Crayfish Douluo Although he was temporarily shocked by the grand "God's Chess Game" theory, the stubbornness in his nature and his keenness for details were not completely concealed. After the initial shock and confusion, a question quietly came to his mind.
He furrowed his thick eyebrows and took another step forward. This time his voice was no longer passionate, but filled with a kind of confusion after deep thought, "High Priest, you said that Kraken is a test of God. This subordinate... will be taught for the time being. But I still don't know something."
High Priest's eyes turned to him again, with a hint of tiredness from being interrupted, but also a hint of appreciation for the newcomer Sacred Pillar's willingness to think, "Speak."
Crayfish Douluo considered the words and glanced at the other Sacred Pillar present, especially the "veteran" Coral Douluo, Sea Swallow, and Conch Douluo: "I have heard that in the deep sea, any powerful Sea Soul Beast who is accomplished in cultivation and can dominate a party, regardless of his or her abilities. Whether you live alone or in groups, over the long years, more or less, you will always form your own group, or at least have people of the same race to follow and depend on you. Even if Evil Spirit Orca has a group, even those Ferocious Beast who live alone, there are always traces of blood inheritance. But this Kraken..."
He paused, and his eyes became even more confused. "In the past thousands of years, all the records, encounters, and battles about him only mentioned that he was alone! There has never been any record of his kind, dependents, or even servants! A top-notch Ferocious Beast with more than twenty Ten-Thousand-Year, how can he be alone and entangled with me, Sea God Island, for thousands of years? This... is unreasonable. Unless... his racial characteristic is absolute loneliness, or... he has no kin at all?"
After this question was thrown, the atmosphere in the side hall condensed slightly. Dolphin Douluo and Leaf Sheep Douluo also looked thoughtful. Yes, as powerful as Evil Orca King, he also has a tribe under his command, and Demon Soul Great White Shark has a huge tribe. Why is Kraken always alone?
High Priest was silent for a moment, seeming to be recalling the relevant ancient records. Finally, he slowly shook his head, his voice carrying a hint of uncertainty and the mistiness of ancient legends. "About this matter... I have only seen sporadic speculations from some extremely ancient, even incomplete, ancestors' manuscripts.
It is said that... thousands of years ago, not long after Kraken began to harass the outskirts of our Holy Land, our ancestors at that time also explored its origins. There are vague clues pointing out that the ethnic group to which Kraken belongs, somewhere in the deep sea, seemed to have been a strong ethnic group."
"It seems?" Crayfish Douluo asked.
"It just 'seems'." High Priest emphasized, "Because there is no conclusive evidence. What's even more puzzling is that some ancestors speculated based on the traces left on some battlefields and certain Devouring characteristics exhibited by Kraken... That possible ethnic group, its demise, is most likely related to... Kraken himself."
"It has something to do with him?!" Crayfish Douluo's pupils shrank.
"That's right." High Priest's voice was lowered, as if telling a taboo guess, "Kraken's growth trajectory and strength improvement speed are, at some stages, extremely fast. Combined with the ability Devouring Soul Power it has demonstrated, The strange abilities of E and Life Origin... Some ancestors boldly speculated that he might... Devouring, Origin who merged with his own clan, or even... the entire clan!
In this way, he gained terrifying power and strange characteristics that surpassed those of the same level in a short period of time, but because of this... he became a 'lonely man' in the true sense. This may also explain why he is so obsessed with attacking, Devouring the powerful Soul Master and Soul Beast, whose power Origin may have been based on this kind of plunder and fusion."
Crayfish Douluo took a breath and finally stopped talking. If this is true, then this Kraken is not only powerful and cunning, but also a completely crazy predator with no bottom line! If you are an enemy of such a being, any negligence may lead to disaster.
Dolphin Douluo and Ye Yang also turned pale, obviously frightened by this possibility.
However, just when everyone was shocked by High Priest's dark speculation, Coral Douluo and Sea Swallow Douluo, who were standing aside, had extremely subtle and complex changes in their eyes with their lowered eyes.
Devouring is of the same race? Alone? They know better than anyone else that Kraken is by no means alone! Behind him, there is a bottomless terrifying force!
In the Sea Swallow Family, they know that Kraken can mobilize many Sea Soul Beast who are "Intelligence Awakening" and are not weak in strength to obey his orders.
In the Coral Family's absolutely Concealment forbidden area, they saw with their own eyes that Kraken discussed plans with the supreme Demon Empress, and were surrounded by unfathomable guards like Tieshan and Mo Yuan!
Even inside the Sea Turtle Family, which seems low-key and is famous for its defense, they also know that there are strong guards called "Left Guard" and "Right Guard"!
Kraken clearly has a huge, Concealment, hierarchical network of deep-sea forces! What kind of "lone king" is he? He is clearly the chess player and commander in this dark empire, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people!
Wait!
A detail that they had ignored before suddenly flashed through their minds like lightning!
Demon Empress and left Right Guard... are Deep Sea Demon Whale!
Sea Swallow Family Those in the network do what Soul Beast... are diverse, but it seems...
Coral Family The strong man who appeared in the forbidden land... is not!
They quickly recalled all the power components they knew related to Kraken. After looking through them all, it turned out that none of them were the same race as Kraken - not even the similar octopus and squid-like high-level Soul Beast! It was as if this race had completely "disappeared" within the sphere of influence of Kraken!
This discovery made two undercover agents Sacred Pillar feel a chill in their hearts at the same time. High Priest's ancient speculation about "the same race as Devouring", at this moment, had a vague overlap with the strange phenomenon in front of them!
Could it be that... that is not a groundless speculation? Could it be that the source of Kraken's power is really related to the demise of his kindred? That's why he has no kindred people under his command, because he... doesn't allow his kindred to exist at all? Or, his kindred people have already become part of his power?
This thought was so horrifying that it even shook their absolute obedience to that "adult" deep in their hearts. How cold and unpredictable must be the temperament of a ruler who could attack his own people? What do these "chess pieces" mean to the other side in the eyes of the other party? Are they Devouring's "materials" that can be sacrificed at any time?
In the side hall, the new Sacred Pillars were frightened by the dark speculation of "the same kind of Devouring". However, the two undercover Sacred Pillars who knew more about the inside story fell deeper into the chill and suspicion of Ice Seal's souls because of the strange coincidence between this speculation and reality.
High Priest looked at the different expressions on everyone's faces, thinking that his explanation had served as a warning and a deterrent, and said slowly, "No matter what its origin is, whether it is a trial of God, or a demon of Devouring's own race, Kraken is our Sea God Island's formidable enemy. You all need to be vigilant at all times and work hard to improve in order to cope with all changes."
"I will obey the decree of High Priest!" Everyone agreed in unison, but the emotions in their voices were complicated and difficult to understand.
