The "Descendants of the Twelve Sages" are a very special group in the Endless Sea.
They are as high as emperors, above all royal powers in the world.
Those guys always have a sense of superiority, looking down at other lower-level humans like gods.
They disdain to interfere in secular government affairs and even rarely show up.
Generally speaking, small things like beating pirates should be the responsibility of the slaves under his command (the World Headquarters). But now, the emperor has rolled up his sleeves himself.
This was a "big event" that had not been heard of for hundreds of years. It was so unusual that Raymond felt that something special must have happened!
...
"It's strange... The demigod among the twelve sages personally led the masters to surprise the headquarters of the 'Revolutionary Army'? Why did it happen so suddenly..."
Raymond looked at the news in the newspaper and couldn't figure out the key to it for a long time.
What is the reason that makes those old monsters who have never appeared in the world put down their identities and actually take action themselves?
Not to mention him, even the third uncle, Enzo, a big boss who has lived for two or three hundred years, has never really seen a "demigod-level" powerful person among the twelve sages, and now he actually shows up...
Who has ever seen a marshal commanding a battle and fighting on the front lines in person?
"Lolan has the 'Eye of the Prophet', so the chance of survival should be very high..."
After seeing the news in the newspaper, Raymond couldn't help but think of the silver-haired girl, and he was slightly worried about her safety.
This powerful prophet has saved his life several times and is definitely a reliable ally.
Thinking of this, he tried to dial Luo Lan's phone number.
"Hello."
Listening to the familiar and cold female voice on the other end of the phone, Raymond breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that she is still alive.
Raymond greeted: "Miss Lorraine, are you okay?"
Luo Lan's tone was as cold as ever, "Let's talk about something."
Raymond thought that she was a cadre of the revolutionary army and was once a descendant of the Twelve Sages, so she must know more about the inside story.
He asked: "Well...what happened? What is the current situation of the revolutionary army like this?"
Luo Lan: "The World Headquarters detonated all the secrets that had been lurking in the 'Revolutionary Army' over the years. Traitors also appeared among the senior generals. We were caught off guard. The leader was arrested and most of the cadres died in the battle. ...The headquarters has been destroyed, and the revolutionary army has ceased to exist in name only."
"What?! The revolutionary army is really destroyed?!"
"Yeah. Those old guys are almost out in force, there are three demigods and more than ten top masters at the level of admiral of the navy headquarters... No one can stop them."
"Why on earth? Aren't those great figures of the Twelve Sages indifferent to secular matters?"
"As far as I know... it's because the World Headquarters has recently failed to conquer pirates, and those old guys have lost their patience. Of course, more importantly... the base camp of the Twelve Sages is in the sky at the end of the world. Garden', there was an invasion war with unknown casualties not long ago. It seems that some major accident happened..."
"..."
When Raymond asked this, he suddenly understood something.
The World Headquarters Navy has indeed been losing ground in recent wars. Since the death of a Mammon family's "Golden Pig" in the "City of Eternal Night" Eludnis, the top brass of the World Headquarters have determined a "Great Suppression Operation" against pirates. ”.
However, after a series of ridiculous operations, not only did they not achieve any effective results, but they were defeated by the [Blood Emperor] group.
The century-old plan of the Kingdom of Giants was also messed up. Not only did it not make the powerful giants free, but it forced the most powerful warriors in the world to become pirates.
Even an admiral from the Navy Headquarters died in that battle, and the losses were immeasurable...
Of course, the worst thing is that a core descendant of the "Battle Family" died!
Therefore, the old guy who took the lead in this surprise attack on the Revolutionary Army headquarters is the contemporary head of the Bart family!
In Luo Lan's words, the "Twelve Sages" originally had the strongest combat power in the world. Those clansmen with the twelve surnames practiced the demigod inheritance of the Twelve Sages in the "Heroic Age", and there were many masters in the clan.
There are at least several powerful demigods...
This is a terrifying force that can destroy all forces in the world.
They are unwilling to participate in worldly affairs, firstly to maintain their original noble and benevolent image as "descendants of sages"; secondly, because of arrogance, because they feel that ordinary humans are like pigs raised and are not qualified to be
their opponents.
Therefore, they created the "World Headquarters", a super-powerful organization, to manage the world for them.
Those people with the twelve surnames are only responsible for escaping from the world for cultivation and enjoyment.
The so-called "Endless Eight Emperors", "Revolutionary Army", and even the fleet of "Pirate King" Delos have never caught the attention of this group of people.
In their view, in the face of absolute strength, they can be wiped out with a flip of their hands.
The original policy of the Revolutionary Army was to develop in a low-key manner and become powerful before attracting the attention of those old guys.
This is indeed the only correct path.
It's a pity... Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.
Now, those old guys with the twelve surnames, due to some changes, no longer intend to play this "cat and mouse game" with them.
Since the "World Headquarters" is ineffective, they will end it themselves.
This move will definitely destroy the ancient world.
...
"You said... not long ago, there was a big battle in the headquarters of the Twelve Sages?"
"Yes! There are not many clues from intelligence and divination, but it can be confirmed that about a month ago, a powerful outsider broke into the 'Sky Garden' and triggered a fierce battle. I guess this invasion is
The most fundamental reason that directly led to those old guys taking action."
"..."
When Raymond heard this, his heart thumped: "Is it Ilya?"
One month ago, it happened to be the last time he and Ilya contacted each other.
She said she was going to meet a real big shot among the Twelve Sages to confirm her final guess.
In order to prevent some "clairvoyants" from tracing the relationship between Raymond and her, they chose one-way contact.
Now a month has passed and there has been no news.
If it weren't for the fact that the life card Ilya left with him wasn't abnormal, Raymond would have even thought she had an accident.
Now it seems that the premonition may have become a reality.
Luolan said that someone forced his way into the base camp of the Twelve Sages and had a big fight. He immediately thought that the "outsider" was Ilya.
Only she has that strength and that motivation.
"This is terrible... It seems that Ilia has encountered the worst outcome predicted by Ilya. The mysterious existence behind the 'Twelve Sages' is indeed related to the God of Nyx..."
Raymond looked very solemn.
The amount of information in this matter is huge, enough to subvert the world's cognition.
Before the trip, Ilya had analyzed the whole story for him.
The "Faith of Justice" of the World Headquarters is actually the secret method of "creating gods" in the Knicks civilization. Now that Ilya has personally gone to danger, this conjecture has been confirmed.
This means that... the so-called "righteous faith" of the World Government is actually learning from the methods of the Knicks civilization to... artificially create gods?!
This is an extremely crazy idea!
Raymond felt as if he had put together the last piece of the puzzle.
Even if he didn't get the last two volumes of "Hynes' Notes", he felt that he had probably guessed the truth of the matter. The "God-Slaying Plan" of the Heroic Age, the fall of the evil god... maybe everything was just an appearance.
The truth gradually emerged, and the fog covering the ultimate secret of the great maritime world gradually dissipated...
...
But now is not the time to dwell on this conspiracy.
Raymond didn't have the strength to change anything, he was more worried about Ilya's safety.
Since those big figures of the Twelve Sages raided the headquarters of the "Revolutionary Army", it means that Ilya's operation failed.
Judging from the current situation, she didn't contact him after the accident, either because she was caught. Or something unexpected happened...
The only good news is that her life card is not broken and she is still alive for the time being.
At this moment, Ilya's delicate and pretty face kept coming to mind, as well as bits and pieces of the past.
Like quicksand between my fingers, I watched her slip away. I wanted to catch her, but I couldn't.
Raymond knew that he had to find her.
No one spoke for a while on the phone.
After a long time, Luo Lan asked again, "Do you have anything else to ask? I'll just hang up if it's okay..."
Raymond temporarily abandoned the chaotic thoughts in his mind. Listening to her voice, which seemed a little weak, he asked again: "Miss Lorraine, what about you? From the sound of your voice, it seems that you are not in a good condition."
"I'm injured and on the run. Those old guys in seclusion are personally chasing me. This time the situation will be very bad. All forces that do not submit to the rule of the World Government will be purged. You'd better not show up recently, it will be very serious. Danger..."
Lorraine's tone was always lukewarm.
She used the calmest tone to describe a major event that could turn the world upside down.
After a pause, she continued: "Although I haven't figured out what happened, but now it seems... those guys seem to 'can't wait'. They can't wait to control the world..."
After hearing this, Raymond felt as if he understood something, and said thoughtfully: "Maybe... it's for the 'power of faith'."
...
Raymond hung up the phone call from Lorraine and stood on the deck blowing the sea breeze with a complicated expression.
This phone call also made him understand the urgency of the current situation.
The "descendants of the Twelve Sages" have personally come to an end, and the turbulent pattern of the world has become irreversible. This is a great turmoil that no one can avoid...
Super forces as powerful as the "Revolutionary Army" were destroyed overnight, and other forces that did not join the World Headquarters can be imagined.
The biggest effect of this trick is to scare the original "neutral forces".
If you don't surrender, you will only perish.
No matter how powerful you are, can you still compare to the "revolutionary army"?
Finally, the descendants of the "Twelve Sages" tore off their hypocritical masks and used their super combat power to plunge this great maritime world into great terror again.
Just like a thousand years ago, that dark time when people were dominated by the "Old Lord"!
In a few years, most of the human territory will be dominated by "justice" during the great voyage.
Those few who know the truth and yearn for freedom will flee everywhere on the sea, struggling to survive in the cracks...
It was like a movie playing in Raymond's mind, deducing a series of scenes.
Maybe after thousands of years there will be another group of "Twelve Sages" who have the courage to resist, or maybe there won't be anymore... and this civilization will become extinct.
The surviving human beings will forever be trapped in ignorance and ignorance, never having the possibility of discovering the truth, and become humble bugs who provide faith for "justice".
...
Raymond gathered his friends and told everyone the information in the newspaper and the intelligence he had just learned.
Everyone immediately understood that the leisurely days like now might not last long.
Unless they are just wandering in the uninhabited sea, sooner or later they will face the purge by the World Headquarters. Now those so-called pirate gathering places will definitely be the first wave of targeted purges, and there is no such thing as a "pure land".
Colin: "Based on the current situation, Hex City can no longer guarantee neutrality in the future. Captain, we have to go there as soon as possible to get the semi-finished 'ancient weapon' left by the teacher."
Nicole: "Yeah, I originally thought that we would never be able to use that big killer weapon... But now it seems that we can't let it fall into the hands of the World Headquarters. Only if we have it in our hands can we stop the World Headquarters. Conspiracy, giving some hope for the future of mankind..."
Lulu: "The thought of a soulless scientific community makes people despair."
Thor: "Haha, the 'justice' belief of the current World Headquarters has completely deprived people of their souls, and they are still slaves who don't know how to resist at all... If people become like that, it will really be the beginning of the extinction of civilization."
Sha Mao: "If the world is really controlled by a certain guy, how will those dark days be different from the previous days when the evil god ruled? What's the point of living for a soul without the ability to think independently..."
"..."
Everyone was talking, all expressing a kind of pessimism.
Judging from the current situation, the "Twelve Sages" have shown the tip of the iceberg in combat power and are unmatched. This makes people feel almost desperate pressure.
At this time, Anna on the side suddenly asked: "Lemon, Ilya's current situation must be very dangerous. What are you going to do?"
Obviously,
Raymond can ignore other things for the time being, but the most urgent task is to find the whereabouts of Ilya as soon as possible.
Her life card is still intact, but in the hands of those guys, she doesn't know how long she can live.
He thought about it and said, "I'll ask Senior Capone first. Maybe he has more information."
...
"Hey, boy Raymond, I happened to be looking for you for something, but I didn't expect you to call me first."
Raymond did not expect that as soon as he answered the phone, Capone on the other end of the phone greeted him proactively.
"Have you read today's newspaper? Do you know what happened?"
"Well. The revolutionary army was destroyed..."
"..."
Raymond told Capone the information he got from Lorraine and some things he had guessed.
Capone was a little surprised. Apparently Raymond provided him with some ideas that he had never thought of himself.
"Hey, you are quite well-informed. I just got the exact news. Someone indeed made a big fuss in the lair of the Twelve Sages. Based on the clues, the intruder is most likely the one who killed [Elephant King] before. ] Taimo's Shichibukai [Snake Princess] Elijah Belle. Tsk tsk, the 'Sky Garden' was a place where even Captain Delos had not invaded back then, and you could really see the end of the world..."
"Senior Capone, do you know what's going on with Elijah now?"
"It's not clear yet. But I heard that in a few months the World Government will hold a huge public trial in Cyprus. At that time, the arrested leaders of the revolutionary army, high-ranking officials, and some anti-World Government leaders will They were publicly tried and executed. It is estimated that those guys planned to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, and also hooked the remaining forces of the Revolutionary Army... If the [Snake Lady] Elijah Belle had not died, she would probably appear somewhere... "
"A public trial?"
When Raymond heard the news, his expression became very solemn, and he immediately understood the sinister intentions of those old conspirators.
If he had his own World Headquarters, instead of going around the world looking for fish that had slipped through the net, it would be more time-saving and energy-saving to "fish" in this way of public trial travel.
Those who were executed were all big shots. If there were any accomplices at that time, they would naturally try their best to rescue them.
As Capone said, if Ilya is really caught, maybe the conspirators will really use her as bait to find out the lurking "accomplices"!
If that were the case, the situation would get very bad and Raymond would have to take the bait.
This is a clear plan.
But now things are still speculation, and he doesn't know how to deal with it until there are definite clues.
The original plan was to develop slowly, but now the situation has forced Raymond to the front line step by step.
...
At this moment, Capone's voice sounded again on the phone.
"By the way, boy Raymond, I really need your help."
"What?"
"The situation is very bad now. The 'Revolutionary Army' has been taken over. The next one to be attacked by the World Headquarters is our group of 'Seven Endless Emperors'. Therefore, [Night Emperor] Morgan took the lead and informed our peers of their plans. Let’s meet and hold a ‘Sea Meeting of Seven Emperors’ to discuss countermeasures...”
"You want me to identify the traitors who were instigated by the World Headquarters to rebel?"
"Yes...the Revolutionary Army has learned from its mistakes. Moreover, I'm afraid it will be very lively this time, and the World Government will definitely intervene..."
When Raymond heard it, he roughly guessed what it was.
The "Seven Endless Emperors" met for a gathering... Are they planning to take the initiative to fight back?
