Chapter 2613: Absolutely Filial Like Thunder
At this moment, Noah and the others' hearts were cold. What Jiangnan had thrown out could already be considered a shocking royal flush!
With the terminal in hand, he already had the capital to confront the power of the ceiling. The Netherworld Race turned into a knife held in Jiangnan's grasp, giving Bose and Silicon a point of fear overall!
Nowadays, humanity had gathered all the conditions to compete in the starry sky!
In the future, there was bound to be a chaotic scene of three races vying for hegemony!
And faced with such a situation, the Dark Cosmos Entity and the others could do nothing!
They coveted the terminal but couldn't get it, and this sword of the Netherworld Race was also out of their grasp. Not a single current situation could be changed!
Now, above the sea of stars, there were only three ships worthy of being called giant vessels!
The Bose Race, as overlords of the starry sky for over two billion years, had only brought oppression. The existence of that old monster was a sharp blade hanging over the heads of all races!
Cooperating with them was impossible. They would only be increasingly crushed, losing all voice! The Bose Race was too strong!
As for the Silicon Race, their absolutely rational way of thinking made cooperation even more impossible, because today they could stand up for an ally for profit, and tomorrow they could unhesitatingly betray that ally for profit!
Profit was absolute priority. The humans who had been sold off cleanly before were the example!
Their only choice left was humanity!
Jiangnan's intention was clear: no matter what the future held, first kill the old king, then it would be possible to establish a new king!
If Noah and the others didn't board humanity's giant vessel, when the waves of the sea of stars surged in the future and the three sides fought for supremacy, these lone boats could only resign themselves to fate and drift with the waves!
After the storm passed, only broken boats would remain, or they would be directly smashed to death by the giant waves!
As for humanity? Even without the joining of these allies, they could still sail across the sea of stars and still do what needed to be done!
Because they had the dimensional gap at their backs, this retreat that would never fail!
It was just that the journey would be a bit more difficult!
If they boarded humanity's giant vessel, at least their safety would be guaranteed. They could even enjoy the dividends of the terminal, find a place to settle amidst the chaos, and have the qualification to survive!
The only unstable factor was how benevolent Jiangnan would be!
Noah took a deep breath: "Can we trust you?"
Jiangnan smiled: "This question, you already asked when I first entered the starry sky. And I've already answered you with practical actions!"
Noah was stunned, recalling the thousand-star catastrophe of back then!
Jiangnan had indeed not let down his expectations, and during the Cosmos Grand Hunt, he had repaid the favor of the Dark Cosmos Entity. No matter how wildly Jiangnan acted, he had never placed the Dark Cosmos Entity on the opposing side!
It was all because of a helping hand back then!
Thinking of this, Noah felt a bit emotional. That little rookie who back then in the hall wasn't even worth a second glance from him had now grown to this extent?
"It's a pity that my Dark Cosmos Entity failed to gain the qualification to be the leader in this round of competition!"
"One last question: can you guarantee that humanity won't become the next Bose Race?"
"Will the dragon-slaying youth turn into a new evil dragon, suppressing the entire era?"
At this moment, Jiangnan fell silent. Meanwhile, Manti and Bannimei also looked at Jiangnan, wanting to hear what he would say!
Jiangnan smiled faintly: "Sorry! I can't make any guarantees. Regarding this era, I cannot give a correct answer right now, nor is there any answer that is absolutely correct!"
"But the only thing I know is that if the dragon really is slain one day and humanity reaches the summit, I will definitely bring change to this era—good change!"
"It's precisely because we're dissatisfied that we raise our swords to slay the dragon, isn't it?"
Anyone could say pretty words, but on this matter, Jiangnan didn't want to paint empty promises!
Noah smiled: "Change, huh? Alright, I understand..."
Then he wrote a paragraph on his hand, and the other Star Devourers also made their choices!
The Black God once again hid the existence of the terminal!
Jiangnan's eyes were full of excitement:
(˵ಡꇴಡ)و "So now it's time for the big slap session, right? Hurry, hurry~ everyone line up. I'll be very gentle with you!"
At this moment, the resentment value experienced another wave of crazy refreshes!
Noah and the others' faces darkened!
This is insane, risking their lives to come to the dimensional gap for a meeting, and now they still have to get slapped in the face!
And the problem was that they were doing it willingly!
True: rushing to offer their faces for someone to slap!
Even though they were unwilling a hundred times, they still lined up. What else could they do? This was the Black God's turf!
Would being unwilling help?
Noah was the first. Even the Night family sisters waiting in line behind began to tense up!
Jiangnan was full of excitement:
ᕙ(`▿´)ᕗ "I'll slap five times! Everyone be prepared!"
Noah's eyes suddenly widened:
∑(°口°◕) "Huh? Why five? When did you say that? You just want to get a few more slaps in!"
Jiangnan spread his little hands:
ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "One slap forgets one minute. It just took about four or five minutes, so it's five!"
"I've been urging you guys to hurry up. But Manti and Bannimei insisted on making me talk more, so I had no choice but to reluctantly comply!"
"Oh~ I didn't expect you to be so willing to sacrifice for your race, for your peace of mind!"
"Little brother admires you! Truly admires you!"
At this moment, Noah's face turned green. He glared fiercely at Manti and Bannimei!
(⚆益⚆◕)
You two idiots!
They also darkened their faces: Damn! Why didn't you say so earlier? If we'd known, we wouldn't have asked!
Noah steeled his heart:
(︶益︶〃) "Just hit me already. I'll forget anyway!"
Jiangnan's eyes were full of excitement. He was about to make a move!
But Noah suddenly raised his hand:
(︶口︶〃)ﾉ "Wait! Hold on!"
"What is it now? Don't you know girls don't like guys who dawdle?"
Noah gritted his teeth:
(￢﹏￢٥) "After all... I'm a Star Devourer body. Getting slapped by someone who hasn't even reached Star Devourer is hard to accept mentally, and it would damage my dignity. So..."
The Black God's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his hand, shouting:
٩☻ "I'll do it!"
"Enduring five strikes from the Black God in the dimensional gap without dying—that alone is enough for you to brag about for a lifetime outside, right?"
"How about it? Let me do it! If I hit you, you'll have more face!"
Noah was stunned: =͟͟͞͞(꒪△꒪◕) "Is that okay?"
Jiangnan said teasingly:
(˵ಡ‿ಡ˵) "Are you sure? Letting the Black God hit you might save your face, but it won't save your life!"
"My big pot's got a heavy hand. One slap, and can your tiny body handle it? I'm a scrub, just the strongest below Star Devourer, but I'm still a million miles away from Star Devourer. A slap from me doesn't hurt!"
"Think it over!"
Noah swallowed, shuddering. He almost believed the Black God's nonsense!
If the Black God gave him one slap, wouldn't his head be gone?
"Then I'll..."
But the Black God rushed up and yanked Jiangnan aside!
"I'll do it! I hit you—you'll have face!"
"You go over there! I'm doing it! I proposed it!"
The two immediately started fighting right there, grabbing each other's philtrums, sticking fingers up noses, and tripping each other!
Noah was dumbfounded: I said one thing, and two men are fighting over me?
Yang Jian and Freya both facepalmed, almost unable to watch anymore. Fighting over who gets to slap someone's face—that's really something!
After some deliberation, Noah finally made up his mind:
(︶益︶〃)☛ "Decided! Let Jiangnan do it! The two of you stop fighting!"
The Black God huffed:
(●`~´●) "Pfft! Ungrateful! Hmph~ Just one, is that too much to ask? Just one slap!"
Jiangnan laughed heartily: "No way! They're all mine!"
Then he rushed over to Noah in a flurry: "Six now, get ready!"
Noah's eyes bulged:
Σ(＠ロ＠◕) "How did it become six? It was just five! Why the price hike? You..."
Jiangnan looked innocent:
(′◔‸◔`) "Because another minute just passed. If you want, ask a few more questions, and we'll make it a round number?"
Bannimei and Manti behind him were anxious:
(ง´థ益థ)ง "Just hit him! Hit him already!"
If they waited any longer, those behind them would get more slaps!
Noah said hurriedly: "Just do it! Now!"
"Coming right up!"
Jiangnan grinned, spat on his palm, and rubbed his hands together!
But Noah's eyes widened:
(ଵ益ଵ|||) "Hey! Wait..."
But before he could finish his words, Jiangnan's warp-speed big slap had already landed!
Noah was cursing in his heart: If you're going to hit, hit! Why spit to increase friction?!
But after six big slaps, Noah had already forgotten the whole thing!
The Black God directly threw him back into the meeting room!
Jiangnan was so satisfied~
Then came the Night family sisters!
Night Iris and Night Jinse had now merged into the Night Monarch form, looking pitiful:
(ʃƪớ～ờ) "We... we're one person, so can we just get six slaps?"
Jiangnan said matter-of-factly:
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Of course!"
"Thanks..."
"Smack smack!" ×6!
Then Jiangnan gave them twelve!
Hmph? Trying to cheat? No way!
After these two were finished, they were also sent off for isolation. Then it was Manti's turn!
Just as Jiangnan was about to strike, Olivia quickly raised her hand!
(ﾟ⌂ﾟ)ﾂ "S... South God! I have a suggestion!"
Manti: !!!
Don't interrupt! Now it'll become seven!
Flickering like this was terrifying!
Jiangnan was taken aback: (๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "What's your suggestion?"
Olivia said excitedly:
(งᵒ̌◡ᵒ̌)ง "South God! Can I hit Lady Manti? I think I'm qualified for this job!"
Manti: ???
(๑ʘ̅口ʘ̅๑) "Huh? Are you crazy? You dare hit me? Are you..."
But Olivia was unconvinced:
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "So what? I want to! You tried to possess me before, and you didn't even apologize!"
"I'll hit you once to vent my anger. Anyway, you'll forget afterward, so I'm not afraid! After I hit you, this matter will be considered over!"
"South God! Let me do it! I'll be your warning girl for life!"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up:
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)☛ "Good one! As expected of my warning girl! Absolutely filial like thunder!"
"Lady Manti? What do you say?"
Manti's face darkened: So this girl actually had this knot in her heart all along?
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ)̄ "Tch~ Let her hit me to vent. I'll forget it afterward anyway! No loss!"
Olivia was ecstatic, quickly taking the Passionate Little Gloves!
At this moment, Wenge was also excited. This was so thrilling?
(′◔▽◔`) "Olivia? Can... can you spare one for me to try?"
Manti: ???
(´థ益థ)σ "Wenge! Are you freaking crazy? I haven't done anything to you?"
Wenge shrank his neck, speaking weakly:
(‧̣̥̇′◔﹏◔`) "I... I usually get scolded by you anyway. Since it'll all be forgotten, I just... want to try the feel!"
Manti nearly ground her teeth to powder: This really was turning the world upside down!
Olivia was generous and immediately gave Wenge the right to one slap!
Then Olivia stepped up and slapped Manti five times; Wenge also slapped her once!
Their faces were red with excitement. After these two were done, they willingly let Jiangnan slap them and were sent back!
The Black God scratched his head:
୧☻ "I have a question. After you slap Olivia and Wenge, they'll forget that they slapped Manti. So doesn't that mean it never happened?"
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥) "Uh..."
"At... at least they got their satisfaction at the moment!"
Then it was Bannimei's turn. At this moment, Bannilu and Walter were both bowing their heads, obviously having been educated beforehand to avoid turning the world upside down!
O(｡≥益≤)O "Come on! Hit!"
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "Uh... it's already gone up to seven~"
Bannimei: ~%?…;#*’☆℃$…
[From Bannimei's resentment value +1008!]
