Chapter 649: Chapter 649: No One Wants to Be a Dog
"If you have no subjects, are you still a queen?" Lei Jie asked.
He thought his sister really had her head screwed on wrong, actually deluding herself into believing she was a queen.
A few drinks, and she turned out like this?
Just hit level 5 and already wants to be a queen?
Do those people really want to be dogs?
Maybe some of them honestly are suck-ups. But once they know there’s nothing at the end of it, will they still do it?
I mean, you’ve enjoyed your freedom, Ivica, but do they have any freedom?
Ivica’s face changed as she glanced at her ’subjects’ and then said, "They don’t dare betray me, they don’t."
"Really?" Lei Jie fully unleashed his aura.
The level 6 aura surged instantly.
Everyone froze on the spot.
This included Ivica.
In fact, Ivica not only froze but also involuntarily knelt down.
"If a level 6 Fierce Beast attacked your camp, how many of you could survive?"
"Honestly, not a single one. Because you don’t have the strength or opportunity to escape."
"Don’t try telling me that a level 6 Fierce Beast won’t break in here. Nothing is absolute, not even Xu Yi would dare say that."
"So, do you want to continue being my sister’s subjects, or defect to Xu Yi?"
After speaking, Lei Jie reined in his aura.
Initially, he had suppressed his aura to look after those with lesser strength.
"I want to defect to Xu Yi." Someone stepped forward, long sick of the life they were currently leading.
Previously, they were indeed obsessed with Ivica, thinking of her as a goddess, willing to do anything for her.
But through this period, they came to a deep realization that the Ivica they were infatuated with, the one they worshipped, was merely a façade, not her true self at all.
The current Ivica was foolish, selfish, arrogant, and moody.
It’s safe to say, with a few exceptions, those who followed her all regretted it.
Regrettably, Ivica and her loyal lackeys were too powerful, leaving no room for resistance, forcing them to endure in silence.
But now, with Xu Yi’s emergence and Lei Jie’s allegiance, the situation had shifted.
Lei Jie’s power was overwhelming; in that moment, they felt almost as if they were on the brink of death.
In that instant, they thought of their families, their hometowns, and their past lives.
So as soon as Lei Jie asked, they all snapped back to reality.
Why live as dogs when they could live as people?
Unless they had issues in the head, or were playing dog for some ulterior motive.
With the first, comes the second.
Then gradually, more than three hundred people all wanted to defect to Xu Yi.
Seeing this, Ivica was deeply shaken, her spirits were more or less broken.
"Didn’t you say you’d be loyal to your queen forever? Traitors should die!"
Someone charged out, ready to kill.
Unfortunately, after only a few steps, their head exploded.
Lei Jie acted, without a moment’s hesitation.
Thinking of killing at a time like this?
That person’s got a screw loose; better to just kill them off.
Brain matter splattered everywhere, some even landed on Ivica’s face.
Ivica couldn’t believe her most loyal subordinate died so easily.
Lei Jie hadn’t even lifted a finger and Roka’s head just exploded.
"Ah..." Ivica screamed.
Her spirit completely shattered, she began crying in front of everyone.
The others were also subdued by Lei Jie’s strength and means.
In comparison, how did Ivica and Roka’s power stack up?
If a real level 6 Fierce Beast appeared, not one of them would escape unscathed, right?
"Though you all want to defect to Xu Yi, he may not necessarily accept you. However, I can tell you, Earth’s sun will explode in 20 years, and if your families want to enter Spirit Blue Star early, you can only do so by joining our team."
Lei Jie ignored his sister and directly used telekinesis to silence her cries.
Lei Jie felt that he ought to take some responsibility for these people on behalf of his sister.
"Rest assured, I will petition Xu Yi. I will do my best to compensate for the harm Ivica caused you. I hope you can forgive her." With that, Lei Jie bowed to everyone.
A minute later, Lei Jie straightened up, then took Ivica and flew to the sky.
Sometime later, he appeared beside Xu Yi with Ivica.
"Xu Yi, I apologize, my sister has been too obstinate, causing harm to others. Those people wish to join us, will you agree?" Lei Jie felt there was no need to beat around the bush with Xu Yi; being direct would make Xu Yi more appreciative.
"As long as they genuinely want to defect, of course, I will accept them. We still lack manpower in building our foundations." Xu Yi offered his response.
"Uh, could I get a Star Chart for my sister? I think she needs to calm down and reflect for a bit." Lei Jie thought Ivica’s current state and mindset had serious issues.
Leaving her on her own to survive for a while would be more beneficial for her.
"Sure." Xu Yi held Lei Jie in high regard; his strength was also considerable.
If they wanted to bring so many humans to Spirit Blue Star, they needed people to constantly hunt Fierce Beasts to gather Brain Crystals.
Therefore, Xu Yi was planning to have Lei Jie and his group hunt Fierce Beasts to collect Brain Crystals.
He himself needed to train and continually enhance his power.
Not just him, but other Divine Masters too.
Even with control of Spirit Blue Star, humans weren’t yet safe.
The Jialan Civilization was like a sword hanging over humanity, ready to drop at any moment.
To have the ability to defend themselves, they needed to grow stronger, stronger even than the Jialan Civilization.
So, hunting Fierce Beasts to accumulate Brain Crystals was something Xu Yi assigned to the Mages.
These Mages also needed to lead the new arrivals on Spirit Blue Star on hunts for level 3 and above Fierce Beasts.
So, those originally pledging loyalty to Ivica still had a purpose.
Furthermore, Xu Yi was quite pleased with Lei Jie’s handling of the situation.
Thus, Xu Yi handed a Star Chart to Lei Jie.
Lei Jie and Li Kang’s previously extra Star Charts had all been handed over to Xu Yi.
After giving Lei Jie the Star Chart, Xu Yi returned to the Pangu ship.
Once back on the Pangu ship, Lei Jie equipped Ivica with a Star Chart.
"I’m sorry, but I can’t take you now. Take this time to calm down and think things through." Lei Jie said gently.
Ivica had stopped crying, though her gaze had grown somewhat bewildered.
"Lei Jie, aren’t you afraid I’ll die out there?"
Lei Jie patted his sister’s head, saying, "You’re a level 5 Mage now; unless you have a death wish going after level 5 or peak level 5 Fierce Beasts, generally, you won’t die. Of course, if you actually do die, I’ll avenge you."
"Lei Jie, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before." Ivica couldn’t believe her once doting brother had become like this.
"Haven’t you changed too?" Lei Jie said, using his telekinesis to give Ivica a strong push, sending her flying.
