Chapter 951 - - 627 Neglect

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Humiliation!

This was the ultimate humiliation!

Seething with rage, Hari felt branded like cattle, wondering what they were talking about when they said their future was bright. Duge’s actions clearly treated them as slaves…

Was he considered inferior just because he was a few minutes slower than the women?

Couldn’t he be given the benefit of the doubt?

Duge’s conduct was even more overbearing than the Divine King…

Hari looked at Duge, only to meet a pair of eyes that seemed to mock with a hint of indifference at the bottom, that was an extreme disregard for life, and his heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he realized that he wasn’t a like-minded comrade-in-arms as Duge had said, but a prisoner of war.

Duge asked, “Hari, do you have anything to say?”

It was a very ordinary question, but it instantly extinguished the rage in Hari’s heart, and a smile squeezed involuntarily at the corner of his mouth, “Great Divine King, it’s an honor to be marked by you. From now on, my name is Hari Fish…”

After saying that, shame flooded his inner world, and he awkwardly wanted to scratch the ground with his toes, but he had no toes now. He could only console his fragile heart with his grand undercover plan.

Still, humiliating tears welled up uncontrollably; he had given too much for the Thorne God-king.

“You’re crying?” Duge naturally saw the anger in Hari, being stamped and treated like an animal, anyone would be angry, but he didn’t care, a touch from him made one his property, barely different from a slave.

As long as his own life wasn’t put in danger, his possessions wouldn’t rebel…

“Great Divine King, these are tears of excitement,” Hari choked out, and at that moment, he flicked on a switch called flattery. Saying this and looking at Duge’s lifted eyebrows, his anxious heart suddenly relaxed.

Duge could be influenced by words, and he still had his own thoughts, which was a good thing—it meant he wasn’t controlled.

Having a mark stamped by Duge was also a good thing for him;, it was a sign of one of his own people. With that mark, he could easily win Duge’s trust.

Hari found new justification for himself, becoming even more at ease.

“Hari, you have a very high level of linguistic ability. I see potential in you. Do well following me, and your future will surely be bright.” Duge generously offered encouragement, then looked at the others, his fingertips sparking with lightning again.

“Divine King, my name is Pence Fish…”

“My name is Thomson Fish…”

People hastily reported their new names, their behavior looking childish, like kids playing house, totally unbefitting their status as commanders. But with Hari surrendering, what else could they do?

Face a noble death?

Nobody wanted a stamp on their forehead. Ordinary scars could be removed, but who would dare touch a scar planted by the Divine King?

Hari was an idiot…

…

Duge didn’t promote the fish names among the lower ranks; there were too many people, and he couldn’t be bothered, nor was it necessary.

His current strength only required handling key personnel.

Then, Duge helped Hari and the others attach their arms.

Feeling their restored bodies, their hearts were filled with mixed emotions.

Except for a few female commanders, the others’ mindset had quietly changed, unaware.

Birmingham had received orders from the Divine King and only after Duge had finished dealing did he step forward, saying cautiously, “Divine King, the King of Heavenly Gods has just sent an order, asking us to take the Origin of Mankind to Redwood Star for a personal reward. Shall we go?”

“How far is Redwood Star from us?” Duge asked.

“Ten space nodes. If there are no surprises along the way, it will take about three days to get there,” Birmingham said. He hesitated, then added hesitantly, “Divine King, along with the order from the King of Heavenly Gods, there were also private messages from several Valkyries, warning you that the King of Heavenly Gods intends to get rid of you and urging you not to follow his orders.”

Upon hearing this.

The expressions of Jannie and the other female commanders immediately grew tense. In particular, Jannie’s heart twisted, Duge kept saying he had her, but there were too many temptresses trying to seduce him!

Jannie looked towards Theresa and the others, thinking maybe she should find a way to marry off all the women around Duge.

Hari and the others sighed secretly; they had guessed such events would occur. The Valkyries around the Divine King had secretly sent warnings for him. This damn charm was too strong.

While relieved that Duge’s charm didn’t affect men, Hari couldn’t help but start to evaluate his own position, perhaps following Duge really was more promising than serving the Thorne God-king.

…

The effect of “Spring Heart is Sprouting” was indeed powerful. Skipping over the issue of private messages, Duge asked, “Birmingham, where is the main battlefield now?”

“The Tula Star System,” Birmingham said.

“Then let’s go to the Tula Star System,” Duge said. “We have too few people; we need to expand our military. We’re going to the most complicated battlefield, turn the combatants on both sides into our own people, and then, carve out a territory that belongs to us.”

Hari and the others exchanged glances.

Raite pressed his lips together and said, “Divine King, doing so would mean declaring war on two Divine Races at once.”

“Otherwise? Really hand over the Origin of Mankind to the King of Heavenly Gods?” Duge looked at him with a smile and twirled the Origin of Mankind in heinand s hand, teasingly asking, “This is your future hope. Are you willing to give it up?”
