"What's going on? Alaya, are you trying to stir up trouble again?"
Seeing the new video preview, Souma was instantly stunned.
This video absolutely couldn't be revealed now!
If it were exposed, both he and humanity would be finished!
"Wow, we're really going to face the most terrifying Demon God King Goetia?" Roya widened her eyes, her gaze filled with boundless anticipation.
Even her golden twin tails swayed excitedly behind her.
Among the Seven Evils of Humanity, four had already appeared: Tiamat, Fou, Tamamo-no-Mae and others.
Among them.
Only Demon God King Goetia truly sought humanity's destruction.
He once ignited human history as energy to return to 4.6 billion years ago when Earth was just born, transforming into the true planetary ruler Gaia.
From Alaya's series of exposure videos, countless people speculated whether he had ultimately succeeded.
Forcing the Nameless Hero to pay the ultimate price, his own existence disappearing, severing all connections, to reboot the entire Earth.
This price was excruciatingly severe.
You fought desperately to protect humanity, yet no one remembers you.
Completely forgotten by the entire world.
For Nameless to pay such a terrible price, the outcome becomes clear.
Only by striking when Demon God King Goetia had just merged with the planetary consciousness, before completing his transformation and gaining full control, could he be defeated at all costs.
No, this wasn't just defeat.
Clearly, it was mutual destruction!
Because once the opponent merged with the planetary consciousness [Gaia], they became fundamentally unkillable.
To kill them would mean dooming the entire planet to ruin!
Just as Alaya represents the collective self-preservation instinct of humanity, Gaia is the self-preservation consciousness of the planet itself.
It deliberately forged the Holy Sword of the Planet to restrain all enemies seeking Earth's destruction.
If Gaia were destroyed, this planet would likely cease to exist.
Even if by some miracle it survived, it would become a lifeless wasteland, never again giving birth to life!
To protect humanity, the only choice Nameless could make was—
Even if completely forgotten by all, he would continue fighting in some unknown place!
Moreover,
He would remain by its side eternally,
Becoming its ultimate jailer!
"In all those previous exposure videos, the Evils of Humanity all survived just fine. Even that Daji ended up becoming the Academy City director," Roya couldn't help muttering. "Wouldn't that mean the Demon God King Goetia might be living an ordinary daily life in Fuyuki City right now?"
The moment these words left her mouth, the other three all turned to look at each other.
"..."
Souma remained silent.
As expected, over time, the brat's [Clairvoyance] seemed to be gradually unsealing.
She was seeing more and more of past and future events.
Once that video got uploaded, it would undoubtedly awaken those related memories.
Damn it, Alaya!
You're supposed to be humanity's collective self-preservation instinct—are you really trying to drag all of humanity down with you?
Don't tell me you actually think I can handle a planetary ruler-level existence that's the merged form of the Demon God King with all memories restored plus Gaia?
"This might actually be possible," Gilgamesh mused thoughtfully.
Even with his [Sha Naqba Imuru—Omniscient and Omnipotent Star], he couldn't truly see through the little loli before him.
Coupled with the aura she emitted that rivaled the Primordial Mother Goddess,
And his bastard friend's so-called "protection" that was actually layers upon layers of seals comparable to the Chains of Heaven—
It all proved she was likely that terrifying existence!
So what exactly happened in that final battle?
Qin Shi Huang suddenly seemed to be deep in thought: "In the side story 'The First Holy Sword User,' the Starfall Vanguard presented is merely a cold, emotionless weapon of war, which seems quite different from what we see now?"
Indeed, it is completely different.
This is a war machine that exists solely to devour humanity and deities, to annihilate planets, devoid of any independent consciousness.
And the true form of the Starfall Vanguard, awakened from the moon.
Not only does it present a standard human form, but its gestures and reactions also seem very much like those of a human.
The uploader, Alaya, even thoughtfully provided a name—
[Starfall Vanguard: White Giant God, Saifalu!]
So, what happened later that allowed it to take on its current form and connect with Attila, the King of the Huns?
At that moment.
Even though the preview for the next video had already appeared.
Even Nameless, the original Holy Sword User, had completely vanished from the Age of Gods, yet the video still hadn't ended.
A line of subtitles popped up on the screen—
[Welcome back, stay tuned for more exciting content after the advertisement!]
"Wow, they can even insert an advertisement in the middle of the video?" Roya exclaimed in astonishment.
This Alaya seems to be getting more mischievous!
As a collective self-preservation consciousness of humanity, it shouldn't logically possess independent awareness.
It's more like the cold, unfeeling Dao of Heaven.
Heaven and Earth are indifferent, treating all things as mere fodder!
But now, with each video exposure, the humanity of the other side becomes increasingly apparent.
Could it be that the planetary consciousness, Gaia, which serves as a restraining force, can also possess human-like thoughts?
Roya couldn't help but click her tongue in wonder: "So, the next video is about the transformation of the Starfall Vanguard?"
Under the gaze of everyone.
The Starfall Vanguard had truly been defeated.
Its enormous body crumbled and disintegrated under the power of the Holy Sword.
The perspective shifted to the moon.
Its true form lay quietly asleep on the far side of the moon.
Lines of subtitles appeared—
[The White Giant God Saifalu was defeated, and its corpse was left behind on Earth.]
[The Starfall Vanguard on the moon suddenly had a dream.]
[In the year 406 AD, it dreamed of becoming a baby, a descendant of the Xiongnu on the steppe, named Attila.]
"Wow, this is really about the Starfall Vanguard!" Roya's eyes sparkled.
Alaya still has a big reveal prepared, ready to expose the other side for real.
What's even more interesting is.
This so-called "Scourge of God," the King of the Huns, is just like King Arthur, a girl disguised as a boy since childhood.
A familiar figure in a red cloak appeared before the young King of the Huns.
It was Nameless!
The barrage exploded in an instant—
-[Wow, it can't be said to be completely identical to King Arthur, but it's exactly the same!]
-[This must be Alaya's scheme, wanting Nameless to conquer the Starfall Vanguard from childhood and cultivate feelings?]
-[It's starting, it's starting, no one can resist the charm of the crowned beauty!]
-[Seriously, Nameless, hurry up and conquer the Starfall Vanguard that wants to destroy the Earth!]
...
This scene felt too familiar.
Previously, each of the heroic spirits had been protected and taught by Nameless since childhood, one by one wanting to charge into battle.
Before 406 AD.
The Xiongnu had already been completely defeated by the Han Dynasty.
Their descendants, the Huns, began their westward march.
In the Hun tribe, years of famine and disease had caused countless deaths.
They began to kill each other in madness.
A young girl was surrounded by this internal strife.
At that moment.
Nameless descended, effortlessly defeating all enemies, instilling fear in everyone.
The young girl, however, bravely grasped his hand: "Please teach me to become strong!"
"Oh, why do you desire power?"
Nameless asked calmly.
"I want to protect my family and my people!" The girl's voice was tender but resolutely answered.
"Then, as you wish."
Nameless reached out and patted her little head—
[The strongest crowned ultimate skill: Head Pat!]
Qin Shi Huang watched this scene with a slightly strange expression.
Back then, the teacher had treated him the same way, helping him grow rapidly from his youthful ignorance.
So, how many heads have you patted?
What complicated his feelings even more was.
Next.
Under Nameless's guidance, the young girl began to grow stronger at an astonishing rate.
From a weakling who was bullied by everyone, she completely transformed into the leader of the Hun tribe.
Later.
She was crowned as an emperor, known as the King of the Huns!
This process left Qin Shi Huang feeling complex.
Clearly, his teacher had taught numerous heroic spirits, making them all exceptional.
He didn't have them all to himself.
The only difference was.
After teaching Attila to become a heroic spirit, the teacher didn't continue to protect her.
Attila couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, why don't you fight alongside me?"
"Because I come from the Han Dynasty, which makes me your enemy," Nameless sighed softly.
"Teacher, I don't mind. I am willing to share the world with you."
She answered without hesitation.
Nameless smiled and patted her head: "Child, you have grown up; you need to learn to fly on your own."
For this King of the Huns, he didn't intend to intervene too much, taking on the role of a witness.
"Then, will we meet again?" Attila asked, lowering her head.
"We can meet when you need me the most."
Nameless's figure quietly vanished before her.
After he left.
The girl stood quietly in place.
After an unknown amount of time, she seemed like a sword drawn from its sheath, radiating sharpness.
"My name is Attila, a warrior of the Hun War God. From now on, I will conquer the entire world and win countless victories!"
Attila drew her sword and pointed it westward, "Teacher, just watch as I build a vast empire that surpasses the Han Dynasty!"
She was unwilling.
Why should her Hun Empire be inferior to the Han Dynasty?
As long as she completely surpassed the Han Dynasty, she could earn her teacher's true admiration.
The endless battles began.
The iron hooves of the Huns marched from Central Asia westward, cutting through the entire Eurasian continent.
She led her army to attack the Byzantine capital, Constantinople, twice.
After invading Gaul, now known as France, countless French people raised their hands in submission.
Finally, she even broke through Italy, capturing the capital of the Western Roman Empire, rendering it utterly defunct.
Her empire stretched from the Caspian Sea in the east to the Atlantic coast in the west, from the Danube River in the south to the Baltic Sea in the north, truly surpassing the territory of the Han Dynasty!
Each grand scene of war left countless people in shock—
-[This is the descendant of the Xiongnu, who was defeated by the Han Dynasty, yet they managed to conquer all of Europe?]
-[Wow, no wonder the Scourge of God is feared by Europeans, conquering half of the European continent!]
-[Has my glorious Roman Empire fallen again?]
-[Who would have thought that the Scourge of God, who conquered half of Europe, only wanted to seize Nameless?]
-[Nameless is amazing; Tamamo-no-Mae is ashamed!]
