Chapter 700 The Awakened Sacrifice

Chapter 700 The Awakened Sacrifice

The white-bearded old man continued walking.

He came to a wall that had been recently excavated.

Above it was a layer of carved stone reliefs.

The carvings showed two old men wearing ceremonial robes—one backed by the moon, the other by the sun—being worshipped by thousands.

"I, as the Moon Priest of this Pompeii temple."

"As the ruler of this ancient city of Pompeii."

"Yet I couldn't prevent this disaster."

"50 years ago, when I woke up from underground, from that hardened lava, everything was gone."

"My paradise, the city of Pompeii, was gone too."

A beautiful light flickered in the white-bearded old man's eyes. "Fortunately, during my sleep, I discovered a new world. It was wonderful—you could have everything in an instant, live like nobility, endless women..."

"So."

The white-bearded old man's eyes flashed with menace again. "As the supreme Moon Priest, second only to the Sun Priest, I must find that world again and let my surviving people end their miserable existence in darkness, return to the light, and enjoy eternal bliss!"

The white-bearded old man looked at Fabio with a condescending gaze. "I helped your family gain its current position, yet you're so incompetent. After all this time, you've accomplished nothing!"

Fabio looked terrified. "Great Priest, we'll make progress soon. The person who can connect to that world has appeared! It's just... he's very strong. He seems to gain incredible strength just by eating. We... for now..."

"Gaining power from eating?"

The white-bearded old man slowly approached Fabio, pinched his golden cane with two bony fingers, and squinted at it.

He plucked a tiny golden beetle from the cane.

The old man smiled. "I'm afraid he has another ability—just like that slut Oya!"

The white-bearded old man crushed the golden beetle and glared at Fabio. "You fool! Now even our location is probably exposed!"

"What?"

Fabio looked horrified!

The white-bearded old man sneered. "Fortunately, I have these survivors who've been living underground and evolved powerful abilities to help me!"

"Today's humans have no chance of winning against them!"

The white-beard said.

Then he looked toward the dark corners of the arena.

A group of giants stood there, most over 16 feet tall, wearing heavy bronze armor.

Their exposed faces had gray skin, crisscrossed with scars, as if disfigured by acid.

There were about 30 of them.

Among them was the giant bronze man wielding a hammer.

And the female giant who had been shot through the throat by Elbert was also standing there, her bleeding throat wrapped in gauze.

It was hard to imagine how terrifying her constitution was—suffering such a fatal injury yet still unharmed!

"My people."

The white-bearded old man looked at the giants. "The dark days are almost over. When we find paradise, we'll go there together. I won't leave anyone behind again!"

The giants all nodded.

Fabio fawned as he stepped forward. "My lord, you must take me too!"

The white-beard looked at him with contempt.

Then he asked, "How's the attack on the Golden Kingdom going? When can I have my way with that slut Oya?"

Fabio's expression became serious. "With the help of these lords, in two more nights we'll definitely conquer Golden Island. Then I'll personally deliver that queen to you!"

The white-beard showed a strange smile.

Then through the cell bars, he looked at Trinity kneeling beside her father's bed.

Trinity was still in that red dress, but after days of torture, it was torn to shreds, her snow-white legs barely covered, extremely alluring.

Because of the cyborg limiter's effect, Trinity's face was flushed, covered in sweat, her body unusually weak.

The white-beard licked his lips, his eyes filled with lust.

He suddenly grabbed the iron bars of the cell, breathing heavily, staring at Trinity with bloodshot eyes.

This seemingly frail white-bearded old man burst out with tremendous strength in his hands, directly snapping the iron chain on the door.

The door shifted an inch.

Trinity clutched her dying father's hand tightly, shrinking toward the bed, eyes full of terror. "What are you doing? Don't come near me! Elbert won't let you get away with this!"

The white-bearded old man's face twisted grotesquely, drool flowing. "Elbert? What is Elbert? Should I fear him?"

Just as the white-bearded old man was about to make a move, his expression suddenly froze.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, then he calmed down, gritted his teeth, and slammed the iron door shut with a bang!

He panted heavily, seeming to abandon the idea of forcing his way in, but the fire of desire in his heart was hard to quell.

He spotted the bound, voluptuous woman beside him.

He yanked her over.

Tore off her clothes and unleashed his bestial nature on the spot!

Everyone turned their heads away.

They seemed used to such scenes.

Fabio nervously went to a distance and ordered a masked subordinate, "Deploy the maximum number of cyborg limiters. I want them covering the entire arena. Didn't the lord say he's coming? No matter how strong he is, he's just a cyborg!"

The masked man in black hesitated. "Mr. Fabio, but we're also cyborgs."

Fabio grew angry. "You? Even without limiting you, what use would you be? You'd still get knocked out with one punch each!"

"Fortunately, the Moon Priest's people aren't cyborgs!"

"With them here, we're absolutely safe!"
