"Hey, hey, hey, Sister Summer, this is not the time for you. Don't be so stubborn!"
Seeing that Princess Summer was not in a good mood, Theresa said anxiously with cold sweat on her forehead, "That was tens of thousands of years ago. Even if your ancestor became a deserter, does it have anything to do with you? Let's think about how to get out of this hopeless situation! "
"No, it does. My ancestor was a deserter, and so was I. Since the moment I watched my father being killed by my uncle, I've been running away."
Princess Summer smiled miserably. "I saw my uncle stabbing a knife into my father's chest with my own eyes. My father's blood gushed out and zigzagged toward the corner where I was hiding, as if he were reaching out his helpless hands on behalf of him and calling for me to help him.
"But I didn't have the courage to come out of my hiding place and fight my uncle, the regicide and usurper, with my proud chest as the princess of the Kingdom of Eagle.
"I, as a coward, could only run away without looking back and bury the scene in my heart, not even daring to recall it.
"I hypnotized myself, over and over again. I was the most useless person. I didn't have Sister Hera's wisdom, Sister Natasha's bravery, and I didn't have Theresa's decisiveness. I was just a phoenix whose feathers had been plucked. It was impossible for me to take revenge with my own strength. Surviving was my limit.
"It seemed that through such hypnosis, I could completely let go of my guilt, my longing for my father, and my hatred for my uncle.
"Even when I gave myself to Blackjack, wasn't that just another form of escape? I always told myself that one day, Black Jack would avenge me. Serving him well was the only way I could get my revenge. Even though I already knew deep down that Black Jack didn't take my revenge seriously, I was still unwilling to face the truth. I was still running away. As long as there was the slightest possibility of deceiving myself, I would continue to run away.
"Hehe, hehe, hahahaha, so that's how it is. Our ancestors from ten thousand years ago, we have been shameful deserters. The blood of deserters and traitors flows in my veins. No wonder I am so cowardly.
"Look, I'm looking for excuses for my avoidance again, blaming my problems on my ancestors. Isn't this another form of avoidance?
"However, Captain Gao Zunlong and Captain Kelly are right. Running away can't solve the fundamental problem. Even if my ancestors and I give up all glory and perseverance and bury our heads in the sand like ostriches, there will be a day when we can't run away anymore, and that is now.
"I really regret that I didn't rush out and fight uncle to the death. Yes, I can't beat uncle, but at least I can let this kingslaying usurper see the pride of the Eagle Kingdom's princess, and then I can die with my father. The history books of the future will eventually record that there was once such a Eagle Kingdom, and there was once such a princess! Even if the history books are destroyed in the destruction of the Emerald Continent, at least, my name will turn into a shining spark and fly to the endless sea of stars to see the afterglow of the peak of the ancient civilization! "
"Sister A Xia, don't — don't think that way …"
The more Theresa listened to Princess A Xia, the more she felt that something was wrong. "When the enemy is strong and we are weak, it's not a problem to make a strategic turn temporarily. I used to know a senior who was particularly good at circling a planet 360 degrees and stabbing the enemy in the back, but that didn't stop him from becoming a great hero who was admired by thousands of people! When your uncle was usurping the throne, if you had rushed out recklessly, you would have died long ago. I think your father wouldn't want to see you die tragically in front of him. He would rather use his life in exchange for yours so that you can live a good life! "
"What's the difference between dying at that time and dying now?"
Princess A Xia smiled miserably. "Right, there is a difference, which is that I've spent several more years as a hilarious and humiliating doll!
"Live a good life? Do you think that being played by Blackjack as a puppet and a … 'battery' counts as living a good life? Think about it. What's the point of me and all the ancestors in the past ten thousand years living in this illusionary dream? "
Princess A Xia collapsed to the ground helplessly. Covering her face with her long hair and her slim hands, she burst into tears.
Theresa felt that her head was about to explode.
D * mn it, she hated it the most when women cried, especially when they didn't care about the situation and were venting their emotions here. It's not that I don't want you to feel sentimental about your past, but we have to be clear about the importance of time and place, okay? If she continued crying, she would be so upset that she would want to cry, too!
"Wu … Wu … Wu …"
Theresa suddenly felt that her nose was sore and her eyes were swollen. As if she were being manipulated by a mysterious force, she hugged Princess A Xia beyond her control and cried together with her.
Then, she realized what was going on and slapped herself hard twice.
"A * shole. Control your hormones and stop crying here. Do you really think that you are a magic girl? You are an ambitious man who swore to be the best cannon in the universe!"
Theresa roared in her heart.
Forget it. I can't count on Princess A Xia anymore. I can only count on myself.
"Jade, how many resources can we mobilize right now? If I completely activate the 'Witch Gene', you have to give me some super weapons so that I can go out and fight Black Jack, right?" Theresa asked.
"Of course. This is the list of all the weapons and resources that we can mobilize right now." Streams of information were flowing out of Jade's eyes like a waterfall.
With a solemn expression, Theresa was so focused that she would not let go of any weapon that could be used.
She had no choice but to fight Black Jack, not only for the Emerald Continent and the Bloody Battle Demon Sector, not only for the girls in front of her and outside, but also for the glory of the Pangu Universe!
Suddenly, Theresa's eyes glittered.
"An escape capsule? You're really hiding an escape capsule! "
She was so excited that even her voice changed. She immediately abandoned the idea of fighting Black Jack to defend the glory of the Pangu Universe.
"There is indeed an emergency escape capsule, but I'm afraid that it won't be of much help to solve our problem," Jade explained.
Emerald explained, "Because of the serious shortage of energy, the exploration of the nearby star areas has not been carried out for a long time. For us, this escape capsule is like a small boat in the middle of the ocean. Even if we escape with it, how far can we go, and where can we escape to?
"According to the calculation of the resources that the escape capsule can carry, it can support us to perform a hundred space jumps and maintain the hibernation state for decades at most. In the vast sea of stars, such a short distance is not even half a step. The result will be that the resources will run out. The two of you will turn into two dry bones in the escape capsule, and I will be forced to close it. The escape capsule will turn into our grave and drift in the dark vacuum forever. “
"Such a result is not much better than falling into Black Jack's hands. If anything, it is even worse. At the very least, Black Jack may spare our lives. We can surrender for now and deal with him slowly. If Black Jack wants to completely control Jade, it will be impossible for him to destroy me immediately. I will try to protect you. But if we are lost in the sea of stars and run out of energy, our only outcome will be death.
"It is exactly because the odds of survival are close to zero that I did not tell you about the escape capsule earlier, in case you had unrealistic fantasies."
"No, you're wrong. You should've told me earlier."
Theresa's eyes were beaming with confidence. "Without star maps and coordinates, it is true that a hundred space jumps cannot solve any problem. But what if very precise star maps and coordinates are stored here?"
