#456 - Chapter 445: The Order of the King of Apocalypse (Part 1)
“Understood.”
The tall figure nodded, “When the time comes, I will open the altar for you to descend.”
“Remember, with our status, it is most appropriate to descend in the most central area. You must not forget this.” From deep within the altar, the mysterious voice sounded again.
“That is natural.”
The tall figure smiled faintly, “It's not as if I would mess up something that even a child could understand.”
“Also, any news about that human you were asked to keep an eye on?” the mysterious voice asked again.
“That young Beastmaster?”
The tall figure thought for a moment, then shook his head, “No sign of him yet.”
“Continue to inquire, and if there is any relevant news, report it immediately, or…”
“Eliminate him directly!”
As it said this, the mysterious voice's tone became noticeably fierce, its killing intent so strong that the surrounding air turned several degrees colder.
“No problem, just a human, nothing to worry about.”
The tall figure nodded, then curiously asked, “But… just a human, someone even I don't care about, is he really that special? That even you want to eliminate him?”
“Special?”
The mysterious voice sneered, disdainfully saying, “Just an ant, what's so special? Remember, humans are just humans, they can't amount to anything.”
“However, sometimes when ants offend divine authority, they must pay the price.”
“That makes sense,” the tall figure said thoughtfully, “But as an ant, to be remembered by a god is no ordinary ant.”
“Or are you saying that gods also have days when they fall to the mortal realm?”
“Impudence!”
Before the tall figure could even finish speaking, the altar shook violently, and the air became colder than ever before.
The air rippled, like water waves materializing.
“The majesty of the gods cannot be亵渎d, nor will it tolerate your questioning!”
“Haha, just saying, no need to get so agitated. Anyway, who is high and who is low isn't determined by words, the facts are right in front of us, aren't they?”
“Just a bunch of ants, I believe you can easily crush them.”
The tall figure chuckled, “Don't get angry, be careful not to let your aura spread and attract the gaze of that tree again.”
“Remember, we don't want to hear such words from your mouth again.”
“This is the last time.”
A cold snort came from the altar, and then the aura subsided.
“I have no intention of offending.”
The tall figure explained, “However, those Fallen Angels in the canyon will have to be dealt with by you, I am powerless.”
“Just open the altar, what is our status? Since we have promised you, we will definitely do it.”
“But correspondingly, you also do what you should do.”
The false gods responded.
“Understood, just faith, it will spread quickly.” The tall figure nodded.
“That's for the best.”
The light of the altar slowly faded, and the voices of the false gods also dissipated.
The tall figure stared at the altar, lingered in place for a while, and then left.
Soon.
Boom!
As a loud noise echoed in the sky above the royal court, Arthurlant and the others waiting outside all looked up, their eyes filled with surprise.
And in their expectant gazes, a tall figure strode out of the royal court.
This tall figure was shrouded in white light, making it impossible to see his true face.
But everyone knew clearly who this was.
“Your Majesty!”
“After so many years, His Majesty has finally emerged from the royal court.”
Nine-Star Archmage Garin was extremely excited. He could no longer remember the last time this being, who exuded a powerful aura, had appeared.
“Indeed, this last holy artifact is crucial, and only His Majesty can lead us deep into it.”
Arthurlant also had a fanatical expression. Although he had never seen the true face of the so-called King.
But those legends had long been engraved in his heart, almost with a deep-rooted worship.
Compared to the fanaticism of the royal court guards, Jiang Han was calm. In his heart, there was more curiosity.
“I can't see his face clearly, it seems this king indeed has his own concerns.”
He murmured in his heart.
With Jiang Han's current mental strength, the effect of ordinary concealment methods was naturally limited.
However, no matter how he observed, he could not see through the white light at all.
Perhaps using the [Eye of the God of Wealth] would work.
But using detection skills would inevitably alert this King of Apocalypse, so it was better to be cautious.
Whoosh!
Just as he was thinking, the tall figure took a step and instantly arrived in front of everyone, looking down at them from above.
Instantly, everyone felt a heavy pressure coming towards them.
Although it was just a gaze, this sense of oppression was even heavier and stronger than a level 100 Immortal BOSS.
Clearly, the strength of this King of Apocalypse far exceeded level 100 Immortal.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Arthurlant and the others all knelt on one knee, respectfully expressing their inner reverence, bowing their heads in submission.
However, this naturally did not include Jiang Han. His slender figure stood as straight as a spear in place, even retracting his upward gaze, looking extremely composed.
Such a conspicuous behavior naturally attracted the attention of the King of Apocalypse.
But unexpectedly, his gaze only lingered on Jiang Han for a moment before moving away, completely ignoring the offense of the person before him to his status as the King of Apocalypse.
“Enough with the nonsense.”
“I think you all should be clear about the importance of the holy artifact, even in a place like the Barren Canyon, it cannot stop our steps.”
“Now, follow me!”
A majestic voice sounded, the words both powerful and swift.
As soon as the words fell, the King of Apocalypse took a step and disappeared in front of everyone.
And his figure had already reached the horizon in an instant, his direction being the Barren Canyon.
“This…”
Arthurlant and the others stood up dumbfounded, the expressions on their faces were surprisingly consistent… consistently interpreting what it meant to be bewildered.
Yes, at this moment, more than a dozen heads were filled with doubts.
They didn't expect that the King, as the ruler of the Apocalypse Continent, would be so swift and decisive, and would be so eager to rush to the Barren Canyon just after leaving the royal court.
Also, they didn't understand why the only person standing in place didn't incur the King's wrath.
You should know that greeting the King is not only the rule of the Apocalypse Continent, but of every force, a rule that doesn't need to be spoken but should be understood, right?
Everyone must abide by this rule, no matter who they are.
