Chapter 115: The Looming Collapse

The White Hall is not white, on the contrary, the White Hall is an almost black ancient hall, the reason why it is said to be the "White Palace" is because behind the White Hall is the majestic statue of the White Snake Lady Mona, for this famous snake girl, the awe for her is also attached to this ancient hall.

No one can say exactly when it was built, only that the oldest known ancient snake king ruled the entire underwater world here, passed down from generation to generation, the white hall has gone through 34,000 years, 43 eras of rise and fall, during which a total of 479 snake kings, 23 sea giant kings, 14 mermaid kings, 3 fish-man kings, and a sea fairy king ruled the sea here.

The reign time of each generation of kings is different, the long is four or five hundred years, and the short one is even less than a day before he is forced to abdicate, but most of the time the king's reign is a hundred years, and then he will automatically abdicate, which is what the sea tribe calls "a hundred days and a hundred moons". During this time, the illustrious White Hall was once burned down by the famous tyrant, the arrogant Fishman King Usomoqi, but was eventually restored by his successors, and for most underwater creatures, being able to step into the White Hall is something that only happens in a dream.

But since all the snake people mysteriously disappeared six hundred years ago, it has been a long time since the snake man king was born, and there is only the venerable council that "governs in place of the snake man king".

And now, the atmosphere in the White Hall was solemn, waiting for the three earthly beings to step in.

......

"Shuffled......

With the sound of metal rings colliding, three above-ground beings stepped into the hall.

"Atlantean ......"

When they saw the two men, a man and a woman, the many Venerables with different appearances couldn't help but whisper, and the hall became buzzing, and all kinds of surprised and suspicious eyes were projected on the two men and women.

They wore brass shackles on their feet, and brass shackles on their hands, and although they were a little haggard, they were clearly the old enemies of the Serpents, the Atlanteans.

In ancient mythological times, before the wise King Unogaya went mad, the serpents of the sea were enemies of the Atlanteans of the earth.

At that time, the snakes harnessed the power of steam and brass, towering floating warships that could cover the sky and the sun, countless machines tens of meters long, and mobile fortresses poured from the bottom of the sea to the earth...... The snake people, who are adept at harnessing the power of steam, have even begun to explore the sky where the gods live.

It was the peak of the Serpent Age, and the enemies they faced were the "barbarian" Atlanteans, who were still primitive and still fought with primitive bows, swords, and armor.

But the Atlanteans are good at using magic, the combination of cold weapons and magic, so that those Atlanteans use swords to cut off thousands of tons of mechanical giants, magic transformed trebuchets and soaring in the sky of floating battleship turrets, astrology makes the snake people's reconnaissance machinery have no way to hide, even the most powerful snake commander can be successfully decapitated by the Atlantean hero blessed with stealth......

In the end, the millennium-long war between the Serpents and the Atlanteans ended in a compromise with each side taking a step back. The Atlanteans were wary of the snakes of the sea, and the snakemen were also hostile to the Atlanteans on the earth, and the millennium of war had made the two sides bitter enemies.

But not long after, a great catastrophe ended the story of the two rivals......

There are few and vague accounts of that great catastrophe, and then the madness of King Unogaya destroyed the few records, and the Venerable Ones only vaguely knew that it was related to the father of the serpent.

After that, the snake people stayed in the underwater world built by the ancient snake people, and had little contact with the successors of the Atlanteans, only vaguely knowing that the old enemy had lost many of its skills this time and fell into barbarism.

And now, two living descendants of the Atlanteans have stepped into the White Hall, which makes these Sea Clan Venerables a little moved.

The serpent princess Yaangjemu who sat directly above the throne ignored this, her eyes kept on the tall human figure shrouded in a cloak, it stood beside the two Atlanteans, and did not show its face, but it made Yaanjemu feel an inexplicable heartbeat, as if it was an innate sense of closeness.

The innate closeness was unwarranted, but it was remarkably real.

"That figure is ......"

Wearing a crown on his head and a solemn face, a complex mood has already risen.

After a little commotion, the eyes of many Venerable Beings finally turned to the "protagonist" of this time, the tall figure shrouded in a cloak, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious.

"Outsider, lift your cloak and reveal your true face. ”

Inside the grand hall, the low, hoarse voice of the chief priest rang out.

The tall figure was silent for a moment, then lifted his cloak......

The deathly silence, although it had been confirmed by the news, but when the snake was actually seen, that primal instinct still made many Venerable Beings feel indescribable awe.

Snake scales all over the body, protruding forehead, erect needle-shaped pupils...... Although he had only seen him in the portrait, this glance alone confirmed his identity to everyone, the snake, the snakeman, and the primitive snake man.

The reason is simple, they feel the sense of oppression from the superior to the inferior.

Among the many dependents of the Father of the Serpent, the Snake Man has the most devout belief in the Father of the Serpent, because the Snake Man is the embodiment of the will of the Father of the Serpent, and the noble person among the Serpent is the Serpent, or the Serpent.

They are often not snake people, but other races inspired by the snake father to transform into snake people, and their offspring will also be snake people, so it is said that the oldest snake people are snake people, and snake people are also called "primitive snake people".

Because they are not snake people in the bloodline, but snake people who are inspired by the snake father, they are regarded as "messengers of the snake father" and "the closest life to the snake father", these snakes are born according to the mission given by the snake father, the number is extremely rare, sometimes there may not be one for centuries, and now there is a living snake in front of them.

Among the sea tribes, there is an order of dignity and inferiority, and the superior race has a natural sense of oppression for the lower race, and the lower race will unconsciously obey the superior race, which is nature.

So, a mermaid with a little snake blood can also be regarded as a snake princess, making the entire underwater world obedient, but what happens when a snake appears?

"Father of Serpents, that's ......"

A Sea Clan Venerable with a head similar to a seahorse looked at the figure, almost speechless with excitement, many Sea Clan Venerables were excited by the appearance of the snake, but some of the Sea Clan were bowing their heads in contemplation.

Does it mean that six hundred years ago, the snake people, who were regarded as the manifestation of the will of the father of the snake, suddenly perished and no one knew why, but six hundred years later, a new snake was born?

And on the throne, the beautiful creature wearing the crown looked at the snake in front of him, his eyes were complicated, and there was jealousy and unwillingness in it.

She was unwilling, she worked so hard but lost to others because of her natural bloodline, which made her taste jealousy for the first time in her life, but after a long time, a sense of relief and relief gradually emerged in her heart.

Yes, the twelve generations of kings above her have been forced to bear the responsibility of "the last bloodline of the snake people", desperately trying to continue the snake bloodline, but now it seems that there is no need.

"Congratulations, new king. ”

In the main hall, under the gaze of many eyes, the tall and beautiful creature stood up and leaned slightly towards the snake in front of him.

......

"It'...... That's it, Aquaman?"

Until the shackles on her body were removed at the will of the new Serpent King, Joan was still a little incredulous, as if in a dream.

A few days ago, the three of them were still prisoners, and suddenly one of their companions became the snake king at the bottom of the sea? there was no inspection, no power struggle, no further inquiry, and they didn't even know what Uberto's personality was, just because Uberto showed his face, those Venerables directly recognized his identity as the snake king. The old king abdicated, the new king ascended the throne, and the news spread to all corners of the sea.

That's weird, isn't it? Is the throne of the underwater world so nonsense?

Young Joan said she couldn't understand your snake civilization.

But Roberts clearly didn't think so, Roberts's expression was silent, he already realized something.

"Joan, judging from my father's experience, if things are in such a hurry and urgency, it may not be a good thing. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at the palace not far away, not far from the White Hall was the palace of the King of the Sea, where the snake princess used to live, and now lived Uberto, the new snake king.

In the palace, Uberto, who had just become the new king, leaned against the bath, the crown beside him was thrown aside at will, and the more than a hundred attendants who served him were also ordered out by him, and now it was the only one in the vast bath.

It didn't look happy when it became the snake king, and could only see the silence and gloom on its face.

"Time is running out. ”

The world of infernal lava reappeared, the angel sitting on the throne of the sword covered in blood, ignoring the cries of the many monsters beneath him, and his eyes looked in the direction of Uberto. Lips move slightly.

Uberto didn't answer, but subconsciously scratched his neck, since it became more and more snakey, the scales under the skin continued to grow, and each time it would make him itch unbearably.

But all the hand could reach was a few remnants of human skin and newborn snake scales.

The power of the angel pendant hanging from his chest was constantly surging, fighting against the power gushing out of his body, and the conflict between the two forces had reached a level unimaginable to ordinary people, and it was precisely by relying on this that he was able to maintain his reason and not be swallowed by instinct.

"I can't hold it back for long. ”

As if sensing Uberto's pleading gaze, the angel's lips moved slightly.

"Find the statue that sealed the heart as soon as possible and bring it to that ...... The crater, I will seal it in this forgotten world......"

This is a plan that has been made by the two parties for a long time, the angel who was forced to not be able to leave half a step, the talented human, the two sides joined forces to seal the heart that was about to be unsealed, but now the signs of that "thing" being unsealed are becoming more and more obvious, but the plan has not been completed for a long time.

When he got the world key, Uberto once thought that he was only one step away from success, but in the end he was taken away, but now he was a little shaken, is that kind of success that is only one step away, is it also the illusion given to them by that "thing"?

"Can it really be successful? ”

He muttered inexplicably.

"Don't waver, human, that's the best at demagoguery and deception, you are indeed only one step away from success, don't deny yourself, or you will ......"

Before the angel could finish speaking, the illusion in front of him shattered, replaced by a pair of cold erect pupils.

Looking at the erect pupils, Uberto suddenly felt a deep and vast aura, like the sea, like the universe, the overly grand things strolling by, and the tiny insects had been trampled to pieces.

It's not good, it's not malicious, it's just dismissive......

In front of those pupils, in front of this overly grand thing, Uberto felt naked in the universe, surrounded by emptiness and darkness, in which human beings were insignificant and worthless, and deep trepidation and uneasiness filled his heart.

At that moment, a warm current came from the pendant on his chest, dispelling the fear in Uberto's heart.

The image in front of me is back to reality again......

"Time is running out. ”

Until the end, the angel's voice only repeated.

Uberto's breathing was rapid and disordered, it couldn't speak, it could only gasp for breath, bite its lower lip, and before you knew it, cold sweat was already oozing from its body.
