Even for the lava behemoth in its original form, it cannot be considered an intelligent life form. Intelligence is a completely different concept for it, and even Luo Tian did not know how to deal with it.
After a moment of contemplation, a flash of inspiration struck Luo Tian.
"It is said that all the stone people in the world share the same brain. Although I cannot create a brain for a stone person out of thin air."
But wouldn't simply giving it its brain directly fulfill its request?
"As a frequent guest on Yasuo's family tree, it's not unreasonable for such an outstanding stone man to have a brain all to himself, is it?"
Once the thought was made up in his mind, Luo Tian readily agreed to the stone man's request.
"I've agreed to your request!"
Upon hearing this, the stone man quickly expressed his gratitude in a slow, deliberate tone:
"Thank you!"
As for the method of inquiry? It's clear that the Stone Man's current brain is not capable of such complex thinking.
It was just very excited because it knew it was about to become a stone man with a brain.
After fulfilling the stone golem's request, Luo Tian turned his gaze to a magic sword stuck in a flowerpot in the corner.
However, before speaking to Aatrox, Luo Tian, to avoid any trouble from the Sword Demon, thought for a moment and then said to Yasuo, Atreus, and the Stone Man:
"You guys go out for a bit, I need to discuss something with Aatrox."
After the heroes left the villa, Luo Tiancai asked Aatrox:
"So, it's your turn, Aatrox. What do you want?"
Aatrox's sword trembled, and a savage voice roared:
"I want you to pull me out of the flowerpot!"
Luo Tian grinned and said:
"Is this what you're asking of me?"
Aatrox was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then immediately realized that Luo Tian was referring to the favor he had been asked for, and quickly changed his mind, saying, "No need! I think it's fine in the flowerpot!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian immediately showed a look of regret.
He wasn't worried about any troublesome requests from others, but he was wary of Aatrox.
Among the heroes, besides Poppy who played passively the earliest, the one who had the closest relationship with Luo Tian should be the tool sword Aatrox.
Because of the extended period of contact, Luo Tiancai had a clearer understanding of what Aatrox was.
If Aatrox only needs Luo Tian to unseal him from the demon sword, or find him a physical body, it wouldn't be a problem. Even having Luo Tian destroy the void wouldn't be difficult.
If Aatrox were to destroy several worlds and become the terminator of worlds, or wipe out all the Protoss on Mount Targon, it would be a considerable problem for Luo Tian.
It's not a question of whether it's possible or not. With Luo Tian's current strength, destroying several worlds wouldn't be difficult. However, Luo Tian doesn't want to use his increased power recklessly.
If an enemy comes close, then it goes without saying that he will take action. But if no one provokes him, Luo Tian has no reason to destroy the world for fun.
Aatrox seemed to sense Luo Tian's dislike for him and said somewhat irritably:
"Don't worry, I won't use such a precious request to cause any damage; that would be too inelegant."
True destruction can only come from my own hand; it requires no help from anyone else.
Even if it comes to dealing with the Void, with that group of hypocritical Protoss, I will personally go and slaughter them all!
Luo Tian was relieved upon hearing this and said:
"Then you can tell me your request. I will do my best to fulfill it."
"Really?" Aatrox's voice carried a hint of doubt.
"What kind of relationship do we have? Would I lie to you?" Luo Tian practically patted his chest to assure Aatrox.
"Since that's the case..."
Aatrox's voice was full of joy as he said:
"Then give me back my equipment!"
Chapter 335 The Sword Demon, once again tricked and crippled! (4000 words)
"Huh? Equipment?"
Luo Tian was completely dumbfounded.
He thought he knew Aatrox inside and out, and had considered several possibilities based on Aatrox's personality, but he never expected that Aatrox would make such a request.
It should be noted that the reason why Luo Tian was able to fight against the White Bone Bodhisattva without using the Soul-Sucking Strike in the Xuanhuang Great World was largely due to the enhancement provided by Aatrox's equipment.
Although it was only a few hundred points of life, Luo Tian's control over his own power increased almost exponentially after his physical body was strengthened.
If Luo Tian lost those extra hundreds of health points, his strength would undoubtedly decline significantly.
However, this matter involved the secrets of his own power, which obviously could not be told to Aatrox. For a moment, Luo Tian himself did not know how to explain it.
Looking at Aatrox in front of him, Luo Tian felt a pang of pain in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm and asked:
"Didn't I say before that I'd help you become a one-sword style sword demon? Why are you suddenly eyeing your equipment again?"
Luo Tian's question made Aatrox feel uneasy, and he coughed twice in a hoarse voice as if to cover something up.
"Cough cough cough! I just feel that the one-sword style sword demon might not suit me. I prefer the feeling of dominating the battlefield, so please give those pieces of equipment back to me!"
After speaking, Aatrox looked at Luo Tian, and the clash of their gazes made the atmosphere in the living room become subtle.
Luo Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing something amiss in Aatrox's words, and tentatively said:
"Is there a reason why you're suddenly so eager to get your equipment back?"
"Absolutely not!"
Aatrox retorted righteously, then asked Luo Tian with a slightly doubtful tone.
"I just want those few pieces of equipment back, and it should be much simpler than the conditions they proposed before."
Why are you asking me all these questions now that it's my turn?
"How could that be? I was just concerned about you!" Luo Tian gave an elegant yet slightly embarrassed smile.
At this point, Luo Tian was already somewhat regretting the promise he had made to Aatrox.
"Should we just deny our previous promise and fool Aatrox?"
Such a thought flashed through Luo Tian's mind, but the movement in his arms the next moment made him quickly abandon the idea.
In Luo Tian's arms, two little girls rested their heads on his shoulders and clung tightly to his collar, engaging in a fierce battle for territory.
The two little ones seemed to divide Luo Tian in two, vying for their own territory in his arms. One would grab an arm while the other would snatch a leg, their rosy little faces full of a fierce yet adorable expression.
The little ones clearly hadn't noticed Luo Tian's conversation with Aatrox, but if Luo Tian were to directly deny his promise to Aatrox, it would definitely attract the attention of the two little girls.
Regardless of the circumstances, Luo Tian is an elder and shouldn't leave a minor with the impression of being untrustworthy.
Moreover, Luo Tian already felt somewhat guilty for having deceived Aatrox like a fool, so it was indeed a bit immoral to continue to fleece him now.
Therefore, Luo Tian abandoned his plan to deny the promise.
Therefore, the only solution is to get Aatrox to change his mind.
"How about we talk about destroying the world now?"
Suppressing the urge to say those words, Luo Tian's mind raced as he pondered why Aatrox was so eager to retrieve his equipment, hoping to find a solution.
"Aatrox made this request when he was escorting the two little girls back, so it must be related to what happened to them on the way."
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Luo Tian, and he felt a sudden realization, understanding why Aatrox had reacted that way.
With a chillingly benevolent smile that sent shivers down Aatrox's spine, Luo Tian said:
"Aatrox, you want those items back because you got thrashed on your trip with them, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, Aatrox reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, leaping out of the flowerpot with his magic sword, his hoarse voice becoming incredibly loud.
"Ha↘ha↗ha↘ha↗?"
"A setback? You mean those trashy assassins?"
They're just some guys who forcibly gained power through external means; I can slice them all to pieces with a single strike!
"Even those weak divine powers that have been bewitched are nothing more than a bunch of filthy fools!"
Aatrox's voice was full of savagery, but he didn't say a word about the setback Luo Tian had mentioned.
The evasive words made Luo Tian clearly sense his lack of confidence, which further confirmed Luo Tian's suspicions.
"So, you still haven't denied that you were humiliated?" Luo Tian replied with a smile.
Aatrox wanted to refute, but Luo Tian only needed to ask Atreus and the others to find out the truth. It was impossible to hide it, and lying now would only make things more awkward for him later.
The demonic sword emitted a red glow, and Aatrox, inside it, widened his eyes and protested:
"Moreover, battles are all about the strength and strategy of each side. I was in the open while the enemy was in the dark. A defeat caused by a momentary oversight cannot be considered a loss... a setback!"
...In battles, it's normal to have wins and losses; can this be considered a setback?
Then came incomprehensible statements, such as, "I once fought Behemoth one-on-one and slew him with my sword." "Even powerful gods were just my defeated foe." "It was just a temporary setback; the opponent was only a mid-level god, someone I could easily defeat even in my prime!"
For a moment, the villa was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Luo Tian also managed to piece together the cause and effect from Aatrox's ramblings.
The reason for this was probably that Aatrox's strength plummeted after Luo Tian tricked him out of his equipment.
Apart from activating the Conqueror and strengthening some of his power, everything else is almost identical to what it was like back in the desolate city.
Just a few months ago, while escorting two little girls, Aatrox and his party were attacked by a mid-level god from the Asgardian pantheon who had been bewitched.
Although his strength has declined, Aatrox's vision and ambition remain.
So Aatrox rushed forward without hesitation to try and fight this god of moderate power one-on-one, thinking that even if he was no match for him, he could at least hold him off for a while. And then... he was beaten half to death.
The situation was only slightly better than when Aatrox challenged Ares.
Aatrox didn't go into details about what happened next, but judging from his subtle glance at Divina in Luo Tian's arms, it seems that Divina unleashed a powerful divine force to save Aatrox.
After being rescued, Aatrox, still unwilling to give up, chose a lesser god.
After a fierce battle, with Atreus's help, Aatrox barely managed to defeat the true god of weaker divine power.
