Humanity Is the Future

Do you mean Supernova weapons?

"Yes, sir, we must discuss this matter now."

"I had long heard that the Lord of Drakes was incredibly benevolent, and now it seems that's indeed the case," Han Mingxuan said with a smile.

"Sir, your sarcasm is meaningless to me now. What we need to discuss now is the impact of your Supernova weapons on the future of the universe."

Han Mingxuan led the two to his room at a leisurely pace, and then slowly brewed a pot of tea.

"Don't get so worked up, have a cup of tea first."

"This is no longer the time for tea, sir. We are discussing the future of humanity."

Upon hearing this, Han Mingxuan paused in his actions.

"Yes, the future of humanity. So you, Lord of Drakes, also know about it. We're here to discuss the future of humanity."

"But sir, the future of humanity doesn't mean the extermination of all other races in the universe; that's too extreme."

"We have no way of knowing what role other races play in this ecosystem throughout the universe."

"From the most rational and cruel perspective, we can conquer them, rule over them, and even enslave them, but we must be extremely cautious about whether or not to exterminate them."

"Because we have absolutely no idea what kind of impact the extermination of that race will have on humanity in the hundreds or even thousands of years to come, or what kind of impact it will have on the entire universe!"

"We are fighting not just for the present Imperium of Man, but for the future generations of humanity!"

"Sir, please address this issue squarely!"

Looking at the Lord of Drakes, whose face was as black as charcoal and whose eyes were almost spitting fire, Han Mingxuan's smile grew wider and wider.

"Ha ha! Vulkan, you truly live up to your name of benevolence."

Vulkan didn't speak; he just looked at Han Mingxuan, needing an answer from Han Mingxuan.

"Very well, Lord of Drakes, out of respect for your mercy, I will formally answer your question."

Han Mingxuan drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.

"Vulkan, you think my approach is extreme, right?"

Isn't that so?

"Of course, I know my actions were extreme, and I have a very clear understanding of my actions and their consequences."

"But is that what I think, Vulkan?"

"As the saying goes, times make heroes. To put it bluntly, people are products of their environment, especially in this era and under the current global situation."

"If humanity doesn't go to extremes, there's no place for humans in this universe; humans will become food for others."

"Human beings are merely animals that came to the universe from Earth, but it is true that human civilization has developed to such an extent that it has given birth to unparalleled virtues and spirit."

"But in such an extreme cosmic environment, the first thing humanity needs to consider is survival."

"It's not that I want to commit countless crimes through war, nor that I want to wipe out all other races in the universe."

"After all, humanity currently occupies an absolutely dominant position in this universe; from a fateful perspective, humanity is the protagonist of destiny during this period."

"But those bastards, the Tyranids and the Orks."

"Whether they are from the Warp or the Realspace, they always want to enslave humanity; they always want to devour humanity completely!"

How many years has it taken for humans to evolve from monkeys on Earth to the Overlord conquering the stars?

"Humanity has come this far not so that they could indulge in gluttony and feasting!"

"These days, anyone who wants to lay a hand on a human should test their teeth first!"

"I know of your mercy, Lord of Drakes, but you are too merciful. This is not ten thousand years ago!"

"You should consider the future of humanity, that's true, but without humanity, the universe has no future!"

"This isn't the first time I've wiped out the entire T'au Empire."

"I can tell you the truth: on a cosmic scale, if a fish takes ten thousand years to evolve to that shape, then it's just an explosion, nothing more."

"At worst, I'll just become fertilizer for human farmland. You can call me a criminal, you can call me extreme."

"But remember this, Lord of Drakes: if humanity doesn't become extreme, humans will become food."

Without the present, how can we talk about the future?

The current situation is that every race in the universe wants a piece of the territory of the Imperium of Man.

They all want to turn humans into their food and their slaves.

In such situations, any means are reasonable and justified.

In other worlds, such extreme thinking would be absolutely wrong, as it would lead to destruction, but in this world...

If your actions are not ruthless enough, and your thoughts lack an extreme side, then true destruction will always await you.

Until one day it swallows up the entire civilization, leaving not even a trace.

"Merciful Lord of Drakes, this era demands that the Demigods of the Imperium step forward and make the most difficult and ruthless decisions."

"I dare not say what the needs of this era are for others, but for you, Vulkan, this is cruel."

"Let's go. Leave here before the main Tyranids force arrives, rebuild your Legion, and I want to see you and your Legion on the battlefield then."

The Lord of Drakes remained silent, simply staring blankly at the man before him.

Before leaving, he asked one last question.

"Mr. Han, in your view, where should humanity go, and where should the fate of the universe lead?"

"I'm not sure about that either, Vulkan."

"But from my current perspective, my compatriots are living in dire straits all over the universe."

"In these sufferings, the shadows of Xenos and Heretics will appear."

"I cannot ignore the suffering of my fellow citizens for the sake of a future I myself am uncertain about."

"Although I have lived long enough and my power is great enough, my heart is still that of a Mortals."

"I also have emotions and desires; I cannot stand by and watch them suffer without doing anything; that would make me angry."

"And my anger needs those scum to bear it."

Before leaving, the Lord of Drakes gave Han Mingxuan a deep look.

"Thank you, sir, thank you for your kindness to humanity."

"Father, would you like me to speak with them?"

Not long after Vulkan and Corvus left, the Night Haunter appeared.

Although Corvus didn't say a word after arriving, the Night Haunter could tell at a glance.

The reason Vulkan came here for a second stint was entirely at Corvus's urging.

"No need, Konrad. Our biggest problem right now is the Tyranids."

"What's the situation with Xiao Ning?"

"She has been staying on the Flagship during this period, and according to our monitoring data report, Xiao Ning's brainwaves have shown abnormal deviations."

"It's obvious that the main Tyranids force is coming soon."

How is the mobilization of all forces progressing?

"The First Legion has stabilized the Orks front; the Eighth Legion and Ninth Legions will serve as the main fleets in this Tyranids War."

"Secondly, the Thirteenth Legion has also mobilized troops to provide support."

"Sub-units from other Legions are also on their way, but their numbers are relatively limited."

How much time do we have left?

"Less than six months left, Father."

"Okay, you stay here and prepare well, I'm going to Terra."

"To Terra?"

"Yes, there are some things I need to arrange before the big battle begins."
