Oden's reaction was even greater than Lu Yuan had imagined.

"Peace, abundance, life, health?" Auden's voice suddenly perked up. "Isn't this just writing those four backwards? This Knight Academy really is a remnant of the Four Knights."

"I didn't expect that," Oden muttered to himself, "that the Four Horsemen weren't completely wiped out."

"I've heard about the scene back then. What they provoked retaliated in some indescribable way. Not only did the Four Horsemen die, but their families and the city they lived in were also doomed. They must have survived by some secret means. I guess they completely severed their connection with those four."

"Otherwise, I really can't imagine how the Four Horsemen could survive in front of four forbidden beings. And those four are special beings."

Oden was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, he was unusually serious.

"Lu Yuan, I'm being serious. If you really want to go in, you must make sure you see which statue is reacting to you."

"If it were health or peace, that would be fine. Of those four, the one most affected by the war would likely not have much strength left. As for health, you have the Sea of ​​Knowledge protecting you, so it doesn't pose any real threat to you."

"But the remaining two are a much bigger threat. If you really provoke them, don't worry about anything else, just run. If you can't escape... well, I'll tell those old fogies down there in advance to leave that empty statue for you."

Lu Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

What do you mean by "keep the statue below for me"?

"Hey, don't worry, Oden, I'm pretty good at running away," Lu Yuan asked with some doubt.

"If all else fails, I can hide in the Sea of ​​Knowledge. But are those guys really that terrifying? You saw it in Bronze City. I feel like the Forbidden Ones aren't as scary as they seem. Based on their displayed combat power, theoretically, a few fifth-tier fighters should be able to hold off one Forbidden One."

Oden's expression hardened.

He said to Lu Yuan very seriously, "The one you dealt with earlier, although I didn't sense him clearly, I can tell you that the person on the wall was disabled. He never used his full strength from beginning to end. In the end, he didn't choose to fight back, but simply ran away."

"You may not know just how powerful his domain is. Moving the entire Bronze City into his domain would be no problem at all. It's just that he doesn't want to. Or rather, he doesn't want to pay that price."

"And the crown you dealt with back then, that thing can't be considered a true taboo at all. At most, it's a sixth-order item, and its authority is incomplete."

"Although I didn't fully realize it at the time, I could vaguely sense that it was a step away from being a true taboo. It needed at least some time to develop, or rather, grow, before it could possibly reach the level of a true taboo."

"This timeframe can range from a few decades to over a hundred years. For such beings, time is nothing more than the most ordinary thing."

"In the end, you were also lucky. I don't know what method you used to strip away a bit of the forbidden authority. In addition, your Bronze City does have a rather powerful fifth-order expert, and with the help of that rift in the Sea of ​​Knowledge, you were able to barely repel him."

"Or rather, you didn't have the ability to kill it at all; it was simply swallowed up by the sea of ​​knowledge. If there hadn't been that rift in the sea of ​​knowledge, or rather, if no one had stopped it for you, how many seconds do you think you could have survived?"

Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.

That seems to be true.

Given my mobility at the time, I simply couldn't dodge those little bits of knowledge.

Moreover, the Forbidden Society played a major role in this battle.

However, Lu Yuan still had a very clear understanding of his own position.

The main reason he really wanted to ask Oden was that he always felt something was off about that taboo.

I felt really bad at dealing with those few taboos on my own...

"Those four forbidden beings, are they very strong?" Lu Yuan asked. "For example, compared to the fully-formed beings on the wall, which is more powerful?"

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Lu Yuan does have some knowledge of the forbidden, though he does have a somewhat superficial understanding of it.

I should explain it to him properly.

"The biggest difference between taboos is actually the difference in authority," Oden said.

"In essence, some things are strange; even if you reach the sixth rank, it's very difficult to obtain authority. In other words, the hardest part of going from the fifth to the sixth rank is not how to reach that level, but how to obtain authority that belongs to you."

"Power?" Lu Yuan interjected. "Is there a big difference?"

"Each authority corresponds to one of the underlying characteristics of all things in the world. But there are also differences between authorities. Some authorities are shared, such as oblivion and chaos. These are basically the most common authorities that can be obtained after becoming a sixth-order being."

"Are there any that aren't shared?"

"Yes. A unique authority." Auden's voice deepened. "That kind of authority belongs to immortal beings. Only by fully mastering an authority can one become an immortal being. Ah, that's getting a bit off-topic."

"Therefore, between those who are forbidden, it is basically equivalent to: apart from one's own ability, it is a contest of your control over power and the scarcity of that power."

"At the same time, you should also be aware of the combat power of a fifth-tier human. Even a fifth-tier human who has restrained their power can cause considerable destruction. They can easily destroy a small city. But it would be a bit difficult for a large city. Because for most people, excessively releasing their power would cause them to go berserk."

"Those four beings can be said to be close to immortality, but they will never achieve immortality," Oden continued.

"Well, anyway, they are incredibly powerful, especially the four-in-one combination. However, it's impossible for them to combine all four; as far as I know, it's probably impossible."

"As for the person on the other side, let me give you an example. One-on-one, maybe there's still hope, I mean hope of escaping. One-on-two, he can only wait to be beaten. One-on-three? Then he's not just half-dead today, he's completely dead. I don't know what he offended back then to end up like this."
