113: Chapter 113 Two-Dimensional Foil
Looking at the several inconspicuous warships flying toward him, Lin Sheng stopped his movements.
He had already recognized those warships.
Back at Eighteen Stars, he had personally experienced the power of these things.
Previously, just one had blown him to ashes; now, six of them appeared at once.
Although Lin Sheng didn't think the Origin Star people would be insane enough to detonate these things on their home planet, it was better to be safe than sorry; when people are pushed to the brink, they are capable of anything.
With this in mind, Lin Sheng did not act rashly.
He stood quietly in place, waiting for the warships to approach.
The warships stopped about a hundred meters away from Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng stared at the lead warship.
The cover at the front of the warship opened, and a humanoid creature with three Tentacles on its back stepped out.
*Gulp.*
Looking at Lin Sheng's massive body and meeting those eyes radiating golden light, the Supreme Commander subconsciously swallowed hard.
But thinking that he was now fighting for his race's hope of survival, the Supreme Commander forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.
Staring at Lin Sheng expressionlessly, it spoke through the spaceship's loudspeaker:
"Honorable alien visitor, I believe you are already familiar with the power of the 'star shatterers' behind me."
"While I don't know how you survived the previous 'star shatterer' strike, I think that no matter how strong you are, you cannot withstand this many 'star shatterer' strikes, can you?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng looked at the audacious little person before him with interest.
"State your purpose."
An oppressive synthesized mechanical voice came from Lin Sheng's mouth; the airflow from his speech sent the Tentacles on the Supreme Commander's back flying wildly.
"I believe we can negotiate."
When saying this, the Commander-in-Chief seemed somewhat lacking in confidence.
If the monster before him flew into a rage and started a massacre, he would have no choice but to take his civilization down with him in a mutual destruction.
"Negotiate?"
"If it's a negotiation, there must be bargaining chips."
"Tell me what chips you can offer; if I am satisfied, I 'might' let you go."
Lin Sheng kept his eyes on the Supreme Commander, wanting to see what bargaining chips this Origin Star person would produce.
The Supreme Commander took a deep breath and raised its right hand, signaling Lin Sheng to look at its wrist.
After seeing that Lin Sheng's gaze was fixed on its wrist, the Supreme Commander pointed with its left hand to a watch-like device on its right wrist and explained:
"This is my emotional monitoring device; it monitors my emotional fluctuations at all times."
"Once my emotions fluctuate violently, it will send out a signal, and the other end of that signal is linked to these 'star shatterers'."
"Once the star shatterers receive the signal, they will be detonated immediately."
"At that time, whether it is us Origin Star people or you, we will all die."
Speaking to this point, the Supreme Commander paused for a moment before continuing:
"I wonder if you are satisfied with this bargaining chip?"
"Are you threatening me?"
Lin Sheng's cold mechanical voice showed no trace of emotional fluctuation, but the Supreme Commander broke out in a cold sweat at that moment.
"No... this is a negotiation."
"The chips are the lives of both our parties."
"If you leave now, both sides will be at peace."
"But if you insist on staying here..."
"Both of us will die!"
Having said this, the Supreme Commander gained some confidence.
It stopped pretending, and its tone of voice carried a hint of threat.
"Heh."
"Interesting."
"Mutual destruction?"
"Do you think these things can kill me?"
At this moment, a trace of terrifying background music was mixed into Lin Sheng's mechanical voice.
Hearing Lin Sheng say this, the Supreme Commander's heart sank; just as it thought the negotiation had failed and wanted to activate the 'star shatterers' directly, Lin Sheng's cold mechanical voice continued:
"However, I can give you a chance to live."
As he said this, Lin Sheng waved his hand as if casually.
To the Supreme Commander, this action looked like he was just brushing off an insignificant bug.
But what the Supreme Commander didn't notice was that when Lin Sheng waved his hand, a transparent 'paper' that seemed to have no thickness was thrown out from between his fingers.
This 'paper' was very fast and would soon reach the star of the Origin Star people's stellar system.
"Use the same method as before to guide the light of the star onto me."
"As long as I am satisfied, I will naturally leave."
Lin Sheng said unhurriedly.
From the time he arrived at Origin Star until now, he hadn't even earned back the evolution points he spent to repair his body.
If he left now, once he returned to Eighteen Stars, the Origin Star people stationed there would surely attack him as well.
Taking a few more 'star shatterer' hits would be inevitable.
At that time, Lin Sheng would need to use evolution points to repair his body again.
In this way, the evolution points consumed would be countless, while Lin Sheng's gains from these two trips were pitifully small.
Lin Sheng was not willing to make such a losing deal.
Now that the Origin Star people had come to negotiate, it wasn't too much to ask for some energy, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Sheng turned his oppressive eyes toward the huge barrel-shaped object hanging in space.
Hearing the creature's request, the Supreme Commander subconsciously frowned.
It had seen the 'Fusion Strike' before; not only could this attack not destroy the creature, but it would actually make it grow.
Although this growth was almost imperceptible, the Supreme Commander did not want to do anything that would fund the enemy.
"What? You're unwilling?"
Seeing that the Supreme Commander had not responded for a long time, Lin Sheng immediately turned his golden eyes toward the Little Things in front of him.
"Don't think I don't know that 'Fusion Strike' helps you; I cannot agree to this request!"
Enduring the psychological pressure Lin Sheng put on it, the Supreme Commander flatly refused Lin Sheng's request.
"Heh..."
"Not bad, you have courage."
A terrifying cold laugh came from Lin Sheng's throat.
Looking at the Supreme Commander's nervous eyes, Lin Sheng calculated the distance between the two-dimensional foil and the sun, and then his expression suddenly relaxed.
"Since you're unwilling, I won't force it."
"Cherish the short time you have left."
After leaving behind this sentence that left the Origin Star people bewildered, Lin Sheng withdrew the aggressive aura from his body.
Then, he unhurriedly rose and, under the Supreme Commander's confused and lingeringly fearful gaze, slowly flew toward the Warp Tunnel on the other side of Origin Star.
Arriving in front of the Warp Tunnel, Lin Sheng stopped once more.
The Supreme Commander's heart tightened, fearing the creature would pull some other stunt.
But fortunately, Lin Sheng only opened his mouth and made a global broadcast to Origin Star:
"Actually, I am also an enemy of the creatures on that planet."
"We could have dealt with those creatures together."
"Your relatives, friends, and compatriots who died because of me wouldn't have had to die."
"But just a few days ago, your advance fleet rashly launched a devastating strike against me."
"Although I have already killed them, they committed a great error."
"They indirectly caused the deaths of so many of your compatriots."
After saying this, Lin Sheng's figure flickered, and half of his body had already entered the Warp Tunnel.
