Everyone's attention was focused on the person who spoke.
Hackzord was no exception.
The Nightmare Lord, Valkries, could be considered the most special of all the lords. She had been promoted very early, so much so that most of the people present had been under her care. During the first Battle of Divine Will, she was also the one who had the closest relationship with the humans, and it was even rumored that there were still believers in some cities. Although her individual combat ability was not the strongest, it was enough to evolve completely. However, she maintained her appearance after her first promotion — green skin, horns on her head, and a vertical third eye in the middle of her forehead.
If you had to say that she did not look like a human, her dressing, speech, and behavior were distinctly human. She was also one of the first lords to master the human language.
This was basically the polar opposite of Silent Disaster — this could be seen from the Nightmare Lord's thin and delicate white robe. In order to show off her appearance, even the fine threads on her robe were clearly visible, and she looked completely different from the blurry figures of the Blood Conqueror and the others.
To be able to spend so much energy on such an unimportant thing and still look so relaxed, it was enough to show her mastery of the Realm of Mind.
If she had been the one scared away, Hackzord would not have said a word.
In fact, she was the only lord that the Sky Lord could not see through.
If it were someone else, he would have marked them as disloyal by closing his eyes in the Presiding Holy See.
More importantly, the king did not seem to have any opinion on this.
"Oh? What did you discover? "
"… I just thought of a possibility." Valkries slightly straightened her body. "Regardless of whether there really is a way to promote that we do not understand, assuming that this male has the same ability as the witches, then this ability must be related to the Realm of Mind, and the degree of involvement is not small. Otherwise, with Her Excellency Silent Disaster's ability, she would not have been suppressed to such an extent. "
The red light under the Silent Disaster's helmet flickered. "I have been guarding the legacy shard for nearly 200 years, and I have seen more than one human, but most of them ended up escaping or being devoured. In the past 200 years, there has only been one person who can look at me as an equal, and it was only one or two years ago — but she was a female. "
"The words of the Witch are not surprising. What I'm trying to say is that it doesn't matter whether the person is male or female. What matters is the ability itself. Perhaps he didn't even realize it himself, but this degree of involvement was enough to leave a mark in the Realm of Mind. "
"If it's just based on the results, I agree with your judgment." Hackzord seized the opportunity to speak. After all, this was its area of expertise. "But what's the point? The Realm of Mind is even more vast than the ocean. It's almost impossible to find these traces. "
"Maybe." Valkries could not deny it. "But I still want to give it a try. By using the connection between the legacy shards, it might not be hopeless. What do you think? "
It could not help but be stunned. "You can already sense the connection between the fragments?"
The inheritance they received from the underground civilization had greatly improved their ability to use mana, including the resonance of the Birth Tower. At the same time, they also realized that whether it was through the Birth Tower or through the legacy shard, it was all done through the Realm of Mind. Therefore, in theory, as long as they started searching from one end, they would always be able to find the other end.
But this was only in theory. The Realm of Mind was full of chaos and disorder. It was like an ocean full of whirlpools. Trying to find a thin thread hidden under the surface of the sea was very difficult. Besides, the deeper they went, the more they would be affected by the turbulence of the Realm of Mind. They would need to use all their strength just to maintain themselves, not to mention trying to find the faintly discernible "connection".
It had never thought of such a method.
Could it be that the other party's understanding of the Origin of Magic had already surpassed its own level?
"Probably," Valkries said unhurriedly. "But we won't know until we try. If we can come into contact with the traces left behind by the other party, we might be able to find out the answer we want to know. "
No, even if we find it, it won't be of much use, Hackzord thought to itself. The Realm of Mind was too complicated. Even those of the same race who had ascended needed a lot of searching, feeling, and guessing to find the truth, not to mention those of a different race. If they tried to understand it by force, they would only fall into confusion and madness. He wanted to say this, but when he saw the other party's pure white robe, he swallowed his words.
That might be the case for others, but for the Nightmare Lord, it wasn't so sure.
"The legacy shard is now under the care of the Sky Lord. If you want to try, go find him," the king said.
"Yes." Valkries put her hand on her chest. "But there are too many uncertainties in this idea, and the time it will take is immeasurable. If human beings really find a new way to ascend, it's very likely that irreparable losses will be caused before we know the answer. If I understand correctly, His Excellency the Sky Lord is prepared for two things. After losing Taquila, there's only one option left, right? If there's another problem, won't 400 years of preparation go down the drain? "
"You worry too much …" Blood Conqueror said in a muffled voice.
"I was the one who presided over Ösrook's ascension ceremony. After he became an ascended, he learned a lot about human beings from me." Valkries closed her eyes and rested again. "His talent was fully revealed during the learning period. I don't think his warning is groundless. As for the proposal to send more troops, I support it. "
"Me too," Silent Disaster echoed.
The king was silent for a moment and looked at the frontline commanders. "Without affecting the entire defense line, is it possible to send ten times the planned number of troops to reinforce the Sky Lord?"
"King …"
"I'm only asking if there is or not."
There was a brief silence in the hall.
To Hackzord's surprise, after a while, Mask spoke first. "Yes, King, I can do it! As long as you invest enough resources in my research, I can cultivate more powerful and diverse Symbiotic Demons. Their growth cycle is not limited by their mother, and their individual combat ability is far above that of the Primordial Demons. It's not impossible to send ten times the troops. More importantly, they won't affect the frontline at all! "
"But that will consume a lot of God's Stones," the Heart of Abhorrence said worriedly. "If we don't control them well, it's no different from destroying our own foundation."
"As long as we can crush those bugs, we can make up for the losses!"
"Are you sure you can keep up with the schedule?" Blood Conqueror said grumpily.
Mask paused for a moment. "Of course, it's difficult to provide ten times the number of Symbiotic Demons at one time, but the bugs may not react so quickly. If we can destroy them with five times the number, we can save half of the resources. Besides, it's better to provide them in batches than none … "
"Alright," the king interrupted the conversation. "Then let's go with this plan for the time being. In any case, we can't let the humans in the Land of Dawn live for another 400 years. In this Battle of Divine Will, we must conquer the entire continent! "
