162: Chapter 162 (Unknown)

Within the dark, murky structure,

"Since you know my purpose, then let the Kaminax Tribe become my vassal civilization. I can allow your race to survive."

"Isn't that precisely your intention?"

Lin Fang looked at the Kaminax and sneered, "Did you call me here just to listen to your tragic tale? To beg for pity? The King of the Kaminax Tribe, who carries the will of your race for three million years, surely wouldn't be so naive."

These words caused the Kaminax to retreat several steps. "Sir, can we not cooperate?"

"Hmph, not making you a slave civilization is my greatest concession."

"Have you decided?"

Looking at the remaining thirty minutes of evacuation time, Lin Fang spoke in a tone that brooked no argument, "You have one minute to consider. You have a choice now. Next time, I will only reduce you to slaves for my exploitation."

Facing this aggressive human, even if its original skin color could conceal emotion, the Kaminax could not hide its pallor now. The difference between a vassal civilization and a slave civilization was vast. The former could still maintain its racial structure, while the latter truly was just a collection of tools.

Perhaps only slightly better than extinction.

Lin Fang said calmly, "Ten seconds left."

"Six seconds."

"Three seconds."

"My people..."

With an unprecedented dryness in its voice, the Kaminax said, "Suzerain, the Kaminax Tribe is willing to become your vassal civilization."

Lin Fang's expression instantly brightened, as if the previous cold threats had never occurred. He took a step forward and grasped the 'King's' forelimb. "Haha, Kaminax, this is a wise choice. From today, your race will attain New Life!"

Lin Fang was in excellent spirits. He had acquired a civilization, so much so that even his laughter became gentler.

"I guarantee you, your situation will not be worse than it is now, and may even exceed your expectations."

After the Kaminax announced Lin Fang's existence to the entire tribe, Lin Fang also learned that their current population numbered 12.23 million individuals. This figure made Lin Fang raise an eyebrow slightly. It was fewer than expected, but it was also suitable.

Lin Fang asked another question, "Why do you say Venom is a Venerable One of your tribe?"

He couldn't figure this out, but the Kaminax Tribe King before him would surely be able to answer.

"Suzerain..."

The Kaminax replied, "In the memories passed down to me, during the reign of our tribe's first King, there were many Symbiotes similar to the one upon you, Suzerain. Initially, Andi Star had many powerful races, and the Kaminax were very weak among them. It was they who helped us survive on this planet until we became the planet's dominant force."

"Therefore, they are the Venerable Ones of our race."

Lin Fang focused intently. "Where did they come from? And where did they go afterward?"

The Kaminax quickly found the answer Lin Fang needed within its inherited memories. "At that time, the Kaminax Tribe faced an extinction crisis under the pressure of a race called the Roze. In that critical moment, we discovered the Venerable Ones on a crashed spacecraft. The first King reached a cooperative agreement with them."

"Afterward, we began to have undying Kaiju, which quickly eliminated all our race's rivals. However, after the reign of the 128th King, the Kaiju carrying the Venerable Ones mysteriously disappeared. The Venerable Ones have never appeared since."

The way they discovered the Symbiotes was actually identical to the method depicted in the *Venom* movie.

Perhaps it was a coincidence. Lin Fang frowned.

The Kaminax hesitated for a moment but still chose to speak to Lin Fang. "Suzerain, do you remember I told you the Kaminax Tribe has no time left?"

Lin Fang: "What? Isn't it due to resource depletion? Are there other factors?"

"Resource depletion is only one reason. Another reason is that I have sensed something ominous..."

"What kind of ominous feeling?"

"Suzerain, I cannot describe it, but my intuition tells me if the Kaminax Tribe does not leave Andi Star, we will face catastrophic disaster."

[Successfully evacuated from the Pacific Rim Dimension. Acquired resources: Kaminax Tribe * 3, Symbiote: Venom]

[Current Pacific Rim Dimension ownership weight: 100%]

Back at the Black Watch Base, Lin Fang felt that planet exuded strangeness from every corner, slightly dampening the joy brought by subjugating a very promising and useful vassal civilization.

After returning Venom to the warehouse, Lin Fang looked at the other resource he had brought back, which contained the Kaminax Tribe King and two other ordinary individuals.

That's right. Lin Fang had brought the Kaminax King back with him.
