I'm not just human!

Soon, he felt the glowing sphere representing his mind rapidly sink and fall into his body.

Xia Fa opened his eyes and saw that the yellow crystal on the mahogany table, though not exploded, was damaged and lay helplessly to the side.

Fortunately, only a small portion of the live iron powder that had been scattered throughout the bedroom was gone.

Xia Fa immediately took out the second citrine he had bought earlier and used the same trick again, engraving the secret text on a piece of cast iron.

This time, the inscriptions he carved were quite complex, numbering more than thirty.

After all, he was a demigod being divined by an insect-level superhuman, so he had to be well prepared.

Once the engraving was complete, the last secret inscription made of iron powder pierced through the iron sheet and sank into the citrine.

Just then, something happened that completely astonished Xia Fa!

Chapter 100 Beast

boom! ! !

Without any warning or indication, the citrine shattered right in front of Xia Fa.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, spitting out the sharp shards of the citrine the instant they flew toward him.

Since signing the supreme-level secret contract of the Silver Throne, the "Mystic Living Silver" that had been circulating in his body along with his blood was spat out in a small clump. The moment this Mystic Living Silver left his mouth and teeth, it immediately turned pale red, becoming "Red Silver."

When the citrine shard was a few centimeters away from the red silver, it became sluggish at high speed, as if it had pierced into invisible, tough leather, and could not advance any further.

In the blink of an eye, the kinetic energy from the explosion dissipated, and the yellow crystal shards fell helplessly to the ground, making a clinking sound.

Xiafa opened his mouth and inhaled, and the red silver was transformed back into mystical living silver, seeping into his blood vessels along his throat.

Recalling what had just happened, he couldn't help but marvel at how incredibly useful the Silver Throne was as a supreme-level secret contract.

In the instant that crisis occurred, there was simply no time to mobilize the extraordinary power within his body, convert it into elemental power, and then generate a shield made of metal or stone. After all, he only had less than 0.1 seconds to react.

Only the mystical living silver in his blood vessels, obtained through signing the Silver Throne agreement, could be instantly expelled by him, transforming into red silver to block the attack.

This reminded Xia Fa of the next overlord-level secret agreement he could sign: the Gate of Stars.

If the Silver Throne is so useful, what about the Star Gate?

Thinking of the Gate of Stars, he immediately thought of the unknown object that Dick had asked for, and the demigod Pompeii who currently possessed that unknown object.

Xia Fa did not give up despite the explosion of the citrine, and immediately took out a third citrine.

However, he was starting to have some trouble.

Clearly, it's impossible for someone who's currently only an insect-level superhuman to try and divine the fate of a demigod.

In addition to the basic secret texts needed for divination of demigods, he also engraved Pompeii's full name, as well as the names of Pompeii's father and son, and even the names of Pompeii's deceased brothers and sisters in secret texts in order to make the divination as accurate as possible.

In this situation, the accuracy of divination can be greatly improved.

But Xia Fa never expected that the citrine would explode!

"What should I do..."

He pondered, holding the citrine between his index finger and thumb, and gently turning it.

Perhaps because he wanted to divine the fate of a demigod, he suddenly recalled the first time he encountered a demigod, namely Chestnut's grandfather, Tyrean.

"Have it!"

A light shone in Xia Fa's eyes.

When Tyrene emerged from the ritual circle, his demigod status brought immense pressure to everyone present, including himself.

That was the first time a strange electric current appeared at his coccyx, covering his cerebral cortex and directly counteracting the oppressive feeling.

Now... could we fuse that strange electric current into the iron powder and use it for divination?

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Excitedly, Xia Fa took out another piece of cast iron and placed it on the citrine.

He tried to recall his past experiences with various high-ranking beings, attempting to summon a strange current.

Unexpectedly, he actually succeeded. But when he recalled the beheaded Outer God kneeling before the Gate of Ancient Mithril, a strange current actually shot out from his spine.

But that's all he has left; he can't mobilize any more at the moment.

However, this was already enough to surprise Xia Fa. He immediately and carefully controlled the strange current, letting it travel up the spine to the hand bones, and then along the hand bones all the way to the finger bones.

Then, he stabilized the strange current, picked up a wisp of live iron powder with his other hand, and began to inject extraordinary power into it, re-inscribing the secret text needed to divine Pompeii, the demigod.

Soon, all thirty inscriptions were completed, leaving only the last one representing Pompeii's name.

Xia Fa then switched hands, picking up the iron powder as well, and tried to force out the strange current and fuse it with the iron powder.

During the process, his breathing became shallow, and his heart pounded, fearing that something might go wrong.

There was no way around it. Ever since he learned that a demigod was behind the Snow Demon's second loss of control, Xia Fa had realized that regardless of whether Pompeii had been watching him before, they were definitely watching him now.

After all, Pompeii's initial plan was to lure away Lieutenant General Bedivere, then have the Snow Demon, which had gone out of control for the second time, descend outside Daniel Street, devour all the superhumans, including himself and even Chestnut Glenn Ellis, and then devour tens of thousands of people in several nearby blocks.

However, the snow demon that went out of control twice was killed by him with a single blow from Baal's Blade, which was tantamount to ruining Pompeii's long-planned scheme.

Xia Fa had no doubt that Pompey had only treated him as a stranger before, but after that incident, he must have already been thinking about killing him, but for some reason, he hadn't made a move yet.

Therefore, we must strike first!

If all else fails, after finding Pompeii, you can report it to the three demigods, Tyrene, Bedivere, and Axor.

With all three being demigods, how could they possibly lose against one?

However, he figured that if he did that, he wouldn't be able to get the item that Dictator wanted from Pompeii. So, Xia Fa decided to gather information about Pompeii first and then proceed slowly.

For example, after finding out what he really wanted to do, he would lure him into a trap, seriously injure him, and then come out to clean up the mess. He had already come up with hundreds of similar plans.

You don't necessarily have to wait until you become a demigod to kill Pompeii; you can do it now, provided you severely injure Pompeii.

Suddenly, Xia Fa felt a slight tingling sensation in his fingertips.

The next moment, he was surprised to find that the strange electric current really shot out and merged into the iron powder on his fingertips!

The iron powder underwent a transformation, changing from a shiny silver-gray to a dazzling pure gold. It then formed secret runes, permeated the iron sheet, and merged into the citrine.

Before Xia Fa could observe the changes closely, the yellow crystal trembled and suddenly transformed into a manor.

He himself transformed once again into a luminous sphere.

Xia Fa understood that the changes in the citrine were an illusion, but this meant... his divination had succeeded!

As an insect-level superhuman who had only signed two secret contracts, I actually managed to divine the existence of a demigod!

He felt as if he were actually in the manor, yet also as if separated from reality by countless layers of illusory curtains and mist.

Moreover, judging from the position of the sun in the sky, this must have happened several hours ago.

Suddenly, he felt himself, a glowing sphere, begin to fall straight down, crashing into a place deep underground where the manor was located.

It was a basement, which, according to his estimate, was almost two hundred meters below the surface.

Then, he saw Pompeii's figure in the basement for the first time.

And there were hundreds of corpses lying haphazardly on the ground at the foot of Pompeii.

Chapter 101 The Silver Throne, Displaying its Power for the First Time!

The luminous sphere that Xia Fa had transformed into was now clearly visible.

The corpses were all ragged, emaciated, and some even had their ribs clearly visible beneath their skin.

Just like him before he started exercising.

Perhaps it was because of the secret text of the living iron powder formed by the strange electric current, but Xia Fa could see it exceptionally clearly, even though it was divination, as if he were watching an extremely high-definition movie, or even feeling as if he were in the middle of it.

These refugees included both men and women, all over twenty years old, but none over fifty.

Hundreds of refugees died just like that, lying on the cold, gray marble floor tiles of the basement.

Pompeii sat in a chair inlaid with gold thread, which even had velvet cushions on the seat and back, making him quite comfortable.

On either side of the chair stood a middle-aged man with a large belly and a chubby boy with an arrogant air about him.

Almost without needing to identify them, Xia Fa immediately recognized that they were the current Bald family elder and younger Bald.

This was not only because Baldr and Baldr both looked very much like Pompeii, almost like they were cut from the same mold, but also because of the guidance he received from his spiritual intuition.

When he performed the divination, he had engraved a secret text containing the names and general information of Old Bald and Young Bald, so now that he sees it, he can naturally recognize them.

This scene confirmed Xia Fa's suspicions: Old Bald and Young Bald were indeed connected to the Snow Demon's second loss of control!

Back then, Little Baldr was inexplicably entangled by the Snow Demon, and then borrowed the Mithril Holy Symbol, deliberately returning it a day late. Now it seems that this was probably to coordinate with the Snow Demon's second out-of-control descent, so that the Snow Demon could devour the ordinary people in several blocks near Daniel Street.

Moreover, the three members of the Bald family, grandfather, grandfather, and grandson, had planned this matter quite meticulously.

Initially, when the Snow Demon descended twice out of control, everyone would suspect Bald and his son, especially young Bald who was suddenly entangled by the Snow Demon and seemed to deliberately delay returning the Mithril Holy Symbol by one day.

This is the first floor.

However, Tyrene and Lieutenant General Bedivet quickly figured out the general situation and realized that Baldr had not intentionally returned the Mithril Emblem late, but that the Mithril Emblem was already damaged when it was handed to him.

Therefore, everyone naturally understood that Little Bald had to return the Mithril Emblem a day later because he had followed the procedure and sunbathed for a full hour, but was still troubled by the small, frigid zone at night. For his safety, he had to return the Mithril Emblem a day later.

More importantly, on the surface, if the second outbreak of the Snow Demon's rampage was indeed related to the Bald family, anyone with a modicum of intelligence would understand that they shouldn't have deliberately triggered the Snow Demon's second rampage just one day after returning the Mithril Emblem.

That would be too easy to arouse suspicion.

If you follow this line of thought, most people would believe that the Bald family is innocent and that the conspirators behind the scenes are deliberately shifting suspicion onto the innocent Bald father and son.

In this way, the Baldr family was clearly exonerated.

This is the second layer.

Xia Fa understood that Pompey was taking advantage of the fact that the clever people in the church thought "things can't be done so obviously, and doubts can't be so obvious," and was blatantly letting the Baldr family carry out his plans.

Fortunately, now that I'm on the third level, I have a complete and thorough understanding of Pompeii's initial plans.

Looking at the hundreds of refugee corpses on the ground, and thinking of Pompeii's meticulous plan, Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine, and at the same time, an uncontrollable anger rose within him.

During this period, a large number of refugees poured into Rum and two other small towns, and many even entered Augustus.

In this situation, if one or two refugees die every day, no one will even notice.

Even the city's security guards would push cartloads of corpses of refugees who had starved or died of disease outside the city every day to be burned.
