False Court
Chapter 167 Confrontation
Su Mo's heart skipped a beat. He said to the Pseudo Creator · Devourer, "Take a look at that mech in the distance. It looks really strong. Could it be a sixth-generation model?"
The Pseudo Creator · Devourer glanced at it and said to Su Mo with fervor, "Forget about those things. What if it's sixth-generation? It's useless. Hurry up and kill people, kill people and get the fragments."
"Alright."
Su Mo shook his head and responded. The suppression ring on his arm had unconsciously been opened to the second level.
------------------
Deep within the temple.
Spade and the others retreated frantically, quickly arriving at a great hall.
Inside the hall, there stood eight statues, all cast from Eternal Metal, symbolizing eternal existence.
These statues all looked very strange, gesturing in various ways, their expressions blurred and unclear.
At the very front of the hall stood a starlight-covered statue. Strangely, the head of this giant statue was missing.
Its hands held a tray, and on the tray was placed a box.
"We're done for, there's no way to escape."
Beryl and the others looked around, confirming that they had reached the end of the line.
Spade's expression became increasingly grim. He hadn't expected it to be a dead end.
"Look, it seems like that statue is holding something in its hands."
At that moment, Roman raised his finger and pointed.
"What's the use of even the best treasure? In the end, it will still fall into the hands of the Fallen God Church. Those guys are about to catch up."
Beryl replied listlessly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Monrick led a large group of subordinates who rushed over and surrounded them.
"Haha, let's see where you can run this time."
Monrick raised the giant axe in his hand and pointed it at Spade and the others.
At this time, Wang Hai, piloting the battered V-generation bio-mech · Blackthorn Viper, braced himself and stood in front of Spade and the others.
"You think you can stop us? I advise you to surrender immediately. As long as you are willing to join the Fallen God Church, I can spare your lives."
Monrick sneered.
Spade stepped forward and said to Monrick, "If you try to force your hand, we will destroy that treasure box."
Hearing Spade's words, Shuris and the others immediately reacted and raised their weapons, aiming at the treasure box in the statue's hands.
These members of the Fallen God Church were biting at them like mad dogs, most likely for the sake of the relic.
Hearing this, Monrick's eyes became even more violent. There were still people who dared to threaten him these days, but he was indeed a little wary.
That treasure box clearly contained something good, maybe even God's Grit was inside.
If it was really destroyed, then his trip would have been in vain.
However, Monrick was not fooled. He grinned and said, "You think this level of threat will work on me?"
"If it didn't work, you would have already made your move."
Spade saw through the other party's thoughts at a glance.
"Okay, let's make a deal. As long as you don't touch that box, I'll let you leave."
Monrick waved his hand, and the Fallen God believers behind him immediately moved to the sides, making way for a path to leave.
It seemed like they were full of sincerity.
However, Spade didn't seem to buy it. He said calmly, "You think we'll believe you? We'll take the box and give it to you when we leave the relic."
"No way, if you dare to touch the box, I'll chop you up immediately."
Monrick's eyes flashed with ferocity. He had never intended to let these ants go in the first place.
For a moment, the two sides were at a stalemate, neither daring to act rashly.
At this moment, in the vast starry sky above, a huge, invisible eye was staring intently at the two groups of people below.
......
The two sides confronted each other, the atmosphere becoming more and more tense, as if it were a powder keg about to be ignited.
At this time, Bix, piloting a mech, walked between the two sides, with a charming smile on her face. She said enchantingly, "Oh, don't be like this. Everyone is just trying to make a living. Why don't we each take a step back? To show our sincerity, how about we let some of you leave first?"
Kyo Witte said angrily, "Bix, are you crazy? When have we ever compromised?"
"Shut up! You idiot, Lord Monrick hasn't said anything yet."
Bix scolded Kyo Witte.
Just as Kyo Witte was about to explode, Monrick's eyes rolled and he said, "Let's follow Bix's suggestion, what do you think? Isn't that generous enough of us?"
Spade took a deep breath and said to them, "We need to discuss it."
"Discuss it as you please."
Bix replied with a chuckle.
Then, Spade and the others gathered together.
"What should we do? Are we really going to do what they say? I have a feeling this is a conspiracy."
Beryl said through gritted teeth.
"The problem is, if we don't follow their suggestion, they'll probably get desperate soon, and then none of us will be able to escape."
Roman became increasingly agitated and uneasy.
Celian hesitated for a moment and said, "I think this is also an opportunity. It's better to escape with some than none."
Gower also agreed, "That's right, it's better than being wiped out."
Spade pondered for a moment and finally said, "Then let's do it. Everyone go and count the people who want to leave."
"Okay!"
Roman and the others nodded in response.
Soon, Spade and the others selected a large group of people, preparing to send them away first.
"Lord Spade, we're not leaving, you should go first."
Zhang Wei took the lead and said.
"No, you are all the most important people in our Federation, I must ensure your safety."
Spade shook his head and replied.
......
At this time, Bix, piloting her mech, kept wandering back and forth between the two groups, while constantly urging them.
"You better hurry up and finalize the list of people. Otherwise, if Lord Monrick gets impatient, you won't have another chance."
"Hmph, we don't need you to rush us!"
Wang Hai said, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Oh my~ don't be so angry, wouldn't it be worse if you hurt your body?"
Bix was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly manipulated the Slayer to disappear with a light-speed blink.
"Not good!"
Wang Hai's expression changed drastically.
Shuris and the others immediately launched an attack on the box, beams of light blasting towards it.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The Slayer instantly appeared in front of the statue, grabbed the box with one hand, and deployed an energy barrier at the same time.
Rumble~
The attacks launched by Shuris and the others were all blocked by the energy barrier.
Just as Wang Hai and the others were about to rush up.
Bix disappeared with a second light-speed blink, then appeared next to Monrick, respectfully handing the box to Monrick.
"Lord Monrick."
"Haha, well done."
Monrick took the box.
Spade and the others immediately turned ashen-faced, their last hope gone.
Everything happened too fast, the whole process took less than two seconds, and the item had fallen into the opponent's hands.
"It's over! It's really over this time."
Gower said, his body trembling.
The Fallen God believers, who had originally made way, menacingly surrounded them, each with murderous intent.
At this time, Monrick twisted his neck and said violently, "Now it's time to send you to hell!"
"Brothers, fight them!"
Wang Hai shouted to the crowd with red eyes.
Just then, a golden stream of light rushed into the temple, and Su Mo, piloting the Scorching Sun Wings, crashed down in the middle of the two groups with a bang, then said grimly.
"Who are you planning to send to hell?"
When Bix saw the Scorching Sun Wings, her voice changed. She shouted in horror, "Damn it! It's the Royal Knights!"
