Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

148: Sprinkle the ashes! Sacrifice the beasts!About ten minutes later, all the Mayans gathered from all directions at the base of the Pyramid of Prophecy!

And on the other side, distinctly separate, were the warriors of Atlantis and the remaining Skeleton Warriors!

Although both sides, everyone at the base of the Pyramid of Prophecy was separated by an invisible line, a tacit understanding.

But... the sparsely numbered Atlantis camp looked pitifully thin, as if a single charge from the Mayans would wipe out these remaining Atlanteans!

However... all these Mayans’ gazes were currently fixed on Wu Tian and Aide at the top of the Pyramid of Prophecy.

”...”

”Who are you?”

Just as everyone was gathered around the Pyramid of Prophecy, a Mayan warrior, similar to a centurion, pointed his wooden spear at Wu Tian on the top of the tower.

He asked loudly,

”How dare you speak so presumptuously, claiming to scatter the ashes of our Mayan Elders up there?”

”Are you worthy?”

”You can’t even touch the Elders; where would you get their ashes?”

”Get down here!”

”If I have to come up and get you myself, it won’t be as simple as just killing you!”

”...”

Crash!

Wu Tian leaped onto the tower’s parapet, took the spear Aide handed him, and without a word, hurled it directly at the centurion shouting below!

Whoosh!

Thud!

Before the centurion could react, the spear pierced directly through his skull, pinning him to the ground.

”...”

”What!”

The Mayan warriors around the centurion immediately erupted in an uproar.

They were astonished by the fighting power of the person on top of the tower.

At the same time... they also felt that the centurion’s death seemed somewhat familiar.

While they were still pondering.

Wu Tian, standing on top of the tower, spoke to the Mayans on the ground.

”You little brats, open your eyes and look!”

”Don’t you...”

”Don’t you recognize me anymore?”

”...”

Wu Tian’s voice fell!

Everyone below the high tower fell silent, and after a few breaths, a Mayan warrior’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at Wu Tian on the tower top, realizing!

”I... I remember!”

”This person... this person is the new King of Atlantis! He’s the one who killed our two Elders at the start of the war!”

The warrior then shouted loudly to those around him.

”Think about it carefully.”

”Isn’t the way Brother Tek died exactly the same as how our Twelve Elders died?”

”...”

Everyone was stunned.

Then, looking at the centurion pinned to the ground, gasps of cold air rose one after another.

”Damn, it really looks like him!”

”It’s him!”

”It’s him!”

”A spear, pinned to the ground, this kind of death!”

”It’s the way our Twelve Elders died!”

”He is the King of Atlantis!”

”He’s not dead!”

”How is he still alive?”

”Didn’t he go to our rear, where nine Elders were stationed?”

”How...”

”How could he still be alive and return?”

”What exactly is going on?”

”...”

With bursts of discussion and corroboration from the elders who survived the previous battle, Wu Tian’s identity was confirmed among all the Mayans.

And... the disbelief about scattering ashes!

It slowly began to waver as they confirmed Wu Tian’s identity.

”...”

”Oh?”

Looking at the Mayans below, who were discussing animatedly.

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

”Alright, since everyone is here and there’s no more doubt about my identity, then...”

”Let’s begin!”

Wu Tian gave a cold smile.

He pointed to Aide, who was slowly leaning out from the top floor of the Pyramid of Prophecy, and said with a smile to the crowd below the tower,

”This is today’s ash-scattering ambassador, our esteemed Atlantis warrior!”

”Mr. Aide!”

”Now...”

Wu Tian smiled slightly.

”First, let’s ask Mr. Aide to share his feelings about scattering the ashes later!”

”Everyone, applause!”

”...”

After he finished speaking.

After a moment of stunned silence from the crowd below the high tower.

All the warriors on the Atlantis side, including the Skeleton Soldiers, also clapped wildly!

However... all the Mayans below the high tower slowly clenched their fists, their eyes burning with fury!

No one cared about the feelings of these Mayans.

Aide, using the provocative words Wu Tian had carefully taught him, shouted loudly to everyone below!

”Um...”

”Actually, I’m a little excited and a little nervous.”

”First, I’m excited because this is my first time scattering animal ashes. To be honest, I’m afraid these beasts will bite me down there...”

”Hehe, you know where!”

”Secondly, I’m also excited because today the wind is quite strong.”

”This adds a lot of difficulty to scattering the ashes to form the character ’miserable’ (miserable) without me even trying!”

”Forget it!”

”I, Aide, can only do my best later!”

”...”

After this speech.

Crunch, crunch, crunch... The Mayan warriors below the high tower immediately began grinding their teeth and clenching their fists, one after another!

If Aide and Wu Tian weren’t standing on top of the high tower at this moment.

They would even want to rush up and tear this arrogant soldier into a thousand pieces!

But there was no way... Wu Tian’s power made them hesitate!

”...”

”As for the nervousness...”

Seemingly oblivious to the murderous glares of the Mayans, Aide continued.

”I am indeed a bit nervous. This jar of ashes in my hand is, after all, the ashes of all your remaining Elders. If I can’t scatter them to create a good effect, it would truly be a waste!”

”But everyone, don’t worry!”

Aide said with a smile.

”I will definitely try my best!”

”Now!”

”Please extend your little hands and cheer me on, so I can scatter even better patterns!”

”Thank you!”

”...”

The crowd below fell silent!

Then... ”Whoosh, whoosh!”

”Clap, clap, clap!”

All the Atlantis warriors and Skeleton Warriors immediately extended their hands and clapped wildly.

”Good!”

”Go, Aide!”

”You’re the best!”

”You’ll definitely scatter the most beautiful patterns, and you’ll definitely make these Mayans feel right at home!”

”Be confident!”

”Even if you just scatter them casually, it will still be the most beautiful scenery in Atlantis Royal City!”

”...”

As the shouts of the crowd faded, Aide’s face was instantly filled with a strong sense of mission.

Immediately!

He slowly opened the lid of the ash jar in front of everyone.

He reached in and grabbed a handful.

Bang!

Crash... To the dismay of all the Mayans, Aide’s clenched fist, holding the ashes, suddenly hit the wall at the highest level of the Pyramid of Prophecy!

”Oh no!”

”Uh, uh, uh...”

Aide’s mouth twitched!

Instantly!

His hand, in pain, opened, and he tremblingly threw the handful of ashes directly down.

Whoosh... A gust of wind blew!

The ashes swirled in the air, amidst the heartbroken expressions of the Mayans.

They scattered onto the fifth level of the Pyramid of Prophecy.

Draping the top of the fifth level with a layer of black and white.

”...”

”Uh...”

Looking at the silent Mayans on the ground, who seemed to be brewing extreme anger.

Aide smiled apologetically.

”Hehe...”

”A mistake, it was all a mistake!”

”Next handful!”

”The next handful will definitely not go wrong!”

...After saying this, Aide had already done all the initial disgusting things to the Mayans. His expression slowly became solemn and serious. He reached in and grabbed a large handful from the ash jar.

Before anyone could react... Whoosh!

He threw it into the wind!

Ashes flew!

Aide’s deep, angry voice resounded from the top of the Pyramid of Prophecy.

”Perhaps you think what I just did was excessive. You are very angry seeing your Elders’ ashes being scattered so wantonly by me!”

”But...”

Aide’s eyes slowly turned red.

”Have you ever thought that this kind of pain, we Atlanteans, are constantly enduring?”

Aide grabbed another handful from the ash jar in his arms.

He threw it down towards the base of the high tower without hesitation!

Whoosh!

”You hurt!”

”You are angry!”

”You feel insulted!”

”Do you think we should be skinned alive, dismembered into a thousand pieces?”

”Hehe...”

Aide’s voice echoed again in the silent Royal City.

”But!”

”You are the instigators of the war. You destroy other people’s homes, repeatedly assassinate other people’s kings, and for your own selfish desires, you have caused this peaceful land to be plunged into misery!”

”You...”

”Are you worthy of anger?”

”Are you worthy of pain?”

”When you kill others, do you ever feel their anger?”

”...”

Aide scattered another handful of ashes from his hand!

”You don’t!”

”You simply cannot feel nature, nor revere nature!”

”You don’t love peace!”

”You only love slaughter!”

”Conquering and occupying other people’s territories and homes!”

”You...”

”Every single one of you deserves to die!”

”Under an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent!”

”Therefore!”

Whoosh!

Aide directly threw the ash jar in his hand from the top of the high tower towards the ground. With a crisp ’thump’ sound on the ground!

The ash jar shattered, and the black and white ashes dispersed into the sky.

Aide’s cold and firm voice spoke the last sentence from above the high tower again.

”Let’s fight to the death!”

”Today...”

”Not a single one of us Atlanteans wants to live anymore!”

...As the ash jar shattered, as Aide’s voice ceased on the high platform.

All the Mayans on the ground erupted, roaring, screaming in anger, picking up their weapons and furiously charging towards the high tower.

They wanted to personally kill Aide, the one who had smashed their Elders’ ash jar!

At the same time... Wu Tian slowly raised his ivory greatsword, his eyes filled with a sinister and cold expression.

He muttered to himself.

”I told you, these Mayans will never perceive others.”

”They are self-centered, selfish, irritable, impetuous, arrogant, and complacent!”

”They don’t understand nature, let alone revere nature!”

”Of course...”

”They also don’t understand what peace is!”

He shrugged his shoulders.

Wu Tian gave a cold smile.

”Since that’s the case, why keep them?”

”...Kill them all!”

Step... Just as Wu Tian was about to take a step and rush down the high tower to slaughter the remaining Mayan warriors... ”Roar!”

”Ohm!”

”Howl...”

”Squeak...”

”Screech!”

”Roar, roar!”

...A chorus of beasts, tens of thousands of ferocious exotic beasts, rushed out from the dense forests surrounding Atlantis.

They all roared loudly towards the Pyramid of Prophecy.

As everyone was startled and didn’t know why these beasts had rushed out.

Wu Tian was stunned!

He clearly heard the wails of these beasts.

”I am willing to sacrifice myself, to become a portion of energy, to help Atlantis endure forever!”

”I am willing to sacrifice myself, to help Atlantis endure forever!”

”I am willing to sacrifice myself!”

”I am willing to sacrifice myself!”

”I... am willing to sacrifice myself!”

”...”

Listening to the shouts from elephants, tigers, lions, foxes, Boas, mice, pterodactyls... from all living creatures, Wu Tian was stunned.

Just as he hadn’t yet understood what these animals’ shouts represented... Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

...All the creatures, after howling, all knelt around the Pyramid of Prophecy!

Or rather... they knelt before Wu Tian on the Pyramid of Prophecy!

Then... ”Whoosh, whoosh...”

The poseidon token, which Wu Tian had always kept close to him, slowly lit up on his body, and the sound of ocean waves flowing was incessant.

Wu Tian was startled.

He then directly pulled out the poseidon token from his clothing.

He placed it before his eyes.

[”Activated poseidon token (Seven-Colored) (One-time item): A hundred beasts sacrifice their souls, opening the gate of time and space, slaying the Mayan Elders, and pacifying future troubles!”]

”...”

Wu Tian was stunned!

As he was processing the information spoken by the nearby monarch... Buzz!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Waves of spiritual soul fluctuations slowly ascended, circling the high tower.

Under Wu Tian’s gaze.

All kinds of animal souls rotated and came to the highest level, and then, after showing a kind smile to Wu Tian, they all resolutely drilled into the poseidon token in Wu Tian’s hand... As the animals’ souls poured in, the light on the poseidon token grew brighter and brighter!

Finally!

It directly enveloped Wu Tian, Zhang Meng, and Fatty behind him.

[”A hundred beasts sacrifice, poseidon token activated!”]

[”Space-time jump ready, jump time point: Mayan Royal City two months ago!”]

[”Please select personnel to travel, holder...”]

Wu Tian was stunned.

So... so this was the prophecy, this was the final scene!

This was the ultimate thing he was supposed to do!

His eyes suddenly lit up.

Wu Tian, with a flash of inspiration, shouted loudly at the voice in his mind—

”Personnel:

Wu Tian, Rice, Zhang Meng, Hernando, Skeleton Legion!”

”...”

[”Selection complete, space jump beginning...”]

[”The journey will be bumpy, please protect yourself, poseidon token holder!”]

...The prompt tone fell!

The white light flashed violently, and everyone selected by Wu Tian, including Wu Tian himself, only felt the flickering white light in front of them grow more intense, their bodies slowly floated, drifting in space!

Who knows how long passed... who knows how far they traveled!

”...”

Thump, thump!

Wu Tian’s feet finally felt the solid sensation of touching the ground.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, he looked at the huge Pyramid in front of him, and a barren, red, earthy landscape.

He slowly wiped a tear from the corner of his eye.

Wu Tian raised the ivory heavy sword in his hand!

He whispered softly,

”Since I am the one of prophecy, then let me perform the prophecy!”

”Twelve Elders...”

”Your day of reckoning...”

”Has come early!”
