"Can you explain in more detail?" Roland pressed.
"There's nothing much to say." Silent Disaster was clearly wary of the human king. "You know very little about the Sky-sea Realm. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"That was indeed the case in the past, but it's different now. Graycastle's western border is being attacked by demonic beasts, and one of them is the Sky-sea Realm. " Roland did not care about its tone. Instead, he carefully described the skeleton monster that had climbed onto the land. "This is the first time we've seen it outside the sea."
"Tell him what he wants to know," Valkries said slowly. "Regardless, it's better than letting the legacy shard of humanity fall into the hands of the Sky-sea Realm."
"Since you say so …" Serakkas nodded helplessly. "Listen up, human. The thing you see is called a Nest Mother. They are also the core of the Sky-sea Realm's expansion. A Nest Mother isn't strong in combat, but it can control many subordinates to fight for it. "
"Like a brain?"
"You can describe it that way, but don't interrupt me next time," Silent Disaster said impatiently. Silent Disaster said impatiently. "These creatures are much more ancient than you imagine. Perhaps they have existed since the birth of this world. However, the long passage of time has little effect on them. The changes in their shape and abilities were very stable until the recent few months …"
After a series of explanations, Roland finally understood the reason for the Sky-sea Realm's abnormal behavior.
According to the demons, they could evolve, but it was different from the ordinary evolution of abilities. Every change in the Sky-sea Realm would affect the entire race. For example, a nest was a nest, and a blade was a blade. There would not be any obvious differences between the individuals, unlike humans and demons, where each individual was relatively independent. It was probably because of this reason that their evolution was extremely slow. They would only notice a slight difference every few centuries.
But the recent changes proved that this idea was completely wrong. No one knew how many times the Sky-sea Realm had evolved in the past few months. The only thing they could confirm was that their strength had increased at an astonishing rate. For example, the blade beasts had previously been the helpers of the Nest Mothers when they hunted. As long as their positions were locked on, even Berserk Demons would be able to tear them apart. But now, not only had their size increased by several times, their strength, endurance, and reaction speed had also greatly increased. Their magic filled scythe claws could even threaten Greater Demons.
Even in a head-on confrontation, higher ascendants could easily kill a blade beast, but the problem was that the Sky-sea Realm's evolution was universal.
It was just like when a witch awakened to become a Transcendent, other witches would also become a Transcendent. As long as there were enough of them, a quantitative change could easily lead to a qualitative change.
The defensive line that the devils had barely managed to maintain was no longer able to withstand the invasion of the Sky-sea Realm. Countless enemies crawled out of the sea, crashing onto the battlefield like a tidal wave. The King had no choice but to make the decision to abandon the Blackstone region.
This was definitely not good news for Roland.
If the demons were really unable to maintain their territory, then the humans would have to take on this new pressure. The attack on the Western Region was just the beginning.
"Humans, I suggest that you immediately transfer the legacy shard." Silent Disaster finally said, "With your present strength, it will be very difficult for you to face the Sky-sea Realm's army head-on. Valkries is right. Allowing the Sky-sea Realm to obtain the shard is something we absolutely cannot accept. "
"I have no intention of giving the shard to them." Roland shrugged. "Besides … don't you find the timing of this evolution a little too coincidental?"
"Oh?" Valkries crossed her legs. "Tell me about it."
"The Blackstone region has always been fighting with the Sky-sea Realm, so the estimation of the timing of the evolution shouldn't be too far off. And three to four months ago was about the time when the Oracles ambushed Zero."
"You suspect that the Sky-sea Realm's rapid evolution is related to God?"
"It's just a guess." Roland muttered. "But there's something I'm very concerned about … Have you spoken to the Sky-sea Realm before?"
Valkries' expression gradually turned solemn.
"I don't think so? But the other participants of the Battle of Divine Will have spoken to each other, "Roland said slowly. There was no need to talk about humans and demons. They had even coexisted during the Cloud School of Thought. And the destroyed underground civilization had once "contacted" the Witch Alliance before it was destroyed, which resulted in the God's Punishment Army plan. He believed that the other party's experience was similar. This could be seen from the Nightmare Lord's expression.
Only the Sky-sea Realm was an exception.
There were no records of them in history. If humans rarely ventured into the depths of the sea, it would be very strange if the demons did not have such experiences.
After all, communication was a common trait of civilizations, even if they were mortal enemies.
Now, it seemed like it was a Silent One that drifted away from the three races.
Following this train of thought, the reason behind the Sky-sea Realm's evolution made one shudder.
"What do you plan on doing next?" Valkries asked.
"Heading to the Bottomless Land before it's too late." Roland looked at the duo. "I hope that you can stop all your offensive operations and focus your strength on dealing with the Sky-sea Realm."
"That's impossible." Silent Disaster straightforwardly rejected. "Ignoring the fact that God and Divine Will's deception is just your one-sided statement, the current Western Front Army Commander is Mask, and the Symbiote is under his control. Furthermore … "
"Furthermore what?"
Serakkas did not answer directly, but remained silent for a moment. "I wish to speak to Valkries alone."
"Phew …" Roland exhaled lightly. "Alright, but don't forget about the time."
…
Silent Disaster left the room under Valkries's guidance and walked along the corridor of the apartment.
From this angle, an indescribably magnificent city appeared before Serakkas's eyes. The gray, cube-like buildings rose and fell one after another. They were in no way inferior to the Birth Tower, but their numbers were several orders of magnitude higher. They followed the crisscrossing paths and extended outwards, as though there was no end to them. Even the Deity of Gods was unable to contain so many majestic creations.
The intense impact caused her breathing to turn sluggish.
The glimpse from the window had left Serakkas in shock, but the scene after walking out of the room far exceeded her imagination.
What was even more inconceivable was the numerous figures walking in the city. They did not look like magic users that had been sucked in, nor were they inanimate objects created by the Realm of Consciousness. This was also the greatest difference between this place and the Presiding Holy See.
It was no wonder that human called it 'The World'.
"Let's stop here." Valkries stopped in her tracks.
The voice broke Silent Disaster's train of thought. She forced herself to focus and carefully sensed for a moment before speaking. "There are other magic power users in the room!"
"I know, they're Witches," Valkries said indifferently.
"…" Her reaction was out of Serakkas's expectations. "You already … knew?"
"While waiting for you, I had a simple chat with them, although they still don't like me." Nightmare Lord nodded. "The Witches' main goal is to protect Roland, but in fact, he doesn't need protection. She did it to reassure everyone."
Even a Transcendent would not be so relaxed in front of a Senior Lord, what more a mortal male? Silent Disaster realized that the news was as shocking as the Battle of Divine Will being a scam.
"What else do you think? If he was so easy to deal with, I would have done it a long time ago. " Valkries paused and seemed to sigh. "Of course … that was my initial thought."
"The Witches didn't follow us." Serakkas grabbed her hand. "Tell me, how can I bring you out of the Realm of Mind?"
Valkries looked at her for a moment before shaking her head. "Haven't you realized? I can't leave this place anymore. "
"No, since I can enter, you can definitely leave. Right! If I take your body with me … "
Nightmare Lord extended her hand and brushed aside the hair on her forehead. This action made Silent Disaster widen her eyes.
"Lord Valkries … your magic stone …"
