112: Chapter 112 Mutual Destruction?
Adhering to the principle of "killing without cruelty," a greyish-white mist began to emanate from Lin Sheng's body.
...
"Supreme Commander..."
"I heard it!"
Inside the command ship, the Supreme Commander took a deep breath, his eyes fixed intently on Lin Sheng on the screen.
Lin Sheng's voice just now was similar to an "all-channel broadcast." The civilians below could hear him directly, and the Origin Star people in the aerial warships could also listen to Lin Sheng's words through the communication channels.
"Then we..."
Beside the Supreme Commander, the adjutant asked cautiously.
Lin Sheng's terror had exceeded their imagination. Fighting him would inevitably lead to heavy losses, and the outcome was an unknown.
"Do you think we still have room for reconciliation?"
Before the adjutant could finish, the Supreme Commander raised his hand to cut him off.
"Setting aside whether the soldiers would agree, even if they did, would the civilians?"
"Furthermore, even if the civilians agreed, would that monster agree to a ceasefire?"
The Supreme Commander spoke excitedly. Seeing this, the adjutant did not bring it up again.
"Command Center, take orders: immediately use 'Fusion Strike' on the monster below."
The Supreme Commander sat back in his chair and pressed a button in front of him, granting the personnel monitoring Lin Sheng the authorization for a "Fusion Strike."
"Lord Supreme Commander, won't this accidentally harm the civilians?"
At this moment, the adjutant spoke up again.
He looked down from the warship with a face full of concern, clearly worried about the civilians below.
However, upon hearing the adjutant's words, the Supreme Commander stood up abruptly.
He pointed at the information displayed on the Life-form Radar and shouted at the adjutant, spittle flying:
"Accidentally harm civilians! Are there even any civilians left for us to harm!"
"Look here! And here!"
"Besides that monster! Are there any other life forms here!"
The adjutant cautiously looked up at the screen. After understanding the information, he clenched his fists and remained silent.
...
Lin Sheng was as good as his word. The greyish-white mist spread around, and the Origin Star people within the Anti-Life Equation couldn't even struggle before instantly turning into withered bones.
After fulfilling his promise, Lin Sheng began a wanton destruction of the surrounding buildings.
His front claws uprooted a tall building from the ground. After lifting it, he shoved it directly into his mouth.

Lin Sheng continued to destroy every building in sight.
With a gentle sweep of his tail, a large swath of buildings would collapse.
Just then, a flash of intuition struck him, and he suddenly looked up at the Sky.
An intense beam of light instantly entered his vision. The heat carried by the light caused the surrounding air to distort.
Even though Lin Sheng's current speed was very fast, no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the speed of light.
The moment he saw that glimmer of light, the pillar of light had already struck his body.
"Was it a success?"
Inside the command ship, the Supreme Commander saw the images on the screen and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
But in the next moment, the sight on the Life-form Radar caused his heart to plummet to rock bottom again.
...
"Ying ying~"

evolution points +350 million
evolution points +90 million
After being hit by this light pillar, the power of Lin Sheng's "Stellar Energy" was passively cranked to the maximum.
The "Fusion Strike" falling on his body not only failed to cause any damage but instead made him let out a comfortable groan.
Lin Sheng twisted his body comfortably a few times, but in the next moment, as if remembering something, his comfortable expression changed into one of painful struggle.
"Awoo!"
"Roar! Roar!"
Lin Sheng's roars sounded incredibly miserable. The civilians on the outskirts of the battlefield who were being evacuated heard these roars and thought Lin Sheng was finished, cheering excitedly.
However, what confused them was that if the monster was clearly finished, why hadn't the military's evacuation work stopped? Instead, it became even more urgent.
The Supreme Commander suddenly seemed to age a great deal in that instant.
He closed his eyes and spoke to the screen in front of him:
"Shut down the 'Fusion Strike' and open the general broadcast. I need to speak with all citizens of the civilization."
Upon receiving the Supreme Commander's order, the Command Center began to connect to the civilization's communication channels.
"Connection complete."
Hearing this, the Supreme Commander opened his eyes.
At this moment, his gaze became sharp once again.
The communication channel was connected to all Origin Star people except for the Expeditionary Force. The Supreme Commander's figure appeared via transmission equipment before the Origin Star people who were currently watching the battle.
Facing all the Origin Star people, the Supreme Commander took a deep breath and spoke solemnly:
"Everyone, we already have one foot in the grave."
"Here, I want to ask you one thing: if the worst-case scenario is to perish along with that monster, are you willing?"
As soon as the Supreme Commander finished speaking, the Origin Star people watching the battle were instantly filled with righteous indignation.
As a civilization that had already achieved unification, their cohesion was unparalleled.
In this moment of life and death, not a single individual feared death.
"Not afraid!"
"Kill the bastard!"
"Long live the Chief!"
Those civilians conveyed their thoughts through various means, many of which were passed to the Supreme Commander by the Command Center.
After learning everyone's thoughts, the Supreme Commander made a decision in his heart.
"I have received everyone's thoughts."
"Next, I will attempt to drive that monster away."
"If driving it away is ineffective..."
"We have the capability to perish together with it!"
After finishing, the Supreme Commander closed the civilization's communication channel.
He turned to the adjutant beside him and commanded:
"Deploy all 'star shatterers' to the monster's side, and arrange a civilian aircraft for me. I need to negotiate with that monster."
"Notify the Expeditionary Force: if that monster appears on Sin Star, immediately strike it at all costs."
In fact, after Lin Sheng appeared on Origin Star, the troops remaining there had already informed the Expeditionary Force of this news.
When the Chief learned that Lin Sheng was not only alive but had also gone to raid his home, he was both shocked and furious.
However, since Lin Sheng was already on Origin Star, which was filled with civilians, even with the Expeditionary Force's powerful firepower, they couldn't rush back to support.

In this book, there is no distinction between protagonists and antagonists, and the characters who appear are not simply good or bad. Ultimately, it is just a difference in ideology, perspective, and stance.
The reason the protagonist currently seems like a villain is merely a matter of differing stances, coupled with the fact that the Origin Star people are in a weak position in this war.
