"Gilgash of four thousand years ago…"
"With one hand, he held up the entire human race. His might was unmatched. Even I had a asure of respect for him…"
"Back then, although humanity had only him as its single supre powerhouse, no one dared look down on them…"
"Now Gilgash sleeps, and the Uruk Empire has fallen…"
"What kind of rotten trash are the people of this era supposed to be?!"
There was not the slightest attempt to hide Ironblood Wushuang's contempt for the humans of the present era.
Yet at the sa ti, his admiration for the Ancient King was unmistakable.
"How can this guy's opinion of an entire race depend on just one person?"
"The Ancient King… Gilgash… just what kind of charisma did he have, that he alone could hold up the entire human race and make a powerful race like the Nether Race look at him in a different light?"
In a plaza on the Sabaody Archipelago, a group of pirates with no small bounties stood frozen, Ironblood Wushuang's words echoing again and again in their minds.
Ironblood Wushuang—and even the Nether Race as a whole—actually held a trace of respect for the Ancient King Gilgash of another race?
That kind of influence, that kind of strength…
If one day they could reach such heights, wouldn't that be more glorious than even becoming Pirate King?
Their heated eyes flashed with ambition.
Among the pirates who had made it as far as the Sabaody Archipelago, there were naturally so who were no different from low-level pirates, n who had beco pirates simply for the sake of it.
But there were even more who had far greater ambitions than those ordinary pirates.
Ironblood Wushuang's words struck the Five Elders and the World Governnt almost head-on.
After all, the humans of the current era were, in essence, led by them and ruled by the World Governnt.
Ironblood Wushuang's words were no different from comparing them directly to the Ancient King Gilgash.
And the result was obvious.
They had lost utterly.
Outside Impel Down, Akainu nearly exploded on the spot.
Already filled with killing intent after fighting Ironblood Wushuang and the others, seeing the man openly praise the Ancient King Gilgash—the very one who had severed the back of his hand—while belittling both the World Governnt and himself—
It was more than he could bear.
Had Kizaru not quietly reached out and tugged him back, then perhaps…
He would have already hurled a Hound Blaze straight at them.
"The Ancient King… is he truly that terrifying?"
"And… just what level did his strength reach, for even a Nether Race Great General like you to hold him in such high regard?"
Following the Five Elders' low-voiced instructions in his ear, Commander CP0-7 asked the question that nearly every powerful force and expert across the sea had been waiting to hear.
The Ancient King—
He had effortlessly suppressed the three Admirals by himself and even severed the back of Akainu's hand.
To the World Governnt, his true strength remained a complete mystery.
"It's been four thousand years since I last saw him… so I can't say for sure whether he was affected by that great war back then."
"But I do know this…"
"At his peak, Gilgash's strength was enough to faintly surpass even our Grand Marshal!"
Tilting his head, Ironblood Wushuang thought for a mont before answering.
He did not directly reveal the Ancient King's exact level of strength, nor did he say much about the Nether Race Grand Marshal, Defying the Heavens.
Because Defying the Heavens had never instructed them on that point.
Not even Defying the Heavens himself could predict what kind of followers or role templates the Strongest Role-Playing System might draw in the future.
If they said too much now, it would be far too easy to leave behind flaws later.
"Grand Marshal!"
The Five Elders, Commander CP0-7, Akainu, and the others all instantly caught the key point in Ironblood Wushuang's words.
Grand Marshal!
Another overwhelming existence they had never heard of before.
And yet the Ancient King Gilgash was even stronger than this so-called Grand Marshal?
As though noticing the confusion in Commander CP0-7 and the others' eyes, Hanfeng Linlin spoke from within the freezing winds, his voice as cold as ever.
"Our Nether Race Grand Marshal… possesses extraordinary strength and stands as the strongest in the Nether Race, commanding all Nether Race warriors!"
"His reputation and power are considered exceptional even among the Hundred Races!"
"In the great war four thousand years ago, he even displayed the terrifying might to defeat the Divine Race's strongest Sage King—Heavenly Martial Sage King!"
(Not including the True God Sage King.)
"That battle shook the Hundred Races and allowed our Nether Race to faintly rise into the position of leader among the five great war races!"
"The Nether Race Grand Marshal…"
Countless people across the sea muttered the title under their breath, gradually piecing things together.
This powerful race from four thousand years ago—the Nether Race—was slowly lifting the veil on a small portion of its mystery.
The Nether Race's Thirteen Great Generals, along with the Nether Race Grand Marshal—
For them to beco the foremost among the five great war races, the Nether Race's strength truly could not be underestimated.
Even Akainu, whose rage had been boiling to the point that magma had begun leaking uncontrollably from his body, gradually cald down.
Though he was hot-tempered, impulsive, and utterly intolerant when it ca to justice, the fact that he had beco an Admiral-level powerhouse ant he naturally understood what to value and what to let go.
The strength being revealed now was simply too terrifying.
Under such circumstances, even capturing Hanfeng Linlin and Ironblood Wushuang would accomplish nothing.
The best option was to use the two of them as a bridge and establish contact with the Nether Race.
"The Divine Race's strongest Sage King, the Heavenly Martial Sage King… was defeated by this Nether Race Grand Marshal?"
"In other words… the final result of that war four thousand years ago was that the Divine Race lost…"
"If that's the case… then the Divine Race isn't truly invincible after all!"
