Chapter 365: I Will Lead the Surrender!
Chapter 365: I Will Lead the Surrender!
Apart from the Charm Emperor, the other Mutant Emperors all glared at the Mirror King with anger. They never expected that the Mirror King would utter such words. Didn't he realize this would forever demean the Mutants?
Spy Number One remained composed. He dared to speak because he had his own reasoning.
As a spy, if you didn't engage in some flashy maneuvers, wouldn't you be forgotten long ago?
Su Chen watched the scene through satellite surveillance. When Number One Spy spoke, he knew that the spy had some new ideas. As the Commander, Su Chen just needed to watch his subordinates' performances.
Emperor Kong and others knew that both the Mirror King and the Charm Emperor were under Su Chen's command. Upon hearing the Mirror King's words, they held their silence, giving face.
Number One Spy pointed at the Human Emperor and said to the Mutant Emperors, "You should be well aware of the Humans' current strength. Let me ask you this: given the Humans' current strength compared to ours, what are our chances of victory?"
This question left the Mutant Emperors speechless.
Of course, they knew that with the Humans having nine peak eighth-order experts, the Mutants had no chance of winning anymore, not even the slightest.
Only when reaching the eighth-order did they understand the extent of a top-tier expert's assistance. Coupled with the Humans seemingly having a way to find eighth-order experts, the Mutant Emperors were even more fearful.
That's why they were conceding, hoping that Humans could provide them a place to survive. As long as they survived, there was hope.
Once Humans launched an all-out war and wiped out the Mutants completely, there would be no trace of hope left.
Their current operation was about negotiation, hoping to secure a place where they could survive. The Mirror King's words struck right at the heart of their intentions.
For a while, the Evil Emperor spoke, "Mirror King, I know that with our strength, we're no match for the Humans, but becoming their vassals... I can't do it!"
"Me neither," other Mutant Emperors echoed.
A smirk tugged at the corner of Number One Spy's mouth. He had long guessed the Mutants' thoughts, and this was precisely what he wanted.
"Have you ever considered how other Mutants feel? Do they want to die due to your foolish actions, or do they want to survive?"
Mirror King's voice resonated, stunning the Mutant Emperors.
Don't assume Mutants lack emotions. As intelligent beings, most creatures, except for a few exceptions, have emotions. Having become Emperors, they had even interacted with Mutants of the opposite sex and tasted the sweetness of emotions. Now, asking them to sacrifice their loved ones for a futile cause was something the Mutant Emperors couldn't bear.
"We can hide them. No matter how powerful Humans are, they can't search every corner of the Earth." The Evil Emperor retorted.
A snort escaped Number One Spy's nostrils. "Foolish! Do you think there's anywhere Humans' technology can't reach? Whether in the sky or underground, what's it to them? Even if you hide deep within the oceans, they can find you there too. Where can you possibly hide?"
"Or do you want to watch our race be wiped out without a trace?"
The Mutant Emperors were rendered speechless by Number One Spy's words, their heads lowered.
Before the life-and-death situation of their race, these Emperors felt helpless.
They had never expected the Mutant existence to take such tumultuous turns.
Originally, the birth of intelligent Mutants wasn't long ago, just over half a year. They believed that Mutants had plenty of time for development, that Earth would eventually be theirs. But suddenly, Humans spawned numerous powerful individuals, breaking the delicate balance of power and leading to the current situation.
Out of a last shred of dignity, they didn't want to become Human vassals. However, they hadn't considered whether Humans would accept them as such.
One race becoming vassals to another was common in the universe. On Earth, however, this was the first time such a thing had occurred.
"I refuse to believe that even with the combined power of us nine Emperors, the Humans can simply ignore us. If we want to cause trouble, can't we, the Mutant Emperor, give Human Emperor a run for their money?" One of the Mutant Emperors, restless and wanting to provoke, spoke up.
Facing this troublemaker, Number One Spy acted decisively.
At present, Number One Spy was also at the peak of the eighth-order, but the other Mutant Emperors were unaware of this. With one hand, he directly seized the offending Mutant Emperor by the neck.
"Mirror King, what are you trying to do?" The other Mutant Emperors were alarmed, and the atmosphere became tense.
The Human Emperors were like spectators, observing this Mutant Emperor's performance. If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, they'd have loved to watch with popcorn and soda in hand.
A cold smile played on Number One Spy's lips. "It's not about what I want to do now, but about what you want to do. I, the Mirror King, am probably the most powerful Emperor among us. Do you think I'm willing to let my race vanish like this? You all have access to some of Humans' memories. You know how many times Human tribes have disappeared throughout their history. If we don't let go of our arrogance, we'll meet the same fate as those tribes. After a few decades or centuries, we'll become nothing more than historical records!"
The Mutant Emperors certainly knew this, but their inner principles prevented them from yielding.
It was as if Number One Spy had seen through something. He let out a deep sigh, releasing his grip on the Mutant Emperor's neck, and spoke with a tone filled with humiliation and helplessness, "I know you're all Emperors and unwilling to bow down, but for the sake of our entire race, I will lead the surrender!"
Finishing his words, Number One Spy went before the Human Emperors, bowing deeply, "I, the Mirror King, will lead my people to surrender to the Humans!"
Seeing the Mirror King's stance, the other Mutant Emperors' expressions turned complex. Just as they were wrestling with their thoughts, another figure appeared.
"I, the Charm Emperor, will lead my people to surrender to the Humans!"
Seeing their own two Emperors surrender, the other Mutant Emperors knew that the tide had turned against them. One by one, they stepped forward to express their surrender. The City Controller below, a young deer, was in shock. He was the only non-Emperor witness there!
Even the Human Emperors were stunned. They witnessed Number One Spy's audacious moves, how he easily averted conflict between Humans and Mutants. In an unexpected twist, the Mutants became vassals of Humans?
If not for the setting, they would have liked to give each other a slap to confirm if it was all real.
Su Chen realized his Spy was an endless trove of surprises. (To be continued...)
