Chapter 1781: Detonating the Black Rope

Hei Di, you think you can still fool us?!

Hand over Lin An, and we'll give you a quick end! As fellow Star Destroyers, you should know we have plenty of ways to make you talk!

Kandis, what are you hesitating about?! Or are you saying you also have a problem?!

Above a storm of chaotic rules, aside from the Chimera Emperor seeming to ponder something, the green dragon eyes stared fixedly at Hei Di.

The remaining five all used their own rules to lock onto the gaunt-faced Hei Di.

Among the five, the Overlord, wielding a huge sword, prepared to first completely cripple this old geezer, leaving only his head to speak of later.

Indeed, they were startled by Hei Di's initial words.

But after reacting, they only felt this was Hei Di's excuse to buy time!

As for the Chimera Emperor's reaction, it also instantly put them on alert.

Both of them once served Lin An as dogs, betraying the Star Destroyer faction! Doing the same trick again isn't impossible.

However, before the crowd's hostility grew greater, they intended to ignore the obstruction.

The next second, the Overlord was shocked to see Kandis suddenly dispel her own rules, as if using herself as a chip, blocking in front of them.

Let him speak!

If you're worried that I and Hei Di still have issues, then after he finishes speaking, we can act!

As his words fell, everyone was suddenly startled.

Kandis?!

Heh... Kandis, it seems only you still have a brain. Or rather, you've also thought about these.

The situation suddenly changed; Hei Di looked at Kandis with a half-smile, ignoring everyone's shocked and angry gazes.

After a brief pause, the heavily wounded he casually wiped blood from the corner of his mouth and spoke again:

I didn't deceive you; we were all deceived, and I was deceived too.

The "story" is short, but after listening, you'll know whether what I say is true or false.

A self-mocking laugh, or rather a low laugh mocking them all, seemed eerily strange.

Such an attitude instantly further angered everyone.

Deceived?! You say that person deceived us?! If it weren't for you meddling, we would have killed him long ago! From start to finish, only you is pretending to be smart and causing trouble!

If from the start you didn't want to monopolize the reward, we might have already finished this mission!

Extremely angry, he laughed back.

The Overlord's huge sword mercilessly pressed heavily on Hei Di's neck, wishing to cleave this old geezer in half with one strike!

As someone repeatedly deceived by Hei Di, he felt the situation had become this complicated, all thanks to Hei Di!

If it weren't for Hei Di and company pretending to ally with that person, they wouldn't have joined forces to surround and kill him!

Strike early, kill early!

However, before the Overlord could say anything more, Kandis, who had been deep in thought, suddenly turned her head and gave him a cold stare.

Shut up!

Don't interrupt him! I said, let him finish speaking!

Unlike the other Star Destroyers who don't trust Hei Di, Kandis has always had a strong sense of unease! His words only made her think of something!

No more time was wasted.

Hei Di slowly closed his eyes, then opened them again and spoke rapidly:

A bunch of idiots...

I'll start from when we first saw the Lin Emperor.

You should remember who first mocked the Lin Emperor who arrived last when the assembly countdown ended!

It was a Human-Insect, the leader of the Human-Insect clan, a Fifth Stage War Star Level Ssesman!

Remember this!

His expression solemn, as if reversing the whole conspiracy.

After Hei Di finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at another Star Destroyer.

Kuer Sasi, you actually encountered the Lin Emperor on the road even before reaching the fortress, right?

And according to what you said, you saw the Lin Emperor trapped in a space fragment and initially thought he was just a discarded Fourth Stage!

Facing Hei Di's questioning gaze, Kuer Sasi instinctively nodded.

That's right, I did indeed encounter him, and you didn't either?

What exactly do you want to say?!

Although he didn't know why Hei Di suddenly brought this up, he indeed saw it. Looking back now, it was clearly that person deliberately acting.

Ignoring Kuer Sasi's doubts, Hei Di nodded and spoke again:

I'm saying this, but you might not yet realize what it means!

It looks like just the Lin Emperor acting; he likely knew before entering the mission that he was alone in a faction, deliberately showing weakness to disguise himself.

But he didn't expect the system to reveal his identity!

But that's not it! We might all have been wrong about this!

Changing tack, Hei Di took a deep breath, speaking word by word:

That Human-Insect Fifth Stage that mocked the Lin Emperor and even trapped him is a subordinate of Xu Kong Chong Mu!

It's not just the Lin Emperor acting; it's the three of them who had long conspired to set this up!! The space fragment that trapped the Lin Emperor was deliberately meant for us to see!

As his words fell, everyone's hearts jolted.

Although Hei Di hasn't finished speaking, just this news alone instantly made them feel strongly that something was off!

The entire venue fell silent.

Even the Black Emperor, who was the first to realize this, still felt shocked after saying it out.

Hei Di

He had no idea why Lin An had made such preparations so far ahead; maybe he was deliberately posing as an enemy of the Void Insect Mother, or maybe he was laying the groundwork for a later plot.

Lin An, Xu Kong Chong Mu

But regardless, Lin An must have joined forces with the Void Insect Mother long ago; otherwise, such a coincidence would be impossible.

Lin An, Xu Kong Chong Mu

He took a deep breath.

The Black Emperor then turned his gaze toward the Chimera Emperor.

Hei Di, Chimera Emperor, Emperor

Candice! You should remember when we first probed, letting the Lin Emperor take out that batch of Fifth Stage!

Do you still remember that Human-Insect that followed after the Radiation-energy Beetle?!!

He is a clansman of Ssesman, and also a subordinate recruited by the Xu Kong Chong Mu!

How terrifying! It seemed we were using that batch of Fifth Stage to probe him Lin An, but actually it was an opportunity for the Xu Kong Chong Mu to openly contact Lin An!!

While speaking, Hei Di's expression turned somewhat ferocious.

That was a horrified reaction born of fear!

I actually couldn't figure it out long ago! I couldn't understand why that woman would self-destruct! In our initial plan, she was also a pawn probing the Lin Emperor!

She was clearly going to save someone! Yet she not only failed to rescue that Human-Insect, but absurdly self-destructed!

Now it seems the Xu Kong Chong Mu simply used the self-destruct to conceal something, handing it over to that person right before our eyes!

Clenching his fists tightly, Hei Di couldn't help but let out a bitter, self-mocking laugh after he finished speaking.

How ridiculous!

What the Chimera Emperor didn't realize was that his initial idea to use the Xu Kong Chong Mu's ability to teleport and escape was fundamentally inspired by this incident!

Seeing that woman self-destruct, he mistakenly thought the Xu Kong Chong Mu was timid enough to be manipulated at will, which led to his later pursuit of the Xu Kong Chong Mu demanding the Fifth Stage!

Now thinking about it, every one of his ideas probably fell within that person's calculations!

From the moment he first encountered Lin An, he had fallen into the trap!
