Through that abnormal lingering spirit, Zheng Yichen found a ’Pit of Ten Thousand’, filled with broken fragnts. Du Gang picked up a piece and looked at it, his expression somber: "It’s human remains."
In Zheng Yichen’s hand was another fragnt, a finger: "Did they beco sacrifices?"
After further searching, he simply had Lilith scan the area. Lilith’s scan revealed more detailed information; the scattered fragnts on the ground could be pieced together into human shapes, except the most crucial hearts were missing.
It wasn’t just a few missing—all of them were.
Analysis of the fragnts suggested that approximately fourteen thousand people had died here.
"Fourteen thousand people, even more than we’ve killed. Did they gather all the Devourers here?" Looking at this data, Du Gang’s face grew even more solemn.
Devourers wouldn’t just kill each other for no reason; if they did this, they must have had an important purpose.
"Perhaps they used them as materials?" As Zheng Yichen spoke, the Crystal in his hand turned to dust, and he now held a bundle of Sky Pillar’s energy, softer than the energy released by the Sky Pillar itself.
"They ran away??" Du Gang’s brows shot up, about to react but then sighed: "Never mind, if they insist on running, there’s nothing we can do."
This could be seen from the Devourers spreading information about the Devouring Sky Pillar everywhere.
Despite the frustration, they still had to proceed with their tasks thodically by dismantling the Devouring Sky Pillar.
This ti, there was no real resistance encountered, and dealing with this matter did not improve his mood significantly. It seed that a Devouring Faction was headed for total Destruction, yet they hadn’t completely eradicated them, leaving them sowhat unsatisfied.
Moreover, the enemies’ technique of escaping with their gains just added insult to injury; they had run off and made a point of disgusting him in the process.
"It’s alright this way. Those Devourers will need a lot of ti to rebuild after escaping, at least they won’t be causing trouble for decades." Zheng Yichen consoled.
"I still prefer to completely annihilate them. Next one!" Du Gang brandished his God Shocking Saber and proceeded to the next location with a Devouring Sky Pillar, adamant that not one should be left standing.
Upon arriving at this new location, Zheng Yichen found another Pit of Ten Thousand, and the place was also cordoned off by the local military forces.
On their way here, Lilith had already warned them; she was capable of interfering with the networks of this World, but there was a limit to what she could do on the internet, and she couldn’t directly interfere with internal networks.
And as for military mobilizations, if they had strong execution abilities, she also couldn’t normally interfere, but abnormal interference was possible; she could take direct control of so local Weapons and use them to block the army.
However, they ca here to deal with Devourers, not to spread terror, so Zheng Yichen did not let her do so.
"The local military forces, huh? Should we negotiate with them?" Du Gang held his Weapon and gazed at the military forces that had sealed off the Devouring Sky Pillar. The Devourers were gone from here.
"Negotiate? Argue with those politicians?" Zheng Yichen imdiately shook his head. The Devouring Sky Pillar had been abandoned by the Devourers, and the local military forces coming to take over was suspicious. The implication was hardly a secret.
Perhaps the people here could even be seen as being used by the Devourers to buy ti.
Giving the Devourers who were preparing to flee enough ti ant they could take even more with them.
"Hahaha, since we’re not going to negotiate, let’s just take action." Du Gang laughed heartily: "Anyway, they can’t do much about it."
As the two of them approached, soone stood out.
"Hold on, this place has been taken over by the military. There are no Devourers here anymore; you guys have nothing to do with this!!"
"Now? Are you joking? Just clear off, we’ll dismantle that pillar and then leave!" Du Gang glared at the speaker, showing no sign of amiability.
He was well aware that those who took over here would beco the new Devourers. After gaining control of the Devouring Sky Pillar, the benefits were too great. Even if it was not used to devour other worlds, they could still gain powerful Strength.
Just the use of Sky Pillar’s energy alone could place the people of this World at the pinnacle of combat strength.
There was a complete disparity in power between those bolstered by Sky Pillar’s energy and those without; only those with the combat power of a Dusk rcenary could withstand it.
The problem was that being confined to a single World, there was only one Power System within this World, and the lack of adequate exchange made it hard to achieve breakthroughs.
Dusk rcenaries were different; they could travel to any World and engage in more exchanges within different Power Systems, acquiring more unique thods to bridge gaps in combat power.
Therefore, Sky Pillar’s energy was not absolute in front of Dusk rcenaries.
It all depended on the amount. With normal usage, Dusk rcenaries could respond, but with excessive use, the absolute gap rendered other thods inadequate.
So, if Dusk rcenaries couldn’t contain the developnt of Sky Pillars imdiately, they would lose the battle that followed.
"In this World, you are the invaders. The Sky Pillar has always been the property of this World, and you have no right to deal with it!" The negotiator stood his ground unyieldingly.
Behind him, the military forces and those controlled Sky Pillar cannon platforms were their confidence!
