To kill outside the Royal Court, even a Demigod needs to put in so effort.
But here, all Transcendents have beco Ordinary People!
The King of Giants looked at the Prophet: "You surely did not trust him."
"Hmm," the Prophet nodded, "Although I cannot perceive his mind, his ambition burns like a raging fire, wanting to incinerate all of Kuroharara."
"Then why did you agree to his plan?"
The Prophet said, "I exchanged a year’s life for a revelation of fate. I saw the No. 5 Outpost turned to ashes, human corpses piled into a high platform on the ground, blood dried into Black in the soil, and I even saw the Phoenix Air Fortress falling to the ground."
The King of Giants understood; the Prophet saw the outco of the war, which matched the description by the Duke of Storm City.
He was about to ask more questions when Black Spider suddenly spoke out loudly before the giant broke her neck: "Wait, I know your friend! It’s the friend in the Great Prophecy!"
All giants turned their eyes.
There were only three Arbiters left, and Black Spider had to save herself: "His na is Qing Chen, code na Joker. His current identity is the Chief Butler of Marquis Bolton; he’s in the Third Division and commanded the previous battle against the Drama Master! I know his identity, but I never revealed it to the Duke of Storm City or anyone else!"
The Giant Prophet also finally looked over.
Because the information Black Spider provided was too crucial; if it had been revealed earlier, that friend would have been in danger long ago.
So, indeed as Black Spider said, she kept that friend’s secret.
The remaining two living Arbiters were shocked; they thought Black Spider’s abilities were lacking, not realizing she had left herself such a solid retreat!
The King of Giants asked, "Why did you keep his secret?"
Black Spider said, "I suffered abuse from the Duke of Storm City, so I wanted to unite various forces to kill him. Of course, I didn’t know the Duke was one of your people."
The Prophet shook his head: "Simply keeping his secret is not enough for us to spare your life; you are not our friend. Kill her."
Black Spider hurriedly said, "He was once naked with alone in a room."
The Arbiters: "???"
The giants instantly ca to life, their eyes wide like copper bells, eager for gossip.
Black Spider’s words were quite ambiguous, sounding highly suggestive, as if many stories had occurred.
However, this was said in desperation to save her life. Truly, there was not a single false word in it, as she had indeed personally searched Qing Chen and had him strip off all his clothes in front of her.
The King of Giants looked at a giant: "Illusion!"
(Use ntal induction, is what she said true?)
That giant: "Hmph!"
(It’s true!)
Now, the giants held Black Spider in awe; by human aesthetic standards, Black Spider was indeed quite attractive, tall, reminiscent of Outer World’s female star Jennifer Connolly.
Sothing happening between a friend in the Great Prophecy and her seed normal.
The King of Giants pondered for a mont, signaling the giants to release her, even untying the vines from her hands.
The aning was clear: From now on, you are also considered our friend.
Of course, the most important thing was that Black Spider did indeed know Qing Chen’s identity, and she did indeed help keep it a secret.
The King of Giants pointed to the two Arbiters: "What about them?"
The Arbiters looked at Black Spider with expectant eyes; Black Spider calmly said, "They are not with ; kill them."
The Arbiters: "???"
Before they could plead, the giants behind them easily twisted their necks.
However, soon enough, everyone didn’t know what to do; should Black Spider stay, or should she be let go?
At this ti, a giant who could speak human language asked stiffly: "How well do you know that friend?"
Black Spider thought for a mont and said, "I have specifically studied him; I even know what he’s done in the Eastern Continent."
The giants gasped in anticipation: "Wow."
Lots of people in this world have researched Qing Chen, but in terms of understanding, Black Spider is one of the most knowledgeable, as understanding enemies requires more detail than understanding friends.
Black Spider used to treat Qing Chen as the number one enemy of the Eastern Continent, wanting to eliminate him quickly.
She thought and said, "This friend is a Ti Traveler; he is a disciple of a Demigod in the Eastern Continent and is about to beco a Demigod himself, so many from the West Continent want to eliminate him quickly before he becos the biggest threat."
The giants: "Wow!"
Black Spider continued, "He is the successor of the Qing’s Financial Group in the Eastern Continent... no, he’s already the chairman of the board, reaching the sa height as the Duke of Storm City, only the Eastern Continent has no King; he’s like the local emperor of the Southwest Region."
The giants: "Wow!"
Black Spider said, "He is both a Cultivator and an Awakener. When he was Inspector in City No. 10, all officials were too scared to go out at night, afraid of being arrested..."
She started from Qing Chen’s rise, ntioned Qing Chen becoming the Imperial Instructor for another financial group, ntioned Qing Chen serving as Inspector in City No. 10, ntioned Qing Chen being captured by Jindai in the north and leading colleagues out forcefully.
She also spoke of Qing Chen’s missions to Osaka, Amsterdam, Mount Everest, and most crucially, his decisive role during the plague of rats in City No. 10.
Later, Black Spider spoke until her mouth was dry, simply sitting down outside the Giant King’s palace while facing thousands of giants, seated cross-legged like elentary school students listening to a lecture.
Each one was attentive, afraid of missing any details.
Giants live very monotonous lives; they only go out at night to catch night birds to play with or to make babies.
There is no drama here, no television, no internet, not even fully developed writing and cultural heritage.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have listened to a prophecy for a hundred and thirty years until it beca stale.
Now, the Giant King Court suddenly has soone who can tell stories.
What is this? This is happiness!
