196 Chapter196-John's Revelation (1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)

After pondering for a moment, Elder Anderson inquired, "Then why, as you suggest, can't we coexist peacefully with the seemingly benevolent factions among them?"

John sighed helplessly, murmuring, "Because even the most righteous deities see us humans merely as a source to draw power from."

"With their elevated status and unparalleled power, they'd never regard us as their equals."

John left another thought unspoken, for it sounded a bit sad.

That was: No matter how weak humans might be, they'd never consider allying with mere bugs.

Though John hadn't voiced that particularly harsh sentiment, Elder Anderson and Shadowswift inevitably fell silent. 

With their exceptionally sharp intellects, they immediately grasped the implications of John's unsaid words. 

How tragic it was...

Humans, who prided themselves as the crown of creation, stood at the pinnacle of this planet's food chain.
