From preparing tea to brewing tea, from tools to etiquette...

The Lebik aliens are like an Asian who grew up in the East, possessing a surprising familiarity with and aesthetic appreciation of Eastern culture.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting!"

Gently pushing the brewed tea towards Saki and Daigo, the Lebik alien finally spoke.

"I never would have guessed you were so familiar with Eastern culture?"

It wasn't Daigo who spoke, but Saki, who was assisting with this mission.

In fact, this mission originally did not require the involvement of the Extraterrestrial Alliance, but unfortunately, the Lebik aliens insisted that they only trusted the Extraterrestrial Alliance.

He will only honestly confess everything he knows if there are members of the Extraterrestrial Alliance present.

Left with no other choice, Saki reluctantly followed Daigo here to carry out the mission.

To be honest, if Daigo hadn't spoken up, Saki wouldn't have bothered with such a minor character as the Levik aliens!

"The highest good is like water, which benefits all things without striving."

"The ocean is vast because it embraces all rivers."

"When you're alone on a strange planet, you have to learn some of the local culture in order to integrate into this civilization smoothly, right?"

Smiling, he raised his teacup, and the Lebik alien unabashedly raised an eyebrow at Saki.

"Besides, Lebik is different from Earth. What we worship most there is 'plunder'."

"Regardless of the form of 'plunder,' the instinct to take what does not belong to us and make it our own is ingrained deep in the genes of us Lebik aliens."

"Especially for a species like humans, the very existence of them is enough to trigger our predatory instincts deep within our genes..."

Saki, who had encountered many different aliens, instantly understood the meaning behind the music.

"You want to plunder humans?"

Although many civilizations covet Earth, aliens like the Lebik aliens, who came solely to plunder humanity, are relatively rare.

To put it bluntly, any civilization that can leave its home planet has, to some extent, developed advanced energy technology and generally doesn't have to worry about food and resources.

In this situation, given enough time, population is not a major problem at all.

Even the most specialized civilizations, even those that haven't developed biotechnology, can still produce a large population using the most primitive methods of reproduction.

"Your civilization... it's not the kind that focuses on the individual, is it?"

Generally speaking, the prosperity of a civilization depends on the size of its population, and this is true even in the cosmic age.

But since the universe is so vast, there must be some bizarre civilizations.

These bizarre civilizations have very few members for various reasons.

Therefore, they even had to spread their own technology and civilizational ideas to absorb other races into their ranks.

In a sense, giants can be considered one of these bizarre civilizations, while the ancient civilization can be seen as a derivative civilization that continued the giants' ideology.

"No, we Lebikians are not an 'individual civilization'."

"Compared to those powerful and well-established civilizations, we Lebik aliens can only be considered a lost civilization that accidentally stumbled into the universe."

At this point, the Lebikian paused slightly before continuing.

"I don't know how the TPC classifies civilization types internally..."

"But we Lebik aliens actually divide the civilizations that will eventually be able to set foot in the universe into three categories."

"The first category is 'sound civilizations' that enter the universe from nothing, entirely through their own power."

"The second category is 'derivative civilizations' that have been inspired and guided by some powerful civilization, followed the trajectory of the former, and taken a shortcut to enter the universe."

"If the first two are considered successful, then the third type of civilization is a failure."

"Unable to break free of their home planet due to their own limited potential, they acquired interstellar travel technology by chance and entered the universe in a half-baked state..."

"This is us, the Lebik aliens, a 'lost civilization' that inherited the technology of an ancient civilization."

Chapter 363 The Lebik Alien

The P143 nebula is a solitary nebula, and theoretically, it is impossible for life and civilization to have arisen there.

However, at some unknown time, an individual from a powerful civilization appeared on a planet inside the P143 nebula.

As an individual, it was already on the verge of death, and even the most advanced technology could only slow down its injuries, not completely cure it.

In this context, individuals, following the traditions of their own civilization, integrated their bodies into the natural workings of the planet, thus giving the planet its original source of life.

Then, after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the most primitive life appeared on this planet.

Because the environment on this planet is so harsh, primitive life could not reproduce on it, let alone continue to evolve.

As a result, a predatory life form similar to birds evolved.

They were the original Lebikians, a race that plundered other lives from birth to death.

At birth, they substitute one's offspring for another of the same kind.

When the children reach adulthood, their parents will reappear and kill the beings that raised them, thus awakening their cruel and bloodthirsty nature.

When death approaches, the elderly Lebik aliens can only watch helplessly as younger lives devour their own flesh and blood, thus prolonging their own lives.

Even after they evolved true intelligence and civilization, the cruel nature of the Lebik aliens remained ingrained in their genes.

In fact, before officially venturing into space, the civilization of the Lebikians was a history of blood and tears for other races on their home planet.

The Lebik aliens plundered and enslaved most of the life on the planet, much like the aristocratic class in a slave society, until their slaves gradually died out.

As their number of slaves dwindled, the cruel Lebik aliens finally realized the gravity of the situation.

Unfortunately, the Lebik aliens' potential was simply insufficient to support them in breaking out of their home planet and venturing into the real universe.

If this were a normal scenario, the Lebik aliens would eventually be trapped on their home planet and perish, just like 99% of the surface civilizations in the universe.

The Lebik aliens are lucky because their planet still has a spaceship from billions of years ago.

No need to understand the principles, and too lazy to study the technology...

The Lebik aliens only need to learn how to build, replicate, and pilot this spaceship.

The infamous Lebik aliens, who abducted extraterrestrials, have officially entered the interstellar stage.

Unlike the Reicuran aliens who have been striving for a breakthrough in civilization.

From the moment the Lebik aliens set sail into space, they never even considered upgrading their civilization.

As aliens who inherited the lost technology of a powerful civilization, the greatest pleasure of the Lebik aliens is to kidnap creatures from other surface civilizations and then enslave them.

Unfortunately, the Lebik aliens have their sights set on humans on Earth this time.

......................................................................................................

"What a despicable civilization where everyone is evil."

After listening to the description from the Lebik aliens, Saki summarized without any hesitation.

"But this also explains why you possess 'miniaturization technology,' a powerful technology that can, to some extent, break the law of conservation of matter."

The Lebik alien calmly took a sip of tea and did not refute Saki's statement.

"You're right, the Lebik aliens are indeed a despicable civilization where everyone is evil."

Upon hearing what the Lebik alien on the other side said, Daigo immediately spoke up in rebuttal.

"No, at least you're not a bad person."

With his eyes fixed intently on the Lebik alien, Daigo could sense the other's peaceful and tranquil state of mind.

Based on this alone, Daigo was able to determine that the other party was not a malicious person.

Because no matter how well a true villain hides, he will be completely exposed to Daigo, the "Warrior of Light," just like a shadow exposed to the sunlight.

"You're wrong about that. I'm not actually a good person."

Gently setting down the teacup, the Lebik alien turned his gaze to Daigo and spoke in a confident and calm tone.

"Before coming to Earth, I was just like my kin..."

"They all enjoy enslaving other creatures and relish their fearful gazes."

Upon hearing this, Daigo was immediately taken aback.

Because he simply couldn't imagine that the gentle and calm Lebik alien in front of him would be the kind of cruel and bloodthirsty alien.

What happened to you?

Saki narrowed her eyes slightly, as if realizing something, and asked.

"That torrential rain two years ago...you seem to have called it the 'Rain of Divine Revelation'?"

"After that heavy rain, the entire Earth's ecosystem was cleansed, and some lucky individuals even became so-called 'supernatural beings'."

The voice paused again, and the Lebik alien looked at Daigo, whose face was full of disbelief, and suddenly chuckled softly.

"Ha, as you all guessed, I am one of the lucky ones after that heavy rain."

“From that day on, I felt as if I were bathed in eternal light, and I became aware of my past mistakes and evil.”

"And from that moment on, the shackles that had imprisoned the Lebik aliens for millions of years were broken..."

"For the first time, as a Lebik alien, I felt a desire other than plunder."

"It was a thirst for knowledge, a resentful desire, a wish to bring the Lebik aliens back on the right track."

Admittedly, Daigo was shocked by the Lebik aliens' claim.

This was his first encounter with an alien who had advanced to become a "supernatural individual," and this supernatural behavior seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined.

However, after the initial shock, a sense of fear arose deep within Daigo's heart.

An evil alien reforms—that sounds like a pretty good outcome.

The problem is that this change is too abrupt and too frightening.

The nature of an individual, or even an entire race, can be forcibly reversed, transforming them from cruel and bloodthirsty to peaceful and gentle.

Was the "divine rain" two years ago really as harmless as I imagined?

To put it bluntly, how is this any different from brainwashing?

Even further speculation is being made: were those lives that did not advance to become supernatural beings truly unaffected by that "rain of divine revelation"?

Is the current global atmosphere of peace truly the result of the TPC's efforts?

Chapter 364 Giants are friends of humans

The following day, on an intercity train returning to Japan.

"Daigo, what are you thinking about?"

"It seems like you've been spacing out since yesterday?"

Turning to look at the dazed Daigo, Saki deliberately lowered her voice and asked.

"I'm thinking about... that Lebik alien."

Startled from his reverie, Daigo answered in a similarly soft voice.

"Do you suspect he's deliberately creating a smokescreen?"

"You don't need to worry about that at all. All the intelligence he mentioned will be reviewed. The TPC executives won't easily believe such a luxury item that's hard to verify."

Saki was telling the truth, even though the Lebik aliens had fully confessed their plan to abduct humans.

However, TPC will not make a big fuss about this until the main force of the Lebik aliens arrives.

The best course of action would be to make some preparations in advance and intercept the main force of the Lebik aliens before they arrive.

Even so, this is still taking into account the result of that Lebik alien's temporary "rebellion".

Otherwise, TPC would most likely have blasted the Lebik aliens' ship to pieces in outer space when it arrived.
