One-Eyed Monster
Chapter 915 - 913: Enemy
Who exactly are the enemies of the future?
Igor's question really hit the nail on the head.
Their understanding had just been shaken; they already knew the world was not as simple as they had originally believed.
Many hidden forces are now stirring restlessly, and people have not realized that they are in an extremely dangerous situation.
No one understands what is going on, but these things just happened.
Igor's brief words plunged everyone into silence, after all, compared to this problem, what they had discussed before were trivial matters.
They still couldn't find out who the real mastermind was.
Perhaps only by finding the Gaoju Family and having a good talk with them could they get an answer.
Although the Gaoju Family is now powerful and is a key player in the Wensi Empire, confronting them would be akin to declaring war on the Wensi Empire... yet, such a strong Gaoju Family is just a pawn in front of the real enemy.
Who exactly is behind the Gaoju Family, or is it even a human being?
Whether human or not, the matter they face now is overwhelming, most likely a large-scale invasion by an alien race.
If the Spirit World really invades the Yowein Continent, what would happen, would the Yowein Continent be prepared to face it? Do they have the will to resist?
Everything is unknown, the whole Yowein Continent is like scattered sand, with endless grievances among various empires, all too busy to care about such illusory things.
Thus, Igor's question stood at a very high perspective.
But as human beings, having such thoughts is very natural; they all want to protect their homeland, and when the entire Yowein Continent is threatened, Yowein Continent is their homeland.
The enemy is not clear, very hidden, and they know nothing about it.
But none of this affects their protective hearts.
As those Dead Souls dispersed, they returned to the previous question.
Only now, the information they got is much more than before.
They even feel that they have understood some things.
"Now it seems, what Lord Governor said about those awakened shadows are just these." Perkins sighed, faintly feeling the future to be very complex, needing to be carefully sorted out.
"Now it seems that's what's going on."
"But they can be immortal in that world, why invade us here..." Hustace was a bit puzzled, why those soul entities didn't remain peacefully in their world, but came here to stir up trouble.
"You overlooked an important point, Hustace, although they are immortal, they have no emotions. Once awakened, they follow a person until this person has no more summoning power." Governor Rostov explained to his son. Although he was a politician, he was confident in some simple deduction processes, and he had largely deduced some things from the just-described Dead Souls.
The world of those Dead Souls is connected to the Yowein Continent; can the people of the Yowein Continent awaken those sleeping beings?
"Haha, it seems now all the previous records about Spirit Power need to be overthrown." Dean Hoffman smiled bitterly.
This is also part of the clearing process, after all, previous records about Spirit Power were completely based on personal talent. Looking at it from the descriptions of the Dead Souls now, that's not the case. Of course, talent is still important, but Spirit Power is not realized artificially, it inherently exists.
"Indeed, this is truly a shocking thing, to realize that Spirit Power is a real force, and it even belongs to beings from another world." Perkins also recalled previous experiences, faced with great impact, needing time to slowly digest it.
Igor already understood these things; he had experienced it once on Guru Mountain before, at that time he awakened a spirit that earnestly spoke to him for a long time, but he didn't understand then.
After all, at that time he was not sensitive to the idea of significant changes occurring in another world, he didn't have good judgment; he could only look at the world superficially, unable to associate or relate disparate matters.
At that time, whatever he saw was what it was, he wouldn't consider a poisonous snake as a sign of danger ahead...
Now, having been transformed under Teacher Hadi's guidance, he had already become more mature, learning to distinguish the priorities of various matters.
"I think our greatest enemy is still within our own world, not in their world." Igor said thus.
Actually, proposing such a viewpoint at this time was indeed innovative, since everyone thought that since the invaders came from another world, the enemy must be some great demon king from another world.
Igor proposed a view different from others; is it because he has a naturally unique attribute?
His viewpoint also disrupted the continuity of others' thoughts, as everyone was engrossed in discussing Spirit Power, temporarily putting aside the question of the enemy.
That's how people are, when faced with a heavy topic, they tend to get weighed down and avoid addressing the issue directly by finding another less serious, yet related issue to avoid, making it seem as though they are still concerned about the heavy topic.
Now Igor was just pulling them back into the main discussion, yet he appeared strange in their eyes...
It's hard to tell, who exactly is stranger?
Igor was clearly stating the original discussion, who is the enemy?
They didn't want to discuss who the enemy was, rather discussing the larger context behind the enemy, which didn't bring them much pressure; instead, it provided a sense of satisfaction, because it's all new discoveries!
Igor looked at them strangely, not understanding why everyone was looking at him with such peculiar eyes, he hadn't done anything out of line.
"Why do you think the enemy is within our world, Igor?" Igor wasn't without listeners, Stan Sol remained silent, listening to him. He wasn't very interested in others' discussions, as he wasn't inclined to deal with the world's affairs; he just wanted to find the mastermind behind the harm to his family.
