Chapter 187: Inevitable War
“Yes! They aren’t worth saving! They’ve all lost their minds, and they don’t know what they’re talking about!”
“Saving those people is a waste of our energy! Let them die! They’ve been living in their dreams, and they’ve done nothing but give us more trouble!”
However, those people’s replies were equally incredible.
“Fine. Don’t save us. We’re contagious, so we can all turn into fishmen. All we need to do is to scratch you with fins and scales. Then you’ll become just like us!”
“Screw you all! Healthy people should work together and kill them all! Or we can lock them up so that they won’t harm us!”
“Touch me, and I’ll stab you! I’m holding my fin! Stay away from me!”
“See that? These people are inhuman! We shouldn’t help them!”
“Bring it on! I dare you!”
“I’ll make your life hell!”
“Damn you! Guys, we’re in Ark 32 in Iceana, and there’s a fight! We need more men!”
“Healthy people are needed in Ark 14 in Soilia! The fishmen have revolted!”
“Shit! Fishmen are needed in Ark 65 of Goldia! The ordinary people are trying to kill us, and they’ll move on to you after that! Everybody with scales should stick together! We can’t hold them back much longer!”
...
No one knew when it started, but the online quarrel turned into actual fights in real life. The number of viewers kept dropping.
At first, there were 7.8 billion people watching, but it dropped to five billion. From there, it dropped to three billion. Then two billion.
Seeing this, the Moonian president told his peers, “Everybody, our gravity has recovered, and everything is back to normal. You have to stop those fights right now! We can’t afford any injuries!”
All the presidents knew how serious the matter was, but there was nothing they could do.
Earth wasn’t what it used to be. The ground had cracked open, mountains had collapsed, and a lot of land had been flooded.
How were they going to send people over there to break up the fights?
By rowing?
“Mr. Soan, I think we should stop the live stream now.”
“Yes!
In this chaotic situation, not many people were listening to Himmel Soan. The top priority was to come up with a strategy.
After the camera was switched off, high-ranking Moonian officials held a meeting. Himmel Soan answered all the questions Henry and Gordon had.
“I see!”
The others were enlightened by Himmel Soan’s explanation. “We can never give them the space cannon, right? If their technology rises to the sixth age, we’ll be in bigger danger than when the meteorite came at us. Is that correct, Mr. Soan?”
Himmel Soan nodded. “That’s correct, but the war between Atlantis and us is inevitable.”
“Inevitable? Why?”
“Are you going to war with Atlantis even without those four hundred million people?”
Himmel Soan nodded. “That’s right. The yellow stones came from Atlantis, and to open the portal, I’ll need those stones. Earth will be inhabitable in a year’s time. Maybe we can fix this planet, but it’ll take a very long time. It’ll be thirty years before we can move back to Earth again!”
Gordon asked, “Are we really going to a new planet? Is there no other way? How’s that planet compared to Earth?”
“We must. To rebuild Earth, we need a moon that’s identical to the original one that’s circling around Earth. Once that’s achieved, the instability on Earth will go away. The ocean will recede, and the four seasons will return. It’s like I said: the process will take thirty years. The new planet is slightly different from Earth, but it’s very similar. It’s much larger, though. Its moon is about the size of Earth.”
Warren said, “That’s amazing. If its moon is as big as Earth, the planet has to be a lot bigger than ours!”
Himmel Soan tapped the table to stop the subject from digressing.
“The point isn’t what the new planet is like. It’s Atlantis. The truth is: I can wipe out the kingdom, but I can’t guarantee I can stop the Atlanteans from detonating the genetic bombs in our people before they die.”
Henry raised his hand. “Mr. Soan, what’s that gene you’re talking about?”
“When those people knelt at the ocean, the Atlanteans injected some genes into those people when they extracted the wishing power. By the looks of it, they’ve used fish genes. For instance, if they used dog genes, those people would have grown fur, fangs, and claws.
“That’s to say, the genes will give them the traits of a specific species, but the host will still have most of their original features. They’re still humans, but they show signs of fish.”
Gordon nodded. “I see. Atlantis has given them fish genes, turning them into fishmen.”
“Yes! The fish genes have been modified into a weapon, which was the explosion you saw just then. It’s not so dangerous that it’ll injure the people around them, but it’ll kill the host instantly.”
Warren smacked the table and shouted, “We can’t give them the space cannon! They’re not advancing to the sixth age! We’d rather lose those four hundred million people than give them the space cannon!”
Gordon patted him. “Calm down. Those people out there will attack you again if they hear this.”
Warren said, “Was I wrong? You know I’m right! My Patriarch has told them not to kneel at the ocean, but they wouldn’t listen! They deserve to die, and I won’t pity them! Patriarch, let’s just annihilate Atlantis. Ignore those four hundred million people!”
Himmel Soan lowered his gaze. The others didn’t know what he was thinking.
The president spoke up, “Isn’t that a bit too cruel? The world is still in chaos, and other people will mutate if those people scratch them with scales and fins. We only have four hundred million now, but the number can quickly doot up to a billion.”
