Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

"Aren't you a general now?"

"Hmm, my mental strength has dropped to A-level, making me unsuitable for important positions."

However, the empire has shown no intention of dismissing him from his post.

Firstly, because they cannot bring such ruthlessness to the empire due to the countless honors that Avis once brought them.

Secondly, because the three armed forces are the most united of all armies.

Elvis had only charged into the horde of ferocious beasts in his insect-riding Sky Silver Guard in order to save his female subordinates, which caused his mental strength to drop.

Right now is the moment when the female soldiers of the three services have the greatest respect and gratitude for Elvis.

If other insects were introduced at this time, it would be counterproductive and would cause the females of the three armies to rebel.

Jian Chi turned around, took two steps forward, walked to the sofa, sat down, chuckled softly, and looked at Elvis:

"The stars...it can't be just for that reason, can it?"

【…】

The system has nothing more to say about Elvis's storyline having already deviated to this extent.

In the original storyline, even when Elvis's mental strength dropped to A-level, he did not voluntarily resign from his position as general.

Of course, Avis is still a general, which is his military rank, but he no longer holds any military position.

Therefore, his mental strength dropping to level A was not the real reason he resigned from his military post.

There is only one reason that could make him resign.

Ives was not surprised that the male ruler could guess.

He paused for a moment, then walked towards Jian Chi, squatted down, tilted his head slightly back, and said softly:

"My lord, my future has been planned from the moment I was born."

Over the years, I haven't been able to relax for even a moment, afraid that I might not have done enough and disappoint my husband and wife.

For him, the three armies were more like a heavy burden, carrying the weighty hopes from his father, his mother, and his family.

It was so heavy it made him feel suffocated.

Compared to other female soldiers, he didn't actually love war that much.

It was only because he could temporarily forget the heavy burden he carried by attacking without restraint and destroying ferocious beasts on the battlefield that he was able to forget the heavy burden he carried.

"...So, my lord, there's no need to hesitate. My resignation from the military was more because I wanted to relax, and it had little to do with my lord."

Jian Chi lowered his eyes to meet his gaze, but the latter's gaze shifted appropriately to another place.

Is it really?

He reached out, pinched Elvis's chin, and applied a little force.

"Elvis, don't lie," he said. "I don't like lying."

Whether the lie is good or evil.

Elvis's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I'm resigning from my military post simply because I'm no longer fit to go to the battlefield in my current condition."

"You can ask me to remove your half-insect form."

"But my lord, didn't you say you couldn't do it? And even if you could, I don't want you to show that pained expression again."

Such pain should not be borne by such a gentle and powerful ruler.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, what I just said was the truth, my lord. I never intended to lie to you."

How could he deceive the powerful ruler?

Since the first time they met, when the lord told him not to lie, he has never told a lie again.

Jian Chi's eyes darkened.

"good."

He then bent down slightly.

After a long while, Jian Chi released Elvis and yawned.

The drowsiness during this second evolutionary period really comes on its own.

"My lord, shall we go home?"

Jian Chi hummed in agreement, stood up, and asked him, "Have you packed all your things?"

Since Elvis no longer held a position in the military, he naturally had to take his personal belongings with him.

"It's all packed up." There wasn't much to pack anyway.

Jian Chi boarded the aircraft first, and as soon as he got in, he yawned again and closed his eyes, feeling drowsy.

Elvis boarded the aircraft and, before getting on, turned and silently looked at the deserted military encampment.

Actually, it's not completely empty. It's not like they're never coming back. The female soldiers will still return in shifts after the battle, just like always. It's just that most of those left behind are sub-females.

After a while, he withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes to conceal his emotions, and boarded the aircraft.

Seeing that the male was sleeping, Elvis knew it was because of the early stage of the second evolution, so he sat down quietly.

The smart bracelet alerted him that another insect had sent him a message.

But Ivis didn't open them, and didn't look at any of them.

At this moment, he didn't want to be disturbed by any information about insects.

Jian Chi slept for quite a long time.

He was half-awake when he vaguely heard sounds outside, and that's when he woke up.

He remained inside the spacecraft, while Elvis and Honey were talking outside.

I stretched, and the system's voice sounded in my mind right on time:

[Host, you shouldn't have forgotten Elvis's ending, should you...]

Jian Chi raised an eyebrow.

I haven't forgotten. I haven't forgotten him, and I haven't forgotten mine either.

After all, no matter what happens now, Elvis will die in six months, and he will die three months after Elvis.

"...Ahem, it's good that you haven't forgotten. I'm sorry, host, I couldn't help it..."

The system's voice sounded rather aggrieved.

I'm not blaming you.

As Jian Chi spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Elvis, who was talking to Hani outside the aircraft, and he didn't look away.

[Host, what are you looking at?]

[Naturally, it's all about my queen.]

[...Host, you've fallen for him?]

Upon hearing this, Jian Chi clicked his tongue.

Why do you keep saying you like someone? You're a system, why do you care about these things?

[Hehehe, I was just curious~ Besides, didn't you say before that Elvis only liked you because you were nice to him?]

【so what?】

So, what I really want to ask is, has your opinion changed at all?

If nothing changes, then the host shouldn't be thinking about altering the plot or anything like that.

This also helps to prevent the original storyline from changing in the event of this.

The system was secretly thinking.

Jian Chi, upon hearing the system's question, paused for a moment, a rare occurrence for him.

Has anything changed...?

If it were before, he could be sure, but now...

Just then, Elvis, who was talking to Hani outside the aircraft, glanced over and met Jian Chi's gaze.

Avis was stunned.

For some reason, he felt that the male ruler's emotions were a bit off.

"General Elvis, what's wrong? Besides tomatoes and eggs, is there anything else you need?"

I'm going to Blue Star in a few days... the planet that Brother Chi gave me. I might not be able to connect to the Star Network then, so remember to let me know in advance!

"Your Excellency Hani, please wait a moment."

After Elvis finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Jian Chi.
