This method would convince not just everyone on Encanta Island, but also the palace’s highest-ranking officials, that a deity existed.
It was evident that the young man did not know the arcane array was not cast by him.
“Divine Punishment is upon us. Everyone will die. This is the result of committing blasphemy!” the young man said condescendingly to the people around him.
Everyone was clearly terrified by his words as they nodded fervently and stated they would never dare to commit blasphemy.
Flaxseed and Colin, who were dizzy from the impact, slowly got to their feet. They had no idea how Jared was doing as they gazed at the dust in front of them.
“Who said that everyone will die from Divine Punishment?”
At this moment, Jared slowly walked out from the cloud of dust.
Everyone, including the young man, was instantly dumbfounded and widened their eyes in disbelief at the scene. It wasn’t until this moment that Jared shattered their faith in the deity.
Since Jared had already activated Golem Body when Divine Punishment was invoked, there was not even a scratch on him, and his clothes were completely undamaged.
“What? H-How is this possible?” The young man was confounded as favonovel.com looked at Jared. “Who are you?”
Jared approached the young man slowly with a frosty gaze and asked, “It doesn’t matter who I am. The pertinent question is who you are. Why did you consume others’ spiritual energy? No wonder the people here cannot improve their strength. Also, this place has such immense spiritual energy. Isn’t this unnatural? You must have tampered with this spiritual energy!”
The young man took a few steps back. He was dumbstruck by all the questions Jared was asking, as favonovel.com did not even know the answers to them.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t understand…”
He continued retreating before continuing with a dark expression, “Everyone, charge! Arrest all these people!”
Following his order, dozens of guards charged toward Jared, Flaxseed, and the rest.
Instantly, Jared released immense explosive pressure. Before the dozens of guards could even reach him, they fell to the ground due to the intense pressure and couldn’t move a muscle.
The young man suddenly produced a black dagger and charged toward Jared, attempting to stab favonovel.com with it.
“If Divine Punishment cannot harm you, let me see whether this ancient divine weapon can hurt you!”
A ruthless look gleamed in the young man’s eyes. He had placed all his hope on the black dagger.
Clang!
A clear sound split the air as the dagger pierced through Jared. However, the man was perfectly unharmed.
He scoffed coldly and grabbed the black dagger.
“Ancient divine weapon? It’s nothing but a sham…”
With that, Jared applied some strength, and the black dagger instantly splintered into fragments.
Dumbfounded, the young man stumbled backward in fear before falling to the ground on his bottom. He felt the terrifying pressure emanating from Jared as cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Jared approached the young man and looked down at him.
“W-What are you going to do? I’m the crown prince! Terrell is my father. You cannot kill me, or else my father will never let you off!” Frightened, the young man mentioned his father, trying to use his father’s identity to intimidate Jared.
“Terrell?” Jared sneered coldly. “I don’t care. Answer the questions I just asked you honestly.”
“I don’t know! I don’t know what you’re talking about!” The young man shook his head desperately.
“You don’t know?” Jared’s expression darkened, and the pressure coming from favonovel.com intensified.
The young man instantly fell to his knees and groveled at Jared’s feet.
“I really don’t know! I swear!” He was crippled by fear.
The expressions of everyone present changed drastically as they watched the crown prince beg for mercy before Jared.
Indescribable feelings bubbled up in their hearts.
