Chapter 1228 – Old Man of the Moon
In midair, No. 22’s figure had been completely drowned out by the black hair.
Lin Qiye’s heart thumped when he heard No. 22’s phrase “You’re a god”!
A god?
But why was there no fluctuation of divine power on their bodies?
Moreover, the King’s Treasure Trove strictly prohibited gods from entering, so if they were gods, how did they get in?
Without waiting for Lin Qiye to think more, a blinding bright light suddenly emerged from the dark cumulus clouds in the sky, and a blazing ball of fire whistled and cut through the air, smashing straight into Lin Qiye’s Dharma phase’s chest!
There’s another one?
Lin Qiye’s heart flinched as scarlet demonic aura escaped from his eyes, and his Dharma phase’s hands transformed into demonic ape arms as he slammed against the fireball!
Dang-!
The fist power of Dharma Heaven and Earth collided with that blazing fireball in the air, and crimson heat waves instantly swept across the desert sky.
Within hundreds of meters around the Dharma phase, all the sand and gravel was flown up by the impact, Lin Qiye’s figure sank, and the Dharma phase’s knees had completely sunk deep into the desert, at the same time, cracks were spreading at the tip of the fist, and his figure faltered.
The ball of fire was dispersed by the residual force of the collision, and a man clad in red armor took several steps back in the air one after another, his brows furrowed slightly.
”Eh?” Lin Qiye looked up in some surprise when he saw that his dharma phase wasn’t completely shattered.
It wasn’t right, if it was truly a strike at the level of a Lord God, then this Dharma phase would definitely have gone up in smoke by now, and perhaps even his soul would have been damaged.
But he not only caught this blow head on, the phantom was not broken, and also shocked the red-armored Lord God back a few steps …….
The most crucial point was that during this short exchange, Lin Qiye really didn’t see a single fluctuation of divine power from their bodies.
Where was this a Lord God, no matter how you looked at it, they were just humans close to the human ceiling level.
Lin Qiye’s brain raced, associating it with the murmurings of the old man in the lonely boat just now, a thought flashed through his mind and he spoke in a sudden realization:
”I see, you’re the Forsaken Gods of the Sumerian divine lineage!”
Lin Qiye was in the archives of the Upper Evil Society and had read the analysis about the Sumerian divine lineage.
The researchers of the Upper Evil Society believed that after the destruction of the Uruk Kingdom, the ancient Sumerian myths had gradually disappeared into the river of history with the passage of time, population migration, and the impact and integration of new cultures.
This disappearance is not a disappearance in the physical sense, but a disappearance of belief.
Fewer and fewer people believed in the Sumerian god system, and under the lack of faith power, the Sumerian origin gradually shrank, and the strength of the gods declined all the way down.
Right under the Sumerian gods’ philosophy of conservative survival, a hundred years ago, the fog of extinction suddenly descended.
This mist, even the many extremely powerful ancient god kingdoms could not be spared, and for the already weak Sumerian gods, it was even more of a devastating blow.
From the current state of these several gods, it is presumed that the Sumerian god system of a hundred years ago, most likely ended up with a shattered origin and withered gods …… And these several stronger main gods, barely surviving that catastrophe, somehow found the King’s Treasure Trove that was built by Gilgamesh in the ancient years.
The King’s Treasure Trove is a self-contained space that can isolate itself from the erosion of the mists, and the three Main Gods who lost their divine origin and fell to the divine realm, but would not be rejected by the King’s Treasure Trove, used some sort of means to sneak into it, and have been hiding underneath the City of Wools, waiting for the chance to rise up again.
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye fiercely turned his head to look at the lonely boat old man in the crescent moon lonely boat, holding the [Holy Grail] in his hand.
”[Holy Grail] …… Make a wish …… That’s your purpose?” Lin Qiye muttered.
He didn’t care about the red-armored Lord God in front of him who was blocking him, and his shaky Dharma phase once again stood up and hurriedly flashed towards the Lone Boat Elder!
Now that these main gods have not yet recovered their strength, but the stronger “Klein” is just that, there may not be no chance to snatch the [Holy Grail] from their hands!
Along with Lin Qiye, there was also Bifetu, who was emitting white blazing divine light.
The two who had just been fighting to the death, under the common interest of survival, tacitly chose to cooperate, the two left and right like two meteors, whistling towards the old man standing on the lonely boat!
The two majestic pressures approached at the same time, and in the old man’s cloudy eyes, a wisp of faint light blossomed.
The corners of his wrinkled mouth rose as he gracefully gripped the wall of the [Holy Grail] cup, and the large amount of wine that had accumulated in the cup gently shook:
”Divine power revival.”
A dreamy light flashed from the wall of the [Holy Grail] cup, and in the next moment, terrifying divine power seemed to boil as if it were boiling, surging and rolling out from the old man’s body!
The divine power that had dried up due to the disappearance of the divine lineage’s origin, under the effect of the supreme wish-granting machine, gushed out in a steady stream, the old man’s eyes were like the stars of the night gradually brightening up, and the divine might of a Lord God level descended with a bang!
Lin Qiye only felt his body sink, the strong pressure almost slapped him directly out of the air, he looked up at the figure in the night sky that was gliding leisurely with the moon as a boat, the last wisp of the flame of hope in his heart, completely extinguished.
This group of old things had been hiding in Wu City for so long and only jumped out now, they were indeed prepared!
If the life force of an ordinary person was compared to a burning ant, then Bifetu was simply a walking sun, even just a severed arm of a Supreme God that had been chopped off and sacrificed could cause the dried up divine power of a Lord God to well up again.
Wisps of aura flowed out from within Lin Qiye’s dharma phase, and the duration of [Dharma Heavenly Image] had reached its limit.
As the aura poured out of the sky, Lin Qiye’s soul returned to his body, and the severely injured man staggered out of the dune, looking up into the sky.
What he used to kill the old man in the lone boat was just a phantom, and after the phantom dissipated, his soul would automatically return to his body and get out of harms way …… But Bifetu, he wasn t so lucky.
After the old man standing on the lonely boat recovered his divine power, Bifitu also returned to God, immediately turned around and prepared to escape, but the old man did not have the slightest intention of letting him leave.
A sliver of moonlight extended rapidly from the crescent moon lonely boat under his feet, as if countless ribbons, lightning-like rolled around Bifitu’s body, the latter’s eyes opened angrily, his incandescent heart beating rapidly, wanting to break free from these moonlights to leave, but no matter how hard he tried, these moonlights did not show the slightest sign of breaking apart.
Under the night sky, Bifetu, who was roaring madly, was like a fish that was hooked and constantly struggling, little by little, he was forced to rip back on top of the Lunar Lonely Boat.
”Dammit! You let go of me!!!” Bifetu watched with his own eyes as that face, which looked like a god of death, was getting closer and closer, and panic surfaced in his eyes.
Moonlight bound his body, dangling in front of the Lunar Lonely Boat, the old man narrowed his eyes and surveyed his torso, the smile at the corners of his mouth growing thicker and thicker:
”Ra s heart …… I take it.”
Bang–!
Under the night sky, a pale palm, lightning-like pierced through the right side of Bifitu’s chest.
