Black Jack's face showed a mixture of shame and confusion. Two rays of hope bloomed in the depths of his bloodshot eyes, like a drowning man in a swamp who finally saw a hand reaching out to him.
"You're crazy."
Emerald whispered in Theresa's ear, "According to my calculations …"
"Enough!"
Theresa didn't wait for him to finish and coldly interrupted, "In this world, there are two things that can never be calculated. The first is the number of stars in the vast universe, and the second is the pride of a man!
"Emerald, you're ready to escape, but I have to stay and fight side by side with this man!"
"Theresa …"
Princess Summer's tears glistened. She seemed to understand something and stopped her sisters from coming forward. She looked at Theresa expectantly.
Theresa turned back and grinned at her. Then she opened her arms and walked toward Black Jack, whose tentacles were waving wildly and had a struggling expression.
"Come on, no matter what the real you is like, I choose … to believe you," she looked at Black Jack and said very seriously.
Black Jack's expression was extremely conflicted.
His left hand was just reaching toward Theresa when it was knocked away by his right hand.
One of the tentacles opened its bloody mouth, only to be bitten by the bloody mouth of another tentacle.
His bones made cracking sounds, as if two diametrically opposed forces were colliding in his body, making him bear the pain of broken bones, broken meridians, and exploding flesh and blood.
Finally, Theresa walked in front of Black Jack.
"You, what are you doing? I can't control myself. Go away, I can't!" Black Jack screamed.
"No, you can. Don't say you can't if you're a man!" Theresa said.
"I, I really …"
Black Jack's eyes bulged, blue veins appeared, and his expression was extremely ferocious. He watched the dozens of tentacles entangling in front of him and forming a sharp bone blade together, but he couldn't stop it at all.
"Summer, what should we do?"
Faced with Blackjack's ferociousness and Theresa's craziness, the sisters in the harem were also at a loss. Everyone knew that Princess A Xia and Theresa must have had an adventure just now, so they all regarded Princess A Xia as their backbone.
"Now, we can only choose to believe them."
Princess Summer also wanted to throw herself at all costs to save Theresa, but she also knew that Theresa was right. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Trust Theresa and Black Jack. Save your strength and prepare for battle!"
Swoosh!
The blade flashed, and the bone blade, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, slid down from the air and pierced deeply into Theresa's chest. The bloody tip of the blade poked out of her back, and the blade was only half an inch away from her heart.
"Ah!"
The harem sisters exclaimed.
"This!"
Black Jack couldn't believe his eyes. He was so ashamed that he felt like he had made a huge mistake.
The smile on Theresa's face and the light in her eyes did not change at all. She continued to encourage him in the same tone, "It doesn't matter. There are always winners and losers in battles. If this is the final result, at least we've fought a great battle!"
"Theresa … Why are you … Ah … Ahhhhhhh!"
Black Jack's expression contained extreme shame and anger. It was as if ten thousand volcanoes had erupted on his face, erupting with indescribable violent energy.
"I told you to stop. I told you to f * cking stop. You damn octopus!"
With an inhuman voice, he roared into the depths of his soul, "I … am not … the Lord Devourer. I am … Jack Thunder!"
Swoosh!
The bloodstained bone blade was pulled out of Theresa's chest. Under the control of absolute power, it changed its direction inch by inch and pierced into Black Jack's own chest.
"Black Jack …"
Theresa covered her chest and stared at Black Jack with her sisters, dumbfounded.
Black Jack's expression was a mixture of pain and joy. With a roar, he chopped off the tentacles that controlled the bone blade with his hand and then pulled the bone blade out.
Puff!
Instantly, blood spurted out like arrows.
Strangely, the blood that spurted out had a faint golden glow. Once it came into contact with the air, it instantly turned into a bloody mist and floated in the air, not dissipating for a long time.
The spurting of blood continued for a long time, even exceeding the limits of the human body. In the end, what spurted out did not look like blood, but more like clouds of faint golden mist, ripples, or pure energy.
These energy ripples squeaked and danced, condensing into a strange-looking, translucent faint golden octopus in the air.
It was like a hermit crab that had just been driven out of its shell, or an earthworm that had been exposed to the scorching sun. It seemed to be terrified and confused.
It could not believe that a weak existence like "Jack Thunder" could break free from its control and even drive it out by force.
"This is the true face of the Devourer. Black Jack, you did it!" Theresa shouted.
At this moment, Black Jack had lost the support of the Devourer. His body was much thinner than before. He was shriveled and hunched, and his face had become very ordinary. His face was pale, and he staggered and fell backward.
Theresa ignored the pain in her chest and hurried forward to catch him.
"I …"
Black Jack's vision was almost completely occupied by Theresa's pecs. His personality was no longer as arrogant and overbearing as before. Instead, he became shy and did not know where to look. "Am I ugly?"
"Who said so?"
Theresa laughed. "How can I be as ugly as you say? You look, uh, much more handsome than the hero named Li in my hometown!"
"Is that so?"
Black Jack seemed to have ignited the fire of life again. He asked with anticipation, "Then, Miss Theresa, is it possible for a beautiful girl like you to fall in love with a mediocre person like me?"
"…"
Theresa took a deep breath and said, "Don't be silly, Black Jack. You are not mediocre at all. You have just completed an earth-shattering feat. You are a great hero in all of our hearts. Don't worry, it won't be long before your glorious deeds will spread throughout the entire Emerald Continent. By then, there will be many girls who are a hundred times more beautiful than me who will love you to death!"
This sentence made Black Jack's fire of life burn brighter and brighter.
He fell into Theresa's warm and soft embrace happily.
"You!"
The pure energy body of the Devourer that was expelled from Black Jack's body let out a shocking roar. "Do you think you can destroy me like this? You are too naive. I will —"
Before it could finish its words, it was hit by a fireball.
Boom!
The raging flames blew up one of its energy tentacles. The explosion caused it to become chaotic in the collision of ripples.
"Sisters, this pest has revealed its true form. It is our turn."
Dragon Lady Hera and the female mercenary group leader Natasha led the harem and all the witches. They stared at the Devourer with bright eyes. "Be careful, it is a pure energy body. Normal swords cannot hurt it. Use magic to deal with it!"
