Chapter 909: Chapter 907: Look at That Worthless Scrap Metal of Yours

I’ve lived most of my life, and this is the most ridiculous reason Augustus has ever heard.

Being invaded by a Level Two civilization, and you need to purchase a fleet composed of 100 Level Five peak combat ships? You even got the most powerful Zuda fleet in the universe, I haven’t read many books, but don’t take me for a fool! This isn’t just using a cannon to kill a mosquito, this is using a nuclear bomb!

That Level Two civilization probably never thought in their lifetime they’d have such a spectacle, right?

Moreover, someone as impressive as you, what Level Two civilization would dare or have the ability to invade your civilization?

Aren’t you the one who, with a single call, has tens of thousands of life forms beyond Level Six rushing to serve as your fighters? Do you really need such things to deal with a mere Level Two civilization?

Come on, find a better excuse unless you’re so bored to death that you entertain yourself this way, but how could there be someone so bored in this world?

"What? You don’t believe it!"

"How... how am I supposed to believe this?" Even if you beat Augustus to death, he still couldn’t believe it.

Right now, there are various theories among cosmic civilizations. Some say Zhang Menglong comes from a super powerful ancient civilization that existed since the beginning of the universe, hidden in a place other civilizations couldn’t discover due to their advanced technology.

Others say the Ritian Sect is the descendant of survivors from the Zuda Civilization, and perhaps now they are strong enough and want to start retaliating against those civilizations that once attacked them, with the Ritian Sect just leading the charge.

There are all sorts of theories, but without exception, everyone is convinced they come from a civilization that is highly advanced in both science and martial arts, because only by combining and reaching the peak of both science and martial arts could they produce such outstanding descendants.

Not to mention anything else, just one person easily hacking into the Light of the Universe platform’s system, refining Power Pills and Divine Strength Pills, and forging a Level Seven martial weapon effortlessly—these are feats that no one from any advanced civilization in today’s cosmic civilization could achieve.

"Don’t believe it if you don’t want to, who cares!" Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes. No one believed him if he lied, and no one believed his truth, either.

But Ganei and Makabaka beside him also rolled their eyes because they didn’t believe what Zhang Menglong said.

"Actually, the planet I grew up on is just a Level One elementary civilization," Zhang Menglong said, "Before I came to the cosmic civilization, we hadn’t even communicated with people from other civilizations. Later, we encountered some people who wanted to invade our civilization. I thought it was wrong, we needed the ability to protect ourselves, so I came out to buy warships."

"That’s... but that doesn’t make sense!" Augustus was even more incredulous. Some of it logically made sense, but how could someone from a Level One civilization have so much money and be so powerful?

"Actually, it’s nothing. My ancestors had some luck and got hold of a spaceship, then wandered the cosmos for a while and left me some assets. Actually, I’m just an idle person inheriting family property," he said.

"It’s really unbelievable!"

Suddenly, Augustus remembered something that happened recently in their Twin Whales Cosmic Empire.

"Mr. Zhang, could I ask you a question?"

"Go ahead, but I’m just a small fry from a Level One civilization, not well-informed, so I might not be able to answer," Zhang Menglong replied.

Augustus immediately got a headache. If someone like him is considered small fry, then what are they?

"It’s like this, a while ago our civilization was visited by several Level Five civilization fleets. They destroyed a Level Three and a Level Four civilization fleet. Do you know about this incident?"

"Are you talking about the Gugol Civilization and the Xizhi Civilization?"

"Yes!" Augustus thought, yep, this matter is related to Zhang Menglong.

"I have a friend, and Gugol wanted to invade his girlfriend’s civilization. Do you think I could just sit by?"

"And that Xizhi Civilization, they actually wanted to help the Gugol Civilization. As a friend, I couldn’t just sit and watch!" Zhang Menglong asked, "You’re not going to hold me responsible, are you?"

"No, no, of course not!"

According to their Twin Whales Cosmic Empire’s laws, they should hold Zhang Menglong accountable, but could they even dare? When an individual’s power overrides a society’s regulatory capacity, then that regulation is useless.

"However, I did a bit overboard with this matter," Zhang Menglong said, "They barged in recklessly, probably damaged quite a bit, and also caused some losses for our Twin Whales Cosmic Empire."

Zhang Menglong took out a Crystal Card and handed it to Augustus, "Consider this a small token from me, tell the King not to hold a grudge against a country bumpkin like me."

"How could I accept this!" Augustus immediately pushed the card back. Even if you offer nothing, the King wouldn’t dare hold a grudge against you.

"Take it," Zhang Menglong insisted, "I’m also a member of the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire. Seeing our Cosmic Empire in such shambles, I also feel a bit uneasy."

Zhang Menglong continued, "Look at those warships of ours, what they are is just junk. Hurry up and get some good ones. I’ll refer someone to you, buy spaceships from her, mention my name and you’ll get a huge discount!"

"Junk..." Augustus kept repeating these four words to himself.

The entire Twin Whales Cosmic Empire had only upgraded to a Level Five civilization around 2 million years ago, but to assemble those 12 Level Five elementary fleets, their Lord had used nearly half of the 2 million years’ savings!

Some neighboring civilizations that upgraded even later than them were still using Level Four peak civilization combat fleets; so many were envious of their fleets.

Though somewhat disdainful externally, Augustus was still proud of their Cosmic Empire’s fleet.

But now, in Zhang Menglong’s words, these fleets turned into so-called junk.

But there’s no arguing with it; compared to Zhang Menglong’s fleet, saying these 12 fleets are junk might even be flattering them!

"If you don’t take it, that means you look down on me, and if you look down on me, I might just flip out!" Zhang Menglong actually wanted his Cosmic Empire to be a bit stronger so Earth’s environment would be a bit more stable. He didn’t want to handle emergencies personally all the time.

"Alright, I need to go back, feel free to manage yourself, Legion Commander!"

"Mr. Zhang, wait, I’ve already informed the King of our Twin Whales Cosmic Empire, and he would like to meet you," Augustus invited.

"Tell him I’m busy," Zhang Menglong said, "I’m hurrying home, maybe next time! Tell him, if he has free time, he can visit my planet."

Zhang Menglong gave Earth’s number and coordinates to Augustus, then immediately had Gou Dan activate all the warships.

If a combat mission is required, top-notch warship operators are necessary, but just for basic navigation, the warships’ built-in Artificial Intelligence can easily handle it.

"Boom!"

Over 200,000 warships started simultaneously, causing the entire port to shake like an earthquake.

"Those warships have started up!"

"This is terrifying, with such warships, the Twin Whales Cosmic Empire would be invincible, right?"

"We need to get this news back at once; our civilization has always been strained with them, if the King doesn’t know this news and sends a fleet, our entire civilization might be gone!"

"Quick! Take photos! Record videos!"

...

"He truly is a remarkable person," Augustus connected Zhang Menglong’s Crystal Card to the Cosmic Bank’s wireless network system. Though he couldn’t deposit or withdraw, he could at least check the balance.

But that number left him absolutely stunned.

"I... 1 million stars?"
