Chapter 353: The Leader of the Four Horsemen of the Void

~6 min read 1,190 words

"That was then," Ge Xiaolun said without even lifting his head. "People change."

"Take you, for example. We were both warriors of the Black Cleaver Company, but now you've defected to Morgana, using your own methods to protect Earth."

Ge Xiaolun's second sentence held no mockery; it was purely a statement of fact.

Yet to Du Qiangwei, these words were full of mockery.

He was blaming her for defecting to Morgana, blaming her for betraying the country, betraying the Black Cleaver Company, and betraying her own comrades.

She clearly hadn't betrayed anyone! She had simply chosen another path to save Earth!

"Ge Xiaolun! I did not betray anyone!" Du Qiangwei's tone was icy, and the look she gave Ge Xiaolun turned to disappointment.

Ge Xiaolun, who was smoking, sensed the change in Du Qiangwei's mood.

But before Ge Xiaolun could say anything, Du Qiangwei continued: "Ge Xiaolun, we are still too young; there are many things we don't understand!"

"You don't really think that relying solely on Ye Cang can protect the entire Earth, do you?"

"What I chose..."

The more Du Qiangwei spoke, the more irritable her tone became.

This made Ge Xiaolun unable to help but interrupt her.

"Qiangwei, calm down. Let's talk properly; there's no need for this."

"I think you might have misunderstood what I meant."

While speaking, Ge Xiaolun took out his cigarette case again.

"I didn't mean anything else. Don't overthink it, okay?"

But Du Qiangwei did not accept Ge Xiaolun's explanation.

In Du Qiangwei's view, Ge Xiaolun's words were just a cover-up, nothing more.

He just felt that she had betrayed everything.

"Enough, Ge Xiaolun!" Du Qiangwei suddenly shouted. "This is the best way I could find!"

"We cannot leave everything to Ye Cang!"

"Do you understand!"

Ge Xiaolun:???

He clearly hadn't said anything; how did she suddenly get so angry?

Why had Du Qiangwei become so neurotic after not seeing her for a while? It looked like she wasn't listening to a word he said at all.

Ge Xiaolun was speechless.

But facing the irritable Du Qiangwei, he decided to try and persuade her, hoping to get her to calm down.

It was she who said they should talk face-to-face.

And it ended up like this?

How could they talk with her in this state?

Talk for two sentences, then argue for an hour?

"Cough, Qiangwei, calm down first." Ge Xiaolun helplessly put the cigarette case back into his pocket.

"I didn't say I wanted to leave everything to Ye Cang, and I didn't say you were wrong."

"Really."

However, Ge Xiaolun's attempt to persuade her did not work; instead, it added a bit more to Du Qiangwei's irritability.

"You are being evasive, you are just being evasive with me!"

"Ge Xiaolun, you don't understand anything!"

"It's not just about fighting with your life! Do you know that! I have done everything I could!"

Seeing Qiangwei's state, Ge Xiaolun couldn't help but sigh.

In her current state, there was no point in talking.

If they kept talking, they might end up at each other's throats.

"Qiangwei, in your current state, we simply cannot continue this conversation." Ge Xiaolun looked at her earnestly.

"Calm down first. We'll continue when you've calmed down. I'll be around whenever."

"Let's leave it at that for today!"

After speaking, Ge Xiaolun gently patted Du Qiangwei on the shoulder, then spread his wings and left.

As soon as Ge Xiaolun left, Du Qiangwei slumped to the ground the next second, covering her mouth and sobbing uncontrollably.

She didn't understand why even Ge Xiaolun didn't understand her!

Was there really no one who could understand her?

It was fortunate that Ge Xiaolun had left at that moment.

If he hadn't left, his forehead would surely have been covered in question marks.

What understanding or not understanding? What did she even say? This was just an inexplicable argument!

After crying for a good while, Du Qiangwei finally returned to normal.

She glanced around, then opened a wormhole and left.

Meanwhile, Ge Xiaolun had arrived at Juxia City Park.

He sat by the park lake, gazing at the calm water, and covered his forehead.

Ah... what an inexplicable conversation.

But then again, why did he feel that Du Qiangwei was full of flaws when he saw her this time?

Before, seeing her was like seeing a goddess.

It was as if someone had fed him some kind of love potion in the past.

Although this conversation was a complete failure.

But Du Qiangwei still said one thing that gave Ge Xiaolun quite a bit of inspiration.

You cannot put all your eggs in one basket.

Just like Earth, it cannot all be left to Ye Cang.

Not to mention that besides Earth, there is also the Universe.

According to the description by Death God Karl, the Universe is about to die, and only Void Arrival can save all of this.

Once Void Arrival occurs, everything will be reshuffled.

When that time comes, does Ye Cang really have the ability to protect Earth?

If he has the ability, everything is easy to talk about.

But if he does not have the ability... then everything is finished.

Therefore, relying on him alone to protect Earth is not enough.

It is time for this Galaxy Power himself to exert some effort!

Then... let it be so!

After thinking these things through, Ge Xiaolun smiled with relief, then slapped his own chest hard.

The next second, the sound of something shattering rang out.

Crack!

After Ge Xiaolun dashingly threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the trash can, his entire person was enveloped by a purple energy.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Earth.

Yes, Ge Xiaolun had shattered the object that Karl had given him.

Ge Xiaolun only felt his vision go black, and then he appeared in an empty grand hall.

And at the end of the grand hall, there was a desk.

Karl was sitting there, holding a quill, not knowing what he was writing.

Seeing this, Ge Xiaolun put on his Dark Alloy armor and strode meteorically to the front of Karl.

"Karl, I have come." Ge Xiaolun looked at Karl with a calm expression.

"I have already made my choice."

Ge Xiaolun's words made Karl, who was writing, stop.

He took a deep look at Ge Xiaolun, then stood up and extended his hand toward Ge Xiaolun.

"Then, welcome to the fold, Galaxy Power."

"Thank you."

Ge Xiaolun lightly shook Karl's hand.

Immediately, the two separated.

Karl sat back down in his chair, picked up the quill, and continued writing.

"Galaxy Power, Sinuo will take you to rest first; once I finish writing this passage, I will come to find you."

"However, there are some things I must tell you in advance."

"We are not in a superior-subordinate relationship; we are in a partnership."

"Also, from this moment on, you are the head of my Void Four Knights, responsible for leading the other three knights."

"Mm, no problem." Ge Xiaolun agreed.

And Sinuo walked out from the corner at this time, coming before Ge Xiaolun.
