“Huh?”

Princess Summer woke up from her trance and looked at Theresa in surprise.

But weird brilliance was beaming out of his silver eyes, as if he were calculating something quickly.

“Your blood is indeed weird. It does not seem to be a feature of the evolution of the residents of the Jadeite Continent.

Jade asked, “Where are you from exactly, the mysterious carrier of the Witch Gene?”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hide my background. I had to be prudent because of the important mission I was entrusted with. But it seems that there is no point in keeping it a secret anymore.

“It is true that I am not a resident of the Emerald Continent or the Blood Demon Sector. I am not even a descendant of the crew members of Jade. I am from a place named ‘Pangu Universe’. In other words, I am a descendant of another fleet in exile thousands of years ago.

“Fortunately, my world, the ‘Pangu Universe’, has more resources than the ‘Jade Universe’ that you are in. Our civilization is quite advanced, too. We have starships that are as large as planets and fleets that are as vast as the stars. We are not satisfied with exploring the universe we are in. When we received the signal from the Alliance of Central Resistance of the Star Ocean Imperium, we sent a lot of ‘messengers’ or ‘scouts’ such as myself to the boundless space zones nearby. Our purpose is to find the exiles’ fleet that drifted to various universes in the past and organize everyone to fight against the tide again.

“Since I am qualified to be such a messenger, naturally, I am not a nobody in the Pangu Universe. In fact, I have received the enlightenment of the supreme expert of the Pangu Universe, ‘Supreme Li Yao’, and experienced the decay, collapse, and rebirth of the Imperium of True Human Beings, the strongest nation in the Pangu Universe. I have manipulated destructive cannons and talked and laughed with super artificial intelligences such as yourself. I did not even think highly of the new emperor of the Imperium of True Human Beings. One day, I will stomp on him brutally.

“I’m telling you all this because I want you to believe that I know a lot of big shots in the Pangu Universe who can definitely protect you and gather a lot of resources to counterattack the Emerald Universe.

“Therefore, there’s no need to hesitate. Let’s retreat and rest in the Pangu Universe first. The experts of the Pangu Universe will analyze all the information that the jade carries and upgrade the starships of the Pangu Universe with the technology to manufacture and repair Jade. Then, we will march into the Jade Universe again with billions of soldiers. Even if Black Jack has three heads and six arms, he will certainly be blown to smithereens by our bombardment!”

The more Theresa spoke, the more excited she became. Her face was flushed, and she was dancing and spluttering.

Princess Summer was dazed. She could not believe her ears.

“Teresa, you, you…” She did not know what to say.

“Sister Summer, I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you the whole truth in the beginning.

Theresa stuck out her tongue. “But please understand. I had my reasons. I—I didn’t want it to end like this.”

There was no expression on Jade’s face. Her eyes were deep, and silver brilliance was spreading out of her body. She was deep in thought.

“Analyzing, the authenticity of the information is above 90%. It can be believed.

“By my judgement, it is most likely that the fleet will be rebuilt after we retreat to the Pangu Universe. It should be carried out.

“Alright. It’s decided then. We will leave this place in the escape capsule immediately.”

Jade made a prompt decision.

This time, it was Theresa’s turn to be stunned. She did not expect that Jade would be convinced so easily. She had thought that it would take a long time to convince him!

“Are you… not scared that the starship will be occupied by Black Jack after you leave Jade?”

Theresa was suspicious. “You don’t have to abide by any code of conduct, do you?”

“Only captains must abide by the noble rules. I am just the core control program of Jade. As long as I exist, Jade will not be destroyed. If the Pangu Universe that you mentioned has resources that are even more abundant than those of the Jade Universe, I can totally rebuild a hundred new Emeralds there. Or rather, I can be directly injected into your starships and upgrade them from the software level.

“Besides,” Jade said, “the situation has changed subtly during our conversation. Even though the Witch Gene has been fully awakened, our odds of winning have plummeted to less than 10%. Such odds are not enough for us to make a risky decision. So… let’s run away first!”

“What?”

Theresa was dumbfounded. “There was still 70% to 80% chance of winning a moment ago, and it has plummeted to less than 10% so quickly? Your formula for the comparison of strength between friend and foe is too absurd!”

“It’s not about the formulas. Black Jack has undergone a new mutation. Look.”

Jade took a step forward and adjusted the cabin wall to the transparent state again.

Theresa and Princess Summer immediately saw that a cluster of black shadows hit the cabin wall brutally like a cannonball. After an earsplitting explosion, ripples spread out. The holes on the liquid alloy were like ugly scars that could not be healed for a long time.

The black shadow collapsed like mud.

Theresa observed carefully and discovered that it was a man who was badly mutilated with broken bones.

It was—it was the Demon King of Hell, the dominator of the Blood Battle Demon Sector who had been insufferably arrogant when he first showed up.

Black Jack had picked up General Cooper with only one hand and tossed him to the wall of the cabin like a discus. He was not able to fight back at all until all the bones and internal organs inside his body were broken.

“How did this happen?”

Theresa was greatly surprised. “Wasn’t Grand Monarch Kuba engaged in a fierce battle with Black Jack in the beginning? Although he was weaker than Black Jack, he was not so weak as to be savaged by Black Jack as easily as an eagle catching a chicken!”

Then, he looked at Black Jack, who was even larger, more muscular, and more muscular than before. Every pore on his body seemed to be brimming with masculinity. Ignoring the tentacles that were dancing crazily around him, he was like a majestic god that had fallen from the sky!

Even through the wall of the liquid alloy, Theresa could feel Black Jack’s burning eyes.

However thick the cabin wall was, it was still like a thin matchbox. There was no sense of security at all.

“Just now, Queen Medusa appeared in the crimson palace. Before she figured out what was going on, she was tied up by Black Jack’s tentacles and sucked dry.

Jade said, “Black Jack seems to have weird abilities. He can increase his strength by absorbing the vitality of the opposite sex. After all, Queen Medusa is one of the seven Demon Lords of the Blood Demon Sector. Her vitality is hundreds of times higher than that of an ordinary witch. Black Jack evolved into a new form with her sacrifice!”
