"I believe the main reason is the very existence of the Ancient Species."
"That Dragon God's growth rate is too fast! So fast it's almost beyond comprehension."
"It even surpasses any Ancient Species we've ever known!"
"After all, you all know that when the Empire discovered the Crimson World, there was an extremely terrifying Ancient Species living there."
"And how long had that Ancient Species been alive?"
"A thousand years? Ten thousand? A million? Or even hundreds of millions of years."
"But even a powerful Ancient Species that had lived for an unknown number of ages was no match for a being who had achieved Ascension to Divinity less than two hundred years ago."
"Of course, we can't deny the possibility that this Dragon God had been hiding his true strength all along, and that his actual Power had long surpassed what ordinary Deities could comprehend."
"We don't know why He hid his strength, or even why He signed that so-called treaty with our Empire."
