"Did you know about the Witch Church and still not prepare for them?"
Tao Yu asked curiously.
The Witch Church couldn't keep concentrating its forces like this all the time. Otherwise, with their ability to move around at will and no roots or vulnerabilities of their own, they would have thrown everything into chaos long ago.
When the Pioneer Zone here was first established, even Saint Ou wasn't around. If they were only after a surprise attack on the teleportation device, the Homunculus would have been enough.
"We were prepared, of course. We've been entangled with the Witch Church for years. Back then, Saint Cheng personally pursued them, but the Demonesses' methods are all rather strange, and they're exceptionally good at staying alive. In the end, he could only gravely injure one of them. After that pursuit, they all became more low-key..."
Hearing Tao Yu's question, Saint Ou gave him the courtesy of a patient answer.
Although Tao Yu had yet to undergo another ascension through the Kabbalah Tree of Life, obtaining the Rinnegan had still raised his normal level of existence.
Even if his aura was slightly weaker than Saint Ou's and the Sage of Six Paths', he was still on their level.
At a time like this, Saint Ou would do his best to win over allies.
Abyss fragments were endless, and there were plenty of forces among the various natives, their own organizations, and even the Abyss demons.
Pioneers were here to survive, not to conquer the entire universe, so they naturally couldn't wipe out everything they came across.
As long as you were strong enough, you could compromise and maintain a tacit understanding and balance with others.
In fact, there were countless Pioneer Zones that had been wiped out for no apparent reason!
