Plante and Marnina III saw the confusion on Morgan's face.
Yet they remained calm.
Plante explained evenly, "Morgan, you must have thought of it too, right? It's impossible for us to advance to the Planetary level through the 'Civilization Ascension Plan.'"
"Yes, no matter how I look at it, there isn't enough time." Morgan nodded honestly.
Plante's gaze suddenly became exceptionally sharp. "Since there isn't enough time, we can only resort to dirty tricks!"
"Dirty tricks? What dirty tricks could there be?" Morgan was utterly bewildered.
But then, a bolt of lightning exploded in Morgan's mind! He suddenly thought of another possibility!
"Wait! The 'dirty trick' you mean couldn't be... defecting to the Dark Energy Rebel Army, could it???!!!" Morgan had thought of this outrageous possibility.

Since the proper path of the Silver Federation's "Civilization Ascension Plan" would not work, and Plante and Marnina III did not want to die of old age, they could only take the crooked path of the Dark Energy Rebel Army.
Seeing Morgan's stunned expression, the corner of Alice's lips curled into a smile.
She giggled. "Hehe, as expected of my student—you're smart! That's right, this 'crooked path' is the Dark Energy Rebel Army."
With a wave of Alice's small hand, a dark purple diamond-shaped emblem appeared in the center of her forehead.
The diamond emblem emitted long, ghostly purple waves of light. Intricate patterns were engraved upon it, and the designs drifted outward in rings through the purple glow, as if they possessed a soul-stealing power.
It was not just Alice. Plante and Marnina III waved their hands at the same time, and identical purple emblems appeared on
