The Deity of Gods was the greatest masterpiece after the race's advancement. It took nearly a hundred years and countless resources to finally achieve this miracle. It was seen as a huge leap in the race's control over magic power, and the only way to destroy the Sky-sea Realm.
The moment he said that, the Holy See fell into a brief and strange silence.
For a moment, Hackzord wanted to take back his words, but when he thought about how the battle might end up in the most terrifying way, he held back his impulse.
He had to take responsibility for the continuation of the race.
After a moment, the King's monotonous voice sounded again. "I remember we discussed this previously. You should know what the Deity of Gods means to our race. "
"The hope of defeating the Sky-sea Realm." Sky Lord nodded. "But that's all."
"What do you mean by that?" Blood Conqueror finally could not hold it in and growled. "Let's not talk about the fact that we can use it to counterattack the Sky-sea Realm after removing the restrictions on the floating monsters. Even if we use it on the Eastern Front, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the defensive line! And this means the lives and deaths of millions of our people and millions of warriors. You say it's all there is to it? "
"First, your genius subordinate requested for the race to go all out, and now you want to deploy the Deity of Gods to deal with the insects. You sure are telepathic." Mask sneered as he looked at the people in the Holy See. "I wonder what your thoughts are?"
"… Forgive me for not agreeing," Loathsome Heart said curtly.
The other senior lords also expressed their disapproval.
Only Silent Disaster remained silent.
Hackzord had a premonition of such a situation. He knew that the matter was too important, and it was impossible to inform the King alone. This was also the reason why he decided to convene a Holy See meeting — if they could not reach a consensus, everything he did would be meaningless.
The humans were now extremely similar to them after the First Battle of Divine Will.
Through the absorption of legacies, the race obtained unimaginable improvements. All sorts of new magic power technology spouted out, and every few decades, there would be a huge revolution. The rate of advancement greatly increased, and junior demons were no longer rare. The development of Symbiotic Demons allowed some inferior magic-less demons to become warriors, and the use of magic stones also became common in that period. These results were also reflected in the Second Battle of Divine Will. Even though the Sky-sea Realm had been upgraded as well, it still took them less than 30 years to drive the humans out of the Land of Dawn.
Now, fate seemed to be standing on the side of humans.
Moreover, their speed of change was even faster than the race at that time. According to the nobles who surrendered, Graycastle was no different from other kingdoms ten years ago. The current king of Graycastle, the fourth prince of the Wimbledon family, was not even worth mentioning.
Thus, any hesitation or procrastination would only make the enemy stronger.
It had to make everyone aware of that.
"The Western Front has been defeated." Hackzord took a deep breath. It could imagine what kind of expression Blood Conqueror and Mask would have on their faces. But for the future of its race, it had put its personal gains and losses aside. "Although our race still occupies the territories of the two human kingdoms, we no longer have the strength to push forward. The stalemate means that it will be difficult for us to get the legacy shard in a short time, which is no different from failure."
"What did you say?" Mask was surprised. "That is an army of more than 100,000, not to mention the Symbiotic Demons! How could we lose to those worms? "
"Are you lying to the King!" Blood Conqueror opened its bloody mouth at the Sky Lord. "Not long ago, you said that the Western Front was progressing smoothly, and that our race had successfully stepped onto human land! With the territory covered by the Life Floater, you are now telling me that we cannot defeat the worms? What a joke! "
"Ösrook once gave me a warning, but I did not take it seriously enough, just like how you are treating my warning now," it said slowly. "After all, words cannot describe everything that happened on the Western Front. If you want to understand this, you should use your own eyes to see."
Then, Hackzord lowered its head to the King.
Letting the King read its memory was something it had never wanted to do before. But now that it had taken this step, it had no other choice. As for those small, unintentional mistakes, the King should not take it to heart.
The eyes on the Birth Tower opened at the same time, and a cold feeling surged into its mind. Hackzord forced itself to open up its consciousness, and silently recited its absolute loyalty to the King, allowing the undercurrent to flow through its body!
The iron birds flying in the air, the rain of fire falling from the sky, the huge and bright fireballs, and the God's Stone crossbow bolts shooting from afar … These scenes appeared one after another, as though it was reliving the battle with the humans.
After the cold feeling disappeared, the faces of the lords became unusually ugly. Hackzord knew that they were the same as him. They had personally tasted the feeling of being ambushed by the humans and being only a step away from death.
Even the surging sea of fog beneath their feet had become much more agitated.
Even though Ösrook had previously reported the changes in the humans' weapons of war, no words could compare to experiencing it personally. There were no Transcendents or magic power instruments. Just a group of magicless people piloting strange metal constructs, with the cooperation of a few Witches, was enough to threaten the lives of the lords.
"Is that really … something that the worms can create?" Mask said in disbelief. "I can't sense any presence of magic power on it —"
"In fact, that is their unique characteristic." Hackzord knew that his only chance had arrived. "The strength of the humans cannot be measured by the scarce number of Witches, but all the magicless people should be included. Furthermore, with these things, the originally weak magicless people are no weaker than Primal Demons in terms of combat power, and can even pose a threat to Junior Demons and High Ascendants. "
"So? What are you trying to say? "
"I want to ask everyone, even if you use the Deity of Gods, do you have the confidence to conquer the Sky-sea Realm within ten years?"
The answer was undoubtedly no.
The Deity of Gods was a necessary counterattack, but it was not the only condition for victory. The Sky-sea Realm was also an upgraded race, and no one could say for sure how much power they could unleash in their own territory. The original strategy was to defend the Blackstone region while devouring the legacy shards of the humans, allowing the race to reach a new level before using the Deity of Gods to destroy the Sky-sea Realm in one fell swoop.
"It doesn't matter even if I'm to blame, but the failure of the Western Front is a foregone conclusion. This is an unavoidable fact!" Hackzord raised his voice. "If we don't seek for change, not only will we not be able to counterattack the Sky-sea Realm in ten years, we might not even be able to win against the humans! The final outcome will be the complete annihilation of our race with enemies on both sides. Is the Deity of Gods more important than that!? "
"That's just your own judgment —" Blood Conqueror gritted his teeth.
"Of course not."
"Don't tell me you want to mention Ösrook again?"
"No." Sky Lord paused for a moment. "I'm referring to Nightmare Lord."
Since he had made up his mind, the small deception was for the sake of loyalty. At this point in time, he could no longer turn back. "I'm not sure what clues Valkries discovered in the Realm of Mind that caused him to abandon the frontlines and choose to take the risk. But before he entered the Realm of Mind for the last time, Valkries personally told me that he was leaning towards Silent Disaster's conjecture — that the humans had probably obtained some sort of legacy."
Blood Conqueror froze in his seat.
The one-sided situation in the Holy See had been stirred.
