Chapter 564: Can I understand your structure?

~10 min read 1,978 words

A new civilization actually possesses strong resilience and resistance. They should have knelt down obediently, but unexpectedly, after the Humans arrived, they kept pulling and tugging, tossing and turning—not refusing, yet not agreeing. Every time they were pressured, they would say they would handle it immediately, only to then find some clause in the Galaxy Contract to stall and drag things out.

He had thought it would be a matter settled quickly, but Shamoku had been dragging it out for a month. He was just fretting over the lack of an excuse, and unexpectedly, the Humans delivered one to him—they wanted extreme pressure!

Moreover, Shamoku received news that those acting this time were high-level Human Warriors, champions of the Human Mecha competition, similar to the kings in the Lalutu Warrior Gladiator. This person's performance in the civilization war was also astonishing, which meant his actions carried a provocation toward the Lalutu Empire.

Total war was currently unlikely, but how would the Humans know? He could apply maximum pressure, or minimum. He needed to kill a batch of Humans to establish the Orcs' prestige, and it would be best to transport a batch of slaves back; the price of high-quality Humans on the black market was already quite astonishing.

Looking at the taciturn grafted-type Insectoid beside him, he revealed a look of disdain. This kind of defective product was just lucky, but once the Shou completed the actual occupation of Kepler, this piece of trash would be useless.

The Orcs were generally crude and vulgar, but at the leader level, roughness and mania were just a means to achieve an end. During this time, the Humans had served him very well; this appearance similar to the Celestial was very stunning, except the body was a bit weak and couldn't withstand much. After finishing, he glanced at Polina beside Romero; if Romero became useless in the future, he would definitely have to enjoy this little girl properly.

Polina felt Shamoku's gaze and looked back, revealing a charming yet weak smile. It made Shamoku's heart itch, but on the surface, he could suppress the impulse. Not to mention that Romero's strength was not weak—this hybrid's personal combat power had already exceeded the average Galaxy Warrior, though of course, he was still no match for him.

Maxis, Chao Qinglong, and Wuzang, while piloting standard Mecha, were actually not much worse than Romero. The problem with Mecha was that they would become a huge burden on the pilot under high gravity. If not for the help of the K23 Element, they could be exhausted to death. Yet even so, their combat power still dropped by a large margin. To sum it up, the Human body was still too weak at the cosmic level. It could function in a familiar environment like the Solar System, but the environment of other star systems was different. Unstable combat power also led to being at a disadvantage in the selection of Galaxy Warriors. Currently, the evaluation of Humans by warriors of other civilizations was: exquisite toys.

By comparison, Romero's Silicon-based Insectoid Body had a huge advantage.

Finally, the spaceship landed. It was clear that the passengers on the ship felt the atmosphere outside was not very good, and they all rushed to testify for Li Hao. Li Hao smiled, "Thank you all, but it's not needed. Luo Ziyang, escort everyone off the ship first."

In this kind of matter, what was important was fundamentally not evidence, nor right or wrong.

"Yes!" Luo Ziyang arranged for his team members to let everyone leave the spaceship in an orderly fashion. They walked at the very end, carrying two beaten, bruised-and-swollen diplomats and three corpses.

Shamoku's gaze had already swept over the corpses of his subordinates, and instantly, emotions surged to his head. These inferior creatures actually dared to commit such a murder. But soon, he smelled something different. There were no traces of thermal weapons on the three corpses, and ordinary thermal weapons could not cause fatal wounds to their bodies. These were heroic Lalutu warriors. His eyes narrowed; the Orcs' vision was very good. He saw the indentations on the bodies, yet he could not feel any fluctuation of power from the Human in front of him. He was like a combat-level 5 trash; it was a bit eerie.

"Governor Romero, this is a naked provocation against the Empire. You must severely punish the perpetrator!" Shamoku said in a deep voice, "If you cannot provide a satisfactory result, I will do it myself."

Romero smiled noncommittally, "General Shamoku, do not be impatient."

Li Hao seemed completely indifferent to the tense situation, and he didn't even look at the few Orcs. A long-lost smile appeared on Romero's face, "Li Ge, welcome back."

Li Hao nodded, but he did not smile. He turned to look at Shamoku, "Did you eat people?"

Shamoku was stunned, his brows furrowed. This was something he truly hadn't tried, but he wasn't stupid, "I don't know what nonsense you are spouting. Kneel down for me and await the judgment of the Lalutu Empire!"

Suddenly Li

Hao's figure disappeared. Shamoku's body instantly swelled; he felt a strong threat. The strength and resilience of the Orc body were also far superior to Humans, and he was an outstanding one among them, but his body stopped swelling halfway. The next second, he saw his own body; his head had already been plucked off by Li Hao.

"Kill them all!" Li Hao said faintly.

The Human Warriors and Insectoids immediately took action, surrounding the remaining Orcs. Before long, the remaining Orcs were dealt with; a few were beaten to death, and a few were still alive.

"What are you doing? Keeping them to waste air?" Li Hao frowned.

"Don't, don't kill us! We are Lalutu people! You have no right to judge us! You don't even have the Holy Song! You are violating the Galaxy Contract!" an Orc yelled hysterically.

Li Hao looked coldly at these thick-set beasts, "This is Human territory. You have already crossed the bottom line by being so insane. You beasts are talking to me about contracts?"

The warriors were immediately excited. It wasn't that they didn't dare to kill, but they were afraid of causing trouble for Li Wu. But clearly, this officer of theirs was least afraid of this kind of trouble.

Soon, the other Orcs were hammered into meat paste amidst their screams. And the Humans who saw this scene at the grand airport were completely boiling over, cheering collectively. Above, one might be able to see the civilized side of the Orcs, but below, the things the Orcs had committed were truly not what was seen on the surface.

As for some creatures of other civilizations, they were a bit dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

Li Hao didn't care at all, "Romero, it's only been a year, how did you become so effeminate?"

Romero gave a bitter smile. When it comes to ruthlessness, it still has to be Li Mo, "I was wrong. Let's talk slowly."

Polina was not happy, "Li Ge, you can't say it like that. You don't know where you went to be carefree, but for ants like us living in the cracks, it's good enough just to be alive."

Li Hao was stunned and looked at Polina, then at Romero. Romero gave a bitter smile, "Don't listen to her babbling. There are some things I really don't have much of an opinion on. It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I'm worried about bringing trouble to the Solar System. It's good that you're here."

Li Hao smiled and waved his hand, "The sky won't fall. The Lalutu Orcs have a very poor reputation in the Star Alliance. There are not a few races that want to exterminate them. Collect and compile their deeds and submit them to the Star Alliance. Let's see what the Star Alliance says. Strike once to avoid a hundred strikes!"

Humans have no empathy for alien races, let alone other creatures. Once the Orcs can do whatever they want in the Human world, what will other civilizations do? They will only become more unscrupulous!

Only then did everyone notice that the creatures of other civilizations around them had recovered from their previous shock. When they looked at the Humans again, there was clearly a bit more respect.

Polina kicked Romero, "What did I say? Li Ge knows more than we do. Just do it, that's all. You just worry about this and that. The Star River Alliance clearly won't easily use force. Disputes below are all solved by oneself. Whoever has the harder fist has the truth. Besides, this is in our own territory. Only force brings dignity!"

Li Hao looked at Polina and suddenly realized he had misjudged this girl. Truly, one cannot judge a person by their appearance. From the information of the Void creatures he absorbed, there were indeed Lalutu. This civilization belonged to a rogue civilization and was an unwelcome race in the entire Star Alliance. They mainly relied on the Strong Colonization Empire to engage in heavy labor, and they were also cannon fodder in war. If they really fought, exhausting the strength of all Humans would just be a case of mutual destruction, and this absolutely did not conform to the interests and rules of the entire Star Alliance.

Moreover, Humans were the Seed Civilization of the Celestial. Acting directly was equivalent to challenging the Celestial. Even if the Celestial didn't care about this branch of Humans, they had to maintain the status and dignity of the Celestial and would not allow provocation. If the Celestial didn't care, wouldn't other civilizations follow suit?

At the same time, shouldn't those Seed Civilizations that relied on the Celestial Civilization also consider their own situation?

In the Governor's mansion, Li Hao explained the situation in a few words, "Just use the Orcs as the starting point. We Humans are not the first, and we won't be the last."

"Then what are we waiting for? Kill them all!" Romero's fighting spirit rose.

"Roro, don't be so impulsive," Polina smiled, "Li Ge, the matter is as it is, but if we really finish dealing with it, it's impossible for us not to pay a price."

No matter what, the Lalutu Orcs were also members of the Star Alliance. Humans killing so ruthlessly without giving face could not determine the Celestial's view. The Celestial had no reason to shield Humans. Even if there was utility value, under normal circumstances, they would still cut a large piece of meat from the Human side. That was a transaction. Not to mention there was an uncertain factor like the Strong Colonization Empire.

Li Hao smiled, "There will definitely be some consequences. Just hand me over when the time comes. I also happen to want to go out and take a look."

"Li Ge, don't worry, I'm not someone without responsibility..." Romero was interrupted by Polina before he could finish.

"You really are... what responsibility? Li Ge's words mean exactly what they say. If there is any problem, just hand him over. But even if you hand him over, what can the other side do to him?" Polina was speechless, and at the same time, her eyes looking at Li Hao were full of interest.

Li Hao felt a bit creeped out. He also didn't know where Polina's confidence came from. Human special abilities were strange and varied, "Polina, don't keep looking at me like that. If you have something to say, just say it."

Li Hao had a count in his mind. The Orcs had a bad reputation, and the same thing had happened in other civilizations. There wouldn't be any big problems, and even if there were, he wasn't afraid.

Polina revealed a look of surprise, "Really? Can I... can I understand your structure?"
