Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 717 A Level Ten Mutant Crystal Nucleus?
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, the Devourer immediately shook his head:
"Our life form requires us to devour the life energy of living beings. All life is our food, so there will never be compromise between us!"
As he spoke, the Devourer looked at Li Chenzhou strangely and asked:
"If... in your normal world, a few pigs suddenly ran up to you and said: 'We should all live in peace, and you can no longer kill us and eat our meat.' What would you do? Would you agree to them?"
"It's not the same!"
Li Chenzhou shook his head and said:
"We humans are intelligent creatures. At least, we can communicate freely with each other, but pigs cannot communicate with us. And, most importantly, we can pose a threat to you, whether you admit it or not, that's the truth! Right?
"Also... even if you think we will eventually become enemies, you have to become as powerful as that Mother Empress first. At least, you have to destroy that Mother Empress!
"So, before that, we can still form an alliance, and what I want is this time. As for the end, if we really become enemies, then we'll see who has the last laugh!"
"You really won't control me?"
The Devourer asked.
"If I tried to control you, you could just go back on your word!"
Li Chenzhou shook his head.
He really didn't intend to control this Devourer. What Li Chenzhou needed now was time.
Because the appearance of this spatial passage was too sudden, disrupting all of Li Chenzhou's plans, he now wanted to delay time. As long as he had enough time, with the Killing System, Li Chenzhou was confident in destroying the Devourers, especially now that they could directly use the spatial passage to enter the Devourer's lair.
Hearing Li Chenzhou's answer, the Devourer seemed hesitant. Seeing his hesitation, Li Chenzhou said directly:
"You should be very clear that although you have now broken through the level limit and reached level ten, you are still our prisoner. We can kill you at any time! You know we have this ability.
"So, you only have two choices now, either cooperate with us, and we will help you become the new Mother Nest and kill your Mother Empress. Then, we will each develop and see who the victor is in the end.
"Or, we'll just kill you now! Anyway, there are still Devourers here. We'll catch them slowly. I don't believe that after getting rid of the Mother Empress's control, you Devourers can still maintain your loyalty to him!
"I don't have much time. You only have ten seconds to consider. If I don't get the answer I want after ten seconds, then I can only kill you!!!"
"Okay! I agree!"
As soon as Li Chenzhou finished speaking, the Devourer immediately said.
In fact, this Devourer had long decided to cooperate with Li Chenzhou, because becoming a Mother Nest and establishing his own group was extremely tempting to him.
His hesitation was just an act, in order to get more benefits and promises from Li Chenzhou.
But Li Chenzhou's words just now suddenly made him understand one thing, that is, he was not Li Chenzhou's only choice.
There were quite a few Devourers left in the Duoluo world. Before those two giant nest-class cosmic fleets arrived, they could not leave the Duoluo world, so capturing Devourer prisoners was indeed a relatively simple matter for Li Chenzhou and the others.
Even in this base where he was trapped, there were still his kind being held. If he didn't agree, these humans could completely kill him and give the cosmic origin to his companions.
Therefore, this Devourer dared not delay any longer, and even stopped making any demands, and directly agreed.
"Good! If you agree, then from now on, you must listen to me!"
Li Chenzhou said immediately.
"Humans, you said you wouldn't control me!"
Hearing this, the Devourer couldn't help but question immediately.
"This is not control! It's cooperation. It's just that I will take the lead in the early stages, because I already have a plan in my mind!"
Li Chenzhou said:
"I will help you become a Mother Nest, so we will be responsible for providing the resources you need and protecting your safety. However, since this is a mutually beneficial relationship, you must make some sacrifices!
"For example, I will need the Devourers you create to help us fight, etc. This is the price you need to pay for the resources and protection we provide you!
"Maybe you think this kind of cooperation is unfair to you, but you have no other choice. If you want to become a Mother Nest, you must do as I say in the early stages, understand?"
"Okay! Humans, you win! I will cooperate with you, tell me, what do you want me to do?"
The Devourer said in a deep voice.
"That's right, then first let's give you a name, that string of numbers is too long, I can't remember it!"
Li Chenzhou said:
"Since you have escaped the control of the Mother Empress and become a unique, or even completely new survivor, then... let's call you Xiao Xin!"
"Whatever!"
The Devourer's eyes flickered. He didn't care about the name. What he wanted was survival! As long as he could live and successfully establish his own group, they could call him whatever they wanted!
"Xiao Xin, are you currently at level ten?"
Seeing the Devourer agree so readily, Li Chenzhou nodded in satisfaction and asked, calling him by his new name.
"I don't know, because I have never seen a creature that has broken through level nine!"
"Is your Mother Empress also level nine?"
Li Chenzhou asked tentatively.
"I don't know, I have never been in close contact with him!"
The Devourer shook his head and said:
"I have only seen the Mother Nest I belong to. At least he is level nine."
"Okay! Let's leave it at that for now. You stay here and feel wronged for a while. We need to discuss what we should do next!"
Seeing that he could no longer get any useful information from this Devourer, Li Chenzhou nodded and then disappeared instantly.
"You want to cultivate another Mother Nest?"
Because there was surveillance, Hu Tao and the others also heard the conversation between Li Chenzhou and the Devourer Xiao Xin just now. At this time, Li Chenzhou had just returned to the central control room, and Hu Tao couldn't wait to ask.
"It's not certain yet!"
Li Chenzhou shook his head:
"If we can completely control it, then we can cultivate one! Let him fight for us. If we can't completely control it, then... we can only kill it—what do you think, shouldn't this guy's mutated crystal nucleus now be level ten?"
"Muta... mutated crystal nucleus?"
Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Hu Tao and the others were instantly stunned. That's right, that guy's level has already broken through, so has the mutated crystal nucleus in his body also broken through and become a level ten mutated crystal nucleus?
