Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

147: The royal city was destroyed! The tower of prophecy!“...”

After an initial moment of shock, Wu Tian’s face turned pale, and he quickly rushed towards the massive gap in the Atlantis Royal City.

In his heart, he kept muttering for Rice and Zhang Meng not to be in trouble.

He gripped the ivory greatsword in his hand tightly… and silently infiltrated the Atlantis Royal City… As Wu Tian delved deeper into the Atlantis Royal City, faint cries of battle… echoed through almost every part of the Royal City!

Screams intertwined within the chaos, ruins were everywhere, and dark red or fresh blood was visible all around!

The original green main theme of the Atlantis Royal City was stained with a depressing dark red!

Killing intent!

Filled with disregard for life!

“...”

“Bang!”

“I’ll kill you, Mayan dog!”

“Come on!”

“Cowardly Atlantean!”

“Do you have the ability?”

Bang!

As Wu Tian turned a corner of a building, two warriors from different factions were fighting for their lives!

And just as Wu Tian turned to look at the two… the Atlantean warrior was pressing the Mayan firmly to the ground, thrusting a spear into the latter’s throat, ending his life!

“Hoo…”

Breathing heavily.

The Atlantean warrior slowly raised his head and looked towards Wu Tian.

In an instant.

Wu Tian saw cruelty and hatred in his crimson eyes!

“Ed?”

“Are you Ed?”

Wu Tian was startled, then his eyes lit up.

“...”

“Your Majesty… the King!”

“You…”

“You’ve returned alive?”

“You…”

“Aren’t dead?”

“...”

Wu Tian’s mouth twitched, then he slowly approached Ed, reaching out and pulling the latter up from the ground.

“Of course I’m not dead, but after I left…”

Wu Tian frowned as he looked at Ed.

He asked seriously.

“What exactly happened here?”

“How…?”

“How did the city fall so quickly?”

“...”

When asked this question, Ed was stunned, then he looked down, avoiding Wu Tian’s gaze, and said in a low voice.

“After the Mayan elder left, we were all worried about your safety, but with the enemy still lurking in the distance, we dared not leave the city rashly.”

“But…”

A flicker of anger and regret flashed in Ed’s eyes.

“No one expected it.”

“After their elder lost command, they still launched a surprise attack on us under the leadership of their so-called squad leaders!”

“The enemy chose their timing perfectly!”

“It was right after you left, when all of us were in a state of worry.”

“And…”

Ed said through gritted teeth.

“They also secretly circled around both sides of the city wall and snuck to the base of the wall to attack!”

“...”

“However…”

“It’s a good thing we discovered them early!”

A hint of lingering fear flashed in Ed’s eyes.

“A warrior on duty guarding the city wall discovered their infiltration and immediately issued an enemy attack warning!”

“The war…”

Ed shook his head.

“It just happened without any warning!”

“...”

Wu Tian slowly fell silent, a chill in his heart.

The military discipline of these Mayans was simply too strong, so strong that it exceeded Wu Tian’s understanding of these primitive people.

No wonder the Atlanteans couldn’t resist!

Even without their leader, the general, these Mayans could still continue fighting under the leadership of their squad leaders!

Such discipline… could only be described as terrifying!

…“Oh, right!”

Wu Tian suddenly blinked and asked Ed.

“Where are Rice and Zhang Meng?”

“Where are the others?”

“...”

“Lord Rice and Lady Zhang Meng have been fighting together, just now…”

“Oh, right!”

Ed said to Wu Tian.

“Just now I saw them chasing a group of Mayans into the small plaza on the right!”

“Your Majesty, you should go there and check.”

“They should be there!”

“...”

“Hmm!”

Wu Tian nodded, glanced at Ed, and then reached out and patted his shoulder.

“Live well!”

“...”

Ed was startled.

Then he nodded vigorously at Wu Tian.

“Yes!”

“Your Majesty, you also live well!”

“...”

Wu Tian said nothing, turning and leaving.

But as Wu Tian turned, he clearly saw Ed lower his head, subtly wipe away tears from his eyes, grip his weapon firmly, and once again rush to the next battlefield!

Wu Tian was startled… He remembered a sentence he had seen before.

War begins when you want it to, but it does not end when you are happy.

War is like a wheel; you push it, but you cannot stop it, no one can… including the initiator!

…Following the direction Ed pointed, he rushed all the way, after slaying countless Mayans.

Wu Tian finally saw that small plaza!

A scene that made Wu Tian’s eyes burn with fury… appeared before him!

Zhang Meng and Rice were covered in blood, countless bodies piled around them.

There were Atlanteans and Mayans.

But… the vast majority were Atlantean warriors!

At this moment… Zhang Meng and Rice were back to back, making their final defense against the countless Mayans surrounding them!

Slash!

Zhang Meng’s blade sliced open a Mayan’s neck!

Blood splattered onto her unblinking face, then she swung back, and another Mayan fell onto the pile of corpses at her feet!

It seemed decisive and precise!

But… Zhang Meng’s swaying figure already proved that she was… nearing exhaustion!

Rice’s situation next to her was no better!

After piercing a Mayan’s body with a sword, Rice staggered as he pulled out his blade.

He retreated and leaned back against Zhang Meng!

Looking around!

There was no friendly force left!

“...”

“Huff, huff…”

“Sister Meng, are we done for?”

Rice tried to keep his bloodshot eyes open, glaring menacingly at the restless enemies around them.

“Heh heh…”

Zhang Meng laughed defiantly.

“If we’re done for, we’re done for!”

“When a man dies, his spirit rises to the heavens!”

“If there’s a chance in the next life, I’ll still take on these damned Mayans!”

“No…”

In such a solemn and grim scene, Rice gently shook his head.

“Sister Meng, you’re a woman, where would you get a spirit rising to the heavens?”

“What you said isn’t precise enough!”

“Pfft!”

Zhang Meng glared at him.

“Damn it, you learned that from Wu Tian, didn’t you? Not learning anything good.”

“Just learning all that flashy nonsense!”

“Heh heh…”

Rice chuckled.

He slowly took a few breaths and asked Zhang Meng.

“Do you think Brother Tian is still alive now?”

“...”

Zhang Meng was startled.

“He’s probably still alive…”

“Even if he’s dead, won’t we be reunited down there?”

“Haha!”

“How does that saying go?”

Zhang Meng slowly raised the longsword in her hand, looking at the Mayans slowly surrounding them, ready to attack again, and shouted through gritted teeth.

“The three of us are all heroes!”

“Even if we go to hell…”

“Heh heh!”

“It will still be ‘Going to the Royal City to recruit troops, ten thousand banners to slay Yanluo’!”

“They’re here!”

After saying this.

Zhang Meng glared at the Mayans who were already rushing towards them, and reminded Rice.

“Kill!”

“Heh heh…”

Rice let out a cold laugh, and a huge, hysterical roar exploded from his throat.

“Kill!”

“...”

Swoosh!

Suddenly, just as Rice and Zhang Meng were preparing to fight these Mayans to the death!

Wu Tian, carrying the ivory greatsword, flashed in.

He stood in front of Zhang Meng and Rice.

He said softly to the two.

“Step back…”

“Leave the rest to me!”

Rice and Zhang Meng were stunned!

Then, a look of joy surged onto their exhausted, despair-filled faces!

They didn’t try to be strong and help Wu Tian.

The two supported each other and retreated, leaning against the grey stone wall behind them.

“...”

“Kill!”

Wu Tian’s eyes were bloodshot, and he charged into the hundreds of Mayans before him without hesitation!

Steam billowed, blood splattered!

Dismembered limbs, broken arms, wailing, and sword shadows became the main theme of that instant!

Slash!

Slash!

Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff!

With every swing of the ivory greatsword in Wu Tian’s hand!

Several Mayan warriors fell brokenly to the ground!

After just one minute… hundreds of Mayan warriors all lay on the cold ground, their eyes wide with terror and disbelief, blood gushing out… forming a thin layer beneath Wu Tian and the others’ feet!

Stepping on it… was incredibly sticky!

…“Holy crap, Boss…”

“Awesome!”

Before he could catch his breath, Rice watched as Wu Tian, right before their eyes, slaughtered all the Mayans without leaving a single one, as if he were chopping vegetables.

He immediately exclaimed loudly at the latter’s back.

“But…”

Rice continued, his voice somewhat puzzled.

“Boss, what happened to your back?”

“And your hair.”

“You didn’t go behind Sister Meng and my backs, carrying a satchel of explosives to blow up the Mayan headquarters, did you?”

“...”

Listening to Rice, Wu Tian slowly turned around.

He smiled at Rice.

Then he shook the jar in his hand, filled with the ashes of the nine Mayan elders.

He said to the two.

“Isn’t that right?”

“Do you see this thing in my hand?”

“...”

Rice and Zhang Meng were startled.

Then Rice raised an eyebrow and asked Wu Tian.

“Oh, really?”

“Boss!”

“Did you really go to the Mayan camp to carry out a terrorist attack?”

“How come you even brought back some local products?”

“Hiss…”

Rice excitedly rubbed his hands together, quickly walked over to Wu Tian, and reached out to touch the jar in the latter’s hand.

“What is this, can I eat it?”

“Boss, how did you know your adorable little brother was hungry?”

“Quick!”

“Give me a bite!”

“Just one bite!”

“...”

Wu Tian was startled, then in front of Rice, he reached out and slowly opened the lid of the jar, handing it to him with a slight smile.

“Take a look!”

“See if you can eat it. If you can, it’s all yours!”

“...”

Rice was stunned, then he slowly leaned his head over, half-believing, and looked into the jar in Wu Tian’s hand.

Then… when Rice clearly saw what was inside the jar!

He was dumbfounded!

“This…”

Rice looked at the jar in Wu Tian’s hand with a strange expression and asked.

“What exactly is this stuff?”

“Why is it all dark?”

“Sniff sniff…”

Saying that, the fatty slowly leaned over and sniffed the contents of the jar.

“This…”

The fatty’s eyes widened.

“Why does this smell like roasted meat, it’s just…”

The fatty touched his mouth.

“It seems like there’s no salt!”

Wu Tian: … Zhang Meng: … “You dead fatty!”

Zhang Meng slowly walked over, reached out, took the lid from Wu Tian’s hand, covered the small jar, and then glared at the bewildered fatty.

“Is there something wrong with your brain?”

“Do you know what these small jars are used for in our Dragon Country?”

“…”

The fatty was stunned.

“Kimchi?”

“Cured meat?”

“Or… diced radishes?”

“…”

Bang!

Zhang Meng couldn’t hold back and hit the back of his head, saying to him angrily, “In our Dragon Country, this is used to hold ashes!”

“This thing…”

“It’s called an urn!”

“Are you still going to eat it?”

“I’ll find a way to get you some Rice, and you can make some ash-mixed Rice in front of us?”

The fatty: … Originally, it was a bloody scene, and the Fans in front of the screen were clenching their fists, full of worry for Wu Tian and his two companions.

But after this exchange between the fatty and Zhang Meng… everyone burst into laughter!

“Hahahahaha…”

“I can’t, I’m choking, this fatty is really something!”

“‘Let me try a bite’ — is that even okay?”

“Hahahahaha…”

“If you try it, you die!”

“Seriously, what’s the point of bringing these ashes back?”

“Does the Host still want to hold a memorial service for these Mayan elders?”

“Hahaha!”

“But seriously, I have a suggestion for how to use these ashes!”

“Couldn’t the Host find a high point in Atlantis Royal City and, in front of all the Mayans, scatter these ashes and curse them?”

“…”

“Hiss…”

“Your idea upstairs seems a bit dangerous!”

“But, I like it!”

“These Mayans deserve to be treated like this!”

“Hehe!”

“…”

Just as the netizens in the live stream were discussing back and forth, a relatively rational Fan, after watching the previous live broadcast, typed in the bullet comments: “Host, no!”

“Doing that is really not stable enough!”

“We are already at a disadvantage in the war against the Mayans; if we further provoke the enemy with such methods, I’m afraid this battle will be hard to win!”

“…”

“What the person upstairs said makes some sense.”

“However…”

“There’s not much chance of winning now either!”

“Look at the Atlantis army from before; now, besides the retreating elderly, women, and children, there are only the Host and his two companions, and some skeleton army!”

“This is clearly…”

“A doomed situation!”

… “Hahaha!”

“I told you, the Host is just a good-for-nothing, talking about the Bermuda Triangle and saving Atlantis!”

“Pah!”

“You should try to survive first before spouting such big words!”

“Weak Host, unsubscribing!”

“Unfollow and move on!”

The Kimchi Country’s people seized every opportunity, frantically buying accounts and relentlessly souring the mood in Wu Tian’s live stream.

“…”

… “No…”

After a moment of discomfort, the fatty asked Wu Tian the same question the Fans had asked in the bullet comments.

“Boss, why did you bring these ashes back?”

“What’s the use?”

“What use?”

Wu Tian gave a cold smile.

“Their use is immense!”

“Although…”

Wu Tian’s tone was a bit low.

“For us now, the Mayans are probably invincible!”

“But…”

A cold light flickered in Wu Tian’s eyes.

“Even so.”

“I will make these Mayans in the city feel extreme pain in their impotence, and then be cut down by me in extreme agony!”

“Let their nightmares follow them even to the underworld!”

“And never be forgotten!”

“…”

At this point.

Wu Tian turned to look at Zhang Meng and the fatty.

He said to them in a low voice, “Things have come to this point; although we don’t know when the prophetic visions we’ve seen multiple times will appear!”

“But for now.”

“Only the three of us are left to face it alone!”

“Let’s give it our all!”

“Whatever the outcome, it doesn’t make much difference to us anyway. Let’s go!”

“Follow me…”

Wu Tian looked at the tallest bluestone giant tower in Atlantis Royal City and said to Zhang Meng and the fatty with a cold smile, “Disgust them, anger them!”

“Then…”

“Slay them!”

… As Wu Tian’s words fell, the fatty and Zhang Meng followed him, running wildly, killing countless Mayans along the way.

And after incidentally rescuing Aid, whom they met again, as well as many Atlantis warriors and skeleton warriors… Wu Tian and his two companions stopped and looked at the huge tall tower in front of them.

“…”

“Your Majesty!”

Meeting Wu Tian again.

Aid’s left cheek had been severely cut.

Blood was crusted.

He looked abnormally ferocious.

At this moment, he was looking at Wu Tian’s back and asked with some doubt, “This is where we Atlantians seek prophecies from the heavens. Why are you here…”

“What are you going to do?”

“…”

“Oh?”

Wu Tian was startled.

He muttered to himself, looking at the fifty-meter-tall tower in front of him, “This is truly fate.”

“The Prophecy Tower.”

“It has an intricate connection with me. To wage the final battle here and completely annihilate the Mayans…”

“That would indeed be most fitting!”

“Aid!”

“…”

Wu Tian smiled at him.

“There’s a task that can vent your anger, but it will provoke the Mayans and make you a target of public criticism. Do you want to do it?”

“…”

Aid was stunned.

Immediately, his cheeks flushed, and his bloodshot eyes widened!

He said firmly to Wu Tian, “Do it!”

“Damn it!”

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“I’m currently frustrated because I don’t have the chance to personally kill these Mayans, so if provoking them makes them impotently furious, I’m willing!”

“Your Majesty!”

“You say the word!”

“However you want to do it, I’ll do it!”

“Damn these damned Mayans!”

“Good!”

Wu Tian’s eyes lit up, and he nodded to Aid beside him, then pointed to the highest level of the Prophecy Tower above them.

“Then follow me!”

“We’ll go to the highest level of the Prophecy Tower and teach these Mayans a lesson!”

Aid nodded.

His eyes were full of excitement.

“Yes!”

… A few minutes later, Wu Tian, followed by Zhang Meng, the fatty, and Aid, climbed the spiral staircase of the Prophecy Tower to its highest level.

Standing at the tip of the highest level of the tower.

Wu Tian reached out and handed the urn he was holding to Aid.

“You hold this!”

“…”

Aid was startled.

He then reached out and took the jar Wu Tian handed him, shaking it gently and realizing it was quite heavy.

He then asked the latter, “Your Majesty…”

“What’s inside?”

“Hehe…”

Wu Tian gave a cold smile.

“Inside are the ashes of the remaining nine Mayan elders. Actually, to call them ashes isn’t entirely accurate.”

“Because their deaths were quite sudden, so…”

Wu Tian smiled apologetically.

“Most of their ashes were already scattered when they died. So, these things are a mixture of their residual ashes and dry soil!”

“Of course…”

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

“None of that matters.”

“What matters is that there are indeed the ashes of these elders inside.”

“Hmm…”

Aid nodded.

“I understand!”

“Good!”

Wu Tian nodded, slowly turned around, faced Atlantis Royal City below, and gently reminded Aid behind him, “Soon I will shout loudly to attract the attention of all the Mayans in the Royal City.”

“When all of them have gathered, you will scatter the ashes from the jar downwards!”

“It’s just that simple an operation.”

“Understood?”

“…”

“Understood!”

Aid nodded heavily.

“Good!”

“Then let’s begin!”

… “Ahem…”

Wu Tian cleared his throat and shouted loudly from the top of the Prophecy Tower towards Atlantis Royal City below, “All you little Mayan brothers, don’t walk by and miss this!”

“The ashes of the Mayan elders are about to be scattered from the tallest tower in the middle, everyone come and see!”

“No money needed, no processing needed!”

“The venue is free, and we’ll even help you scatter the ashes!”

“Come quickly!”

“Haha…”

“It’s worth seeing the excitement!”

“…”

As Wu Tian’s voice faded, the sounds of shouting and killing throughout Atlantis Royal City fell into a silence, and then… after a mere dozen seconds.

Roars and shouts erupted from various parts of the Royal City, one after another!

“Who!”

“Who exactly is it?”

“Who wants to scatter our elders’ ashes?”

“Who is so malicious?”

“The tallest tower!”

“Quick!”

“That tallest tower is right in the center of this Royal City, let’s hurry over and take a look!”

“Kill him!”

“I must kill him!”

“It’s fake, right…”

“The elders are all in the rear, where did the ashes come from?”

“…”

“Did you forget?”

“The King of Atlantis killed three of our elders, and he just rushed towards our rear with the Second Elder!”

“Could it be…”

“Him?!”

All at once, thousands of Mayan warriors, cursing and swearing, quickly gathered towards the Prophecy Tower. Also arriving… were the remaining 200-plus skeleton army led by Hernando.

Forces from all directions!

Gathered at the Prophecy Tower!
