MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter

Chapter 403: 403
In the beginning, many players who had been defeated thought they had truly struck gold.

After all, acquiring gemstones that even great masters coveted was a considerable wealth in itself. Although they had been defeated, what they had gained in comparison and considering the penalty for failing the mission, it seemed insignificant.

Many people were instantly revived in the cemeteries of the outside world, and they could not wait to admire the treasure they had acquired.

But the sight of the so-called treasure left them in disbelief.

What they had risked their lives for wasn’t some remarkable gemstone, but just a kind of hard stone.

It wasn’t even worth a single copper coin, let alone a gold coin.

Many even thought it was an illusion, until they saw the horrified expressions on the faces of the people around them who had also revived, and realized something was wrong.

“It’s a scam, this is a scam.” Many players who had been killed discovered the truth.

Many were not alone; thinking of their companions who were still fighting in the hall for these worthless stones, they immediately spread the news.

Initially, they didn’t believe it themselves, thinking that those who had retreated were trying to swallow the treasures. But as more and more people shouted out that the treasures were fake.

Many of the rational people had already stopped fighting and retreated to the edge of the hall.

“How can it be fake? It’s impossible.”

Some masters who were fighting stopped, and many used their unique methods to identify the authenticity of the gemstones.

However, these treasures, which by all accounts should be genuine, were increasingly revealing flaws when tested with other methods.

“Why, why is it fake? I would have been Prince.”

“Imperial Stone, Imperial Stone, why is it so fragile? My puppet depended on it, why is it fake?”

“Moonstone, why does Moonstone not have a bit of Moon God’s power? This isn’t real.”

More and more people discovered the problem and all with disappointed faces.

“Greed, desire, hatred, blood, abomination, such delicious things. You little insects have actually woken up.”

A ethereal and illusory voice echoed in the hall.

“Who are you and why are you deceiving us?”

“Deception, ha ha ha, you are just too foolish. You just saw what you most wanted to see. I satisfied your desires, you should thank me, worship me, kneel down, worship your God, believe in me, I can give you everything you want.”

With a voice that seemed to carry a bewitching spell, many people with weak will and spiritual power had a look of confusion in their eyes, ready to kneel down.

At this time Li Yao spoke up: “Which ancient god are you who doesn’t even dare to disclose your own identity, but is here trying to deceive people. Forget it, even if you said, I wouldn’t want to know. You’re so foolish as to try to deceive these fools to be your believers and then help you. I feel sad for you, these people are just cannon fodder, only someone as desperate as you would see them.”

“Oh, an interesting little insect, is it you who has absorbed my divine power? Are you an envoy of one of my old friends?” The voice of the ancient god was filled with astonishment.

“You think too highly of yourselves, what are you, just poor creatures sealed by the Titans for hundreds of thousands of years, but still think Highly of yourselves, it’s ridiculous.” Li Yao disregarded him, if it weren’t for these ancient gods somehow linking with the Star Soul of the Divine Continent, the Titans would have killed them long ago.

Star Soul is the soul and will of a planet, and not every life planet can produce a Star Soul.

This was also the main reason why the Titans loved this planet and spent a lot of effort to rectify this planet.

The ancient gods were best at corrosion and penetration. If they weren’t sure how they were linked to the Star Soul and the Titans killed them, the Star Soul would be destroyed, and this world would come to an end.

This was the major reason why the Titans sealed them.

“I am the great ancient god. If you want to believe in me, kill this blasphemer, and I will fulfill your wishes.” As the ancient god spoke, the scene of the hall changed again.

The original golden hall had disappeared, and in its place was a terrifying and gloomy hall filled with disgusting boils. There seemed to be something struggling to come out of the boils, making one sick to look at.

Although these masters are as timid as mice, they deeply understand the stance of several camps towards the ancient gods. If they choose to side with the ancient gods, it will truly be a dead end.

Not to mention the players, who’s going to believe in your ancient god? Worship you? Kneel down to you? What a joke.

“Get out.”

Someone shouted, and everyone rushed towards the door like the wind.

But as soon as someone rushed to the door, they were corroded by the black gas and cried out in unbearable pain.

Everyone stopped in fear, their eyes wide open, helplessly watching these few players die in agony.

Many were just a step away from the door, their foreheads full of cold sweat at this sight.

“So you want to run after you come in, kill him, I’ll give you everything you want.” The ancient god’s voice had a hint of impatience.

“You can’t even kill me, this so-called insect, but you want others to worship you? How naive. Furthermore, you’re not even an ancient god, just a spiritual divide of one. The best you can do is deceive people. I’ll just stand here, what can you do to me?”

The masters and players hearing Li Yao’s words also stabilized from the panic. As long as they’re not facing the real ancient god, it’s all good.

Li Yao said, “You can all see it now, this place is a dwelling of a spiritual divide from the ancient god. He is not powerful yet, this is the best opportunity for us to eliminate it. This will be a great achievement, once we return, you will certainly get recognition and rewards from your tribes. Even if the tribes don’t give the rewards, the factions certainly will, otherwise who will fight for the faction, don’t you agree?”

“Stop talking nonsense, weren’t you the one who tricked us in here?”

“That’s right, if you hadn’t opened this evil door, we wouldn’t be trapped in here.”

“You must have known long ago that the ancient god is here, and yet you tricked us into coming in. You have insidious intentions!”

Li Yao sneered, “That’s right, I knew it long ago. But with your timid personalities, I’m afraid you would be scared and flee after hearing the name of the ancient god. You wouldn’t be able to be here. I just speak the truth, I hope you don’t mind.”

“Damn it, how could we be those kind of people.” Many masters turned red in shame, what Li Yao said was indeed, they would have left long ago if they could escape.

“Whether or not, you know it in your hearts.” Li Yao pointed and said, “Look over there and prepare for battle.”
