Clauder was no leader material, or he wouldn’t have just handed over two thousand of his men’s lives.
Clauder only got to be the boss of the Milky Way Galaxy thanks to his Stalwart Heart.
This gift was great in increasing his defense. Clauder once fought against Dipper Galaxy’s boss and wasn’t even scratched.
That was what made him Milky Way Galaxy’s boss.
But take that away and he’d be nothing.
Case and point, Chang’e kicked his brains away, and the man shivered in fear.
“Spare me, lord!”
Clauder kowtowed.
The thousand guards looked on dumbfounded.
No one wished to see their boss shaking in his boots.
Li Mo asked, “Where are my friends?”
Clauder snapped behind him, “You, bring out sir’s friends!”
Du Fei and co. soon came.
They looked exhausted but otherwise fine. It was all due to their strength.
With how weak they were, even if Clauder wanted to hand them over to Bestial Galaxy, they wouldn’t take them.
Only strong beings could provide with substantial amount of soul power. Killing a Milky Way Guard was a hundred times better than killing Du Fei.
“Do you see, sir? Your friends are alright. Please spare me!”
Clauder never got up from the floor.
Du Fei kicked him in anger, “How in the hell did a sniveling coward like you become our boss?”
“Ow~”
Du Fei jumped on one foot and hugged the other. Chang’e did use a simple kick to blow Clauder’s mind, but that was all because she was a hero. Clauder’s defense was so high not even Li Mo’s Venom Kiss could deal much damage.
“Spare me! Let me go and I’ll make you Milky Way Galaxy’s boss!”
Clauder had not one single bone in his back.
Li Mo walked to Clauder and the next second he gained the Milky Way Galaxy Boss title above his head.
Clauder handed it over just like that.
“Clauder, tell me, do you have a Gate you can use to get us out?”
Clauder’s eyes darted around.
“Say it!” Du Fei raised his head and Clauder jerked in fear, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk. No, sir…”
“No!?” The thousand guards cried out.
Half the reason they listened to Clauder was because they were led to believe he had a Gate they could use to leave this world.
A guard shouted, “Haven’t you always been telling us you have such a Gate? And in so many years that have passed, I know of at least a hundred people that left this world. If they hadn’t used a Gate to leave, then where are they?”
“Yeah, where did they go?” The guards shouted.
Clauder said, “They’re… all dead. But I didn’t kill them, it was the other galaxies. They wanted to gather soul power…”
“I wasn’t going to lie to you, but it’s a secret every galaxy protects. If everyone knew, it will be chaos…”
“Ah~, bastard!”
“Why have we served you all these years for?”
“You used us Clauder!”
“You should just die!”
The guards were incensed as they attacked him.
But their attacks did nothing. Clauder just laid there as he shrugged the blows.
The guards were at it for a dozen minutes, and Clauder was still unscathed.
“Stop, you can’t hurt him.”
Li Mo walked to Clauder and used Poison.
Four strikes later, Venom Kiss erupted and a bit of Clauder’s health bar dropped.
Not much, but Clauder’s face fell. He knew what that meant.
“Spare me, lord!” Clauder banged his head on the pavement.
“From now on, you will be my guard!”
“Just say the word, sir!”
On this day, Li Mo took down Clauder and became the boss of Milky Way Galaxy, just like that.
The men outside the city were brought in and Du Fei with Li Mo became the leaders of East Street. While Clauder and his thousand guards were prisoners.
Li Mo did nothing to the guards, only disbanded them. Some left, some stayed.
It ended up with half of the guards remaining.
Clauder had no backbone, but he was the ex-boss of Milky Way Galaxy. No one could replace his knowledge.
What Li Mo got from him unraveled many of his doubts.
Like how he came here a thousand years ago and even then the five top galaxies were the same as today after all this time.
That the Bestial Galaxy’s heroes were the two black Golden Crows, Barren Galaxy’s heroes were Undying Shadow and Destroyer. Mara’s was Black Insect King and Heavenly King’s was Outstanding Archfiend.
Adding to them Dipper’s Archfiend Mage, he got all he needed from Clauder.
“Sir, now that Milky Way Galaxy has a hero as well, the five top galaxies will shuffle. We will become the sixth!”
Clauder was excited, coming up with plans before Li Mo.
The mind of a Stoneman wasn’t exactly bright and calling Clauder a bonehead was entirely appropriate.
At least with his dim wits, he had no fear of being plotted against.
“Not interested.” Li Mo shot Clauder down.
What was of greatest import was to find a Gate and leave.
It was possible to become the 6th top galaxy, but Li Mo still remembered how the five top galaxies weren’t the only ones with heroes. Two more were unaccounted for.
“Dark Golden Crow, Undying Shadow, Destroyer, Black Insect King, Outstanding Archfiend, Archfiend Mage, these unfamiliar and strange names feel oddly reminiscing!”
Li Mo glanced at Chang’e with a sigh.
