“The recent situation… since the ruins incident seven years ago, an irreparable rift has formed between humanity and the energy civilization,” Jules said, holding a smart device and flipping through it in the silent bar, without even looking up.

“Due to rapid reproduction and strong adaptability, humanity is already the largest race in the universe, at least in terms of numbers. However, their profound foundation and potential have given many leaders new ambitions: they want to secure a place in the sun for humanity. To this end, seven thousand two hundred major groups, forces, consortiums, families, and nations held a meeting on the Fourth World planet of Lomek, and ultimately agreed to establish a loose federation. This federation does not interfere with the internal affairs of its members, but it will speak with one voice to the outside world. The highest decision-making body of the federation is called the ‘Mural,’ composed of a speaker and twelve councilors.”

Blood瞳 listened silently, his fingers dancing on the bar, mixing glasses of beautifully colored liquids, twirling them in his fingertips. Deft as butterflies.

“So, humanity is preparing to wage war in the Third World? If I remember correctly, human forces are only a tiny fraction in the Third World. Do they have the ability?”

“Originally, no,” Jules replied, glancing at the smart device again. “But since that incident seven years ago, they do.”

“Oh?” Blood瞳 raised an eyebrow. “Tell me about it.”

“The superficial information about the ruins incident seven years ago is that the energy civilization was completely wiped out, and both of humanity’s motherships escaped. But that’s not the truth.” Jules quietly watched Blood瞳 mix the cocktail, speaking softly, her voice as gentle as a breeze.

“Because most people overlooked that there was another mothership that went to the ruins to carry out the mission.”

“The Mana Clan.” Blood瞳 raised his eyebrows, remembering the huge spaceship that intercepted the human mothership halfway. At the time, the Mana Clan's special form of existence had slightly surprised him. But thinking about it now, it was an extremely advanced life form, especially in terms of the condensation and storage of vitality, which was simply a miracle.

“Yes, the Mana Clan,” Jules nodded, gently smoothing her soft blue hair. “They were used as pawns by the Aihrt people to stop us, and were defeated by the old man and old woman. But as a result, they escaped the disaster. In later adventures, their strong also secretly sneaked into the ruins, followed Heck, collected many samples of enhanced cells and biological tissues from the ruins, and finally successfully left.”

“Strange, I didn’t sense them.” Blood瞳 frowned, recalling his situation when he was one with the ruins. At that time, he was almost the ruins, and he was aware of most of the situations inside the ruins, but he never sensed the existence of the Mana Clan.

“That’s normal. Because the Mana Clan itself has strong biotechnology, but compared to Krodir's biotechnology, they are more inclined to plants and nature. When they want to fully conceal their tracks, they are as inconspicuous as the flowers and plants on the roadside. Unless it’s in a lifeless area, it’s difficult to detect them.” Jules replied softly, a strange look on her face.

In fact, although her body was occupied by Maya, she was not completely unaware of the situation at the time. So she also knew some of the relationship between the Mana Clan and herself.

So after thinking for a while, she said again, “The Mana Clan is an alternative in the Third World. Although they belong to the energy civilization, they hardly interact with other civilizations. They also maintain a neutral stance in the current universe. Their relationship with other energy civilizations is more of a temporary cooperation than an alliance.”

“So after the ruins incident, they handed over the samples they obtained and returned to their racial gathering place, and entered a ‘hibernation’ state. It is said that they will be isolated from the world from now on.”

“Hibernation?”

“This is a self-sealing technique of the Mana Clan, equivalent to absolute shielding. Once they hibernate, their sense of existence will be reduced to an imperceptible level, so as not to be disturbed by outsiders,” Jules replied, smiling unnaturally.

Of course she knew why the Mana Clan would hibernate, because on the spaceship they returned to, there was an ancient existence coexisting with the Mana ancient tree… a woman who once lived in her body and a man with only half a body left.

In order not to let her be detected by other energy civilizations, the only way for the Mana Clan was to self-seal.

But that's good, leaving that woman, Jules also felt relaxed. The blood curse that had plagued her for a long time also disappeared. She is now a brand new Jules. A little girl who only exists for Blood瞳, managing logistics for Blood瞳.

“If that’s the case, then there were two groups of people who took the cell samples?” Blood瞳 pondered, flicking his finger. A cocktail with seven colors and a strong aroma jumped onto the table. He gently pushed it towards Jules and said.

“What does that have to do with the current cosmic situation?”

“The relationship is that both humans and energy civilizations have gained something from the ruins.” Jules smiled slightly, and picked up the wine glass with two jade-like fingers, taking a small sip.

“Not only that, but humans also analyzed the technology of magic armor from the wreckage left by the Aihrt people, and then copied and strengthened it, developing a new type of armor and new battleships. As a result, the conventional military power of humans in the Third World has increased rapidly, and they have quickly reached the point of confronting some ancient civilizations.”

“So, ambition began to throb.” Blood瞳 sighed softly, and also picked up a glass of whiskey. “I seem to see a new Krodir. I wish them success.”

“In fact, they are more dangerous than Krodir.” Jules replied with a chuckle. “Don’t forget, humans have the strongest reproduction and adaptability in the current universe. Plus, they are very good at copying the technologies of other civilizations. So in the current universe, they are most likely to integrate mechanical civilization, biological civilization, and energy civilization, thereby developing a new civilization form.”

“This will undoubtedly make other civilizations feel fear.” Jules pressed the smart device next to her and pulled out a light screen. “This is my recent forecast of how much threat will be generated if humans can integrate the technologies they have obtained.”

Blood瞳 glanced at the light screen. The densely packed data were all assessments of the possible changes that humans might make after obtaining new technologies. The jumping numbers made Blood瞳 feel shocked.

At this moment, he finally understood why the universe was so restless. Because no ancient civilization would see such a newborn alien civilization develop so perversely. This has deeply threatened their existence.

And to solve this threat, the only way is…

War.

“Now, they are only missing an introduction. But this introduction is about to appear.” Jules seemed to have the same idea as Blood瞳, and said softly.

“Although both sides obtained Krodir's cell samples in the last ruins incident, no one can completely analyze them. But a few days ago, I got a message. The Mercenary Headquarters has established contact with a civilization in the Second World. They may reproduce the power of Krodir.”

Saying that, Jules turned back and smiled, and said to Pandora on the other side of the bar.

“Hey, Pandora, have you hidden your box?” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
