Chapter 805 - 631 Are You Worth It?_2

However, the Giants were utterly divided on whether Suolin was human or a dragon. Some believed she should be a dragon, as that was her original form. But others argued that the most suitable form for Suolin would be human, because it was in her human form that she had traveled through time.

In face of this issue, the Giants exhibited an unimaginable level of conservatism, even deciding to halt their research until a unanimous opinion could be reached.

This only made Suolin, who already felt somewhat uncomfortable, even more bored.

So, after a few tedious days, Suolin proposed,

"Let me go on a time travel experiment."

Her suggestion was almost immediately met with unanimous approval from all the researchers.

Neither Suolin herself nor the Giants had ever dared to initiate such a proposal, as time travel was risky. But now that Suolin had requested it herself, the scientists truly could not ask for more.

Thus, not long after Suolin arrived in this strange time and space, she embarked on the journey of time travel once again.

Meanwhile.

The planet, provisionally named Giant Beast Star, had become a thorn in the side of the Azure Sky Empire, particularly after it had taken hostage a Crown Prince, a Princess, and a Captain of the Empire, which incensed the entire royal family of the Azure Sky Empire.

What was even more inconceivable was that these Giant Beasts had even hijacked eight battleships of the Azure Sky royal navy!

Although these eight battleships were not the super battleships of the Azure Sky Empire, they were still among its main forces. The fact that eight battleships could be overtaken by Giant Beasts, often seen as mere toys, in addition to the capture of two members of the royal family and a host of other rich nobles big and small, had made the Giant Beast Star arguably the most dangerous place in this Plane.

There were even suggestions within the Azure Sky Empire that, in order to rescue the Crown Prince and Princess, they would have to deploy their main fleet and accompany it with extremely strong combat forces to suppress the Giant Beasts, otherwise, success would be very difficult.

And all of this was for one reason only.

The Giant Beast Queen.

The Giant Beast Fights were well-known throughout the Plane, even the royalty of the Azure Sky Empire often took part in them. But such accidents had never occurred before. In the Giant Beast Fights, each Giant Beast was captured with great care; they were not tamed at all, retaining as much of their captive rage as possible, and fought under the compulsion of contracts. In other words, the inclusion of an unknown Giant Beast was absolutely impossible.

So, where did this Giant Beast Queen come from? A Giant Beast capable of transforming into human form surely possessed human intelligence, taking hostages, seizing battleships—these were certainly not combat tactics that Giant Beasts could come up with.

Could it be that this Giant Beast Queen was actually a native creature of this desolate planet, awakened by the disturbances of the Giant Beast Fights?

Such a thing was not impossible!

The officials in charge of investigating the matter were completely overwhelmed with no idea where this massive spider-like creature had come from. According to all records, the Giants had once created some Dragon Hunting Spiders. But those Dragon Hunting Spiders were barely over thirty meters in size, nothing like the hundreds-of-meters-long terrifying creatures before them!

While others were overwhelmed with her, Isrile, at the same time, was also busy non-stop.

She was busy planning the first step of her grand journey—leaving this place.

Giant Beasts rarely had the ability to travel through space, so to leave this place, they would inevitably need to use a spaceship. This was exactly why Isrile had asked the Captain to help her get hold of several battleships.

Originally, Isrile had thought it would be good enough if the Captain could bring back just one battleship. But to her surprise, after seizing the flagship, the Captain had forced the Azure Sky fleet’s captains to issue false orders, eventually hijacking eight battleships and bringing them back!

This Captain was a true talent.

Underneath Isrile’s vast web, the Captain and his subordinates were rewarded for their excellent performance. They could move freely under the web instead of being tied there, while the newly captured Captain and his crew glared at them.

If it were not for this Captain, they would still be high above in the skies, looking down upon this place, rather than being stripped naked, tied up in Spider Silk, and reduced to prisoners.

As for those glaring eyes, the Captain did not care at all. He did not believe he had done anything wrong since everything he did was out of compulsion, all to save his own life. For that, he would have no guilt whatsoever.

Because of the fleet’s losses, the Azure Sky Empire had ceased all offensive actions. While more warships were gathering, they dared not launch any attacks.

On the ground, smaller and more agile Giant Beasts bustled around the warships, dismantling everything inside. The captain knew that the true purpose of the Giant Beast Queen’s desire for the warships was to leave this place.

Would he let me go?

The captain asked himself.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Isrile waving at him from afar, and the captain hurried over.

"I’m planning to leave this place, but before I do, I’d like to offer you an invitation. I wonder if you’d be interested in joining my team? To conquer the entire plane with me?" Isrile said this very calmly, yet very seriously, not sounding like she was joking at all.

"You... you want to conquer the entire plane?" The captain swallowed hard, not out of disbelief, but because he believed her so much that it actually scared him a bit.

"Of course, it’s not difficult," Isrile stated assertively.

"Then what do you plan to do?" the captain didn’t rush to answer, but instead asked out of curiosity and adventurous spirit, which had always been his nature.

"Look, first we’re going to leave this place, and then, I will visit various planets that have Giant Beasts, constantly expanding my Giant Beast army, and eventually, I will descend upon the entire plane with an irresistible force! Then, not to mention the Azure Sky Empire, even the Sky Red Empire, the Sky Yellow Empire, everyone will have to submit before me!"

Isrile declared.

It sounded easy enough, but the captain was not easily swayed. The captain used to be a plane pirate, bold and meticulous, often committing crimes without ever being caught. It was only when he once attempted to hijack a gambling ship that he was captured, yet because of the high price offered by the casino, he joined them with his men.

The offer was simple: the casino would no longer pursue his criminal responsibility, would not turn him in, and would provide him with a job with a handsome reward.

Indeed, whether threatened with his life or tempted by wealth, the captain was sure to be hooked, because that’s just the kind of person he was.

But now, the captain couldn’t see any profit to be made here, especially since Isrile didn’t present any overt threat.

"I... I’ll think about it..."

The captain instinctively said, only to break out in a sweat the moment he finished speaking. He was dealing with the Giant Beast Queen, after all! She might seem gentle, but she was inherently a Giant Beast! What was there to think about?! He could lose his life in an instant, couldn’t he?

"The wealth I conquer, I’ll share a tenth with you."

Isrile said.

A tenth?

It didn’t sound like a lot.

But if Isrile truly aimed for an entire plane, that tenth could be staggering!

Then, seemingly possessed by some mischievous spirit, the captain shakily held up two fingers.

"I want a fifth!"

"A fifth?" Isrile laughed, "Are you worth that much?"

Hearing Isrile’s retort, the captain immediately relaxed.

"Rest assured, my Queen, I will prove with my actions that I’m truly worth it!"

The captain was a pirate, with no honor or reputation to speak of, but ample wealth could always sway him. (To be continued.
