1138. Defection
"No, Gudos and I are not in the same group!" Quintas suddenly realized something and kept shaking his head.
The faces of the great elders changed!
This guy actually went back on his word?
Even Ales was shocked and stared at him, "You don't admit that you are in the same group as him? Do you know, what a sacred place this is, how can you change it just by saying that?"
"No, please don't be wrong!" Quintasa was panicked and kept shaking her head.
"I didn't lie... I admit that I did come with him and killed people. However, I don't agree with his approach... I don't agree at all, that's not my intention." He said incoherently, "If I really want to ask the reason, I can only say... I did those things because I was coerced by him, but please believe me, that's really not my will!"
“Coerced?!”
Then, Quintasha told the story of the advance team of the Northern Expedition Army, and said in full how Gudos threatened himself and determined to kill those unarmed alien races, in order to express his position.
Regarding Gudos' strange means, he just admitted that he also saw the thing in the void and helped Ales unconsciously, without knowing anything else.
"But your power does affect the battle! You also saved me with that power, is this true? Why did you do this?"
Aless's tone gradually grew higher and his emotions became a little excited. "I don't believe that even the Dragon Clan's Spirit-Suppressing Seal cannot compete with it! But you...you can easily break the shackles of that powerful mental power! Why is this? Do you also have the ability of that guy?"
Countless Spirit-Stocking Runes flashed this light, and Quintasa was completely panicked.
"Yes, but that action may be mental power, which I did unconsciously... no... how to say it, I really don't know what power it is."
"What was unconscious?" Aless was shocked.
"I was affected by the strange sound... I was in chaos at that time... I had no idea what I was doing. I thought, if that power could fight against the darkness that appeared in nothingness, it should be related to my birth power, right? Some innate ability, the soul-forging masters of the Kunting Empire called it the power of soul." Kuntasha repeatedly emphasized.
"Can the power of souls be born to life?" After saying this, Ales finally stopped asking questions and stood there blankly.
What Quintasha said was exactly the same as the elders' speculation before, and they obviously knew it.
"I heard from Gudos that the human empire sent troops to the north to find more soul crystals. They believe that more clues about that thing can be found here."
The elders looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they signaled Quintasha to continue.
So, Kuntasha also talked about the rumors she heard from the Kunting people. Although it was unclear and did not know whether it would affect the views of the owners here, he still said it.
"So where did the Kunting people hear this kind of rumor?" Elder Lei said.
"And what is your ultimate goal?" Elder Gong asked impatiently.
"I don't know... I don't know where this rumor was circulated." Kuntasha looked helpless. He could not reveal the news that he didn't know, so he could only tell the Kunting people's plan to create thirteen gods.
"I guess their purpose is to create more lives as powerful as me, and to make their empire invincible, there should be thirteen in the plan."
"Thirteen?" Elder Gong asked in surprise, "So, are you the first experimental life they created?"
"No, I'm the second one." Quintasa shook her head as she looked at the elders.
"What was the first artificial life form? Where are you going now?"
"He is called Soul Nightmare. It is said that because his power is too violent and no one can control it, he was exiled."
Exile? The elders were shocked!
How can humans treat dark creatures in such a hasty way of doing it?
After Quintasa finished speaking, the sanctuary was silent. The elders of the Dragon Clan knew the terribleness of the power of souls and looked at each other.
They had a premonition that the situation was very difficult, beyond imagination, and completely out of control. Some people even recalled the dark century in ancient books, when the ancestors of the dragon clan had faced countless terrifying creatures.
Those creatures come from the underground abyss, lava, mantle, unknown deep sea, and chaos void. The ancestors of the Dragon Clan once followed the Genshin Impact to conquer the known world. Are they now facing the chaos that is overwhelming and about to sweep away mortals?
It is absolutely not possible, the dragon clan was born to defend the world.
As the interrogation was basically over, Quintasa heard the figures of the interrogators disappear into the light curtain and began to discuss what was quiet.
The elders' voices were very small, and the vibrations of the air were extremely weak. Even Quintasha's powerful hearing could not distinguish the intermittent syllables in every sentence. This place could isolate the sounds - needless to say, this was one of the functions of those blue light curtains, so that such a powerful prisoner could not perceive the true thoughts of the interrogator.
The amount of information Quintasa seemed to be too huge, so it took a certain amount of time to digest it before she could draw a conclusion. So the elders of the Dragon Clan discussed it enthusiastically for a long time.
Elder Lei first spoke, "It is obvious that humans have mastered the power of that taboo - they have created uncontrollable creatures for their own desires and for their empires, and they think they are self-deserving gods. They did not consider that doing so would harm their compatriots and other races in the world."
"The dark things will always exist in the world and will not become extinct."
Elder Gong Duola also nodded and said, "But we still can't figure out whether they are here to satisfy their desires, or to obtain more crystals or invade other races. Are the real beneficiaries really themselves?"
"No matter what, their ignorant actions have had an impact on the whole world, and for other races," Elder Long said frankly. "The wisdom of the dragon mother cannot make decisions on our behalf. It will only provide data help. Now, it is our job to make a decision, so we have to quickly decide whether to interfere in mortal affairs."
Another elder said, "The man named Gudos is very evil. As a human being, he possesses that kind of unusual power. The dark creature will never give up returning to this world. For this reason, we must quickly investigate this matter before we can explain to our ancestors."
Everyone nodded and agreed.
Now that things have come to this point, perhaps the key to solving all mysteries is to solve all mysteries. But Gudos cannot be brought here for interrogation, because the dark power he was soaked in was too powerful, and he could not effectively control him after leaving the Ice Tomb, so he could only be temporarily imprisoned.
