“Divinity, I think!” replied Alex.
Everyone gasped in fear. It was already quite difficult to get to the Immortalization stage, and Divinity now only existed within ancient records.
Many didn’t even believe that Divinity existed in the first place. It was simply an unimaginable concept.
Fairy Doctor was smart and connected some of the dots. “So you’re saying the Undying Clan and the Shura teamed up to attack our realm, forming the ancient boundary, and the defense border that the Supremes set during the Stone Ages was to protect us, mortals?”
Alex nodded. “That’s what I thought too.”
Fairy Doctor continued, “So not only do demons live in the boundary, the Shura and the Undying Clan are there too?”
“I’m not quite sure about that.” Alex shook his head. He then pointed towards the shrine. “Inside are the Forerunners, demonic objects the Shura Army made. They’re mainly used for invasion, and they have the power to infect normal humans with viruses that will turn them into a Shura death army.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s face turned pale.
‘Oh god, this is scary! How many Forerunners are in there? If they wake up and rush out of the shrine, would humanity even survive?’
Butcher stared at favonovel.com with a stern expression. “Are you sure everything you just said is true?”
Alex nodded.
“I’ve encountered some of the people who have been infected with that virus. And they look like… What’s favonovel.com called again… Oh, Voldemort. They’re so weird and ugly, but they’re actually university students from Long Beach,” said Martiny.
Alex added, “And quite a few cases are going around in Long Beach too. All of them would lose control of their minds as if they turned into beasts. These people have also been poisoned with the same venom we found in my master’s body.”
“Commander Benmore?”
“That’s right.”
Snow spoke up. “Master, we can’t leave these things here. If they wake up and rush out, they’d cause an apocalypse.”
She was talking about the Forerunners.
Alex replied, “Me too, but how are we supposed to kill them? There are so many of them here. Tens of thousands might attack us once we kill one of them.”
He then paused and asked, “How did you even get in here? Are there no other people here in this shrine? Is this weird spiritual ice stone palace the only thing here?”
Nora said, “Of course there are. We were following some people here, and we ended up battling them in the formation circle. All of them died, and two of our members were sacrificed as well.”
When the word “sacrifice” was mentioned, the members of the Flying Eagles looked quite sad. They might be used to death and sacrifice for the past few years, but they still mourned every time they witnessed death.
No one realized that the palace was slowly becoming warmer. It was no longer as cold as it was before.
When Alex retrieved the ice crystal marrow, favonovel.com didn’t expect it to have any other functions besides freezing the people in the circle. It controlled the temperature within the palace too. The ice elementals within the marrow, along with the spiritual ice stones, formed a large formation circle altogether. Hence, the Forerunners within the palace were hibernating.
This was also because the Forerunners within the palace weren’t mature yet.
However, now that it was gone…
Crack!
One of the Forerunners moved its arm, dropping chipped ice to the ground.
After that, it slowly opened its blood-red eyes.
