The gods and demons actually won the final victory?
Did they use their so-called final strength to annihilate the [ Defiler ]?
In other words, the guardian gods and demons, and the invaders [ the Defiler ], perished together, while only Human Clan benefited from the war, gaining access to the entire continent, a space for development free from the enslavement of other races, and ultimately becoming the dominant species on that continent?
This answer is completely inconsistent with the information Sun Fei had previously obtained.
Whom should we believe?
To be honest, Sun Fei didn't completely trust Stábile.
After all, there was a lot of evidence pointing to the answer left by Pope Zhong Dajun of the Beast God Temple, which is why Sun Fei has always regarded the [ Defiler ] as a terrible enemy in the future. Is it possible that he would change his mind just because of a few words from an old pope who has been dead for eight hundred years?
That's unlikely!
"Please forgive my intrusion, Your Majesty, could you provide some evidence? For example..." Sun Fei frowned and said, "You must understand, this matter is no simple one; it concerns the survival of the entire continent. The evidence I obtained earlier indicates that the [ Defiler ] have not perished. On the contrary, they are lurking in the shadows, waiting for the harvest to gather, and then they will suddenly descend, bringing slaughter and destruction!"
Sun Fei's words rang clearly in everyone's ears.
All the powerful figures paled, their hearts pounding wildly.
If these words came from anyone else, they would be met with scorn, and even the existence of the [ Defiler ] would be severely questioned. But now, when Stábile a secret from a thousand years ago, and then the [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ] speaks of this impending catastrophe, anyone with a brain understands the importance of this matter.
If there truly exists a " Defiler " capable of destroying even the gods and demons, then the current Human Clan is likely doomed to destruction.
Everyone was watching Stábile, hoping the old pope could produce some convincing evidence.
"Of course," Stábile a smile under everyone's gaze, "I also know the importance of this matter and I would never speak carelessly."
After he finished speaking, he waved.
The Holy Church's Flying Temple slowly approached, its doors opened, and an elderly priest of extremely high status carefully carried a golden rune box out.
Behind the old master were six divine knights, all of whom had reached the level of gods, carrying something resembling a giant crystal coffin as they slowly walked out of the temple.
Everyone's attention immediately focused on the giant crystal coffin at the back.
This is a massive coffin, over thirty meters long, ten meters wide, and about twenty meters high. It is made entirely of top-quality crystal, its dreamlike colors shimmering in the sunlight. Through the transparent material, one can see that a huge monster is contained within.
Its bluish-gray, metallic-looking bone shell is covered with marble-like patterns, while the serrated edges of its bones are as chilling as a cold, sharp saw. The towering Bone Spike and five or six pairs of long, bony legs are comparable to divine weapons. Its streamlined body seems to have been born specifically for killing.
This is an absolutely hideous monster.
However, the people in the surrounding void and even on the ground were all among the strongest on this continent, so they could naturally see how terrifying this bluish-gray monster was in battle.
Sun Fei almost spat out his drink.
What the hell!
This is... an insect?
The Insect Race from the science fiction movie [ Starship Troopers ]?
Those monsters, countless in number, constantly emerging from beneath the barren surface of planets, flooding human bases and fleets like tidal waves, and even capable of flying in the vacuum of space?
Is this what they call a " Defiler "?
Are you kidding me?
"This is the body of a low-level Defiler, one of the pieces of evidence preserved by the Church, kept on Holy Mountain Sicily Island for over a thousand years," Stábile, looking at the insect's body. "It was this kind of killing monster that destroyed the civilization of gods and demons. What you see here is just a low-level [ Defiler ]. Its strength is roughly equivalent to a three- or four- Star Class human martial artist. In that war, there were over a trillion such [ Defiler ]."
Trillions?
Everyone gasped.
Indeed, a mere three- or four- Star Class Dou Qi monster is not terrifying; what is terrifying is the inexhaustible number of them. Even a God King would eventually be defeated and forced to flee after exhausting his divine power when faced with trillions of monsters that fearlessly charge forward without fear of death.
Seeing the shock in everyone's eyes, Stábile continued, "And the [ Defiler ] aren't just composed of these low-level monsters. Above them, there are at least twenty higher-level [ Defiler ], each with different forms and powers. Some can even spew out lightning, fire, magma, and even ice, freezing Demon God. What's even more terrifying is that these [ Defiler ] have an extremely rapid growth rate. Given enough corpses, blood, or energy, even the lowest-level [ Defiler ] can grow into a monster comparable to a god within just one month."
How is that possible?
Everyone around was stunned.
In just one month, he went from a three- or four- Star Class monster to a god?
joke?
This is simply breaking the fundamental laws governing the realm of martial arts power!
Even Alexander, the so-called greatest martial arts prodigy of the millennium and the [ Human Emperor of the Northern Region ], took four or five years to evolve from a lowly martial artist to a God King. How could an ordinary [ Defiler ] surpass the greatest genius in human history in terms of evolution speed and degree?
Just thinking about the implications of this sends chills down everyone's spine.
"It's precisely because of the [ Defiler '] ugly appearance that, initially, when these invaders descended from the sky and appeared on the continent through spatial Teleport channels, neither the gods nor the demons paid them any attention, regarding them as insects and beasts. But once these creatures truly grew up, even the Magic City couldn't control the situation." Stábile shook his head and sighed, "They are truly a terrifying species, born for slaughter and power."
By this time, everyone around was already convinced that these [ Defiler ] truly possessed the power and ability to destroy the civilization of gods and demons.
"Everyone can take a look at these." Stábile took the crimson rune chest from the elderly priest and retrieved a pale red scroll from it.
