Hyper-Dimensional Player-Chapter 500 - 82: Changing the Script, Changing the Lead! Duncan Takes the Stage (Part 2)
The acting was really good!
The leader unit of the Blood-colored Skull Mark, it’s not so easily heavily injured by a four-star unit.
Queen Oreitia’s strength is deeply hidden.
Her true combat power is probably close to the level of an ordinary Demigod, approximately equivalent to a Valkyrie of the Norse Pantheon at full strength.
"Go!"
Duncan hoisted the injured Hegel and fled.
With a god’s-eye view as a boon, the opponent couldn’t catch up at all. After leading a group of Amazonian Warriors in pursuit for a long distance, Queen Oreitia finally had to retreat grudgingly.
Since Duncan had struck a deal with her, some things could be postponed.
In the dense jungle.
After shaking off the pursuers, Duncan put down Hegel from his shoulder.
This burly Barbarian Warrior’s eyes were bloodshot as he gazed at Duncan, gratefully saying, "Quinn, you’ve saved me again."
Duncan said nothing, he just patted his shoulder.
Storm Eira came up at this moment, her expression rather gloomy, and she softly asked, "What should we do next?"
Upon hearing her words, Hegel instinctively looked toward Duncan.
For a moment, it seemed as if he was the backbone of the entire group.
Duncan pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "This vendetta must certainly be avenged, but what’s more important now is to recover and enhance our strength."
"Moreover, we have scores to settle with Prometheus."
Hegel remained silent, as if he no longer had his initial arrogance. It seemed the experiences of this period had dealt him a great blow. He was invincible at the Great Snow Mountain in the North, but after leaving, he suffered continuous setbacks and almost became a breeding tool himself.
This made him question his own strength.
Was he really that strong?
Without the Divine Power bestowed by the Furious Gods, could he really beat those powerful opponents?
Borrowed power is ultimately not his own.
Duncan patted his shoulder and said, "During this time, I’ve taken an island and subdued a group of pirates."
"Let’s strengthen ourselves first; the other matters can be dealt with later."
The Furious Gods each have their own plots. The Lady of Fury undoubtedly values the ocean more, while the God of Strength is betting on Hegel’s legend.
What Duncan needs to do now is divide them, steering the protagonist of the mythical script away from the main plot.
Presently.
Duncan is very likely one of the protagonists pre-designated by the Lady of Fury, whereas Hegel is the God of Strength’s bet. Now, Duncan wants to lead Hegel astray from his original script, making him a direct ally, joining the mythical story the Lady of Fury hopes to see.
First, divide them, then suppress them.
As soon as Hegel deviates from the original script, Duncan can start setting up his own legend.
Upon hearing Duncan’s words, Hegel fell into deep thought.
All along, he followed the Oracle in pursuit of glory, but now he felt uncertain, even feeling that Duncan’s decision was right.
"Do you plan to conquer the sea?"
Hegel serves the God of Strength, and under normal circumstances, he would not deliberately serve the Lady of Fury; within the Furious Gods, there is a self-contained system, and with their personalities, it is impossible for them to be a loving family.
Duncan said solemnly, "Whether we conquer the sea is not important."
"What is important is that we must enhance our strength."
Hegel finally made a decision and nodded solemnly, "What is your plan?"
Duncan’s eyes were resolute as he said, "Our strength comes from combat, whether from fury or wildness, we must defeat powerful opponents to elevate ourselves."
"I have some friends in the deep sea; although there is great risk, there is also great reward."
If you can’t beat the boss, then you level up first.
Hegel was too reliant on the Divine Power bestowed by the Divine Spirit in the past, and his own combat strength hadn’t reached the level of a Five-star Legend yet.
This time, being treated like a breeding tool deeply stimulated Hegel.
He nodded without hesitation and said, "I’ll go with you."
To hell with the Oracle.
After being driven into the sea by Prometheus on the Golden Coast and being treated as a mating tool by the Amazon Women on the Storm Isles, Hegel now only wants to hone himself and have the strength to challenge all enemies.
The potential of the Divine Son, he hasn’t even unleashed it.
Duncan, along with Hegel, escaped from the Storm Isles. Upon seeing Hegel, who appeared quite haggard, Crete said nothing more and simply gave him a heavy hug.
The experiences of this period were undoubtedly the most humiliating in Hegel’s life.
Annie-Potter looked up and down at Hegel, for some reason, she suddenly let out a sigh of relief, because now Hegel clearly wasn’t a threat to Duncan’s position.
In fact, she was also afraid of a full-on confrontation with the Amazonian Warriors, as these fierce female warriors had quite a reputation.
The pirate ship soon set sail.
Duncan’s involvement was like pausing the main storyline of the game, and what followed was the side quest he initiated, except this time around, the central protagonist was no longer Hegel.
Now, the script and the protagonist have been switched!
Swapping roles.
When Duncan stood on the deck looking out over the distant sea, with a god’s-eye view, he could see some hidden figures among the waves far away, unseen by the naked eye.
—Sea Spirits (maids of the Lady of Fury).
Hegel faced setbacks in the Storm Isles and even escaped from there, undoubtedly making the Lady of Fury restless. Now, the unequivocal core of the Barbarians is Duncan, and no doubt, Duncan’s focus is on the sea.
This has made her directly benefit, even willing to have a confrontation with the God of Strength over it.
