Chapter 1184: Chapter 1171: The Evil God Can’t Possibly Be This Stupid Chapter 1184: Chapter 1171: The Evil God Can’t Possibly Be This Stupid “Didn’t you just say that you wouldn’t interfere with natural evolution? Why are you reminding me now because of a so-called crisis?” Karor asked very calmly.

“Because of the impending destruction, the crisis facing humanity does not fall within the category of natural evolution. It is a Subordinate Army sent by an existence at my level.

As for how strong they are, you can use your current strength as a reference. Your strength could barely qualify you to join my Subordinate Army and become a lowliest Dragonkin soldier,”
“…” Karor fell silent for a moment, then slowly began, “I dare not claim to be the strongest among humans, but I dare say that I have a place among the strongest of them. Am I just barely qualified to join your Subordinate Army?”

“Correct.”

“If that’s the case, then there is no need to inform me. If there really is such a terrifying power determined to destroy humanity, without the help of an existence like you, humanity is doomed to extinction.”

“Don’t underestimate yourself. You may not realize the potential you hold, but I am all too aware of it. The emotions you burst forth with touched even me, wandering in the Void.

Moreover, the power I’ve granted you, you haven’t even begun to unearth its true attributes. Therefore, you can become stronger, strong enough to influence the destiny of human civilization.”

“Do you have a grudge against that transcendent existence who wishes to destroy us humans?” Karor suddenly asked.

“Smart girl. Indeed, in a sense, I consider him my mortal enemy. Until now, it has been one-sided on my part, while that individual has yet to realize it.”

“You simply don’t like that existence and thus oppose him?” Karor pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, discovering that the being who seemed so transcendent in her eyes hardly concealed their emotions and was quite direct.

“If that’s how you wish to understand it, then so be it. He is an Evil God who wanders the Void, sustaining himself on the destruction of worlds, gnawing on the remnants left by their destruction.

Since our choices of paths directly clash, I consider him an enemy. Of course, that’s not the only reason. I loathe his acts of destroying worlds.”

“So you’re going to help us humans fight the Evil God?” Karor asked cautiously, hope flickering in her eyes.

“Indeed, on this matter, I will help you, but primarily it is up to you. The merging of two worlds brings forth more than just an Evil God, so I won’t engage him in direct confrontation.”

“How could we humans possibly confront them? You’ve said it yourself, I’m not even fit to be a common soldier in the Subordinate Army, and the vast majority of humans could not match my current strength.”

“Do not belittle your race, nor the Evil Spirits that you are currently fighting against.”

“What do you mean?”

“Under the threat of a powerful external enemy, even those who were originally mortal foes will sometimes form temporary alliances to fight the common threat and continue to survive.”

“Are you suggesting that we humans ally with those monsters that devour and slaughter humans?”

“I am merely presenting a possibility. How the future unfolds depends on your own choices and has nothing to do with me.”

“Humans will never ally with those monsters.”

“Don’t speak so absolutely. Although these Evil Spirits have caused rather severe casualties among your race due to the merging of worlds, these casualties are merely severe tragedies to humanity. So far, no human has worried that these monsters could annihilate your species.

These Evil Spirits can’t do it, but the Evil God’s Subordinate Army has the power to wipe out your human civilization. Even if they cannot make humans disappear from the world, they can collapse the order of your civilization and send humanity back to a primitive state.

To ensure the continuity of civilization, setting aside racial hostilities temporarily is a wise choice. Dwelling on past enmities will only lead to the destruction of your own race.”

“But isn’t there your help?”

“Don’t rely on me. I am an entity that travels freely within the Void, unrelated to your world, without cause or obligation. I am not a protector of your race nor a guardian deity of your world, and I have no duty or responsibility to your human civilization.”

“So if we humans want to continue, we must ally with our mortal enemies?”

“As I’ve said, it’s up to your own choices. You might be resistant before seeing the true terror of the Evil God’s Followers, but once you really witness those monsters that disregard the lives of all beings, you might change your mind.”

“How much preparation time do humans still have?”

“Preparation time?” The will descended upon the girl emitted a fluctuation that signified a “light laugh,” “There is none. The moment my will descended upon you, the minions of the evil spirits had already arrived in this world. Perhaps at this very moment, some human city is already under their attack.”

“How should we humans resist?”

“Don’t worry about that, the world has already responded,” the will that descended through the girl, borrowing the faint force inherited from him, could see the indistinct, indescribable light born out of the void around the girl, merging into her body.

“Demons from the void have descended, but heroes within the world have also been nurtured in response.”

“What?” Karor was somewhat confused.

“From today onward, you will experience the most tumultuous period of your life. Remember the peace and tranquility of this moment, for it will become the most beautiful memory in your future.”

“What are you talking about? Why are you speaking so cryptically all of a sudden? Can’t you speak clearly, like you did just now?” A bad premonition rose in Karor’s heart, but since Muria spoke in half truths, her mood became tense.

“You’ve heard the stories of heroes battling Demon Kings, haven’t you? Civilization has evolved to this stage, and there should be no shortage of such tales where righteousness triumphs over evil. Destiny has now descended upon you, you have been chosen, you are to become a hero who combats evil, gaining the power to confront it amid endless calamity.”

The will that had descended suddenly dispersed, scanning the entire region centered on where the girl lived. In an instant, he saw numerous lights of secondary forces derived from source power, “Newborn heroes, prepare to embrace the trials of destiny!”

…

“Tsk, the World Will on the human side has been provoked, and they’re really going all out. Those bursts of secondary source light just now must have consumed two or three standard units of source power. With that kind of expenditure, even a legend could create a batch for emergency purposes in a short time.”

Muria did not recall the part of his will that had descended but used it as an expendable for a brief investigation of the human world’s situation, which turned out better than he had estimated.

“With some standard tactics, there’s a good chance that the entire Evil God’s Followers’ Subordinate Army of the Hundred-Eyed Evil God could be trapped and destroyed within the world. Then, would that Evil God, for the sake of so-called pride, send his army into the world again?”

Muria began to contemplate the possible reactions of the Hundred-Eyed Evil God, “If the first dispatched Subordinate Army gets wiped out, it’s likely they’ll attempt a second time. But if the second also faces annihilation, that cautious Evil God might just leave. However, if they’re not cautious, or too greedy, there’s a chance they’ll attempt a third.”

Commanding the Ghost Fleet that dominated over the seas, a divine aspect of the underworld god fantasized about all the possibilities that might occur in the future. He considered the least likely but most desirable possibility,
“If the majority of the Hundred-Eyed Evil God’s Minions fall within the world, then I may stand a chance to suppress it by force with the power of the World.

However, the likelihood of this happening is too small. How could they be so foolish as to exhaust all of their Minions’ Subordinate Army on issues not related to life and death now that they’ve reached the level of Epics?”

…

“Thirteen coastal port cities were leveled within a single day? No survivors found, only building ruins destroyed by a powerful force?”

When Karor received the top-secret news, available only to the human ruling class, her expression was incredibly grave and sorrowful. Although she had prepared herself, she was still infuriated when disaster struck.

Port cities, usually developed through trade, are populous first-class cities. With the destruction of thirteen port cities and all their residents slaughtered, it means that the death toll surpassed twenty million humans.

“This is an unseen powerful evil spirit…” An Exorcist, upon receiving the news, didn’t hesitate to attribute such a massacre to evil spirits.

“No, this has nothing to do with evil spirits; they don’t have such power. All living creatures in the thirteen port cities and the surrounding towns were slaughtered, all plants withered away. This obviously differs from past special incidents.”

“Karor, isn’t your statement a bit too… um, I mean, other than evil spirits, what else could cause such massive destruction to us humans?”

“Of course, there are.” Karor really wanted to share her conversation with that towering being with the public, but she knew it was useless. Without concrete evidence, and without direct proof, her words could very likely be dismissed as ranting of a lunatic.

“Then what do you think it is?”

“I don’t know what it is, but I request to join the investigation team, tracking down the prime culprit behind such grievous destruction to our human kind.”

Karor stood up, but before she could speak, a disheveled man burst into the conference room, “There’s no need to track them down; those monsters have no intention of hiding or concealing themselves!”
