Nikolette's tumultuous fate had come to an end with her suicide.
What about Eve herself?
Her father died in battle, and she was forced to join Nathan. She felt lost, unsure if she would end up like Nikolette, with a tragic ending.
She couldn't help but look toward Nathan. At this moment, her only hope was that if Nathan truly managed to defeat the God King one day, he would fulfill his promise and spare the Gods.
Nikolette's death only stirred emotions in Eve, but her death was not worth mentioning in the eyes of Nathan and Toothless.
Nikolette and Torii's bodies were soon dragged away.
Nathan instructed Hepburn, Eve, and Marcus to immediately lead people to claim the two captured spaceships as spoils of war. Furthermore, they were to carry out emergency repairs, striving to restore the power systems of the two spaceships in the shortest possible time, and leave this place before the Gods could regroup and strike back.
Hepburn and the others accepted their orders and left.
A feast was prepared by Toothless to entertain Nathan.
Nathan sat down with Toothless and the other pirate leaders. On the surface, they were celebrating their success, but in reality, they were discussing cooperation.
Nathan picked up a cup of seaweed wine, took a sip, and slightly furrowed his brow.
This seaweed wine was really hard to swallow.
It tasted worse than the lousiest beer on Earth and had a hint of a stale flavor.
However, Toothless and his crew thoroughly enjoyed it, savoring it as if it were a fine wine.
Nathan knew that this seaweed wine was considered a luxury among the pirates. He remained silent, calmly finishing his drink before finally speaking up. “Your Excellency, have you given any thought to our cooperation?”
Cooperation?
Naturally, it was Nathan who proposed to purchase a batch of spaceships from the pirates. As a condition of the exchange, Nathan would provide the pirates with a batch of supplies. At the same time, he made a vow. After conquering the Divine Realm, he promised to provide the pirates a place to live.
