Chapter 1762: The End of the Stars 10

What the hell? Aren't you here to kill him?

"Such a huge benefit?"

"Hei Di, do you take me for a three-year-old?"

He glanced left and right, carefully extending his mental power.

Although the Thousand-Eye Overlord had no intention of believing Hei Di's words, he also sensed something was off.

"I know you don't believe me, Thousand-Eye Lord."

"It's fine; once I finish explaining, you'll surely believe me."

"Let me first tell you what benefits I'll give you."

Seeing the Thousand-Eye Lord pause, Hei Di snorted inwardly, knowing he'd taken the bait.

After merely pausing to whet their appetite, he went straight to the point:

"I'll help you complete this mission—I guarantee you won't die!"

"Besides, I'll also give you a tremendous reward—one you'll definitely find tempting!"

"You want me to be your lackey!?"

What a quick reaction.

Just as when Hei Di had previously found the Star Destroyer, the Thousand-Eye Lord, the instant Hei Di spoke, instinctively assumed Hei Di was trying to win them over.

He snorted in anger, contemptuous.

The Thousand-Eye Lord mercilessly mocked the past.

Although they fear death and also fear Lin An, they would never stoop to handing their lives over to another monster like Hei Di does, just to cling to survival.

Before the Thousand-Eye Lord could even think to tell Hei Di to cut the nonsense and stop trying to recruit him,

Hei Di, as if he'd expected this, showed no change in expression.

"Of course not."

"Let me be blunt."

In three hours, we'll surround and kill Lin An together! As a sign of good faith, before the attack I'll let you all finish your missions! After Lin An dies, I only need one permit—everything else is yours!

His voice was calm, yet to the Thousand-Eye Lord it struck like a thunderbolt, stunning him on the spot.

"Kill Lin An!?"

"You dare... no, you lot!?"

"You want to betray that Shattered Star!?"

Half a minute later.

The Thousand-Eye Overlord stared, bewildered, at Hei Di—who hadn't even unleashed his rule power—slowly drifting toward him, his heart shaken.

He could tell Hei Di genuinely wanted to cooperate on something; otherwise such a lie would be too clumsy.

"How can I trust you?"

"What gives you the nerve to move against that one? That one just killed Frost not long ago!"

"How can you guarantee you're not deceiving us, luring us to our deaths?"

He stared fixedly at Hei Di.

According to Hei Di's plan, they will secretly ambush at some point on the battlefield four hours from now.

And Hei Di will lure that Lin Emperor over.

At that point, Hei Di will lead the attack, they'll take turns striking, and together they'll share the reward for slaying this Shattered Star.

There's nothing elaborate about the plan, and it doesn't sound like a trap.

But the more straightforward it seems, the less the Thousand-Eye Lord can understand it.

Hei Di and that dragon, obviously loyal lackeys for so long, have slain countless Fifth Stage beings!

He could tell the Thousand-Eye Lord was still wary of him.

After flying over to show his sincerity, Hei Di chuckled lightly and then spoke plainly:

"What gives you the right?"

"Why wouldn't I dare!?"

Hei Di shot back.

"I can't explain this to you right now, but I can prove it!"

At that point, I'll strike first, and you can verify there's no risk before joining in!

He had no intention of explaining anything.

As Hei Di spoke, his tone grew slightly grave.

To be frank, there's an element of gamble, but he's already verified the crucial info, giving him ninety-nine percent confidence he won't be wrong.

Without giving the Thousand-Eye Lord a chance to speak, Hei Di shifted gears and continued:

"As for how to guarantee it's not a trap?"

It's simple: my people are yours to kill—kill as many as you like!

His words hadn't even faded before the Thousand-Eye Lord could react.

Hei Di suddenly seized one of his own Fifth Stage subordinates and hurled him forward.

The number of kills you need is about the same as my subordinates!

To prove my sincerity, feel free to kill these people!

I'll help you complete your missions ahead of time; if later you feel something's wrong, you can abandon the siege and just flee.

"Does this count as sincerity!?"

His voice carried no emotion.

The Thousand-Eyed Lord stared in shock at the calm-faced Hei Di, as if looking at a madman, and was so startled he couldn't help but take a step back.

What the hell!?

Hei Di's so-called proof is actually using his own clansmen as chips!?

In his shock, he only then realized that the Fifth Stage beings Hei Di brought almost all had faces like dead ash, and in their eyes full of sorrow and bitterness, there was also a hint of resolve.

That is a death wish.

It's as if they know their fate; even though they know their civilization's leader wants them dead, they can only volunteer to die.

"Hei Di!? Are you crazy!? Do you know what you're saying!?"

He swallowed hard.

To be frank, for a Star-Destroyer like the Thousand-Eyed Lord, sacrificing one's own people to complete a mission is actually no big deal.

For the continuation of civilization, he could even sacrifice himself.

But... but...!

But in the eyes of all Star-Destroyers, the reason Hei Di is willing to defect to Lin An and become a dog is also the most important reason: he wants to save as many of his clansmen as possible!

In a Star-Destroyer-level melee, they will all die, and their subordinates will die even more!

Therefore, in the eyes of all external Star-Destroyers, Hei Di's defection to that person is merely to preserve the most strength: either they all die, killed by Lin An's hand, or they all live, which is the greatest reward for being a lackey!

And yet now Hei Di doesn't even care about his own clansmen—so why would he still defect and become a lackey!?

This logic makes no sense at all!

"Crazy?"

"No, I'm perfectly clear-headed. I know what I'm doing."

Hei Di waved his hand, directly signaling his Fifth Stage subordinates to fly into the Thousand-Eyed Lord's camp, as if he truly didn't care about his clansmen's lives.

After a slight pause, he looked expressionlessly at the Thousand-Eyed Lord and spoke softly:

"In fact, I've already found a few others to do this together."

"I, Xu Kong Chong Mu, and several other Star-Destroyers have all abandoned our clansmen for you to kill."

"You take the points, we take the permission."

"To be honest, whether you agree or not, whether you're willing or not... I actually don't care."

"I've already convinced most of the Star-Destroyers."

"Soon, all the War Star Level and Fourth Stage beings on the Starfield Battlefield will 'disappear'. If you don't join our plan, then you'll have no one left to kill. By then, you'll have no way out."

A soft laugh.

Hei Di lightly threatened without a care, and in his deep, dark-like eyes, a thousand shocked eyes were reflected.
