I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

Chapter 17: The Complicated and Tragic History

The book’s content described the history of the world. Hundreds of millions of years ago, the entire continent was linked together. It was the time when the Titans, Gods, and Devils fought for supremacy against one another.

Gods are beings blessed with the ability to comprehend the laws of the universe; they are beings gifted with the ability to devise powerful techniques for attack and defense. They were born with innate special energy known as “Divine Power,” and each has its own element or laws, which they refer to as their “Domain”...

Titans are the most powerful of the three, with massive and tough bodies. A single Titan can even decimate several gods and Demons on his own. Their specialty is that they can boost their body further by using special energy known as “Hegu,” which was apparently the advanced form of Degu in the Pre-Historic Era. The Titans’ most obvious weakness is their small population. Even so, they manage to dominate and fight the two races on an equal footing.

There is some speculation that humans have Titan blood on them, but it has thinned out over time. The fact that we can use Degu is a piece of solid evidence, and it was said that there was a legend about a small number of Titans that used a special method to reduce their size and seal their powers. These Titans then decided to hide in the face of the world in order to avoid extinction due to concerns about reproduction. This bolstered the theory, but it remained unproven until now.

Finally, there are the Devils. They are a more powerful type of demon. They have a powerful body, magical power, and other transformational techniques. There was insufficient information about them. It was said that they aren’t truly evil in nature; in fact, it was said that they are naturally kind and prefer peace. Their hatred for the Titans and Gods grew as their war disrupted the peace and harmed the environment. It was claimed that they only intervened to bring the meaningless war to a conclusion.

The war causes widespread devastation throughout the world; the continent is destroyed and strewn across the globe. In terms of the outcome of the war...

The Gods eventually won, but they also suffered a significant loss, forcing them to seek refuge in another dimension to recover. The “Known” Titans were wiped out in the face of Eudaimonia, and the Devils have fallen into a state of deprivation after witnessing the deaths of countless of their kind or comrades in the war. Their previous kindness had vanished, and insanity had replaced them. After thousands of years, they evolved into a new race known as “Demons,” who behaved completely differently from their predecessors. They are far more astute and ambitious, but far less powerful.

.....

The Demons have used their lack of competitors to rule the world. They enslaved all existing races and committed countless atrocities against them. The stronger races, such as Dragons, Giants, and Elves, refused to surrender. That is why another war broke out, and the conflict grew larger and larger. Finally, with the unification of all races, the demons were pushed back, and they were vanquished in the Abyss. Their five-hundred-thousand-year rule was eventually overturned.

The Demon Lords vowed to reclaim their rule and one day allow the world to embrace their rage.

The world was finally at peace, new races were born, and another race became extinct; this cycle repeated itself for a long time. The Major Races have an unspoken agreement to prevent another planetary-scale war from occurring. Because they have witnessed the atrocities of war...

Finally, on a fateful day, a new race known as “Humans” emerges; they are weak but inquisitive. They’re a resourceful group... Their strongest characteristics are rapid reproduction and a desire to improve.

For thousands of years, humans have coexisted with other races, cooperating and trading with them. They continued to develop at an incredible rate, developing various weapons, science became a discipline, and degu users emerged. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

It will only take another hundred years for them to catch up to the major races. The major races have become stagnant as a result of peace; they are unconcerned about humanity’s progress because a century of peace has dulled their vision. They became sluggish and complacent.

Seeing this, humanity’s leaders saw an opportunity, and they are unwilling to accept the current status quo. Their desire to grow became more apparent. Conflicts began to emerge, eventually escalating into another war.

Humans are at their peak and have the advantage of preparation. They defeated the races one by one as a result of their incompetence, which was brought on by a long period of peace.

After that, the book mentioned that the Humans had won, and all other races had vanished, and the pages after that where the time for the next three thousand years was blank, and after that is our current timeline, where demons have resurfaced and are constantly plotting against the humanities.

How would humans react if they were aware of their predecessors’ sins? That is why the important people decided to keep this information hidden from the public. After all, there was no conclusive evidence of how the races vanished. The Humans not only won the war, but they also did not dare to annihilate a race. The question now is, what caused their disappearance? What happened during the period of blank history? And what about the gods?

Fain rubbed his temples, dizzy from the amount of information. According to the book, there are nine continents in the world, all of which are geographically separated from one another.

The continent he was currently in is known as the “Germundia Continent,” and it is made up of several kingdoms and over a hundred countries. Demons were invading in some areas... Countries were hiring and encouraging Degu Users to go to the front lines by providing them with lucrative benefits and status. Slowly but steadily, the Degu Society was being revealed. The people at the top understand that it was only a matter of time.

The military decided to recruit children with high potential in Degu. Countless guilds and organizations, such as the Ranger’s Eye, sprang up to recruit Degu Users. It’s worth noting that demons aren’t just the enemy. Because it was unavoidable that there would be some rotten apples in society. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

Those who have awakened Degu but have used it to fulfill their desires and do whatever they want are referred to as “Degu Criminals.” The authorities have issued a strict order to hunt them down, dead or alive. Because they are causing havoc and upsetting society’s so-called “balance and order.”

‘Fuck... This World’s Background completely looked a bit like a mix of HunterxHunter and One Piece, but it was far more dangerous and messier,’ Fein thought with a grim expression.
