Sebe's friends weren't surprised that the experts ruled, that was normal in their eyes even if there wasn't a formal country, but they were shocked by the fact their king, the most powerful existence in the whole Anpaes Kingdom would just barely qualify to be someone of that group.
"The day the invasion began, all those experts gathered together and led the continent inhabitants to a war in order to protect our continent. Those who attacked didn't have any resemblance to humans, so they were seen as monsters and an inferior species. However, the same happened in the opposite; the invaders considered the people on the continent inferior beings."
Everyone was puzzled by the fact Sebe had only mentioned that they were different than humans and didn't mention half-beasts or say inhabitants of the continent to refer to everyone.
"What about us? There was some invader similar to us?"
The cat girl wasn't against considering humans inferior beings, so if the invaders just disliked humans, they weren't that bad.
"There were invaders similar to half-beasts, but they were more similar to half-beasts with bad bloodlines than to us. However, when the war started, half-beasts didn't exist on this continent."
That wasn't the answer his friends were expecting; they were completely shocked. Sebe sighed, he knew that the next part would be even more difficult to believe, he himself still had difficulties to believe it.
"The invaders were as strong as our experts, but they win in number because there were invaders from too many different places, even grandfather didn't know the reasons for attacking our continent with such coordination. Those invaders started to enslave humans, but for the invaders, humans were far too ugly... thus, they decided to turn humans more like them."
No one was able to say a word after hearing Sebe; they knew very well how that would continue.
"The results of the experiments to turn humans more like the invaders were the origin of half-beasts. Their objective was to turn people in half-beasts with bad bloodlines, they will look like the invaders, but have no future in training, making them perfect slaves. The good bloodlines generated by their experiments were just mistakes."
The fact the half-beasts were born to be slaves from the invaders and that those with bad bloodlines were the objective while those with good ones were failures was something too difficult to believe.
"The invasion progressed quickly, and the war seemed lost. A lot of those powerful experts died, my grandfather was lucky to be one of those who managed to survive until the end, but everyone had already lost hope at that point."
Although everyone knew that there was no way there was a bad end as the invaders weren't on the continent and Anpaes survived to create the kingdom, they were in tension.
"The experts had been dispersed and were against a few opponents each one, that was the final battle for everyone. The situation was dire, but a shout resounded on the skies, it was a simple word. Die."
Everyone felt relieved as the story seemed to have someone appearing to help at the last moment.
"After the shout, no one appeared, but all the invaders died with their souls scattered. The problem that almost finished the whole continent was solved with only one word."
Sebe's friends thought that there was no way such a fearsome expert existed who could end a war with a word, but just the fact someone appeared and reversed the situation was more easy to believe. Ancient stories were like legends and tended to be exaggerated after all.
"I know that you doubt about the existence of that expert, I also doubted it, but in the end, you will believe it."
Although Sebe had explained just the essential points of the war because he didn't know more than that, that expert caught everyone's attention, especially Yale's attention because he felt that the expert of the story was his own past life.
"That expert was the most powerful being on our continent and in my grandfather's opinion in our world. He seemed to have taken revenge and assaulted those who invaded us afterward. The only reason the invaders were able to invade the continent successfully was that such an expert wasn't present in the world."
The story seemed as unbelievable as before; they thought that the expert prowess had been exaggerated too much.
"That expert was my grandfather's master, and when my father was a kid, he had met him once. Unless you doubt the words of the king, that expert definitely existed."
Sebe's friends couldn't doubt about that expert after Sebe said that, they would doubt the words of the king.
"Wait, was your grandfather also a result of the experiments? A great mistake?"
The guy with a bird peck noticed that after calming a bit, although that was something he could have thought time ago.
"No, my grandfather was an exception. He chose to turn into a half-beast to guide all the half-beasts on the continent and then he founded the Anpaes Kingdom at the same time two other experts, Zuatania and Revgen founded their countries for humans."
Yale felt like he was about to understand something, but he was unable to do it, he lacked some more information.
"After the war, my grandfather asked his master to turn him into a half-beast. That expert was the opposite to the invaders; he modified my grandfather's bloodline to make it stronger obtaining a perfect degree of integration with a divine beast bloodline. A half-beast with a divine bloodline didn't have any restriction due to the bloodline while had all advantages obtained by it; a real evolved human."
Yale knew that it wasn't just because the divine bloodline, as long there was a perfect integration there would only be benefits, he was a good example. A divine bloodline would be rejected or perfectly integrated there weren't midpoints, in any case, the quality would drop and wouldn't be divine bloodline anymore.
Yale had learned that the king was someone like Tar who had met his past life and that his own past life was the one who created the bloodline of the royalty in the Anpaes Kingdom.
Moreover, he finally understood that his methods to improve Shirk's bloodline were wrong, he was working in a wrong way.
