Chapter 271: Chapter 65 The Saint is Coming_3
At this moment, he was like a devout believer, readily accepting the divine punishments bestowed upon him. He placed the golden token on his chest and loudly recited the content of the oracle.
“In the past, when the Creator Prometheus committed a grave sin in the Divine Court, he did not deny his guilt. The Divine King judged him, and as punishment, withdrew his blessings from humanity.”
“Now, the Divine King has given the first woman, Pandora, to another participant in the creation of humans, the afterthought Epimetheus, and also bestowed upon him a gift from Hades. Hades cautioned him: This gift contains the sufferings and calamities of the Mortal Realm, and you must not open it. Yet, in the end, they were released.”
“So...” someone asked anxiously, “High Priest, are all the epidemics we’ve recently encountered originating from Pandora, from that ‘woman’?”
“Yes.”
His expression growing graver, Momon nodded slightly.
“Then is the deity sending down oracles to help us out of these calamities?” someone else asked.
“No. The Divine King’s words are absolute. When Hades’ gift was opened in the Mortal Realm, it was as if he permitted their existence; this cannot be undone.”
“As for the oracle’s final content...”
Holding up the golden token, Momon began to speak:
“The Divine King rules the Sky and the Earth; the Sea Emperor rules the seas and storms; Hades presides over the underground mines and the Underworld.”
“Because of humanity, Hades has been able to spread his majesty upon the earth, which has deeply displeased the Sea Emperor. Thus, he will, today, rectify this error.”
“Rectify the error, you mean...”
“Exactly.”
Looking at the humans before him, Momon spoke calmly:
“We are that error.”
...
Above the expansive and limitless ocean, as calm as ever, was the sea area near the Sea Emperor’s palace, with a faint divine force encircling the surroundings.
Ever since Poseidon claimed this place from the line of the ancient Sea God, there have been no calamities here, as he is the master of [Storm] and [Tsunami]. Even the latter, having been forged into a Divine Artifact by the Cyclops, did not affect its master’s use.
However, on this day, beneath this tranquil sea surface, a significant number of shadows had unknowingly gathered. Above the sea, the waves too were lifting up a figure.
With a human torso and a fish tail, looking very young and bearing some resemblance to Poseidon, that was the Sea Emperor’s firstborn and Amphitrite’s son, the demigod Triton.
At this moment, he was holding a blue Trident in his hand. An invisible force was flowing through the weapon, and the ocean’s depth and anger seemed to manifest on this Divine Artifact.
“Leave not one alive.”
As his words ended, under the power of the Divine Artifact, towering waves surged toward the land; among the roaring, the sea monsters too advanced forward.
On the earth, without the enhancement of Divine Power, mere seawater might not be able to drown all mortals, but with these monsters, it was a different story.
Terry believed he would accomplish this task very well. Even at this moment, he was already considering how to dawdle a bit longer.
“The destruction of humanity, I can’t do it too quickly.”
Sitting on a ‘throne’ formed of seawater, behind the multitude of sea monsters, Terry pondered in silence.
“If I kill them all too fast, I won’t own the Divine Artifact once the task is over.”
“Such an opportunity doesn’t come by often, I should enjoy it a little longer.”
...
Meanwhile, in the Spirit Realm, Laine was explaining the various aspects of the world to Bai.
He was talking about the third layer of the Spirit Realm, telling the young dragon that as a dragon governing the realm of the heart, it was very suitable for her to be active there in the future.
Part of the Spirit Realm, yet intertwined with the hearts and dreams of all beings in the world, Bai could witness the variegated aspects of the world and understand the love and hatred between living beings there.
If she was interested, she could also travel within the dreams of living beings and come into contact with reality to experience the sensations of mortal life.
“Why have you stopped?”
Suddenly, the young dragon, who had been listening with great interest, lifted her head and looked at Laine not far away.
There, Laine had stopped speaking at some point and had stood up from his seat.
“Hmm... I have some matters to attend to.”
With a smile, Laine then cautioned,
“You stay here by yourself for a while. Just remember, if anyone comes here other than me, do not pay them any attention; they won’t notice you.”
“I understand.”
The clear, childlike voice echoed in Laine’s mind, and the young dragon then lay down on a dragon egg, boredly closing her eyes. Seeing this, Laine chuckled and then casually picked up the black cloak that was draped over the chair.
A promise made must be kept. Humanity was about to be destroyed, and now, he needed to visit the Mortal Realm.
It was just unknown what direction the end of Bronze Humanity would take this time.
