Chapter 1106 Who fished out the Star Coins?
Claude raised his head, his bloodthirsty gaze piercing through the darkness and landing on the two pale faces at the edge of the well.
They were two unfamiliar agents, dressed in the robes of different pantheons, and were trembling like quails seeing wolves in the cold wind.
Fear is the ingredient that Claude enjoys most.
"Get down here." He said calmly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable command.
The two men exchanged a glance, their eyes practically overflowing with fear.
But he still tumbled and scrambled down the well wall, landing with a splash in the muddy water, splattering blood everywhere.
When they saw the two charred corpses on the ground, they were terrified.
"Lord Claude! Spare us!" One of them immediately knelt down, his head pounding against the ground.
"We're not here to take the Holy Grail from you! We...we want to pledge our allegiance to you!"
"Yeah!"
The other person also realized what was happening and stammered in agreement.
"We've had enough of those so-called gods!"
"Only a true powerhouse like you deserves the Holy Grail! We are willing to serve you like a slave!"
The two buried their heads in the mud, their posture extremely humble, as if they were afraid that if they were even a second too slow, they would follow in the footsteps of the two corpses on the ground.
Claude's lips curled into a playful smile as he lowered his head and toyed with the dark gold cup in his hand, as if admiring a perfect work of art.
"Trying to join me?" He scoffed. "You think you're worthy?"
The moment the words left his mouth, the two agents looked up in terror.
All they saw was a blinding purple flash of lightning that rapidly magnified in their pupils!
"Do not--!"
boom! !
A burst of lightning erupted, and the two heads instantly exploded into a bloody mist.
The headless corpse twitched twice before collapsing heavily onto its companion's cold body.
Claude didn't even bother to look at them again; he simply swept away a few flies without needing a reason.
He slowly turned around, preparing to leave the filthy ancient well.
However, in the instant he turned around, the ground beneath his feet...
And the entire well wall began to tremble violently without warning!
It wasn't an earthquake.
This tremor came from deeper underground!
Click... click...
It was as if something ancient and heavy was awakening from a thousand-year slumber.
Beneath the ancient well, in a deeper cavity of the earth's strata.
Three enormous stone statues, integrated with the rock strata, slowly opened their long-sealed eyes.
Those were not the eyes of a living being, but an energy core shimmering with a ghostly blue light.
“It’s here…” The central stone statue emitted a deep, drum-like fluctuation of spiritual energy.
"Desire, greed, killing, despair... what a wonderful atmosphere."
The statue on the left responded, "[Pencil] loves this flavor the most."
"The fighting at the well is all to lure it in." The voice of the stone statue on the right carried a hint of urgency.
"Get your 'pocket' ready, it's coming closer, right above you!"
The energy cores of the three stone statues shone brightly, and an invisible net of laws quietly unfolded between them.
They were just waiting for the coin, a symbol of calamity, to fall into their trap.
They could clearly "see" an ancient coin emitting an eerie blue light.
Drawn by Inoue's intense negative emotions, like a shark smelling blood, it tore through space and plummeted down!
Close! Closer!
Just a fraction of a second before the statues were about to close the net!
The blue-glowing Star Coin seemed to have been greatly startled.
With a sudden stop, it turned around at ten times the speed it came from, instantly tore through space, and disappeared without a trace!
"...Gone?" The stone statue on the left was stunned.
"How is this possible?! It abandoned the delicious food here?" The statue on the right asked incredulously.
The central stone statue remained silent for a moment, its deep blue eyes gazing in a direction outside Wucheng, its voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity.
"No, it did not give up."
"It simply...discovered an even grander, more maddening...emotional feast outside the city."
Meanwhile, on another battlefield dozens of kilometers away.
On the parched oasis, dozens of awakened individuals from different organizations are engaged in a fierce battle over a treasure that floats in mid-air.
The light of divine magic, supernatural abilities, and curses rose and fell, illuminating the entire night sky as bright as day.
On the edge of the battlefield, behind an inconspicuous wind-eroded rock, two figures stood quietly, as if they had become one with the night.
"He'll get it soon."
Wu Hen adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflecting the distant firelight, his tone calm as if stating a fact.
“Pakash, Vishnu’s agent. This guy’s strength is indeed ridiculously high.”
He watched as the man, radiating golden light, rampaged through the crowd, about to touch the golden wine jug floating in mid-air.
The shape of that wine jug bears a striking resemblance to the legendary Holy Grail.
"Old Wu, tell me, is it really worth making them fight like this over a fake product?"
Lin Qiye had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, his tone carrying a hint of roguishness, as if he were enjoying watching a good show.
"Whether it's true or false doesn't matter." Wu Hen pushed up his glasses, his gaze sharp.
“The important thing is that everyone ‘believes’ it’s true.”
"As long as you have enough faith, even the false can attract the true."
"Oh? Which one is real?" Lin Qiye asked with great interest.
“【Star Coins】.” Wu Hen’s gaze swept across the chaotic crowd, finally landing on Lin Qiye.
"This entire battlefield, including the commotion Claude caused at the well, are two huge baits."
"Everyone thinks they're fighting for the Holy Grail, but their real target is the Star Pentacle, drawn by chaos and calamity. Isn't that what our plan is all about?"
Lin Qiye smiled, spat out the grass stem in his mouth, and gestured in a direction completely opposite to Wucheng.
"The plan was correct, and the fish did indeed take the bait," he said lazily.
"However, the fishing rod was stolen halfway there."
Wu Hen was taken aback, and looked in the direction he indicated. His expression instantly changed: "You mean... the [Star Coins] have been lured elsewhere? How is that possible?"
"Is there any negative emotion stronger than the two Holy Grail Wars?"
"Who knows?" Lin Qiye shrugged, adopting an indifferent attitude.
"Maybe some unlucky person didn't check the almanac before going out and accidentally caused an even bigger mess."
"There is never a shortage of accidents in this world."
Wu Hen frowned deeply: "What do we do now? Pakash is about to get that fake Holy Grail!"
"Once he discovers it's fake, our entire scheme will be ruined!"
In the center of the battlefield, Pakash had already defeated his last opponent.
He laughed wildly and reached out to grab the golden wine jug that exuded endless allure!
Victory is at hand!
"Don't rush, let him take it." Lin Qiye's lips curled into a smile of anticipation.
"Only after we get it...can the real show begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pakash's fingers finally touched the cold body of the pot.
In that instant when everyone was focused on it, a divine power far more violent and ancient than the golden wine jug itself...
Without warning, it exploded from within Pakash's own body!
