Chapter 1123: Now I want you to choose!
The conversation fell into a brief silence.
The little girl said casually, "Yes."
Our machine race currently lacks the technology to rebuild the Gaia Gate.
Even after nearly ten thousand years of research on the existing Gaia Gate, there are still many core technologies that we cannot fully understand.
This may be the drawback of our mechanical life.
Our...thinking...seems to be missing something.
Zhao Chen stared at the little girl: "So, you came here specifically this time."
Is this all you wanted to tell me?
"Of course, there's something else I need to tell you."
After all, the interstellar territory currently controlled by the Machine Race is the largest known territory in the universe.
Nearly one-third of the interstellar territory.
It is equivalent to the combined territories of the Angels and Demons.
Moreover, many resources in these interstellar territories have not been overexploited and have extremely high utilization value.
If we suddenly leave, °• N o v e l i g h t •° we'll be leaving behind such a large amount of resources.
That would surely cause chaos in the universe!
To have internal strife erupt when order is threatened is undoubtedly a foolish act of digging one's own grave.
So, before we leave.
In this universe, there must be a force that can take the place of our machine race.
And we have transformed from the machine race, which previously posed a threat to other interstellar civilizations, to the race that leads them.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly: "You told me before that your mechanical race is an enemy of the entire universe."
This is very similar to a statement I recently read in my spare time.
In a pond, there is a group of salmon and a catfish.
And because of the presence of this catfish, these salmon keep swimming and swimming, ultimately making their bodies stronger.
"The metaphor is very apt."
The catfish has now done what it was supposed to do.
"And among the salmon, it's time for a leader to emerge," the little girl said with a smile.
Zhao Chen had already guessed the answer. He said, "You mean me."
"right.
"You and the JF-17 behind you." The little girl nodded.
Zhao Chen thought for a moment and then said, "You want us, the Falcon Dragons, to take over the legacy left by your mechanical race."
Then let us take control of the other interstellar powers and establish an orderly interstellar alliance.
This is to ensure that internal strife and other problems do not erupt when faced with threats to order.
You're half right.
The little girl walked up to Zhao Chen and started circling around him, occasionally poking him with her finger.
"If it's just an alliance."
Then its efficiency will be very low.
Just like the original Warhammer and Holy Empire.
It seems that everyone has formed a balanced ecosystem.
In peacetime, this is of course not a problem.
But what if there is danger from the outside world?
Such a political system would then expose significant drawbacks.
The outcome was already obvious when your Falcon dealt with the Holy Radiance Empire and Warhammer.
But now there is a threat to order from the outside.
The kind of political system that the Alliance is based on is not suitable for this universe.
It's not your JF-17 either.
Zhao Chen frowned slightly.
The little girl stopped in front of Zhao Chen, and her body began to transform into the tall female officer she had been before: "I want you to become the sole emperor of this universe."
The only emperor?
Zhao Chen didn't say anything.
"All interstellar powers, interstellar kingdoms, and interstellar races must submit to you."
You can control all the resources to develop your Dragon Legion.
Let this young dragon truly grow up and become a cosmic dragon!
"Only by becoming the emperor can you achieve this goal and control this situation." The tall female officer's words echoed throughout the bridge.
"I don't want to become an emperor." Zhao Chen frowned.
The tall female officer transformed back into a little girl: "Of course I know you don't like being an emperor; your personality is that of a carefree and easily satisfied person."
Starting with your JF-17 fleet, unless someone else comes looking for you, or there is a hidden threat.
You would never have led the JF-17 fleet to develop into the JF-17 Legion and JF-17 Galaxy Interstellar Group they are today!
If others are a school of fish facing a catfish, then you are a sardine facing a group of catfish.
Ultimately, I'll transform you, this sardine, into a deep-sea behemoth!
"Don't you have any other suitable candidates? Or any other solutions?" Zhao Chen asked.
The little girl shook her head: "No."
I've observed other people.
Angels?
They possess some strength, but are extremely arrogant, and hold onto their own stubborn beliefs. Sometimes, they even do ridiculous things for the sake of their so-called glory.
Demon race?
They possessed some strength, but unfortunately, they had been corrupted by the established order, even after overthrowing the Demon King's tyranny.
The demon race can no longer return to its former state.
The Star Empire? The Holy Radiance Empire? Or the Warhammer Interstellar Federation Kingdom?
These three are nothing more than toys in the hands of you, lord.
So, do I even have a choice in who to choose?
Zhao Chen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll think about it carefully when I get back."
Suddenly, the little girl sprang up and used terrifying force to pin Zhao Chen to the ground.
Even Zhao Chen's modified body, a level-five super soldier, was unable to resist.
The problem is... isn't she a holographic projection?
Could it be because we're inside this interstellar warship?
Zhao Chen didn't have time to think much, because the little girl was staring at him with a ferocious look: "Don't be so naive!"
This is the only option right now.
I've calculated it countless times using my supercomputer.
Entrusting all of this to the Angels would only give them a 0.012% chance of winning.
The universe will be completely destroyed by order in the sixtieth year of the future.
And it's yours to handle!
The odds of winning are already 31%!
A 30% chance of winning.
You know what?
When the Gaia Empire launched its full-scale expedition, that was their estimate of victory.
Only 20%.
Because they knew very well that if they tried their best... there was still hope.
If you don't try, you'll die!
This is no longer a matter of whether you, Zhao Chen, are willing to build a cosmic empire.
Rather, it's about whether you want to stand by and watch your home universe be destroyed!
Let me put it this way.
If you refuse now.
Then I would order the redeployment of most of the interstellar warships from the Black Wall Alliance and launch a cleanup operation against this universe.
By gathering all available resources, we will become the second Gaia Empire expeditionary force, searching for even the slightest glimmer of hope outside.
Since they are unwilling to step forward, then let this universe wait for its death.
Let's use it as fuel for our expedition!
Zhao Chen understood what the little girl was saying.
The other party was not joking.
These words are all sincere.
"Now.
I want you to make a choice.
Either I destroy this universe.
Either you become the emperor of this universe.
"You choose!" The little girl stood up and looked down at Zhao Chen, who was lying on the ground.
