This was not just a simple summons.
To receive a summons from a saint is an immense honor for any extraordinary being.
Supreme glory!
This glory is equivalent to hearing the divine message of the true God in a glorious era!
The Glorious Age – For hundreds of years, the gods ruled the heavens, and extraordinary beings lived happily under their glory.
In an era when the gods still spread their glory throughout the world, the status of saints was extremely noble.
Below the gods, above all things.
In those times, when the gods did not appear, the saints represented the gods' attitude and spread their voices among all things.
Saints are noble, but they have not actually reached the level they have today.
In the thousand years since the gods disappeared, the status of saints has risen even higher.
Even more distinguished!
The reason behind this is actually quite simple.
Apart from a few long-lived species, for most extraordinary beings, the Sage is the only supreme being they can see during the time from birth to death!
Birth, aging, sickness, and death; the passing of years.
The gods have vanished, and the beings that protect these extraordinary creatures are no longer gods, but saints.
For those extraordinary beings who have never seen a god, a god is more like a symbol representing the highest realm, while a saint is a great being that can be witnessed firsthand!
When the gods are absent, the saints reign supreme!
Saints are sublime beings who sacrificed themselves for their race; they are supreme beings respected by all!
I am flattered and overwhelmed.
Even Cardiso, who was considered insane by everyone, was extremely excited and honored when he received this summons.
The Mind Flayer dared not linger for a moment and immediately responded to the summons to devoutly pay homage to the Saint.
At that time, the ignorant mind flayer was unaware...
Real change is about to happen.
In a secluded sanctuary, Cardiso met the saint.
Everything went exactly as Cardiso had envisioned.
Mysterious, noble, sublime... no words of praise can fully express what it felt when it met the saint.
At that time, it had only one thought in its mind:
"This is a saint!"
With his last doubts dispelled, Cardiso, following the saint's instructions, began to recount everything that had happened to him, revealing everything without reservation.
There is no need to hide anything, because no secret can be hidden from the saints, who will see through all secrets.
Moreover, Cardiso also hoped that the saint could provide an explanation to alleviate its confusion.
Are we really the invaders?
Are we the ones who are disturbing this world?
What did the glorious era we once firmly believed in represent for humanity?
Mind Flayers, who feed on brain marrow and are naturally accustomed to enslaving other races, are never benevolent; they are absolutely evil and dark creatures.
But Cardisos, this anomaly, was different when it developed its own consciousness; a kind of psychology that could be called kindness arose in its heart.
Cardiso wanted an answer, though it didn't know what kind of result it was hoping for, but simply wanted to know from the saint.
If it is the Saint's answer, whatever it may be, it will accept it!
However, Cardiso did not expect that he would ultimately not get an answer.
It lost consciousness the instant after it finished speaking.
Without any warning or preparation, the soul of this somewhat peculiar Mind Flayer fell into the hands of the Saint, and then...
It was crushed instantly.
Without explanation or reason, it was simply crushed so easily.
When Cardisoo regained consciousness, everything had been altered.
No, Cardiso didn't get the answer it wanted, but it got something else too.
It met a tragic fate, being altered and manipulated by others.
When it reappeared in the public eye, Cardiso returned to "normal".
It kept shouting:
"We are justice!"
"Destroy human tyranny!"
"Take back our world!"
!
Like everyone else, just like before.
Without the intervention of this saint, this suddenly enlightened Mind Flayer might have even become a leader who guides other extraordinary beings to reflect on their past.

But she intervened, correcting Cardiso's abnormality and putting everything back on track.
Thus, there was no longer a Cardiso seeking the truth in the world, only a mind flayer warrior who was a fanatical believer in God.
For that sage, it was merely a casual correction of a mistake.
But for Cardisoo...
It's really gone mad.
...
...
Recalling the memories he had obtained from Cardiso's mind, and unlocking the sealed and forgotten fragments, Ning Feng pondered silently.
"This is the saint..."
Ning Feng stood at the highest point of the third outpost, looking down at the collapsed buildings below that had been destroyed in the war. His eyes, which were not covered by the mask, regained their calm.
