Emerald looked at Han Te's hand.
A silver-white ripple appeared in the corner of its eyes. It was as if even as an artificial intelligence, it felt pain for Han Te.
"Please allow me to remind you …"
Emerald said, "Just injecting the 'Witch Gene' into your body is not enough to get power. It must be completely activated and show the dominant characteristics of the gene. Only then can you release the inheritance of hundreds of generations of Emerald Battleship's captains. But if you do this, you will maintain the state of 'Theresa' for a long time. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I … am sure."
Han Te was so distressed that he almost cried. The blue veins on the back of his hand gradually calmed down. From a strong grasp, it turned into an affectionate caress.
He moved his hands up and down, heartbroken.
"Do you know the consequences of doing this, or have you decided to turn into a … real man with the appearance of 'Theresa'?"
Emerald tilted her head and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't decipher the logic. She could only thoughtfully say, "Humans are really a very interesting carbon-based intelligent creature. Many times, I can't tell whether you guys are really intelligent, or just a bunch of monkeys that are just blindly bumping into each other."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Han Te's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse, "Give me the 'Witch Gene' and fully activate it before I regret it!"
"No problem, but you have to understand that even if you activate the Witch Gene, you can't digest and absorb all the captain's inheritance in an instant. The probability of defeating Black Jack in a short time is still very small. Let me calculate, it has fallen below 0.5%."
Emerald reminded him patiently, "Are you sure you want to take this gamble that has no chance of winning?"
"If the fate of human beings can be defined by cold data, what is the meaning of our existence?"
Han Te gritted his teeth. Every muscle in his body trembled with anger and shame, "I don't care about the winning rate. I only know that I should do this!"
"Then, what about my mission?"
Emerald said, "My mission is to rebuild Emerald Battleship and the entire fleet. I can't watch you embark on a risk that has no chance of winning and cause our entire fleet to be wiped out."
"We won't be completely wiped out. We can make a deal."
Han Te looked at Emerald, the veins on his forehead bulging. "As long as you activate the Witch Gene, I will tell you the coordinates of the Pangu universe.
"I think, since you're so smart, as long as you have the coordinates, even without me, you can still drive the escape pod to the Pangu universe, right?
"You can set the escape pod to be ready to launch at any time, and wait for Blackjack and I to fight it out. If I lose, you-"
"If it's a showdown …"
Emerald interjected, "From the moment you injected the witch gene, you had already lost, right?"
"…"
Han Te took a deep breath and once again resisted the urge to strangle the artificial intelligence to death. "Then you can run away. Go to the Pangu universe alone to find my friends and tell them everything about me. Uh, wait, don't tell them about me turning into Theresa. Just tell them that I fought to the death as Han Te, and they will definitely avenge me.
"Let me think about it. You can go to A Boxing Champion first. He is an artificial intelligence like you, and he is a very loyal, honest, reliable, and trustworthy artificial intelligence. He will definitely help you!"
"When you think that an artificial intelligence is' loyal, honest, and trustworthy ', you have already been deceived," Emerald whispered.
"What did you say?" Han Te was in a state of high tension and excitement, so he did not hear clearly.
"Nothing."
Emerald thought for a moment, "I can accept your proposal."
"Then let's do it."
Han Te gritted his teeth, his face twisted, and cold sweat gathered on his forehead like a waterfall. "Hurry up and give me a quick death!"
"Okay …"
Emerald muttered, "However, are you sure you don't need two more minutes? According to my precise calculation, Princess Xia and the others can still hold on for a few more minutes. I can give you two to three minutes to let you … say a quick farewell. You must know that you may not be able to see her for a very, very, very long time. "
Han Te hesitated for a moment.
But Princess A Xia's heroic appearance of fighting to the end urged him on like a silent bugle horn.
"Forget it."
Han Te closed his eyes and endured the pain. "I usually take at least half an hour. Two or three minutes won't help at all. It will also wear away the determination that I have gathered with great difficulty. Stop talking nonsense. Come on, before she is still confused and doesn't realize what is going on. Let's do it!"
"Okay." Emerald sighed softly and turned into a silver-white flower again, enveloping Han Te.
The muscles at the corner of Han Te's eyes were trembling nonstop. Hot hero's tears were flowing on his face. He tried his best to control his body and nailed it to the ground like a warrior who was holding his ground, not backing off at all.
"From the federation to the Imperium, countless martyrs shed their blood for the bright future of the civilization of mankind without fear even when their bodies and souls are shattered. I have only sacrificed something that is no bigger than a caecum. What does it matter?"
Han Te hypnotized himself and condensed a clear, indestructible belief. "The most important thing for a man is to be generous and not be as calculative as an old woman. If I can't even give up such a trivial thing, how can I call myself a man?
"Besides, the nature of this matter is fundamentally different from the deranged maniacs in the ancient training notes who waved their sabers in order to practice the tyrannical arts. After all, their family line would be cut off after they waved their sabers. But I'm different. I can still have my own offspring!
"It's just that after I return to the Pangu universe, it will be hard for me to explain it to Coloured Glaze. Coloured Glaze is a naïve and devoted girl. She must've loved me in secret a long time ago but never had the courage to confess her love to me because of our sibling bond, right? If I really turn into 'Theresa' forever, I — I can only cut her off with my sword of wisdom. I hope that she will not be sad for too long and that she can find a good home sooner.
"Enough. Stop thinking nonsense. A real man should be decisive. Come on. I am the man who is going to be the Star Cannon King. No matter how arduous the challenge is, how painful the torment is, or how bleak the fate is, nothing can stop me from embarking on my own path.
Han Te roared hysterically.
Then, he was enveloped by the silver flowers tightly and turned into an enormous cocoon again.
Very soon, ripples were spreading out on the surface of the cocoon, and even bubbles were popping up. Scorching steam spurted out when every bubble exploded.
The ferocious beast that seemed to be contained in the cocoon and whose strength had been expanded a hundred times was about to break out of the cage.
"Is … is this strength?"
In the depths of the silvery white cocoon that was about to explode, a clear and melodious but extremely shrill female voice rang out. "Blackjack, you'll never know what kind of terrible price I've paid in order to obtain this power …."
"Wait. Wahhhhh. It hurts. Why is the demon in my body still haunting me? It's still so sore and painful.
"Ahhhhhh! Annoying! Annoying! Annoying! Black Jack! I don't care! I don't care! I don't care! This is all your fault! Your fault! Your fault! Today! I'm going to kill you! "
