136: Eileen sacrificed! Desperate scene!

“You don't need to say anymore, we Atlanteans have our own convictions!”

“We will fight head-on!”

“We will keep our loved ones away from the battlefield!”

“Even if we die in battle!”

“We will not use such despicable methods!”

“...”

Just as Zhang Meng and Fatty, and even Kevin and Irene, were desperately trying to persuade these citizens of Atlantis,

Their voices were quickly drowned out by the increasingly agitated crowd!

“Exactly!”

“Isn't it just war?”

“We Atlanteans are not afraid!”

“But if we use schemes and tricks, I will be the first to refuse!”

“Right!”

“And our families!”

“We are participating in the war, why can't our families stay away from the battlefield?!”

“Without our protection, what if they get caught up in it?”

“You!”

Suddenly!

In the noisy crowd, a young priest in black robes pointed a finger at Wu Tian on the high platform.

“You don't have a family!”

“You don't have to worry about our families being trampled by the enemy behind the battlefield!”

“But...”

This priest was highly emotional, his eyes red.

He raised his hands and shouted loudly to the citizens of Atlantis around him.

“We have families!”

“We all have attachments!”

“If our families aren't safe!”

“How can we fight this war?!”

“...”

The crowd fell silent, then immediately erupted. The emotions of most Atlanteans were stirred by this noble and revered priest.

They turned their spears towards Wu Tian on the high platform.

“Exactly!”

“Who are you?!”

“Just because you say you're the king, does that make you the king?!”

“We don't know you!”

“Right!”

Another person shouted in response!

“We have no relation, why are you arranging our affairs?!”

“Atlantis has a royal family, and priests. Regarding matters of war...”

“We don't need your interference!”

“...”

“Get down!”

Suddenly!

Another black-robed priest pointed at Wu Tian's nose on the high platform and cursed.

“You are not worthy to stand on the high platform with the title of king and give us orders!”

“You...”

The priest showed no mercy, pointing at Wu Tian's nose and loudly cursing him in front of all the Atlanteans!

“Get...”

“Get down!”

“...”

As the black-robed priest's voice fell, the entire scene suddenly fell silent, including Zhang Meng and Kevin.

All the Atlanteans present quieted down.

They looked at Wu Tian on the high platform, whose expression was unclear.

“Holy crap...”

Looking at Wu Tian's calm expression.

Fatty, who knew Wu Tian well, immediately recoiled his neck and whispered to Zhang Meng beside him.

“It's over.”

“Boss is angry!”

“...”

Zhang Meng was also startled.

Then the look in her eyes became serious, and she quickly reached out to steady herself on a stone building beside her, and warned Fatty beside her.

“Quick!”

“Why aren't you finding a place to hold on?!”

“Otherwise, you'll be kneeling in a moment!”

“...”

Fatty was startled!

“Holy crap!”

“You're right!”

Then, covered in cold sweat, he ran to Zhang Meng's side and desperately hugged a cylindrical stone building!

Kevin and Irene were stunned.

Then they gave Zhang Meng and the other person a questioning look.

However... before they could even open their mouths to ask,

Wu Tian's faint voice rang out from the high platform.

“Get down?”

“I'm not worthy?”

“Heh heh...”

Wu Tian looked expressionlessly at the black-robed priests below the platform and the Atlantean people who were looking at him indifferently, his voice slowly chilling.

In the tone of a superior, he slowly uttered a few words!

“My King... Arrives!”

“With unwavering... resolve!”

“Kneel before me!”

Buzz!

An supreme pressure emanated from Wu Tian, instantly crushing everyone at the edge of the high platform!

“What are you doin...”

Bang!

The black-robed priest was about to curse again!

A sudden pressure, like a mountain, directly pressed down on his back!

Rumble!

A dull thud!

His knees buckled, and he directly knelt on the hard bluestone slab!

Crack... The stone slab slightly cracked, and a miserable cry of pain... erupted from the black-robed priest's throat!

“Ah!”

“What did you do?!”

“My legs...”

“My legs!”

Then... Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Everyone present, except for Zhang Meng and Fatty who had tightly hugged the pillars beside them and were still resisting, were all instantly crushed to the ground by the kingly pressure emanating from Wu Tian!

Although it wasn't as severe as the black-robed priest whose legs were broken from kneeling.

But the pain of their knees colliding with the cold, hard ground... still made this group of Atlanteans cry out in pain!

“Ah!”

“My legs!”

“What's happening?!”

“What exactly is this situation? Is this...”

“The King's... the King's pressure?!”

“Who exactly is he?!”

“Why is the pressure from him even more terrifying than from our King?!”

“...”

Listening to the cries of pain filled with deep surprise, Wu Tian's eyes were indifferent, and he watched them silently, without saying a word.

After a long while.

When everyone had quieted down in fear... Wu Tian then gave a cold smile.

Looking at the dense mass of Atlanteans kneeling at his feet below the high platform, he spoke faintly.

“Heh heh!”

“Now...”

“Do you still think I'm not worthy?!”

“...”

“Hmph!”

Wu Tian let out a cold snort.

“A group of ignorant, foolishly benevolent, and obtuse people who cannot perceive the approaching danger!”

“It's a matter of life and death, and you still have the leisure to discuss these trivial details?!”

“What you don't understand doesn't mean it's wrong!”

Wu Tian said with disdain!

“...”

“And you!”

Then, Wu Tian turned his head.

He pointed at the black-robed priest who had just pointed at his nose, saying he wasn't worthy and telling him to get down.

“You said that war is a matter for your royal family and priests, and it's none of my business!”

“But I am the prophesied person of Atlantis, how do you explain that?!”

“Heh heh...”

Wu Tian gave a cold smile.

“I actually don't want to get involved!”

“But your Atlantis...”

“Can you withstand it?!”

“...”

The black-robed priest was startled, then, enduring the immense pressure, he raised his head to look at Wu Tian on the high platform, his eyes red, and opened his mouth.

“We...”

“Shut up!”

Suddenly!

Just as the young priest was about to speak,

An old voice unceremoniously interrupted him.

The young priest was startled.

Then he glanced at the source of the voice and sullenly closed his mouth.

“...”

Wu Tian turned his head.

He looked at an old priest, also dressed in black, kneeling at the very front of the crowd, and slightly frowned.

“Who are you again?”

“I am a priest of Atlantis, my name is Lasol!”

“Among these priests, I am the eldest!”

“And also...”

The old priest said faintly.

“The most proficient in matters of prophecy!”

“Therefore...”

“I would like to ask you!”

The old priest asked, neither humble nor arrogant.

“Who exactly made the conclusion that you are the prophesied person?”

“The prophesied person...”

“And what is he prophesied to do?”

“...”

As the old priest Lasol's voice fell, Wu Tian looked at the latter and slowly nodded. Given that this priest was still reasonable, Wu Tian opened his mouth.

He was about to explain.

“It's me!”

Suddenly!

Irene, who was kneeling to the side, suppressed by Wu Tian's immense pressure, bit her lip and said in a sweet, childish voice to the old priest Lasol.

Lasol was instantly startled.

“You!”

“Princess?”

“Yes...”

Irene nodded with difficulty.

She looked at Wu Tian with a pleading expression and said.

“Your Majesty the King...”

“Please release me from this state, and let me explain the matter of the prophecy!”

“...”

Wu Tian was startled.

Then he glanced at Irene.

When he saw the unparalleled determination flashing across Irene's tender face, Wu Tian slowly nodded.

He waved his hand!

He lifted the pressure of the Six Harmonies.

Whoosh... Everyone felt a lightness on their bodies, and then they shakily stood up from the ground, silently looking at Wu Tian on the high platform.

After the experience just now... facing the calm-faced Wu Tian again!

They dared not say another word!

“Hoo...”

She gently exhaled.

Irene also stood up from the ground, patting the dust off her legs.

She came to the high platform.

Facing everyone, she slowly began to speak.

“A month ago, when my father died from an assassination by the Mayans, I already possessed the ability to prophesy!”

“Moreover...”

“At the same time, I also received a crucial prophecy!”

Irene paused slightly.

Then she continued.

“Our Atlantean civilization will ultimately be destroyed by the Mayans!”

“And the time of destruction...”

“Is not far from now!”

“...”

Everyone tensed up!

Although they had just learned from Wu Tian that the Mayans could attack Atlantis and destroy their civilization at any time!

However... when these words came from Irene's mouth!

Coming from a royal family member who had awakened the ability of prophecy... the weight was different!

“...”

“However!”

Suddenly, just as everyone was tense!

Irene's voice rang out again from the high platform.

She turned her head and glanced at Wu Tian.

Then she said to everyone.

“In the prophecy I saw, we Atlanteans are not without any chance of survival, at least...”

“I saw in the prophetic vision that three people would come with a skeleton army to save us!”

“One of them will also become the new King of Atlantis!”

“This person!”

Irene pointed at Wu Tian and said with certainty.

“It's him!”

“Our new King, Wu Tian!”

“...”

As Irene's sweet, childish voice fell, the entire Atlantis Sacrificial Plaza immediately fell into silence.

Irene was their Princess... and also someone who had just awakened the ability of prophecy!

Two noble identities combined!

They... had no choice but to believe!

However!

“...”

“What evidence is there?”

The old priest Lasol asked faintly.

“Your Royal Highness, I admit that your unlocking the ability of prophecy is very exciting and happy, but...”

"You are too young, with too little experience!"

"The prophecy you saw..."

"It's not necessarily accurate!"

"..."

"You!"

Eileen's face instantly flushed. He looked at the old priest's indifferent expression, and an uncontrollable surge of anger welled up in his heart.

Wiping away the tears that streamed from his eyes.

Eileen calmly looked at the latter.

A cold voice echoed from the high platform.

"Priest Lasol..."

"Do you remember that every priest has the ability to perform a sacrifice to show the prophecy he saw to others?"

"..."

"What!"

Lasol was instantly startled.

"You mean that method?!"

"No!"

"You cannot!"

Lasol's eyes widened.

He struggled to run towards the high platform!

"Quick, stop her, stop the princess!"

"Stop her!"

"..."

However!

Although the old priest reacted quickly enough, the others beside him weren't as fast. While most people, including Wu Tian, were still in a daze... *Clang!*

Eileen pulled a dagger from her calf!

In front of everyone!

Eileen's left hand suddenly gathered her long hair, then the blade in her right hand flashed!

*Swish!*

More than seventy percent of her hair was directly cut off by Eileen with one stroke, falling slowly onto the high platform as her left hand released it.

Then... amidst everyone's shocked expressions, Eileen once again extended her left arm!

Without hesitation, she slashed directly at her left wrist!

*Swish!*

"Drip..."

"Drip!"

Crimson blood instantly flowed from Eileen's wrist onto the hair beneath her feet.

Her face was slightly pale!

But Eileen's eyes still shone brightly.

She slowly and softly spoke in a firm yet steady voice.

"Burn my hair and skin, offer my essence and blood, sacrifice my soul!"

"Prophecy God of Atlantis..."

"I summon you with royal blood!"

"Help me..."

"Manifest the prophecy!"

*Buzz!*

As Eileen's voice fell, the space between the Sacrificial Plaza and the high platform rippled violently. Then, amidst everyone's astonished and shocked faces, a scene like flowing water slowly emerged.

And at the same time!

The hair at Eileen's feet began to flicker with dazzling fire.

The blood dripping on the ground quickly dried and charred!

Then!

As the hair burned and the blood charred, this water-like light screen slowly stabilized before everyone's eyes.

A scene... instantly appeared clearly and distinctly!

..."Kill!"

The shouts of battle shook the heavens!

In the left half of the screen, fierce enemies wearing thin gauze, yellow helmets, and wielding scimitars appeared!

And on the right side of the screen were the people of Atlantis, dressed in sea-blue garments!

"Brothers!"

"Do not retreat an inch!"

"Follow me..."

"Defend our homeland!"

"Kill!"

"..."

At this moment, the people of Atlantis fought valiantly, bathed in blood!

Even if the Mayans were relentlessly pursuing them from behind!

These people of Atlantis still refused to yield an inch of ground, trading blows, exchanging casualties!

But!

Every person watching the scene could clearly see... the disparity in numbers, the huge gap in combat power!

Pushing the Atlantean side, step by step, towards the abyss!

*Thud!*

*Thud!*

As the Mayans advanced silently and cruelly, Atlantean bodies fell heavily to the ground, one after another!

Their defense line... was pushed back again and again!

Suddenly!

Just as the Atlanteans were about to be overwhelmed by the Mayans' assault... the scene shifted!

The battle scene disappeared!

Instead, the view came to a quiet place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where a long line of old, weak, women, and children was slowly moving through an unknown mountain range.

"..."

Seeing this scene.

All the Atlanteans present were stunned.

Then they all covered their mouths, their eyes quickly filling with intense fear!

They... seemed to have guessed something!

"..."

And as if to confirm their suspicions!

Suddenly!

A shrill cry... echoed through the silent mountains!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemies are coming, everyone run!"

"Leave here!"

"Run, they're catching up!"

"..."

"Ah!"

Suddenly!

A scream was heard. The woman shouting loudly at the rear of the group had her head directly severed by a suddenly appearing sharp steel knife, falling to the ground like a broken piece of wood.

"Gurgle..."

The head rolled on the ground for a while!

Crimson blood... gushed out!

"..."

After a moment of silence!

More tragic cries once again echoed through the tranquil valley!

"Quick!"

"Run faster!"

"They're catching up, everyone run!"

As the woman fell.

The group of old, weak, women, and children in front of her instantly turned red-eyed, shouting loudly to those ahead while directly turning around, using their flesh and blood to block the pursuing Mayans.

"Hahaha!"

"More people coming to their deaths!"

"Come!"

"Leave them to me, I'll practice my swordsmanship!"

"Kill them!"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Kill them all!"

"Brothers, enjoy yourselves..."

"This feast of slaughter!"

"Hahaha..."

"..."

In the eyes of all the Atlanteans watching, the old, weak, women, and children in the prophetic vision fell one by one under the hands of the grinning Mayans who continuously swung their blades from behind!

Blood splattered!

One vibrant life after another quickly vanished!

Soon after... with the last tragic cry subsiding, the entire valley returned to silence once again!

Except... the soil stained crimson with blood... gradually seeped deeper and deeper!

...*Bang!*

In the quiet Sacrificial Plaza, someone, it's unknown who, punched the hard bluestone ground, followed by a heart-wrenching cry!

"Beasts!"

"Not human!"

"These Mayans..."

"These Mayans will not have a good end!"

"Ah!"

"Why don't they even spare the old, weak, women, and children, why?"

"War!"

"Damned war!"

"Why is there war?!"

"..."

Everyone quietly listened to this person's roar, tears streaming from their eyes.

However... before they could fully immerse themselves in this empathetic sorrow.

The scene in the light screen shifted!

Returning to the battlefield!

...At this time, only a few hundred Atlantean warriors remained, while the Mayans surrounding them still numbered over a thousand!

Exhausted, their blades dull and their spirits weary!

In front of the ruthless Mayans, these Atlanteans gradually lost the passion in their hearts!

In the crowd, someone quietly said.

"Let's escape!"

"Our kin are still behind us!"

"Let's meet up with them and find a place to live in seclusion, it's better than dying here!"

"..."

A moment of silence fell upon the crowd.

Then, a leader of the Atlanteans, whose face was unclear, slowly nodded to the person who had just spoken after a brief struggle.

"You..."

"You are right!"

"Let's escape from here!"

"The old, weak, women, and children without able-bodied adults will struggle to survive, we cannot continue fighting..."

"Our tribe..."

"Will be annihilated!"

Everyone fell silent.

Then... "Let's go!"

"We retreat!"

"Let's shake off these Mayans and catch up with the main force of our kin!"

"Find a place to live in seclusion!"

"Rebuild our civilization!"

"Yes!"

"Let's retreat!"

"..."

With various discussions, all the remaining Atlantean warriors reached a consensus—

Escape!

Leave here!

...After paying the price of dozens of deaths, these less than a hundred surviving Atlantean warriors finally escaped the Mayan pursuit. Following the route the old, weak, women, and children had taken earlier, they quickly caught up!

However... when, exhausted, they caught up with these old, weak, women, and children.

And saw the ground covered with bodies... and the crimson blood seeped into the soil!

All of them... collapsed!

They dropped the knives in their hands, dropped their weapons, knelt before their loved ones, sobbing uncontrollably!

They cursed in anger!

Cried in pain!

Roared!

And it was at this moment... the Mayans who had not yet left, carrying their sharp scimitars still dripping with blood... emerged from among the deep forest trees!

"..."

"Sizzle..."

The screen went black!

The light screen flickering in the air instantly vanished!

Everyone was stunned.

Then they looked towards the high platform!

*Thud!*

The hair on the ground had already burned to ashes, leaving only a few dying sparks, and Eileen, due to excessive blood loss, instantly fainted, her small body falling heavily to the ground!

*Swish!*

A figure flashed!

Zhang Meng, who was standing beside the high platform, quickly rushed towards Eileen.

She tenderly held the latter in her arms!

With red eyes, she turned her head and shouted loudly to the stunned, numb crowd below the platform!

"Is this the result you wanted?"

"Heh heh..."

"Not using assassination methods?"

"The old, weak, women, and children fleeing far away from here?"

"Do you think this is a good thing?"

Zhang Meng loudly denounced!

"Ignorant!"

"Fools!"

"The departure of the old, weak, women, and children gave the Mayans an opportunity to cut off the roots, and at the same time, it gave the Atlantean warriors an excuse for the cowardly act of fleeing the battlefield!"

"Annihilation!"

Zhang Meng's tone was chilling!

"The final result is the complete annihilation of you Atlanteans!"

"Heh heh..."

"The most ridiculous and tragic thing in the world..."

"Is nothing more than this!"
