Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

The emperor leaned back in his chair, looked at the five ministers before him who were still skeptical, and sighed.

"I know you don't believe me." He rubbed his temples.

"If I were you, I wouldn't believe it either, but I saw it with my own eyes. That person... no, that being, his power is real."

This is indeed a bizarre thing; only those who have witnessed it firsthand can truly understand it.

The Minister of Industry said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, you said that person can tear through space and condense the phantom of a planet in the palm of his hand. This kind of power is indeed beyond our understanding."

He paused, his tone becoming more cautious: "But precisely because of this, we need to be even more cautious. What if it's some higher-dimensional life form, or a civilization from another planet..."

"I agree." The Minister of Resources nodded. "We cannot trust them too easily. If it is a conspiracy by some alien life form to invade, our entire goblin world will be doomed."

The Minister of Genetics echoed, "There are precedents in history. Those who claim to be gods have eventually been exposed as frauds. This time might be the same."

The emperor looked at the Minister of Astronomy.

The Minister of Astronomy, who had remained silent until now, slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, I believe you have witnessed a powerful being, but I still believe that we cannot easily believe it to be a god."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Since that person is aware of the impending doom and claims to be able to save the world, let's wait three days and see what his true purpose is."

The Minister of Astronomy adjusted his glasses.

"Moreover... he said he would demonstrate a miracle. Since it's a miracle, he certainly wouldn't be able to fool us with some minor magic tricks. At that time, we can take the opportunity to analyze the source of his power."

He paused, then emphasized, "Moreover, I have always felt that he is a 'false god'."

"Why?" the emperor asked.

"Because it requires faith," the Minister of Astronomy said.

"For thousands of years, countless 'gods' have appeared in the goblin world. They used the name of gods to achieve their own unspeakable secrets. But do true gods need the faith of mortals?"

His gaze swept over the other ministers.

"Would true gods, capable of creating the world, even deign to look upon us ants? Only false gods use miracles to gain followers and achieve their own ends!"

The Minister of Science and Technology's eyes lit up: "Yes! This analysis makes sense!"

The emperor frowned: "So what do you mean?"

"What I mean is, regardless of whether he is a god or not, what he wants is very clear—faith," the Minister of Astronomy said.

"He gave us a choice: to believe in Him and he would protect us. We can choose to accept this choice or not."

"If we don't accept this, what other options do we have?" the emperor asked.

The Minister of Astronomy remained silent.

The Minister of Science and Technology gritted his teeth: "Your Majesty, we still have science and technology."

"Technology?" The emperor smiled wryly. "What can you create in five years?"

"At least we can build a spaceship to escape," the science minister said.

"The Explorer spacecraft has been a success. The next step is manned spacecraft. If resources are allocated accordingly, it is not impossible to build an interstellar spacecraft that can accommodate a thousand people within five years."

"One thousand people." The emperor shook his head. "Billions of subjects, only one thousand to choose? Who would you choose to go?"

The science minister was speechless.

The Minister of Genetics whispered:

"Your Majesty, we also have gene warriors. If we select the best genes and combine them with embryo freezing technology, we can take away even more... Theoretically, we could take away 100,000 embryos."

"That's the same problem," the emperor interrupted him. "Whom to choose, and whom not to choose? What will happen when the people find out the truth?"

No one can answer that.

The Minister of Industry took a deep breath and slowly began, "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

The emperor looked at him and said, "Speak."

"We can prepare properly in these three days," the Minister of Industry said in a deep and powerful voice.

"Concentrate the most advanced weapons within the imperial city, and deploy all available forces."

He clenched his fist: "If possible, we'll take down that so-called 'god' right here and now!"

"If we can capture him, we might be able to force him to reveal his true purpose and see if he actually has a way to deal with the meteorite. If he's just bluffing, then we can eliminate this threat directly."

The emperor narrowed his eyes: "What if...his power is beyond imagination?"

The Minister of Industry paused for a moment, then continued, "Then let's prepare for both scenarios."

"The first step: outwardly submit to that 'god' and make the people believe in him, giving them the faith they want."

"The Destroyer meteor will be discovered by the people sooner or later, and that will inevitably cause great chaos."

"With such a 'god' around, even if we can't find a way out, at least we can give people hope, give them something to rely on, and keep them calm."

He paused, then lowered his voice: "And... if he really is a god, perhaps he can truly protect us."

"Second move: secretly accelerate technological research and development. After the Explorer returned, immediately analyze the data and push forward the interstellar spacecraft project with all our might."

"If we can find a habitable planet, and if we can build enough spaceships, we will have another way."

"Even if we can only take a few people with us in the end, at least... at least the goblin race won't be wiped out."

After he finished speaking, the secret room remained silent for a long time.

The emperor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and looked at the five ministers.

"It's settled then."

He stood up, walked to the wall, and pressed a hidden button.

The metal panel on the wall was flipped open, revealing rows of control panels.

"Pass down the order: prepare to welcome the 'miracle'! All defense systems of the imperial city are to enter maximum combat readiness!"

"Well... since the other side is performing a miracle in the capital, we shouldn't use weapons of mass destruction."

"As for the meteorite... don't reveal it to the public for now." His voice suddenly turned cold. "Anyone who dares to leak it will have their entire family executed."

The five ministers rose at the same time and bowed in greeting.

Behind them, Lynn, who had been listening in, also completely disappeared.

...

Three days is enough time for Lynn to do a lot of things.

To showcase this "miracle," it's necessary to significantly increase one's visibility and influence, so it can't be limited to just the imperial city.

Imperial City, Steel City, Steam Fortress, Gear Town, Furnace City, Energy Hub.

He personally visited all six of the most prosperous main cities in the goblin world.

He carved a magic array at the highest point of the city, carefully adjusting the angle of each rune with his mental power to ensure they could activate at the same time.

The functions of these magic arrays are simple: projection transmission, projection amplification, sound diffusion, and energy resonance.

That's right, he wanted to make himself appear in several major cities at the same time.

No need for attack or defense; all that's needed is for all the goblins to see and hear him clearly.
