Kleinus poured all his strength into the tentacle, but the pure white chains that bound it remained motionless.
At that moment, Kleiners realized. The person in front of him was not bluffing, he only let himself in after he was fully prepared.
what does that mean
In this game, Kleiners needs to select a suitable person to control after the trial, use that person's body to leave the secret place under the sea, go outside to collect blood souls to complete the resurrection, and lay out a bigger plan.
Lord Lingwu needs to solve the problem of soul wear and tear. She has a way to kill Klenas's soul. Although it is not clear whether it will be useful or not, judging from the previous performance, Lide's plan revolves around this unfolded.
What Lord Lingwu didn't expect was that Kleiners had already seen through the battle plan that was secretly conveyed by the little ghost. This is all Kleiners' territory, and it's not safe to send messages even through the little ghost. In fact, no matter how he tried to conceal it, Lied's failure to kill the Lord of the Spirit Martial Arts was the biggest anomaly. This in itself showed that he pinned his hope of killing Klenas on the Lord of the Spirit Martial Arts.
But what Kleiners didn't expect was that it clearly saw everything, and at the critical moment it chose to give up seizing the Spirit Martial Lord and pick Lid who was easier to deal with, but it still fell into a new trap.
This is also a pit, a pit buried deeper.
This means that Lide's language and micro-expressions were actually shown to it deliberately from a long time ago; this also means that no matter whether Kleinus chose to seize Shelid or the Lord of Lingwu at that time, it was actually under Lide's control. Within control, this man dug holes on both roads, but one was more obvious and the other was less obvious.
Lid straightened his hair that was blown by the wind, stretched his waist, and said in a very ordinary tone:
"Actually, before you crashed in, you must have thought about the possibility of me staying behind. But this is the limitation of smart people. When they judge that the possibility is lower than a certain value, they will automatically ignore it. Otherwise, many things in the world are possible after careful consideration, all of which are taken into consideration, and all plans are exhausted. It is not unreasonable for the scholar to rebel for three years."
Klenas stared at Lied, with anger in his eyes at first, but soon calmed down.
It can control its emotions with reason, which is one of the places where it thinks it is nobler than humans.
Klenas stared at Lide, thinking about the reason why Lide didn't kill it in the first place, but told it these things.
At the same time, many questions came to mind, and it wanted to ask clearly.
The head of the huge octopus rose and fell, and the ethereal voice echoed again:
"Why... do you want to 'keep one more hand'?"
Without knowing the strength of Klenas, it seems most appropriate to arrange the plan to kill him with the power of the Spirit Martial Lord. After all, if Kleiners really chooses to seize the Lord of the Spiritual Martial Arts, Lide's follow-up arrangements will become useless. Looking at it now, many of the things he did seem to be not all aimed at Kleiners.
Lied raised his head and replied with a smile:
"Because it's unstable. According to normal logic, Lord Lingwu will kill your soul with her invincible method that she learned from somewhere, but I don't know if you have any hidden cards, nor do I know her Will my power expand too much after killing you... Did I say it from the beginning? I came here with the purpose of stopping her. What's more, I don't like seeing my life in other people's hands superior."
The giant octopus was silent for a while, then asked again:
"In this case, why don't you kill her and come to see me yourself?"
Lied spread his hands and said calmly:
"It's too deliberate, isn't it? That woman has clearly claimed that there is a way to get rid of you, but I killed her and came here alone. Doesn't it mean to declare to you 'I have the confidence to get rid of you alone'? I want to play What you know is the human beings in your cognition, so this is the best. You want to deal with that woman, but you also want to use her, go around and get entangled. This kind of human beings are in line with those who can A human being in control. That's why you won't hesitate to seize me, because from the beginning to the end, you feel that this situation is still under your control. If I'm the only one here, you will probably directly doubt' This guy must have some backhands', after all, you are very smart."
Kleiners didn't speak, the word "smart" became somewhat ironic on such occasions.
Lide didn't care what it was thinking, and his tone was a little more tender and nostalgic:
"As for me, I had a very cute younger sister in my last life. She was an out-and-out fool in studies, but she had a better understanding of people's hearts than anyone else. This was innate, and I couldn't envy her, but I also used to I asked her for some tips... For example, she said that when dealing with a smart person, you must not only leave him with one path, but let him have a choice, and even induce him to take one of the paths quietly, and wait until he sees it. choose another one."
"But in fact, both roads are dead ends. The reason why they are set as two roads is just to let him die more decently, so that he won't get angry and give up his pick. After all, you think, if you really get suspicious at that time, give up. If Duoshe chooses to kill people directly, there is nothing I can do, right?"
Appreciation flashed across Kleiners' eyes, but there was a bit of remorse and unwillingness in his sigh.
It no longer struggled with this question, and calmly asked Lied:
"Are you the goddess of reincarnation?"
Lid thought for a while and replied:
"Accept her love, but I don't have a good impression of the old gods either."
Appreciation flashed across Kleiners' eyes, and he was about to speak, but Lied interrupted what he wanted to say first:
"I know what you want to say, Kleinus. Maybe you think that we don't like the old gods, so the enemy of an enemy is a friend, right?"
Lied looked at Klenas and said gently:
"No, Mr. Kleiners. Not only do I hate the old gods, I also hate you. Today the old gods ride on our heads, and tomorrow it will be Kungu. It may be different for you, but for me It is the same. You may have different ideas, and you will lead human beings in different directions. You may feel that under your management, everyone can gain more peace and happiness. But what is the point? From my perspective , we have finally sent away a father and welcomed a new father."
Klenas stared at Lid, and said in a bad tone:
"Human desires have been ignited, and if left unchecked, they will grow wildly. Your statement is too arrogant, disorder will bring eternal disaster."
Lied nodded, but he didn't intend to retract his point of view. Instead, he reached into the inner pocket of his jacket and calmly took out a pitch-black pistol. There are bronzing text printed on it, which is obviously a custom-made style, but the text on it is not from this world, even Kleiners can't read it.
It doesn't even know what the little thing is.
Lid played with the gun in his hand, and said to Kleiners:
"It is orderly. But what is this order and where is the future of human beings? We don't need others to teach us. Change should be bottom-up. In this process, human beings will be chaotic, struggling, and confused. But they will also explore their own way of life. This process may be difficult, but it is necessary. Do you like the leisurely state before? I like it too. But if everyone lives like that, Human beings lose the possibility of continuing to explore. Fishing is very happy, but you can’t fish every moment.”
Kleiners was silent. Not because it agrees with Lied's point of view, but because it knows that it can't convince him.
There is a fundamental conflict between the two people's ideas. Kleiners regards human beings and even the whole world as his back garden, but Lid prefers that human beings can grow wantonly like weeds than those well-behaved flowers.
Lied loaded the bullet, then raised his hand, aiming the gun at Kleiners' huge body.
Kleiners said in a flat tone:
"You should save my life. I can help you fight the old gods."
Lied laughed, and answered the proposal with what Kleinus had said to him and Lord Lingwu:
"There are too many variables, Kleiners. What I need is not your superficial obedience, or the exchange of benefits to bind you. I don't need those things. I also want to fish happily from time to time, thinking Relax completely every now and then, if there is a tentacle monster hiding in the dark and eating my body, I will sleep with one hand free to cover my butt, don’t you think so?”
Kleiners froze for a moment, looking at Lied's smiling face, it also relaxed a little for some reason.
It seems to have returned to the carefree and unencumbered time when it lived on the bottom of the sea.
The huge round pupils narrowed slowly, and Kleiner replied frankly:
"Yeah. If I win, I won't let you live, which is fair."
Lid nodded with a smile, expressing his happiness at its understanding, and then pulled the trigger with a smile on his face.
With three gunshots, the three unique hearts of the octopus all exploded, and the world seemed to be quiet for a moment.
The soul power of that astronomical number slowly dissipated and merged into this pure white world. Kleiners could no longer maintain the shape of his soul, but the power of the soulless soul couldn't disappear out of thin air, so it was absorbed by Lid's side. Before the giant octopus crumbled completely, Lid heard its last sound:
"Don't forget what you said... put the old gods..."
Kleiners didn't finish speaking, and turned into a puff of black mist, slowly dissipating.
Lide put down the gun in his hand, his expression neither sad nor happy.
The blue smoke from the muzzle curled up, and Lid sat back on the Iron Throne, and said with a bit of complaint:
"Really... I'm not interested in tentacle play."
He looked at his right hand. In this spiritual world, there was a black spell mark with tentacles as the core on the back of his right hand. Klenas did disappear, but before dying, it dispersed its soul power into this space, and then materialized the soul—that is, the secret method of summoning those tentacles was passed on to Lid.
As for the reason, it is actually not difficult to guess, just because Lide's remarks just now revealed the idea of being an enemy of the old god.
And it hated the old gods to the end.
