Questions & Mysteries What kind of enemy the Ancient Kingdom had to create the Ancient Weapons ?

#1
To create three super weapons rumored to be each able of ravaging the world the Ancient Kingdom must have faced at least one very very dangerous threat, one powerful enough that they thought that they really needed such power to be able of fighting it.

It has also been mentionned by professor Clover during his conversation with the Gorousei that the Ancient Kingdom was known to have an enemy, one that he theorized to be linked to the World Government for it was created just after the Void Century.

What kind of foe did the Ancient civilization had that was so threatening that they saw no choice but to create the Ancient Weapons if it wasn't just for global domination ? Could have it been really connected to Imu and the World Government or could it have been on the contrary an independant menace though something or someone Imu could have taken advantage of ?

It is of my belief that the Ancient Weapons were created as apart of the "Great Cleansing" that that Gorosei spoke of, and I believe that's what happened during the Void Century 900 years ago.

There was a Great cleansing in the World, and the Ancient Weapons enacted that cleansing. And I believe it wasn't the Ancient Kingdom who created those weapons, but rather the original 20 Kingdoms who banded together against the Ancient Kingdom, and they used the Weapons to wipe them out.
