Hail the King

Chapter 836: Scepter of Creation (Part One)

As Fei looked around, he realized that the church which was filled with the white lines and energy paths slowly disappeared. As if they were mystical 3D projections, the god statues, the stone walls, the floor, the wooden benches, the candle holders, the candles… everything was slowly disappearing, and the void was taking over. As the void grew, it seemed like Fei was inside another space! All he could see was the void as nothing else existed around him.

The brilliant stars, the beautiful nebulas, and streaks of distant galaxies many light years away…

As if Fei were suddenly expelled to the cosmos, he felt cold, lonely, and was filled with darkness.

“This…” Fei suddenly got very serious.

This was the terrifying power of god-tier magic arrays. Once they were activated, they would hide all the traces of arrays, creating a mystic space where no weakness could be spotted from the inside. Once someone was locked in one of these arrays, their connections with the outside were severed. They couldn’t see what was happening, couldn’t trace the enemies, and couldn’t fight back when was attacked.

Even if someone were very familiar with one god-tier array formation… In fact, even if the creator of such a god-tier array formation were locked inside, he couldn’t even break it from the inside.

“This time… I’m in trouble.”

Fei instantly summoned [The Throne of Chaos], waiting to use its insane space-traveling ability to get out of the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace]. However, the result was hugely disappointing.

Inside this dark cosmos, an invisible force was repelling and suppressing [The Throne of Chaos], making this throne unable to use its abilities. It couldn’t even teleport for one meter, let alone leaving the magic array.

“Hahaha! Too bad! [The Throne of Chaos] is such a powerful godly item of creation, but it fell into the hands of you, a weak mortal. It is such a tragic incident! [The Throne of Chaos] can go anywhere in the world! Hahaha, your weak strength turned this godly item into something ordinary!” The golden skeleton’s proud laughter sounded in this dark space abruptly.

Fei knew that he was still inside the hall of the No.1 Church in the Leon Empire, and he wasn’t really sent into the cosmos; this was all the powerful illusions that the god-tier magic array created, and they were so surreal that the king couldn’t tell them apart from reality.

Right now, the golden skeleton was still probably about 100 meters away from him, carefully observing the situation.

“You skeleton-like monster. You imprisoned your savior just to say these useless words?” Fei slowly sat down and tried to provoke his enemy while trying to figure out a way to escape.

With that mysterious stone pillar inside his body, even a real evil god couldn’t do anything to him, let alone only a god-tier magic array. His life wasn’t in danger yet.

…

While standing outside the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] in silence, a proud smile appeared on old priest John’s face. As the strange red flames burned in his deep eye sockets, he stared at this magnificent No.1 Church which had a countless number of white lines and energy paths and looked at the King of Chambord who looked like a headless fly inside the array.

The golden skeleton couldn’t hold back his excitement and roared with an arrogant tone, “Poor soul. You are about to die, yet you still want to try to get information from me?”

“About to die? Not really. If I didn’t pull out the stone pillar that nailed you beside the Mythical Altar, you would still be a dry, lifeless corpse. Is this how you are going to repay your savior? You sure are an animal that has no manners. Wait, you are inferior to an animal! Hahaha! You are only a dry corpse! Hahaha!” Fei’s mocking words flew out of the magic array.

“So, you have already discovered something? I’m surprised. That is right; if you didn’t pull that half of the [Scepter of Creation] from my body, I would die after tens of thousands of years, and that will be it. However, I came back to life! Hahahaha! You are a weak bug, and your duty in life is completed after you freed me. You should have died right after, but you dared to keep the [Scepter of Creation] to yourself, and you occupied the [City of Godly King of Creation]. You should be killed at least 10,000 times! AH….”

Chapter 836: Scepter of Creation (Part Two)

While he spoke, the golden skeleton got irritated, and the evil, red flames in his deep eye sockets burned violently.

“Scepter of Creation? So that lazy and mysterious stone pillar is called the Scepter of Creation? Sounds quite powerful. Could it be connected to the tale of the creation of this world? No wonder it could take on the god-tier combat weapon and the evil god of the Sea Tribe… Eh, however, it is ugly, and it is huge. Who can grab this in their hands and used it as a scepter?” Fei thought to himself and felt like he had obtained some new information.

“No wonder. So, you have been after that mysterious stone pillar? That is why you are after me? You have been monitoring me these days in secret, and you know that I’m coming here today. Is that why you set up this trap?” Fei suddenly asked loudly, “The Sea Tribe at the [Sea of Fragrance]; you are the one who released them, right? You also directed them and gave them the method of breaking the [Thousand Year Seal] to release Evil God Kluivert. That means you were present when that insane battle was taking place at the bottom of the sea, right?”

“That is right.” That golden skeleton’s voice sounded in the dark cosmos-like space, “I did all that, and I was there. Hehe, I was severely injured by the [Scepter of Creation], and my strength decreased by a lot after I revived. My power is less than one-ten-thousands compared to my prime! Humph! What a pity! When I possessed [One Sword]’s body and battled you at Chambord City, I wasn’t able to defeat an ant like you, and my real body was knocked out… After that day, I knew that I have to use other methods to get back the [Scepter of Creation] and the [Throne of Chaos]. In terms of releasing the Sea Tribe, that is only a small part of my grand plan. However, I didn’t expect you to appear on the sea, disrupting my plan. Those ants from that Continental Martial Saint Mountain also deserve to die… It is true that Kluivert triggered the backlash from the [Scepter of Creation]. He is much more powerful than you, but he doesn’t know about the [Scepter of Creation]. In fact, it is lucky for him that he got away…”

“You have been following Buckingham and me, and you knew everything that had taken place. After learning that I’m looking for you, you used Buckingham who doesn’t know anything about this and prepared this trap, the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace], to imprison me?” Fei asked and thought that this was similar to his previous guess.

“That is right. Although you are like an ant, you are smart and detected something, and you want to find me. Haha! Since you want to die this fast, I will grant your wish!”

“It is yet undetermined which one of us will die,” Fei replied in disdain.

He was trying to provoke his opponent so that this golden skeleton might show his weakness. He laughed and said, “Even Evil God Kluivert of the Sea Tribe couldn’t do anything to me. You know that the [Scepter of Creation] is inside my body. In this world, no one can harm me. Aside from being a lot weaker, you don’t dare to fight me head on because of your fear for the power of the [Scepter of Creation], right? Hahaha!”

“Idiot! Why do you think I trapped you inside the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace]? In this world, only the purest prayer energy can power the [Scepter of Creation]. Right now, I have possessed the body of old John, and I can command all the priests and worshippers in Gerland City and use their prayer energy to sever the connection between you and the [Scepter of Creation] which shouldn’t exist! Haha! Don’t you sense it? This array formation is using the holy power of the Holy Church? Isn’t the [Scepter of Creation] getting irritated in your body? Isn’t it getting a little out of control?” The golden skeleton’s proud roars sounded in the area, and Fei’s expression changed drastically.
