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

Inside the lavish VIP chamber, past the initial wave of 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 moreover, it can latch onto the Ten Thousand Clans parasitically, including massive dragons.
After attaching itself, "Infestation" wipes out the host outright, completely taking over and dominating every aspect of the host, including casting the spells the host once knew, while also gaining resistance to every standard assault.
The sole means to fight "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, clearly highlighting its major drawbacks.
Undoubtedly, the greatest surprise comes from the fact that "Infestation" can actually demolish the [Stone of God] itself, since back in our territory, tales of a shattered [Stone of God] have never surfaced!
"Who could have imagined that the [Stone of God], after facing defeat from 'Infestation' time and again, would finally break apart?"
Moli's starlit gaze quivered with utter incredulity.
One must remember that the Forest Elf Race, despite holding numerous [Stones of God], has never dealt with a damaged one, and the same probably applies to other top-tier powers.
In truth, "Infestation" shows up very infrequently in our realm; even during widespread outbreaks, it stays fully manageable. Defeats of Stone Spirits by "Infestation" are scarce, let alone repeated losses.
Yet, it's clear that with more [Stones of God] breaking, the ability to resist "Infestation" diminishes steadily. Under these conditions, should a Great Catastrophe arrive for real, the result is foreseeable; our world might suffer the identical doom as this one.
Indeed, the strategies and preparations, even from the Forest Elf Race, for handling the Great Catastrophe rest on the assumption that [Stones of God] remain intact, leading everyone to focus solely on their own survival.
As Moli explained, her Forest Elf Race employed partial Divine Domain Magic to develop a technique for early activation of sleeping [Stones of God].
"City Lord, could you tell me if the powers here united against 'Infestation', or did they just handle it independently?"
Collecting her composure, Moli inquired first.
"To be honest, Pink Lord Brave, at the start, every key faction, the Human Clan included, opted to act alone, using their individual might to battle 'Infestation'."
His wrinkled features etched with sorrow, 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. It happened often that groups weakened by 'Infestation' got devoured by competitors, and mistrust and paranoia, like devilish murmurs, constantly blocked alliances among the big powers."
"However, once the [Stones of God] started cracking, as the main factions slowly understood that unity was the only way to confront it all, the chance had already slipped away."
"With the Magic Barrier's strength fading, 'Infestation' outbreaks grew more common, scaling from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and reaching millions; every massive surge of 'Infestation' turned into utter disaster."
Listening to Old Book's words, Leo Ray, Moli, and the rest once more opened their eyes wide, pulses racing wildly.
During the Dragon Nest clash with "Infestation", foes numbered just hundreds, and per Moli, the Forest Elves' biggest encounter with "Infestation" featured only thousands of threats.
Ideas of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or beyond utterly surpassed what anyone anticipated.
Truthfully, the [Stones of God]'s aid merely grants us the means to injure "Infestation". Should many powerful beings get infested in huge numbers, the fallout remains unthinkable, especially alongside the dread and insanity "Infestation" instills, as Old Nick so vividly demonstrates.
Instantly, Leo Ray and Moli nearly envisioned the Great Catastrophe's arrival, a clear doomsday scene.
"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, a spark of reflection gleamed in Leo Ray's eyes.
Concerning the cause, it's plainly a mystery; maybe the local Magic Barrier lacks robustness, or the 'Infestation' here discovered superior entry paths, or perhaps it's simply the Prompting Voice's intentional setup.
"Should the final option prove true, what motive drives the Prompting Voice for this? Also, why display hints of godly involvement here at all?"
"By reason, if it supports this location, greater safeguards should apply, making it less perilous than unblessed realms, which endure wave after wave of 'Infestation' assaults?"
As endless doubts swirled in Leo Ray's mind, Old Book's tone echoed once more.
"In time, though the remaining Ten Thousand Clans banded together, boosting collective strength immensely, lacking Stone Spirits to battle 'Infestation', they kept tumbling into dire straits, until a Divine Revelation guided us to a fresh tactic against 'Infestation'."
At Old Book's mention of this, Leo Ray and his group felt invigorated in both body and spirit.
A fresh way to resist 'Infestation'? Should it work, it would surely offer tremendous value to our side too.
