Chapter 224 - Death
For the first time, Ancestor Lilibeth revealed a pale expression. However, she immediately hid it. But with the eyes of the old monsters here who were present, how could they not catch this? This meant that she was truly shaken by the conditions of the opponent.
What did it mean to kill all their emperors and ancestors including her? It meant that the other party did not want them to be the leading figure of the Sea Continent any longer and they should stop their ambition from this point! Doing this, the Sea Ancient Race would fall from the sky to the bottom. After all, with all the strong emperors gone, how could the ancient race still fight for the power struggle?
With the emperors gone, all the members of the ancient race would only suffer humiliation and other powers bullying them as they treated everyone arrogantly like the people around were only ants. All these years, they had accumulated more and more enemies as they had provoked many. Thus, it would be impossible if those who hated them to the bones would let the incapacitated ancient race go.
In other words, the ancient race would face a fate worse than death.
Ancestor Lilibeth closed her eyes. It seemed like she was deeply thinking over this matter. No one had disturbed her as silence engulfed the entire arena. Even Lord Myaw kept his mouth shut, but his eyes were still looking at them with disdain.
The king and emperors behind Ancestor Lilibeth almost peed their crotch in fright. They're doomed! No matter what, this fat cat would not let them off! This time, he was regretting coming here to seek trouble against Jin Rou. He was even more regretting to have a daughter like Xu Hai who offended such a being! After all, if not for her, would he even be in this kind of predicament?
The king tried pushing the blame to others when the mistake lied upon himself. Perhaps it was because of his distorted mind, his rationality and reasoning were being clouded. But who knows?
While the king was like this, the emperors were not even better. Even after they had lived for more than 500,000 years and tempered their mental fortitude and temperament, they could not help but be scared shitless. In the past, they treated everyone as ants below their feet that they could stomp anytime. But now, the tables have turned as they became the ants that were just waiting for their deaths. Who would have known that they would meet their match this time around? And thus, they could only glare at the king who made them step into this muddy water! This was the fault of their own king! Everything started with him!
But what could their resentment do? Even if they wanted to do something, their ancestor would not let them be.
They wanted to fight back, though they would just die. It was better to die fighting rather than waiting for their deaths here. But the decision was no longer in the king's hands. Now that Ancestor Lilibeth came into being, every decision lied upon her hands. And no matter what her decision was, no one could question it.
Ancestor Lilibeth finally opened her eyes. She revealed an expression filled with despair as she shook her head and deeply sighed, "Very well. I agree."
"Ancestor!" The king and emperors could not help but blurted the same thing. Although they were already expecting this kind of answer, they were still, after all, unwilling to die! They have too many ambitions that had yet to be reached.
"Shut up, you unfilial descendants!" For the first time, Ancestor Lilibeth was angered as she released her aura, making the three kneel behind her, "If not for your foolishness and greed, do you think we will be in this type of situation? You brought this upon yourself, so who can you blame?"
"But Ancestor..." The king was more scared because their ancestor was angered. But he still spoke in a low tone, "You will die as well."
This was true. Their ambitions aside, they did not want Ancestor Lilibeth to die with them. Even if all the emperors were gone in the ancient race, as long as their ancestor was still alive, the ancient race could still prosper! A powerhouse with a True Monarch? That was surely terrifying.
But Lord Myaw had clearly declared that their ancestor should also die. So what could they do aside from waiting for their deaths here?
"Enough." Ancestor Lilibeth said solemnly, "Perhaps, this is retribution for all the things my ancient race has done. As the 'Mother' of the ancient race, I have failed to teach you, my descendants, of proper bearings and manners. Thus I should also die."
However, Ancestor Lilibeth did not expect to have things turned out this way. She exited her long time seclusion to check the current state of the ancient race only to find out that their king was on their way causing trouble to the Land Continent. Thus, as she was worried, she followed the tracks left by the king. He brought their two First-Generation Immortal Emperors, after all. So it meant that he would do something big.
"..." The three did not know what to say at this point. The two emperors just closed their eyes in resignation. Indeed, this was retribution for all their deeds.
"We are now ready." Ancestor Lilibeth said sternly, "But please, as you said, you will spare the children, elderly, and the women of my ancient race."
"But of course." Lord Myaw grinned, "As respect to your decisiveness and maturity, I will grant you a painless and quick death."
Crack! Soon, a soft cracking sound sounded.
Thud! Afterwhich, Ancestor Lilibeth shook for a split second before falling with a thud. There's no blood, but everyone knew that the True Monarch was now dead.
"Ancestor..." The king and the emperors muttered softly. It seemed that their will to live had vanished entirely as their eyes were filled with devoid emotion.
"Then now, since the three of you ants caused trouble for His Majesty, I will make you suffer a bit before you die." Lord Myaw's eyes turned evil.
"You... Ahhhhhhh!" The three wanted to say something, but soon, they felt that their insides were being ravaged bit by bit. It was like thousands of flesh-eating ants were currently devouring their organs.
Their screams were so ear-piercing, totally giving chills to everyone present. Their eyes turned bloodshot, as they were screaming for the relief of death.
Everyone's breathing paused for a moment, revealing pale expressions.
After several minutes, the silence permeated the arena once again. But the three were nowhere to be found. It seemed like their bodies and souls were completely devoured and turned into nothingness.
