Gods!
Baird could not help taking a step back.
Gods were invincible! This was practically an ironclad law for mortals!
"Yes, a god—and one split directly from the Creator Himself! That would also explain the ambiguous attitude of the orthodox Churches and the Evil Gods..."
Scholar sighed. "Otherwise, no matter which side helped us, our situation would be much better..."

Baird's eyes were bloodshot. "If they want to destroy humanity, then even if it's a god, we must slaughter it!"
"It's too difficult..."
Scholar shook his head. "Unless humanity gives birth to another new god..."

"We still have a chance. That being's rate of attack is very slow..."

"Furthermore... that being has rarely acted personally lately, and the operations to hunt Void Demon Spirits around the perimeter have succeeded as well... As long as we can gain sufficient strength, we can restrain it."
Baird's thoughts raced.
At that moment, a messenger entered and handed Baird a document. "Urgent dispatch."

In the past, this would have been almost impossible. Leaving aside the issue of sharing power and other concerns, merely having all ordinary people stop working could have caused society to collapse.
But those considerations were no longer necessary.
All work had been taken over by humanoid golems. Humans only needed to cultivate and continuously advance in order
