The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Because humans at that time were simply too weak.

To the gods, humans posed no threat whatsoever. Compared to the threatening livestock, they were more like talking insects.

Their greatest characteristic is their weakness, while their only advantage as intelligent beings is their large numbers.

In any case, the arrogant gods would not see humans as a threat.

The other deities only regarded their prophecies as a form of admonition, using prophecy as an excuse to prevent the gods from fighting each other.

Some deities even took this as a signal and a beginning, and launched a divine war accordingly.

Amidst the conflict of power and territory, whether intentionally or unintentionally, all the gods were swept up in the torrent of that era.

They formed alliances, betrayed each other, fought, plundered, and slaughtered each other...

The gods were no longer aloof; they personally attacked their "comrades."

That struggle continued until the day they suddenly disappeared.

No one knows why the gods disappeared, and the extraordinary beings are plunged into great panic. Just as they are trying various methods to awaken the gods...

Humans have returned.

When the united humans returned, upon discovering that the seemingly weak insects had gained immense power, the remaining extraordinary beings unanimously recalled the prophecy.

The prophesied existence did not occur, but the prophesied scenario seems to have already happened.

Humanity has truly gained power!

Moreover, that power was stolen from the gods!

The battle broke out once again.

This time, however, it is no longer a battle between gods, but a battle between the apostles of the gods and the blasphemers who steal the gods' power.

……

The battle ended badly for the supernatural beings; they were forced to leave their homeland and live a miserable life of hiding and fleeing.

They hide in dangerous corners of the world, barely surviving while gathering strength for revenge, and waiting for the gods to return.

During this time, the original prophecy was gradually mentioned by the extraordinary beings and gradually became the story we know today.

Secretly, some people want to blame the previous failures of the extraordinary beings on prophecy.

"Such a scene has been foreseen by the gods!"

"This is merely a test of our faith!"

"If we persevere, the gods will surely come after us again!"

The terrifying being born from the son of man in the prophecy gradually acquired a new name as it spread.

That being who will ultimately bring about the end of the gods' twilight, he is called...

【Devil】

The demon king who will bring about the end of the gods.

……

After the third saint spoke meaningfully, silence fell over the space, and the other saints did not immediately refute him.

They did not laugh at him for bringing up that seemingly absurd and self-deceptive prophecy.

As saints whose strength at the time was enough to reach the first tier of power below the gods, they had also heard of this matter.

Moreover, they know more than those people.

such as……

This is not a rumor.

This story is not something that supernatural beings made up to comfort themselves.

It's true that some divine being foresaw such a tragic future!

If only one deity encounters it, it can be explained as foreseeing a tributary of fate. But if multiple deities encounter such a future together, it represents a different meaning altogether.

Such a future is very likely to come true!

Perhaps, the gods will truly face their final twilight because of humanity.

"Demon King..."

The somewhat taboo name made the atmosphere in the space heavy; none of them wanted to see that kind of future actually come to pass.

Now, just as they decided to make a comeback and were preparing to show their strength for the first time, they suffered a devastating blow, even paying the price of a saint!

The unfolding of this drama felt like destiny, leaving them with no choice but to ponder it.

But after a long silence, the fourth sage, who had not spoken until now, slowly shook his head:

"No, he can't be the Demon King."

After everyone else's attention turned to him, he explained earnestly:

“Even if the Stargazers just displayed enough power, I believe you have also noticed the problem.”

“I admit that his strength far exceeds our expectations, but there are also many problems and flaws.”

He raised his hand and gestured, indicating:

"His true form never appeared from the beginning; instead, he descended using a special vessel..."

"It looks like a divine intervention, but it actually exposes his own flaws."

Yes, that's it.

"His power actually comes from that floating city! Moreover, he cannot leave easily, or even at all!"

The slightest hint of panic he had felt vanished after the analysis, and he said with certainty:

"I don't think you believe such power can be obtained without paying a price, do you?"

In this world, miracles represent power, but they also always represent a double-edged sword.

Miracles are equivalent.

For every gain, there is a cost!

Knowing the opponent's weaknesses would make future dealings much easier. The sage relaxed and said:

Even putting all that aside... the strength he has shown is still far from enough.

Correct.

The tense atmosphere eased slightly, and the other saints breathed a sigh of relief.

The other saints may seem to be listening attentively to the fourth saint's analysis, but they may not actually take it to heart.

As strong individuals, they all have their own insights and understanding, and they are not easily influenced or changed by others.

The reason for the relaxation was the following words.

Above the legendary is the saint, and above the saint is the lowest level of divine power.

The power gap between saints is enormous!

Although the stargazers displayed great power, they were still within the realm of saints, and could only be described as comparable to gods.

Such power is almost indistinguishable from that of gods for mortals, but there is still a gap when compared to the true power of gods.

If the power is only this level, it is simply impossible for the gods to usher in the final twilight!

Not qualified yet.

The fourth saint seemed to remember something and added:

"We also need to pay close attention to the container that holds his power."

That level of power is something not everyone can withstand.

Even if it's just a transit point, the pressure it faces is immense.

Ning Feng's ability to endure for so long as a vessel, even if it came at a price, is still very special.

“He may have a special talent, perhaps he can serve as a vessel for our Lord and the others to descend.”

They have been searching for beings with special physical characteristics, and generation after generation has been preparing for the revival of the gods, and this time is no exception.

"You don't need to tell me that; someone will be contacted about him later."

It would be best to lure them over, but it's also fine if they can't come voluntarily and are forcibly brought over.

They've done this kind of thing many times before.

The infiltration of extraordinary beings into the world of awakened beings, and even the world of ordinary people, is much deeper than many people realize.

"Let's discuss the next steps with the others when we get back."

"In any case, the angels' sacrifice will not have been in vain."

After calming down, the space fell silent again, and then, as if by prior arrangement, figures gradually disappeared in silence.

They had to go back and tell others the news, and also deal with the impact and aftermath of the angel's sacrifice.

For example, how should the remaining power after sacrificing the archangel be distributed...?

In the chaotic space, the last saint slowly rose.

He remained silent throughout, watching the group converse.

He was the last to leave, and his sigh-like voice, before disappearing, continued to echo in the space.

It seems like they've been asking questions all along.

"【Demon King】, who exactly are you...?"

……

Tick.
