Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 2097: Chapter 1173: The Truth of the Time Reversal Ceremony (Part 2)

After listening to Lincoln Wilde’s description, a faint vein appeared on Leo Ray’s forehead.

“That’s right, Master Leo, many Lord companions even went insane because they couldn’t accept this, and they quickly became part of the nourishment.”

Lincoln Wilde squeezed the soft bread into a hard lump, his body trembling continuously: “And yet we have survived until today.”

“It’s precisely because of your survival that I could learn the truth of the matter.”

Leo Ray nodded seriously towards Lincoln Wilde and the other Lords, saying seriously: “The truth you’ve shared will become part of the path to victory for all of us, saving more innocent people, whose lives have been preserved thanks to you.”

After comforting Lincoln Wilde and the other Lords, Leo Ray took a deep breath.

Though he had considered many possible contents of the “Time Reversal Ceremony,” he hadn’t expected such a vicious result.

“So those disgusting ’Inverse Ones’ hatch from these repulsive red cocoons?”

Louise furrowed her eyebrows tightly, her small face full of anger as she said, “The opponent truly spares no means.”

“This is even worse than the most detestable Forbidden Magic.”

Catherine also furrowed her eyebrows tightly, then a touch of doubt appeared on her fair face as she spoke: “But by relying on the daily summoning of over a thousand Tier 2 subordinates by the Lords, how is it possible to produce many ’Inverse Ones’ every day?”

“They are probably not only relying on the subordinates, but also on the extra energy generated when summoning them.”

Leo Ray paused for a moment, then explained: “When Lords use recruitment orders to summon subordinates, a golden portal is generated, which is likely the key energy that the opponents exploit.”

“I see, I didn’t expect such a mysterious existence to utilize this power; it truly is unfathomable.”

Catherine nodded thoughtfully, her face gaining a few more shades of solemnity as she spoke.

“But Lord, before they corralled these Lords, how did they produce the ’Inverse Ones’? Like the batch we encountered initially?”

Taylor wore a puzzled expression, asking Leo Ray.

“Do you still remember those believers who inexplicably disappeared across the Grimm Kingdom?”

Leo Ray furrowed his brows, replying: “It’s likely because the transformation efficiency of those believers into ’Inverse Ones’ was too low, so the opponent eventually set their sights on the Lords.”

“Your Highness, are you saying those missing citizens of the Grimm Kingdom became the sacrifices of this Forbidden Magic?!”

White and other generals who had just arrived turned pale upon hearing this, looking at each other in dismay.

They too had investigated this in secret many times, but due to the obstructions by the Grimm Royal Family, all efforts ended in vain.

Though unwilling to believe, looking at the current situation, this indeed seems to be the only answer.

Overwhelmed with grief and anger, the generals of Grimm clenched their fists until they cracked, their hatred for the adversary growing ever more.

“I have to say, those hypocritical bastards on the surface are simply detestable to the extreme.”

Louise nodded heavily, her small face once again filling with confusion as she said: “By the way, how exactly does the opponent use these disgusting red objects to produce ’Inverse Ones’?”

“Though I don’t know the exact steps the opponent takes, if I’m sure of one thing, it’s that the life essence of those ’Inverse Ones’ plays an indispensable role.”

With a serious expression, None spoke: “It is by using the life essence as the foundation that the opponent was able to remold the bodies of the ’Inverse Ones’.”

“This gentleman speaks reasonably; for three thousand years, the Temple of Light has always stood at the forefront of resisting evil and the forbidden, this much is undeniable.”

White’s old face carried a complex expression as he shook his head helplessly, saying: “If it’s the Temple of Light, they truly could easily obtain large amounts of the life essence of dark forces.”

“Then it all makes sense. The Temple of Light collecting life essence to prevent those evils from resurfacing again unknowingly became a weapon in the hands of that mysterious existence.”

Seeing the Lords had stabilized, Leo Ray nodded towards everyone, saying: “Let’s continue searching here to see if there are any other clues.”

After Leo Ray finished speaking, all the powerful individuals nodded in agreement and began to take action separately.

Meanwhile, Leo Ray returned to the Lords, informing them that White and the generals would protect them, and arrangements would be made for their quick departure from this place.

The Master Leo Fan Club has many Lords with various Territory Movement Talents, people like Lincoln Wilde among others. Asking them to relocate these Lords is obviously no issue.

As for the curse burden these Lords carry, Leo Ray had already gained some understanding.

However, the Lords were evidently not like Little Jie who could resist with her own power, so solely relying on Leo Ray’s Power of Divine Grace would be difficult to completely dispel it.

Nevertheless, as long as they successfully eliminate the mysterious source of evil, everything would naturally be resolved.

After receiving Leo Ray’s reassurances, the Lords also settled down, expressing their deepest gratitude once more to Leo Ray.

Amidst the Lords’ words of thanks, Leo Ray kept a constant smile, yet his heart was still clouded with gloom.

Despite finding out the truth of the “Time Reversal Ceremony,” saving the Lords trapped here, and destroying the scene of the opponent’s “Time Reversal Ceremony,” two critical issues remained unsolved.

First, the thirty Spirit Armies still had no trace.

Second, he still hadn’t found the way to leave this Underground City.

In addition, according to Lincoln Wilde and the other Lords, nearly a hundred ’Inverse Ones’ were born here, yet they had only eliminated a limited number.

This undoubtedly means the opponent still holds a significant number of top-tier forces, which could pose a deadly threat to them at any time.

“Crucially, with the opponent’s ’Divine Plan’ already formally initiated, the time left for me is running out.”

As soon as this thought crossed Leo Ray’s mind, the slender and elongated figure of Red Night flashed into view, placing a hand on her chest in salute: “Reporting to you, Lord, we discovered a new passageway ahead, but we don’t know where it leads!”

“Regardless of where it leads, we have no way back now.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, signaling to Red Night: “Quickly, take me there.”

“As you command, Lord.”

Red Night placed a hand on her chest in salute, then sped ahead swiftly.

Guided by Red Night, Leo Ray traversed through the dark Lord’s Town, flying straight to the end of the Underground Space.

During this journey, Leo Ray took notice.

Traces of several unfamiliar teleportation arrays remained here, all recently shut down.

It wasn’t hard to surmise that the enemy on the other side of the formation had keenly noticed their approach and thus shut it down.

With a gust of wind passing by, Leo Ray paused, quickly stopping at the entrance of a new passageway.

At a glance, there was no metallic gate to block it, only a deep and dark entrance extending continuously into the depths of the tunnel.

“Your Highness Prince, both I and the True Ancestor have already checked, there are no signs of magic traps here.”

Catherine stepped forward from the cave entrance, nodding slightly: “Only, at the other end of the passage…”

Just as she was halfway through her sentence, Catherine’s face was filled with confusion and puzzlement as she said: “Forget it, Your Highness should see for yourself.”

“No need to hesitate, let me take a look myself.”

With no hesitation, Leo Ray took a step forward, surrounded by his companions.

As they moved forward through the dark and damp passage, Leo Ray, accompanied by ancient dust, reached the end of it.

During this process, Leo Ray noticed.

There were also traces of several unfamiliar teleportation gates here, all of which had been shut down not long ago.

From this, it was clear that the opponents on the other side had evidently sensed their approach, and that was why they had closed it in the end.

“Your Highness Prince, both I and the True Ancestor have checked it, there are no traces of magic traps here.”

Waiting at the cave entrance, Catherine took a step forward, nodding slightly: “Nonetheless, it’s better for Your Royal Highness to see for yourself.”

“I’m going right in.”

Continuously forward through the dark and damp passage, when Leo Ray carried the ancient dust and reached the end of it.

He noticed during this journey.

All signs of the passage were unexpectedly inverted.

A magnificent black castle, completely upside down and resembling a gigantic, sinister black bat, appeared before him, hanging from the ceiling of the cave with a terrifying majesty.
