"In the name of Father God Caliburn, you, Locke Underwood, will follow the agreement and not kill me after I transform back into my original form, and you will sign a settlement agreement with me."

"..."

Locke listened to Jia Luo speaking an obscure language, and then listened to the translation and raised his eyebrows.

"It's that simple?"

"Yes."

One-armed Garo glanced at the arm trembling on the stone wall, and then said to Locke: "Caliburn is the father god of our Skrulls, and the god we believe in. If you swear an oath in front of Caliburn, you will be watched by Caliburn's father."

Locke blinked.

"I have a question."

"what?"

“Isn’t your Father God dead?”

"..."

One-armed Jia Luo's face turned red: "Who said our father god is dead?"

Locke glanced at the one-armed Garo and said, "You said it yourself. Your father God died, so the Kree people occupied your planet."

When One-Armed Jia Luo heard this, his eyelids twitched.

"Our Father God is just missing, he is not dead, he will come back."

"hehe."

Locke listened to the explanation of One-Armed Jialuo, smiled twice, and did not react at all.

Missing?

I'm afraid there's not even a trace of the body left.

One-armed Jialuo also saw Locke's thoughts, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes again.

"Well, swear it."

"Wait a minute, I have another question."

"…What do you have?"

One-armed Jialuo's eyebrows were twitching. If he could beat Locke, he would have fought back.

damn it.

I shouldn't have said anything nonsense to him. I should have killed this guy cleanly and efficiently.

At this moment, One-Armed Jialuo felt extremely regretful.

Locke stroked his chin and looked at One-Armed Jia Luo: "How can I be sure that what you said is the same as what you translated."

Although he has no faith in gods.

But the Marvel Universe doesn’t just have gods, it also has curses.

What if what One-Armed Jialuo said was some kind of curse? What if he said it and was beset with misfortune?

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

I bet that after he kills Garro, a second pure-blooded Skrull will appear in front of him soon.

Locke thought to himself.

One-armed Jia Luo heard Locke's question and subconsciously opened his mouth to refute.

but……

He opened his mouth and found that no explanation was of any use for this kind of thing, because once the chain of suspicion was formed, there was no solution.

"...Then what do you think we should do?"

"so."

Locke thought about it and gave up the idea of becoming a gambler. He looked at Jialuo and thought of a good solution.

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

"Ka-ku!"

"I?"

"Os."

"..."

Locke spent ten minutes, going back and forth, over and over again, using various inverted sentences to get Garo in front of him to translate it into the Skrull language.

Although he didn't understand the Skrull language, his memory was always good.

But Jia Luo’s memory must not be very good.

Because this guy can't even be a villain, Jia Luo can use lies to translate the first time or even a dozen times, but by the twentieth time, he will definitely remember the content of his first reaction wrong.

If he lied.

But that didn't happen.

After Locke confirmed again and again that Jia Luo had not translated the oath incorrectly, he finally stopped the verification.

Jia Luo, who was having a headache after Locke's various brain-teasers translations, gasped.

"Now it's OK, you can swear now."

"Wait, I have one last question."

"..."

Tired, destroy it.

Locke looked at Jia Luo, who had lost hope in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said quickly: "Really the last question."

He really wanted Jia Luo to return to his original state.

and so……

He can't just give up.

The most important thing.

Locke really had no idea of planting a talking head in his own wine barrel.

"what?"

"If I swore an oath and I broke it, what would happen to me?"

"..."

When Jia Luo heard Locke's last question, his eyes narrowed and he looked at Locke with an expression of disbelief.

seems to be saying.

Boy, I knew you'd regret this.

Look, the fox's tail is revealed.

Forget it, just destroy it, love it or not...

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to know the customs and habits between our two planets." Locke explained seriously.

Jia Luo, who was about to start, looked at Locke suspiciously.

Locke had a sincere expression and bright eyes as he looked at Jialuo without blinking.

Eyes facing each other.

Jia Luo sneered.

"Any oath sworn in the name of Father Caliburn will be observed by Father Caliburn and will also be bound by the Skrulls."

"No one dares to break this oath."

"Once you break your oath, you will be hated by the Father, and your name of breaking the covenant will even resound throughout the Skrull race."

"After you die, you cannot return to the Father's arms."

"Even, my tribesmen, everyone has the right to kill you. If you kill you, you will be rewarded by the Father and become a super Skrull." "..."

Locke blinked as he listened to Jialuo describing the price of breaking his oath.

"Super Skrull?"

"The life favored by the Father God is the strongest life among our Skrull clan."

"Does Earth have it?"

Locke's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Jia Luo shook his head in silence.

"No."

"what."

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

"……All right."

Hearing this, Locke sighed inwardly.

Forget it.

Anyway, he has the system. After obtaining the Skrulls' abilities, he can just spend his extraordinary points to upgrade himself.

As for the punishment for breaking this oath.

Is this punishment?
It’s simply a reward.

Listen.

After breaking the oath, any Skrull who kills him will be blessed by the Father and have the opportunity to become a Super Skrull.

Tsk tsk.

This is great.

You don't have to go anywhere at home, just wait for the Skrulls to come to you.

This is not called a vow, it's called a wish.

"Row!"

"I swear."

After Locke figured this out, he nodded to Garo without any hesitation. Then, under the latter's gaze, he made the same gesture Garo had just made and began to swear in the Skrull language: "In the name of Father God Caliburn, I, Locke Underwood, will follow the agreement. As long as Garo returns to his original form, I will not kill him, and I will sign a settlement agreement with Garo."

The oath is complete.

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

"Okay, I'm done swearing."

"..."

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

Although he is an alien, he has been in the Federation for so long.

Jia Luo has a very clear understanding of federal politicians.

Politicians will lie with their eyes open.

The sons of politicians are even better than their fathers.

but……

Once again, the image of how Locke would treat him if he didn't do this played through Garro's mind.

The limbs will be scattered all over the world, and Locke will soak the head in a wine barrel.

This kind of scene is worse than death.

He chose to take a gamble.

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

It’s called - gambler, you will never die well!

Jia Luo was silent, staring at Locke.

Locke looked at the silent Jia Luo and frowned.

"I've finished my vows."

"……I know."

Jia Luo came back to his senses and looked at Locke deeply: "I hope you will keep your oath, Locke Underwood, because if you deceive me, then you will only deceive me this time. After this time, you will no longer have the trust of us Skrulls."

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

He is a human being, and naturally he needs to keep his oaths to other people.

But are you Skrulls human?

You are aliens.

There is no human rights at all, so what's the point of talking about keeping promises?

Jia Luo didn't say anything, but looked at his arm hanging on the stone wall: "I need to get my arm back."

Once he turns back into his original Skrull form, his vampire abilities will disappear.

If he doesn't transform back intact, then he will become the real one-armed Jialuo.

Locke turned his head to look at the arm hanging on the wall, smiled, and appeared in front of the stone wall in a flash, drawing out his silver sword.

The arm that was no longer restrained by the silver sword, under the effect of the "Blood God" power, flew back to Jialuo's body with a whoosh.

next second.

A flash of light appeared on Jialuo'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 Jialuo, looking at Jialuo with a scrutinizing gaze.

Wow.

This is the Skrull, a wild monster that can drop a perfect level of camouflage skill.

this moment.

Locke's eyes were filled with undisguised greed.

Jia Luo seemed to sense the greed in Locke's eyes, and his face suddenly changed.

"you……"

"Uh!"

Without waiting for Jialuo to speak, Locke stretched out his arm, grabbed Jialuo's throat again, and then slowly lifted Jialuo up from the ground.

Garo, who lost his vampire abilities and turned back into a Skrull, had a green face that quickly turned red.

Jia Luo looked at the greed in Locke's eyes, as well as the extremely cold murderous intent, and was completely panicked.

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

"You...didn't keep your promise."

"Bah."

Hearing this, Locke laughed happily. He looked at Jialuo, whose fate was being pinched by the throat by him, and admired Jialuo who was struggling weakly in his palm.

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

"You...will be rejected by the Father God. We, the Skrulls, will hunt you down until you die!"

"That couldn't be better!"

"..."
