I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 828 440: After Enough Beatings, Even a Brain Will Grow

"Alright, after being beaten up so many times, one does grow after all," Gu Shanhai naturally heard Didor's last words.

The other party was indeed a bit brainless before, but after enduring the beatings, he grew and underwent an earth-shattering change, learning to be patient.

Even when intercepting a batch of supplies meant for the Resistance, the other side might have already noticed something amiss, as the Sun Tribe is much more secretive compared to the Moon Star Resistance in terms of information gathering.

Suddenly obtaining such a piece of hidden intelligence is definitely suspicious.

However, to survive, even if Didor knew, he still endured it and even abandoned the Sun Tribe as his scapegoat to save his life.

Until the very end, he burst out.

The reason for the outburst was not because he couldn't bear it any longer, but because he knew it was his last chance to turn the tables.

Only by obtaining the moon conceptual power from Elena, the new generation Moon Priest, and combining the two forces to become the supreme power, could he rival Gu Shanhai face to face. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know who was manipulating him.

"That's good news, but the change is quite fast," Gu Shanhai also smiled, not paying too much attention.

If there was no change, that would be the problem. Rapid change is also very normal. Even though Didor indulges in pleasure fearlessly every day, his actual pressure is immense, always fearing the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers might knock on his door.

Unlike Elena, Didor never thought from the start that he could escape the eyes of the Ascended Empire, so he naturally knew his life was always in someone else's hands.

Additionally, he knew the Sun Tribe was a burden to him, always thinking of getting rid of everyone in the Sun Tribe to rid himself of this burden for a better escape.

But due to not understanding what the Ascended Empire and Gu Shanhai wanted, he dared not act rashly.

When Elena approached him for an alliance before, he had already noticed some problems, like the other party seemed to need his Sun Tribe to restrain him. If he really took decisive action or fled, his end would be bumping into the Heart Demon Dao Soldiers as soon as he stepped out.

Therefore, when the Moon Star Resistance destroyed his Sun Tribe, he felt not a shred of anger but rather relieved, as now he truly had no shackles.

It was also for this reason that, at the last moment, he directly killed Elena.

"A new protagonist is born."

Gu Shanhai noticed the change in fortune and that those protagonist destinies scattered over the remaining surviving Moon Star Girl had now dissipated.

And Didor has now become a truly complete protagonist.

Next, he will likely proceed with the fusion of the sun and moon and embark on a whole new path.

A person possessing two types of conceptual power, especially if they can complement each other, makes Gu Shanhai curious about how it would compare to his own Dao Fruit.

Gu Shanhai's Dao Fruit isn't truly the power of two concepts; the conceptual power is more like nourishment rather than the essence, with the laws within the Dao Fruit being the real essence.

In reality, the two aren't the same existence.

Analogously, if you compare them, one belongs to a computer and the other to a tablet. They have connections, considering both are electronic products. However, to say they are unrelated isn't entirely accurate either.

"No wonder he needs to retrieve the moon conceptual power first, or else he really wouldn't be able to complete it."

"The means to merge two conceptual powers can't be completed in the short term by anyone other than a protagonist."

Gu Shanhai knew that if it were Emperor Navia, even if he wasn't the protagonist, he might be able to complete it, but with Didor, it's truly impossible. His development of the sun conceptual power is so poor it's hard to watch, with completely no foundation, so relying on technology won't do; he can only rely on luck.

Emperor Navia could slowly research and develop, taking an extremely long time to complete it, but Didor, as the Sun King, differs. He might simply shout, "Break for me," and succeed; whether it works isn't important.

For Didor, as long as he can shine and glow, that suffices.

Even if he did grow a brain due to enduring too many beatings, it's only been a short time since, and he can't conjure up the relevant knowledge out of thin air.

"He should be able to reach about one percent of my power, right?"

Gu Shanhai estimated Didor's situation. Even if Didor's power increases ten thousand times, he could barely reach one percent of Gu Shanhai's power. He wouldn't even need to reveal his true self to be an unmatched opponent for Didor.

"Hiss~ Seems like I should still be a bit cautious; achieving one percent of my power can be considered an instant leap."

It seems to just reach one percent of Gu Shanhai's power, but before this, Didor couldn't even handle a thousand Heart Demon Dao Soldiers, not even daring to engage actively. Upon catching sight, he would flee instead of confronting directly.

Of course, this is only Gu Shanhai's estimate, and the actual situation will certainly have variations, but no more than three percent at most.

The data Gu Shanhai has is relatively accurate.

"Next, it's to continue monitoring." Gu Shanhai certainly won't sit idly by; he still needs the data from Didor.

"And then, unload and discard after the grind."

Gu Shanhai contemplated for a moment, planning to start eliminating the Moon Star Girl and all life forms in this universe, altering their bodies into machine beings to aid their mechanical ascension, leaving the rest to experience life and death as his 'crop.'
