Chapter 492: Chapter 414 “The Victory Bell” in Ancient Prophecies._1 Chapter 492: Chapter 414 “The Victory Bell” in Ancient Prophecies._1 ‘It seems I was too narrow-minded…’

Looking at the people in front of him who were willing to continue their stand here, Colin fell silent for two seconds, unexpectedly they had refused.

However, he didn’t ponder on this…

He had noticed a key term in their words—

‘The bell in the prophecy’?

‘You just said… prophecy, right?’

Colin was unsure if this was a “machine translation” error by the company, so he spoke up, emphasizing it again.

At first, when he heard ‘victory bell,’ he thought it was just some kind of descriptive expression.

But it’s somewhat different if you add the word ‘prophecy’ in front of it…

This indicated that the so-called ‘victory bell’ might very well be something that actually exists, rather than a simple description.

‘Yes, the ‘victory bell’ mentioned in the prophecy…’

Night Owl confirmed, then looked at Colin and the few people beside him with a hint of curiosity:

‘You, you don’t know about this?’

‘Really didn’t know, seems like apart from 2044, I haven’t come into contact with any other prophecies…’

Colin shook his head, then glanced at the people next to him to see them shaking their heads as well.

‘Can you tell us what the situation is?’ he asked.

Night Owl had nothing to hide about this; their only secret was the specific locations and statuses of several hundred ‘Breeding Halls’…

Beyond that, it didn’t really matter.

Soon, under his explanation, Colin understood the situation with this thing.

The ‘victory bell’ rumor has been passed down from some high-level starship personnel many years ago, but there wasn’t much in the way of specific descriptions; it was only said that if one day they heard a special bell ringing…

It would mean humanity had achieved the ultimate victory.

‘Damn it, clearly it’s the Extraordinary Ones from the ‘Book of Fate’ who put this forward, these guys… would they die if they spoke in more detail?’ Colin grumbled.

The only notable point about the ‘victory bell’ was that it seemed to have a certain connection with ‘2044.’

According to the prophecy, that bell was to ring at this particular time, space, place, thing… right?

‘What do you mean?’ Colin asked for clarification.

‘Sorry, in the prophecy, we can’t accurately describe it with a predetermined term because it might not necessarily be time; it could also be space, or perhaps something else entirely… What we only know for sure is that the ‘victory bell’ will ring at a certain moment, which might be when you find something called ‘2044,’ or it could be a time…’ Night Owl explained uncertainly.

This was hard to explain, he felt even his ability to articulate was becoming problematic.

‘2044 might not be a time, but it could also be something else?’

Colin was momentarily stunned; this was something he hadn’t considered.

Although it seemed like he had gained more information, the number of mysteries had also doubled—the damned riddlers.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed some inexplicable restlessness in his heart.

At this moment, Night Owl, sitting opposite Colin, said, ‘Although this matter is somewhat vague, overall, we can roughly determine that we’re getting ever closer to victory…’

‘Oh? How so?’ Colin was curious.

His and the other employees’ feelings were quite the opposite of the other party’s…

As a certain time or event approached, everything was getting worse; nearly every place was suffering disasters, nearly every place was experiencing hardship, and so far, not a single place appeared normal.

While pondering, he saw Night Owl stand up, take out a document, and handed out a copy to him and the others.

‘You guys might not easily notice this trend, but we, who are constantly in a state of war, have observed some peculiar things. For the specific details, you can take a look at this document…’

Colin flipped through the stack of dozens of pages of the document handed to him.

The first section was about the ‘Flood Devil,’ with pictures and texts, like some sort of encyclopedia entry.

‘The trend of the Flood Devil’s change…’

Colin silently read the words, turned the pages, and examined the state of this special Level 2 Containment Subject with the others.

The earliest ‘Flood Demons’ were considerably different from their current state, being a kind of life form without much solid substance that resembled fog, but after a period, they began to develop flesh and became quite fierce and terrifying in appearance…

After more time, the ‘Flood Demons’ gradually developed various organs and flesh.

Until recently, as Colin saw them…

Lots of organs, limbs, viscera… even brains.

Compared to the beginning, they now had additional abilities like causing mental disturbances.

Their form became more terrifying, bloody, and chilling, like mixing together human pieces after dismemberment, causing unease.

‘It feels like the earliest version of the ‘Flood Devil’ was much more presentable than it is now…’

Colin flipped past the content on the ‘Flood Demon’ and looked at the others, noticing that many anomalies had begun exhibiting strange flesh mutations.

Faintly, he seemed to understand why the people here were saying victory was getting closer.

However, at this moment, ‘Fool’s Mushroom’ scratched his head on the other side, pressing his hand on his document, and said in confusion:

‘Excuse me, but, but what does this have to do with… getting closer to victory?’

Apart from these thing growing more disgusting, he couldn’t see anything of value.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the look in the eyes of the people around him became ambiguously meaningful…

This made him feel as though his intelligence was being questioned.
