Chapter 565: Raising Their Spirit Before War
The populace of the continent finally saw the real face of the man who had already become a legend. The man’s achievements would be difficult—no, outright impossible—to replicate in the future. There was no one like him.
"That is Lord Aldrian?"
"That is Aldrian the Great’s real face? As I thought, even his face is not disappointing. It truly fits a legend."
"Aldrian the Great is here—does this mean the attack will begin soon?"
Many discussions sparked after Aldrian revealed his real face. Their unrest over the black pillar was now distracted by his appearance, which made him nod inwardly. At this time, he needed to make these people focus on him and not on the black pillar.
Aldrian looked at the people below, all of whom were already focused on him. He also used his combined energy manipulation and sound laws to project himself across his domain so that everyone on the continent could see and hear what he was about to say. It was something that came to his mind after he absorbed so much comprehension from his followers in the core area.
Aldrian took a deep breath. The people of the continent needed reassurance right now. Looking at the phenomenon in the devil territory, he knew that these people—who had no idea of the dire situation about to strike—would fall into chaos and anarchy if Tarius truly descended. People would begin to lose control, and he needed to prevent that.
And to do that, he would have to prepare them for what was about to come.
"To the people of this continent," he said, and his voice echoed across the land.
"I know you have many questions about what is really happening to the continent, with the recent movements of the major territories and the war that is unfolding in the devil territory. Now, as the denizens of this continent, you have the right to know—and I do not intend to sugarcoat what is truly happening."
"This continent is in a crisis like never before, and our existence is under threat. The devils are attempting to summon their god into this land. Yes, you heard that right—the devils are trying to summon a divine being into this world, a being so powerful that it lies beyond our comprehension."
