The final image showed an indistinct face of a goddess, holding a drop of blood in her hands.
"The monster is a curse from the world. Only truly pure and kind human blood can suppress the monster that hasn't fully recovered. Otherwise, for those who hold the throne, the monster is an absolutely undefeatable existence."
With the last image, the entire origin and story of the monster were revealed to everyone.
Everyone fell into silence, as each felt genuine terror deep in their hearts.
The ninth-level thrones that belonged to humans... were actually the monster's? Moreover... each throne corresponded to an attribute and a body part. Once the monster reclaimed its body and power, it would become even stronger.
"If that's the case... am I the monster's torso then?" Ding, the one with the strongest endurance, frowned.
Everyone was momentarily silent, reluctant to admit this fact but sensing the truth.
Whenever a ninth-level person died or abdicated, those who rose to replace them always had something special.
For example, Sword Elder's learning talent made him the most experienced.
Allen's wisdom, Jia's perception, and even Barre had to admit this fact.
His weapon was a sword passed down through generations, the sharpest weapon on the continent, inherited along with the throne by the next successor.
"The truth lies here... Now our problem is... where can we find truly pure and kind human blood..." Allen said after flipping through the book.
The following pages were mostly genealogies of the Guardian clan, nothing worth examining.
"But... do such people really exist in this world?" Sword Elder frowned.
This was the biggest question troubling everyone. Whether such people exist or not is a problem.
Humans are greedy. Without desire... are they still humans?
"I don't know! But... given the current situation, we must unite!" Allen raised his head and looked at Sword Elder. His words made Sword Elder slightly stunned.
"If we don't mobilize the entire continent to search... sooner or later the monster will catch us all and kill us... and then, this world will truly be finished..." Allen said seriously.
Everyone fell silent. Yes, now was a crucial time.
It was no longer a time for war. If they did not find that so-called truly pure and kind human...
Then... no doubt, it would not be long before the monster transformed into its gigantic form and returned to its original body.
"You're right. At this point, there is no other way. Then... I'll join!" The boxing king shrugged helplessly.
He had fought the monster and naturally knew what it felt like.
Just as the one swallowed had said... they were simply not on the same level.
You could see from that reckless one, instantly drained of all energy, becoming a dried corpse.
"I'll join too. I don't want to become the monster's bracer~!" Bing squinted.
From his fast attack speed, he guessed what kind of thing was under his seat.
"If it were before, I'd probably mock you all, but now never mind, I'll join as well!" Ding nodded. Though not smart, he knew it wasn't time to act alone.
Allen then looked at the last, Sword Elder, who said nothing but simply nodded in agreement.
"Then... what we must prioritize now... is to stay as far away from that monster as possible, then mobilize the full power of the three empires and the entire continent to search for that pure person... and the most important point!! Absolutely no one must die!!" Allen said solemnly.
If they died... there would be real trouble... If they weren't killed by the monster,
Then the throne would be vacated, and a bunch of oblivious eighth-levels would rush to claim it.
If any of those unaware ones died near the monster... that would be like handing equipment to the monster.
He clearly understood the record's explanation: what changes is the throne, not the person.
So what really matters is the ninth-level throne itself, not who sits on it.
The throne can move, but as long as it catches the one sitting on it, it can snatch the power!
This was Allen's real worry. The monster was already very troublesome.
If another one were to be added at will... no need to think further, surrender would be the only option.
"Barre, you go with Sword Elder to search over there. Two per region, have Sword Elder explain later~!" Allen bowed to Sword Elder.
Because Sword Elder was one of the two ninth-levels from that empire, and the other was the one who had died recklessly.
"Understood!" Sword Elder nodded and then turned to leave.
Allen sighed lightly watching them depart, then looked at Jia and let out a helpless breath.
"Come with me to see the last living person. He must know something~!" Allen said to Jia.
"Hm? Okay!" Jia was a bit surprised but nodded and followed Allen toward the previous town.
In the following time, the entire continent began to mobilize.
The thing Allen feared did happen: the monster disappeared, or rather, the trackers lost it.
But then Allen realized... had that person's power been absorbed?
Sure enough, after sensing again, there were only seven thrones left; the one possessed by the host was gone.
The throne's power wasn't just anything — it had concealment powers, so losing track was normal.
Upon returning to the city, the unconscious boy Allen arranged care for also woke up.
He brought a very important piece of information: the stone tablet at Floating Cloud Village's entrance was a remnant of the monster's material.
It had been collected by their clan. To test for pure bloodlines, one only needed to drip blood on the stone.
If the stone cracked, not from violence, that person's blood definitely suppressed the monster.
Upon learning this, Allen immediately cut the stone into three parts and brought it to the border city.
He also gave the other two parts to others to use for blood testing.
This made him breathe a sigh of relief, for saying someone is truly pure and kind is easy — but proving it is another matter. If they had a way to test, that was the best outcome.
