Martin suddenly laughed out loud, and the laughter echoed in the silent hall, with a hint of sarcasm. "I was wondering why you guys suddenly came here. So you planned to play the trick of 'capture the leader first'?"
"You guys really do trample on the rules you set as you please, trampling them underfoot and placing yourself above them. Don't you feel particularly refreshed?"
"By the way, where's the Great Elder? Where is he? If it weren't for his kindness, I would have led the troops to attack long ago. The four of you are nothing but clowns."
Hill hesitated for a moment, her lips moving slightly, as if she was about to tell him about the Great Elder, but Perron immediately gave her a stern look and stopped her.
Seeing this, Martin's heart tightened, and he thought to himself: Could something have happened to the Great Elder? Is he being put in solitary confinement? But thinking about it carefully, it seemed unlikely.
Even if those plane cores are not something the Great Elder can dispose of at will, given the Great Elder's prestige in the Sky City, at most he would be criticized and reported, and the punishment would not be too severe, so he should be given a lenient sentence.
Hill was struggling internally. She knew very well that there were invaders from outside the plane, and her own camp should not waste its combat power due to internal strife.
She noticed Martin White's inquiring gaze, but chose to avoid it and did not respond.
Martin saw this and immediately turned his gaze to Percy.
"Master President, I believe you know exactly what happened. Was the Great Elder punished or put in solitary confinement?"
Percy hadn't expected Martin White to suddenly ask him a question, and was momentarily stunned. However, he quickly reacted and said, "Your Majesty, you must be joking. The Great Elder was indeed punished. But just before leaving to receive his punishment, the Great Elder realized that he had an opportunity for a breakthrough, so he decided to practice in seclusion, and the punishment was subsequently rescinded."
After hearing this, Martin had a mocking smile on his face. He was about to make a few sarcastic remarks when the communication crystal vibrated rapidly.
Martin quickly answered the call and laughed out loud as he listened to the dragon rider's report.
After hanging up, he quickly sent a message to the three high-ranking Dragon Knights stationed in the imperial capital, led by Alton, and ordered in a firm tone, "Reach the coast immediately. No need to take any prisoners this time. Kill them all. I want them all to feed the fish in the sea!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone and threw the communication crystal on the table.
He looked down at the crowd below again and laughed again, muttering, "You're quite calculating. If that's the case, the four of you can forget about staying in this world. When the Great Elder comes out of seclusion, I'll explain everything to him personally. You can all go on your journey with peace of mind."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Perron and the other four immediately fled in panic.
The four planetary dragon knights looked at Martin, and Martin nodded slightly. Then they chased after him like arrows.
In the blink of an eye, only Hill and Percy were left in the throne room.
Martin looked at Percy with a serious expression, "Okay, now that everyone else is gone, Percy, I'm going to ask you directly, is the Great Elder really in seclusion?"
"He used secret techniques to ascend to the rank of Upper God. How could he possibly be promoted to Planetary level so soon? You're treating him like a fool."
Percy hadn't expected Martin to know so much about the Great Elder. He felt a little flustered, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. What you said is complete nonsense. I don't know which unreliable person spread this rumor from."
"The Great Elder was promoted to the Upper God through his own unremitting efforts. He recently gained some insights, so he plans to strive for the planetary level."
After hearing this, Martin sneered and said slowly: "What if I said that this was told to me by the Great Elder himself?"
Percy was speechless and didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, Hill next to him suddenly whispered, "The Great Elder committed suicide."
When Martin heard this, he stood up suddenly and said loudly in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
But then, he recalled his previous conversation with the Great Elder and the details of the contract signing, and slowly sat back down.
"I really didn't expect the Great Elder to commit suicide. Given his beliefs, this is simply impossible."
Martin had indeed never thought about it in this regard before. After all, in his heart, the Great Elder always regarded protecting the plane as more important than his own life. How could such a person choose to commit suicide?
"Um?"
Martin seemed to have suddenly thought of something. His expression froze. He raised his head, looked straight at Percy, and asked, "What stage has the Divine Evil Experiment reached now?"
After Percy's eyes met Martin's briefly, he immediately lowered his head guiltily, closed his lips tightly, and said nothing.
"Percy, you'd better understand that if I want you to talk, I have many ways to do it. Now I'm just giving you a chance to tell the truth."
"I promise you, as long as what you say is true, I will let you go immediately and will not make things difficult for you."
When Percy heard this, he hesitated for a moment, looked up at Martin White, then turned his gaze to Hill, and finally slowly opened his mouth and told the truth.
"Now, the experiment on divine monsters has entered the second stage, and we can mass-produce lower-level divine monsters. In very rare cases, middle-level divine monsters can appear. As long as we continue to increase investment, I believe we can cultivate planet-level divine monsters." Percy said.
Martin didn't care about this and asked, "How many people were used in the experiment?"
Percy fell silent again. Martin slammed the table and shouted, "Speak! Are you mute?"
Percy shuddered with fear, and finally said helplessly, "After improvements, each time a lower-level god or evil is produced, it consumes..."
At this point, he looked at Hill again, and finally made up his mind. He said, "We need to consume 300,000 people. These people are all slaves from the two continents and the Northern Continent."
When Hill heard this, her face turned pale. She couldn't imagine that so many people would be used.
She grabbed Percy in disbelief and demanded, "Why would it consume so much?"
Percy was also desperate at this point, and said nonchalantly, "What do you think? To give birth to a divine evil, a massive amount of plane curses is required. Ordinary curses are completely useless. Only curses that reach the plane level can give rise to a divine evil."
