Five Frozen Centuries-Chapter 367 - Despair Comes

Chapter 367: Despair Comes

The Great Elder was very arrogant. The Holy Domain civilization was the strongest civilization in this area, so he was not worried at all. He said, “Get someone to bring it up!”

A subordinate told him, “Great Elder, the person who sent the divine weapon is the captain of the Trileaf Pirates. He said that he has a very important secret to tell you. It’s the secret of a fallen civilization.”

The Great Elder frowned. After thinking for a moment, he said, “A secret… Ask him to come to the temple to find me. Ask the Four Knights of the temple to come as well. With the Four Knights around, I don’t believe he can stir up any trouble.”

The subordinate lowered his head and left. The Great Elder thought about it and felt that it was not safe. He got up, went to the inner hall of the temple, and took a glass ball. This ball was about the size of a fist and could be held in his hand.

Soon, he returned to the outer hall of the temple and sat on the divine chair made of cosmic gold. Cosmic gold was the closest material to a divine material. Usually, when a Titan battleship was built, the materials in some unimportant places would be replaced or replenished with cosmic gold when there were not enough divine materials.

The Great Elder sat on the divine chair and waited. Soon, the Four Knights of the temple arrived. They were four extremely tall Knights wearing armor made of cosmic gold. Power of Faith was attached to the armor, making it comparable to a divine artifact.

The four Temple Knights knelt on one knee before the Great Elder. The Great Elder waved his hand and the four Temple Knights stood up and retreated to the side.

Soon, the Grand Elder’s subordinate priest led the captain of the Trileaf Pirates into the outer hall of the temple. The captain was very careful. He hugged the iron box tightly. Godhood Energy was lingering on the iron box. The moment the captain walked into the outer hall, the Grand Elder and the four Temple Knights focused their attention on the iron box.

It was a divine artifact!

The five of them evaluated it in their hearts without any hesitation. Anything that had that kind of divine fluctuation was either a divine artifact or divine material. Either one of them was worth thousands in gold!

The Great Elder frowned slightly. It seemed like the news of the spy was right. There was indeed a divine corpse in the hands of the fallen civilization. Besides, they were manufacturing the Titan battleship. They could not let this continue. They would definitely be able to create the Titan within 500 years. They had to destroy them and snatch the divine corpse!

Upon seeing the regiment commander enter, the Great Elder immediately took the initiative to lift the glass ball in his hand. The moment the Great Elder lifted the glass ball, a wave of godhood spread out and surrounded the regiment commander.

That glass ball was actually a Divine Artifact. The Great Elder was really careful. He did not give the captain a chance to speak or do anything. He wanted to control the captain’s mind first so that they could not do anything.

The Great Elder’s thoughts were very meticulous. Even if you schemed, as long as I controlled your mind instantly, you could only obediently hand over the divine weapon and tell me everything you saw and heard.

That was what the Great Elder thought. However, the moment the wave of godhood touched the iron box, an even stronger wave of godhood spread out. Not only did it scatter the wave of godhood that the Great Elder had sent out, but it also smashed into the glass ball in the Great Elder’s hand and shattered it.

The Great Elder exclaimed, “Is this a level-three divine weapon?”

He was holding a level-two divine weapon, the Mind Control Ball. Only a level-three divine weapon could destroy a level-two divine weapon!

The Great Elder shouted, “Take him down!”

The Four Knights of the temple attacked immediately. They had been drooling over the iron box for a long time. The divine weapon in the Great Elder’s hand had shattered. At that moment, whoever snatched this divine weapon would be able to kill others and become the Great Elder of the Temple.

The four Temple Knights rushed toward the captain. No one was willing to fall behind. However, the iron box in hand released another wave of godhood aura. This divine aura spread out and immediately sent the Four Knights of the temple flying. Even the walls of the temple were filled with cracks, as if they could collapse at any moment.

The Great Elder immediately stood up from the divine chair. His face was full of disbelief. Moments later, he roared at the Trileaf Pirates, “Give me the divine weapon!”

The captain was a little stunned. Because he was protected by the fluctuation of godhood, the divine power attacks just now had not hurt him at all. They had not even touched a single strand of his hair. That was why he’d watched the five of them play like monkeys.

The captain gradually calmed down. He recalled Wei Huo’s words. As long as he stayed by the iron box, he would not be in any danger. It seemed like Wei Huo had been telling the truth. The powerful Holy Domain civilization could not even deal with an iron box. He suddenly believed that Wei Huo was really a God.

However, would God really be like that?

The captain did not understand. Based on what he recalled, God should be high and mighty. He should only be heard but not seen. He should be an extremely noble and dazzling existence.

However, Wei Huo gave him the feeling that he was an ordinary person. That ordinary person was not an ordinary person in terms of temperament. Wei Huo words, actions, expression, and movements resembled an ordinary person.

However, at that moment, the captain gradually realized that Wei Huo might really be like a God. At the very least, his strength had reached the level of a God.

The Great Elder was furious when he saw the commander standing there in a daze and ignoring his words. He shouted angrily, “Mortal, do you have a death wish? Hand over the divine weapon quickly and I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will send down divine punishment!”

As he spoke, the Power of Faith started gathering on the Great Elder’s body. An extremely powerful Sacred Light was emitted from his body. This Sacred Light was extremely dazzling and carried endless divine might. He looked like a God who had descended to the mortal world.

The commander looked at the Great Elder and mumbled, “That’s right. He looks like a God, but…”

The captain suddenly recalled the feeling Wei Huo had given him. Although he felt that Wei Huo was not like a God, he could feel that Wei Huo did not care about anything. Wei Huo did not care if others believed in him or not. He did not care if others treated him as a God. He did not care about power, status, or the life and death of others.

The captain gradually understood. He said, “So this is God…”

The Great Elder said angrily, “Mortal, how dare you ignore me!”

After saying that, he shouted and a bolt of lightning descended from the sky. It was a bolt of divine lightning, which was extremely powerful and could destroy a continental battleship. However, when it landed three feet above the captain’s head, the lightning disappeared.

That was not all. The appearance of the lightning seemed to have triggered a bad outcome. It seemed like the iron box had absorbed the lightning’s energy. Then, a crack appeared in the middle of the iron box and an extremely terrifying abyss-like aura spread out.

At that moment, everyone present understood that there was not a Divine Artifact in the iron box. Instead, the iron box itself was a Divine Artifact. However, what needed to be sealed in a Divine Artifact box?

There was no doubt that at that moment, everyone present, including all the beings in this galaxy, felt a terrifying aura. Their hearts were trembling as if something that would bring about extreme despair was about to happen.
