Chapter 261 You Stink So Much!
Chapter 261 You Stink So Much!
Before entering this world, Chen Yu had a somewhat inadequate understanding of his own power.
In the Soaring Dragon Empire on Blue Star, their protection of him was too thorough. Those who secretly coveted him were dealt with directly.
As a result, he hardly encountered enemies that were too powerful.
Being constantly surrounded by peers limited his vision and ability to showcase his strength.
It was like a king playing fish-blasting games in a low-level guild, gradually feeling that he might only be a gold or platinum player.
It wasn't until he effortlessly killed a Rank Seven Demon Boss that he realized he was no longer a "genius," but a "strong individual."
So he quickly adjusted his self-perception.
In this world, he was among the strongest.
The Empire needed him and hoped that he would continue to help them overcome difficulties.
After receiving Chen Yu's affirmation, Derek immediately left the military tent.
"Sir."
Sophia stepped forward, tidied up the cup of water Derek had drunk from, and then stood behind Chen Yu, massaging his shoulders.
"Have you finally decided to cooperate with the Empire?"
"It depends." Chen Yu said softly.
"I hope they can provide more useful information."
"If they are strong enough, it would be best to cooperate with me in eradicating the Fallen."
"If they are too weak, it wouldn't be bad for them to stay in the rear and defend Kale City with all their might."
"Forgive me for being presumptuous." A hint of doubt flashed in Sophia's eyes.
"Why are you so persistent in fighting against the Abyss?"
"It seems that you don't care much about the life and death of the Empire."
"Do you have any grudges against the Abyss?"
"Grudges with the Abyss?" Chen Yu smiled. "Not really."
"Strictly speaking, I also belong to the Abyss camp."
"My goal is simply to defend Kale City."
Sophia immediately understood.
Belonging to the Abyss but supporting the human Empire?
Wasn't this clearly an internal conflict within the Abyss?
From the attitudes of those demons, this person was definitely a big shot in the Abyss!
His status was definitely not lower than that of the "Lord Gula" who invaded this world!
She bit her lip and gathered her courage to say, "Sir, if you fulfill your wish, can I continue to follow in your footsteps?"
"How is that possible..." Chen Yu laughed and shook his head.
But then, he showed a different expression.
The world of the Potential Trial was very peculiar, neither a dungeon nor a Secret Realm.
Even time existed independently. No matter how long one spent inside, it would only be two hours on Blue Star.
What was even stranger was that even power of Supreme Level quality was difficult to invade.
The World Tree and the Path of Reincarnation could still transmit a bit of power through the Unsurpassable Sacred Ground and himself.
But his good friend, the "Abyss Will," had been completely cut off from contact.
It must be noted that the Abyss existed in this world!
Yet the Abyss Will couldn't come over from the world adjacent to the Abyss. This was truly strange!
Combining it with Delia's situation, he had three conjectures.
One was that in the timeline when he entered this world, the "Abyss Will" had not yet been born or had not yet met him before the endless ages.
The second was that in the timeline after the endless ages, the Abyss Will had already perished.
The third was that this was an independent space-time, similar to the existence of a dungeon.
And, the space-time of the Potential Trial mission must have powerful rules that isolate cause and effect.
The skill "Devotion of the Abyss" had a description that mentioned ignoring space-time, which undoubtedly proved that the Abyss Will had the ability to alter causality.
In other words, this is a space-time that even the Supreme Level cannot do anything about!
If Chen Yu can leave some "seeds" here, with his absolute control over the plant life under his command, he can analyze which situation it belongs to.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance!" Chen Yu's mouth curled up with an inexplicable smile as he said to Sophia.
"Thank you, sir!" Sophia was instantly overjoyed and quickly walked to Chen Yu's side, kneeling down on one knee to show her loyalty.
After returning to the camp, Sophia had already changed out of her heavy standard armor.
Her exquisite curves made Chen Yu's heart slightly warm.
If it were any other time, Chen Yu wouldn't have been moved.
But at this moment, his heart was filled with a lot of resentment, making him more impulsive than usual.
Chen Yu helped Sophia up, then embraced her slender waist and made her sit on his lap.
Sophia was first startled, then overjoyed.
Her eyes were filled with affection as she leaned against Chen Yu's chest.
Chen Yu held Sophia in his arms, habitually lowered his head, and sniffed her long hair.
Immediately, a nauseating smell hit him, causing him to instantly lose all thoughts.
The women he had been in close contact with, including Feng Xuejie, Bai Si, the little loli, and even Su Miaoyue, all maintained good personal hygiene.
The spirits and world tree in the garden were even more fragrant.
But Sophia, who hadn't taken a bath for who knows how long, had an overwhelmingly sour smell.
Chen Yu pushed Sophia away, his face full of frustration, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell, sir?"
"You stink." Chen Yu said mercilessly, "Humans really are disappointing."
Sophia's face changed.
Thinking of the beautiful girls summoned by Chen Yu, a sense of inferiority surged within her.
With a mournful face, she ran out of the tent, presumably to find a place to take care of her personal hygiene.
As it approached dusk.
General Derek led two men dressed as generals into Chen Yu's tent.
The two generals had smiling faces and seemed to be in a very good mood.
"Lord Saldano, I have long heard of your name." The middle-aged general at the forefront greeted first, "I am Adolf, the commander of the Empire's front-line intelligence."
"Commander Adolf, Commander Lelodo, please have a seat."
Chen Yu sat in the main seat, and Sophia led the two commanders to a small table.
General Derek stood by the side.
The three of them didn't mind Chen Yu's indifference.
After all, they didn't come here to compete with Chen Yu for superiority.
Chen Yu was very satisfied with their attitude because it meant that he had the upper hand.
"Lord Saldano, first of all, I would like to express the Empire's gratitude for your contributions! At the same time, I personally thank you for your support!" Adolf stood up and bowed to Chen Yu.
Lelodo and Derek also bowed at the same time.
"It's nothing. Our interests are aligned. Even without you, I would still do the same." Chen Yu said directly.
Adolf and Lelodo were momentarily stunned.
The information contained in Chen Yu's words was too complicated.
They had been speculating about Chen Yu's origins and motives.
Information that ordinary soldiers didn't know, they knew very well.
The main force under Chen Yu's command was the Abyss demons!
For a moment, their thoughts were in turmoil.
"Lord Saldano, may I ask if you have any requests from the Empire?" Adolf asked cautiously.
"No need to test me." Chen Yu said calmly, "I'm not interested in you."
"I just don't want to see this world being swallowed by the Abyss."
"Also, I know what you're thinking."
"Don't think of me as a lowly creature like the Abyss demons!"
