Chapter 2511 Shifting Outlook
Her words shook a lot of leaders.
The notion that the ecology of the Beast Domain, its migration patterns, and the location of the source of the roar were all by design rather than by chance was truly terrifying. If it was true, it had bone-chilling and blood-curdling implications that very few had the courage to grapple with and face head-on.
Perhaps the only person who wasn't moved by this insight was the Emperor of Harmony.
He had received this insight from none other than the Elder Tree itself, which was perhaps the one and only entity whose knowledge and understanding of the Beast Domain exceeded that of the Ecologer.
The fact that the two most knowledgeable experts on the Beast Domain had independently come to similar conclusions on the nature of the Beast Domain was extremely compelling and persuasive evidence to Emperor Rael.
As far as he was concerned, it was the truth.
"In addition to this circumstantial evidence, I have also recorded and recreated the strange self-overlapping roar that emerged from the center of the Beast Domain and conducted several experiments with it to study its effects in consultation with none other than the Divine Doctor himself," she continued. "The results of our study have been enlightening."
She pressed another button on her device, causing the map of the Beast Domain to disappear as another slide featuring graphs, pie charts, and other statistical distributions appeared.
"We conducted an experiment on ten thousand beasts from ten thousand species, subjecting each of them to the recreated roar," she began. "We accounted for genus, weight-class, esoteric content in their body by body mass, as well as threat-level classification, and other parameters relating to the brain and the mind. The results are..." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"You must forever shift and alter your mindsets regarding not just the Beast Incursion, but also the Beast Domain and perhaps this entire world," she warned them. "You are not dealing with a natural catastrophe, nor merely a stroke of horrible luck. No. You are dealing with one or more non-human entities within the Beast Domain that are most likely highly intelligent and are most likely the enemy of human civilization."
This was an extremely heavy warning that none of them dared to dismiss. It sent chills across their skin at the very thought that, all this time, a threat and enemy unlike anything human civilization had ever faced in their entire lives lurked in the depths of the Beast Domain.
The fact that they somehow also knew its exact location made it feel even more terrifying. It was less vague and more real.
Regardless, they appreciated the insights of the Ecologer. She had very thoroughly eroded away the mindset that they had possessed up until now in the way that they approached this apocalypse.
It was not an apocalypse.
No.
It was a war.
A war that they were currently losing.
"Everything that I have covered up until now was merely to adjust your understanding of the past so that you can adopt the right approach and mindset from here on out," she remarked. "Now, however, I will move on to the future. I will move on to elucidating exactly what the future of the Beast Incursion holds for us."
