Chapter 275

The Flame of Will projections spoke one by one, despair spreading uncontrollably.

The words of the royals revealed a lot of information.

They seemed to know the use of the altar, which was understandable. After all, they had found the original body of the Gold-Devourers from another plane.

But there was a problem here. If the ancestor of the Gold-Devourers was really Dillus, or the Dillus in the message sent by the God of Titans, why didn't the later generations of Titans know of the terror of this race? With their intelligence, would they have done something like leading a wolf into their home?

Could it be that the God of Titans had discovered Dillus hundreds of thousands of years ago and defeated them when he left the Titan Plane?

But that didn't make sense. If the God of Titans had won, then where had he gone? Had he allowed his own race to be bullied and oppressed, facing the danger of destruction at any time?

Unless Dillus was a truly powerful race that could cross the void and travel between planes. The God of Titans had only discovered one of them and then perished together with them. The later generations of Titans had followed their ancestor's footsteps and found the ruins, bringing back what they thought was their ancestor's relic.

Or perhaps that message wasn't sent to the void, but rather a warning from the God of Titans to his own world when he couldn't even protect himself. Had he missed?

When Adam asked these questions, the royals looked at each other for a while. Ancient King Faust smiled bitterly. "You're right. We did find the original body of the Gold-Devourers in the plane of ruins. When we discovered that this race could help us evolve more perfectly and become stronger, we thought it was a treasure left behind by the gods.

"The previous king had seen an altar like that in the ruins, but no one cared.

We didn't receive any warning, nor did we see the gods. "

Adam couldn't help but feel sad for the Titans. They thought they had obtained the golden apple, but what they had obtained was Pandora's Box. They had personally opened it and brought disaster to themselves.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "How strong was King Lancelot when he was alive?"

The Kings looked at each other. They didn't know why Adam suddenly asked this question. King Faust replied, "Same as me."

The Devourer had only betrayed the Titan race for about four thousand years, and it was in the Hyperdimension. According to Adam's observations, the Titan royalty were all at level-1, and the strongest, such as King Faste, was only at the peak of level-1. If King Lancelot was also at such a level, how could the Devourer, who was born from him, become so strong in just a few thousand years and reach the boundary of level-4?

Did it really possess such strength, or had Titan overestimated it?

"At that time, the Devourer was much weaker than Lancelot. Even Swoosh could defeat it."

"However, none of the Titans would have thought that the associated races that had gone through life and death with us would turn around and bite us. A large amount of the Origin Flames of the Royal Races were devoured. A small portion of the Origin Flames increased the strength of the Gold Devourers, while the majority was taken over by the Devourers. This was the first time its strength had increased by leaps and bounds."

"First time?"

"That's right, it was the first time. The second time was after the Devourers invaded the Origin Flames.

"The gods left behind the treasures that would allow one to become a god. They told the Royal Races that they could enter the Origin Flames and use the treasures when they were qualified to become gods. However, they had to leave behind a portion of the treasures after becoming a god to ensure that the inheritance wouldn't end."

"However, after a long time, we reached a bottleneck in our evolution. No one could reach the boundary of becoming a god. Every Titan knew about the treasures in the Origin Flames, but no one was qualified to obtain them."

"So the Devourers also knew about this. After betraying you, they chose to use violence," Adam said. "Because you cherished the treasures, you didn't want to use your foundation. Because of this, the Devourers continued to grow stronger. Now, even if you're determined to destroy both the treasures and the Devourers, you're no longer confident, right?"

"Yes."

"If that's the case, when the betrayal first happened, you had the ability to destroy the Gold Devourers. Why didn't you do it?"

Swoosh, who had recently ascended to King, replied. "The rebellion started inside the Titan's body. At that time, the Gold Devourers weren't strong. However, because they weren't strong, the Royal Races still had hope in them. However, the Gold Devourers knew us too well. Soon, we realized that the situation was no longer under our control."

Adam didn't know what to say for a moment. It was a simple principle to raise a tiger and invite calamity. However, there was a big difference between the perspective of an individual and a civilization. An individual would die because they didn't think of the consequences. It was impossible for the wisdom of a civilization to not think of this. There could only be one reason for this ending, and that was that the pursuit of power had blinded their wisdom.

Because of the stagnation in their evolution, they couldn't wait to cultivate the Gold Devourers when they discovered the Origin Flames. Because they weren't willing to give up on the hope they had just obtained, they didn't immediately eliminate the rebellion. After discovering that the Devourers had grown stronger, they were unwilling to use their foundation because they didn't want to give up the treasures of becoming a god.

It was simply …

"We only have ourselves to blame," King Swoosh concluded.

All of the Flame of Will projections dimmed.

Adam didn't ask what the treasures of becoming a god were. The Titans saw them as treasures, but in the eyes of Adam and most of the other mages, they only had research value. Adam didn't dare to use his own values to predict the actions of the hundreds of millions of mages, but he was sure that no mage who truly wanted to become a true spirit would use something like that to break through the bottleneck.

Adam just pointed at the projected Origin Flames and said, "I don't know how long your Origin Flames and the so-called treasures can last, but now, it's almost become a cocoon for the Devourers. You know better than me what will happen when the Devourers break out of the cocoon. Have you thought of how to deal with it?"

King Faste said sadly, "Can we really trust you? Friend. "

— — —

"So, they trust you just like that? These big guys aren't afraid that the mages will become another Gold Devourer? "

In the magnetized smelting factory, Garfield sat cross-legged on the ground, Lina's viburnum flowers bloomed beside her, and Sophia flew around like a bee, carefree and without any worries. Compared to the gloomy and gloomy Titan race, the few people around Adam were quite carefree.

Half a day had passed since the meeting that decided the fate of the Titans. Adam returned to the factory in York City. He was making new Magic Runes for himself while reflecting on the gains and losses of the overclocking battle.

Adam was convinced of his own power. Although he didn't like fighting, in terms of combat power, Adam wasn't weaker than any other mage of the same level. He might even be stronger.

Sword of Judgment was a super spell. Although it looked like a sword, it was actually a spell that deeply applied magnetic and electromagnetic forces.
