I'm not just human!

Finally, he sprinkled the last cryptic inscription and, as was customary, infused it with a wisp of strange electricity.

boom--!

The moment the last citrine pink cryptic inscription was formed, perhaps due to the incorporation of a strange electric current, it transformed into a diamond-like color.

Xia Fa was terrified. He felt the Star Silver Mechanical Pillars around him suddenly lengthen and grow taller, and then they transformed into Greek-style palace columns!

These Greek-style columns intertwine to form a magnificent ceiling adorned with intricate reliefs, from which golden chandeliers hang.

Following that, the walls covered with valuable paintings extended out from the roof, and the figures in the paintings on the walls could even move!

Xia Fazheng was puzzled. Although he knew that this was a scene obtained through divination, and because the mysterious young ruler was no longer present, his divination scene had once again become like a holographic movie he was experiencing in person.

But where is this?

Xia Fa looked at the enormous palace, and in terms of sheer luxury, it was even comparable to the palace of the extraordinary monarch, Dictator.

He knew that Pompeii was very likely hiding here, but exactly where was it?

Immediately, two voices rang out, dispelling Xia Fa's doubts.

"Kaldan, this is incredible! You're actually willing to give up the last recruitment spot of the year to Xiafa? What about your illegitimate son?"

"Let him wait another year; it's good for him to toughen up."

"Hahahaha, not bad, not bad. I used to think you were a cold-blooded bastard, but now it seems you're actually quite humane."

"Axo, that's a bit harsh of you. How am I cold-blooded?"

"Haha, just kidding. By the way, since that's the case, shouldn't we invite Xia Fa to tomorrow's family dinner?"

"Yes, of course. You should contact him. It would be best to ask the head of the family to grant Xia Fa a title."

As the conversation began, accompanied by footsteps,

Xiafa saw that in the corridor not far in front of the palace, which was covered with a gold and red mosaic carpet, the elder of the Augustus family he knew, the kind-hearted and plump demigod Axor, was walking over with another elder, Cardan.

"They're actually going to recruit me into the Augustus family? And they don't even know I've already been granted a title..."

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised, but based on the conversations he had overheard between the noble students and church elites over the past two days, he learned some secrets.

It seems that apart from their fierce competition in private, neither the Augustan family nor the Selene royal family had any major conflicts.

If we don't count the royal succession six hundred years ago.

From this perspective, joining the Augustus family might be a good option, giving you more choices.

He just didn't expect that the usually aloof Cardan actually agreed with him quite a bit in private, probably because of the God's Land in the desert.

But the key point is—

"What about Pompeii? I remember I divined about Pompeii, didn't I?"

Xia Fa was a little confused. Why hadn't he seen Pompeii yet?

"Watch out! This is a high-end suit that I just had custom-made!"

Suddenly, Cardan's shout rang out. It was a middle-aged servant who was mopping the floor, and the water from the mop almost splashed onto Cardan.

Just as Xia Fa was about to look at the middle-aged servant, the image suddenly shattered, and the Greek-style columns in the palace rapidly shrank, about to revert to the shape of the Star Silver Mechanical Columns.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he saw the middle-aged servant's face clearly and even sensed his presence.

The man had blond hair and a seemingly fearful expression, but when he lowered his head, he revealed an undisguised indifference and coldness.

It was... Pompeii!

"Pompeii is hiding at Augustus's house? What is he doing at Augustus's house?"

"Isn't he afraid of being discovered by Gaius, the head of the Augustus family and the ruler-level Marshal?"

Xia Fa was quite surprised, but at the same time, his killing intent also rose.

Regardless, Pompey had almost killed him, and he had killed Pompey's son and grandson; the two had become mortal enemies.

And now, while he is in the shadows and Pompeii is in the light, he will be invited to a dinner party hosted by the Augustus family tomorrow night.

Xiafa decided that right then and there, he would kill Pompeii!

At that point, it won't matter whether the Silver Throne's secret abilities are exposed or not.

"He must possess something that counters divination, which is why the divination image shattered the moment I saw him..."

Xia Fa even suspected that if he continued using the method of divination with citrine, pig iron, and live iron powder, he might not be able to divine Pompeii at all.

Pompeii and his master were certainly on guard because of the deaths of Baldr and his son.

However, he was exceptionally skilled and had mastered mechanical divination. Combined with the strange electric current at his spine, he was able to divine the location of Pompeii.

With his plan in mind, Xia Fa waved his hand and put the five star silver mechanical pillars into his bag, intending to use them again next time. This way, he wouldn't have to enter the Silver Throne form every time he performed a divination.

As for the citrine powder, it was used up the moment the divination ended.

As he pondered whether he should perform another divination to ascertain the origin of his sword-shaped sealed artifact and its other abilities,

Suddenly, a gray shadow quietly emerged from behind a tree not far ahead, sneaking towards the slender metal bottle in the center of the clearing.

The gray shadow was covered in grayish-white scales, and its huge wings were folded and pressed against its back. Although it looked cautious, it had its own kingly majesty.

Its body structure is so perfect that it doesn't seem like a living thing, but rather like a creation of a god.

It is... a Mist Scale Dragon cub!

Chapter 151 The Second Overlord? An Encounter Between a Fairy Tale World and the Silver Throne!

"It's finally here..."

Xia Fa did not hesitate and stood up.

The moment he stood up, star-blue mercury seeped from the corners of his eyes, flowing down his cheeks like two lines of bloody tears, with specks of starlight emanating from the mercury.

At first glance, it's a bit creepy, but it also gives people a sense of mystery, like a religious ritual.

At the same time, massive amounts of star-blue mercury rapidly gushed out from his ears, nostrils, mouth, and even the openings in his wrists and ankles, instantly covering his entire body.

Mercury vapor billowed out, sparkling like starlight, as if mist had spread into the universe, serene and sacred.

Amidst the steam, a 3.9-meter-tall metallic figure stood upright, its back ramrod straight.

Xia Fa opened his eyes amidst the steam, his dark gaze revealing a monarchical majesty.

Upon realizing that his Starshine Silver Throne form had increased his height from 3.5 meters to 3.9 meters, Xia Fa couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The little gift that the person who answered the question gave him—that black potion—is still getting more valuable!

Without much thought, Xia Fa casually waved his left hand, causing the entire space of the vine-covered house to bend inward, and with a snap, the vines broke off one by one.

With a snap of his right hand, he concealed countless stones of varying sizes on the ground into the rift of time, only to release them again in an instant.

After performing all the necessary divination interference, Xia Faxing opened his silver palm, and the "distress candy" wrapped in colorful striped candy wrapper fell out.

pat!

Without hesitation, he crushed it.

The mist-scaled dragon cub had spotted Xiafa hiding in the vine hut the moment the mercury steam began to rise.

It immediately turned around, its single horn pointing at Xiafa. Its originally grayish-white body was transformed from head to toe by a beam of light, suddenly turning into a holy, pure white.

Those were its scales, which had transformed from a grayish-white that facilitated camouflage in the fog and forest into a dazzling holy white!

This is its pre-hunt hunting behavior!

Hiss!!!

The Mistscaled Dragon cub let out a ferocious roar, its six wings flapping open at once, its mouth gaping so wide that the translucent membranes on its cheeks, stretched taut, were visible, with thick saliva clinging to its teeth.

The dragon's majesty swept across the forest in an instant, causing scorpions, centipedes, and other small insects on the ground to fall over, while tree frogs, cicadas, and other small animals on the trees to burst open in a flash.

That was the pressure of the dragon race, the aura of a demigod-level dragon. Before that angel-level supernatural creature awakened, it was the undisputed ruler of this Mist God Hunting Ground.

Now, the monarch has discovered a challenger who can threaten it, and it will defend its throne and dignity with thunderous ruthlessness.

A surge of airflow and sound waves rushed in, and the star-blue mercury vapor surrounding Xia Fa was instantly blown backward and rippled outward.

The Mistscale Dragon cub finally got a clear look at the challenger.

It was a 3.9-meter-tall metal humanoid figure, its wrists and ankles wrapped in tranquil starlight, its eyes beneath the visor gleaming with a chilling light, its imperial majesty filling the entire world.

Ferocious, domineering, vicious, ancient, mysterious... He is like a demon god descended to earth, or a holy angel, about to bring judgment and divine punishment to the world.

The Mistscaled Dragon cub took a step back, folded all six of its wings, and involuntarily lowered its body.

In its dark golden pupils, a human-like fear was revealed, and the holy white scales on its body quickly faded to gray.

Suddenly, a large cloud of mist shot out from the single horn on its forehead. The mist flashed with cold light, like a metallic cloud, and enveloped Xia Fa directly.

Then, the Mistscaled Dragon cub turned around, its tail, as long as its body, slapped the ground, and without hesitation, used the momentum to leap out and flee in the southeast direction.

It actually ran away... ran away...

The densely shimmering mist instantly enveloped Xia Fa, making a soft "clinking" sound as it rubbed against his metallic skin.

It was indeed a metallic cloud, containing countless sharp needles.

Unfortunately, the attack couldn't even penetrate the metallic skin formed by the starlight mercury on Xia Fa, who was seated on the Starlight Silver Throne.

boom! ! !

Xia Fa stomped his foot, creating a large crater in the ground within a dozen meters, and his body shot out like a cannonball.

Whoosh—!

A large amount of star silver steam spewed out from the exhaust vent on his back, and as his speed accelerated a second time, his body flashed as if a ray of light had contracted.

Starlight Flash!

The next moment, Xia Fa's 3.9-meter-tall metallic figure appeared above the Mist Scale Dragon cub, holding the secret-unlocked horse-slaying sword in his hand, and slashed down!

Since the goal this time was to keep the Mist Scale Dragon cub alive, rather than kill it, Xia Fa did not use Silver Slash, but simply charged up and slashed out.

With a single strike, the blade pierced through the body of the Mist Scale Dragon cub without any resistance, cutting directly into the soil.

boom!!!

Within a radius of several kilometers, the earth shattered and trees collapsed. The power of Xia Fa's strike was comparable to that of a demigod!
