"Demon God Pillars...?"
Everyone present fell into thought.
Olga Marie in particular had a far more complicated expression than the others.
After all, the technician she had trusted most in the past, Leff Lynor, who had been active since her father's time and held a considerable position in Chaldea, was actually one of the Demon God Pillars.
Leff Lenore Flauros—that was the true name of the man who had designed Chaldea, bombed all of Chaldea's Master candidates to the brink of death, and even blown Olga Marie to death, leaving her with no choice but to become nothing more than an evil spirit.
"Although Leff Lenore Flauros was destroyed by you in the First Singularity, that doesn't mean he can't appear again."
Roman's warning was unusually solemn.
"The so-called 'Seventy-Two Demon Gods' are a concept in themselves. Like Tiamat's 'Eleven Beasts' or Queen Medb's 'Twenty-Eight Warriors,' they have long since become a collective entity. Unless all of them are destroyed at once, the concept underlying them will allow them to maintain a certain number indefinitely. They won't truly disappear."
Just like Medb, who could use the Holy Grail to create the Twenty-Eight Warriors and maintain the number at "twenty-eight" no matter what. It could neither increase nor decrease. This was a concept and meaning established by the legends and anecdotes surrounding them. No matter how much magical energy she had, if she wanted to create the Twenty-Eight Warriors, there would definitely be twenty-eight of them, never twenty-nine.
The same applied to Tiamat's Eleven Beasts. They were destined to consist of eleven kinds of beasts. If one tried to mass-produce them, they would end up like the beasts created by Gorgon, with their performance drastically reduced. Even the beasts Tiamat herself could create, those capable of rivaling the gods as described
