The giant looked at Hao Ren angrily, showing not a hint of cooperation.

But Hao Ren still felt that he had made great progress this time: because this time he had at least caught a giant who hadn't turned into a brain monster yet, and the latter was obviously easier to communicate with than a brain monster. Perhaps it was because this kind of not-completely-mutated giant still retained some rationality in communication. In any case, Hao Ren's previous attempts to communicate with the brain monster ended without even saying a word, while this giant at least cursed at him just now.

Faced with this kind of stubborn guy, Hao Ren felt that even cursing at him counted as an achievement.

Lily was straightforward and couldn't hold back at this time, hopping up and saying, "Hey, super big guy! We want to ask you a few questions!"

The giant couldn't move under the restraints of the chaotic energy runes, and didn't even have the strength to self-destruct, but he still snorted coldly: "Let me die, or shut up."

Lily dodged the giant's extra-large spit stars while hopping around (other books generally don't mention this detail), while shouting loudly, "Don't be like this, we really don't have any malicious intent! We just want to understand the situation in this world..."

Vivian covered her face and turned away: "It's not very convincing to say this after blowing up their spaceship."

Hao Ren frowned and looked at the giant for a while, then suddenly waved his hand: "In short, take him to the Crystal Core Research Station first, we can't do the same thing as last time."

With the experience of the brain monster's "escape" last time, Hao Ren knew that this kind of creature with unbelievably strong mental power was extremely difficult to restrain, and their formless and immaterial psychic abilities were particularly good at exploiting loopholes. Although the giant in front of him had lost all his strength, and seemed to be unable to escape due to the limitations of his human form, Hao Ren still decided to send him to the Crystal Core Research Station first out of caution. At least there, even the most powerful soul would not be able to escape.

The Giant Tortoise Rock Platform and the black spaceship were now parked in the orbit of Holletta, and the Crystal Core Research Station was on the other side of Holletta, the two were very close, so everyone didn't spend much effort to transfer the giant to the new cage. The giant was bound by demon chains all over his body, and was pushed by a group of autonomous machines into a cylindrical container wrapped in layers of crystals and energy barriers. This container was specially used by the Crystal Core Research Station to hold various dangerous creatures. It could not only block mental power, but also had an extremely strong structure—at least in this universe, almost no mortal race could break through the barrier of this thing.

The container was extremely huge. Even a creature more than ten meters tall could almost live in a large room inside. The giant looked at the crystal clear building structure around him and various facilities that looked very advanced, and finally showed a hint of curiosity in his eyes: he didn't know when such an advanced race had appeared in this universe, and they could actually create this kind of thing. But soon he became inexplicably angry: "You unfilial sons! Are you stealing Mother's power again! How was this cage made?!"

"So what do I have to say for you to understand," Hao Ren spread his hands helplessly, standing outside the container and facing the giant from a distance, "I'm from another universe, I originally knew nothing about this world, but I only saw you and a bunch of tentacle monsters running around destroying the world after I came here, can't I ask the reason? I don't care if you have any difficulties, what you've done has seriously violated the Imperial Code, of course, if you can cooperate with my investigation, you can probably get leniency."

The giant seemed to hear a joke after hearing Hao Ren's words, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground, with a mocking expression on his face, looking down at the "tiny human" in front of him: "From another universe? You want to say that you have nothing to do with those rebellious guys? Bah—"

The giant spat to the side and stared at Hao Ren: "Even through this layer of crystal, I can smell the same stench as them on you."

Hao Ren felt that he was shot for no reason, he turned his head to look at Lily and Vivian beside him: "To be honest, you wouldn't be wrong to say that these two are connected to the Dream Plane residents, but I am a real, native Earthling..."

The giant stopped talking, as if he was too lazy to pay attention to his "enemy." Even Hao Ren, who was usually open-minded, was a little annoyed when facing this kind of stubborn guy, but he stared at the giant in the cage and couldn't do anything: what should he do with this kind of guy? Torture? The other party definitely wouldn't be affected by this. Threats? He didn't have anything to threaten him with. Reasoning? Hao Ren himself didn't believe in this last point, he knew that his mouth was only useful for complaining and bad luck...

"To be honest, I think it's better for you to cooperate," Hao Ren tried to work hard one last time, "You may think that your will is firm and your beliefs are firm, but many guys who are much more powerful than you have actually been caught by us, and they are more miserable than you, they have been locked in jars and dissected for research—don't believe me, look."

As Hao Ren said, he opened the holographic projection device next to the container, and the eldest sons imprisoned in container No. 1 and container No. 2 immediately appeared in mid-air. These two huge tentacle monsters were still immersed in a thin medium solution, looking the same as when they were first imprisoned, except that there were many complex detection devices and enhanced restraining locks on the tentacles and some tissue nodes: because these parts were always twitching in their sleep, Hao Ren was worried that they would damage the detection equipment in the container.

"You treat our brothers like this?!" The giant was finally moved, and he seemed even more angry, "Rebellious! This is also your brother!"

"There's no way, it wants to destroy the world," Hao Ren sighed, "It's a matter of life and death, I can't just watch it destroy the ecosystem, right?"

Izhaks watched for a while with his arms folded, then stepped forward and said to the prisoner in the cage: "I don't know why you are so stubborn, but we must make you speak today. If necessary, I can consider directly torturing your soul. In a word, it's your business whether you speak or not, and it's my business whether I let you speak or not. Don't doubt my patience and means—as far as I can see, your soul strength is about the same as a mortal."

The giant seemed to notice Izhaks at this time, he lowered his head and glanced at him, a little surprised in his voice: "Huh? A... strange creature, I've never seen this before."

Hao Ren was a little stunned, looking at Izhaks: "What does he mean?"

Izhaks didn't understand either, he looked around at the others, pointed at his nose and asked the giant: "Am I different from them?"

The giant snorted: "Another ignorant guy."

"Very loud tone," Izhaks wasn't angry, but laughed, "But I don't have time to study what misunderstanding there is between you and me. Now tell us, what's the matter with the explosion of the red nova—or the Star of the Creator Goddess, what's the matter with the eldest son's loss of control, and what's the matter with you, what's the matter with you?"

Hearing the words "Creator Goddess," the giant stood up suddenly, rushing over like a collapsing iron tower and pressing against the inner wall of the crystal container: "You just want to ask about this?"

"We want to investigate this," Hao Ren looked at the giant's eyes frankly, "Whether you believe it or not, we really don't know anything about this, and we are not on the same side as the rebellious sons you mentioned. Something is wrong with this universe, a very serious problem, a true god who created all things was killed, and now I must investigate the truth of the past, and if possible, I am also responsible for tracking down the whereabouts of those murderers. Maybe you think the aura on us is very similar to the rebellious sons? But we are really not the same."

The giant stared at Hao Ren, then suddenly sneered: "Heh, I believe you know nothing about these things, but I don't think you are not the descendants of those rebellious sons. You guys..."

The giant looked around, his eyes falling on Izhaks: "Only he is clean."

Then he looked at Vivian strangely: "And this...impossible to judge."

Lily was confused: "What are you mumbling about? Can you even tell where someone's ancestors came from?"

"Of course I can," the giant said lightly, "Because we used to help Mother copy the information of every intelligent species by her side—before she was jointly murdered by these rebellious sons."

"Was it really mortals who jointly murdered the true god?" Hao Ren realized that he could finally hear the truth, and his tone became excited, "Who did it?"

"Everyone except the Eternal," the giant gritted his teeth, "All intelligent beings!"
