The old man was stunned for a moment, then roared, "Duke Storm, you have betrayed the kingdom, you will not have a good end!"
The giant pinned the old man under his feet, and no matter how much the old man struggled, he could not move and could only curse.
Black Spider asked, stunned, "Why did you want to kill me?"
"Just a toy, do you think I don't know you've already set your sights on killing me?" Duke Storm sneered. "For the past three years, you've contacted the rebels behind my back multiple times. Unfortunately, the rebels are nothing but a bunch of good-for-nothings. But contacting the rebels is one thing, you've also secretly contacted the royal family."
Duke Storm didn't look again, turned to the giant beside him and said, "Take me out of here."
As he walked further and further away, the giants simply snapped the necks of the Arbiters one by one, as easily as killing a chicken, in an extremely brutal manner.
It must be said that Duke Storm is indeed ruthless and intelligent. Three of these Arbitrators are A-level, and the rest are all B-level.
To kill someone outside the royal court, even a demigod would have to go through some trouble.
But once they arrived here, all the extraordinary individuals became ordinary people!
The King of Giants looked at the prophet: "You must not have trusted him."
“Hmm,” the prophet nodded, “Although I cannot sense his mind, his ambition is like a raging fire, wanting to burn down the entire Blackleaf Plain.”
"Then why did you agree to his plan?"
The prophet said, “I traded a year of my life for a revelation of destiny. I saw Outpost No. 5 turn to ashes, and blood dried black in the soil. I even saw the Blackwater air fortress falling to the ground.”
The King of Giants understood; the prophet had foreseen the outcome of the war, which matched the description given by the Duke of Storms.
He was about to ask something else when the black spider suddenly shouted before the giant could snap her neck, "Wait, I know your friend! The friend from the great prophecy!"
All the giants turned their heads to look.
There are only three Arbitrators left, and Black Spider has to save himself: "His name is Qing Chen, codename Joker, and his current identity is the Marquis of Bolton's head butler. He is in the Third Division, and he commanded the previous battle against the Fates! I know his identity, but I have never revealed it to Duke Storm, nor to anyone else!"
The King of Giants asked, "Why are you keeping this a secret for him?"
Black Spider said, "I was abused by Duke Storm, so I wanted to unite various forces to kill him. Of course, I didn't know that Duke Storm was one of your people."
The prophet shook his head: "Merely keeping his secret is not enough for us to spare your life. You are not our friend. Kill him."
Black Spider hurriedly said, "He was alone with me in a room, completely naked."
The adjudicators: "???"
The giants immediately perked up, their eyes widening like copper bells with gossip.
Black Spider's words were very cryptic, and not a single word of them was false. After all, she had indeed personally searched Qing Chen and made him take off all his clothes in front of her.
The King of Giants looked at one of the giants: "Illusion!"
(Is what she said true, based on telepathy?)
The giant: "Hmph!"
(true!)
Now, the giants were filled with awe for the black spider. By human standards, the black spider was indeed quite beautiful, very tall, and somewhat resembled the actress Jennifer Connelly from the real world.
It seems normal for something to happen between her and the friend mentioned in the great prophecy.
The king of giants pondered for a moment, then gestured for the giants to release her, and even untied the vines binding her hands.
The meaning is clear: from now on, you are our friend too.
Of course, the most important thing is that Black Spider did know Qing Chen's identity and did indeed help keep it a secret.
The King of Giants pointed at the two judges: "Where are they?"
The Arbiter looked at Black Spider with expectant eyes. Black Spider calmly said, "They are not with me. Kill them."
The adjudicators: "???"
Before they could even beg for mercy, the giant behind them easily snapped their necks.
However, everyone soon found themselves at a loss: should they keep the black spider or release it?
At this moment, a giant who could speak human language asked stiffly, "How much do you know about that friend?"
Black Spider thought for a moment and said, "I have studied him extensively, and I even know what he did on the Eastern Continent."
The giants exclaimed expectantly, "Wow!"
There are many people in this world who study Qing Chen, but when it comes to understanding him, Black Spider is definitely one of the most knowledgeable. After all, understanding an enemy is more detailed than understanding a friend.
She thought for a moment and said, "This friend is a time traveler. He is the apprentice of a demigod in the Eastern Continent and is about to become a demigod himself. Therefore, many people in the Western Continent want to get rid of him as soon as possible to prevent him from becoming the biggest threat."
Giants: "Wow!"
Black Spider continued, "He is the heir to the Qing Clan of the Eastern Continent... no, he is already the chairman of the board, which is the same level as the Duke of Storms. However, since there is no king in the Eastern Continent, he is practically the local tyrant of the Southwest."
Giants: "Wow!"
Black Spider: "He is a cultivator and also an Awakened One. When he was an inspector in City 10, he scared all the officials so much that they dared not go out at night, for fear of being arrested..."
She started from Qing Chen's rise to power, talking about how he became the imperial tutor of another conglomerate, how he became an inspector in City 10, how he was captured by the Gods and taken to the north, and how he managed to fight his way out with his colleagues.
Later, Black Spider, her throat dry from talking, simply sat down in front of the Giant King's palace, where thousands of giants sat cross-legged like elementary school students listening to her lecture.
Everyone was focused intently, afraid of missing any details.
The giants' lives were very dull. They would go out at night to catch night birds for fun or to have children.
There is no theater, no television, no internet, and not even a fully developed written language and cultural heritage here.
Otherwise, a prophecy wouldn't have been repeated for over 130 years, becoming utterly worn out.
Now, a storyteller has suddenly appeared in the Giants' Court.
What is this? This is happiness!
Chapter 863, Everyone Will Die!
The giant prophet sat cross-legged at the palace entrance. His smooth head made him look like a Buddha statue, and his expression was serene and otherworldly.
The prophet was also listening to the black spider tell its story.
In fact, like other giants, he grew up listening to the mythical prophecy.
As a child, he repeatedly imagined and dreamed about what the friend in the prophecy was like, and how powerful the friend would be to lead the giants to change the world.
But after hearing Qingchen's story, the giant prophet suddenly had even greater expectations... It turned out that the friend in the prophecy was really powerful, just like his grandfather had hoped for before he died.
Could that friend lead the giants out of the Forbidden Forest, just as the other side led over nine hundred intelligence agents out of Base A02?
It was at this moment that the young prophet felt something.
It seemed that the story of the black spider touched him so much that his vision of the future became clearer.
He closed his eyes and saw in his mind the slender yet explosively powerful boy soaring into the sky, illuminating the entire firmament, dazzling and radiant.
Explosion, tearing.
That is a power powerful enough to shake the world.
The young prophet opened his eyes in surprise.
Regardless of what the scene he suddenly saw meant, what surprised him was that simply hearing a story had elevated his abilities to a new level.
The first generation of prophets divided the ability to foresee the future into three levels.
The first level is insight.
The second level is true knowledge.
The third level is destiny.
Just now, this giant prophet's abilities suddenly shifted from insight to true knowledge.
wonderful.
This feeling is amazing.
The prophet looked at the black spider again, and in an instant, an image formed in his mind.
But then they saw the friend from the prophecy carrying a shopping basket, followed by a black spider and a robot girl, calmly buying bread...
Black Spider's expression was gentle, a stark contrast to his current fierce demeanor.
However, the friend in that great prophecy seems a bit off, as if he has forgotten the disputes and right and wrong... Could it be that the war had completely ended by then?
When the prophet opened his eyes again, the black spider had already finished his story for the day.
But she kept something to herself; she only gave a general outline of everything related to Qingchen.
Black Spider had a plan: if these giants tried to twist her head again, she would tell the full story and delay it for a few months!
She said to the giant, "Let's stop here for today. As for how he fought his way out of Base A02, or how powerful his cloud aura is, we'll talk about that later."
The giants instinctively wanted to exclaim "Wow!", but when they heard their tribesmen translate her words and say that she didn't want to talk anymore, they immediately became anxious.
A giant shouted, "Hmph!"
(Tell me another story, and I'll go pick the most delicious fruit for you to eat!)
Black Spider didn't immediately understand the meaning of the hum; just from the sound, he thought the giant was quite arrogant.
To be honest, Black Spider never expected that the research he did to kill the Joker would save his life today.
However, when she recounted what Qingchen had done, even she herself felt that this Joker was indeed very powerful.
And most importantly, once you become one of the Joker's people, he will really risk his life to save you when you're in a life-or-death situation.
This was something Black Spider had never encountered before; working under Duke Storm meant always having to be prepared to be abandoned or discarded.
Thinking about this, Black Spider remembered seeing the Joker naked and almost burst out laughing...
The way Black Spider discovered Qing Chen was quite ingenious.
We have to thank Dayu for this.
Previously, Da Yu had 'Qing Chen' urinate in front of the monitor. The other judges felt disgusted and humiliated watching the screen, but she thought there might be clues!
So she retrieved the surveillance footage from the interrogation at the seaside manor and compared it line by line, and she actually found the match...
Of course, Da Yu couldn't possibly draw a specific part of Qing Chen's body, but the magic of the Chen family painters was that when they used their hearts to draw the image of the other person, the painting would merge with the will of the world, and when they summoned the person in the painting, the will of the world would fill in the details on its own.
