Chapter 615 Using Insects to Control Insects Rein, resting his chin on his hand, squinted and asked, "My lord? Who are you referring to as my lord?"
The giant tortoise shook its enormous head, stirring up huge waves and making a buzzing sound.
"I don't know your name, but I do know that you are incredibly powerful. You were able to heal me when I was on the verge of death with just a glance."
Upon hearing this, Raine silently asked the Goddess of Life, "Your Majesty, could it be referring to the former Goddess of Life?"
The Goddess of Life nodded: "Possibly, after all, what it just said sounds a lot like how the Goddess of Life used her divine power in the past."
Raine looked at the giant tortoise and asked, "Are you one of the survivors from the First God Era?"
The giant tortoise said, "I don't know what you mean by the First God Era, but I have indeed lived for too long, so long that I can't even remember how long I have lived."
At this point, the giant tortoise's eyes sharpened, and it looked at Renn, saying:
"And human, aren't you asking a bit too many questions? Shouldn't you give me your answers by now?"
Upon hearing this, Lucifer, standing behind Renn, ignited a blazing black flame in his hand, as if he would immediately teach this disrespectful giant tortoise a lesson should Renn speak.
Seeing Lucifer's stance, the giant tortoise also adopted a fighting posture, and the atmosphere at sea was about to erupt.
Ryan smiled and waved his hand, breaking the heavy atmosphere that had been like a powder keg. After a moment of contemplation, he said:
"What you said is indeed very tempting to me. After all, I don't think anyone would refuse to have such a ferocious insect in their hands."
The giant tortoise looked up, satisfied with Raine's answer, and said, "A very wise choice..."
But before the giant tortoise could finish speaking, it was interrupted by Raine.
"Your Excellency is perhaps too quick to celebrate; I haven't finished speaking yet."
The giant tortoise paused its roar and looked at Raine with a puzzled expression.
Raine took out a piece of heirloom jade, held it between two fingers and played with it, and smiled:
"Although enslaving these Void Worms sounds easy, it is extremely dangerous to do, not to mention having to face all of them."
"I don't think it's a wise move to put yourself in such a predicament for the sake of power."
"Moreover, what you just said... was that you wanted to stay out of this?"
As he finished speaking, Ryan's smile became playful.
The giant tortoise remained silent for a moment, then tossed its massive head aside and spoke.
"That's right. Although I can handle some of the Void Worms, if there are too many, I won't be able to withstand their bites."
"But if you want to obtain a way to enslave the Void Worms, you must find a way to eliminate all of them on your own! And you must inscribe a blood pact with me!"
The giant tortoise spoke with a resolute tone, as if it had already defeated Raine.
Renn snorted coldly: "Your plan is quite clever, but this is no less difficult than asking me to chop down a towering ancient tree with a small wooden axe!"
The giant tortoise hummed, "To control the power of these ferocious insects, one must bear the corresponding danger. I don't want that. I only want them to die. What's wrong with staying out of it?"
The giant tortoise's words were correct; at least Renn couldn't find fault with them.
However, in order to realize his idea, Raine had no choice but to play the role of the giant tortoise, since he needed the giant tortoise, a tanky creature, to withstand some of the bites from the Void Worms.
Raine feigned indignation, toying with the jade in his hand as he sneered:
"Do you think you're the only one who can enslave Void Worms?"
Upon hearing this, the giant tortoise's eyes showed surprise and doubt.
He had found this method of enslaving the Void Worms on a fallen great man.
