Chapter 3401 - Untitled

"Then, then—"

Han Te stammered for a long time, but he could not come up with any rebuttals. He knew that Princess Summer was right. Now that Black Jack had revealed his ugliest face, there was no way that he would allow anyone who saw it to live.

Besides, according to what he had just said, billions of lives would be sacrificed as sacrifices and fuel in order to rebuild the Swallowing Empire.

"But what can we do even if we stay?

Han Te could only reply drily, "I've analyzed everything. The odds that we can defeat Black Jack are less than 10%…"

"It's 1%. Less than 1%." Silver brightness was blinking inside the jade eyes. The latest analysis was based on the shape and aura of Black Jack.

"No way! There was still 10% just now!" Han Te shouted.

"Less than 1% is one of the 'less than 10%', or even 'less than 100%'."

"…"

Taking a deep breath, Han Te resisted the urge to lunge forward and strangle the artificial intelligence. He said to Princess Summer, "Look, our odds of winning are no higher than 1%. If we rush out, we will be committing suicide. It is meaningless except to be buried together with your sisters.

"Therefore, stop being emotional and wasting your time. Let's get out of here together!"

Han Te extended his hands to Princess Summer sincerely.

Princess Summer was silent for a long time when she heard Jade's latest analysis and saw that her sisters were as pale as skeletons under Black Jack's tentacles.

"I understand."

She took a long breath in relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off her shoulders, or as if she had made up her mind. She was much more relaxed than before. "Then let's go, Mr. Han Te. Thank you for everything you've done for me, for my sisters, and for the Jadeite Continent. You were right. This place is indeed too dangerous. It's a dead end to stay and fight. It's meaningless."

"Therefore, before Black Jack attacks this place, please leave now. Go to your world and ask for reinforcements. Come back and help us destroy Black Jack and save this beautiful world. Please!"

Han Te was overjoyed, but his smile froze as soon as it appeared. He looked at Princess Summer's eyes, which were getting more and more determined, and asked hesitatingly, "What—what do you mean, Sister Summer? You are asking me to leave… but you are not coming with me?"

"Call for reinforcements. One person is enough, isn't it?"

Princess Summer said calmly, "You will go with Jade. I will stay and help you resist Black Jack for a while. It's decided then."

Chi la—

While she was talking, she tore off a large piece of blood-stained cloth from her short skirt, tied up her messy hair, and tightened the cloth with her teeth.

Then, Princess Summer wiped off the blood on her broken saber and put it back to her waist. She faced Black Jack, who was still roaring and crashing outside, calmly.

Her temperament was like a calm dark cloud.

The most dangerous storm was brewing and condensing below the calmness.

Han Te had never seen such an intimidating aura from Princess Summer before.

He was dazed for a long time before he raised his voice and shouted, "Sister Summer, what are you talking about? We could've run away together. Why did you choose to stay and die?"

"Yes. You should've left, Mr. Hunter."

Princess Summer smiled and said, "This is not your world. The people outside are not your sisters, either. You are just a passer-by who was accidentally involved in the incident. Also, you can't bear a lot of unnecessary pain with your terrible identity. Now that you are free to go, you have no reason to stay here any longer.

"If everything you said is true, if you can really summon reinforcements from the Pangu Universe and rescue the Emerald Continent from the clutches of Black Jack, it will be a great kindness beyond description. Everybody in the Emerald Continent, including the Glorious Mortal World and the Blood Demon Sector, will be deeply grateful to you.

"Therefore, stop hesitating and dawdle. Let's go!"

"What about you?" Han asked anxiously.

"I'm different from you."

Princess Summer's eyes were glittering as she said, one word after another, "This is my world. This is the place where my ancestors fought on the battlefield and built the Eagle Kingdom. This is also the place where my father's blood flowed and his bones were buried. Every meal I've ever eaten, every bowl of water I've ever drunk, every mile I've ever walked, every smile I've ever seen, every cry I've ever heard, all come from this place.

"This place used to be my home. This place has all my memories and hopes. This place has the enemies that I deeply hate and have yet to behead. This place has my best sister, and right now, my best sister has fallen into the hands of a devil.

"Therefore, Mr. Hunter, you can go, but I can't. I have to stay and face everything. I have to rescue my sisters from the clutches of the devil king and kill my uncle, the scumbag who killed the king and usurped the throne. I have to rebuild the Eagle Kingdom, restore the glory of my father and my ancestors, and even wash away the disgrace left by my distant ancestors thousands of years ago, including First Officer Quake.

"It is my responsibility and my destiny, isn't it?

Han Te was dazed.

His mind went blank for a long time. He stammered, "You are joking. You can't do it!"

"Mr. Han, just a few days ago, you taught me a saber art that is known to be 'killing even a hurricane'. You said that the 'Thunderous Tornado Saber Art' is the most dominating, invincible saber art in the world. There are no fixed moves, only one secret, and that is, no matter how strong the enemy is, no matter if you can win or not, and no matter what will happen to you after the slash, just concentrate all your hot blood, will, and soul and slash at the toughest part of the enemy!

Princess Summer smiled, her slender hand holding the blood-stained hilt, unwilling to let go. "You taught me how to control my saber and my own fate. Now that I've got the saber, are you going to ask me to let go of it?

"When you were still Theresa, didn't you say that you thought I was a very talented warrior and even a queen with great potential? That I would return to the Eagle Kingdom one day and take back everything that belonged to me? Now that you've changed from 'Teresa' to 'Mr. Hunter', have those words gone with the wind?"

"Of course, of course not."

Han Te's face alternated between red and white. He said, "I'm not lying to you. You really do have potential. The problem is that your potential can only burst out when you are alive. Black Jack is too strong right now. You will die if you rush out like this!"

"Yes, I will die.

Princess Summer said, "But who wouldn't?"
