"You saved me."

Planet Devourer stood in the Universe. This feeling was strange. Although "floating" would be more accurate, Planet Devourer gave off a sense of standing firmly on solid ground, as if he could measure the Altitude of the Universe.

However, everyone knew this was impossible. After all, the Universe didn't actually have such a concept. It was all just the Awareness of intelligent Creatures.

"What is your request?"

Planet Devourer gazed at Franklin. Here, only this person who had Revive him was worthy of his attention.

"Planet Devourer," Franklin said loudly.

"We want to know who exactly attacked you?"

Hearing Franklin's question, Planet Devourer did not answer immediately, he seemed to be Thinking.

This was a common Problem for Planet Devourer. According to his settings, Planet Devourer possessed many Abilities, but because of Hunger, his most frequently used Ability was "eating," which was absorption. He didn't use other Abilities at all, because he could solve most Problems just by eating.

This meant that most of the Time, Planet Devourer's mind was only occupied with hunger and eating, these two Ideas. Everything else was thrown to the back of his mind. Over Time, his other Abilities and Memories became difficult for him to recall. Although he wouldn't forget them, it was a bit harder to remember them.

Simply put, it was like something you don't usually use being put in a cabinet. One day when you want to find it, it will take some Time.

But this Time, Planet Devourer didn't make everyone wait too long. After all, it had only just happened recently. He slowly said, Opening his mouth.

"I didn't see who it was, but I could feel that it was indeed a Human."

This answer was a bit ambiguous, making everyone feel somewhat disappointed.

"Do you mean you weren't killed by the Brood?" Franklin asked.

This was clearly a very humiliating Problem. Just when everyone thought Planet Devourer would lose his temper, Planet Devourer remained expressionless, as if the Protagonist of the story wasn't him.

Planet Devourer slowly said, "Those Vermin didn't kill my Ability. The reason I didn't resist was because someone Control me, and I could only watch them slowly devour me bit by bit."

Although Planet Devourer was expressionless, anyone could imagine that watching oneself being eaten clean bit by bit, that Feeling must be unpleasant.

At the same Time, everyone also received a Message. The mastermind behind the scenes possessed the Ability to Control Planet Devourer. This was not good Message.

"Then... can you be sure that the person who Control you was a Human?" Franklin continued to ask. 'Don't think so much for now, getting Message is the most crucial thing.'"

After all, Zhao had said before that it couldn't be ruled out that someone might use a Clone Body or other Abilities to confuse the public. He had to ask clearly.

"I'm sure," Planet Devourer nodded. This was the first Time he had a physical movement.

"Don't underestimate a Deity. Although I couldn't move, I could still sense the Life of the other party. It's just a pity that I didn't see through it thoroughly enough. The other party didn't know what method they used to hide themselves."

"Escaping the Line of Sight of a Deity," Doctor Strange tapped his Forehead. The more he knew, the more of a headache he got.

"Being able to Control Planet Devourer, then hiding oneself shouldn't be difficult either," Tony rubbed his Temple, but he always felt that something was wrong.

Tony looked at Li De and found that the other party was also looking at him.

Li De said, "Have you also noticed something wrong?"

"I have a bit of an Idea," Tony said, crossing his arms, his Right Hand Finger tapping his arm.

"What's your insight, the smartest Guy in the Universe?"

"I do have some Ideas," Li De's words attracted everyone's Line of Sight, even Planet Devourer turned his Line of Sight towards him.

The smartest Creature in the Universe, this was universally acknowledged. Even Planet Devourer would remember this. He also wanted to see what unique insights this wise man had. After all, he also wanted to know who exactly had harmed him.

"Hey, hey, you don't think that I can deduce who it is just based on this little Message, do you?" Li De sighed and indicated that everyone's expectations shouldn't be too high.

"I just discovered a Suspicious Point."

"What is that Suspicious Point?" Planet Devourer asked. It seemed he wasn't as indifferent as he appeared.

"Could it be intentional?"

Before Li De could speak, Yang Le guessed first.

"That's right!" Li De looked at Yang Le in surprise. He didn't expect Yang Le's brain to work so quickly.

"Intentional? Intentional about what?" Gladiator looked at the two riddle-makers in confusion.

"What we mean is that it was intentional for the other party to let Planet Devourer discover him," Li De explained.

Li De turned to look at Planet Devourer. He tried to Control his tone as much as possible to make it sound softer.

"Is there a possibility that since the other party can firmly Control you, they could kill you effortlessly?"

"Of course," Planet Devourer nodded, admitting it generously and without concealment.

"Then why would the other party waste Time letting the Brood slowly devour you?" Li De kept his lower body still, only turning his upper body to face everyone.

Tony followed Li De's Thought and slowly uttered two words.

"Experiment?"

But he wasn't sure, so he used a question.

"In my opinion, you're only half right," Li De agreed, but not completely.

"I think this is more of a playful Experiment because if you look at it as a pure Experiment, it's too crude."

"Completely free-range, without any intervention. No Experiment should be like this, even if it's just observation, it's still too crude."

"It's as if playing a Game," Li De said with a serious expression, word by word.

"It's like buying a Science Kit for a Child but not giving them the Manual. It's full of unknowns and terror."

"I don't know who this mastermind behind the scenes is," Li De sighed.

"But it's clear that all of us are just part of his Science Kit. To him, we are all just Toys."

Everyone present fell into Silence. If the other party had some Purpose, it would be fine, but if it was really like what Li De said, just treating all Life in the Universe as Toys, then it was truly chilling.

Li De's Idea was too terrifying, but the more everyone Thought about it, the more they felt he was right.

"Carol," Tony called out Captain Marvel's Name, attracting the other party's Idea.

"What's wrong?" Carol asked.

"We received your call before we went to explore Planet Devourer's Corpse. How did you discover it?"

"I also received a Message," Carol thought for a moment and replied.

"That Message didn't show who it was. The content was just a Coordinates. I discovered Planet Devourer's Corpse there."
