A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 597 - Chapter 597 Chapter 439 O.Js Change_1

Chapter 597: Chapter 439 O.J’s Change_1 Chapter 597: Chapter 439 O.J’s Change_1 In the end, Duanmu Huai shook his head and rejected the invitation of the Carla Tribe.

The reason was simple. If he had been approached before he met Ling’nu, Duanmu Huai might have eagerly accepted. But after meeting Ling’nu, especially after she had personally taught him, Duanmu Huai understood that once something became a duty or obligation, it was no longer fun.

This applied even to the pleasures between men and women.

When Ling’nu was teaching him, Duanmu Huai hardly felt any sexual desire, and even feared that he might be impotent. Later, he thought that doctors probably looked at corpses with the same apathy, barring those with certain fetishes.

This was like those internet-addicted boys; looks like they’re having a great time playing games all day and day, but one week in an e-sports training center and they would develop an instinctual urge to vomit whenever theyplay again. Quite an effective cure for internet addiction.

The reason here was also simple. Playing a game on your own was primarily for fun, but it was different when it became a task. If they went to the wrong place, did something at the wrong time, messed up a play, they would get a piece of someone’s mind. And naturally, that wouldn’t be a happy experience. So after a while, a joyful stress relief activity would turn into a stressful burden, and thus would be abandoned.

The same could be said for Duanmu Huai. True, the Carla Tribe was full of beautiful girls, but he was not short of beauties himself. The joy between men and women was mainly a matter of mood and atmosphere. However, the Carla Tribe obviously regarded him as a reproduction stallion…err, no, a breeding pig. So naturally, Duanmu Huai was not happy with that.

What’s next? Are they going to set a pregnancy rate target for him?

The emperors of olden times who preferred one concubine amongst thousands were probably of a similar mindset.

Leaving descendants was a duty, and it wasn’t on the same level as being with someone you actually liked.

Another reason was… after all, the Carla Tribe was an alien race.

Duanmu Huai held no ill-will toward the Carla Tribe, but he had no great affection for them either. He helped them this time because of a fortunate coincidence and because he was at odds with Herman.

If it had been Seth or Lisas, Duanmu Huai probably wouldn’t have jumped into action right away. He’d have inquired about the situation and if their response was acceptable, he’d have simply stayed out of it. After all, Seth and Lisas were human kingdoms. So when dealing with Leia, Duanmu Huai wasn’t too concerned. However, the Carla Tribe was an alien race. As a Judge, Duanmu Huai had to consider this.

After all, he wasn’t as brazen as the Thirteenth Brother.

Of course, the last and the least important reason was this.

If he had accepted, wouldn’t that mean he was acknowledging the Carla Tribe’s assessment of his looks?

No way! He believed there was still room for improvement in his looks!

No matter what, humans must not abandon hope!

Duanmu Huai believed that he was only a tiny step away from being handsome.

One day, he would prove that with his own strength!

Egis was rather taken aback when Duanmu Huai rejected her invitation. It was, after all, an opportunity that rarely came around. But his refusal was resolute and she had do nothing but accept it. Hence, they only stayed in the Carla Tribe for one night and then resumed their journey toward O.J.

“To be honest, I thought you would stay in the Carla Tribe for a few more days.”

While sitting on the side seat of the Electromagnetic Rhinoceros, Zhi Jingxiang couldn’t help but tease Duanmu Huai. She had noticed many of the girls from the Carla Tribe were intrigued by Duanmu Huai at the banquet the previous night, but his appearance had scared them away. Whenever she thought of this, she found it quite amusing.

“Staying wouldn’t make much difference. The sooner we get to O.J, and hopefully find the Little Demon King, the better…”

Duanmu Huai simply shook his head. Yet, at that moment, a figure silently descended.

“Look! Ling’nu is back!”

“So soon?”

Seeing Ling’nu suddenly appear by his side, Duanmu Huai was slightly surprised. He had sent her out to scout out O.J and didn’t expect her to return so quickly.

“Did you find anything useful?”

“Yup, I got some news about the Demon King.”

“Oh? Really?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai immediately perked up.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. But…it seems a bit different from the Little Demon King you told me about.”

“What do you mean???”

Though somewhat puzzled, Duanmu Huai patiently listened to Ling’nu’s report. The situation was not complicated.

In short, O.J was currently experiencing a period of division among warlords. Each of the lords held their own territories, and engaged in continuous warfare. However, a strange incident occurred recently; Oda Nobunaga, one of the warlords from Oda’s House, rose to power. He led a powerful army to sweep away the surrounding forces, and was currently on his way to unify O.J.

Of course, if it was just that, it would only imply that his strength was formidable. However, according to the information Ling’nu gathered, this Oda Nobunaga was unusually brutal. His army consisted of not only humans but also the Demon Beast Army. He also claimed to be the Sixth Heavenly Demon King. Furthermore, according to soldiers who had escaped from the battlefield, this Sixth Heavenly Demon King appeared to be invincible; no matter what they did, they couldn’t harm him.

Unable to cause any harm… yes, this did seem like the invincible barrier that Demons or Demon Kings possessed.

But Saizer explicitly said that the Little Demon King was a beautiful girl, didn’t he?

According to Ling’nu, this Oda Nobunaga should be a middle-aged man, right?

What was going on?

“Anyway, our plan has changed.”

Duanmu Huai made a decisive decision. Before, he chose to infiltrate O.J because the task of searching for the Demon King should have been carried out secretly. But now, since the other party had already started an open operation, Duanmu Huai didn’t need to bother with any undercover searching operations. It could even save him some hunting time, as long as he captured the person and clarified the situation.

So, Duanmu Huai decisively summoned the Sky City again, then led the group directly to O.J.

“I told you, we could have used this from the start…”

Of course, Zhi Jingxiang couldn’t help but comment. As a magician, her fascination with Sky City was akin to Maria’s fascination with machinery, both were captivated and entranced at first sight. However, Duanmu Huai didn’t mind this trivial matter. It wasn’t necessary before, but now, with the rapidly changing plan, they naturally needed to modify according to the situation itself.

The speed of Sky City was naturally much faster than that of the Electromagnetic Rhinoceros. In less than half an hour, the continental borders and the vast sea appeared before everyone’s eyes. Simultaneously, the sight of the islands of the continent on the other side and a long bridge stretching from the islands connecting the continent came into view.

“That’s Tenmabashi meow.”

At this moment, Ling’Nu was playing the part of a tour guide amongst the group — since Kaname wasn’t willing to return to O.J, the one who knew the area best was naturally Ling’Nu.

“Once we cross Tenmabashi, we will reach O.J.”

“What’s over on that side?”

Duanmu Huai lifted his head, looking towards the other side of the island. At the moment, that area was shrouded in dark clouds, and dense smoke was rising from the ground, almost covering half of the island of O.J. After hearing Duanmu Huai’s question, Ling’Nu raised her head, looked at the area for a moment, and then answered.

“Hmm… That should be the territories of the Asakura and Uesugi families. Has the Sixth Heavenly Demon King already launched an attack so quickly?”

“Let’s find out.”

Hearing Ling’Nu’s response, Duanmu Huai did not hesitate and quickly maneuvered Sky City to speed up towards the smoky O.J island.

It did not take much time for Sky City to reach the location of the dark smog. Looking down, they indeed saw a dense crowd battling each other, consisting of both human armies and demon beast legions. Although they didn’t exactly resemble the demon army Duanmu Huai saw in Seth, it was clear that those were not human armies.

“What do you make of this?”

Zhi Jingxiang looked at Duanmu Huai and asked. He, however, furrowed his brow.

“It’s either a demon or the Demon King, surely one of them.”

“What do we do now?”

“What do you mean, ‘what now’?”

Having heard Zhi Jingxiang’s words, Duanmu Huai chuckled, then reached out to grab his Steel Warhammer.

“First, we’re going down there to knock some sense into them, and then we’ll figure out the next step!”

As his words fell, Duanmu Huai leapt off from the Sky City, falling straight to the ground like a parachutist sans parachute.

“Wow, he really just jumped down like that?”

Seeing this, Majeko was completely stunned.

“What do we do now?”

“What else can we do but stay here and watch the show?”

Zhi Jingxiang sighed helplessly.

“I think I know what he’s planning.”

While she spoke, Duanmu Huai had already fallen from the sky. With his warhammer in his firm grasp, he crossed thousands of meters of airspace and plummeted straight to the ground!

Then, he heavily landed in the middle of the battlefield!

“Boom!!!”

Having fallen from the sky, Duanmu Huai instantly drew the attention of both warring sides. Whether it was the demon beast army or the humans, they all turned their heads in surprise towards the spot where Duanmu Huai landed. Subsequently, they saw a tall figure emerge, carrying a massive warhammer, he strode out with a cold and ferocious smile, staring at the demon beast army ahead of him.

“I don’t know where you all came from, but since I’m here, you can go back to wherever the hell you came from!”

While speaking, Duanmu Huai raised his hand.

“Perfect, let me test the power of this card!”

At this battlefield, full of corpses, it was an ideal testing ground for Duanmu Huai.

Triggering the Soul Card —-[Profane Sphere]!

The next moment, following Duanmu Huai’s movement, a pitch-black, spiral-like tower emerged from the ground behind him! Then, blood-red, blood-like runes emerged from the tower, and the corpses on the battlefield began to twitch. They stood back up, raised their hands, and stretched their arms from their backs, transforming into sharp blades.

Then, Duanmu Huai, carrying his warhammer, snapped his fingers.

“Go.”

“————–!!!”

Following Duanmu Huai’s order, hordes of corpse variants roared and charged towards the demon army of Oda’s House!
