Chapter 570: Divine Miracle (2/2)
Looking from the outside, the inner tower was of very crude construction. However, only a few of the sect members had been in there, since only the Divine Master of each generation had access to the tower.
Inside the tower, the walls were plain and the roof was open. The sea of stars made Wang Tong feel closer to heaven than he had ever been.
The first generation Divine Master, Andres, was one of the greatest heroes of his time. The three masters: Li Feng, Rilangalos, and Andres, had led the confederation force into one after another victory when the Zergs' power was at its peak. While standing inside the tower and thinking of the brave acts of the three heroes, one would easily imagine the triumphant era when fearless human warriors marched against a sea of Zergs. The tower was the symbol of the three masters' unyielding will.
The tower stood the way it had been for centuries even after the three masters were all gone. As the Zergs grew stronger each day, what should the humans do? Who should they turn to this time?
Questions flooded into Wang Tong's mind, and he hoped that he could find an answer here. Regardless of what awaited him in the future, he was determined to continue his course until the end.
Wang Tong slowly placed his hand on a scintillating space crystal at the center of the room.
KOM!
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The ancient tower started to glow until it turned into a beacon that lit up the sky. A bell deep within the tower chimed as if it were announcing the will of the god.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
The followers of the Divine Mastery sect heard the bell: the god had spoken. They hurried to the base of the tower and started praying. Their god, Andres, had not forgotten about his followers, and had come to them when they needed his guidance.
Michaux threw his head back as he tried to control the excitement and trepidation in him. The heir of the Blade Warrior was here. 'Reverent Divine Master, your followers shall follow your footsteps and charge into the rain of fire to save humanity from destruction!'
Susu and Xiao Yuyu tried to sneak pass Michaux and enter the tower; however, they were caught by the young master immediately. As Susu was ready to plead to her brother to let her into the building, the miracle showed up.
The followers of the Divine Mastery Sect believed that once a person had cultivated enough soul energy, he or she would be able to ascend into godhood. Andres, for example, existed in every martian's heart as a god.
Lie Jian looked to the gleaming tower and wondered if this unusual phenomenon meant anything.
If Lie Jian didn't need Wang Tong to get rid of the Zergs, he would have already killed him many times over.
Everyone thought Wang Tong was the hero who saved the Mars, but they were all wrong from the beginning. There was never a hero, but only winners; and he, Lie Jian, was born to be the winner.
”My lord, should we think about it?”
”Think my a*s!”
”My lord, the god had spoken in the Divine Mastery city. Are you sure we have to do this?”
”Of course! It is a good omen! The god knew that I am destined to become the overlord of Mars, and what happened is a proof. The god was trying to send me a message! The sect should have belonged to me, even my father told me so.”
”Yes... my lord.”
”Tell the soldiers to get ready for a big fight. When I finally claim the throne, I will give each one of my boys a medic.”
Zhang Guangming let out an ugly grin. Those field medics shouldn't waste their time on the battlefield; instead, they should be healing the warriors in their beds.
Inside the light, Wang Tong couldn't feel his body at all. After some time, he saw a haughty figure appear in front of him.
It was Mr. Wannabe!
The old ghost held a serious expression and his eyes locked with Wang Tong's. Wang Tong backed away as the former closed in. Wang Tong finally understood what the gift was; it was Mr. Wannabe's memory.
Wang Tong would never know what kind of agreement Li Feng made with Andres, but he knew that it had something to do with Einherjar Wannabe.
Wang Tong had always believed that Mr. Wannabe was one of the legendary warriors of the time, whose power should be on par with Li Feng. And this development had proven him right.
But, who exactly was Mr. Wannabe?
Mr. Wannabe reached out and touched the crystal; flashes of images, each a capsule of emotions and feelings, swarmed into his head.
The girl's face that had been only a vague image in Mr. Wannabe's mind started to become clearer. She had all the traits of a cute and lovely human girl, but she was not a human at all. Nonetheless, Mr. Wannabe finally remembered that she was the love of his life.
