Chapter 477: Lucifer\'s whereabouts
The Royal City of the Divine Empire had many beautiful structures, most of which looked to be from a bygone era even though they were created not long ago.
There were many buildings that were similar to what the outside world possessed, including the Libraries, Theatres, and playgrounds.
There was also one colosseum for battles like the ones that were taking place at the moment between the strongest of the Warriors of Divine Empire.
Most of the Royal City citizens had gone to the arena. While quite a lot of them had managed to get entry into the Colosseum, there was a loud crowd that was outside the arena, only hearing the cheers and the results of the battles that were declared outside as well.
In fact, it could be said that most of the Royal City were completely empty at the moment except for the area near the Colosseum.
Not a single person could be seen anywhere else. There were still some guards left outside that were guarding the Royal Palace.
As most of the city was destroyed in the Last war of the Empires, all the structures were newly built since most of everything was destroyed once upon a time during that war.
There was only one structure that was left standing there at that time. It was also the structure that wasn\'t modified either.
In fact, it wasn\'t wrong to say that the enemy Empires had destroyed all the buildings in the Divine Empire when they attacked this place, leaving only that one building for some reason.
As for why this one place was left standing, no one had any idea. All people knew was that the Arian Empire was the one that was attacking this area, led by their Prince.
Even though many didn\'t know why the place was left standing, there were some guesses that it was because the Arian Prince was a religious person. He was tired after destroying so many temples and religious places, so he decided to leave this one temple standing in the end before going back.
That one theory gained much traction during these years, making people believe that it was correct. In any case, no one had a way to verify the theory.
The temple was made on the North Side of the Royal City by the first Divine Emperor. At the time, anyone was allowed to go inside the Divine Temple, but the rules soon changed as more and more temples started being made.
As more than one Temple existed, later on, It was decided that only the Royal Family would be allowed to enter this one while the other Temples would remain open for everyone else.
Unfortunately, it was now the only Temple standing as others were destroyed. Even after the Divine Empire was re-established and many buildings were reconstructed, the temples were a different case.
No other Temples were made in that time, leaving only this one Ancient Temple in the entire Divine Empire. Still, no one other than Royal Family members was allowed to enter this place.
Even the High Lords and the Nobles weren\'t allowed to enter this place.
The massive temple was spread over two acres of land, covering a vast land. It was also fifty meters tall, with each floor having a height of over three meters.
The entire temple was made from the most expensive of materials. The outside was made from beautiful blue marble, which were further painted to give it an even better look.
Throughout all these years, the paint had worn off to reveal the beautiful blue of the marble.
The temple had no windows and only one door which could have been used to enter.
The twenty foot tall door was made entirely from gold. Unfortunately, there was a lock placed on the door.
Dust and webs had started collecting on the lock as if it hadn\'t been touched in decades.
Even a tiny spider could be seen crawling on the lock.
Looking at the lock, anyone could have guessed that not a single person had entered the temple, especially after knowing that there were no other doors or windows. Unfortunately, that wasn\'t the case.
Inside the temple, there was one person and only one person.
It was a young silver-haired man who looked like he was barely eighteen years old.
The young man was lying on some unknown floor, not moving at all. His eyes were closed while his face remained pale.
The man was dressed in a green cloak which wasn\'t removed.
Except for him, there was no one else in the room. And for some strange reason, there wasn\'t any door in the room either, making it even stranger.
If there was no entrance and exit in this room, then how was the man able to enter here? Moreover, that wasn\'t the weirdest thing about this place either.
What was even weirder was the place where the young man was lying.
On the ground under him, a formation circle could be seen, which was red. It felt like it was made using blood, and it still looked fresh
Some weird characters were carved inside the formation circle as well, which was completely unreadable.
Unfortunately, that also wasn\'t the extent of the weirdness here. There was also a statue here. And that statue was the same as the statue which was in Milena\'s basement.
It was a statue of a headless chubby being that had a face protruding out of his stomach. Moreover, that being had more than one hand on both sides—one having two hands while the other having three hands.
However, unlike the statue in Milena\'s room, this statue\'s hands weren\'t empty.
There was one thing in each of its hands. One of his hands was holding a stone sword which had one of the strange symbols that were carved on the formation under the young man.
Another hand of his was holding what appeared to be a scroll. Unfortunately, it was also made of stone, so it was impossible to be opened. But that scroll also had a symbol that was carved on the blood formation in the ground.
The third hand was holding a decapitated head of what appeared to be a horned bear. That head was also made from stone though.
The stone bear head also had a symbol on his forehead, which was carved on the formation under the young boy.
Each of the bear\'s horns also had one unreadable symbol, which was carved on the formation as well.
The fourth hand was holding something even weirder in this place.
Each of the statue\'s hands was holding one thing and the fourth hand wasn\'t an exception.
