I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 819 435: A Match Made in Heaven Ruined by Stupidity

"Oh, no, I'm sorry I said something wrong."

"You will never be the Sun Chief, your fate will only be as a head decorating the sun relics of the Intelligent Mechanism Empire."

Elena's words caused Dido to hesitate. He knew Elena was right; he genuinely had no power to resist the Ascension Empire.

He indeed possessed the power of the sun, but once he took action, the ever-present Evil Demon would appear. If not for his quick escape, he would have met his end there.

It was precisely due to the absence of his power that the Sun Dynasty was reduced to the Sun Tribe under the attacks of the Ascension Empire.

Without the Sun King to hold the line, and with the Ascension Empire's machinery introducing the Four Saints Beasts System for support, the battle quickly became one-sided.

"What do you want?" Dido felt that Elena had come to deliberately humiliate him.

Yet for the sake of his own life and the little honor he had left, he could only endure it.

"I told you, I'm here to seek cooperation." Elena spoke these words while actually contemplating whether it was worth it, because to her, Sun King Dido seemed too foolish, even to the extent of not being a qualified king, but more like a self-centered giant baby.

She was also familiar with some situations of the Sun Dynasty. If it weren't for Dido's powerful strength, he would have perished a long time ago, and in the most tragic manner.

If he could maintain his invincible power in front of the Ascension Empire, then indeed, there wouldn't be any problems. Unfortunately, he didn't, which led to his current predicament.

"Fine, as long as you become my slave, I will agree to cooperate! Otherwise, you will have to leave your head here today!"

Dido pondered for a moment, thinking cooperation was possible, but Elena, who wielded the power of the moon, must become his slave, otherwise, what if she betrayed him?

If she were unwilling, it would equate to betrayal, and he planned to eliminate her first.

Upon hearing these words, Elena sighed: "I knew it, I shouldn't have come to you, a primitive man without a brain."

Initially, due to the fact that the other party was a king, there might have been a turning point, but now it seemed that she had no way to communicate with a primitive man.

"Even the Ascension Empire understands equality, knowing that slavery is unacceptable."

"Hold on to your arrogance and ignorance and go die."

Elena acted first.

She had already seen that, if she didn't bow to Dido's wishes, he would kill without hesitation, utterly brutal, brainless, and arrogant.

Therefore, as long as she rejected him, he would surely make a move, so it was better to act first since the negotiation had already broken down. Cooperation was impossible, running away was the next best option.

"Wretch, I knew you had ill intentions." Dido hurriedly used the power of the sun to resist.

Battle naturally broke out instantly.

...

"This fool, I..." Gu Shanhai nearly couldn't catch his breath, as he was closely observing the situation between Elena and Dido.

Elena successfully grasped the primitive moon energy of the Moon Priest thanks to his activation through the bloodline with various researches within the Moon Star Girl, of course, leaving a string of backups within it.

Following normal logical development, Elena allying with Dido should have been smooth—it was only natural for two people oppressed by fate to join forces.

But the result turned out differently than he expected; he thought even if Dido was brainless, he would at least have some common sense. But no, the opposite was true. Dido would rather vent his frustrations than seize an opportunity, opening his mouth to demand someone become his slave.

This giant baby was beyond comprehension.

"Give those rebels some resources, let Elena properly teach Dido a lesson, preferably making him suffer ultimate humiliation." Gu Shanhai was so angry his lungs almost burst.

The fact that the Moon Star Rebel Army survived until today wasn't due to Elena's leadership as the Moon Priestess, but because Gu Shanhai orchestrated from behind, deliberately allowing it, to further delve into the legacy of the Moon Priest and various related aspects.

There were even intentional acts of providing materials to the opposing party.

And naturally, it was the same for the Sun Tribe; without it, a complete blockade would have been implemented. Given Dido's intelligence, he couldn't survive six months, leading his group for one month would have been a testament to his strength.

Since this guy didn't know his place, let him come to know it properly.

This fellow regarded himself as the Sun King, holding his dignity in high esteem, even valuing face over life... alright, not to that extent. If he truly valued face over life, he wouldn't have been beaten into fleeing with his tail between his legs, surviving to fight the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers.

It was all facade, albeit giving excessive weight to it.

"Phew..., make sure not to kill him." Gu Shanhai exhaled the breath that was stuck in his chest, instructing the Four Saints Beasts System to prevent the situation from escalating.

Should anyone be killed, it would undoubtedly be Elena. Despite Sun King Dido's myriad flaws, his powerful strength suppressed them all.

Unless Elena truly grasped the moon's concept and not just primitive moon energy, she stood no chance of victory.

Not everyone could ignore Dido's glowing and radiant abilities like the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers.

As long as Dido made his move, Elena would surely be at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, Elena wasn't foolish. After launching a surprise attack on Dido, she decisively fled, encountering him several times during her escape, always resulting in her being wounded.

Though the injuries weren't severe, they were merely minor wounds.

Ultimately, after pursuing for three minutes, Dido dared not continue, for he sensed the presence of the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers.

To advance further would likely draw detection, leading to a situation where fleeing successfully was impossible without losing one's life—it spelled death.

Thus, he could only resentfully watch Elena leave, returning to the Sun Tribe full of rage to continue his decadent existence.

Witnessing this scene, Gu Shanhai was also furious, as he had utilized many tools, never encountering one so ineffective.

"No way, I can't let you continue like this, others playing the hermit protagonist at least make progress, you are just failing entirely." Gu Shanhai's face darkened.

Dido was also one of the protagonists, yet his protagonist's aura was only halfway through, with the remaining half upon the collective Moon Star Girl, or directly on the Moon Priest.

Currently, Elena was the closest to the Moon Priest, having the most aura from the Moon Star Girl group.

"Just half a protagonist, today I'll let you enter a humbling arc."

As long as the counterpart adhered somewhat to Gu Shanhai's plan, he could tolerate it even with a slower progress. He wasn't like those who only granted a slim chance for their pawns to survive, instead offering post-plan absorption and retirement if they followed through.

On the premise that they don't utterly give up; yet this fellow not only gave up but deliberately sabotaged the plan. Even with his high tolerance, Gu Shanhai would ensure this one learned the meaning of having no control over their circumstances.

"Once the Moon Star Rebel Army's overall strength enhances further, instigate conflict between both sides."

"It would be best to devise a way to make the animosity between both sides irreversible."

"Before the fight, let the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers cripple Dido, ensuring he suffers terribly under Elena."

Gu Shanhai directly laid out a path for a humbling narrative, and the Four Saints Beasts System dutifully began planning according to Gu Shanhai's orders.

Following this, the plan was to have Dido, after being utterly humiliated and witnessing the annihilation of his tribe, flee from the Moon Star Rebel Army, thus spurring him to rise strong again.

There was even a possibility of total surrendering to his fate, but should he truly resign, Gu Shanhai had numerous methods to force him to strive.

Unless he took no heed of his own life, a measure of last resort must be reserved, indicating the other party's utter defiance, leaving no room for maneuver.

"I hope both of you will offer something satisfying, or else even if I wanted to let you off, I couldn't."
