"Every intelligent being."
As if to emphasize the fact, the giant gritted his teeth and repeated himself.
"The entire universe?" Hao Ren found it hard to believe, and instinctively sensed something illogical in the statement. "Including those primitive planets without even spacefaring technology? They took action too?"
"Directly or indirectly, no one is innocent," the giant replied in a voice like muffled thunder. Then he stared at Hao Ren and the others for a long time. "Since you truly want to know, then listen carefully. Learn what great sins your forefathers once committed."
"I already told you, I'm from Earth..." Hao Ren waved his hands helplessly, but finally sighed. "Fine, say whatever you want. I really do want to know."
Just as Hao Ren had judged, the giant was easier to communicate with than the brain monsters.
Although they both harbored immense hatred toward ordinary races, the giant's hatred was clearly within the bounds of rational control. In other words, his anger still possessed a "human" side. The brain monsters' anger, however, was more like the primitive impulse of beasts returning to their roots. Their fury was utterly uncontrolled and had already been severed from humanity. Their hatred of mortals was unconditional and utterly uncompromising—which was why Hao Ren's attempts to communicate with the brain monsters had yielded no results.
The reason for this change was unknown, but it was probably related to their transformation in form. Those who had become brain monsters could be said to have transformed completely into another species. Hao Ren did not even know whether the giant before him still regarded his "brainified" kin as members of the same race—though of course, he had no way to ask right now.
