"[I hope not to see it at all, I just hope these 22 rockets are a waste of effort.]"
Lin Xian turned around:
"Is it because you're afraid?"
Jask pressed his lips:
"Yes."
"If we can't observe the World-Ending White Light in the universe, then it means that the cause of this light comes from within Earth, or... it might not exist at all and only appear in your dreams."
"If that's the case, things become much simpler, at least within the range we can control, operate, and change."
"But, in the worst-case scenario, if this World-Ending White Light is truly some other aliens' work, or an extraterrestrial high civilization's, far more advanced than us... what can we do? What else can we do?"
"They are powerful enough to toss out light-speed weapons. Destroying us doesn't even warrant a notice, just like crushing an ant; does an ant have any chance to resist?"
Lin Xian didn't speak.
Because what Jask said was indeed true.
