He looked at Ilya with an expression that didn't look like he was joking, and asked: "You want to kill [Elephant King] Taimo?"
The "Eight Endless Emperors" are extremely extraordinary, with combat power comparable to that of the three generals of the Navy Headquarters. If they were really so easy to kill, they would not have roamed the Endless Sea for so many years.
Raymond knew that Ilya was very capable.
But even if she cheats to increase her combat power, she can now really have a strength comparable to that of the "Eight Endless Emperors". But it is almost impossible to kill [Elephant King] Taimo.
Because, if you want to kill the eight emperors, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
According to the settings in the game, sequence 0 is the existence after level 100.
After level 100, there is almost a qualitative gap in the combat power of extraordinary people at every level. Each level represents a threshold and a small difference in the realm of laws.
Unless the ability is restrained, there is almost no possibility of overstepping the level and killing people.
For example, the captain of the Eight Emperors level is probably around level 100-105, and the deputy emperor is slightly higher.
A master at the level of "Ocean Shichibukai" is probably around level 105.
The "Endless Eight Emperors" and the three generals of the Navy Headquarters are all 109.99 level bosses.
Further up, that is beyond level 110, the legendary sage realm (demigod).
Wanting to defeat and kill are completely different things.
Ilya said that she wanted to kill [Elephant King] Taimo, which means that her own strength is at least a bit higher than Taimo.
Which means...demigod?
...
Raymond was really shocked and asked in disbelief: "Ilya, have you advanced to the 'demigod realm'?"
"No."
Ilya shook his head and denied this statement, "Although I have the inheritance of the High Priest of Nyx, there is no bottleneck in my early-stage cultivation. But to advance to the 'demigod realm', you need to understand the 'power of transformation', which requires opportunity.
It takes a long time to understand, and it is not so easy to advance..."
Raymond made sense after thinking about it.
If the "demigods" were easy to advance, the "Eight Endless Emperors" wouldn't be stuck on that threshold for so long and couldn't break through.
As far as he knows, the only person who has truly broken through that threshold and can be called a strong person in the "demigod realm" is... the third uncle is one, and the other is Queen Isa of the elves.
As for the World Headquarters, at least on the surface, the highest combat power shown is the three generals of the Navy Headquarters.
He asked: "Since there is no breakthrough, do you still plan to go...?"
Ilya explained: "A few months ago, Taimo was severely injured by a master in the territory of the pure fur tribe, and his serious injuries have not healed. Now he is receiving treatment in Hippocrates City. To kill him, this is the best opportunity.
"
"But...even if Taimo is seriously injured and has not recovered, it will be very difficult to kill him."
Raymond muttered with doubtful eyes.
Only then did he remember that his third uncle had indeed beaten Taimo until he almost died.
But since Ilya has this bold idea, she must be somewhat sure.
But in the blink of an eye, Raymond thought of another question and asked in surprise: "Why...why did you want to kill Taimo?"
this is the key of the problem.
Logically speaking, even if she is the "Shichibukai", there is no reason to forcefully defeat a super pirate leader at the level of the Eight Emperors.
The Navy Headquarters has nothing to do. The Shichibukai have no obligation, let alone the need to fight with such a big shot.
"This..."
Hearing this question, Ilya pursed his lips.
Although his expression was slightly playful, his eyes were serious.
She thought for a while and said: "Because... I have investigated some clues. I need a 'big credit' to be able to contact those big people at the top of the World Headquarters. And after contacting those big people, I can finally confirm some conjectures .”
"Ah? What's going on?"
Raymond asked with concern on his face.
He has always known that Elijah, as the high priest of the Knicks, has heavy responsibilities on his shoulders.
The disappearance of the previous civilization "Nix Civilization" was somewhat inexplicable, as if it encountered a natural disaster that destroyed the world and suddenly disappeared in the long river of history.
There is no historical record of why it suddenly perished.
As the high priest of the Knicks, she naturally had to investigate.
Ilya didn't know what he thought of, and his face looked slightly sad.
She looked at Raymond, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was wondering where to start.
After pondering for a moment, she said: "Uncle, do you know the story of 'The Twelve Sages Killed the Old Lords and Saved the World' a thousand years ago, right?"
"Of course I know...but what does this have to do with what you want to investigate?"
Of course Raymond knows.
He also knew that those who participated in the "God-Slaying" were not the Twelve Sages, but the Thirteenth One, [Soul Emperor] Haines!
This event is the most critical historical background of the "Voyage" game and a symbol of the beginning of the steam age.
Ilya's eyes were deep and he spoke eloquently: "The matter has to start with our Knicks' god, the 'Six-Armed Yama'..."
...
Ilya chose a comfortable position, held up his slender neck, put his head at Raymond's feet, and lay lazily on his back in the spring water.
Although the current topic was a bit serious, Raymond couldn't help but glance at her body that was floating because of its majesty.
"Did you know that our God Nix did not originally exist... He was an 'artificial god' created by Master Wuzu using secret methods!"
Finally, Ilya revealed the ultimate secret.
"What? God Nix...is man-made?"
Raymond now has a certain level of strength and has gradually come into contact with some of the world's high-end secrets.
But when he heard the news, he was also greatly surprised.
"yes."
Ilya did not hide anything and told everything he had investigated.
"It is no longer possible for gods to appear in this world, and living beings have lost the possibility of condensing 'godhead'..."
"I, the witch ancestor of the Nyx lineage, got many clues from the ancient ruins. I traced back to the source and discovered that a 'War of the Gods' occurred in the mythical period, which led to the destruction of the mythical civilization. In that battle, countless gods and demons fell. The world has also been broken into pieces. And our current world may be just a small cemetery where the corpses of gods and demons are buried..."
"In other words, this is a world abandoned by the gods."
"..."
When Raymond heard these words, he was not much shocked.
When he went to the Elf Secret Realm before, he also discussed this conjecture with Queen Isa.
This world is more like a deserted "cemetery", perhaps just a fragment of the world in the mythical period.
Ilya said: "At the beginning, my master, Nix Witch Ancestor, had reached the extraordinary level of cultivation, but because of the lack of laws of heaven and earth, there was no possibility of condensing the godhead. And he speculated that the lack of laws may be due to the incomplete laws caused by the fragmentation of the world. .It may also be that the gods who abandoned the world deliberately sealed the cemetery..."
"If an extraordinary person wants to 'become a god', he must break this shackles of heaven and earth."
"But at that time, Master Wuzu's own cultivation had reached the extraordinary level. Even if he was a perfect demigod, it was impossible for him to break the blockade of the 'chain of laws' and see the 'ultimate truth' of the world. Therefore, Master Wuzu found
The ancient secret method, with the power of faith, created a 'god'!"
"..."
Raymond's eyelids jumped as he listened to this bizarre story.
The subsequent accident is full of legend.
At that time, the "Witch Ancestor" who cultivated to the sky used the projection of the gods found in the mythical ruins to create the image of the Nix god "Six-Armed Yama".
Then he gathered the power of faith from all humans in the world and used the secret method of "faith to become a god" to finally create a god with a "pseudo-godhead".
The original purpose of this "false god" was to break the chains of laws and allow the extraordinary people in this world to regain a chance of becoming gods.
But I don’t know why, the Knicks civilization suddenly died.
...
Later, thousands of years later, the "Lord of the Old Days" appeared, who was called an evil god by modern people.
That evil strong man enslaved most of the humans in the great maritime world with his powerful strength.
Later, the evil god was slaughtered by the "Twelve Sages", and the "Steam Age" came.
Until now.
Because of the epoch of civilization, whether the 'Operation Boundary Breaking' was successful and why the Knicks civilization was destroyed has become a mystery.
After telling the story, Ilya's face became a little darker.
She said: "The current secret method of 'justice' belief in the Navy is essentially the secret method used by my ancestor Nix to create gods..."
Raymond felt that he probably understood, "So, you suspect that the top leaders of the World Headquarters have found the mysterious method?"
"No!"
Ilya shook his head: "I suspect... that the 'evil god' back then was not killed. There may be some shocking conspiracy behind the story of 'Twelve Sages Killing Gods'."
After a pause, she continued: "Moreover, there are various signs that the 'evil god' is closely involved with the 'Six-Armed Yama God' of our Knicks clan back then! If that's the case... I must contact the World General Administration
The most core high-level officials of the government will investigate and find out the truth..."
Raymond looked a little unhappy, "So, is this the reason why you take the risk to hunt down [Elephant King] Taimo?"
