Chapter 2510 By Design
Her words stirred the leaders of human civilization.
It even earned her a frown from several of them. They didn't understand.
They didn't understand what she meant.
They had faced the threat of the Beast Incursion head-on and had fought it head-on. What did she mean when she said that they had yet to understand the threat of the Beast Incursion?
"I'm sure that the experts in each of your nations have explained that the Beast Incursion will be a chronic threat to all of human civilization," she began. "I'm sure they have informed you that the condition for human victory lies in ensuring that the proportional death rate of the beasts and monsters is higher than that of the Martial Artists. I'm sure they have informed you that the Beast Incursion will occur in discrete beast tides due to varying migrative speed. I'm sure that they have informed you about much that may have led at least some of you to believe that you understand what the threat of the Beast Incursion means."
Her words caused the air to tingle.
The atmosphere grew electric.
She had nailed the intelligence outlook of human civilization, perfectly highlighting that her words were not merely her underestimating the leaders of human civilization and their ability to understand this apocalypse. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In that case, it made her words regarding their ignorance more credible.
This made many leaders extremely nervous.
Just what had they missed about the true threat of the Beast Incursion?
The notion that the Beast Incursion was artificially induced by some non-human entity in the center of the Beast Domain was a terrifying realization. They would not be able to sleep knowing that such an extraordinary entity lurked in the depths of the Beast Domain.
"My evidence for this claim is as follows." She raised a finger. "Firstly, I have many laboratories around the perimeter of the Beast Domain. They are equipped with active and esoteric audiometers that measure sound. Collecting sonic data from the Beast Domain allows me to study the Beast Domain from yet another dimension of data, increasing my understanding of the field. More importantly, I collected data on the sound of the horrific roar that preceded the Beast Incursion."
She pressed another button on the device which produced marks of the location of her bases around the outer perimeter of the Beast Domain.
"By measuring the differing intensities of the roar at different bases, I was able to precisely decipher the exact location of the source of this horrifying roar and..."
A dot appeared at the very center of the Beast Domain.
"That is the precise location of the source of the monstrous roar of the Beast Domain," she softly remarked with a hint of wonder, before shaking her head lightly. "Coincidentally enough, that spot is the exact radial center of the Beast Domain. As in, it is the spot that is most equidistant from the points of the perimeter of the Beast Domain. I find it rather curious that the source of the roar is at the mathematical center of the Beast Domain. Yet, that's not all. It also just so happens to be at the very center towards which beasts and monsters used to migrate towards in the Beast Convergence Theory that I myself once postulated."
The Beast Convergence Theory was a scientific ecological theory that the Ecologer had long since postulated. The scientific community had discovered relatively recently that it was actually true. The Ecologer had stumbled upon this truth a century before the rest of the scientific community had finally caught up to her. It was a macro-ecology theory that hypothesized that all beasts and monsters were constantly migrating to what appeared to be the center of the Beast Domain.
No one understood why or how, but when one processed the migration patterns of billions of species over countless regions in what was a mind-numbing amount of data, the pattern became clear.
On a large scale, beasts and monsters were clearly moving towards the very epicenter of the Beast Domain.
"And somehow this center perfectly coincides with the inception of the roar, as well as the mathematical center of the Beast Domain," she elaborated with a hint of curiosity. "This is highly implausible to be a coincidence. The probability of it being a coincidence is less than one in a trillion. What is more likely is that..."
Her gaze swept across all the leaders of humanity. "...Is that this was by design."
