The Ice Worm King was silent.
It was like an insect that didn't understand human language.
Dean wasn't in a hurry. He just quietly looked at it. His golden pupils could see the internal structure of the Ice Worm King's body. It was white and flawless. It was more beautiful than snow. It was hard to imagine that such a pure and clean body structure would be such an ugly insect. Perhaps it was beautiful, but he couldn't appreciate it.
There was only a sticky sound in the silent hall. The surrounding Ice Worms that were cut into pieces crawled and slowly gathered. One or two of them had recovered most of their bodies and were crawling towards Dean.
"Are you trying to stall for time?" Dean opened his mouth.
The Ice Worm King seemed to wake up suddenly, "Ah? No, no, I'll let them retreat to the side so that they won't die in vain. " After that, the Ice Worms that were crawling towards Dean suddenly stopped. They looked up at the Ice Worm King on the giant black tree. Then they turned their heads and slowly crawled to the dark corner at the edge of the hall.
Dean glanced at them but didn't say anything. The confidence in his heart made him feel that these Ice Worms weren't a threat. Even if all of their bodies were healed, he could still cut them again. It would be effortless.
"Aragami …" The Ice Worm King sighed. It pulled Dean's thoughts back to the Ice Worm King, "They are also extraterrestrial creatures. They are the creatures that I mentioned before in the star region that released unknown life signals. They have also found the earth. However, they are different from us. Their planet is lacking in resources and they are plundering everywhere. They are bloodthirsty and brutal by nature. Moreover, they need to constantly devour other living creatures in order to maintain their own lives. You call them 'Aragami'. Hehe, this name was originally given by our race. However, it only has one word, 'Aragami'! "
"The symbolic meaning of this name is very simple. Wherever the Aragami passes, there is only barren land! No life can escape from their hands. They won't even let an ant go! "
"However, slowly, they were worshiped as' Gods' by you. Aragami, haha …"
There was a bit of bitterness in the Ice Worm King's voice.
Dean was startled. He didn't expect that the situation would turn like this. So, it wasn't lying before? Were they really just passing by the earth? But how could they explain that they did not notice Earth in advance?
His heart was full of doubts, and he could not confirm whether it was true or not. After all, the Ice Insect King said that the Aragami were bloodthirsty and cruel, and that they devoured other creatures. It reminded him of the Aragami's flesh that he had seen before, and the situation after he ate the Aragami's flesh. Indeed, the Aragami gene had a strong devouring ability. He felt that the reason why his body could absorb the power of other magic marks was most likely because of the Aragami gene.
However, under Crimson Moon's experiments, the berserk nature of this Aragami gene had been neutralized, so it did not pose much of a threat to him. However, he still did not dare to remove the uranium ring. He needed further experiments to confirm it.
"So, the war with the humans were all Aragami?" Dean asked deliberately.
The Ice Worm King said, "Not all of them. Back then, the main enemy of you humans was us. These Aragami were just hiding in the dark, intensifying the conflict between us and the humans. Although they were cruel and bloodthirsty, their IQ was very high, and they were extremely cunning. They instigated us to start a war with you humans, and then they reaped the benefits. Unfortunately, no one saw this at that time. Until the end when they showed up, everything was revealed, but it was too late. At that time, the humans were already ready to perish together with us, and they launched the strongest world-destroying plan …"
Dean was stunned. First, he did not expect it to admit that it was the enemy of the humans. Second, he was suddenly not sure whether what it said was true or false.
Dean's mind stopped for a moment, and he suddenly reacted. He was secretly shocked. No matter if what the Ice Worm King said was true or false, it could already shake his mind. This was not something that could be moved by a simple "honesty".
"So, you and our ancestors were fooled. Then why did the giant wall and the empire appear in the end, and why do we call them 'Aragami'?" Dean asked thoughtfully.
The Ice Worm King was silent for a moment, and slowly said, "I don't know why the giant wall appeared. At that time, the humans launched the world-destroying plan, and we had to temporarily avoid it. I have been here for a very long time, and I have never left, and I can't leave. The situation outside that I know is from the human explorers who came here one after another, and I caught them. I searched the memory fragments. I only know the current appearance of the world, but I don't know the history in the middle. But my guess is that Aragami used despicable means to cover up its crimes, and instead threw all the crimes to our clan. Then, in the name of helping the humans, they ruled the humans, but in fact, they were just raising humans. "
"After all, their clan likes to kill and devour, but if all the creatures are plundered, they will also perish. So raising humans is the best way. You humans have excellent reproductive ability, and if you control the killing, you can use it for many years …"
Dean frowned, was it really like this? He couldn't distinguish it. The Ice Worm King's words were methodical, and he couldn't find fault with it. The only thing he could guess and confirm was that it should be hiding some other things. But the main thing that it said had no loopholes, and the possibility was extremely high. Even if it didn't say it, Dean may speculate like this.
"Raising, killing …" Dean thought of the towering giant wall, and his heart suddenly burst into a burst of cold. This giant wall that was thousands of meters high was obviously not the work of humans. Did they build such a giant wall just to shelter humans?
He suddenly thought of the pigs, dogs, cows and sheep raised by humans, and his face couldn't help but slightly change. Humans used guardrails to raise pigs and sheep, but wasn't it to protect them? They were worried that they would run outside and be caught and slaughtered by others? But if they continued to stay in the guardrails, sooner or later they would be slaughtered by the masters who 'sheltered' them!
Was the ultimate fate of the residents inside the giant wall like this?
Dean thought about it, and felt that it was not right. He had been the master of the Sylvia Wall for many years, but he had never heard of unknown forces or characters that captured or slaughtered a large number of people. Occasionally, there would be large-scale casualties because of the improper disposal of the bodies of the refugees, and the piling up of the corpses of rats in the streets, which caused plague and other disasters.
"If it is hidden … No, I have read the secret files, and they are the most confidential things inside the giant wall. It is impossible that there is no record in the files, unless the master of the wall and the Aragami are from the same nest." Dean frowned, and suddenly he thought that he had overlooked one thing, "The Aragami are dead, so they died after building the giant wall, so they didn't have the time to carry out the plan?"
But soon this idea was overturned by him.
He felt that the Aragami shouldn't be extinct from this world.
After all, as the last big winner, the Aragami, how could they be extinct?
If the Aragami existed, and raising humans was their purpose, then the event of human being being slaughtered would inevitably be recorded. Don't ignore some of the great people who survived the dogma and justice, and their beliefs were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Whether it was a great person or a sinner, when they reached a certain height, the firm belief they had to pay was the same.
Dean raised the doubts in his heart to the ice worm king to see its reaction and answer.
"I don't know, maybe it happened, but you don't know, after all they did it, they wouldn't be so blatant and cause panic. Humans can unscrupulously pick a lamb from the flock and slaughter it. They don't care about the thoughts of other sheep, because humans think that these sheep have no intelligence, but you humans obviously know the fear of intelligent life, so they won't do that." The ice worm king thought for a moment and said: "It is also possible that they said that they picked from different giant wall, so they wouldn't gather in one giant wall to harvest."
Wouldn't harvest in one giant wall? Dean's eyes flashed, was it because Sylvia was too weak, so such activities were only carried out in the empire?
After thinking for a moment, he felt that he couldn't distinguish the truth from the lies, so he temporarily put down the matter. He couldn't continue to be led by the nose by the ice worm king in front of him: "So, I can also inquire about the things that you know. In that case, it seems that you have no value."
The ice worm king didn't seem to expect that Dean would suddenly turn against him, but soon it anxiously said: "Everything I said to you is true, I didn't hide anything from you, but I really don't know about other things. How about this, I tell you the way to continue to become stronger, and give you my children, they will unconditionally accept you."
Dean slightly sneered: "Even if they resist, do they have the ability?"
"This …" The ice worm king was a little disappointed: "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. You and your children belong to me." Dean's eyes flashed, and the corner of his mouth revealed a smile: "You seem to have forgotten that I'm the abyss. The way for a human to become the abyss is to eat your children to further strengthen their physique. But it's not enough to rely on your children, if I can eat you, I should be able to reach the peak of the human race."
The ice worm king angrily said: "You, you said that you won't hurt me!"
"How come I don't remember?" Dean sneered: "You can resist or obey, it's up to you. But it's better to persuade you to be obedient, so that you won't suffer. If you perform well, I may leave one for your children, and it won't be considered as exterminating you."
The ice worm king was so angry that he screamed. For a time, the languages of different countries and different races burst out.
Dean quietly listened to the scene, and even had some amazement and appreciation. He had never heard the scene of multi-language cursing. Moreover, he had never seen the acting skills of an insect that could soar to such a high level. Unfortunately, the old era was broken, and there was no way to receive the Oscar.
After cursing for a few minutes, the ice worm king gradually managed his own language system, and angrily said to Dean in Chinese: "You bastard, you humans are despicable, shameless, greedy, selfish race. You deserve to be imprisoned by Huang, and you deserve to recognize the thief as your father!"
"It's recognizing the thief as God." Dean corrected. This also implied that he believed what it said earlier.
The ice worm king angrily scolded: "Despicable, shameless!"
"Chinese is broad and profound, and it's the highest language on our side, but you have only learned a few curse words, it's really …" Dean shook his head, indicating that the child could not be taught.
The ice worm king was stunned. Apparently, he found that compared with the purebred earthlings, he was a few streets behind in terms of cursing.
"You have to keep your word this time!" The ice worm king seemed to be gnashing his teeth as he said.
"Of course, I don't need your child when I reach the bottleneck anyway." Dean said as if it was a matter of course.
The ice worm king was silent for a long time, and finally agreed.
Dean was also relieved. He felt that he should also get an Oscar. Oh no, one might not be enough, he should get a dozen.
"By the way, why was the door of the spaceship closed when I came in? It didn't seem like this the last time I came." Dean thought of the previous strange opening of the door, and immediately asked.
The Extreme Ice Insect King said weakly, "The spaceship has recovered some of its energy, so I asked my child to close it. I wanted to rest and recuperate in peace, but who knew …" At this point, it seemed to have suddenly realized something. Two black eyeballs protruded out of its snow-white fat body. They were the size of soybeans and were very hidden. "You, how did you open the door?"
"It opened by itself." Dean frowned: "Tell me honestly, is there anything else here?"
The ice worm king seemed to be jumping, and its voice suddenly increased by octave: "The door opened by itself? How is it possible! My children are here, and without my permission, they can't open the door! "
Dean looked at it, and suddenly wasn't sure whether it was acting this time, but it seemed to be a bit real. Was it really not opened by it? Or, was there something hidden here that it didn't know about?
If it was, then that thing opened the door and used him to come over … Thinking of this, Dean's whole body hair stood up, and he vigilantly looked at the darkness around him: "The door opened by itself. If you are hiding, then don't blame me for being angry. If you are not hiding, then it is estimated that … there is something you don't know about here! Moreover, it can control this spaceship! "
The ice worm king wanted to say that Dean had just turned hostile, so what was so strange about it? However, Dean's words made it nervous all of a sudden. Its black eyeballs quickly turned, and it looked around. It knew that Dean didn't seem to be lying, and there was no reason for him to deliberately say so. If the door really opened by itself … then it was really f * cking hell!
In the quiet and dark hall, Dean could only hear the sound of his own breathing. He tried to expand his perception to the extreme, and wanted to sense the surroundings, but many passages couldn't be explored, and the range of perception was limited.
Within his perception range, there was nothing.
