At this moment, the leader of the Ata Steel Civilization, Solomon, stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Please calm down, elder. We were just thinking of going back to hold a symposium and give it some thorough consideration."
"You know, we're all democratic civilizations, and such a major matter must be decided by democratic vote."
"What we say doesn't count. We should wait for the parliament debate before giving you an answer."
The octopus being snorted coldly, then calmed down: "Then first suppress the historical artifacts of your Ata Steel Civilization, to show you how this works."
Solomon nodded: "That's fine as well."
The octopus waved a tentacle, and an item from a glass box was transported by several robots into a device that resembled a large drum washing machine.
There was a series of soft "click-clack" sounds.
In a matter of seconds, these items crumbled into powder, emitting tiny points of light.
