At the top of the Sleeping Tower, Zasna was surrounded by countless Titans. These fully armed Titan guards kept a very subtle distance from her, as if although they were asked to keep an eye on her, they were out of inner worries and Fear unconsciously kept the farthest and safest distance away from her, as if she was the dangerous beast.
Zasna did not do anything to irritate them. She and the Titans all stayed here quietly, waiting for Kalet and Marn to bring back the final results. Before that, they did not dare to act rashly.
Fortunately, the awkward atmosphere did not last long, because only ten minutes later, they saw two shadows appear in the sky in the distance. When they appeared, all the Titans raised their heads and looked over.
Different from when they left, there was a clear difference in the size of the two figures who came back. Only when they got closer did the Titans see the normal-sized figure in front of them clearly, and they immediately realized...
That's not Carlet.
When the two figures got closer, they saw clearly the thing floating behind Ma En, and then they saw the leader chasing Ma En away. That head was Kallet.
Death-like silence quickly spread among the Titan guards. They looked up in disbelief. The Titan most trusted by the queen in the Ninth City only had a head left at this moment, humiliated by human telekinesis like a toy. Carrying them back here made them feel both angry and desperate.
Only Zasna looked in surprise at Ma En, who was flying over with Kallet's head. She was happy not only that Marn defeated Kallet, but more importantly, as he asked at the time...
He didn't kill Kallet.
Marn landed gently on the top of the tower, placed Kallet's head on the ground, then raised his head and looked at the other Titan guards, and said calmly as if he didn't take them seriously at all:
"Does anyone have any other opinions?"
It was clear that the humans in front of them were theoretically impossible to defeat so many of their Titans, but when Ma En's eyes glanced over, they still lowered their heads, like a flock of sheep trembling in front of a lion.
After feeling the fear of these Titans, Zasna also took the opportunity to stand up:
"Now it's time for me to return to my body."
Kallet, who was lying on the ground, opened his head and shouted:
"Don't believe her, give it all to me..."
"Shut up!" Zasna said in a cold tone, "Kalet."
Kallet's expression froze for a moment, and then he closed his eyes and mouth as if he had resigned himself to his fate. Seeing this, the other Titans also consciously moved out of the way and no longer tried to block them.
Seeing this, Zasna immediately took steps towards the entrance, and Ma En also followed behind her, watching Zasna open the door and walk in, and then closed the door again to block all the Titans. outside.
Behind the door was a short staircase. Zasna and Ma En walked around a few times and saw a quite spacious hall, which was filled with densely packed various mechanical equipment, and there were also closed doors. Closed door.
Zasna stepped forward and started operating in front of the machine.
"So..." Ma En broke the silence, "Are you Zasna or the Ninth King now?"
Zasna turned back and smiled at him, then changed back to her original voice and said:
"I just looked like I had the consciousness of the Ninth King."
Ma En said curiously:
"So you just lied to him?"
Zasna inserted her right hand into the mechanical device in front of her:
"That's not entirely true. You remember, Ma En, I said that my mother noticed something strange about Kallet a long time ago, so she never really fully trusted Kallet..."
As she spoke, the sound of mechanical operation came from inside the tower beneath them. At the same time, the tightly closed metal door began to operate slowly, and within a few seconds, it began to open to both sides.
"In the beginning, he was just a cover-up."
This sentence came from inside the door.
A beautiful woman who looked far gentler than her "daughter" was standing behind the open door, and was gently shaking her arms, as if she was getting familiar with this new body.
"I'm sorry, I didn't tell the truth until now." The Ninth King said with a gentle smile, "I was indeed acting before, but on the contrary, there is no Zasna at all, and my consciousness has never entered a deep sleep.
"This is a very dangerous thing for me. The enemy who knows this may take the opportunity to destroy my fragile body. Although the Ninth King will not die, 'I' will disappear.
"Just like the gods are sleeping in fear, I don't want to let the new Ninth King replace me."
Ma En showed a surprised look:
"You did lie to them. You've been lying all these years."
The Ninth King nodded slightly and said:
"In my opinion, this is a risk that must be taken. When Kallet becomes alienated, I no longer have a Titan that I can truly trust. Even if this may cause my consciousness to dissipate, I have to stay awake. To prepare for possible unexpected situations, and now it seems that my decision was the right one.
"And the worst-case scenario is that I die, but the Ninth King will not die just like that, so as long as you don't care so much about your own life and death, this is actually not a real adventure."
Ma En nodded slightly and said:
"So you have no intention of answering my questions before completing the transfer of consciousness..."
The Ninth King walked up to Ma En and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, although I already believe you, as a Thirteenth King who has lived for so many years, I also know very well that I should not relax at any time. There are several people who have died and I don't pay that much attention to this.
"And there's another thing that I'm very sorry about. In fact, I had a way to stop Carlet at any time just now. It's just that I wanted to observe you for a longer period of time before I spoke out when I was waiting for you to be completely defeated. But I didn't expect that you would actually do it in the end. No need for any help from me at all.
"I'm sorry, I'm still a little too worried about the methods of those gods."
Her expression looked very sincere, and Ma En immediately raised his hand:
"It's okay. You are responsible for your compatriots by doing this."
As the character he plays now, Ma En has no reason to be unhappy, and if the real Ma En were in the position of the Ninth King, he would only do far more than she did.
If he were the Ninth King, he might even not explain that he was Zasna at all, but in fact, there would be no problem for the Ninth King to do so.
Because when she spoke in the voice of the Ninth King, Ma En had already noticed something strange.
