Toothless lost his voice. “Mr. Cross, what kind of joke is this?”
Nathan asked, “Do you think I'm joking? You must have heard about how we, the Earth, defeated the Gods, haven't you? So why can't we topple the tyrant, Medille, the God King, even allowing the vampires, and all of you exiled cosmic races to survive in the materially rich Divine Realm and establish a new home for everyone?”
The space pirates, including Toothless, were all staring at Nathan in astonishment. It has always been the Gods who travel to other planets, committing genocide against other races. This is the first time we've heard of someone wanting to overthrow the God King Medille, intending to have all cosmic races settle in the Divine Realm. This statement is absolutely shocking and outrageous!
If it were anyone else daring to boast like that, Toothless would have scoffed and ordered his men to kill the braggart on the spot.
However, Toothless seemed a bit uncertain because the man before his eyes was Nathan.
After all, there was a precedent of Earth defeating the Gods.
Nathan noticed that Toothless and the others were somewhat skeptical.
He lifted his hand, pointing toward Eve on the distant aircraft, and said nonchalantly, “See that? That's Eve, one of the Gods, once the daughter of the Grand Admiral Gulliver of the Gods. When she accompanied the Gods' army in their invasion of Earth, she was captured. Now, having renounced their wicked ways, she willingly assisted in bringing down Medille, that warmonger, to establish a new cosmic order and restore peace to the universe.”
Grand Admiral Gulliver of the Gods! The space pirates, led by Toothless, were once again taken aback.
They didn't expect Gulliver's daughter to have surrendered to Nathan.
Nathan added, “There are many Gods like Eve that follow me. Also, look at those vampires. They used to live in the Divine Realm, but were simply expelled by the Gods. Now, they are willing to follow my will, to fight alongside me, pointing their swords where I point mine. Together, we will conquer the Divine Realm. Vampires, Gods, and earthlings all are willing to fight for me. Do you still think my words are empty, that my promises are lies? Do you still believe I can't let you reside in the Divine Realm, living a good life there?”
Toothless looked at Nathan in shock.
