Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2729 1499: Trial

Previously on Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong...
Leo Ray and his allies marveled at the majestic Great Temple, a colossal structure hidden by space folding and far grander than any modern edifice, its halls filled with thousands of devout residents praying in a vast, enchanted space. Guided by Old Book, the high priest and city lord, they entered a prayer hall dominated by a towering statue of the Prompting Voice, its faceless form evoking both sacred wisdom and mystery. In a private chamber, Old Book revealed their dire foe: the relentless Corrosion, against which their once-invincible Stone of God has shattered after endless cycles of battle and dormancy, leaving the people defenseless.

Inside the lavish VIP chamber, aside from their initial astonishment, Leo Ray along with his allies sensed their minds swirling like a raging ocean.

The terror brought by "Infestation" requires no additional explanation. It resists all sorts of ordinary strikes and can latch onto the Ten Thousand Clans parasitically, including massive dragons.

After taking over a host through parasitism, "Infestation" wipes out the original inhabitant outright, claiming total dominance over the host's possessions, including the spells it once wielded, while gaining immunity to standard assaults as well.

The sole means to fight back against "Infestation" lies in the Power of the Stars drawn from the [Stone of God]. This unique force activates exclusively through the [Stone of God]'s possessor, highlighting its clear drawbacks.

Naturally, the greatest surprise comes from "Infestation" managing to destroy the [Stone of God] itself, since back in our territory, tales of a shattered [Stone of God] have never surfaced!

"Who could imagine that the [Stone of God], after facing defeat time and again from 'Infestation', would finally break apart?"

Moli's starlit gaze quivered with utter incredulity.

It's worth mentioning that the Forest Elf Race, despite holding numerous [Stones of God], has never dealt with a damaged one, a fact that probably applies to other top-tier powers too.

In truth, "Infestation" shows up quite rarely in our realm; even during major outbreaks, things stay firmly under control. Defeats of Stone Spirits by "Infestation" happen seldom, let alone repeated losses.

Yet, without doubt, with more [Stones of God] breaking, the ability to resist "Infestation" diminishes steadily. Should a Great Catastrophe strike under these conditions, the result is foreseeable; our world might suffer the identical doom as this one.

The strategies and preparations, even those from the Forest Elf Race, for handling the Great Catastrophe assume the [Stones of God] remain intact, leading everyone to focus solely on their own affairs.

As Moli explained, her Forest Elf Race employed partial Divine Domain Magic to develop ways of early activation for sleeping [Stones of God].

"City Lord, could you tell me whether the powers here fought 'Infestation' as one, or each handled it separately?"

Collecting her ideas, Moli inquired first.

"To be honest, Pink Lord Brave, at the start, every key faction, the Human Clan included, opted to act independently, using their individual might against 'Infestation'."

His wrinkled features etched with sorrow, Old Book's aged gaze brimmed with sadness as he answered, "Back then, we had to watch out not just for 'Infestation', but for rivals too. Forces drained by 'Infestation' often got devoured by competitors, and mistrust along with paranoia, like devilish murmurs, constantly blocked alliances among the big groups."

"However, once the [Stones of God] started cracking, and the powers slowly understood that unity was the only path forward, the chance had already slipped away."

"With the Magic Barrier's strength fading, 'Infestation' outbreaks surged in numbers, escalating from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and reaching millions; every massive wave of 'Infestation' turned into utter disaster."

Listening to Old Book's words, Leo Ray, Moli, and the rest opened their eyes wide once more, pulses racing wildly.

During the Dragon Nest clash with "Infestation", just a few hundred foes appeared, and per Moli's account, the Forest Elves' biggest encounter with "Infestation" featured merely thousands of adversaries.

Ideas of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or beyond that utterly exceeded what anyone anticipated.

Remember, the [Stones of God]'s boon grants us the means to injure "Infestation" alone. Should hordes of mighty beings get infested, the fallout remains unthinkable, especially alongside the dread and insanity "Infestation" instills, as proven by Old Nick's case.

Instantly, Leo Ray and Moli nearly envisioned the Great Catastrophe's arrival, a clear-cut end of days.

"Does this realm have a Magic Barrier as well? Yet, unlike ours, it seems this area lets far more 'Infestation' slip in."

Deep inside, amid his shock, Leo Ray's gaze sparked with deep reflection.

The reason behind this stays a mystery, naturally; maybe the local Magic Barrier lacks robustness, or the 'Infestation' devised superior infiltration methods, or perhaps it's all part of the Prompting Voice's intentional scheme.

"Should the final option prove true, what drives the Prompting Voice to act so? Also, why display hints of godly involvement right here?"

"By all reason, if it supports this spot, greater safeguards should apply, making it safer than unblessed realms, not plagued by wave after wave of 'Infestation' assaults?"

As endless doubts swirled in Leo Ray's mind, Old Book's tone echoed forth anew.

"In time, though the remaining Ten Thousand Clans banded together, boosting collective strength greatly, lacking Stone Spirits to battle 'Infestation', they tumbled into hopeless straits—until a Divine Revelation guided us to a fresh way to resist 'Infestation'."

At Old Book's mention of this, Leo Ray and his group felt invigorated in both body and spirit.

A fresh tactic against 'Infestation'? Should it work, its value to us would be immense without question.
