Chapter 499: The Former Ghosts and the Latter Ghosts

"Prophecy?" Su Chen was taken aback. I asked you a practical question, and you respond with this?

"I've never believed in prophecies. They're all nonsense," Su Chen replied directly.

"I didn't believe in them either, but when I encountered the first group of former Ghost Clan members, oh, I named these Ghost Clan members without Ghost Patterns 'former Ghost Clan,' while those with Ghost Patterns are 'latter Ghost Clan,'" Libra explained.

Su Chen nodded. This way, it would be easy to distinguish between the two types of Ghost Clan members. He had to admit that Libra had come up with a good name.

"When the first former Ghost Clan member saw me, he immediately knelt down and said that I was the leader who would lead the former Ghost Clan to the pinnacle of life. At first, I thought he might be a bit silly. However, when I saw a picture and a sentence in their tribe, I suddenly realized that prophecies might indeed exist in the world."

"Is the person in the picture you? What was the sentence?" Su Chen furrowed his brow. How could there be a picture of Libra in this world? Libra was a persona he had summoned from the Red Alert system, essentially a civilian version of the Super Soldiers. It was impossible for such a character to exist in this world.

"Commander, you're indeed clever. The person in the picture is me. The sentence conveys a single message: 'Follow in my footsteps, and they will have the opportunity to bask in the sun once again.'"

Su Chen rubbed his chin. The meaning of that sentence was quite clear. They were to obey Libra's command. However, what was the origin of this item and phrase? Without waiting for Su Chen to ask, Libra continued, "I also asked them who left these things, but no one knew. It seemed like as soon as they became conscious, these items had already begun circulating among the former Ghost Clan members. Strangely, none of the latter Ghost Clan members knew about this."

"Did they really entrust all the former Ghost Clan members to you so easily?" Su Chen found it hard to believe.

Even if there were ancestral items involved, it was unlikely that strangers would be trusted so easily. There had to be some process involved.

As expected, Libra explained, "Impressive, Commander. You've guessed it. After learning that I might be the one leading them to the surface, a group of old folks appeared. They wanted to test me. At that time, I had just transitioned to my second persona..."

Libra didn't finish her sentence, but Su Chen immediately had a bad feeling about it.

After a moment, Libra continued, "My second persona has a somewhat quirky personality. She didn't like those old folks, so she eliminated them directly. It wasn't just them; she also casually killed tens of thousands of former Ghost Clan members."

Su Chen's expression became strange. Killing so many people, it's no wonder she's known as the Witch. However, even with these actions, why would the former Ghost Clan members follow her orders? They should hold a grudge against her. Why did they obey her so willingly?

Su Chen could tell that these former Ghost Clan members genuinely obeyed Libra's commands from the bottom of their hearts, not just putting on a show.

As she continued, Libra's tone became somewhat helpless. "This brings us to the second prophecy. After I finally gained control over my body, another former Ghost Clan member approached me. He showed me a new picture, which featured my second persona's appearance, and there was also a sentence..."

"If the person from before turns into this person, killing a large number of people, then she will be a unique existence, destined to lead you to greatness!"

Su Chen's mouth twitched. This was like patching a bug, wasn't it? The previous prophecy was incorrect, and now there's another one to make up for it. This kind of operation was truly astonishing.

However, how could ordinary people possibly know about Libra's dual personalities? More importantly, Libra's two personas had distinct external appearances, which made it easy to tell which one was dominant at any given moment.

In other words, both prophecies perfectly matched the situations at the time. Moreover, almost all of the most powerful former Ghost Clan members had perished at Libra's hands. Regardless of their original intentions, the former Ghost Clan members had no choice but to rely on Libra.

Libra possessed Psychic powers, and she could sense the goodness or malice in people's hearts. Once some of the former Ghost Clan members realized this, they dared not harbor any ill intentions toward Libra. Over time, they had grown accustomed to life under Libra's leadership.

After Libra gained control of the former Ghost Clan members, she couldn't stay there indefinitely. Her next step was to lead the former Ghost Clan members in facing the latter Ghost Clan!

"By the way, what's the situation with the former Ghost Clan? Why did they abandon their hostility toward humans and instead target the latter Ghost Clan?" Su Chen couldn't quite understand. Regardless of the circumstances, they were all Ghost Clan members. As the saying goes, "People who aren't of our kind have hearts that are different," so they should have initially focused on attacking humans.

However, the former Ghost Clan members had gained power, and the first group they targeted was the latter Ghost Clan. Furthermore, under Libra's command, they were even willing to assist humans. Such actions were unheard of.

"In the eyes of the former Ghost Clan members, the latter Ghost Clan has always been the race that targeted them. They weren't indoctrinated with animosity toward humans from a young age. In their minds, there was only one thought: to overthrow the rule of the latter Ghost Clan. They knew that their ancestors had been driven underground by humans, but what caused them to endure years of suffering was the latter Ghost Clan."

Su Chen understood. The era of their ancestors was far too distant, disconnected from them by countless generations. They couldn't relate to it at all. However, the actions of the latter Ghost Clan towards them had made them keenly aware of what discrimination felt like.

No, it wasn't just discrimination; it was as if they weren't considered Ghost Clan members at all by the latter Ghost Clan!

Outside, whenever a former Ghost Clan member was discovered, any latter Ghost Clan member had the right to execute that former Ghost Clan member on the spot. In the eyes of the latter Ghost Clan members, the former Ghost Clan was a group of abnormal beings that shouldn't exist!

They had forgotten one thing: the appearance of the former Ghost Clan members was how they originally looked, but their current appearances were completely different from their ancestors.

As a result, when Libra instructed them to target the latter Ghost Clan, not a single former Ghost Clan member refused.

However, Su Chen still had a concern. Ghost Patterns had allowed the Ghost Clan to evolve as a whole. Why should the former Ghost Clan, who lacked Ghost Patterns, confront the latter Ghost Clan, who possessed them?

"Commander, you better keep your eyes wide open," Libra teased.

In the footage, after learning the general situation, Su Er and the others chose to believe the words of the former Ghost Clan members. Subsequently, the former Ghost Clan members, along with the human alliance, launched a full-scale attack on the latter Ghost Clan's army!

At that moment, the former Ghost Clan members stood in place, their expressions devout, as if in prayer.

"Go!"

Streams of colorful light descended from the sky, landing in the midst of the latter Ghost Clan's army, creating waves of turmoil.

"Damn, is this... Magic?" Su Chen stared wide-eyed.

All along, Su Chen had thought that things like Magic were merely a way to manipulate energy. However, it now seemed that Magic might actually exist!
