Chapter 1211 Seventy Percent
Indeed!
They also have a prophet here.
Based on Lin Qiye’s performance at the gathering, this representative of the God of Prophecy and Magic has demonstrated remarkably strong professional abilities, not only deceiving them but also toying with two deities… Perhaps he truly can foresee the method to subdue the treasury?
After pondering for a moment, No. 22 nodded and said:
“Thousands of years ago, there were legends in all the ancient divine kingdoms that the Hero King Gilgamesh collected five top-tier divine artifacts.
Besides this [King’s Treasury], the other four are also ‘supreme’ level divine artifacts. They are the King’s [Scepter], the King’s [Sword], the King’s [Holy Grail], and the King’s [Star Coin].
If I’m not mistaken, these four artifacts should all be inside this treasury.
If we want to subdue this [King’s Treasury] using our own power, it’s certainly unrealistic. The only breakthrough might lie in these four ‘supreme’ artifacts that are of the same level as the treasury.”
“[Scepter], [Sword], [Holy Grail], [Star Coin]?” Claude seemed to recall something. “What that old man was holding today…”
“Without a doubt, that was the King’s [Scepter].”
No. 22 stated with certainty, “The [Scepter], symbolizing ‘royal authority,’ possesses the mighty power to requisition all forces for its user. Draining our cultivation levels in the plaza today was nothing – that thing can even drain divine power from deities.
Legend has it that when Uruk was caught in the divine war, Hero King Gilgamesh used this [Scepter] to absorb the divine power of three major gods at once, elevating himself to a level infinitely close to supreme, and managed to withstand the Sumerian supreme god for nearly ten minutes.”
Hearing this, everyone present drew in a sharp breath.
Some of them had a gleam in their eyes, seemingly calculating their own schemes.
“However, the [Scepter] can only be used by specific bloodlines. Apart from the Hero King himself, probably only the direct descendants of the forging family who were sent into the treasury back then can utilize its power. Even if we seized it, we couldn’t use it at all.” No. 22’s cold reality completely extinguished these agents’ fantasies.
“What about the other three artifacts?” Lin Qiye asked curiously.
“The King’s [Sword] symbolizes slaughter. Like the [King’s Treasury], it was formed from the edges of the [Sovereign] law when the Hero King created his own laws. Since it is inherently part of the law itself, this [Sword] possesses the power to slay gods.
Even if wielded by a mortal, as long as this sword is thrust into a deity’s heart, it can slay gods.”
“The King’s [Holy Grail] symbolizes grand wishes. It’s said to be an omnipotent wishing machine – as long as enough lives are sacrificed to it, it can fulfill any wish of its holder.”
“As for the King’s [Star Coin]… there are too few records about it, so I’m not sure.”
A treasury that plunders all artifacts, a scepter that drains divine power, a sword that slays gods, an omnipotent wishing machine, and a star coin with unknown abilities… No wonder Gilgamesh was so feared by the entire Sumerian pantheon.
Lin Qiye found it difficult to imagine just how powerful Gilgamesh was at his peak.
“A [Holy Grail] that can fulfill any wish?” someone exclaimed excitedly. “If we wish upon the [Holy Grail] to subdue this treasury, would it work?”
No. 22 pondered for a moment,
“Theoretically, yes.
Both the [Holy Grail] and the [King’s Treasury] are ‘supreme’ level divine artifacts. If enough lives are sacrificed to the [Holy Grail], it might indeed be possible to subdue the [King’s Treasury] in return.”
“But where can we find so many lives in this treasury? Just the few hundred people in this city? Is that enough?”
“Probably not.” No. 22 shook his head. “If a few hundred human lives were enough to control the [King’s Treasury], Uruk would have dominated the world long ago.”
Everyone fell silent again.
The hope of subduing the [King’s Treasury] had appeared briefly, only to vanish.
“Regardless, this is a direction, which is better than having no hope at all,” said Claude, the Thunder God’s agent.
“Perhaps we can try a different approach?” Lin Qiye, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
“Since we can’t subdue the treasury and can’t fulfill the deities’ requirements, what if… we gather these four ‘supreme’ artifacts and directly kill those two gods?”
This statement struck like lightning, thundering in the ears of all the agents!
Directly kill gods?!
Everyone was shocked at first, then immediately began to calculate carefully.
“With that [Sword] possessing the power to slay gods, it’s not impossible…”
“Hermes and Hephaestus, though major gods, aren’t top-tier in combat ability. With four ‘supreme’ artifacts plus all of us, we might actually have a chance of winning?”
“Anyone can use the [Sword], the [Star Coin]’s abilities are currently unknown, and for the [Holy Grail]’s wish, we could slaughter the city first and use these few hundred people as sacrifices before leaving… but what about the [Scepter]?”
“Perhaps we could find an opportunity to steal the [Scepter], then capture someone of direct lineage and force them to leave with us.”
“There are so many other artifacts in this treasury, we could pick a few more useful ones…”
Everyone began discussing, one after another, growing increasingly excited as they seemed to see the dawn of victory.
A fleeting smile crossed Lin Qiye’s eyes before he said seriously, “I’m just suggesting a possibility. This approach is too dangerous.”
“Myles, don’t you have the power of prophecy? Can you foresee how likely we are to succeed?” Prakash, the Vishnu agent, asked proactively.
“Well… as you know, prophecy is very draining on the spirit. Excessive prophecy can lead to hair loss, so I usually only make one prophecy per day. I’ve already prophesied your arrival today, so…” Lin Qiye spoke with some reluctance.
“Mr. Myles, this matter concerns all our lives. Please make an exception this once!” Claude sincerely requested.
“Yes, this prophecy is crucial for our next plan. Please prophesy once more.”
“Mr. Myles, please.”
“…”
Under the eager gazes of all the agents, Lin Qiye frowned in hesitation for a long time before finally sighing and reluctantly saying:
“Very well, I’ll make an exception and prophesy once more today.”
Lin Qiye pushed up his monocle and walked to the center of the room. Everyone immediately backed away, preferring to crowd together rather than not give him enough space.
Lin Qiye sat down and made a show of taking out the crystal ball he had picked up that afternoon, solemnly placing it on the ground.
He raised his fingertips slightly, and dazzling magical patterns radiated from him as the center.
Lin Qiye sat in the middle of the magic array, his profound eyes gazing at the crystal ball as mysterious halos flowed around him, mesmerizing everyone.
The agents crowded in the corner of the room, curiously watching this scene, hardly daring to breathe.
Finally, the magical light gradually receded, and Lin Qiye stood up holding the crystal ball.
His gaze swept across everyone,
And he stated with certainty:
“The chance of success… is seventy percent!”
