Chapter 101 The Howling of the Gluttonous King
Chapter 101 The Howling of the Gluttonous King
As He Xi led Hinata into the Heavenly Court of Merlo, Hinata recounted how she had displayed great power and routed Morgana's demon army, occasionally gesturing with her hands.
"This child, you've been talking all the way, aren't you tired?"
Keisha looked at Hinata, whose interest was still high, and couldn't help but rub her forehead.
I guess it's because she hasn't chatted with a close friend for too long. But why do I feel that Hinata wasn't as happy as I expected during this trip to Earth? And it's quite obvious that there's an unspeakable emotion hidden beneath Hinata's seemingly happy expression.
During this period, the child's behavior has been clearly abnormal. Logically speaking, since she has finally returned to Earth, she should at least see some old acquaintances, and Hinata has retrieved all the puppets and Little Fire that she left on Earth.
This seemed highly unusual to Keisha. Hinata had always considered Earth her second home; even if she took Little Fire away, shouldn't she at least take away all the puppets left behind? Hinata's puppets weren't angels, nor were they under her control, and Keisha had no intention of having Hinata take them back. After all, even with those puppets, without the restraint of angelic justice and order, Earth would still be overrun by the Taotie army.
Keisha had a vague feeling that the child must have gone through something, but Hinata had hardly ever met anyone alone on Earth. Hmm? Could it be that monkey?
When she was checking Earth's information, she discovered that Dukao was actually analyzing Hinata's data. Could it be that the monkey was acting on Dukao's orders to persuade Hinata to do something that violated the bottom line?
It must be. Otherwise, why would the little guy take all the puppets with him when he just went out? And not long ago, he said he wanted to help the Chinese exoskeleton mecha team upgrade their equipment, but now he hasn't mentioned it at all.
Given Hinata's personality, the other party shouldn't have forgotten something so important.
Especially the God-Slaying Sniper Rifle and Gravity Pistol that Hinata has been working day and night to produce these past few days.
Given Hinata's personality, if she had personally given this batch of equipment to those exoskeleton mecha teams, she would definitely have boasted to her mother about how amazing the exoskeleton mecha teams she helped train for Earth were. But the fact that they haven't mentioned it at all speaks volumes.
Oh well, there's plenty of time in the future anyway. If Hinata is willing to talk, then she, as her mother, will just be a listener. If Hinata isn't willing to talk, then she'll pretend she doesn't know anything.
……
Meanwhile, Earth.
Looking at the thousands of new-style equipment left behind by Hinata, Huang Lao's anger towards Du Kao and the Super Soldier Corps reached its peak.
What a good child! That bastards in the Super Soldier Corps suspected her of having ulterior motives. They don't even bother to think things through. With all the powerful figures Hinata left behind, any one of them could easily sweep through the Super Soldier Corps. If they really had something to gain, why would they need to go through all this trouble?
Although this child only stayed in China for a few years, his help to China was many times greater than that of Dukao, a Deno alien who had stayed on Earth for hundreds of years.
Dukao has been in China for so many years, but how much help has he actually provided? He clearly possesses cutting-edge technology, yet he holds onto it tightly and refuses to share it with China, while he has certainly been exploiting Earth's resources.
Over the years, under the guise of the Super God Academy, how much energy has been extracted from Earth? As a result, the Super Soldier Corps they trained has become more and more useless. Apart from Sun Wukong, the native guardian of Earth, who is somewhat normal, the rest are all deformed and monstrous.
The cowardly, sycophantic Ge Xiaolun; the perverted, chrysanthemum-obsessed Lightning Letter; the delinquent girl Du Qiangwei; the gangster boss Liu Chuang; and the big-breasted, brainless goddess Di Leina—it's a mystery why Du Kao cultivated these promising talents into such problem teenagers. Despite possessing extraordinary genes, their character is worse than the last. Most importantly, they don't allow the military to interfere in the training of gene warriors, treating the Super Soldier Corps entirely as their private army.
If it weren't for Hinata's continuous research and development of new weapons and armor for the country over the years, and the dispatch of more than a dozen gods to help China, China would have fallen long ago during the previous invasions by Taotie and demons.
Now, the other party has actually instigated Ge Xiaolun to reject the ally that Hinata had gone to great lengths to bring in, and even believes that Hinata came to Earth with ulterior motives. As a result, the little girl happily brought thousands of warriors to help fight Taotie, only to be driven away by the Super Soldier Corps.
Hinata is indeed an alien, but you, Dukao, are not from Earth either. Moreover, you've been calling yourself Deno all these years. Anyone who didn't know better would think this was Deno.
Ducato has indeed provided some technological support to China over the years, but compared to the resources it has expended, it is simply incomparable.
Dukao has seized all of Earth's Dark Iron, as well as many other resources. Most importantly, even though the Super Soldier Corps consists of native Earthlings, Dukao has direct command over them.
The recent battle was riddled with flaws and almost brought annihilation to Juxia City. If it weren't for the fire dragon left behind by Hinata in time, the entire Super Soldier Corps would probably have been wiped out.
Don't think he doesn't know what Dukao is thinking. He just wants to get the information from Hinata, research the abilities of the super soldiers around Hinata, and even take Hinata's fire dragon and the warriors for himself.
This isn't the first time Dukao has done something like this over the years. They had turned a blind eye to it before because Dukao had helped China, but they didn't expect him to extend his reach to their ally this time, which has crossed China's bottom line.
Regardless, he had to find a way to remove Dukao from his position as the supreme commander of the Super Soldier Corps, otherwise he would be letting down Hinata's equipment for these mecha warriors.
"Chen Shan."
"Chief."
Chen Shan, the captain of the exoskeleton mecha team, was studying the guns left behind by Hinata when Huang Lao called out to him. He immediately stood at attention and replied.
"Come with me to North Star. I need to report to the higher-ups that Dukao has squeezed out my Chinese allies. Also, bring all the exoskeleton mech warriors and distribute these weapons to them. Let them familiarize themselves with them as soon as possible. We must first secure our own territory before dealing with external threats. Dukao has squeezed out your leaders this time, and we must seek justice for her."
Upon hearing Elder Huang's words, Chen Shan immediately perked up. He had been feeling incredibly stifled these past few days; if Elder Huang hadn't stopped him, he would have already grabbed the new weapon developed by the Hyuga researcher and blown up Dukao.
