"So, what about the civilization on that planet now?"

After reading the combat record, Eden curiously asked.

"Barely hanging on, they relied too heavily on Imu Energy, so when it finally vanished, they had to start over. Now they've become a vassal to another interstellar force, given their planet's resource-poor situation, relying solely on themselves, they wouldn't make it to the universe even in 50,000 years."

Although both ended up as wastelands, Guardian Planet, Terminator Planet, and even Demon Planet are not this miserable. They only lost population. Given time, one or two or three generations, population would increase, and the revival of planetary civilization wouldn't be a problem because resources are still there.

But War Planet is completely doomed, like peasants trapped to death in the desert, nothing but sand underfoot, not even able to dig up oil.

Under such conditions, surviving might be possible, but to say they could live well, that's uncertain.

"So..."

Dr. Mei also understood Duanmu Huai's point.

"Are you trying to tell us that to prevent the Lawyer from appearing, we must completely abandon Destruction Energy?"

"Exactly, that's what I mean."

Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers, revealing a sinister smile as he looked at Dr. Mei.

"If you don't abandon Destruction Energy, you'll continually be under attack, only by completely stripping Destruction Energy from your civilization can you eliminate this threat."

"But, that's impossible, right?"

Xixi anxiously spoke up, others nodded. It's normal, like how electricity era is thoroughly integrated into humans' lives, asking them to abandon it and go back to steam age... everyone knows it's impossible.

"Can't do it, then die."

However, Duanmu Huai wouldn't accommodate them.

"It's your choice."

"This..."

Faced with the bombshell Duanmu Huai suddenly dropped, everyone was speechless, and Alicia sighed helplessly.

"This really shouldn't be the topic of discussion at a ladies' afternoon tea party."

"What does it matter what the topic is? Besides, this is closely tied to the fate of your civilization, I think it's much more interesting than lipstick and cosmetics."

"But even if we talk about it, it's useless."

Yimih realized.

"Such things can only be done with World Government's approval, even Fire Moth doesn't have such large authority and capability..."

"But I think it's unlikely World Government will agree to such absurd conditions, they might choose a place as an experiment zone, but to say clearing Destruction Energy off the planet completely... I think it'll never happen."

Eden spoke up.

"That's why I didn't talk to those idiots, but told you directly. I trust Dr. Mei can make a wise decision."

"And so?"

"Hehe."

Upon hearing Sakura's inquiry, Duanmu Huai chuckled, stood up, walked to Dr. Mei's side, and patted her shoulder.

"Do you still remember the orders given by the high-level Lawyer Avatar?"

"Of course, he believed Dr. Mei led Fusion Warriors in attempting to rebel against World Government..."

At this point, Alicia seemed to notice something, blinked, looked at Duanmu Huai, then at Dr. Mei.

"...You wouldn't..."

"What do you think, Dr. Mei?"

Duanmu Huai turned his head, looking at Dr. Mei beside him.

"It's cold, want me to add a coat for you? A yellow one?"

Then, he spoke.
