Chapter 135 The Abandoned Netherworld Legion
That's insane!
So crazy!
Upon hearing the conditions proposed by Zhang Zhao, Lu Fa could not believe that these were the conditions for negotiation.
Where is the sincerity?
Even if I were captured and taken back by King Peel, this would probably be the only treatment I would receive.
According to the serious crimes he has committed.
Death was a relief for him.
As for that scoundrel King Peel, he probably lived in constant fear until he was caught.
His ultimate fate would be to remain in the weightless prison where time is imperceptible.
"Although I don't know what your mindset was when you made these conditions, I can tell you that this kind of joke is not funny."
Lu Fa maintained his composure.
They didn't let Zhang Zhao's outrageous conditions cause a complete breakdown in relations.
He is currently the weaker party; he doesn't actually have the ability to break off relations.
But if the armor on the other side cannot provide suitable conditions.
He will also maintain his last shred of dignity as the former Chief of the Ares Armor.
"Do you have a choice? Can you offer some of your own bargaining chips?"
Zhang Zhao's voice drifted over slowly.
Yo?
Quite polite.
He wanted to hear what conditions Lufa could offer.
"After I acquire the entire Milky Way, I promise you will be the second-in-command of the entire galaxy! All that's missing is this one energy crystal!"
Lufa's voice was seductive.
"Is that yours to make promises? You don't deserve them!"
These conditions won't work either.
Zhang Zhao smiled.
Lu Fa's rhetoric seems to have no essential difference from his claims that he is Qin Shi Huang, that he is fifty years younger than him, and that he will rise again.
Lu Fa, a veteran PUA master.
Also, isn't it a bit too humorous of you to discuss the ownership of Earth's energy crystals in front of Yatalis?
If I agree.
Will I get electrocuted?
"Then there seems to be no point in us continuing this discussion. I will never agree to your humiliating conditions!"
Lufa's voice was resolute.
It's as if they could gladly face death any second from now.
It was as if he, Lufa, was some kind of righteous person who was being blackmailed by evil forces.
There's a feeling that Zhang Zhao is a complete villain, while Lu Fa is a good citizen.
Lufa looked so pitiful.
"Justice and evil are not defined by strength or weakness. The weak are not necessarily in need of help, and true justice is not bound by rules and regulations. No matter what you do, the mistakes you have made will not disappear!"
Zhang Zhao said this.
But Lufa remained unmoved.
No response was taken.
Zhang Zhao remained silent.
Then I'd like to make you behave yourself.
Zhang Zhao's eyes sharpened, and golden lightning condensed in his hand once more.
Without further hesitation, he unleashed his lightning power directly towards the black-robed figure where Lu Fa was.
Golden lightning struck the black robe instantly, and powerful electric current surged across its surface.
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Lufa let out a painful growl from his black robe.
The power of thunder raged across the black robe, like countless tiny electric snakes frantically gnawing at Lufa's consciousness.
Lufa tried to resist this powerful force, but he was too weak to withstand the thunderous might of Yatalis.
Inside the Demon-Suppressing Tower, golden light and black mist intertwined, emitting a hissing sound.
Lufa struggled in agony under the electric shocks, his black robes trembling from the shocks.
As time went on, Lufa's resistance grew weaker and weaker, and his breathing became increasingly erratic.
He's a bit stubborn.
"I can't tell you anything..."
Lufa still wanted to resist.
But his trembling voice said it all.
Zhang Zhao's electrotherapy mainly targeted Lu Fa's energy body. The man in black robes was unharmed, but Lu Fa was in immense pain.
Zhang Zhao would have no pity for Lu Fa. After all, his hands were stained with countless lives, and many people on the planets he destroyed were wiped out by Lu Fa's cannon fire.
If Zhang Zhao were an ordinary person on Earth.
If Lufa successfully seizes the Earth's energy crystal.
Would he be thinking of celebrating?
Then he waved his hand.
The plasma cannons of the Afars destroyed the entire Earth, turning it into fireworks.
He was still unaware of what had happened.
Does Lufa view humanity the same way the Trisolarans view Earthlings—just insects? Who knows?
"Can you agree to my terms now?"
Zhang Zhao's voice came through.
As Lufa listened to that calm and gentle voice, he was powerless to resist, growing weaker and weaker under the power of thunder.
If you give it your all the moment he walks in.
There might be a glimmer of hope.
If I were as mindless as Emperor Yan, would things change?
Under the continued torment, Lufa softened slightly.
"The Asura Armor and the energy crystals I obtained are absolutely not to be handed over!"
Faced with the choice between loving his brothers or the gold, Lufa made his decision.
Lufa's voice was very weak.
He has been seriously considering it.
With the Asura Armor and the Energy Crystal, he only needs one more Energy Crystal to turn the tide... But if he loses the Energy Crystal, it will be no different from being dead.
"As long as I know the location of the Asura Armor and the energy crystals I obtained, you will have no chance of finding them if I die!"
The black robe was wrinkled and crumpled.
Clearly, Lufa has reached his limit at this moment.
Soon.
He felt that this was the only remaining fragment of his genetic code.
They all already have the potential to decompose at any time.
"Oh?"
After listening to what Lufa had to say.
Zhang Zhao stopped his electrotherapy.
"So, you agree to give me the Netherworld Legion?"
Zhang Zhao smiled jokingly.
That's decisive enough.
Is this the Lufa?
"Weren't those guys with you since you were conquering the galaxy, and they stayed by your side even when you were down on your luck? I heard that when you were conquering Flame Star, your men fought to the death so that you could finally take down this tough nut to crack."
In that battle, you were the only one left...
"You're willing to give up such a loyal subordinate?"
Zhang Zhao's voice was like a demonic chant.
It resounded once again around Lufa.
There was no time to think about why Zhang Zhao knew so much about it.
Lufa felt that he had been wronged like never before today.
Even if he was falsely accused by King Peel of plotting a rebellion and then defected, that's all there is to it.
What's going on with this guy?
Murder, but also torture?
"General..."
"General..."
Upon hearing Zhang Zhao's words, those familiar voices echoed in his mind. He remembered every single member of the Netherworld Legion—their battle records, appearance, strength, personality, and methods.
To win their loyalty, he naturally had to treat them with the same empathy.
He poured so much into the Netherworld Legion.
This is how this legion came to be, roaming the galaxy and renowned for its ferocity.
To say that there is absolutely no emotion.
That's fake.
But when he thought about everything that had happened, he had to make a firm decision: to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, to make a tough choice. He had to make a decision, otherwise this guy would never let him off easily.
He has always been the core of the Netherworld Legion.
As long as he is there, the Netherworld Legion will still exist and can start all over again!
He had already vaguely figured out Zhang Zhao's purpose in coming this time.
He came specifically for his Netherworld Legion!
The Asura Armor has strict usage conditions, which this guy must know given his knowledge. Moreover, the armor he wears is no less formidable than the Asura Armor.
I just don't know if there are any strict restrictions.
But the Asura Armor is, after all, a priceless treasure.
But he might not be in such a hurry.
On another note, although I don't want to admit it, Zhang Zhao's righteous spirit is undeniable, even though he can be quite ruthless in dealing with me.
But all Lufa could do was conclude that this guy was righteous...
Then he wouldn't be so eager for energy crystals.
So, among the conditions he proposed...
The Netherworld Legion was undoubtedly his primary target.
After learning about this.
He offered this condition voluntarily.
It was for...
Live!
Live!
Then there will be hope.
He could clearly sense that Zhang Zhao genuinely wanted to kill him immediately.
As for the Netherworld Legion...
“They will understand me. Along the way, everyone said they were willing to go through fire and water for me.”
Lufa could only console himself.
When they were first suspected, they could have easily abandoned their identities. Even if being labeled as former followers of Lufa might have alienated them, they could have easily taken on a guard or patrol position in Ares.
But one by one they all chose to follow him.
Bearing the sins of greed, anger, and ignorance!
They reassembled the Netherworld Legion with their hideous appearance.
"Have you all forgotten the general's kindness? If it weren't for the general's selection of us back then, we don't know where we'd be!"
It was just one sentence from Kula that ignited the passion of the entire legion.
"Everything for General Lufa!"
We are willing to go through fire and water!
…………
"They'll understand me, and you might not necessarily kill them, right?"
Lufa sighed.
They will come back.
Zhang Zhao heard what Lu Fa said.
Having witnessed Lu Fa's ability to carve out such a large chunk of flesh, he couldn't help but admire him as a true ruthless and ambitious figure.
To be able to make such a choice.
In fact, Lu Fa's guess was correct. The Netherworld Legion had always been Zhang Zhao's primary target, although energy crystals were also within Zhang Zhao's considerations. He didn't have much ambition to dominate the Milky Way.
However, Lufa acquired so many energy crystals that some planets were directly destroyed by him, while others simply lost their energy crystals and the ability to reproduce.
He actually wanted to see if this part could be salvaged.
As for the Asura Armor, although he wanted it, his desire for it wasn't that strong.
The Shura Armor was merely a bargaining chip for him to achieve the "demolition effect" (which refers to first making a large demand, followed by a smaller, more acceptable one; the smaller demand appears more reasonable and is therefore more easily accepted due to the preceding larger demand).
