Colonial Suit
#733 - Holy Land
In the almost stagnant atmosphere, Xiuji felt the fingertip on his forehead blankly, not daring to move at all.
Even though he had not yet stepped into the realm of cosmic warriors, he could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in that fingertip. It was an absolute, almost destructive power. It seemed that even a trace of it could crush him, killing everyone here.
Beneath the heavy mask, cold sweat quietly seeped from Xiuji's forehead. He didn't dare to move, afraid that any movement would cause him to disappear. The faint pressure from Blood瞳 intimidated him, making even breathing a luxury. As a king, Xiuji once thought he would never fear anything again, but until today, until now, he realized that there were still many things he should fear.
Many things, enough to terrify him.
In the almost suffocating oppression, he heard his own voice say, "Everything is as you wish, my faith."
"I am satisfied with your promise and await your fulfillment," Blood瞳 said expressionlessly, removing his finger from Xiuji's forehead and then swiping it to the side.
A beam of red light flashed like a blade. A straight line immediately appeared on a nearby mountain peak, and then, in everyone's sight, the top of the mountain tilted little by little, further and further… After an earth-shattering roar, half of the mountain actually broke off.
Although Hugo had described the power of 'gods' to them, it was, after all, just an oral account. How could it compare to witnessing such a shocking scene with their own eyes? Blood瞳's casual swipe almost cut the mountain in half, leaving only a negligible portion. The earth rumbled and trembled, and rocks rained down. Dust filled the sky. By the time everything had calmed down, where was the shadow of the mountain?
Only a huge platform appeared where the mountain had been. The surface was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been polished countless times. Below the platform, the collapsed rocks were still tumbling, emitting rumbling sounds.
Everyone was shocked at that moment, unable to utter a single sound. They watched in fear, watching the mountain collapse, watching the earth crack. And watching Blood瞳's finger. Everyone involuntarily knelt down, offering the most devout prayers to Blood瞳.
"Supreme Walker, the only one in the world, the living faith, you are great, supreme. Our clan dedicates everything to you, obeying your will…"
In the thunderous prayers, Xiuji trembled all over. Underneath the heavy armor, he was drenched in sweat.
No one knew that he was experiencing lingering fear. And very afraid, very afraid.
After all, he was a king.
Kings are lonely and selfish. Even with the highest faith, it is impossible to dedicate everything to God like ordinary people. Although he had always appeared incredibly devout, who would know his true thoughts?
Gods can be worshipped, and they can also be used.
In fact, Xiuji had already made a plan when Hugo first brought the news. He wanted to use Blood瞳 to bring the entire continent under his control. He possessed the world's most powerful army, the most violent country, and the most centralized rule. Now, he needed the most devout faith and the most powerful force.
He was about to get it. The blood sacrifice was his first step. Next, he would show more piety and dedication, making this unfamiliar god trust him and gradually rely on him. In this way, he could gain more.
But he never expected that Blood瞳, who was so ordinary yesterday, would give him a blow in the blink of an eye. He had no doubt that if he had shown even the slightest disobedience just now, Blood瞳 would have erased him. Just like erasing that mountain.
Looking at the huge platform in the distance, a sentence suddenly flashed in Xiuji's mind.
The majesty of God cannot be desecrated.
"Release all the sacrifices," he stood up and said loudly. "Grant them the rights of imperial citizens."
"Yes," the warriors below responded thunderously. Then they unlocked the shackles on the slaves.
One by one, the delicate girls and thin children looked at them timidly, hardly daring to believe what they were experiencing. Just now, they thought they were doomed. But they never thought that in just a moment, their future would undergo a tremendous change. Could that mysterious and terrifying man be the new god of Trismos?
Truly… so powerful…
So merciful.
They hugged each other excitedly, weeping with joy. Then, driven by the warriors, they walked out of the canyon.
Looking at their slender and helpless backs, Blood瞳's gaze remained indifferent.
"Master power, but do not abuse it," he said softly behind Xiuji. Then he nodded. "You have made a good start."
"Everything follows your will," Xiuji knelt on one knee, said seriously.
At this moment, he finally understood that in front of the gods, everything was actually false. His piety, his offerings, were worthless to Blood瞳. Because Blood瞳 had never relied on him from beginning to end. He was no different from ordinary people in Blood瞳's eyes. A king is, after all, a king of ordinary people. But Blood瞳 was no longer an ordinary person.
His gaze had already exceeded the limits of what they could imagine. So-called benevolence and tyranny were merely the imagination of ordinary people.
How could a true god have such vulgar ideas? He didn't care about ordinary people at all!
"Come with me."
Just then, Blood瞳 suddenly said. "I think, perhaps we need to talk. And you should have something to say to me."
"Yes!" Xiuji agreed, and was grabbed by Blood瞳 and flew into the sky.
The two soared through the air, and in a moment they arrived at a mountain peak near the royal capital. Blood瞳 put down Xiuji, casually found a stone to sit on, and then pointed to the side.
"Don't be polite with me."
"In front of my lord, where is my seat?" Xiuji hurriedly replied. He was already scared of Blood瞳, and he really didn't dare to be the slightest bit presumptuous.
Looking at his fearful expression, Blood瞳 merely smiled slightly and didn't force him further.
He knew that today's meeting had given this ambitious king a new understanding and clarified the positions of both parties.
So he said bluntly.
"Yesterday, you showed me something interesting."
"Yes," Xiuji lowered his head, not daring to look Blood瞳 in the eyes.
"But I think you should know more…" Blood瞳 continued. "And you want to tell it to me. The only premise is that I can be used by you."
"I wouldn't dare."
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
"You dare very much," Blood瞳 smiled slightly. "That's why you want to hold a blood sacrifice. First, to show your piety to your subjects, and second, to unify voices, so that all different voices are drowned out under my authority…"
"…………" Xiuji didn't dare to say anything more. Even though Blood瞳's voice was very calm now, he could feel the coldness beneath the calmness.
After what happened just now, he already understood that Blood瞳 was definitely not someone he could rule or use. Compared to the countless strong people he had encountered in the past, Blood瞳 couldn't even be considered a person at all. He wouldn't regard himself as a person either.
In Blood瞳's eyes, whether it was a mortal or him as a monarch, was merely a unit. A number.
So after a moment of silence, he honestly said, "I do know some ancient rumors. But those are too far away. They have faded from our memory."
"Can it be more distant than the universe?" Blood瞳 said. He pointed to the stone again. "Sit."
"…………, yes." This time, Xiuji didn't refuse. He obediently ran to the stone and sat down. Speaking of which, the stone was only twenty centimeters high, and it looked extremely uncoordinated for him, a burly man, to sit on it. The pain was more than the comfort.
Blood瞳 looked at his performance with satisfaction, and then said, "Speak! Tell me everything you know. My descent this time is just a coincidence. If you can satisfy me. Then I promise I won't come again. But if you make me dissatisfied. I will make your empire, your ambitions, disappear together. You have seen my power, and you know I have that ability."
"…, yes." Xiuji immediately broke out in sweat. Even breathing became difficult.
Blood瞳's pressure was too heavy. Although he didn't do it on purpose, even this faint pressure was enough to suffocate Xiuji. The power of cosmic warriors is not physical, but more spiritual and willpower. Compared to Blood瞳. Xiuji wasn't even a small shrimp.
"My tribe… once had a sacred place." Under Blood瞳's pressure, Xiuji slowly said. "That was once the place where we grew up."
"Once?" Blood瞳 sensitively noticed the loophole in Xiuji's words and asked softly.
"Yes, once." Xiuji nodded. Recalling seriously. "Because, we were once destroyed. A long, long time ago. Please forgive me, my lord, I really can't remember when that was, but I do remember the inheritance in my bloodline."
"That place is called Kirisal. A cursed plateau."
"It is said to be cursed because it was where we were born. And we once occupied most of the continent. We destroyed many tribes and countries, and each country had earth gods. They cursed us before they died, cursing our roots. Ultimately, it triggered our destruction. In the last civilization era, we were the most powerful country on the continent. Because of excessive conquest, we became the enemy of the continent. All the countries united and launched an attack on us."
"Our warriors died, our women were plundered. Our cities were overthrown, our capitals were burning…"
Xiuji said slowly, as if he saw that terrifying scene again.
"But… our seeds were left behind. After hibernating for hundreds of years, they woke up again."
"Only to be able to return to the embrace of the sacred place one day."
Speaking of this, he solemnly knelt down to Blood瞳. Then he said. "Great faith, please forgive my offense. But no matter what, we are humble people who live for the sacred place. If you are willing to help us take back the sacred place. Even if you want my entire kingdom as an offering, I will not hesitate."
"Because, that is the wish of our ancestors. It is the meaning of our existence."
"Even more…"
Xiuji's voice suddenly rose, and he suddenly raised his head to look directly into Blood瞳's eyes. \u003c) Vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to read. )
