Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

Is it excessive to use romance to win over an entire alien race into your own henchmen, tools, and fighting force?

To be honest, in the past, the Federation of Humanity would have considered it a disgrace to even have an equal dialogue with aliens, let alone sit down and discuss "how to get along with aliens".

Exclusion, hardline stance, human supremacy, and the belief that those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions are ironclad rules engraved in every law of the United Nations.

But what's playing out in the sky right now?

They transformed the Tyranids, who devoured everything in their path, into a loyal guard.

It turned the galaxy's greatest threat to destruction into a weapon of war for humanity.

It smells absolutely amazing.

The speaker tapped the table, his face ashen, but his voice betrayed his trembling:

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the core principles of the Human Federation, any alien is an object that must be purified, expelled, enslaved, or eliminated. There is absolutely no peaceful coexistence, let alone any emotional connection."

The problem now is—

A military general slammed his fist on the table, his eyes gleaming, his tone rough and blunt:

"Stop with the nonsense! What are the Tyranids? They're top-tier combat forces capable of crushing planets and devouring fleets! And now that combat force has become human! Doesn't that sound amazing?!"

"fragrant!"

Many members of parliament blurted out the words without thinking, then hurriedly covered their mouths and pretended to be serious.

The speaker's face darkened further: "Mind your stance! We are the Human Federation, not an interspecies marriage federation! Dating aliens is utterly disgraceful! It's a desecration of human blood!"

The diplomatic representative coughed lightly, his tone very pragmatic:

“Speaker, that’s true… but he wasn’t assimilated by the Zerg; instead, he assimilated them. Genetic suppression, consciousness unification, and the entire race’s submission—this isn’t compromise; this is conquest.”

"It's still the ultimate conquest with zero cost, zero casualties, and the entire race taken away in one go."

An ethics committee member suddenly stood up and spoke sternly:

"This is deception! This is manipulating an entire intelligent race through emotions! This is outrageous! This is a disgrace to civilization!"

The military general immediately retorted:

"Why didn't you say anything when the Tyranids were eating planets? Now they're helping humanity protect their homeland, and you're talking to me about ethics? Wait until the Tyranids are devouring your doorstep, then you can talk to them about morality!"

"Besides, when has the Human Federation ever cared about the feelings of the aliens?"

The ethics committee member was momentarily speechless, his face turning bright red.

The head of the science department adjusted his glasses and calmly added insult to injury:

"From a biological perspective, this individual human underwent a special dominant mutation in his genes, which enabled him to suppress the collective consciousness. Simply put, he conquered the inferior race by virtue of his own advantages."

"In the context of natural evolution, this is called survival of the fittest."

"Put it in the UN's national policy... this is called the ultimate victory of human supremacy."

The parliament hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone was experiencing a frantic internal struggle.

On one hand, there is a deep-seated xenophobia, arrogance, and human supremacy, with the belief that being associated with aliens is degrading, absurd, and politically incorrect.

On one hand, there is the ultimate temptation of the Tyranids' combat power—the ultimate power that can sweep across the galaxy, crush all aliens, and allow the Human Alliance to instantly become the overlord of the galaxy.

It smells so good, so delicious!

The aroma was so enticing that even though they wanted to criticize it, they couldn't utter a single harsh word.

A young member of parliament couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"So... was he really going too far?"

The entire room fell silent.

After a long pause, the speaker wearily sat back down in his chair, his tone extremely complex, almost forcing out a single sentence through clenched teeth:

"...The methods used were indecent."

"But the result was extraordinary."

"Don't mention the words 'dating' again next time."

"A unified narrative—this is humanity's high-level dominance in combating the aliens."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

They saved face, explained the rationale, and even coveted the combat power.

As for whether it's excessive or not...

That's hard to say.

In any case, the Zerg are just cannon fodder for humanity!

Chapter 62 The Day the Gods Are Liberated

A guy who can conquer the Zerg would be considered a formidable force anywhere.

no way.

No matter the race, they cannot imagine the scene of mating with the Zerg.

Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't have any particular thoughts about insects.

Ok……

I think so?

Before people could discuss these intriguing questions, a new scene appeared on the sky.

………………

Do you know what gods are?

Do you know how gods came to be?

Do you have the courage to go and slay a god?

God?

This word is truly captivating.

The shadows of deities have appeared many times in the previous scenes depicted in the sky.

The four evil gods of the Warhammer world... the five great evil gods.

A star god who has reached the pinnacle in the world of Collapsed Iron and possesses unparalleled power.

In the Star World, the powerful beings in the Void Realm... oh, these should be considered creatures in special environments.

……

All of these things probably bear the name of "God".

In the past, such a person with the word "god" in their name would have been enough to inspire fear and awe.

But now it seems that once most people are understood, the sense of awe diminishes considerably.

Simply put, it's about demystifying.

However, even so, the question of "how gods are born" still arouses strong curiosity among all viewers.

Even though in the eyes of most people in the world, God is no longer synonymous with omniscience and omnipotence, it still represents the ultimate power in the universe.

Which civilization doesn't want to hold the ultimate trump card that can control its destiny?

The final phrase, "slaying gods," has inspired countless beings to ponder and anticipate its meaning.

To date, the "death of God" has never actually appeared in any of the content displayed on the screen.

Those special creatures in the virtual realm are not included; their ability to interfere with the real world is far too limited, and they cannot be considered gods in the true sense.

…………

The camera suddenly zooms in, moving from the starry sky to a planet, and then to a continent within it.

As the camera zoomed in, viewers discovered what appeared to be several rings of unusual mechanical structures on the planet's outer perimeter, outside its atmosphere.

What is that?

Let's go back to the most basic question.

What is God?

In the understanding of most civilizations, God is the creator, the supreme being who controls destiny, and an unattainable realm for mortals.

But this world... no, not just this planet, but the entire universe is different.

First, we need to redefine [the concept/method].

The "gods" of this world are neither creators nor the supreme beings originally present in the universe.

Deities are products of the collective consciousness of intelligent civilizations. They are supernatural consciousnesses formed by the long-term aggregation and sedimentation of a race's beliefs, desires, fears, and other factors in the soul.

In other words, in this universe, civilization came first, then gods.

First came life, then divinity; first came thought, then divinity.

Gods do not create the world, nor do they create living beings or laws. They are merely "secondary beings" born from the combined forces of world rules and civilized consciousness.

A low murmur resounded simultaneously in countless worlds, carrying both sudden realization and a chilling unease.

When Tianmu explained the Warhammer universe before, he had already mentioned a similar logic.

Could it be that... all the gods in all worlds are essentially like this?

Like a parasite, it is born from the emotions, desires, and worship of living beings.

Is it a shadow of civilization, or a symbiotic entity of civilization?

Or even... monsters nurtured by civilization?

In fact, from the moment the Warhammer universe appeared on the sky, countless worlds began to secretly examine themselves, studying whether similar existences existed in their own universes.

This vigilance reached its peak, especially after the appearance of the illusory creatures in the Star World.

At this moment, those who feel it most deeply and react most strongly are undoubtedly the many interstellar civilizations in the Star World.
