Chapter 1749: Rebellion 5

Save me!?

The Overlord suddenly froze.

Before he could react, the next moment his vision went dark.

When he regained consciousness, he was shocked to discover that Hei Di had dragged him into a special space.

Both sound and spirit were isolated inside and out; obviously, this was a cautious move by Hei Di to avoid detection.

"What on earth do you want to do!?"

Regaining his senses, the Overlord looked around in shock.

He could certainly see that Hei Di's bizarre action perhaps really didn't intend to kill him.

But the more this was the case, the less he could understand!

He's stupid, that's just lack of experience! Under the most basic logic, he couldn't think of any value he had that would be higher than Hei Di killing him!

"What are you doing?"

A cold counter-question.

Hei Di glanced with a hint of heartache at the isolation Props he had exchanged for, then his right hand instantly clamped around his neck like an iron vise.

"Such a stupid question, I don't want to hear you ask it a second time."

"Overlord, I only ask you one question: do you really want to live or not!?"

Feeling Hei Di's somewhat irritated anger, the Overlord dared not ask further and could only nod hastily.

To live? He certainly wanted to live!

"Heh."

"Just wanting to live is enough."

"If so, I'll ask you one more question: are you willing to cooperate with me!?"

He went straight to the point, with no nonsense.

Hei Di exerted a little force with his right hand and directly asked the Overlord. His eyes, filled with black light, stared straight into the Overlord's.

It seemed that if the Overlord's answer dissatisfied him even slightly, he would directly crush the Overlord's skull.

"Cooperate!?"

Faced with Hei Di's blunt words, the Overlord's eyes were full of astonishment and uncertainty.

As if he had thought of something.

Subconsciously, he couldn't help but blurt out:

"You want me to join you? You also want me to be a dog for that one!?"

"You've taken a liking to my abilities!? You're going to start hunting other Star-Destroying beings!?"

His reaction wasn't slow.

But after saying that, the Overlord couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

He seemed to have said the wrong thing; he shouldn't have said the words 'be a dog'.

But if that were really the case, it could explain why Hei Di deliberately kept him.

His spatial rules were also top-notch among Star-Destroying beings, but running into Hei Di gave him a slight disadvantage. Although he was reluctant to work for that one, for the sake of his life he could accept it.

However, this was completely different from what the Overlord had imagined.

Hei Di suddenly snorted, his eyes full of contempt.

"Your brain... can only think of these things..."

"Then what exactly do you mean...!?"

Hearing Hei Di's mockery, the Overlord jerked upright.

Before he could retort, he suddenly felt intense pain in his throat; with a crack, Hei Di directly crushed his throat bone!

"I said, don't ask a second time!"

"Idiot!"

After brutally crushing the Overlord's question in his mouth, Hei Di's expression eased slightly as he spoke to himself.

"Overlord, have you really thought about how you need to act to survive this mission?"

"Do you think this is just bad luck, that I happened to be sinister enough to run into you?"

"No, you're too naive!"

Crushing the Overlord's throat bone was practically just to make him 'shut up'.

After his words fell, Hei Di ignored the Overlord's sobbing sounds, gave a light chuckle, and began to ask and answer himself.

"Your combat ability is not bad; with spatial rules in hand, theoretically you could survive to the end!"

"Moreover, you didn't bring any clansmen in, which further eased your pressure a lot."

"But is that really the case?"

"Overlord, I believe you've long felt that you'll constantly encounter Star-Destroying Level harassment along the way, you won't even get to rest, and wherever you go there will be battle!"

"This leaves you bewildered, even suspecting you're being tracked, right? Otherwise you wouldn't have flown into a rage and directly attacked the one most likely tracking you, Guang Yao!"

As he spoke, Hei Di lowered his head to glance at the Overlord; as expected, after he finished saying that, the Overlord's body indeed stiffened suddenly.

"Exactly!"

The reason he fought Guang Yao was because he was sure that woman was tracking him!

Otherwise, what would cause him to run into trouble wherever he went!?

Yet again, just like the previous scene.

Hei Di glanced at him indifferently and directly gave the answer.

"You're overthinking it."

No one. From beginning to end, nobody has been following you.

Other Star-Destroying Levels simply, in passing, amplified the traces you left, by mutual understanding. Just like a road sign, as long as someone sees you, every Star-Destroyer will remind those who come after, your Sovereign Overlord passed here at what time, at what speed.

Guang Yao is actually just as unlucky as you; her situation is actually similar to yours; the two of you were merely forced together invisibly by others.

It's like a net.

Even if no one sees you, the vibrations you leave will be calculated by the other thirteen Star-Destroying Levels, and then all shared!

Their heart jolted suddenly.

Having been pointed out by Hei Di in a single sentence why they were always found, the Sovereign's shock grew even greater.

So...

Wait!? So that means Guang Yao is already...!?

Looking at the Sovereign's pupils suddenly constricting, Hei Di smiled indifferently:

"I said I'm saving you; as for whether Guang Yao's heart is dead or alive, you currently have no right to think about it."

"Alright, are you wondering again why we're treating you this way? Want to know if we've secretly teamed up long ago?"

'No..'

Too lazy to listen to the Sovereign's nonsense, Hei Di directly said what he had in mind.

"We haven't teamed up."

"We all know your combat ability is not bad, and you have a good chance of surviving to the end. But you just happen to be the stupidest..."

"If that's the case, then everyone will tacitly target you, even if we've never communicated."

"After all, if you die, we'll have one more spot to survive."

"If there's blame to assign, it can only be that you're neither the strongest nor the weakest...."

Having said that, Hei Di patiently gave the Sovereign a little time to digest.

Nothing complicated.

Except that, compared to those with little experience, the Sovereign hailing from a high-level civilization is different.

These Star-Destroying Levels who have fought their way here, even from the moment they fled, had already figured out how to survive this mission.

Just like Hei Di, the black-light rules he masters are most suited for hunting other Star-Destroying Levels.

Therefore, upon realizing the appearance of a monster like Lin An, he decisively chose to ally with Lin An! Otherwise, he would be another "Sovereign".

As for that foolish dragon, it was merely dragged off course by him.

In the brief silence, the Sovereign's expression changed repeatedly.

Feeling Hei Di's hand slightly loosen, intending to let him speak, he then hoarsely opened his mouth:

"So, what do you want... how to cooperate?"

"To meet you while you escape? To prevent that person from killing you at the last moment?"

He asked anxiously.

The Sovereign stared fixedly into Hei Di's eyes.

If not for joining Lin An's faction to hunt others, Hei Di's cautious courting of him could only be to leave himself a backup plan.

As for another possibility...

Sorry.

He hadn't even thought of it.

The Star-Shatterer is an invincible existence!

However, once again, the Sovereign realized he was mistaken.

"No."

"What I want to do is very simple."

"I want you to join me in killing Lin An."
