Chapter 425: 424, The Devious Plan of the Skuru People_1
“You all saw it, didn’t you?” Manina XIII pointed at the ruins of the Congress Hall, declaring loudly:
“Blue Star humans have launched a terrorist attack against our government elite. Chairman Cass and Deputy Chairman Gordon were both killed in the attacks, and Minister of Intelligence Hilton was critically injured. This severely provokes our bottom line!”
“Now, it is time for everyone to set aside their differences and unite to deal with these terrorists!”
At this point, he paused momentarily, and the people around the square enthusiastically applauded in response.
Manina XIII nodded to everyone, and from the Space Ring, he took out a color photograph, 25 centimeters wide and 35 centimeters high.
The picture was a clear frontal photo of a Blue Star human. If Su Yu were here, he would definitely recognize it quickly because this was his ID photo!
Manina XIII got this ID photo from somewhere. He held up the photo to the camera and said solemnly:
“This Blue Star human is named Su Yu, a sixth-rank Sanctuary. The crimes he committed on our Skru Star are too numerous to list!”
“The destruction of the Floating Island base in Treyna’s sky was his doing; The release of the laser beam from the Treyna skyscraper which resulted in 120,000 deaths was also due to him; The assassination of the Chairmen, the destruction of the Congress Hall, this was him too! He is the mortal enemy of us Skru people!”
“Here, I can assure you all.” Manina XIII raised his right hand, solemnly saying to the camera:
“In the next nine months, if Su Yu dares to come to our Skru Star, I will eliminate him at all costs!”
“If he does not visit our Skru Star, I will go to Blue Star after nine months and kill him with my own hands, using his blood to comfort the souls of the Skru who died in battle.”
After finishing, Manina XIII put away the photo, took off his crown, and deeply bowed towards the direction of the Congress Hall.
The Skru people present were influenced and bowed in succession, determined to avenge the dead chairman.
…
Lin Ke, who stood to one side, did not join in the bowing. Not only had he not bowed, but he even thought this scene was somewhat comical.
If he remembered correctly, the principal of their Holy Silver Court of Secrets, the legendary stellar level powerhouse, had made the statement that Su Yu was the “Seed of the Universe” and asked them to protect him well.
In order not to let him and Donna spread the matter of “Su Yu being the Seed of the Universe”, the principal had given them each an enormous hush money of 10,000 student credits.
Now that Manina XIII wanted to kill Su Yu, Lin Ke found it quite ludicrous.
Of course, Lin Ke would not disclose this, and merely stood by silently and watched the show.
…
After the bow, Manina turned to the camera and continued: “In addition to Su Yu, the Blue Star humans must pay the price!
“In one month, I will create a defensive creature above the sixth rank in every Spiritual Spring Eye of Blue Star … (omitting 300 words)… There will be a total of 3730 creatures. I will let the Blue Star humans experience unprecedented fear!”
“Long live!”
“Long live!”
“Long live!”
A second round of earth-shattering cheers rose in the square. Even the officials of the Lun Kete Alliance had to admit a certain approval of Manina at this time.
This detestable dictator is quite reliable at crucial times!
Leaving the expeditionary force to him might turn misfortune into a blessing.
…
After Manina XIII’s speech, the hearts of the Skru Star people which had been disturbed and uneasy, were once again united. One must recognize that this emperor has quite the charisma.
After the speech, he rode a floating car to the hotel where he was staying to change his clothes, preparing to attend the upcoming cocktail party with senior officials of Lun Kete.
Of course, the main purpose of this cocktail party was to suck up to Lin Ke.
As soon as he sat in the floating car, Manina couldn’t wait to ask the Minister of Palace Affairs who was sitting in the car with him: “Lime, how is the situation in the South Pole? Has Sir Pu Langte successfully persuaded them to surrender?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, the Blue Star human has not surrendered.” The Minister of Palace Affairs lowered his head.
“That’s alright, you don’t have to apologize.” Manina XIII waved his hand: “What did Sir Pu Langte say?”
The Palace Minister hurriedly answered: “Sir Pu Langte said, he will give that Blue Star human three days to think it over.”
“Three days? Did he explain further?” Manina frowned.
“Sir Pu Langte said, in three days, if that Blue Star human does not surrender, he will use the ‘Gravity Funnel’.” The Palace Minister continued to reply.
“‘Gravity Funnel’? Good idea!” Manina XIII’s eyes brightened, he touched his beard in satisfaction: “I hope that Blue Star human is a patriot!”
The Minister of Palace Affairs shifted his gaze and asked awkwardly: “Your Majesty, what exactly does ‘Gravity Funnel’ mean?”
Manina XIII gave him a glance.
After a moment of thought, he said, “It’s no harm telling you.”
“Speaking of ‘Gravity Funnel’, of course, the first thing to mention is the funnel… Lai Yin, you know what a funnel is used for, right?”
“Of course, I know.” The Palace Minister nodded: “A funnel is a special conical pipe, with a large opening at the top and a small one at the bottom. With a funnel, liquids and powders can easily be poured into containers with smaller openings.”
“Hmm.” Manina XIII gave a slight smile:
“What is referred to as the ‘Gravity Funnel’ is the creation of a funnel that covers the entire surface of the planet using the planet’s gravitational field. No matter from where on the planet matter enters, it will ultimately come out at the same point.”
“Eh… Your Majesty, I don’t quite understand.” The Palace Minister awkwardly scratched his head.
“You!” Manina XIII patted him on the shoulder: “Let me give you a more detailed explanation.”
“At present, the Gravity Funnel on Blue Star has initially taken shape. We can throw matter into the Gravity Funnel from every outpost base on Blue Star, including the most recently produced 3730 monsters.”
His gaze became sharp:
“That Blue Star human’s hometown is named ‘Huaxia Nation’, and it seems Su Yu is also in this country. If he surrenders, naturally, there’s nothing to say. If he dares not to surrender, we will use the Gravity Funnel to throw all 3730 monsters into Huaxia Nation!”
“Then we can set up an interstellar live broadcast, and let that Blue Star human see with his own eyes how his hometown is torn apart by the monsters!”
“Brilliant!” The Palace Minister exclaimed: “This way, if that Blue Star human really is a patriot, he will most likely surrender. If he is not a patriot, we also won’t suffer any loss. We can let Su Yu and his compatriots bear this price! This is truly a perfect strategy!”
“Heheh, who’s to say it’s not?” Manina XIII leisurely leaned back against his pillow: “Once that Blue Star human surrenders, he will have essentially fallen into our trap, and we’ll have follow-up plans to slowly deal with him….”
As Manina and the Palace Minister conversed, the floating car sped along the straight road and disappeared into the distance.
