"Are you kidding? Could it be that human beings have lived too comfortably over the years, and there are no defenses for the imperial capital?" Anthony was obviously shocked, after all, tens of millions of people were instantly destroyed in front of their eyes, and this extremely impactful picture was not acceptable to normal people.

Even the most unbelievable thing his famously crazy teacher, the witch Bi Xiu, did in his life was to wipe out millions of alien armies in one fell swoop. Compared to the picture in the prophecy, it is not an order of magnitude difference, not to mention that most of the people destroyed in the prophecy are unarmed civilians!

"If I tell you that the Imperial Capital not only has the Holy See's most powerful Divine Defense Circle, the Holy Light Guardian, but also the Magicians' Guild's 'Crystal Barrier', plus the Imperial Army's Ancient Defense Magic Array, I wonder what you would say about the Imperial Capital's defense measures?"

"It depends on how these three circles work together. In my opinion, the most perfect way to match it is to directly combine the ancient defense circle with the architecture of the imperial capital, supplemented by the protection of the Holy Light that can resist all evil magic, and the crystal barrier known for its absolute defense. Anthony said with a deep groan.

At least this kind of protection seemed flawless to him, and even the super forbidden spell "World Destroying Heavenly Tribulation" that his mentor witch Bi Xiute used when he destroyed millions of alien armies back then could not really cause substantial damage to the imperial capital under such defense. Of course, it was impossible to go unharmed, after all, it was a super forbidden spell that had only been used by Bischut so far, but Anthony was sure of one thing, that is, the World Destruction Tribulation would never be able to cause the terrible consequences as predicted.

"I assure you that the Imperial Capital's defenses are as you expected, and even exceed, after all, many newly developed defenses have been added over the past two thousand years, at least the Grand Duke of Bavaria has provided a set of extremely powerful defenses belonging to the mechanical civilization 'Defensive Heart' - by the way, thanks to the selfless dedication of His Excellency the Grand Duke, this defense system was provided to the Empire for nothing, which is simply incredible to the gold-loving Grand Duke. Coughlon smacked his lips and sighed.

"Attention, you're off topic. Anthony's reminder made Coughlon blush.

"So I can't imagine that under such strict protection, the imperial capital will be wiped out by a single blow without the ability to resist, such a power is comparable to divine punishment!" Anyone who sees the place where he has lived and worked so hard for hundreds of years being destroyed in this way will do no better than Coughlen.

As the owner of the Eye of Light, Coughlen had seen more than Anthony, but he saw that before this divine punishment fell, all the protective measures in the entire imperial capital had been turned on to the maximum power, and even then he didn't hold on for even a second. This completely destroyed all hopes for Coughlen.

"When will this future happen?" asked Anthony, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

"In the near future, no more than 10 years at most. "Coughlen's words undoubtedly sentenced everyone in the imperial capital to death. It's ridiculous that those frogs at the bottom of the well are still living a rotten life of drunkenness at this time, and they don't know it when they die.

"You also said just now that no Lord God dares to directly meddle in the affairs of the Eliad continent in the face of the world's condemnation, so where does this power come from?" Anthony still couldn't believe that anyone would be so bold.

It didn't appear in the prophecy. However, since the person who launched this attack dared to do so, he must have relied on it. The only thing that is certain is that this power can never come from the Lord of Light. - Do you still have doubts about our plans?" asked Coughlon as he raised his eyes, and Anthony noticed that Coughlon's pupils had turned red at some point.

"Are you infected by the BloodClan?" Anthony startled, the blood-colored pupils were one of the most striking features of the Bloodline.

"No, I'm just saddened. If that's what the future looks like, does what we're doing now still make sense?" Coughren seemed to ask Anthony, and as if to himself.

"I'll answer your first question first. Since I am willing to participate in our project, and have spent 2,000 years on it, I trust my own judgment, and we should definitely carry it out. The flames on Anthony's body had completely dissipated at some point, and a majestic old man wearing this gorgeous fiery red robe appeared in front of Coughren, which was the true face of the Fire Demon's hand.

"The second question, since the future you foresaw suddenly appeared, obviously not expected by the person who made our plan in the first place, we can make targeted arrangements according to the prediction, at least to minimize the losses. You should know better than I am that prophecy cannot be changed, but it is not without precedent for reinterpretation. Anthony reminded vaguely.

"You're right!" Kauflon's eyes lit up, in a sense, although the picture presented in the oracle was destined to happen, how to interpret it, different prophets had different methods.

When Kauvron began his study of oracles, His Majesty Pope Gyllenhaal had taught him that if the oracle prophecy was not satisfactory, then it could be remedied in advance, and countless facts in history have proved that it is very foolish to just look at the results of the prophecy, and that any bad prophecy can be reversed to an acceptable range after hard work, even if the picture in the prophecy is bound to happen.

At that time, Coughren did not fully understand the teachings of the Pope's crown, even now, but now he has finally been completely defeated by the terrible prophetic picture just now because of the teachings of the Pope's crown, leaving a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"I can tell you one more thing, the people who made our plan in the first place also came up with this plan that lasted for two thousand years because they saw a certain prophecy image. Anthony revealed a little. This secret was apparently known only to those who had been involved in the development of the plan in the first place, and it was apparently unknown to the executors who succeeded him later.

"It's a prophecy again!" Coughren smiled helplessly, "I really don't know if it's a good thing to be able to predict the future?"

"Someday this spell against the sky will be withdrawn by the Lord of Light. The reason why this spell still exists now is because the main gods still need to send us some messages through oracles. Anthony naturally saw more clearly than Coughren and knew the nature of the prophecy better than he did, even though he was not a believer in the Lord of Light.
