Chapter 994 - Soul Interrogation (Part Ⅱ) (2/2)
First of all, what the demon said confirmed what the Taquila witches had thought about the relics. Roland still remembered that Wendy had exclaimed, “How come we’ve fought for hundreds of years just because of a useless stone? The Divine Will is so cruel.” Now he found that a relic not only determined the survival of civilization but also had high practical value for another civilization. That meant no party in this battle would be willing to conciliate.
Secondly, according to Kabradhabi, demons had already upgraded themselves. Though it did not mention the specific process of swallowing a relic, it apparently attributed all the progress that a species made and the invention of new weapons, to the relic. Roland could not help wondering. Maybe, they can inherit the knowledge accumulated by another species by swallowing a relic. Given that, did they create the giant skeleton monsters and the strange demons based on the technology of the underground civilization?
This is incredible. Even the industrial revolution can’t achieve this kind of effect. Such a revolution needs lots of raw materials and professional workers, and it only happens when there’s an enormous technological breakthrough. In comparison, inheriting knowledge by swallowing a relic sounds like force transfer in kungfu fiction. A species will be extinct and lose everything to its opponent after losing its relic? If it’s true, it’s indeed a fearful secret.
No, it can’t be counted as a secret. It’s important news for human beings, but it won’t affect the result of the Battle of Divine Will. For any party in this war, knowing the importance of the relics won’t guarantee the ultimate victory. Human beings have never had a proper idea about the relics until now. That’s why we can’t rally for the fight for the past thousands of years and lost again and again in the battles. Human beings can’t compete with the other species depicted in the painting scrolls.
We’ve wasted too much time on in-fighting.
Roland’s mouth went dry. He licked his lips and picked out the most crucial question among all the thoughts went through his mind.
“As you also refer to this war as Battle of Divine Will, do you believe that it’s arranged by deities?”
“That’s how you think of Divine Will?” The Senior Demon sounded much calmer this time, which was probably because it had remained quiet for a long time and had a chance to prepare during this period of time. “Well, it seems not bad to let you know the truth before you die out. Listen carefully, bugs. The battle has nothing to do with the deities. It’s just among the civilizations. The final winner will be able to upgrade and open the door to the Fountain of Magic. When that happens, the winner will gain omnipotent power and his will become the Divine Will! But, forget about it, stupid crawlers. You’ll never get such a chance. You are doomed to perish!”
“How do you know that?”
“What? Do you think that I, Kabradhab, will continue to talk to you?” The senior demon sneered.
“What do you mean?” Suddenly, Roland noticed something wrong and called out, “Zooey?”
“I’m afraid that this female can’t hear your voice for the moment. You used a soul-transferring trick to confuse my mind and then used mind-reading ability to read my thoughts. Bugs, you really haven’t made any progress for the past hundreds of years.” Zooey now sounded cold and heartless. “You dare to play magic tricks on me. You are headed for trouble. I’m Kabradhabi. Though I can’t control this body, for now, that doesn’t mean I can’t use my magic power!”
“Camilla!” Roland shouted to Chief Butler of Sleeping Island.
“It’s too late. Say goodbye to this female!”
With shrill laughter, Zooey closed her mouth. Camilla Dary went pale as if she could not believe what had happened. “The soul in the God’s Punishment Warrior… disappeared!”
