"Human Federation?"
From her throne, Keisha conducted a search within the Sacred Knowledge Treasury.
After confirming this was a civilization that had never appeared before, her expression immediately turned solemn.
She recalled Angel Yan's earlier report that hundreds of star systems in a certain region of the Milky Way had simultaneously undergone anomalies.
In Keisha's understanding, causing hundreds of stars to stir at once would require the mobilization of a Celestial Computer.
Aside from demons, Keisha could think of no other civilization capable of such a feat.
If it truly was demons, then it meant Morgana had not only completed her revival but had also rapidly restored the Demon Legion's strength to achieve this.
For demons to accomplish this, relying solely on that bitch Morgana was clearly impossible—unless someone was aiding her.
Keisha immediately thought of the Styx Civilization.
The Angel Civilization's Order of Justice was currently at its peak; even if demons and Styx truly allied, she would not fear them in the slightest.
But she could not rule out unexpected complications.
To be safe, Keisha made a decision:
"Inform Heavenly King Hexi of the relevant situation."
"Leng, you will immediately lead a squad to the Milky Way and investigate the situation there as thoroughly as possible. If you encounter demons, do not act rashly for now."
"Yes, my Queen." Another Senior Guard Angel Leng accepted the order.
"Additionally, regarding the Taotie Fleet's invasion of Earth, that must also be monitored... Zhixin, go convey the Angel's will to Death God Karl, and tell the civilizations under his command to stay in line." Keisha's voice was cold and clear:
"The Angel's justice does not permit wars of the strong bullying the weak."
"Yes."
Solar System, Earth.
Super Seminary.
Inside a monitoring room, various precision instruments hummed, and screens flickered with light.
"Deno No. 3 has sent feedback: a certain star region within the Milky Way has experienced anomalies, located over a thousand light-years from Earth."
"A God-level Civilization is suspected to be active there..."
When Lian Feng received Yu Qin's alert, she furrowed her brow:
"Will it affect Earth?"
"Currently uncertain..." Yu Qin shook her head.
Lian Feng was filled with worry.
The Taotie Fleet had already arrived near Pluto via the Great Worm Bridge Station and launched their first wave of military probes against Earth.
Xiong Bing Lian had just been formed and had not yet developed combat capability.
If some anomaly occurred within the Milky Way at this time and spread to Earth, they would have no means to defend against it.
"Immediately report this to General Ducao."
"Yes..." Yu Qin was about to proceed when her pretty face suddenly changed expression:
"Report, Deno No. 3 has received a mysterious message, suspected to be some kind of military warning!"
"What?" Lian Feng was stunned.
"The sender calls themselves the 'Human Federation.' They claim that all assets within the Solar System, including everything on Planet Earth, should belong to them." Yu Qin's voice fluctuated with agitation:
"They demand that all governments on Earth immediately represent Earth Civilization in disarming completely, and await their civilization's fleet to take over the Solar System. If we resist stubbornly, they will carry out a great purge against us!"
"Human Federation?" Lian Feng was puzzled.
What kind of force or civilization had suddenly emerged from nowhere?
Take over the Solar System and Earth?
Quite the bold claim—was this yet another invader?
As Lian Feng pondered, Yu Qin's expression continued to shift:
"This message was not sent to us alone... it was broadcast to the entire Earth Civilization!"
"Deno No. 3 shows that all communication channels on Earth have indiscriminately received this message!"
"The source of this message is—"
"The Tianjin Star System, the very star region where the anomalies occurred!"
Lian Feng's pupils contracted as she quickly looked over, sensing great trouble.
In an instant, the entire Earth Civilization was shaken.
Every major website and news channel scrambled to broadcast this message:
"This is a message broadcast from the cosmos—a mysterious alien civilization calling itself the 'Human Federation' has issued a warning to the entire Earth."
"They intend to take over Earth, even the entire Solar System, and have already displayed clear intentions of military threat."
"If this message is accurate, it is expected that in the near future, an alien fleet may invade Earth. Governments of various nations have issued statements declaring they will actively prepare for war to prevent unforeseen circumstances..."
Under the overwhelming flood of reports, the entire Earth fell into a state of widespread panic.
Yet some remained skeptical.
"Damn, the Human Federation? Which alien civilization is that now... sounds like something made up in a sci-fi movie?"
Zhao Xin voiced his reasonable doubt, "In this universe, besides Earth humans, are there really other human civilizations out there?"
Beside him, Lena rolled her eyes. "The concept of 'human,' if you translate it, is actually an extension of the concept of God River Body life."
"The universe is vast. It's not like only you Earthlings are God River Body life."
"For example, our people from the Lieyang Civilization look pretty much the same as you Earth humans, alright?"
"Just calling it human..." Ge Xiaolun hit the nail on the head, but was also quite curious:
"I heard you say that in our Known Universe, life forms are mainly divided into God River Bodies, Beast Bodies, Triangle Bodies, and so on."
"The Super Seminary was founded to protect God River Body life civilizations, which is why they came to help us protect Earth."
"Since this Human Federation calls itself human, doesn't that mean they're on our side?"
"Wasn't Earth already being invaded by the Beast Body Taotie Civilization? Why isn't this Human Federation coming to fight the Taotie with us, instead threatening us? What's that about?"
Lena furrowed her brow. She was also unclear and could only shake her head lightly:
"How would I know... This so-called Human Federation—this goddess has heard of it for the first time too."
"The Super Seminary was indeed established to protect the hard-won God River Body life, but that doesn't mean all God River Body life civilizations necessarily follow the Super Seminary's arrangements."
"Our Lieyang came to Earth out of friendship to help you. This Human Federation comes with ill intent, so they're most likely enemies to you Earthlings."
"There's no written rule in the Known Universe that God River Body life cannot kill God River Body life."
Qi Lin, wiping down her sniper rifle, listened to their discussion and began to think, her delicate brows knitting together:
"So doesn't that mean Earth is now facing invasions from two alien civilizations?"
"How are we supposed to fight this war?"
Hearing this, the others felt a surge of pressure.
A Taotie Fleet and a Human Federation—with just these few green recruits forming the Xiong Bing Lian, could they really protect Earth Civilization?
None of them had any confidence.
"Hey, why bother worrying about that? Aren't there leaders above us?" Liu Chuang said nonchalantly.
"Just follow orders, right?"
"Didn't they say the Super Genes inside us let us soar through the skies, burrow into the earth, and destroy worlds?"
"Whatever fleet comes, we'll just fight when the time comes."
Lena's mouth twitched, and inwardly she was also uncertain.
The Taotie Fleet was manageable—with the Super Seminary leading, a mere Spaceflight-level Civilization could barely be handled.
But this newly emerged Human Federation seemed far more troublesome.
After all, neither the Super Seminary nor the Lieyang Civilization knew anything about it.
The unknown was the most terrifying.
