Nathan found himself surprisingly content with the outcome.
To his astonishment, Eve, a female God with an exceptional aura, didn't opt for her own demise. Instead, she chose to pledge her service to Nathan.
He cast a contemplative glance at Eve, suspecting that her motive might involve enduring humiliation to secure her future as a potential resistance figure.
Individuals who endure hardship to achieve their goals can pose hidden dangers when left unchecked.
Given the current circumstances where the tamed Gods were intended to assist in spaceship repairs, the potential ramifications of Eve harboring ulterior motives and tampering with the spaceship were truly worrisome.
With these concerns in mind, Nathan's demeanor toward Eve turned decidedly frigid. He raised his hand, singling out Eve, and declared in an icy tone, “While anyone else can opt to serve me, you are the sole exception.”
Eve's face instantly contorted when she heard Nathan's words.
Nathan had presented a stark choice: either surrender or face the death penalty. However, it was evident that he was prohibiting Eve from surrendering, intentionally placing her in a perilous predicament.
Anxiety surged within her as she inquired urgently, “Why is it that everyone else can surrender, but I can't?”
Nathan responded calmly, “You are more aware of the reason than I am.”
Eve's complexion paled considerably.
Nathan gestured, instructing, “Take her out.”
At that very moment, a soldier moved forward, poised to drag Eve out for execution.
As the specter of death loomed ever closer, Eve's panic became palpable, and in her desperation, she cried out, “You can't kill me...”
Nathan offered a light, mirthless chuckle. “And why can't I?”
In her haste, Eve had a sudden revelation. “Don't you want the Gods to work for you? I'm an all-rounder. I possess a wide array of skills! I am worth a hundred of them. Killing me would be a loss for you.”
