Bam!
Before she could finish her words, she was thrown out by Blackjack's tentacles that looked like demon arms. She fell into the mountains of corpses and blood of the demons, and countless wounds were left on her body by the sharp bones of the demons.
Princess A Xia was soaked in blood. She couldn't tell whether it was hers or the demons'.
"Well said, but what's the use of it?"
Black Jack licked the blood that splashed from Princess A Xia's body and said with a smile, "I like humans. I like you little things that emit the brilliance of emotions and wills all the time. It is this kind of brilliance that can fill the stomachs of those so-called 'gods and devils' in the higher dimensions of the universe. Then, our Devourer Clan will devour all of these 'gods and devils'.
"You're like flies trapped in glass bottles. You look at the splendid world outside, buzzing and bumping into each other until your heads are broken and bleeding. You might even become a bloody artwork on the glass wall. Perhaps, you're like moths darting into a flame. This is the ultimate command that's engraved in your genes and can't be changed.
"Then, since you don't want to enter the warm embrace that I've created for you and insist on facing the cold and horrible reality, I'll grant you your wish. Pick up your weapon and continue to fight. Then, struggle, scream, and die in the deepest despair!"
Blackjack burst into laughter. Countless demon tentacles rose from behind him and danced wildly like thousands of pythons.
Gritting her teeth, Princess A Xia tried to stand up again and again, but she fell to the ground again and again. More wounds were left on her body by the broken bones and broken weapons, and more blood flowed out.
Moved by Princess A Xia's willpower, the demons around her clenched their weapons and gritted their teeth to resist Blackjack's fear.
Dragon Girl Hera, Mercenary Leader Natasha, Cat Girl Ke Er, Elf Vera, and all the girls under Black Jack's control watched everything calmly with their grayish-brown eyes.
They were expressionless, and their bodies seemed to be sealed by Blackjack. They didn't move at all.
However, circles of ripples were surging in the weakest form in the depths of his frosty grayish-brown eyes.
"Sisters, wake up!"
Princess A Xia finally stood up, but every second she stood was torture that was worse than death.
She knew that it was impossible for her to defeat Blackjack with her own strength.
She only hoped that her efforts could wake up Hera, Natasha, Vera, and Ke Er. If they could cut off Black Jack's energy supply and fight side by side, they might have a chance to win.
"Wake up, sisters. Wake up and face the real Blackjack with me. We can … create miracles!"
Princess A Xia shouted inwardly.
Black Jack seemed to have seen through her heart, and said lightly, "Now, are you hoping for a miracle in your heart? Do you know what a 'miracle' is?
"Miracles are things that will never happen."
…
"The escape pod is ready to depart. It is expected to ignite in ten seconds.
"This place is too dangerous. It won't be too late to confirm the jump coordinates after we escape into the boundless sea of stars.
"Countdown begins. Ten, nine, eight, seven …"
Inside the escape pod, Emerald's calm and cold voice sounded.
As if he had been punched right in the middle of his face, Han Te crouched on the liquid alloy chair in a daze and watched the battle between Princess Summer and Blackjack.
Princess A Xia's blood seemed to be flowing on his pupils.
He was in a trance and couldn't help but tremble. It seemed that every cut on Princess A Xia's body was also deeply cut on his body.
"Stop."
When he saw that Princess A Xia once again dragged her bruised body and stood up shakily from the pool of blood, the fortress of rationality in the depths of his mind was finally shattered. He whispered, "Stop the countdown."
"What?"
Emerald's voice was a little surprised, but the countdown continued.
"I f * cking told you to stop!"
Han Te suddenly jumped up from the chair, his eyes full of anger towards himself and Blackjack. He growled, "Even if you launch us out now, I will never tell you the coordinates of the Pangu Universe. I swear, I'd rather die of thirst, starvation, or old age in the boundless sea of stars. You can wait to become a piece of scrap metal that has run out of energy!"
Emerald stopped the countdown.
Drops of liquid metal reformed in front of Chu Ge and reformed into Captain Kelly's appearance.
"What do you want to do?" Emerald asked calmly.
"I, I don't know."
Han Te was a little hesitant. "I just feel that watching Sister A Xia and so many other girls being ravaged by Blackjack while I just leave seems … particularly cowardly."
"It's not particularly cowardly. You just made the most reasonable choice for an ordinary person under such circumstances," Emerald said.
"So, it's just generally cowardly. There's nothing special about it."
"…"
Han Te said, "Do you also think that I'm not manly enough and that I'm even worse than that scumbag Blackjack?"
"From a physiological point of view, you've now returned to a 100% male state," Emerald said.
Fei Cui said, "There is no doubt about that."
"What about from another point of view?" Han Te asked.
Emerald was silent.
"So, this organ is the only thing that can prove that I'm still a f * cking man right now."
Han Te grinned and shook his head slowly. "No. Or rather, I've never been a real man. At the very least, I'm not a man like Grandpa Yao, my master, Lei Chenghu, Boss Bai, or even Li Jialing or A Boxing Champion.
"I — I grew up in a bloody paradise. Although my master brought me a feeble light, the darkness around me was too strong. It was so strong that we had to do our best just to survive. We had no time to think about pride, dignity, mission, meaning, or whether we were men or not.
"Although I ran into Grandpa Yao and the most distinguished men and women in the Pangu universe through a series of coincidences, and I experienced all the magnificent and soul-stirring battles with them, I — I knew very well in my heart that they were the protagonists of the war, and I was just an insignificant character who was responsible for making jokes and cheering for the protagonists in the background.
"There has never been an opportunity for me to make the final decision and release all my masculinity by burning my life to my heart's content. Under normal circumstances, I only need to follow Grandpa Yao, Boss Bai, or Master Fist King and help them clean up the battlefield.
"So, hehe. That's why I could deceive myself time and time again, believing that I was a man on the same level as Grandpa Yao, Boss Bai, A Boxing Champion, and even Li Jialing, and that we were all experts who were brave enough to face bloody fates. Our combat ability might be different, but the hearts of the experts were the same.
"In fact, I knew it deep down in my heart.
"We are different. They are the real men and the heroes who have dominated the sea of stars. Even Li Jialing, the little emperor that I hate most, once stood proudly on a starship and led the charge against an enemy ten times stronger than him. It was such a glorious moment.
"No … In fact, I didn't really hate Li Jialing at all, did I? I was only trying to flatter myself and drag myself to the same height as Li Jialing with the excuse of 'competing with Li Jialing'. For that reason, I even lied to myself and forced myself to compete with Li Jialing for Coloured Glaze.
"Cutting open the deepest part of my heart, did I really love Coloured Glaze? I don't think so. I've always regarded Coloured Glaze as my younger sister, but my competitiveness was only triggered by Li Jialing.
"There were other girls. The girls that I flirted with. Did I really love any of them, even for one second? I don't think so. I only wanted to prove with them that I had grown up and turned from a boy into a real man.
"Hehe. In fact, the more I tried to prove to the world that I was a real man, the more I became a real joke. Li Jialing probably never thought highly of me or regarded me as a real competitor, didn't he?
"It does make sense. It's not his fault. Even I despise myself like that. I feel that I'm a coward, a scumbag, and a joke. Except for the extra organ, I don't have a single toe on my body at all. I can't be called a real man …"
As Han Te rambled on, his face was already covered in tears.
At this moment, he happened to hear Black Jack's words outside.
"Miracles are things that can never happen."
His words made Han Te's pupils constrict violently like two supernovas that were about to break out.
Grabbing his pants, Han Te was silent for a long time like a shivering statue.
"Jade …"
He finally uttered a hoarse voice that was even more unpleasant than crying. "Can … Can you give me back the 'Witch's Gene'?"
Jade Cui asked, "What do you want?"
"I want strength."
Han Te grabbed his pants so hard that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. The excruciating pain made him no longer tremble or hesitate. With starry brilliance bursting out of his eyes, he declared resolutely, "I want to be … a real man!"
