A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 2651: Chapter 1785: This Hero Wants a Team Battle (Spending More Time Lying in Bed)

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s words, Isis did not immediately respond. She glanced up and down at Duanmu Huai before speaking.

"I’m truly surprised. I never knew there could be such an existence... May I ask why you are doing this?"

"Of course, it is to let humans rule this world."

Duanmu Huai answered without hesitation.

"These countless worlds once belonged to humans, and they will belong to humans again. We will use blood, death, and destruction to obliterate those who try to stand in our way, whether they are aliens, heretics, or demons. No existence can stop humans from becoming the rulers of all, and fighting for humanity is the goal of the Tribunal."

".........???"

At this moment, Lisetta’s eyes were spinning, and she was utterly confused.

She knew Duanmu Huai said that the Tribunal’s goal was to protect humans, but she didn’t know the why of it. However, Lisetta received a startling answer from Duanmu Huai right now. He didn’t just want to protect humans simply. The Tribunal aimed to let humans rule everything and destroy all that blocked their path...

"Isn’t this basically the same as the Demon King?"

Thinking of this, Lisetta couldn’t help but blurt out, and Duanmu Huai glanced at her.

"Of course there is a difference, because the Demon King isn’t on the side of humans, but we are on the side of humans—and solely on their side."

"Lord Isis, I don’t think this is a good idea!"

Even though Duanmu Huai gave her a strong sense of oppression, Lisetta had to pluck up her courage and voice her opinion.

Isis glanced at Lisetta but didn’t immediately reply; she only looked back at Duanmu Huai.

"We need to consider it."

"I hope this won’t take too much time."

Duanmu Huai didn’t say much more. He nodded, then turned and left, leaving Isis and Lisetta in the room.

"Lord Isis, I really don’t think this is a good idea."

After Duanmu Huai left, Lisetta immediately mustered the courage again.

"I think this Hero is truly dangerous, and he’s different from the heroes we’ve encountered before..."

"Every hero is different, Lisetta."

Isis tried to comfort her, but Lisetta shook her head vigorously.

"Not like that, Lord Isis, not just in terms of character differences, though there are those too. But he is really ruthless and cruel. If anything gets in the way of his actions, he would even unhesitatingly target unrelated civilians. You don’t know, we encountered a danger in that world..."

Then, Lisetta explained the War Emperor’s matter to Isis.

"...Facing those soldiers, he even went as far as to kill them all! Clearly, I could use a Teleportation Portal to get him away, but he insisted on killing every last one of them! You didn’t see the scene at the time, but I did! I can’t accept such atrocities! Those soldiers were merely manipulated and deceived; they shouldn’t have been treated like this!"

"............"

Isis didn’t answer; she just remained silent. After a moment, she sighed.

"Indeed, as you said, Lisetta, this isn’t the actions of the hero we wish for."

"Then......."

"But I must ask you, did you eliminate the Demon King and save that world?"

"Of course we did, but......."

"Then, how did the speed of saving the world compare to previous times?"

"This......."

Faced with Isis’s question, Lisetta began to recall. In the Divine Realm, there is no concept of time, but even so, she knows that usually, this takes a long time—at least one or two years, and it may take four or five years or even longer. Previously, tasks Lisetta had taken typically took three to five years to complete...

This is normal; after all, they can only summon one Hero. Nurturing a hero, finding companions, adventuring together, raising levels and strengths, forming alliances, and then defeating the Demon King—each step requires time.

The more dangerous the world, the higher the difficulty, the longer the time, and sometimes even deities encounter danger.

But this time.......

Lisetta recalled.

A month? No, half a month? Seems less, ten days? Five days?

"Ending the Demon King sooner can prevent more people from suffering sooner."

Isis stared at Lisetta.

"We also hope to eliminate the Demon King quickly and protect humans. But you know, most of the Otherworldly People summoned here lack combat experience and awareness."

"............"

Lisetta didn’t speak. She remembered the War Emperor saying similar things: those heroes lived in gentle, peaceful worlds before arriving, and were not adept at dealing with pain and death and...

"I don’t understand, Lord Isis."

Lisetta spoke again.

"Why, why do we always have to let Otherworldly People save these worlds? Couldn’t we let people from those worlds save themselves?"

The War Emperor’s matter deeply shocked Lisetta. She pondered afterward and felt the system was indeed peculiar. Clearly, that world also had many warriors who sacrificed their lives to protect their world, but why must Outsiders do this?

Taking a step back, even if it must be transmigrators saving the world, couldn’t they make an exchange? Like summoning heroes from two disaster-stricken worlds to each other’s world, wouldn’t that solve the problem? Why choose those ordinary people from peaceful worlds? They haven’t even held a weapon before transmigrating, not even killed a chicken.

Lisetta had also seen a few heroes arrive full of spirit, but after killing a monster they felt very uncomfortable, as if unable to accept taking lives. It took quite a bit of time for her to help them cross this hurdle...

"Moreover, do you think we can refuse him?"

"Can’t we?"

"Of course, we can refuse, but.......did you notice something?"

"Hmm?"

"Generally speaking, after defeating the Demon King, the Hero would leave this world and return to their homeland, right."

"Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Lisetta finally reacted. Indeed, after all, the "rule" states this. After the Hero defeats the Demon King, they only stay in this world for a short period before leaving. However, Duanmu Huai is still here... wait.

"Why hasn’t he left?"

"Because he doesn’t want to leave."

This answer was worse than Lisetta had imagined.

For instance, why does Duanmu Huai "not want" to leave?

Considering everything Duanmu Huai had done before, if he "doesn’t want" to leave, it likely means something terrible is about to happen!

"But this is the Unified Divine Realm!"

"You should have seen his Ability Value, right."

"Yes, then..."

"It’s real."

"How could that be........."

The faint hope in Lisetta’s heart was completely crushed by Isis, causing her legs to weaken as she sat on the ground.

"Are you saying that no one in the Unified Divine Realm is a match for him?"

"That’s right. I’ve never seen such a powerful being."

"But isn’t he a mere mortal?"

"Perhaps he is, or perhaps he isn’t; that doesn’t matter."

Isis sighed wearily.

"What’s important is that we have no choice."

".........."

Lisetta trembled all over, feeling a bad premonition. She never thought that a simple mission to summon a Hero to save the world would end up like this. Even the highest-ranking Great Goddess of the Unified Divine Realm admitted she wasn’t a match for him. Just who is this man?

"In any case, I’ve made my decision."

Isis got up from the recliner and walked towards the door, leaving Lisetta to anxiously follow behind her.

When the two walked out of the house, Duanmu Huai was still standing there, his tall and distinct figure disappointing Lisetta—she originally thought Duanmu Huai just stayed longer than other Heroes and had now disappeared. But it seems he has no such intention.

"What is your decision?"

Seeing Isis come out, Duanmu Huai gazed at her and asked, while the latter remained silent for a moment.

"I admit, your proposal is very attractive, but I can’t just agree to it."

"What are the conditions?"

Duanmu Huai was quite calm about Isis’s response, which made Lisetta breathe a sigh of relief. She initially thought Duanmu Huai would immediately turn hostile and start killing upon hearing Isis’s answer.

"I hope you will save a world."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai frowned in dissatisfaction but said nothing, while Isis continued.

"The difficulty of saving this world once was only B-level, but........."

"But what?"

"The Hero and Goddess summoned to save that world were both killed by the Demon King there. Now that world has been entirely occupied by the Demon King and Orcs, raising the difficulty of salvation to an SS Class."

"How could this happen—————!"

Lisetta was shocked. She had been to several B-level worlds, but she never thought a Hero guided by a Goddess would die with the Goddess in that world, and the task would fail!

If it was an S-class difficulty world as before, then the Hero being killed would be understandable, but a B-level world......no, although danger level and class are not correlated, yet.........

"Are there any humans in that world?"

"I’m not sure about that. In any case, I hope I can see the Tribunal’s actions. If you can save this world, then I agree to collaborate with you."

Is it that simple? From Lisetta’s understanding of Duanmu Huai, this shouldn’t be difficult at all, right? He could easily find the Demon King Palace again and blow it to ashes like last time, couldn’t he?

"This time is different from before."

Isis apparently also thought of this point.

"The human civilization in that world is on the brink of collapse. Therefore, this time, your task is not just to defeat the Demon King but also to revive the human civilization in that world. Do you understand what I mean?"

This is indeed very difficult.

Even Lisetta secretly marveled in her heart. The previous Heroes only needed to consider defeating the Demon King.

But this time—not only need to defeat the Demon King but also help the human civilization in that world thrive again? Although Lisetta knew that merely defeating the Demon King might not ensure human survival, yet...can Duanmu Huai accomplish such a task?

After all, in Lisetta’s memory, when she was with Duanmu Huai, she only saw him kill this and that.........

Even when encountering humans, he would just kill, kill, kill.

"I understand."

Duanmu Huai nodded and snapped his fingers.

In the next moment, a Teleportation Portal opened behind him. Then, Isis and Lisetta watched in shock as several soldiers clad in Battle Armor and wielding weapons, just like Duanmu Huai, marched out briskly.

"Alright, now tell me, where is that place?"
