Which road did you take?

Jiang Xiaofeng asked the Beheaded.

The Beheaded looked at Jiang Xiaofeng with an intelligent expression.

"What I mean is, which route did you take to get here, and who did you defeat?"

The Beheaded thought for a moment, then pointed at Yima.

"A woman?"

" The Time Keeper?"

The Beheaded nodded.

Jiang Xiaofeng seemed to be deep in thought.

Sure enough, at this point, the Beheaded no longer had the Flying Head or the Cave Key, so they could only fight the Time Keeper.

There's no other way then; we'll have to recruit the Giant first.

" The Giant..."

Jiang Xiaofeng was thinking about the information about the Giant.

Would the Giant be terrified if he saw the spirits of the two the King? Hahaha...

Jiang Xiaofeng harbored malicious intent in his heart.

The Collector hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said, " Your the King, this is...?"

Jiang Xiaofeng snapped out of his daze, looked at the Collector, Yima, and the Hand of the King around the Beheaded and said, "This is your true king, the one with amnesia."

"I was kicked into this timeline by the Time Keeper."

"So, I'll have to find the Time Keeper sooner or later."

After Jiang Xiaofeng finished speaking, he walked to the iron gate in front of the Throne Room, kicked open the door of the abandoned rest room inside, and jumped down from the dark tunnel.

This is where the Giant live.

The Collector and the Hand of the King exchanged a glance.

There's no way to get down from the Hand of the King armor; it's too big.

Under the watchful eyes of the Collector, the Hand of the King had no choice but to step out of his armor, dressed in ordinary white cloth, and stand on the elevator.

The Collector and Yima also boarded the elevator.

As soon as the Beheaded stepped onto the elevator, he jumped directly down into the tunnel, and the Collector couldn't even stop him.

"..."

The Collector watched the Beheaded jump down and fell into deep thought.

Then the elevator was started.

The Beheaded crashed to the ground, then rolled away from the elevator.

Then she ran to Jiang Xiaofeng's side.

"Are we going to fight?"

Although the Beheaded did not make a sound, as two beings of the same species with almost identical souls, who are completely similar except for their memories and appearances, they may have a special way of communicating.

"Hmm, the Giant has a 'delicate' heart; he'll probably come with me."

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't open his mouth, but he was indeed talking to the Beheaded.

The word "slender" emphasizes the meaning.

"Then... should we subdue him?"

The Beheaded retrieved Rusty Sword.

Jiang Xiaofeng glanced at the Beheaded speechlessly.

"Let's talk first. If the talks break down, then we can fight."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaofeng took out a Acceptance and tossed it to the Beheaded.

"Here, this is for you."

"Don't carry that Rusty Sword anymore, it's too shabby to look at."

The Beheaded took the Acceptance, performed a few spear flourishes, and then carried the Acceptance Realm on its back.

Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the extremely familiar way he wielded the gun, then stopped paying attention and walked to the middle of the lava pool.

" The Giant, come out."

Jiang Xiaofeng stood in the center of the platform and shouted towards the lava pool.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

A bubble rose to the surface.

The Beheaded also jumped to Jiang Xiaofeng's side, watching the turmoil in the lava pool.

A large hand slowly emerged from the lava pool and grasped the edge of the platform.

With his other hand gripping the platform, a skeleton was slowly lifted up.

Between the two skeletal arms, a huge, helmeted skull slowly emerged, letting out a deafening roar!

"Roar--"

Jiang Xiaofeng covered his ears, while the Beheaded squatted on the ground.

Hmm, it makes sense that the Beheaded don't have facial features...

The Giant looked at the two people, slowly lowered his head, twitched his nostrils, sniffed, and said, "Why are there two?"

"What's going on with you guys?"

"Did the Collector conduct some kind of experiment to create a copy of you?"

"..."

Jiang Xiaofeng hadn't expected that the Giant knew so much.

"Hmm... so you've gone back into your body... but there's only one body, so is this the only way it can be?"

The Giant spoke slowly.

No, he was just a step too late.

Jiang Xiaofeng said.

"Heh, they're quite worthy."

"You deserve your arrogance!"

The Giant lowered his head in sorrow.

"Now we have absolutely no hope left..."

The Giant slammed his fists down and roared furiously, "Die!"

Jiang Xiaofeng didn't utter another word until the Giant finished speaking angrily.

As the Giant prepared to launch its attack, Jiang Xiaofeng turned to look at the Beheaded.

"Let's go together."

The Beheaded nodded.

Then, both figures jumped up at the same time!

Jiang Xiaofeng activated the Tornadic Aura and wielded the Acceptance the Giant's fist, continuously slashing and thrusting.

The Beheaded then took out the Ice Bow and began firing repeatedly at the Giant's eye sockets.

The Giant was completely unaffected by these attacks, and simply raised his hands and slammed them onto the platform!

Red crystals began to fall from the entire cave.

Jiang Xiaofeng quickly withdrew his Acceptance, took out Thunder Shield, and blocked all the crystals that were hitting him. The electric current released by the Thunder Shield shattered the crystals that fell around the Beheaded.

The Collector, the Hand of the King, and Yima watched their fight from the exit of the Giant's dwelling.

"Can we help them?"

Yima asked the Collector.

The Collector shook his head.

"Those two won't let anyone else get involved in their fight."

"If we get involved, those two might chop us up first."

The Hand of the King nodded slightly.

She had followed the King for a long time, taking the King previous orders as gospel truth, and eliminated many ministers who opposed the King's extravagant construction of statues and mining of crystals from the caves.

However, the Giant, relying on his immortality, kept advising His the King to rescind his order.

She therefore hated the Giant.

However, not everything is static.

The King had changed without anyone noticing; he not only began to pursue the absurd idea of immortality, but he also started to become confused and insane.

The Hand of the King isn't stupid.

Although she was loyal, she was not blindly loyal. She knew the King was doing something wrong, but she did not rebel.

No matter how outrageous the orders she received were, she only numbed herself, telling herself that he was still the king in her heart.

Then, steeling myself, I completed the King's mission...

Yes, there is indeed a factor involved that they couldn't defeat the King.

Didn't you see that even the Giant was jumping around so enthusiastically was sealed in a cell with a single shot?

As for now...

She just wanted to see if the king before her was truly worthy of her loyal devotion once again.

I don't expect him to become the wise ruler he once was; The Hand of the King 'd be grateful if he just didn't go mad from time to time...

Yima, however, didn't think that far ahead.

She just wanted to see the world outside the prison cell.

Jiang Xiaofeng made the same promise to her as they moved forward.

After all, she was the easiest to seduce and the easiest to fool in this group.

Moreover, she was the weakest among the group, basically only able to serve as a mascot.

She just felt that these two guys were a bit too obsessed with fighting...

And what about the Giant?

The Beheaded had successfully fired all six ice arrows into the Giant's eye sockets and was now wielding the Spite Sword to attack the Giant's arm;

Jiang Xiaofeng had already paralyzed the Giant's hands. As soon as the Giant's eyeballs popped out, they were restrained by the Frost Arrow. Jiang Xiaofeng then put on his Hattori's Katana and kicked the eyeballs!

As the Hand of the King watched, he muttered in dissatisfaction, "Why don't you use those weird and wonderful abilities when you fight the Giant...?"

Just as the Hand of the King was talking to himself, Jiang Xiaofeng had already swung out the Valmont's Whip and bound the Giant's eyes.

Jiang Xiaofeng forcefully pulled on the Giant's eyeballs, rendering it unable to move.

The Beheaded leaped up, raising its Acceptance and aiming straight for the other eye socket!

"Roar--"

A tremendous, mournful cry rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the Giant's weak voice rang out.

You are a role model for all of us.

"What exactly drives you to cause so much destruction?"

Jiang Xiaofeng answered decisively, "He's the Collector."

The Collector watching from the sidelines. "..."

The Giant looked at the Collector, the Hand of the King, and Yima, and slowly said, "Is this your choice? I understand."

"My king..."

"You..."

"What a fucking hopeless bastard!"

A raised middle finger! Infused with soul!

"Fuck you!"

Jiang Xiaofeng immediately unleashed a giant hand formed from the Electro Hypostasis, grabbed the Giant's head, and lifted it up.
