Human Clan Defender-Chapter 774 - s 99 to 100: The Demon God’s Fury, The World’s Reaction (Two in One, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

「On the other side.」

At the moment Wu Jiu and the other Demon Evils perished, Wu Ming opened his eyes within the Witch God Hall. The space inside the grand hall instantly froze.

"Wu Jiu has fallen!"

Murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Simultaneously, a trace of shock stirred within him.

How long has it been? From the time Wu Jiu and the other Demon Evils entered the Human Clan Realm until now, not even a full day has passed. Less than a day... and Wu Jiu, who reached Half-Step Demon God, has fallen just like that.

This sudden turn of events left Wu Ming both angry and puzzled.

"Although Wu Jiu hadn't entered the God Realm, his strength was at Demigod Peak. Unless a Divine Spirit took action, it would be impossible to kill him so quickly," he murmured, his brow furrowed. "Could it be that a true Divine Spirit is hidden among the Human Clan?"

His thoughts then delved deeper. A true Divine Spirit... Not like the Barbarian God, that newly revived Divine Spirit, but one possessing strength at its prime. Such a Divine Spirit could easily annihilate a Demigod. But if a true Divine Spirit truly exists in the Human Clan Realm, they would have acted much earlier. They wouldn't have waited until now. According to information from the Demon Evils who returned from that realm, the Human Clan has already become exceptionally weak. If a true Divine Spirit were alive, they would have acted over three hundred years ago, slaying all Demon Evils that entered the Human Clan Realm. They wouldn't have waited until now to act, to annihilate Wu Jiu and the others. After all, there are no benefits to doing so. It would have been better to act from the start, eliminating all Demon Evils to deter others. That way, the Human Clan wouldn't have suffered such heavy casualties. Of course, there's another explanation. Perhaps that Divine Spirit has, by sheer coincidence, emerged at this very moment. But thinking about it carefully, such a convenient coincidence seems highly unlikely.

"Could it be—" Wu Ming muttered, a new thought striking him. "That other Demon Evils took action!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

His gaze suddenly became profound as he considered this alternative possibility.

If several other Demon Evils launched a sneak attack, Wu Jiu, caught unawares, might indeed have fallen. This matter must be investigated carefully.

Just then, the space within the grand hall quivered slightly. Demon Gods from the other Divine Temples had all arrived.

Before Wu Ming could speak, one of the other Demon Gods spoke first, "The Demon Evils dispatched by our temples have all fallen. What about Wu Jiu from your Witch God Hall?"

Wu Ming's heart jolted upon hearing this.

All of them... fallen! If this is truly the case, then the possibility of a sneak attack by other Demon Evils no longer exists. That leaves only one explanation: a Divine Spirit truly exists in the Human Clan Realm. And moreover, a true Divine Spirit.

As this terrifying possibility dawned on him, he drew a sharp breath, his expression turning grave.

"Wu Jiu has also fallen," he confirmed.

Upon receiving his answer, the expressions of the other Demon Gods changed slightly.

"To be able to slay five Demigods in such a short time, with none escaping—the one who acted must be a Divine Spirit! Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible!" Shencang declared, his face ice-cold.

A Divine Spirit had taken action, sending five Demigods to their graves in one fell swoop. For the Demon Evil Clan, this was a significant loss. Every Demigod was a candidate for becoming a Divine Spirit, with a slight chance of eventually maturing into a true Divine Spirit. It takes the Demon Evil Clan a very long time to cultivate a Demigod. Now, the fall of five Demigods was enough to enrage them.

Wu Ming said, "Before the Seal Strength dissipates, we should not take further action against the Human Clan Realm. A true Divine Spirit is simply not something a Demigod can contend with, unless we act personally."

Only a Divine Spirit can deal with another Divine Spirit. However, as long as the Seal Strength has not faded, Divine Spirits have no way to enter that place. Sending more Demon Evils in now would be no different from sending them to their deaths.

"It seems this is our only option!" another Demon God declared with a nod.

"We've waited for tens of thousands of years; a few more decades won't make a difference. Once we conquer that Human Clan Realm, a Divine King is bound to emerge from our Demon Evil Clan!"

With the emergence of a Divine King, any Human Clan Divine Spirit would become inconsequential.

Wu Ming continued, "Ten thousand years ago, although our clan's Divine King fell, the Human Clan also paid a terrible price. Their Ancestral Vein was severed, so their chances of breaking through to the Divine King Realm are almost nil. Even if a Divine Spirit has now emerged among them, I imagine there won't be many. Once the Seal Strength is lifted, the Human Clan will have no chance of resisting. But before that happens, information about the Human Clan Realm absolutely must not leak out."

The matter of the Human Clan Realm was of utmost importance. Ever since the Demon Evil Clan discovered it, they had guarded this secret closely. Now, on the verge of success, they could not afford for it to be exposed. Otherwise, all the sacrifices made by the Demon Evil Clan would be in vain.

"Mm," the other Demon Gods all nodded slightly in agreement.

Subsequently, their forms vanished from the grand hall.

No news of the five Demigods' fall circulated. In fact, apart from the Divine Spirits themselves, no one else knew that Wu Jiu and the other Demon Evils had perished. Wu Ming and the other Demon Gods deliberately kept this information from leaking out.

The fall of Demigods... five of them, no less. If this news were to spread, it could very well cause unrest within the Demon Evil Clan. It was better to suppress the news and bide their time. By then, the Demon Evil Clan would naturally be able to annihilate the Human Clan.

VWOOM—

A destructive blade light tore through the void. Before the Mountain Spirits could even react, they were all slain on the spot.

Immediately, Shen Changqing sheathed his saber. A satisfied expression appeared on his face as he looked at the increased Divine Ability Value on his panel.
