As soon as the authoritative and indifferent voice was uttered, everyone in the palace fell silent. Some people even went weak in the knees and prostrated themselves on the ground to express their respect.
A person dressed in a dark red robe walked up to the high platform. His steps remained slow and unhurried, as if everything was under his control.
Judging from His voice just now, it seemed that there was still some anger in it.
"I never expected that you would misjudge the strength of humanity so greatly. Greedy Wolf, your prophecy is still behind the times." He stepped onto the stage, and behind the pure white mask, his clear eyes looked at the trembling old man below the stage: "I lent you my power, but you completely misjudged the strength of humanity."
“My lord…” The man known as Greedy Wolf prostrated himself on the ground, his goatee peeking out from under his hood, trembling with his trembling.
“I’ll give you a chance to explain.” He sat in the main seat, looking down at everything below.
"Indeed, those five knights who suddenly appeared are too strong. The strength of the five knights selected by humans has exceeded the power I predicted." Greed Wolf's voice trembled.
He lent him some power, saying that the Five Horsemen's strength exceeded the power of prophecy, which was actually a disguised way of saying that His support was insufficient.
However, even Greedy Wolf had to admit that it might anger the person above him.
“Indeed, humans certainly have many minds.” He wasn’t angry, sitting in the main seat, his emotions unreadable: “In your opinion, what should we do?”
"My lord, I think we should give chase," Tanlang said in a low voice.
"Pursue? Are you kidding me? We're already badly weakened."
"With such heavy snow now, going out would weaken our strength and be disadvantageous to us as well."
Upon hearing this, the room erupted in chatter, with some of the monsters immediately jumping out to object.
"I think it's a good idea. It's not good for us, but it's more harmful to humans. We are actually more resistant to wind and snow."
"Moreover, we only lost two powerful individuals, but humanity must be severely weakened. According to the information from our undercover agents, many people are unable to leave their homes due to the recent funerals."
"That's right. Humans are much more fragile than us. The unfinished Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse already seriously injured the two human knights, and now they have to rely on other knights for support."
"When the time comes, as long as we keep these human knights occupied, dealing with the rest of the humans will be more than enough. They're just stronger than humans."
Some of the monsters, however, expressed their agreement.
"Lu Cun, what do you think?" A woman asked her companion with a smile, resting her chin on her hand. Her bright red lips and scarlet nails stood out against the darkness on the half of her face that was exposed.
"That depends on what the master thinks, Lian Zhen." Lu Cun sat on a chair to the side.
He sat quietly in his chair the whole time, his long, smooth hair falling over his shoulders, and a small beauty mark at the corner of his right eye, but his face was expressionless.
"Hmm, Lu Cun, isn't it a bit inappropriate to play those human Tai Chi tricks at a time like this?" Lian Zhen leaned slightly forward: "As humans, can't we even exchange opinions?"
“My opinion is not important.” Lu Cun glanced at Lian Zhen sideways: “Of course I think it’s not a good idea to pursue them now.”
"Oh dear, Lu Cun, are you feeling sorry for humans?" Lian Zhen suddenly leaned closer: "You seem to have always disagreed with our option of sending troops to attack humans, always voting against it. Is it because you want to give humans enough room to grow?"
"Are you a traitor?" Lian Zhen chuckled.
“...Your votes in favor have indeed had a good effect.” Lu Cun retorted sarcastically, “If it weren’t for radicals like you, we would be even stronger now. I really miss the lineup we had before we voted.”
"Hmph." Lian Zhen's face darkened, and he simply stopped talking.
"Lu Cun, what's your opinion?" He suddenly spoke, and the palace fell silent in an instant.
Lu Cun was taken aback, not expecting this official to suddenly mention him. He immediately got down from his seat, prostrated himself on the ground, and bowed respectfully.
“I don’t think this is a good idea. We need to recuperate. Wenqu and Jumen have already caused enough trouble. Not only did they not cause the desired damage to humanity, but they also caused us losses.” Lu Cun said respectfully, “It would be better to integrate our forces and unleash our true strength.”
"My lord, but I heard from the undercover agent that humans are also using this time to recuperate and rebuild. Human superhumans are progressing too fast." Greedy Wolf immediately objected: "Yesterday we received information from the undercover agent that ordinary human superhumans, with their cooperation, are now able to completely defeat the War Knights."
“The War Knights are dead, how can they possibly win?” Lian Zhen exclaimed in surprise.
"Humans have invented AI brain-computer interfaces. I don't know how they simulated the teaching of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the female knight from the Flame Dragon Kingdom. In just one week, those superhumans who were crushed by the giant gate have successfully defeated the War Knights!" Greedy Wolf reported loudly.
"Human progress and environmental adaptation are happening too fast. At this rate, we are actually at a great disadvantage!"
Upon hearing this, the palace erupted in chaos once more, and the monsters who had initially been skeptical were now filled with panic.
"What? How is that possible? Why is human progress happening so fast?"
"My informant in Wilren said that Wilren's knight Helmod has recovered. Even in this heavy snow, he can still lead an exploration team to explore outside. Several laboratories have been temporarily evacuated. If this continues, our space will only get smaller and smaller."
"They also absorbed the crystal core of the Apocalypse Knight, so their strength might increase significantly. At that time..."
【Quiet---】
He spoke again, and the monsters in the palace fell silent once more.
“I don’t need advice, I need solutions.” He waved his hand, seemingly a little impatient: “The development of the most perfect virus is not yet in its final stage. Even if we know the formula through prophecy, it will still require many trials.”
"My lord, shall I go?" Lian Zhen stood up from her seat. She was as soft as a feather, and even though she was covered in a cloak, it could not hide her soft and charming body.
He said, "Speak."
“The pivot represents the heavens, the celestial sphere the earth, the celestial sphere the people, the celestial sphere the time, the celestial sphere the sound, the celestial sphere the law, and the celestial sphere the stars.” Lian Zhen chuckled: “As the Jade Balance, I am skilled in music and music. I am perfectly suited to blend into the wind and snow. Without a single soldier, I can make humanity lose its fighting spirit. As long as we reduce their numbers, the subsequent war will be a piece of cake.”
“It’s a good idea, but not enough.” He shook his head: “Judging from the current performance of the Yanlong Kingdom’s Doomsday Bidding, your musical scales cannot break through; they can only affect ordinary people and cannot harm the root of the problem.”
"Wuqu, Pojun, go and help." He commanded loudly, "Tanlang, I am borrowing your power again. You will still use language to help Milica's laboratory complete the next experiment."
"Yes." Tanlang got up from the ground.
At His command, three people emerged from the shadows.
Kaiyang is a pair of stars, a man and a woman holding hands, they step in sync, tilt their heads in sync, as if they were one person.
Po Jun was completely covered in black armor, and you could vaguely see black energy emanating from the armor. It was impossible to tell whether he was dead or alive, only a chilling aura emanating from his body.
