A giant like Dudek wasn't like Kurita Isao. He wouldn't just cave after a few threats. Lin Baici figured Dudek would definitely take the opportunity to ask him about some secrets.
For example, how he knew the key to purifying Rule Pollution.
But Lin Baici had misjudged him.
When Dudek heard that they needed to use singing to stir the King's EMO emotions, he didn't waste a word. He went straight to preparing the choir.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to perform for you!"
Dudek raised his cup.
Lin Baici might have looked young, but who was he? What had he accomplished?
Without Lin Baici, they wouldn't have made it to the palace so quickly. At least eighty percent of them might even have died.
The god sat high upon its throne, its oppressive presence bearing down on every direction and filling the hall with the weight of death. Lin Baici wouldn't play games at a time like this.
Dudek understood that, which was why he hadn't asked Lin Baici about his secrets.
Killing the god, containing the God's Remains, and purifying this God Ruins were the urgent priorities.
"Oh?"
The King grew interested and wanted to see a foreign performance. "Sing!"
The choir had been reduced to half its original size, but they weren't the least bit sorrowful. Dudek had brainwashed them into believing they were giving everything for the great cause of saving humanity.
It was a noble thing to do.
The choir lined up, and once they were in position, Dudek faced the King and bowed.
"A song called 'Nectar,' for Your Majesty!"
After speaking, Dudek turned to the choir and began to conduct, like a music maestro.
The choir began to sing.
At first, there were no lyrics, just a wavering, soaring "ah, ah, ah" refrain.
