<h4>Chapter 230 The Meeting of Gods! Part-2. </h4>


    "I assume you all know the reason why all of us SS-rankers are willing to stay in this sr system right?" (Ryul)


    Everyone nodded their heads at Ryul''s words.


    "Yes, if we want we can certainly leave this sr system and head to other sr systems, but the reason we are staying here is because of Mana density!" (Ryul)


    Indeed, the mana density around this sr system is oddly much higher than the rest of the ''Milky Way'' gxy.


    "For reasons unknown, the mana density in our sr system has always been very high, which has attracted many monster waves from outside the sr system…" (Ryul)


    Dungeon gates are themselves a distortion in space-time fabric, thus obviously they aren''t bound to the space around Earth.


    These dungeon gates open in outer space and possibly all over the universe, but there are not enough awakeners on Earth to get rid of that many dungeon gates.


    The alliance barely purifies the dungeon gates that open inside this sr system.


    Due to ack of manpower, it''s impossible to go and purge the dungeon gates outside too.


    Humans certainly have spaceships, and even Dwarves used to have spaceships as early as a thousand years ago.


    But the reason why they are all still bound to this sr system is because of the massive numbers of monsters roaming in outer space.


    The dungeons that open outside this sr system are never closed by anyone and thus dungeon waves ur, low-level monsters that are not fit to survive in the vacuum of space die from suffocation orck of food.


    But the monsters that are at A-rank or above slowly adapt over time and eventually can survive in space.


    This means every monster that you will encounter in the space is at least A-rank or above.


    This factor alone increases the risk of exploring outer space by a hundred times.


    If you don''t have an SS-ranker tagging along while exploring outer space, you might not be able to survive if you suddenly encounter an unknown area filled with monsters that were spewed out by an SS-rank dungeon gate''s wave.


    The advanced spaceships are certainly capable of exploring outer space, but the weapons are not yet so advanced that they could harm an SS-ranker.


    The strongest spaceship ''Adam'' can barely manage to injure an S-ranker, not to mention SS-rankers.


    Also, monsters from all over the gxy try to force their way into this sr system from time to time because of the insanely high mana density of this ce.


    "The reason why this ce can create so many SS-rankers even though the birth of an SS-ranker is extremely difficult is because the mana density of this ce is extremely highpared to the rest of the gxy…" (Ryul)


    "Although we benefit a lot from the presence of dense mana, it is also a disaster ma for us…" (Ryul)


    The reason why the alliance loses so many awakeners every year just to close more dungeon gates is because of this dense mana after all.


    The denser the mana of a ce, the more dungeon gates will open there, and the more awakeners will be born too.


    Aside from the problem of dungeon gates, miasma and corruption also gets denser along with mana and thus this ce suffers from the highest number of demon attacks as miasma is also the densest in this ce.


    Demons from all over the gxy try to force their way inside this sr system to enjoy the benefit of dense miasma and be stronger.


    The sr system is vast and the number of SS-rankers is low, thus these demons somehow sneak into the sr system with the aid of the already-existing demon race inside.


    Due to the presence of an unknown number of dungeon gates outside the sr system, it''s literally impossible to exterminate the demon race from this world fully.


    The reason why the world''s strongest person King Allen was never able to fully exterminate demons from this world even after a thousand years of war, was because they are endless.


    As long as there is miasma in this world, dungeon gates filled with demons will open in some hidden corners of outer space and the number of the demons will continue to get replenished.


    This means, that even if you kill all demons and eradicate them from this sr system, there will still be more outside of the sr system.


    Eventually, they will make their way in, some way or other.


    From this, we can see that the ''thousand-year demon extinction war'' that themon people think ended in the victory of the alliance was actually just a major defeat of the alliance.


    After exterminating all demons from the sr system, King Allen realized that it was impossible to kill all demons as long as there was miasma in this world.


    And Mana, Miasma or corruption, these are basic ws'' of this world, they are a building block, and you can''t change the nature of this world.


    When the thousand-year war ended, King Allen once said: ''With the power of a demi-god, we can never change thews of this world and we are doomed to keep fighting the monsters and demons for eternity…''


    After saying these words, he seems to have disappeared from the sr system.


    People assumed he must have left the sr system in the hope of finding some way outside, but King Allen never returned back after that.


    "As we all know from the end of the thousand-year war, it''s pointless to try to kill all demons, what we need to do is hold on for as long as possible…" (Ryul)


    After the thousand-year war, all the races of the alliance that survived were not because they were strong, they survived because they were able to hold the number of demons and dungeon gates in their territory in Check.


    Eventually, when the density of miasma and Mana decreased, the number of dungeon gates opening lessened, and the number of demons also decreased.


    From this you could say that the famous thousand-year war was not actually a war, it was just a struggle to survive from the endless onught of monsters and demons.


    Only S-rankers and above-level people are qualified to know this harsh truth in today''s world.


    The alliance dared not tell the real truth to the ordinary people, otherwise it would cause massive chaos.


    (It would not be wrong to say that, all the races are living in a small bubble called a sr system, and outside of this ce are endless monsters roaming around… which are all at A-rank or above…)


    In the history books, it''s written that King Allen led the alliance to a massive victory and caused the demons to nearly go extinct, but this is all just a massive hoax.


    It''s all a big lie to keep ordinary people calm.


    "The reason why we don''t dare to expand out territories outside of the sr system is also because we don''t have the manpower to protect the area…" (Ryul)


    "Fortunately, our needs of the massive amount of resources are being fulfilled by the dungeon gates, but if we want to go out and colonize other sr systems, we will need weapons that can kill even SS-rankers…" (Ryul)


    Over the past two thousand years, technology has advanced to the point that they can now build a spaceship and travel faster than the speed of light by bending space-time fabric.


    But the weapon technology hasn''t seen any major upgrades.


    Even if you build space-time fabric-bending weapons, this feat is as easy as breathing for even the most ordinary SS-ranker, so it''s nearly ineffective on SS-rankers.


    SS-rankers are capable of bathing in the ''Sun'' while still remaining unharmed, so it''s idiotic to think that nuclear weapons will work on them.


    Even if you use nuclear fusion-type weapons it''s useless.


    Attacks that can destroy a are mere horsey for SS-


    rankers.


    Even if an SS-ranker stands still to take a direct hit from the mainser cannon of the strongest spaceship, it''s impossible to injure them as all they would have to do is bend the space-


    time fabric to their advantage.


    (SS-rankers are called ''Demi-gods'' for a reason after all, their strength is not something to joke about…)


    "Denser mana is beneficial to us too, but it will attract a lot of trouble…" (Ryul)


    If the situation bes simr to what it used to be during the thousand-year war, then all races would need to be ready for a long death battle.


    "Right now, all we can hope is, that this wave of mana and miasma ''condensing'' passes away faster than thest time…" (Ryul)


    Frustration and anxiety were clearly visible on the faces of all the people inside the meeting hall right now, no one had any words to talk about.


    They all knew how dire the situation had be.


    In this kind of war, even SS-rankers might end up dying after all. (Denser miasma will increase the number of SS-


    rankers on the demon''s side…)


    Ryul and the other SS-rankers were now hoping that the mana wave wouldn''t stay for as long as thest one did, but they didn''t know one key thing, ''SSS'' rankers appeared in the novel after this mana wave came.


    This means this mana wave will be even longer and more dangerous than thest one thatsted a thousand years.


    But only Rio knew about how dangerous things would be in the future, others were simply unaware of it right now.

    1. Yes (They can bend space-time and even nukes can''t kill them!)


    1. Yeah (They are brokenly strong!!)
