Chapter 569: Chapter 419 The Strongest Cuteness_1 Chapter 569: Chapter 419 The Strongest Cuteness_1 The Star Union was busy preparing to join the Divine Assembly, which was a complex matter that couldn't be completed in just a day or two, and Duanmu Huai was not idle either.
In fact, to Duanmu Huai, the Batarei People, a lower-tier alien species, were even less worthy of his attention than a pebble on the road side. However, the opponent he was about to face was what people would call his first formidable adversary in this world.
The reason was simple: this war could not be won by brute force.
It was to be fought on a psychological level…… Fortunately, he had been well prepared for this.
“Hello, Big Brother, did you call for Karen for something?”
Watching the cheerful Horse Maiden bouncing into his room, a faint smile crept onto Duanmu Huai's face. But he soon put on a serious expression and looked at her earnestly.
“Karen.”
“Huh? What is it, Big Brother?”
“I remember you said you chose to follow me because you wanted the whole world to recognize your cuteness, right?”
“Yes.”
Karen nodded, and Duanmu Huai looked at her curiously.
“Can you tell me why you think like that?”
“Of course, then…let's start from when Karen was born!”
In response to Duanmu Huai's question, Karen chuckled and answered.
“………”
Why don't you just start from the creation of the world by Pangu……
Duanmu Huai resisted the urge to retort, and turned his attention to Karen, who had started her storytelling.
“Big Brother, did you know? Babies often laugh due to reflex, and Karen was the same when she was born, always with a smile on her face. So, Karen's family would also laugh happily and say that Karen is very cute, and that seeing Karen's smiling face makes them happy. Karen's cuteness could bring happiness to everybody——That's what my family told me.”
“Hmm……”
Listening to Karen's words, Duanmu Huai nodded in agreement. Indeed, Karen's smile possessed a special kind of charm that made people feel relaxed and cheerful just by looking at her. This might be the reason why she had the trait of Superior Charm.
“So……Karen decided to become the embodiment of 'cute'……It was when I was three years old, I guess.”
“………”
This child is truly extraordinary, in every way.
“For this purpose, Karen conducted various studies on 'cuteness,' and then there appeared girls who admired Karen……they said that after seeing the cute Karen, they also gained the courage to change themselves. They even said I was their benefactor! At that time, Karen was really happy. It was then that Karen realized that 'Cute Karen' could bring happiness not only to my family but to everyone else. Isn't it a win-win situation if I feel happy being praised as 'cute', and everyone else feels happier due to 'Cute Karen'?”
As she spoke, Karen looked yearning.
“So, I want to spread this cycle of happiness as widely as possible, ideally throughout the universe! I want the whole world to be fascinated by Karen!”
“Hmm………”
Hearing Karen's words, Duanmu Huai fell into deep thought. While some of her words might be exaggerated, he could tell that Karen was indeed sincere.
That's good enough.
“Karen.”
At this point, Duanmu Huai lifted his head again, looking at the petite and adorable Horse Maiden before him.
“Next, I need your power. Like you said, I want you to spread your cuteness out into the universe, to every corner, to leave everyone fascinated by you……But, you will have competition, and it's from an entire race. How about it, are you confident?”
“A race???”
On hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Karen looked somewhat surprised.
“What does that mean?”
“Your competition is them.”
As Duanmu Huai spoke, he showed Karen a picture. In it, she saw a woman with blue skin and octopus-like tentacles on her head, standing there with a smile. Looking at the woman, Karen couldn't help but frown.
“Hey? Is it her? She's not cute at all.”
“No, it's them.”
Duanmu Huai tapped the screen and continued to explain to Karen.
“This is an Ashali. They are one of the Three Major Races of the Divine Fort, like the Horse Maidens, this race only has females. As for their appearance…as you said, it's neither cute nor beautiful. That's why this fight will be difficult.”
Karen tilted her head in confusion, not understanding Duanmu Huai's words at all. Duanmu Huai then coughed and continued.
“As I said before, the Ashali People are basically single-sexed, or at least they all appear to be female. So, their method of reproduction is very unusual. They will find males from other species and then engage in a thing called a 'Soul Blending.' Simply put, it involves becoming one with the other party's consciousness to reproduce.”
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai's expression became serious.
“Because of this, the Ashali People have a very special ability……they can make all males of any species feel attracted to them, be they humanoid species or those that look entirely different from humans. Everyone will feel attracted to them and develop positive feelings towards them. Do you understand now?”
“Huh?!”
Upon hearing this, Zhenji Ling finally understood what Duanmu Huai meant, and was greatly surprised.
“Is that even possible? So you're saying, even a crocodile or a monkey would find these Ashali People attractive?”
“Rather than a skill, it's more like a special ability. It's because of this, that the Ashali People could become one of the three major permanent races in the Divine Assembly, relying on their charm.”
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly. Actually, he wanted to wipe out all the Ashali People — it's just not the right time yet…
When the time comes, he wouldn't need to lift a finger… Hmm…
From the perspective of the Tribunal, this kind of race that seduces humans through its own ability is the most dangerous alien species. It should be purified thoroughly…
But for now… the answer is to fight magic with magic.
Though the special parahuman ability of the Ashali People is impressive, Zhenji Ling's Superior Charm can't be underestimated.
Let's see who's stronger.
“What do you think? Do you have confidence?”
Duanmu Huai stared at Zhenji Ling and asked. He had great confidence in her charm. You should know, in the game, the full charm character that Duanmu Huai created had activated the idol series mission multiple times. That mission required the player to sing and dance, which Duanmu Huai didn't enjoy, even though he had created a girl character.
Moreover, punching you in the chest wasn't as satisfying as hitting your head with a small hammer.
The reason why Duanmu Huai let Zhenji Ling take on this, was to test whether the Superior Charm was really as powerful as it seemed. If Zhenji Ling could confront the entire Ashali Tribe using her own power, then she would be a trump card against Obsessive Sin in the future.
The only concern is, if Zhenji Ling becomes popular, the future orientation of humans may… Hmm…
But to confront the Evil God and Aliens, these sacrifices are worth it.
There's no sacrifice too unbearable!
Therefore, even if it's XP, it can be sacrificed and distorted!
To fight against Evil God, if it requires twisting a little XP, then so be it.
Duanmu Huai silently thumbed up for the future sacrifices of mankind, then gazed at Zhenji Ling.
“What do you think? Do you have confidence?”
“Hmm…”
Hearing this, Zhenji Ling also started thinking, but quickly, she grinned again, full of confidence, she looked at Duanmu Huai.
“No problem, big brother! This is the stage Karen wants! Karen promises, Karen definitely won't lose to those big sisters!”
“Good, then we should first establish a foothold, starting with the Star Union!”
As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? Turning Star Alliance Humans into Horse Maiden lovers is better than becoming bootlickers for those blue-skinned harlots of Ashali People.
Duanmu Huai was a man of action, and he immediately contacted Li Longcheng and made his request.
At first, when Li Longcheng received Duanmu Huai's call, he thought that something major had happened, but…
“Uh… Sir Judge, you mean… you want an idol to debut in our Star Union?”
Needless to say, when hearing Duanmu Huai's request, Li Longcheng was dumbfounded.
“Yes, I mean Zhenji Ling, who was negotiating with us that day. You should remember her.”
“Of course, I remember.”
Mentioning this name, Li Longcheng couldn't help but smile. He, of course, remembered that lovely girl; she definitely had a unique charm that made her very adorable. But like people his age, he wouldn't fantasize about her; after all, Zhenji Ling reminded them of their daughter or granddaughter, whom they would want to protect above all else.
“She wants to be an idol? Well… That should be possible… I can arrange that…”
Unfortunately, Li Longcheng is currently the President of the Star Union, and has no understanding of the entertainment industry. But he doesn't mind as the Star Union government has the power to support a small idol without much cost.
“No need for that, if you get the government involved, we may attract unnecessary trouble. So I only need you to provide a platform.”
“Alright, I'll find someone to arrange it for you.”
Everyone has their area of expertise. Li Longcheng was good at warfare and politics, but handling idols was beyond his ability. Thankfully, being the President, he could easily find the right person to handle this.
Soon enough, a woman nervously appeared before Li Longcheng.
“You are in charge?”
Seeing the woman in front of him, Li Longcheng was very calm. He didn't know who this woman was, just that he had ordered to find someone capable of managing the entertainment industry and his subordinates had recommended her. Now she was nervous, after all, Li Longcheng was the President of the Star Union, and her role, though considerable in the entertainment industry, made the conversation with someone of his stature intimidating.
“Yes, Mr. President, according to your request, I have prepared several plans… ”
The woman tried to explain as she spoke but was interrupted by Li Longcheng.
“Okay, I don't understand these things. You don't need to explain to me. I'll give you a contact. You can get in touch with them directly… Oh, never mind…”
Although Li Longcheng wanted to say a few more things, he thought he might inadvertently reveal more than necessary. So he didn't say anything more and let the woman do her job.
After all, as the President of the Star Union, Li Longcheng had too many affairs to manage.
