[Eon's POV: ]
No one knew where that voice came from, no one understood what the strange energy they were feeling was, and no one knew why they suddenly felt that strange sensation just now.
But, they knew what they had just felt was not something simple. And, the voice that we all heard was something that perhaps every single person in the world might have heard at least once indirectly.
{ "..." }
It was a distinct voice.
And, just like me, the others also heard it as if it had come from very close.
It almost felt like the person that had said it was sitting right before me, but, in fact... the person this voice belonged to was not directly present in this conference.
[{ "Hey... Eon..." }]
[{ "Yeah. It's him..." }]
The best knight in the entire world, the strongest sword wielder, the man who surpassed heavens with his sheer will and passion, the one who possessed a unique aura like mine, the man who was well known with many of his titles... he was the first seat of house of prism, he was the master of adventurer's association, and he was the only known knight holding the honourable title of [{( Saint )}] in this era.
-Ooooooooong.
"Even I believe this is important, so let us just hear them out."
[{ "Yes. I'm sure." }]
There was no doubt about it.
This was the voice of Sword Saint Alexander.
The person who held a similar position in this world as the headmaster.
'Though he isn't present here physically...'
Somehow, he is able to transmit his voice in this place.
Perhaps there was a medium that he was using to do this, but the fact that he was not here was still the main thing.
'A saint...'
Master was also a saint, someone who had reached the pinnacle of their arts and had achieved a complete mastery of their origin.
But, unlike my master who was also a divine beast, Sir Alexander was a human. A normal human who was said to have awakened his aura when he was much older than me.
He was famous all throughout the world for his numerous achievements.
'He was not here himself, he was not someone who could be present among mortals for long anymore.'
They could not do it with sheer strength, they already possessed it and they knew using it would only result in a small war, nothing more.
What they were after was the complete destruction of the nations, nature, and the world. And to do that, they had gone as deep into the system as any larva possibly could.
'And now, they are in the phase of metamorphosis.'
That is the reason I placed this section before the section where the effects of their presence to nature and the other worldly elements is shown.
'I don't want to say it... but however they did it, they have already achieved a lot of what they wanted.'
They became an integral part of the world. They created a system that was so deep even we had not been able to decode it.
They operated in such a way that made it impossible for us to pinpoint even the base of their low ranking leaders.
'We did not know where the 'bishops' of their cult were, much less the pope.'
And then there were the people behind the pope that were said to possess power as immense as the higher beings.
'One would think this is funny and that one could just deal with them if they could deal with the leaders of the entirety of the cult.'
That would have been possible had they been something simple... but, they were not an army.
They were not a force, they were a cult.
Most of the people that followed them were absolutely loyal to their teachings and were indoctrinated to follow what they were taught.
The way their system was engraved in them made it possible for them to penetrate even the most important part of this world.
The reason they were everywhere was not because they were strong or even because they possessed a unique kind of demonic power.
They were strong because what they were doing was so good even the finest art might be incomparable to it.
And, they had been doing it for a very, very... very long time.
{ "I am in no position to offer any words of comfort. These are facts that we gathered with much difficulty, and I was only supposed to be here to present these facts." }
I may have power in various forms, but I do not have any legitimacy like all of them, so there is no authority that I hold when it comes to worldly matters.
I am not even a simple noble of the empire, much less someone holding important positions like them.
Still...
{ "I am sure all of us here still have many questions, so now that we are done, after the questions, if everyone wants to, we can directly continue with the next part of the presentation where we would like to suggest you how you can, at the very least, deal with this situation in a proper manner." }
We will also cover the impact of these beings on nature, so Rein will get the stage for that section. But still, what I will suggest now might not be something all of them will like.
Especially some of the angrier people who... well, are feeling betrayed.
Which is only natural, actually.
