Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 826 247 Hassaka: At Least Hold on Until You Don't Cry Out Loud (10K)_3

"The way you put it, I'm even more curious now... but never mind, knowing this is of no use to me. As long as you, my Lord, can ensure enough secrecy, that's all that matters."

Dr. Osborne, somewhat troubled, touched his increasingly thinning hair, suddenly feeling the relentless passage of time.

When did he first realize that he was already old?

"Back to that matter... What was the goblin empire thinking back then?"

"Being attacked by the forces on the side of the deities was indeed something foreseen long ago." Dr. Osborne sighed.

"How do you mean?" Kael's interest was piqued.

"My Lord, do you believe in deities?"

"Whether I believe in deities depends on their usefulness. If they're useful, what's the harm in saying so?

If they're not, then what's the need for me to believe?

You can't just say it's because some Church nuns' outfits are particularly enticing and then join that deity's ranks, trying to die in the presence of a nun, can you?"

"You… I have no response. Did Dr. Zack ever talk to you about the 'Continent's Doom Prophecy'?"

"The Continent's Doom Prophecy?" Kael frowned.

"It's what we once calculated using the central intelligent brain, comparing the development speed of the continent with that of the divine realms. At the earliest, it could be seven to eight hundred years, and at the latest, only around twelve hundred or thirteen hundred years...

The entire continent united would probably not even be able to kill the weakest deity."

"I vaguely heard him mention it." Kael frowned tightly. At that time, he wasn't worrying about such things, as such matters were not for an ordinary lord like him to think about.

Of course, there might have been some element of self-avoidance involved.

After all, bringing up this topic was just too heavy.

"Did Dr. Zack ever say why he came to this conclusion?"

Kael shook his head and said, "No, I didn't delve further at the time."

"Because of the Dungeon..."

Dr. Osborne sighed and said:

"You heard right, it's because of the Dungeons. Unlike the many nations on the continent, the divine realms are filled with the power of the deities. This power can easily destroy the formation of Dungeons.

This means that the creatures in divine realms don't need, like the many nations on the continent, a large number of adventurers to protect their lands.

On one hand, to expand territories, the many nations of the continent are forced to repeatedly deploy large forces into the Dungeons.

Wherever there's battle, there will certainly be sacrifices.

Over time, the number of professionals consumed by the Dungeons undoubtedly becomes astronomical.

Meanwhile, without additional battle consumption in the divine realms, their accumulation speed only increases, faster and faster...

The final result would surely lead the burdens outside the divine realms to far exceed what they could originally bear.

And the divine realms, free from the causality of Dungeons, would continue growing stronger as time passes."

Dr. Osborne's expression looked so serious that Kael didn't even notice that they had somehow arrived at the outer circle of Wandong City.

"So, the ultimate result is the growing gap between the forces of the continent and the deities, and eventually, all forces combined might not even match the weakest of the deities?

Crossing the checkpoint at Wandong City's outer circle, Kael seemed to understand the worries in these people's hearts.

More terrifying is that this worry could indeed be real.

For in Kael's memory, back when he was still a player, even after a nearly century-long development period for players (including time gaps brought by version upgrades), there was still no talk of a true 'God Slayer' having emerged on the Shining Continent.

Even artifacts like the Godslayer Artifact were merely tools fought over by major nations.

Put it on a player, and they'd surely start their own 'God-Slaying War' with reluctance.

Are you kidding? Who trained you to act like that?

If you have the guts, expose your health bar and see if we don't skin you alive or split your head open!

With such thoughts in mind, the Fourth Calamities went on spreading fearlessly across the continent, and later even developed into a force that the natives were unwilling to face directly.

Especially those top guilds that gathered professional players and casual players, which, like a porcupine, were not to be trifled with.

Just look at the Demigod Bone Eater Duke with whom Kael had once crossed paths in his previous life.

In the current version, aside from a few natives who interact more with players, you'd rarely find anyone like the Bone Eater Duke who would bother to remember players' nicknames.

Even when Kael slaughtered his eternal army in the past life, he directly cursed him:

"Puppet, are you going to be my enemy?"

Is it because these natives were bored and had nothing better to do than collect information on professional players?

Clearly not. It was only because the players became so strong later on that even the Bone Eater Duke had no choice but to take them seriously, that's all.
