Chapter 102 Promises are for humans, are you even human? (Please subscribe on 14/15!!)

"In the name of Father God Caliban, you, Locke Underwood, will keep your promise and not kill me after I revert to my original form, and will sign a reconciliation agreement with me."

"......

Locke raised an eyebrow as he listened to Garo utter a sentence in obscure language, and then listened to the translated meaning.

"It's that simple?"

"Yes."

One-Armed Garo glanced at the trembling arm on the stone wall, then said to Locke, "Caliban is the father god of our Skrulls, and the deity we worship. Oaths made before Caliban are all under the watchful eye of our Father God."

Locke blinked.

"I have a question."

"What?"

"Isn't your Father God dead?"

.......

One-Armed Jialuo's face turned bright red: "Who said our Father God is dead?"

Locke glared at the one-armed Garo: "You said it yourself, your father is dead, that's why the Kree took over your planet."

Upon hearing this, Jia Luo, who only has one arm, felt his eyelids twitch.

"Our Father God has only disappeared, he is not dead, he will return."

"Heh."

Locke chuckled twice at One-Armed Garo's explanation but made no further reaction.

Missing?

"I'm afraid there won't be any remains left." One-Armed Garo also saw through Locke's thoughts, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes again.

"Fine, swear it then."

"Wait a minute, I have another question."

"...And what do you have?"

One-Armed Jia Luo's brow twitched. If he hadn't been unable to defeat Locke, he probably would have already launched a counterattack.

Damn it.

I shouldn't have wasted my breath on him; I should have just killed him cleanly and efficiently.

At this moment, Jia Luo, the one-armed man, was filled with immense regret.

Locke stroked his chin, looking at the one-armed Garo: "How can I be sure that what you said is the same as what you translated?"

Although he had no faith in gods.

But the Marvel Universe isn't just about gods; it also has curses.

What if Jia Luo's words were some kind of curse? What if he was cursed and misfortune befell him after saying them?

If that's the case, he might as well take a gamble.

He bet that after he killed Garo, a second pure-blooded Skrull would soon appear before him.

Locke thought to himself.

Upon hearing Locke's question, the one-armed Jialuo instinctively opened his mouth to refute it.

but·--·

He opened his mouth, only to find that no amount of explanation would help, because once a chain of suspicion was formed, it was unsolvable.

"—So what do you suggest we do?"

"so."

Locke thought about it and gave up his plan to become a gambler. He looked at Jialuo and thought of a good solution.

"Locke, how do you say that in Skrull language?"

"Kaku!"

"I?"

"Os".

.......

Locke spent ten minutes going back and forth, using various inverted sentences, to get Garo to translate it into Skrull.

Although he didn't understand Skrull, his memory was always excellent.

But Jialuo's memory is definitely not very good.

Because this guy can't even be a villain, Jialuo can use lies to translate the first time or even a dozen times, but by the twentieth time, he will definitely remember the wrong thing he said the first time.

If he is lying.

However, this did not happen.

After confirming several times that Garo had not mistranslated the oath, Locke finally stopped verifying it.

Jia Luo, panting, was getting a headache from Locke's various brain teasers in his translations.

"Is this okay? You can swear an oath now."

"Wait, I have one last question."

Tired, destroy it.

Locke looked at Jialuo, whose eyes had lost all hope, raised an eyebrow, and quickly said, "This is really the last question."

He genuinely wanted to restore Jialuo to her original state.

so.

He can't afford to give up.

The most important thing.

Locke truly had no idea what it meant to plant a talking head inside his own wine vat.

"What?"

"What will happen if I make a vow but then break it?"

As Jialuo listened to Locke's last question, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Locke with an expression of disbelief.

It seems to be saying...

Good grief, I knew you'd change your mind.

Look, the fox's tail is showing.

Forget it, let it all be destroyed, whatever—"

"Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to know about the customs and traditions between our two planets," Locke quickly explained in a serious tone.

Jialuo, who was already planning to start the event, looked at Locke suspiciously.

Locke stared intently at Jia Luo with a sincere expression and bright eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

Jialuo gave a cold laugh.

"Oaths made in the name of Father God Caliban will be subject to the watchful eye of Father God Caliban and the constraints of the Skrulls."

"Under this oath, no one dares to disobey."

"If you break your oath, you will be despised by the Father God, and your name of breaking the covenant will resound throughout the entire Skrull race."

"After you die, you will not be able to return to the embrace of God the Father."

"Even your people, everyone has the right to kill you. Killing you will bring the Father God's reward, making you a Super Skrull."

Locke blinked as he listened to Garo recount the consequences of breaking the vow.

"Super Skrull?"

"The life favored by the Father is the strongest life of our Skrull race."

Does Earth have one?

Locke's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Jialu shook his head in silence.

"no."

"ah."

"If the Father hadn't disappeared, and if the Super Skrulls were still around, we wouldn't have been driven to Earth by the Kree."

".-.All right.""

Upon hearing this, Locke sighed inwardly.

Forget it.

Anyway, he has a system. At worst, he can upgrade himself by spending his superhuman points after gaining Skrull abilities.

As for the punishment for breaking this vow.

Is this what you call punishment?

This is practically a reward.

Listen.

After breaking his oath, any Skrull who kills him will receive the Father's blessing and have the opportunity to become a Super Skrull.

That's great.

You don't need to go anywhere at home; you can just wait for the Skrulls to come to you.

This is not a vow, this is a wish.

"OK!"

I swear.

After Locke understood this, he nodded to Garo without hesitation, and then, under Garo's gaze, made the gesture Garo had just made, and began to swear in Skrull: "In the name of Father God Caliban, I, Locke Underwood, will keep the agreement, as long as Garo returns to his original form, I will not kill Garo, and will sign a reconciliation agreement with Garo."

The oath is complete.

Locke lowered his arm and then looked at Jia Luo in front of him.

"Okay, I've sworn in."

For some reason, even after Locke made the oath, he still didn't quite believe Locke's oath.

Although he is an alien, he has been in the Federation for quite some time.

Jialuo has a very clear understanding of federal politicians.

Politicians will lie through their teeth.

The sons of politicians often surpass their fathers in ability.

but·--·

Once again, the image of how Locke would treat him if he didn't do this echoed in Jia Luo's mind.

His limbs would be scattered and discarded to all corners of the earth, and his head would be soaked in a wine vat by Locke.

Such a scene is worse than death.

He chose to take a gamble.

But he didn't know that there's a saying on Earth.

He's called a gambling addict; may he die a horrible death!

Jialu remained silent, watching Locke.

Locke frowned as he looked at the silent Garo.

"I've made the vow."

".I know."

Garo snapped out of his daze and looked intently at Locke: "I expect you to keep your oath, Locke Underwood, because if you deceive me, you will only be able to deceive me this once. After this, you will never again gain the slightest trust from us Skrulls."

Locke smiled broadly: "Don't worry, I never lie to anyone."

He is a human being, and naturally, he needs to keep the oaths he makes to others.

But are you Skrulls even human?

You are aliens.

Without human rights, what's the point of talking about keeping promises?

Jialuo didn't speak, but looked at his arm hanging on the stone wall: "I need to get my arm back."

Once he reverts to his Skrull form, his vampire powers will disappear.

If he didn't revert back to his original form intact, he would become the real one-armed Garo.

Locke glanced at the arm hanging on the wall, smiled, and flashed to appear in front of the stone wall, drawing his silver longsword.

Freed from the restraint of the silver longsword, the arm, under the influence of the 'Blood God' power, flew back to Jia Luo's body with a whoosh.

next second.

A streak of light flashed across Garo's body, and then, a pure-blooded Skrull with green skin and pointed ears instantly appeared in Locke's sight.

Locke's eyes lit up, and he immediately appeared in front of Jia Luo, scrutinizing him with a scrutinizing gaze.

硅。

This is the Skrull, a wild monster capable of using perfect-level camouflage skills.

This moment.

Locke's eyes revealed undisguised greed.

Jialuo seemed to sense the greed in Locke's eyes, and his expression changed instantly.

"you--.-·

"Woolen cloth!"

Before Jialu could speak, Locke reached out and grabbed Jialu's throat again, then slowly lifted Jialu off the floor.

Having lost his vampire powers and reverted to being a Skrull, Garo's green face quickly turned bright red.

Seeing the greed in Locke's eyes and the incomparably cold killing intent, Jia Luo panicked completely.

He gripped Locke's right arm tightly with both hands, trying to make Locke let go.

"You—broke your promise."

"Phe."

Locke laughed upon hearing this, looking at Garo, whose fate was in his grasp, and enjoying Garo's helpless struggle in his palm.

"What I just said is that I never lie to people. Are you even human?"

"You—you will be rejected by the Father God, you will be hunted down by us Skrulls until death!"

"That would be perfect!"
