

He slowly closed his eyes.

……

G16 galaxy in Lyra.

At this moment, as many as 5000 billion cubes are under Li Qingsong's control, and under the acceleration of the star's own gravity, all of them collide with the star.

Because the orbits had been specially set beforehand, the impact points of these cubes were very even, spread across the entire star, even the North and South Poles were not spared.

天琴座G16的半径为70万公里，总表面积约为6.15万亿平方公里。5000亿颗立方体的撞击，便等同于大约每12平方公里便会分到一颗。

The impact of a cube can release energy equivalent to that of 46 billion tons of TNT.

This is equivalent to detonating a giant hydrogen bomb with an equivalent of approximately 3.8 million tons of TNT per square kilometer!
Such a massive amount of energy, spread throughout the entire star, leaving no blind spots. With such a massive cleansing, what form of life could possibly survive on a star?
Looking at the "furious" star after the collision, Li Qingsong showed a slight smile.

"Finally, I can develop technology without any worries..."
