Wandering Meteor

Upon learning the sequence of events from that year, the decision of Wandering became crucial.

Because, judging from the current battle situation, the Titan Civilization and the Metal Civilization are almost in a deadlock; if any side experiences fluctuations in combat power, it would have profound effects. Currently, it was only with the support of Wandering that the Metal Civilization could reach a deadlock with the Titan Civilization. Should Wandering defect to the Titan Civilization, this subtraction and addition would be a fatal blow to the Metal Civilization. Even if Wandering does not defect but chooses not to participate in the war, it would still be a weakening of the Metal Civilization’s combat strength, and this is exactly what Constant Star Unrivaled wanted to see after revealing the truth.

Therefore, Constant Star Unrivaled said, "Wandering, now that you know the truth, the Metal Civilization is fundamentally a deceitful and cunning civilization. They stop at nothing to achieve their goals, even resorting to deception. The things they told you might not contain a trace of sincerity, as they were merely trying to steady you. You must not be fooled by them again. As the saying goes, a smart planet cannot be tripped by the same stone twice; I believe you are not that foolish planet. Instead of being deceived repeatedly by the Metal Civilization, why not join us, the Titan Civilization? They don’t cherish you, but I do. From now on, let’s address each other as brothers. I guarantee that no matter what happens in the future, I won’t deceive you like the Metal Civilization has; we will have an honest relationship."

Metal Civilization said, "Wandering, we know anything we say now is wrong, but you must see the current situation clearly, it’s Constant Star Unrivaled’s scheme, and you absolutely cannot fall for it! What we said earlier was heartfelt, and we truly beg you to give us a chance to make amends."

"Hehe..."

Wandering suddenly burst into cold laughter, "You Metal Civilization are truly hopeless, still trying to deceive me at this point. If you really wanted to accept me, why didn’t you choose to tell me the truth proactively during all the time I have been with the Metal Civilization? This proves that in your hearts, I have always been nothing but a tool. You are right, it’s Constant Star Unrivaled’s scheme, and he also speaks the truth. I won’t fall for his scheme, and I will not be deceived by you any longer!"

This was precisely what the Metal Civilization had feared; they were worried that once Wandering knew the truth, it would leave the Metal Civilization.

Moreover, with the realization of Wandering’s significance, their concern grew increasingly dire, making them even more fearful to divulge the truth.

Constant Star Unrivaled listened to Wandering’s indignant words, feeling a smug sneer in his heart, but verbally said, "Wandering, I trust your choice. So, what is your decision?"

Wandering replied, "My decision principle is simple; I will no longer be deceived by the Metal Civilization. Their deeds are as inexcusable as patricide or robbing one of their spouse. With such deep-seated hatred, how can I possibly make peace with my enemy? However, I will not fall into your scheme either. Therefore, I will transform my passive situation into an active one, taking control into my own hands. From this moment on, the course of this war will be up to me, Wandering!"

"Constant Star Unrivaled, I officially extend an invitation to you for us to work together to eliminate the Metal Civilization. After the war, I will only take the Metal Elements, leaving the other material elements for the Titan Civilization. This is how we’ll divide the benefits of our cooperation, what do you say?" This is Wandering’s choice to break the stalemate. If it remains passive, any decision would just be falling into the calculations of Constant Star Unrivaled. Thus, it required taking initiative, first to break the stalemate controlled by the Titan Civilization, and also considering its own future.

After all, it is a Metal Planet, in need of a vast amount of Metal Elements.
