Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2882: 1578: Speculation and Doubt

“Your Majesty, do you mean…”

In the heart of the dim trail, after Leo Ray's abrupt statement, the alert powerhouses all revealed confused looks on their faces.

“The fact that our foe located us and trailed silently behind proves they hold the power to stay hidden from our senses.”

Leo Ray kept his eyes narrowed faintly while speaking steadily, “However, we ended up spotting their trail—doesn't that feel rather suspicious?”

“Your Majesty, do you suggest the foe deliberately let us see their position?”

Fei’er quickly grasped it, creasing her forehead, “Is this a caution? Telling us to steer clear of the Moon Shadow Deer People’s domain?”

“That foe's velocity is horrifying, exceeding even a half-step Tier 7 level.”

As a nimble powerhouse, Lila appeared solemn and nodded, “Should the foe truly be a demigod, they represent a real danger to our group. Given that, their self-exposure does look like an intentional show of strength toward us.”

“Yet this remains just the Moon Shadow Deer People’s land, a mere second-tier force. From where would a demigod emerge?”

Moli’s pale skin showed deep bewilderment, but suddenly something struck her, and she exclaimed, “From what the former Fishman King mentioned, the Broken Wing King has certain chicken wings aiding him. Might those chicken wings be the culprits here?”

Moli’s words made the group's mood grow heavier by the moment.

Should this hold true, then the Broken Wing King, master of the Throne Corridor, has surely become aware of our intentions, leaving us in an extremely disadvantaged spot.

“We cannot rule it out entirely, but regardless of how we view it, the Broken Wing King’s underlings ought not to show up in this location.”

Doubt deepened on Lila’s features as she asked, “If they truly serve the Broken Wing King, why not slip away quietly to report instead of issuing a specific warning right here?”

“My sister speaks correctly; moreover, this central city zone of the Moon Shadow Deer People is ringed by vast woodlands and numerous defenses—even the Broken Wing King’s lackeys would struggle to infiltrate.”

Kira joined in, affirming with a nod, “Furthermore, absent the Winged Royal Family’s command, no one can casually activate the Land of Divine Favor as His Majesty does.”

Once Kira finished, the others nodded in unison.

Aside from the Shadow Market, while the Land of Divine Favor stays beyond reach for second- and third-tier Outer Region powers, it serves as basic equipment for top-tier factions with vast reserves.

Ever since the Blank Era, be it Winged Race, Elf Tribe, or Dwarf Clan, each has displayed their own Land of Divine Favor to varying degrees—this acts as a prime method to overawe rivals and stands as vital hidden assets of great powers, mobilizable solely by the clan head or Elders Council, figures of supreme authority.

Therefore, just as Kira noted, mere Winged powerhouses cannot possibly summon the Winged Race’s Land of Divine Favor.

“Thus, the enigmatic shadow isn't under the Broken Wing King?”

Moli exhaled deeply before pondering aloud, “If not the Broken Wing King’s subordinate, we're circling back: the Moon Shadow Deer People amount to only a second-tier force—where on earth does a demigod hail from?”

“Your Excellency, the pink hood’s insights ring true, particularly after the devastating losses from years past when elite powerhouses mostly perished, the leader slain instantly, and the surviving half-step Tier 7 experts escaped wounded—let alone progressing, even regaining their former strength is in question.”

Hollis, clearly versed in that ancient clash, showed a baffled expression as he spoke, “Evidently, the enigmatic shadow cannot stem from the Moon Shadow Deer People’s ranks.”

“Not a Broken Wing King subordinate, nor a Moon Shadow Deer People powerhouse—what in the world is this mysterious shadow's background? It's utterly perplexing.”

Moli grew almost desperate in her frustration, trapped at an impasse.

“Don't worry—this very puzzle intrigues me, as we lack answers for it at present.”

Leo Ray gave a subtle smile, declaring, “The earlier shadow might not even be substantial, perhaps just a surveillance tool of the Moon Shadow Deer People, or its emergence carries greater purpose. In any case, nothing will block our path forward.”

With Leo Ray's words, the puzzled air among the group swiftly lifted, surging back to life with energy.

His Majesty speaks truly—a demigod stands with one foot in the divine realm, its might vastly outstripping half-step Tier 7 powerhouses—yet we boast numerous half-step Tier 7 experts of our own, so we’re far from defenseless in battle!

Seeing the strongmen’s spirits reignited, Leo Ray gave a subtle nod.

Exactly, the element that deepens the mystery lies in this vital detail.

Namely, given the present circumstances, he alone had caught that faint whisper just before.

While it remains unclear if it originated from the enigmatic shadow, one fact stands clear: the situation is nowhere near as straightforward as it appears.

Nevertheless, with the overall picture still murky, disclosing the voice to the others would only amplify their unease, making it wiser to monitor developments a bit longer.

Thoughts churning, Leo Ray pressed the group onward at full speed, and moments later, a colossal city that blended seamlessly into the surrounding forest loomed into view.
