The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 708 - 701 Eligibility Issue

Gao Yuan took three seconds to make a decision, and then, he felt that the Serpent People were insulting his intelligence.

The Serpent People wanted to negotiate with Gao Yuan using the spoils that belonged to him. If that wasn’t an insult to Gao Yuan’s intelligence, then what was? What the Serpent People should have been doing at this point was kneeling and wagging their tails in begging, not attempting to negotiate terms with Gao Yuan.

Because the Serpent People no longer had the qualifications to negotiate peace.

Peace was fought for, not talked into existence.

Originally, humans had no right to negotiate, so the Serpent People ignored humans. Now the Serpent People had lost the right to negotiate, so Gao Yuan didn’t want to bother with the Serpent People. frёewebηovel.cѳm

Gao Yuan didn’t speak. He raised his hand, levitating the female Serpent Person behind him into mid-air with a force field, and then he waved his hand, and the female Serpent Person flew rapidly and smashed heavily onto the Serpent Person that had spoken of negotiating.

The Serpent People were strong, but they were also frail enough—certainly more so than the monsters they created.

After the collision of the two Serpent People, the scene turned ugly. Gao Yuan scanned the surroundings, and then he had to make another decision.

This spaceship, Gao Yuan decided to claim it. The captives, he also wanted them, because killing all the Serpent People and then slowly exploring the technology they left behind would obviously take a much longer time.

But Gao Yuan had no intention of accepting an organized surrender from the Serpent People.

As captives, those who surrendered en masse and those who remained after a massacre, just a handful of them, had different treatments and mindsets.

Only the dead enemy is a good enemy; only truly submissive captives are good captives.

Those who dare to negotiate terms cannot be called captives. If they aren’t captives, they are enemies; and if they are enemies, one can strike them down without hesitation.

These were Ram’s standards for judgment, and Gao Yuan thought they were good, so he planned to borrow them.

If Axu could don the War God Mecha and singlehandedly snatch the highest standard of Celestial technological crystallization in a civil war against a civilization two levels higher than the Serpent People and escape to Earth,

then who could stop Gao Yuan clad in the War God Mecha when he was about to go on a killing spree aboard the Serpent People’s mothership.

The answer, of course, was that no one could stop him. Therefore, Gao Yuan’s slaughter even became somewhat boring, as the repetitive process certainly made it so.

However, Gao Yuan indulged in it, truly enjoying the joy of revenge.

Gao Yuan reached out and grabbed a Serpent Person who was about a hundred meters away from him. When that Serpent Person, flailing and struggling, was captured in his hand, he glanced at the insignia on the gray uniform of the Serpent Person, thought for a moment, and then set the Serpent Person down on the ground.

Any intelligent being would fear death when faced with it, and the Serpent People were no exception.

The Serpent Person was still jabbering away, but without the assistive devices for translation, there was of course no way for the Serpent Person to communicate with Gao Yuan.

However, Gao Yuan could understand what the Serpent Person was saying, as if he were naturally fluent in the language of the Serpent People.

The Xinghe could speak the human language because the Celestials had been continuously monitoring the progress of human civilization, and the Serpent People were merely a few steps ahead of humans, but they were still objects of observation by the Celestials.

Humans and the Serpent People were animals in a zoo; it’s just that the Serpent People were akin to chimpanzees with a higher IQ, and that was the only difference.

Without the aid of machines, Gao Yuan was unable to articulate sounds exactly like the Serpent People, but the words coming out of his mouth were enough for the Serpent Person at his feet to understand.

"You can survive, but don’t move; move and I’ll kill you,"

This was the first captive Gao Yuan chose who could survive, why? Because this was a Serpent Person with a role akin to an engineer.

Since Gao Yuan could understand what the Serpent People said, he naturally could read their writing as well. There might have been some errors due to era discrepancies, but it didn’t matter much, like how speaking the Chinese language from two thousand years ago would still largely enable communication with people. And in the Celestials’ database, the language and writings of the Serpent People had changed very little.

To take and to seek, although he was only one person, Gao Yuan could control the situation.

That was the thrill of dimensionality reduction.

And if dimensionality reduction couldn’t cleanly resolve the battle, like cutting through a tangled mess with a quick knife, that would be incompetence.

Therefore, Gao Yuan still needed to find the key Serpent People.

The thrill of dimensionality reduction was exhilarating, but it also evoked a palpable fear and vigilance in Gao Yuan’s heart.

The Celestials’ dimensionality reduction against the Serpent People, from the Ark playfully shooting down the mothership, to donning the War God Mecha which granted the power of life and death over the Serpent People, all demonstrated the stark civilizational gap.

But why, when the Serpent People’s dimensionality reduction against humanity was similar, did humans stubbornly hold out for a year? Well, even if the number of humans had reduced significantly, this still wasn’t the performance one would expect from the Serpent People.

The answer was simple. As Xinghe once said, the three motherships the Serpent People brought were actually akin to a scientific expedition, and these three motherships did not have specialized combat fleets.

If a mere scientific expedition could easily annihilate humanity, what would they do if the Serpent People’s specialized combat fleet arrived, or if the main forces of the Serpent People came?

With only a few hundred years of evolution left for humanity, was that enough time to evolve to a state where they could resist the Serpent People?

Considering the future, there were some things that needed to be done now.

Gao Yuan didn’t accept the surrender of the Serpent People, not because they didn’t qualify to surrender or negotiate, but that didn’t mean they had lost all value.

Humans needed the technology of the Serpent People, needed them to personally teach humans so that they could develop rapidly in the shortest time possible. But Gao Yuan didn’t want to keep too many Serpent People, emotionally he couldn’t accept it, and realistically there was no need for too many Serpent People.

How many should he keep? That was the question.

One out of ten, one out of a hundred, or... more?

Gao Yuan decided to pick the finer breeds of the Serpent People, such as the more obedient ones.

"Those lying on the ground will be spared!"

He couldn’t issue overly complex commands, and the Mecha won’t amplify Gao Yuan’s voice, so the Serpent People who heard him wouldn’t be too many. But the Serpent People around Gao Yuan began sprawling on the ground one after another, showing their bellies and then, those nearby and further away did the same, all lying down.

Like taming animals, the ones who refused to obey commands were eliminated, and those willing to obey were kept.

However, there were too many Serpent People left, almost all that met the eye had lain down.

And just as Gao Yuan felt there were too many people, he sensed something and immediately turned around to see a Mecha approaching.

That was Ram.

Ram was also wearing a Mecha, but he was clearly still adapting, and his body couldn’t withstand too intense maneuvering, so his arrival was inevitably slower.

But fortunately, Ram made it in time.
