Chapter 927 - - 617 Flee, soldiers_3

“…” Cheson was stunned.

“Look, even you don’t believe the Divine King,” Duge looked at Cheson and continued, “Cheson, don’t you really want to have all the superpowers one day?”

Cheson was shocked, swallowed hard, and forced himself to remain calm: “Don’t try to tempt me.”

“The Origin of Mankind is in my hands; I have ways to enhance your superpowers, and I lack someone by my side to lead the Universe. If we join forces, we might seize control over the entire Universe…”

Duge dangled his bait bit by bit, “The Universe is so vast, are you content with just being a general of the Divine Race? Even if you report the truth to the Thorne God-king, you can’t stop this war. It will only add fuel to the fire, perhaps even escalating the conflict…

No matter who wins in the end, you won’t gain any benefits.

If the Thorne God-king gets the Origin of Mankind, he won’t enhance your abilities because he fears you’ll destabilize his rule;

If the Divine King of the Heavenly Gods Clan gets the Origin of Mankind, he still won’t enhance your strength because you are his enemy. You might not even survive until the end of the war.

Only I need companions, talents to help me govern the Universe. We both have needs; cooperation is the only win-win. And all you need to do is a small act of betrayal; in return, you might gain a status comparable to a God-king and even greater powers…”

Gulp!

Raite swallowed hard; he looked at Duge, visibly tempted.

Cheson’s expression fluctuated. He had always been loyal to the Thorne God-king, but after Duge laid out the consequences, he suddenly became unsure about his future.

After all, what Duge said was too significant.

So significant that it could indeed cost him his life.

“Raite, I forgot to mention, you will also gain your life and the opportunity to board the War God Ship,” Duge turned away from the dazed Cheson and turned to Raite, smiling.

Bringing up the War God Ship again snapped Raite back to reality, and he asked, “What exactly have you done to me?”

“I haven’t done anything; it’s the work of the God of Love.” Duge pushed Jannie forward, introducing her with emphasis, “She is the Goddess of Love; she has linked you with the War God Ship, and unless there’s an accident, you will be infatuated with the War God Ship for life and might even end up marrying it…”

“Impossible!” Raite’s eyes went wide, his facial muscles twitching. He was a very calm person, but today, he had lost control several times.

“Why is it impossible?” Duge pointed to the War God Ship and said, “Why not take a few more looks at it, see if it makes your heart beat faster? Do you see an incomparable beauty in it? Like its exhaust pipes?”

“I won’t allow you to insult it…” Raite started to say but stopped abruptly, paling instantly as he turned to look at Jannie.

“Don’t mention it, it’s what I should do,” Jannie shrugged and smiled.

“Raite, to rid yourself of this cursed love, you can choose to follow me.” Duge smiled and said, “Otherwise, the story of General Raite and his deep, tortured love for a spaceship might spread across the entire Universe, because the reputation of the Goddess of Love will grow far and wide in the upcoming war.”

“Despicable,” Raite cursed angrily.

“General Raite, one cannot become a God-king without being despicable,” Duge shook his head and then looked at Cheson, saying, “Cheson, Raite is tempted, what about you?”

You’re talking nonsense, I’m not…

Raite opened his mouth to refute Duge, but in the end, his words choked back. He found he couldn’t refuse Duge, whether it was the War God Ship or the Origin of Mankind.

“I want to know, what’s the deal with Birmingham? Did he betray the Heavenly Gods Clan?” Cheson asked with fiery eyes.

“Yes, he has betrayed the Heavenly Gods Clan; he couldn’t resist the temptation of the Origin of Mankind,” Duge nodded affirmatively and continued to slander Birmingham, “But on the surface, he’s still the War God of the Heavenly Gods Clan because we need to use this war to seek more benefits, to find more allies, like you…”
