Paladin of Asgard - Chapter 467
[Four hundred and fifty-four [Lonely and widowed]]
“Why?” Emperor Xia said with his mouth open in disbelief.
“This…I’m afraid you have to ask yourself this.” Luo Wei said.
Emperor Xia exploded on the spot, stepped forward and grabbed Luo Wei’s collar, and roared frantically: “She is my wife, how could I not love her?! Give me the soul gem, give me!”
Luo Wei pushed him away: “Husband and wife may not love each other, and the emperor may not necessarily love the queen. This is not a strange thing. Whether you love your wife or not, I think you should know better than anyone else.”
Emperor Xia stepped forward to grab Luo Wei again, and shouted hoarsely: “I know I love her, give me the soul gem quickly! I want the soul gem, give me quickly!!”
Luo Wei sighed: “I also hope that you can leave Vormir with the soul gem, but this is not up to me. According to the judgment of the soul gem, you just don’t love your wife, and the sacrifice is invalid.”
Emperor Xiya was still not reconciled, panting heavily, but could not speak.
After a while, he turned around and walked to a subject, and said in a deep voice, “Prime Minister Oka, you swore to be loyal to me to the death, right?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Prime Minister Oka bowed his head and said. He looked very old, with gray hair, but he was still in good spirits.
He said without any hesitation: “If you need it, I am willing to exchange it for you as a sacrifice for the soul gem.”
“No.” Emperor Xia vetoed, “I can’t sacrifice you, the revival of the empire needs your strength.”
Then he moved his gaze to behind Oka: “I want you to sacrifice your son.”
Oka’s face changed when he heard the words, and he subconsciously protected his son standing behind him: “Your Majesty, this, he…he is still a child!”
Emperor Xia put his hands on his shoulders and looked straight into his eyes: “I know he is your only child. But you should understand that this is for the future of our country and the entire Xia nation. I have sacrificed my wife to this, Oka, and you said you would die, didn’t you?”
[UU Reading 00kxs] Prime Minister Oka was silent for a long time.
After a while, he turned to look at his son: “My child…”
“Father…” the son backed away in horror.
Emperor Xia grabbed him, dragged him to the edge of the cliff, then looked at Prime Minister Oka, gritted his teeth and said, “It’s up to you, push him down.”
Prime Minister Oka opened his mouth, walked over slowly, and looked at his son.
“No, father, I don’t want to die!” The boy knelt on the ground, begging with tears streaming down his face.
Prime Minister Oka stretched out his hand, but stopped in mid-air, and did not push it to his son for a long time. His skinny fingers kept trembling, showing his inner struggle.
At the same time, dozens of other people witnessed this scene and couldn’t help discussing with each other.
“That child is so pitiful!”
“I don’t think the Prime Minister would do this. This is his only child, and he values it more than his life…”
Faced with similar voices, someone in the crowd immediately retorted: “Don’t you think the prime minister should not sacrifice his child?”
Prime Minister Oka still didn’t move, his trembling hands stopped in mid-air.
“What are you hesitating about, my Prime Minister?” Emperor Xia asked, “For the revival of Xia, the people will remember your contribution and sacrifice.”
half an hour.
Prime Minister Oka took a long breath, lowered his arms, and shook his head: “Sorry, Your Majesty, I can’t do it…”
“What are you saying, you can’t do it?” Emperor Xia opened his eyes wide.
Prime Minister Oka bowed his head: “Yes. I can’t obey your order, please execute me for treason.”
“You…” The corner of Emperor Xiya’s mouth twitched, and he couldn’t help clenching his fists.
“Hmph!” he snorted angrily, but did not execute the prime minister.
Emperor Xiya walked into the crowd again, looked left and right and pointed out: “My foreign minister,
You and your wife are stronger than gold, now is the time for you to dedicate your life to the country!
”
His demeanor was a little crazy, and his tone was no different from persecution.
Everyone turned their eyes to the foreign minister, and the atmosphere was so quiet that it was hard to breathe.
The foreign secretary was silent.
Emperor Xiya became more and more frantic, and stepped forward to grab his clothes: “Damn it, what are you hesitating about? Are you going to sit back and watch the destruction of the Xiya Empire, and let us lose our only chance to turn defeat into victory? Huh?”
“Your Majesty, with all due respect…it is impossible for us to make a comeback,” said the Foreign Secretary.
Someone echoed: “Yes, Your Majesty, in fact, we can start from scratch, first conquer a backward civilization, and develop slowly. Isn’t the Xiya Empire developed from a small civilization?”
Emperor Xia roared: “As long as you have the soul gem, you can do it! Sacrifice your wife, or let your wife sacrifice you, for our country!”
“It’s your country, not ours.” A sentence burst out from the crowd.
Although this sentence is not loud, it is like a stone breaking the sky.
Everyone felt that because of the appearance of these words, the atmosphere permeating here had changed from tense to dangerous.
Emperor Xiya was silent for half a second, looked at the subject who said this, and asked coldly, “What did you say?”
Cold sweat was dripping from the man’s head, but unexpectedly he did not flinch, but shouted angrily, pointing at him and saying: “We have had enough! You madman, tyrant, wife-killer, you for your rule and ambition , don’t care about anyone’s life!”
Emperor Xiya was taken aback, then looked at the soldiers beside him: “Kill him, kill this traitor!”
The soldiers were still loyal, and immediately obeyed the order, ready to raise their guns and shoot.
However, not everyone maintained their loyalty. Before the Emperor Xia finished speaking, someone shouted: “We can no longer listen to this tyrant, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com He will sacrifice all of us! ”
“Kill the tyrant!”
“kill!”
About half of the people chose to betray Emperor Xiya, and the battle broke out. Just now, they were comrades-in-law, and then they killed each other in a blink of an eye. Dozens of people fought in a melee.
Apart from the two warring parties, several people chose to leave, ran to the small spaceship not far away, and left Vormir star directly.
Among them was the green-skinned Zehuberi.
The battle proceeded quickly, like a group of eggs fighting each other with stones, which is almost the norm of technological civilization.
What is somewhat surprising is that Emperor Xia’s combat power is not weak. With the help of excellent equipment, he became the last survivor of this battle, even though he was also seriously injured.
Holding the wound on his chest, he shot down the last enemy who had fallen to the ground, then panted and looked around, and suddenly found that he was alone.
Apart from the statue-like guardian and a few people who escaped by spaceship, he was the only one left on the huge Vormir planet.
“Soul gem…Give me the soul gem…I’m going to kill Thanos…” Emperor Shia still didn’t give up his obsession, dragged his seriously injured body towards Luo Wei, his eyes were cloudy, and he repeated indistinctly.
Luo Wei felt that this guy was about to pounce on him, so he took a quick step and said at the same time: “I’ve said it many times, I don’t have a soul gem.”
etc.
Thanos?
Luo Wei froze for a moment, but suddenly realized that Emperor Xia seemed to have mentioned Thanos just now.
“Thanos destroyed the Xiya Empire?” He turned around and asked, only to find that the Xiya Emperor had disappeared, and there was no one behind him.
