Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"So the goblin empire still chose to continue with the project and even sacrificed lives for it?" Kael was somewhat puzzled by the goblins' decision.

Sometimes, the more he communicated with them, the more he could sense the scent of madness deep in the bones of these goblins.

Dr. Zack revealed a mad smile, as if muttering to himself:

"Someone has to do it, and now is still in time. If we wait any longer, it will truly be too late."

"Too late for what?"

"The potential to slay gods—the ultimate goal of the Heavenly Ladder Plan—is to ensure that the plan's offspring truly possess the potential to threaten or even kill deities.

But haven't you noticed? As the area of the divine continent grows larger, the number of species and lives there increases. The gods are still the same, but their growth rate is much faster than that of the lower realm.

At that time, we used the central brain to make an estimate, and we could basically deduce that if the current rate of development continues, it would take maybe seven to eight hundred years at the earliest, or at most twelve or thirteen hundred years. The entire continent united might not be able to kill even the weakest deity.

This is a terrifying conclusion. Right now, the only force that stands a chance to break this deadlock is us."

Kael's expression was complex, and he finally let out a soft sigh and said:

"So you initiated the Heavenly Ladder Plan just for this reason?"

"There are certainly other considerations as well, but mainly it's for this reason. On this land in the next few thousand years, it is not necessary that the goblin empire must stand.

As long as we can ultimately complete this plan, even if the achievements are transferred, plundered, or even if wars are started to obtain our results, it doesn't matter.

The one who can completely assimilate these results doesn't necessarily have to be us."

After finishing, Dr. Zack winked at Kael as if he wanted to convey something more.

But in the end, no one said anything.

Because the final battle had officially begun.

...

Meanwhile, in another corner of this city.

[Location: Wandong City · Goblin United Council Office]

At this moment, Chairman Ryan O'Malanchi was helplessly shaking his head at two members of the United Council:

"So you see, the situation is quite clear now, there's no point in saying anything more! The Alliance has no intention of letting us survive.

What we need to do right now is evacuate our people as quickly as possible. The docks at the port have already been set up."

"Instead of bickering with me here, you'd better think about how to get your wives and children on the last evacuation transport."

Perhaps Chairman Ryan's words had shaken the two strategy supporters who were gripping Ryan's collar. Filled with anger, they let go, looked at Ryan, and shook their heads, saying:

"Ryan O'Malanchi, perhaps supporting you for this position was a grave mistake.

We thought you were just outwardly weak and compromising, but deep down, you were prepared to face death, willing to die generously for the people, for Wandong City, for the goblin empire.

But now it seems we were blind back then."

Watching the two once fairly close friends now looking at him with mockery and disdain, Chairman Ryan showed a gentle smile and said:

"Maybe I'm getting old, and have started to fear death!"

"That's no excuse... Forget it, it's too late to say anything now. The Anti-Casting Field Device is no longer operational, and it can't be repaired and restarted in less than a day.

I'm going to activate Wandong City's protection system. You're not going to stop me from doing this, are you?"

The strategy-oriented goblin senator stared at Ryan as if they were about to explode into action if Ryan did not consent.

Contrary to their expectations, Chairman Ryan did not choose to refuse again but nodded and said:

"Absolutely no problem. To ensure that people can successfully evacuate Wandong City through the underground passages before the enemy arrives, they do need a certain level of protection."

"Good, then it's settled." At last, feeling powerless to change their fate, the two strategy members finally compromised.

In these desperate times, they could finally prioritize thinking about their wives and children.

Having dedicated a lifetime to Wandong City, considering their wives and children in such a dire situation should be no problem, right?

On the side, several members of the surrender faction were nodding in agreement, seemingly in favor of Ryan's choices, but privately, they had already begun to take action, wanting to pass the news of Wandong City's evacuation to the Alliance.

...

But at the moment, the overall situation on the Alliance's side was not so good.

Magic explosions resounded incessantly like firecracker blasts across the flat ground, and the bullets whistling through the air let out terrifying screeches in broad daylight.

The scene of bullets flying everywhere looked like the sounding of the trumpets of the apocalypse.
