Black Jack noticed Theresa's hesitation.
As if he had been deceived, he was even more infuriated and ashamed.
Countless tentacles once again wrapped around his body and soul like black flames, causing his face to become even more sinister.
"Look, I knew that you were lying to me. The real Theresa would never fall in love with the real Black Jack!"
He roared desperately.
Theresa shuddered hard, with goosebumps all over her body.
"Dear heavens, dear earth, even if I, Master Han Te, have to accept the test of destiny in order to become a real man, why is it such an outrageous test? I don't want it anymore. Wu wu wu wu … "
Theresa wanted to cry but had no tears.
Seeing that Black Jack's soul was about to be controlled by the devourer again, Theresa had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "That's — that's not true. If I really wanted to lie to you, I could've just said 'I like you'. But I can't say that, because — well, because I'm a very serious person when it comes to relationships. I have to examine my heart and figure out the relationship between us carefully!"
"Is — Is that so?"
Black Jack seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope in the dark abyss. His real soul crawled out of the entanglement of the devourer's tentacles again, before he asked hopefully, "Then, will you fall in love with the real me, a humble, poor, weak, low-level mercenary?"
Theresa was at a loss for words for a moment.
She was faced with the most dangerous battle of her life. If she said one wrong word, not only would she lose her life, the entire Emerald Continent, the entire Emerald Universe, and even the entire universe of Pangu might be faced with an unimaginable catastrophe.
At that moment, the classic picture where Grandpa Yao persuaded the enemy with his silver tongue popped up in Theresa's head again.
"I … am not a casual girl."
After considering for a long time, before Black Jack completely lost his patience, Theresa finally opened her mouth and said, one word after another, "I am very serious when it comes to relationships, and I will not change my mind until I die.
"If I say that I 'love' someone, it means that even all the water in the universe cannot extinguish my love.
"If I say 'I love you' so easily after spending only a few days with you, and I haven't even seen your real face, don't you think that it's too unserious and even blasphemous to the word 'love'?"
Black Jack was stunned.
Theresa seemed to be talking about a lot of things, but at the same time, she seemed to be talking about everything. He really didn't understand, but he felt that he still had hope. He stuttered, "Then, then what do you mean? Is it possible for you to fall in love with the real Blackjack?"
"Hateful!"
Teresa blushed. Biting her lips bashfully, she played with the clothes that were made of liquid metal and said, "I am a pure and innocent girl who has no experience with boys at all. It is already embarrassing enough for me to say that. Do you have to get to the bottom of it?"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Black Jack scratched his head hard. No matter how the tentacles on his back hissed and wriggled, he could not attack Theresa again.
"I can only say that I admire the upright and courageous men. I admire the heroes who dare to declare war on fate and the entire universe!"
Theresa looked at Black Jack, her eyes full of glittering expectation. "If you are such a man, I am willing to fight side by side with you and face all the evil temptations and threats. We can start as good friends, and maybe we can evolve into good brothers who will never leave each other!"
"Good friends? Good brothers?" Black Jack felt that it was weird.
Teresa's cheeks were burning. Biting her lips, she glared at Black Jack. "Take your time. Don't be so hasty. At least let me see your real face!"
"I …"
The question came back to that again. Lowering his head in self-abasement, Black Jack said, "The real me is very ugly."
"What are you afraid of being ugly? The most important thing for a man is to have inner qualities!"
Theresa encouraged him loudly. "In my hometown, there was a hero with the surname Li, also known as Mou Yao. He was also unattractive, slovenly, and somewhat wretched, but that did not stop him from conquering hundreds of planets … or even hundreds of towns. He even married the prettiest, uh, strongest girl in my hometown.
"Black Jack, Black Jack, let me tell you, there are many girls in the world who do not care about a man's appearance, but no girl will like a cowardly man. If you are still a man, and you still want me to respect you, break free from the control of the Devourer now and let me see the will and courage of the real Black Jack!"
"I … am not … a coward!"
Theresa's words were like red-hot steel rods, deeply piercing into Black Jack's soul.
He hugged his head, bent his waist, and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
All the tentacles on his back suddenly straightened, and a burning red power surged out of his body, drowning these tentacles like an uncontrollable flood.
The tentacles hissed, wriggled, and struggled, like earthworms exposed to the sun.
Then, many of the tentacles actually broke!
"Black Jack …"
Even Theresa herself did not expect the real Black Jack to be able to burst out with such a powerful will.
If it was said that the words just now were most likely a game of words and did not contain much true feelings, then it would be better to say that the words just now did not contain much true feelings.
Now, Theresa was deeply shaken by Black Jack's soul, and sincerely wanted to … uh … be brothers with him.
As Black Jack's soulfire spread endlessly, countless tentacles made popping sounds and broke one after another.
The harem members controlled by the Devourer — Dragon Lady Hera, the female mercenary group leader Natasha, and the others, finally broke free from their restraints.
They woke up from their nightmares, their faces pale, and stood up absent-mindedly, staring at Black Jack with complicated eyes.
Black Jack's face was ashen, and there were a lot of wrinkles, acne, and acne marks on his face. He was no longer as handsome as before, and even his temperament had become mediocre and wretched. His eyes were evasive, not daring to look at the girls who were deceived by him.
"Boom!"
The female mercenary group leader Natasha's temper was the most explosive. Ignoring her own weakness, she gritted her teeth and smashed a domineering sword aura toward Black Jack.
"No!"
Theresa hurriedly blocked it, and the liquid metal armor transformed into a silver light, helping Black Jack block Natasha's sword aura.
"Theresa, why are you doing this?"
Natasha was devastated. "He deceived us like this, and you're still helping him?"
"It's not Black Jack deceiving us, it's the Devourer. Now, Black Jack is engaged in the most intense battle with the Devourer. If we are not willing to give Black Jack a chance and attack him instead, his soul will be completely destroyed, and he will become the Devourer's puppet!"
Theresa growled. "Once the Devourer completely controls Black Jack and returns to his previous form, no one will be able to subdue this' Lord Devourer '!"
"This …"
Natasha and the harem members were somewhat hesitant.
"It's only now that I understand that the key to this battle is neither you nor me. If there is a hero at the end of this journey, it can only be Black Jack himself!"
Theresa turned around and looked at Black Jack with anticipation. She said firmly, "Only one person can reverse the situation, only one person can kill the Devourer, only one person can become the hero that saves the Emerald Continent. Black Jack, that person is you!"
"I …"
Black Jack did not expect Theresa to believe in him so much and protect him at such a critical moment.
His eyes began to burn, and hot tears flowed out like lava.
"Come, Black Jack, let's make a bet. I bet that you are a real man, a real hero!"
Theresa said as she threw away her weapon and released the liquid metal armor around her. She smiled and encouraged Black Jack. "I bet that you will definitely be able to defeat the Devourer and become the greatest hero in the hearts of all the girls here. If you fail, I am willing to accept my loss, and this life of mine will be buried with you!"
"What?"
All the girls present turned pale with fright.
No one had expected Theresa to be this crazy.
Black Jack's soul was shocked to the extreme. He couldn't believe his ears. With a hoarse throat, he said in a trembling voice, "Why, why are you willing to believe in such an unbearable me? You know, I was once …"
"Don't be silly. Who doesn't have a past?"
Theresa was still smiling casually, with the brilliance of victory glittering in her eyes. She said softly, one word after another, "However, when a man is willing to take back his destiny, the billions of stars in the universe will make way for him!"
