Pretending To Be A Boss

Sequence —— N

—— Apocalypse-level Creature: Eden Demon Child. This is an extremely terrifying human-like creature, possessing tremendous intelligence, inherently full of cruelty, and should never be allowed into the human world. Once it disguises itself as a human, it becomes undetectable.

—— Among all apocalyptic creatures, they are the weakest yet most powerful. They are born without any power. However, everything in the world can be utilized for their growth.

—— Like Order Keepers, Demon Children possess almost divine vision. They also have what is known as a talent. Great order can see the full combat abilities of creatures.

—— And the most gifted Eden Demon Children can see through the deepest secrets of creatures' souls. They can even extract the unique abilities of other creatures by killing them.

—— Once they reach a certain stage of growth, there will be no creature in the world that can kill them; their growth is endless. The root of their evil, the destruction of human civilization, was caused by the Eden Demon Child leading the six Great Apocalypse Beasts.

—— All Eden Demon Children have been eliminated. But there may be some that slipped through the net, so please establish the Order of Judgment Knights promptly and head to the ruins of Eden.

This was the longest stele, divided into several sections, solely to clarify the nature of a creature known as the Eden Demon Child.

Shock was written on everyone's faces.

What was the calamity that brought human civilization into the Pyramid Era?

This stele finally provided an answer.

Though this answer was only a very general overview.

Tang Xian's expression was the most complicated.

His initial surprise quickly turned into doubt. Then, the doubt turned back into horror.

Tang Xiaojiu felt the sweat in Tang Xian's hand as she looked up at him.

Tang Xian began to control his emotions.

The impact of this section on him was simply too great because the description of the Eden Demon Child, the instigator of the great calamity, was exactly like himself.

Li Xiaoyu said,

"Although it's not detailed, this is the incomplete historical text, right?"

Tang Xian didn't speak. He wanted to say that this history was fake or raise some questions.

But in the end, he said nothing.

Li Xiaoyu felt it was strange but didn't ask any further.

"Let's go. The content of these steles, according to the ancestors' records, will vanish within a month after being read by humans. I will arrange for someone to record them. Now let's go see those Judgment Knights. That's our biggest gain this time. It will secure our position as the number one fortress."

Li Wanye's voice came.

He was the first to recover from the shock. Many scholars were still in amazement because there had always been many theories about the great calamity, but now finally, there was a definitive conclusion.

People began to shuffle their feet slowly.

Heading towards the distant bronze statues.

When the vaguely visible statues came into view, the group did not express the same astonishment as when they first saw the stele.

After all, only Li Wanye knew what sort of capabilities these Judgment Knights possessed.

"Don't underestimate these things that look no different from statues. They're quite something. Once activated, even within the Pyramid, they can exhibit power beyond that of a normal perfect-level creature."

"Overly modernized things cannot operate in the mining area, but these Judgment Knights are different—even in the mining area, they can still function."

With Li Wanye's introduction, people began to realize the value of the statues.

But Li Wanye did not mention how to produce Judgment Knights.

Tang Xian carefully recalled all the information he had seen earlier.

He confirmed there was no mention of what Li Wanye had just said. So how did Li Wanye know these things?

Could it be that, like himself, he suddenly received messages in his sea of consciousness?

Tang Xian didn't think too much about it but vaguely guessed that the Li family, as the fortress' lord's family, must know more secrets of the Pyramid.

The crowd continued moving forward, preparing to reach the end of the eighth level.

Although the ninth level was still very far away for the people of the present, everyone was still curious—

What are the conditions for opening the ninth level of the Pyramid?

The group slowly passed by the Judgment Knights.

Tang Xian found no other scents in his breath; the entire eighth level only had a massive amount of construction materials piled up at the edge, and ahead was a vast expanse of white.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, from behind everyone, there came the sound of the Judgment Knights.

Those lifeless, statue-like Judgment Knights began to move.

The sounds of metal friction and engine driving came.

People turned their heads back, puzzled and unaware.

Li Wanye was the most startled.

He had learned how to drive the Judgment Knights during the lord's recognition ceremony.

As the strongest alloy equipment for the future fortresses, to activate the Judgment Knights required the lord's personal authorization.

There was only one situation in which the Judgment Knights would activate on their own.

Their base code contained two lines: one to serve the lord, and the other to eliminate any existence that could threaten the fortress.

—— Mining area creature invasion detected.

—— Self-activation initiated.

A cold, emotionless synthetic electronic voice sounded,

Every person in the eighth level fortress was horrified.

Mining area creature invasion? At this very moment?

Even Li Wanye's mind was a bit foggy. Could it be that these Judgment Knights had been dormant for too long and malfunctioned?

—— Assessing the level of invading creature.
