A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

********************

......

The Zerg still have some sense of shame, so they delayed opening the Zerg StarNet to humans, waiting for the referendum on this case to be completed, to rectify the current Zerg atmosphere, and then open the Zerg StarNet to humans.

After two days of preparation, allowing the Zerg citizens to fully understand the situation on the human side, and after the humans officially held a ceremony to establish diplomatic relations on October 1st.

The Crown Prince's true intentions were revealed.

Riding the wave of enthusiasm generated by establishing diplomatic relations with humanity on the StarNet, a royal announcement was pushed out to all users on the StarNet.

[The Imperial Special Court previously received a lawsuit filed by a male insectoid spirit who severely injured a female soldier, rendering her incapable of combat. Given that the Alt marriage case involves the fundamental law of the Empire, the StarNet government platform is now authorized to launch a nationwide referendum. Case files, medical records, and statements from both parties will be made publicly available online starting at 15:00 today. The referendum will last for 48 hours, and the results will have the highest legal effect.]

In an instant, a single stone stirred up a thousand waves.

......

The Crown Prince had just returned to the mountaintop villa area and hadn't even had time to change out of his full uniform when he received a report from Bambo that the Speaker of the Council, Invika, had requested a communication.

You can't sit still anymore?

The Crown Prince found a sofa and sat down, then snapped his fingers at Bambo: "Connect."

As the Crown Prince, how could he refuse to answer the ministers' requests?

Let him see what other nonsense this old fire ant, the council chairman, can spew.

The communication was established. The red-haired female insect on the other end of the screen was still impeccably dressed, but her breathing was clearly unsteady; she was probably quite exasperated. Her first words were:

"Your Highness, why do you want to hold a national referendum?"

"Good afternoon, President Invika. What's wrong with holding a referendum? Isn't a referendum a normal thing?" The Crown Prince sat calmly. "Article One of the Imperial Constitution: Referendums apply to all major disputes involving the fundamental law."

"No!" The leader of the Red Fire Ant Council exclaimed, his face grim. "Those females will—"

"What would they do?" The Crown Prince couldn't help but laugh. "Tell the truth? Rebel? Punish the male insects that harm their own kind?"

"Bambo, bring the technical team here." The Crown Prince directly ordered Bambo to bring up the holographic star map, with the imperial territory rotating in the center of the lounge.

"Within three hours, all case data will be uploaded to the StarNet and projected into every planet and every corner of the Empire's territory. The referendum will last for 48 hours, and no one is allowed to stop it."

"Your Highness!" Council Speaker Invika demanded sharply, "Are you determined to overthrow the current gender hierarchy in Liernia?"

"On what grounds are you questioning me, President Invica?"

"From the parliamentary speaker's perspective! You're shattering the social order that Liernia has finally managed to stabilize!"

"Oh, that's easy. Prepare three statements," the Crown Prince said to Bambo. "A referendum for divorce, against divorce, and..."

He glanced at Speaker Invika's pale face and smiled: "The contingency plan for a tie-breaker referendum states: everything is based solely on the law and has nothing to do with gender."

The referendum declaration has already been issued, and no one can stop it now. He wants to see who can save this male today.

"Your Highness!"

Bambo had already brought up the holographic keyboard and quickly typed: "Yes, Your Highness."

The Crown Prince scratched his ear: "Chairman Invika, you're being too loud. What kind of behavior is this if someone hears us?"

Speaker Vika breathed heavily. His chest heaved, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Bambo reported: "Your Highness, the president of the Xiongbao Association just posted an update on the StarNet."

A golden emblem of the Male Protection Association popped up on the holographic screen, with the text below flashing: "The rights of male insects are inviolable."

"Let him post it." The Crown Prince made a gesture as if to press the screen's shutdown button. "Speaker Invika, I'm going to the live broadcast room now. Hang up if there's nothing else."

Bambo's communicator suddenly emitted a red alert. After checking, Bambo reported, "Your Highness, the Xiongbao Association's president's residence has dispatched twelve hovercars, all heading towards the Supreme Court."

"Let him go. As if the Supreme Court can do anything to me."

"Your Highness! The Deputy Finance Minister is attempting to bribe dissenting votes!"

"Issue an emergency royal decree to freeze all assets of the Corwin family."

"Your Highness, aren't you worried that the nobles might riot?" Speaker Invika, who hadn't yet hung up the call, said in a deep, deliberate voice.

"Why did the nobles riot? Because of a no-longer-rare, violent, useless male insect that can injure and cripple females? Do you think they're stupid?"

The Crown Prince chuckled.

"But he's a native male of our species!"

"That's why we need a referendum. If he weren't a native male, I would have killed him long ago."

The Crown Prince pressed his fingerprint, activating the special royal court's authority, and the holographic national emblem unfolded as if burning in the air.

"Bambo, start the live stream."

"Alright!" Bamba quickly got to work.

The moment the camera flashed red, the StarNet referendum page went live.

"Citizens of the Empire."

The Crown Prince glanced at the invisible teleprompter floating in the air, felt that the words written on it were not good enough, too wordy, and waved it aside, saying he didn't want it.

He stated bluntly, "Today, you will jointly adjudicate the law."

"You know the beginning of what happened four hundred years ago, and you know the beginning of what happened today. It is up to you to decide whether what happened four hundred years ago and what happened today can be discussed together. If the male insect was innocent four hundred years ago, then the male insect is also innocent in today's events."

Laugh to death.

Who cares if these pretentious males are depressed or dying? These males deserve to die, it wouldn't be a pity if they all died tomorrow.

During the case, General Kelly's injury reports were displayed behind him, with holographic images projecting every wound onto each terminal.

When sending the report on his wing injury, they deliberately paused, giving the StarNet enough time to capture the keywords.

General Kelly's wings were burned off.

The male insect had a million ways to remove his wings, but he chose to burn them.

To let an insect watch helplessly as its only wing is burned away and turned to ashes.

Litter bug.

"In forty-eight hours, the Royal Special Court will carry out your will."

The Crown Prince turned off the camera after he finished speaking.

The moment the camera was turned off, the monitor screen showed that the real-time vote count instantly exceeded 100 million.

The blue bars supporting divorce are crushing the red bars at rocket speed.

The contrasting red is almost invisible.

The council president's side suddenly fell silent, clearly indicating that he had already foreseen the outcome. But when Lan looked over, all she saw was his repulsive, half-smiling expression.
