"Klenus... my lord?"
Kronos' voice was full of bitterness, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Sooner or later, what is owed to others must be paid back. This is a universal truth. Their lives were given by Kleinus, and one day Kleinus wants to take them back, which is a matter of course. Even Kleinus left the prophecy that "I lend you my strength, and you will return it all when necessary", the giants of all ages actually lived in a vague panic. middle.
However, knowing the truth that "the giant race will disappear on this continent one day" is completely different from having the courage to face it when the situation comes to an end. Knowing that their power comes from Kleinus, and knowing that Kleinus will take their own life one day, when that day comes, they will still try every means to evade and try all kinds of things. struggle.
Any creature that has evolved to a certain level has a natural fear of death.
Kronos stared at the tentacles extending behind Lid. There is no doubt that it is the power of Kleiners, a power that is of the same origin as the power in their bodies, but higher. In terms of strength alone, it is not fatal, but if it is really Kleinus standing in front of them, at this distance, as long as he moves his finger, the hearts of all the giants present will explode directly, and the blood souls will quickly converge. into the boy's body.
The question in Kronos' eyes is just why the great being who created them called themselves human beings and talked about cooperation with them.
The twelve high giants all lowered their eyebrows, and the army of the low giants knelt on their knees, but Lide, who was in the center of the circle, laughed.
He shook the blood soul crystal in his hand, and said to Kronos:
"You see, that's why you're still alive."
Lied looked into Kronos' eyes and said calmly:
"Klenas was killed by me, I snatched it from it - don't be surprised, and don't question it. After all, as long as you lower your heads and think about it, you will find that there is no other possibility other than this fact Sex. Raise your head up, those in the back don’t have to kneel anymore, it’s cold on the ground.”
Kronos' eyes were complicated, but he still raised his head as Lid said, and looked at the boy again.
Lied received the soul tentacles behind him, looked around the high giants present, and said:
"I killed Klenas, not for you, just because it was in my way. I cooperated with you, not to save you, just because I really need the low giants to work for me. I gave you freedom The way you chose, the death of Kleiner is equivalent to removing the sharp sword hanging above your heads. If you entrust this blood soul to you, you will have the foundation to fight against other races. You can create a new race as easily as Si, but with your level, it should be possible to turn this thing into a group of low-level giants with no intelligence at all."
Kronos stared at the blood soul crystal in Lied's hand.
Giant No. 1 sat back in silence.
Several high giant brothers and sisters carefully exchanged glances...
Everything that happened in front of them was too unbelievable for them. Klenas used to be the nightmare of each of them, but now the boy in front of him came to tell them that the great creature sleeping in the bottom of the sea was dead, and the things they had been worrying about for a long time disappeared. Who would believe and accept it in the first place? Woolen cloth
Finally, Kronos spoke up and said:
"Just now, I'm afraid we were rude. As you said, the facts are in front of us... we can't believe it. Although it's incredible... In this case, no matter what the result of this cooperation is, you are always kind to our giant race. It’s just that one yard is one yard, and kindness cannot be a means of blackmailing us.”
Kronos stood up, and his tone was much lighter than before, but his voice was still loud, and everyone present could hear clearly:
"Letting the low giants assist you in your construction is not something that cannot be discussed. But the problem is that our control over the low giants comes from blood. I will hand over a team of low giants to you. You can't order them Yes. Even if I let them obey your orders, they may lose control due to various reasons, unless you can maintain the state just now... But your body may not be able to bear it. The only solution is to let the higher The giants go with them to the lands of men."
Kronos stared at Lid and asked:
"At that time, in what capacity will you treat my brothers and sisters?"
After asking these words, every high giant pricked up their ears, and the No. 1 giant clenched its fists. As Lid said, although they are very reluctant to let the lower giants work for humans, they can reluctantly accept it in this extraordinary period. But the tall giants are different, they will not obey humans, the glory in their bones does not allow them to do so.
"... [friend]."
Without thinking too long, Lied gave his own answer:
"It will hurt feelings to discuss who is higher and who is lower. It is impossible for you to be subservient to others, and it is impossible for us to find a few big Buddhas to come back to worship. You are the core blood of the giant race, and you have low blood that is useful to us." Waiting for giant resources, for example, is like a rich and powerful contractor, and we will treat them well according to the situation and reason."
Although he didn't know what the contractor Lied was talking about, Kronos was quite satisfied with this answer.
Letting them as high giants be friends with humans is actually disrespectful to them. But when Lid showed the tentacles behind him, the problem disappeared by itself. The human beings who could kill Klenas are beyond their comprehension, they can only think that there are other upper three races standing behind Lide. Maybe it's the Old Gods, maybe it's the Void, maybe it's the Kungu Nei ghost who wants Kleinus to die completely... No matter which one it is, it's not something they should inquire about, but this cooperation is not so uncomfortable.
Kronos stood up, and the other eleven high giants also stood up one after another. Kronos looked at them and announced their names one by one:
"Oceanus, Siberion, Clios, Cohens, Iabetus, Tesis, Theia, Munemosyne, Phoebe, Rhea, Themis... the only remaining My family members! At the beginning, we had vowed to conquer the world by our own strength; for this reason, we swore that brothers and sisters should unite and overcome difficulties. Now, there is indeed a new road ahead of us In front of you, you can't believe everything, but you can't believe it either."
Kronos looked at the male giant on his right, and said:
"Let's find three brothers and sisters. If humans dare to hurt you, the army of giants will kill you later. If you try to exterminate the clan, humans will also pay the price. Siberion, you are smarter and can handle things. You are in charge; Cohens, you are the most alert and cautious, go with you. The rest... "
Kronos clicked on the two male high giants, then looked around at the remaining brothers and sisters.
At this moment, Lied stretched out his hand, pointed at Tethis quietly, and said:
"Just her."
