In the area with many Divine Intents, the Hornet Snakes that had been wreaking havoc like locusts had been wiped out by nearly 80% under the attack of the familiars that were known to be the most destructive.
As for the remaining 20%, they were all scattered to the surrounding areas, as if they were escaping from something, giving off a feeling of panic.
But no matter what, those Hornet Snakes couldn't be left alive.
After all, who knew if they would reproduce at an alarming rate and accumulate that terrifying number again?
Once they were released into the outside ecosystem, it might completely destroy the laws of nature and cause the world to have a new kind of disastrous magical beast. That might not be the case.
Therefore, in order not to let any of the Hornet Snakes escape, Amaterasu used his identity as the Three Saints of Lion King Agency to apply to the government to isolate the area and annihilate all the Hornet Snakes.
The government quickly responded to this action and granted permission.
Fortunately, with the blockade set up by the Self-Defense Forces and the barrier set up by the Lion King's Agency, the country was able to easily isolate the area and set up checkpoints on the roads leading to the areas with many Divine Threads. Once the Bees and Snakes were discovered, they would immediately use their most lethal weapons to annihilate the Magical Beasts.
The Self-Defense Forces also responded to this action. After the incident at Tenrope Lake, under Amaterasu's arrangement, except for some essential personnel who needed to stay to cooperate and assist, the rest left the Tenrope Lake.
As for Amaterasu and his party, they returned to the Tenrope Shrine.
Although the Shinagura Shrine had a bird's eye view of the entire God Rope Lake, it was actually not close to the lake. Because of the distance, the Shinagura Shrine could see the entire God Rope Lake, and the terrain was high enough to avoid being affected by the terrifying power of Black Sword of Yama.
However, the shockwave seemed to have reached this place as well, making the Shinagura Shrine feel as though it had encountered a typhoon with a magnitude of more than ten. When Amaterasu and the others returned, the place was already in a state of devastation. It looked like it was on the verge of collapse, with damaged and collapsed trees everywhere. The miko maidens were also cleaning up the mess, feeling like they had just experienced a disaster.
Xiao Feisha could only smile wryly. On the contrary, the culprit, Rozen, turned a blind eye to it. He carried Agurola, Yusha, and Yusha, Yusha, and entered the main hall of the shrine with the others.
It was worth mentioning that Watra and Iblisbell were here as well.
The reason was simple.
They all wanted to know just what had happened in Divine Rope Lake, why the seal had suddenly been broken, and why the Wasp Snakes had appeared in groups.
This was also the reason why Rozen was still here.
There were still many unanswered questions about the Godrope Lake.
Therefore, Rozen felt that he couldn't leave yet.
Then …
"Perhaps … I've misjudged Black Shell's true colors."
As soon as he entered the main hall, An Bai Nai seemed to be mocking himself as he spoke weakly.
"Maybe the black shell isn't a seal, but a part of Holy Annihilation's legacy, the same as the Hornet Snake."
As soon as he said that, many of the people present changed their expressions.
Including Wei Li.
Including Zhi Xu.
Even Xiao Feisha's expression froze and she fell silent.
Because even she knew that the black shell was the seal of Holy Destroyer's legacy.
However, if the black shell was a seal, why didn't it bind Holy Annihilation's legacy when he tried to strengthen it?
"That's because that thing has matured."
An Bai Nai still had a self-deprecating look on his face.
Hearing this, several people in the hall understood what was going on.
"So, the essence of the black shell is not a seal, but an egg?"
Vatra said cheerfully.
"Egg?"
Iblisbell seemed to be deep in thought as well.
"This … what does this mean?"
Shue Cai was confused.
Seeing that, Rozen first settled Yusha and Agurola, and then said lightly.
"In other words, the so-called black shell didn't seal Holy Annihilation's legacy at the bottom of God Rope Lake, but it was the same as Holy Annihilation's legacy, or rather, Holy Annihilation's legacy was submerged in God Rope Lake from the beginning, and it has been there for a long time."
That's right.
That was the true body of the black shell.
"I'm afraid that Holy Annihilation's legacy that was sunk to the bottom of Divine Rope Lake was not sealed, but fell into a state of hibernation, and it has never been able to wake up. It's only relying on the black shell to protect it from being stolen."
Rozen turned his head and looked at Amaterasu.
"In addition, the black shell should have another role, which is to awaken the thing it protects."
That was the true role of the black shell.
Amaterasu nodded solemnly.
"If I'm not mistaken, Black Shell has always been absorbing knowledge from the witches who have been sacrificed to it. It's just like a plant that is pollinated by insects. When it has accumulated enough knowledge and found the right time, it will break and let the thing inside come out."
For the black shell, the sacrifices that the Kamuto Shrine had been offering were not sacrifices to strengthen the seal, but nourishment to accelerate the awakening of the disaster.
What the black shell sought was not spiritual power, but knowledge.
The Kamuto Shrine was wrong from the beginning, and the Lion King Agency's strategy was also wrong from the beginning.
They wanted to seal the Holy Annihilation's legacy by using Agurola's characteristics, but they didn't know that Agurola's accumulated knowledge from a long time ago awakened the disaster.
Really …
"Trying to steal a chicken only to end up shorn, Lion King Agency."
Rozen said sarcastically, which made Amaterasu gritted her teeth helplessly.
It could be said that she had to take full responsibility for this incident.
Whether it was the awakening of the disaster or the huge loss of the Kamuto Shrine, Amaterasu alone had to take responsibility.
Many members of the Self-Defense Forces had also been sacrificed. Even Azusa Shindaraji and Okiyama Kagakure, who had accompanied them to the ceremony, had been snatched away by the Wasp Snakes one after another after their black shells shattered and the Wasp Snakes surged out. Since they weren't armed, they were thrown into the swarm of Wasp Snakes.
"How …"
"I see …"
Wei Li and Shisu didn't know what to say.
"Really …"
Xiao Feisha let out a long sigh.
But Rozen, Watra, and Iblisbell were indifferent as if it had nothing to do with them.
Compared to the Lion King Mechanism that deserved it, they were more concerned about other things.
That was …
"In the end, what is the Holy Annihilation's legacy sleeping in the God Rope Lake?"
That was all Iblisbell wanted to know.
"It can't be the Wasp Snakes, right?" Watra also smiled with his eyes closed and said leisurely: "Although it can be called a disaster after accumulating a certain amount, it's far from enough to be related to the Holy Annihilation."
That's it.
In the end, what was the Holy Annihilation's legacy in the God Rope Lake?
No, that should be the question.
"In addition to the Wasp Snakes, what is the thing that appeared from the bottom of the God Rope Lake?"
Rozen asked straightforwardly.
