Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 3417
Chapter 3417: Untitled
For a moment, the entire ‘crimson palace’, or rather, the bridge of Jade, was shaken by Theresa’s fury and resonated with her surging soul.
The glass-like walls of the cabin reflected the brilliance from the depths of Theresa’s soul. Billions of rainbow-like beams of light congregated on the giant cannon on Theresa’s waist and darted at the Devourer like a destructive torrent.
The Devourer was shot right in the head by Theresa.
It was drowned and swallowed by Theresa’s intense emotions.
Even though the time-traveling monster fed on the emotions of the intelligent creatures, a hundred times of food was enough to make it explode.
“It’s… It’s impossible… How can you have such intense emotions… How can a human being have such emotions… Ah… Ahhhhhh!”
Like an octopus that had fallen into magma, the Devourer waved its tentacles crazily and screamed miserably, struggling in vain.
“Don’t you love the taste of human emotions? Aren’t you best at playing with the noble souls of human beings?
Theresa compressed her self into the giant cannon and released it to her heart’s content. “Then, I’ll show you the true feelings and will of human beings. Go to hell!”
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Starting from the giant cannon on Theresa’s waist, waves of colorful tides spread out and drowned the entire bridge.
Not only were all the members of the harem, even Black Jack, who was on the verge of death, as well as all the devilized people and sorceresses present, could not help but be moved by Theresa and burst out the strongest emotions and determination together with her.
It didn’t matter whether they were good or bad. It didn’t matter whether they were male or female. The so-called ‘human beings’ and ‘demons’ didn’t matter. The true meaning of the two words ‘human beings’ was that they would never be manipulated, they would never submit, and they would never tolerate any existence, even if billions of stars, deities, and devils, or some illusive destiny, decided their future!
During the continuous launch, because of everyone’s encouragement, countless components were attracted by Theresa and added to the cannon by the silver threads.
The cannon continued upgrading, becoming thicker, larger, and more magnificent.
It was as if the main gun of Jade had grown out of Theresa’s waist.
It was a real cannon.
Theresa was the real king of cannons in the sea of stars.
Such powerful and persistent attacks finally overwhelmed the Devourer.
The monsters in the form of pure energy were melting and shrinking like ice cubes tossed into hot water.
For the first time, it released emotions of fear and desperation. It even shrank into a worm and kowtowed to Theresa, begging for mercy.
“No! No! You don’t understand the significance of my transmigration!”
It screamed in panic, “You know nothing about the cycle of time. You know nothing about the relationship between the past, the present, and the future. You know nothing about the relationship between the Observer and the multiverse! Without our efforts, everything that you are proud of will be gone. You cannot kill me. You—”
It seemed to be trying to tell Theresa a great secret.
But there was a certain law that stifled its voice.
In her fury, Theresa was too lazy to listen to the nonsense of the devouring beast. Instead, she vented and released herself, making the devouring beast vanish into thin air after a series of screams.
An unknown amount of time passed.
The burning cockpit was finally peaceful again.
Theresa was breathing heavily on one of her knees.
The cannon was dismantled into tiny components and absorbed by the liquid metal armor, before it was assembled into a new form and placed on her back.
It was like a silver armor with two folded wings on it, which added to her charisma.
The last ripple of the Devourer also dissipated in the eternal void.
Everything was over.
After experiencing the entire soul-stirring and inconceivable process, everyone stood silently like statues, unable to return to their senses for a long time.
But Theresa was the first to run to Black Jack.
“Black Jack…”
Holding Black Jack in her arms, she couldn’t help but shed hot tears on his bloody body.
“You—cough cough—you made it.”
Black Jack struggled to open his eyes. He looked at Theresa with a smile and said feebly, “You destroyed the Devourer?”
“No. Not me. You.”
Theresa said solemnly, “If you hadn’t stepped forward, sacrificed yourself to stall the enemy, and given me the opportunity to condense the cannon, it would have been impossible for us to destroy the Devourer.
“Therefore, I did not lie to you just now. You are the key to the battle. You are the greatest hero!
“What a hero…”
Black Jack smiled in relief and mumbled, “I—I never meant to be a hero. However, no matter how many mistakes I made, I was still a real man at the last moment, wasn’t I?”
“Of course.”
Theresa said solemnly, “You are a 100% well-deserved, authentic, real man!”
“That’s… good…”
Black Jack’s voice was blocked by the blood.
It was not just his throat. All the holes on his body were spurting blood, which could not be blocked at all. All the healing techniques and blessing techniques were useless.
He was dying. After a moment of brightness, his soul fire was gradually extinguished. It was an irreversible law of nature.
The only thing that Theresa could do was cry. “Black Jack, where—where is your hometown? Who is in your family? Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I swear that I will send your heroic deeds back to your hometown and tell your family. Whatever your wish is, I will fulfill it for you no matter what!”
“Really, really, can I have any wish?” The last bit of brightness suddenly beamed out of Black Jack’s dim eyes.
“Of course.”
“You sacrificed yourself, saved everyone, and saved my life,” Theresa said resolutely. “That alone is enough for me to fulfill any of your wishes!”
“That—that’s great. Then I—”
Black Jack was suddenly refreshed. He craned his neck from the abyss of death and looked at Theresa in expectation. He asked nervously, “Then, can you… kiss me?”
“…No,” Theresa said.
“Hey, didn’t you say that I can have any wish, even if it is not my lips? Can you kiss my forehead?”
“…No,” Theresa said.
“Is that not good enough? Then just say ‘I like you’. You can lie to me if you want. I don’t mean any harm. I just—I’ve never tasted the feeling of being liked by a girl without the help of a devouring beast. I know that I’m going to die. Just do me a favor and lie to me, will you?”
“…Not good. It’s my principle. It’s not your fault, but I have my reasons that I can’t tell you. I’m sorry. Why don’t you stop stirring up such a touching atmosphere and just, uh, take a good rest?”
“…Oh.”
Black Jack was somewhat disappointed.
“Forget it. Let me do it.”
A voice came from behind Theresa.
It was Princess Summer.
Her body was shining like an angel. She took Black Jack from Theresa and sat on the ground, holding him in her arms.
“I don’t want to lie to you and say that I like you. In fact, all our sisters hate your deception.
Princess Summer gazed into Black Jack’s eyes. “However, we also know that you had no choice. Also, at the last moment, your performance was indeed very… manly.
“Jack Thunder, seriously, if you were like this from the beginning and we had enough time to get along, I might have fallen in love with you accidentally.
After that, Princess Summer closed her eyes and kissed Black Jack’s forehead solemnly.
Black Jack was shivering, with tears mixed with blood flowing out of his eyes.
The sisters of the Harem all crowded close and looked at Black Jack with complicated feelings.
Princess Summer raised her head and looked at her sisters. She immediately understood what her sisters were thinking. She raised her arms and handed over Black Jack.
Hela stepped forward and took Black Jack from Princess Summer’s arms carefully.
“You were the most shameless coward, but you became the bravest hero at the last moment. Your will is as strong as the most magnificent dragon.
Hera said in a low voice, “On behalf of myself, I forgive you for what you did to me.
She bent down and kissed Black Jack’s forehead, too.
Then, it was Natasha’s turn.
“You bastard. You fooled me so badly.”
She hugged Black Jack somewhat barbarically and bit his ear. “Wait for me in the flames of hell. One day, I will find you there and ask for back everything you owe me!”
She kissed Black Jack’s forehead, too.
Then, the sisters of the harem group stepped forward one by one. It didn’t matter whether they had forgiven Black Jack or not, nor did it matter whether their faces were calm or they were gritting their teeth when they spoke. In short, they all kissed Black Jack.
When the last sister’s red lips left Black Jack’s forehead, the tears and smiles of the humble, tall, cowardly, wretched, and selfless man had already frozen.
He was dead.
He did not know when he died in the happiest way.
Theresa stayed at the periphery and watched everything in silence with mixed feelings.
Princess Summer was standing next to her in a trance, too. When she found that Black Jack had left quietly, she couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Are you serious?”
Theresa could not help but ask sourly, “Do you really have such deep feelings for him?”
“I don’t know.”
Princess Summer said, “We knew that Black Jack was controlled by the Devourer, but we had so many unforgettable nights after all. I think I will never forget him.”
“You can never forget him?”
Theresa felt that a pot of old vinegar had been poured into her nose and lungs. She was about to cry. “Then what am I? Have you forgotten me?”
“Don’t be silly. How could I? Of course, I will never forget you!”
Princess Summer smiled. She held Theresa’s arm affectionately and said, “You are my best friend!”
“Sister…”
Theresa was somewhat, no, very disappointed.
At this moment, she discovered that all the devils nearby, no matter which tribe they belonged to, were on one of their knees worshipping her and shouting weird words.
“What are they doing?” Theresa was shocked.
“The Blood Demon Sector is a place where the strong prey on the weak and where the strong reign supreme. Right now, the seven tribes of the Blood Demon Sector have suffered heavy losses in the civil war. Grand Lord Kuba, who is known to be the strongest expert, has been blown up by the Swallowing Beast and fallen into a hopeless situation where there was no leader. Yet, you miraculously turned the situation around at the edge of the abyss of desperation and killed the Swallowing Beast with a single shot. You also received the legacy of the Crimson Queen from ten thousand years ago.
Hela stepped forward and said, “It sounds like they all think that you are the reincarnation of the Crimson Queen and that they are going to worship you as the new master of the Blood Demon Sector!”
“What?”
Theresa was dumbfounded. She did not expect that she would run into such a situation by accident.
“But…”
Theresa listened carefully and asked in confusion, “What are they shouting? I don’t understand. It’s weird.”
“According to the tradition of the demon world, before the empress ascended to the throne, she was known as ‘Saintess’. Your previous attack left a deep impression on them. Therefore, they gave you a unique and honorable title.
“From this moment on, in the eyes of billions of demons, you are the supreme, invincible, and the ‘Holy Lady of the Giant Cannon’, who represents the peak of the combat ability of the entire Blood Demon Sector!”
