The massive city gate was incredibly heavy, and after tens of thousands of years, its bearings had likely already rotted away.
To ensure safety and minimize environmental impact, the nano-cutting machine was restarted.
In a short while, a small opening was cut into the city gate, allowing only one person to pass through, thus officially revealing the interior to the crowd.
Upon entering the city gate, the interior was enough to send chills down one's spine.
The entire interior of the Holy Lord City is a one-to-one replica of the former Holy Lord City Monastery of the Papal State. The first thing you see is dark streets and dark houses on both sides.
Not only that, the streets were filled with people, and everywhere there were mummies disguised as ordinary people, some standing, some kneeling, and some in various poses.
The entire city was like a desolate ghost town, making one's mind go blank just by looking at it.
As the lights illuminated the city, what stood out most was not the desolate city itself, but the tallest spire of the monastery in the city center.
No, it is not a spire, but a throne more than two hundred meters high, built up step by step!
The majestic throne, standing over two hundred meters tall, stands in the very center of the city.
It's unbelievable that such a massive structure could exist so deep underground.
Even more unbelievable is the accompanying illumination of lights.
Huge figures suddenly appeared on the majestic throne.
Made of stone, the bat-shaped stone sculptures, which are over ten meters tall, are placed on the spire in various poses.
Some cling to the throne, climbing upwards. Others sit cross-legged on the steps surrounding the throne. Still others stand on either side of the throne, like gatekeepers.
Upon careful counting, there were actually as many as twenty-three stone statues of various sizes.
"This... this is Gargoyle? The Vampire Prince described in ancient mythology, the Vampire True Ancestor?" Several professors were extremely excited, some even running around.
Benny frowned and waved for the soldiers behind him to bring the professors back.
"The road ahead might be dangerous; let me check it out first!"
Benny was under immense pressure, even feeling a pressure far more terrifying than before sweeping over him.
But facing the live camera and the powerful figures behind him, Benny's veins bulged. He was determined to demonstrate his power in front of these powerful people in order to gain the opportunity to join them!
Having said that, Benny took the lead and walked towards the majestic throne.
The professors hurriedly followed, but they could never catch up with Benny, who was using power-assisted technology.
Upon closer inspection, the tower, over two hundred meters high, was indeed a throne constructed from layers of steps.
Even the entire throne appears to be made of silver!
This scene greatly shocked the professors.
"That's not right! Historical records clearly state that Vampire fear silver, especially True Ancestor, for whom silver is the only thing they fear. So why is this throne made of silver?"
"That's impossible! The Pale God is a Vampire too; he couldn't possibly be sitting on the Silver Throne!"
"Hmph, why don't we go up and see for ourselves?" Hearing the professors' doubts, Benny snorted and took the lead in stepping onto the throne!
Despite his seemingly domineering and invincible appearance, Benny was actually on the verge of testicular atrophy at this very moment.
But he is Benny, and he has to bite the bullet and be the first to ascend this ancient throne that everyone is watching!
Such empty fame seems to be of concern only to Benny.
Everyone else, whether it was the professor, his seven teammates, the intelligent robots, or the soldiers, were all looking around.
"There are more words here, let me take a look." The professor's voice came from behind.
Benny had already stepped onto the stairs.
Because of leg weakness, they even had to use a spinal support.
"I am Abraham, the Vampire True Ancestor. This Holy Lord City was forged by me for Your Majesty."
Benny had already taken nearly ten steps.
"Since the War of the Gods' Fall, Your Majesty has disappeared, but all of us who are created have survived, so I know that Your Majesty will eventually return."
To welcome Your Majesty's return, I have mobilized 100,000 Vampire, built an underground city, gathered 100,000 servants, and forged the supreme throne!
The professor's translation could be heard from afar. Benny had already crossed half the distance.
Upon hearing the professor's translation, his initial nervousness inexplicably transformed into a unique kind of anticipation.
He had a feeling that he wasn't exploring ancient ruins, but rather returning to his own throne!
This realization made him suddenly understand.
No wonder Benny is the only S-class warrior, no wonder Benny's so invincible, no wonder Benny's here now.
Is Benny the reincarnation of that ancient god, who will finally return to his rightful throne?
The shadow in Benny's heart had been cast aside, and the pressure from before had now transformed into motivation, propelling Benny to climb even faster.
I can't wait to reach the top.
He could already imagine himself, in the live stream right now, with Benny unwavering back pointing straight up, moving forward with determination!
"Your Majesty will eventually return; this is the destiny of humankind."
Therefore, I presume to use this lofty dignity to wash away Your Majesty's wrath.
Benny was almost at the top, and for some reason, hearing the professor's words, he felt his heart begin to burn with rage.
Even from his height, he could see the towering and exquisite back of the silver throne at the very top, carved with Vampire and bat motifs that, though grotesque, exuded sublime luxury.
There were even two stone statues standing on the left and right, as if welcoming the king's return!
"If any future visitor accidentally stumbles upon this place and the throne is unoccupied, please leave immediately to avoid desecrating His Majesty's sanctity."
Benny's nostrils started flaring, his scalp tingled, and he felt that he was finally facing his destiny!
"If the throne is claimed, then we will return... Garden of Eden, welcome your fate of seeking your own destiny..."
Benny has already ascended the platform!
The pure silver throne was finally clearly revealed to him.
The pure silver throne, which had undergone some unknown treatment, remained pure white and translucent even after ten thousand years of decay, exuding an aura of sublimity and holiness.
Her long, silver hair cascaded down the throne, spreading out around her, further highlighting the boundless holiness and perfection of the slender, tall figure who sat quietly upon the pure silver throne.
He sat there quietly on the throne, as if he had been there from the beginning, eternally holy and unchanging.
Benny's once fiery blood has now turned cold.
Before fear could even surface, a questioning voice came from below.
"Mr. Benny, is there really a throne up there? Or is there a mummified corpse on the throne?"
The sound broke Mr. Benny's dazed state, but it also finally brought out the fear deep within him.
Such immense shock, even a mere second of reaction was enough to feel like the sky had fallen and the earth had collapsed in one's heart.
But at the same time, the sound broke a strange silence.
Her eyes, which had been tightly closed with pure white eyelids, seemed to be disturbed by the sound and suddenly opened slowly.
A pair of gilded eyes focused on the body that stood on the steps, trembling like a fool.
The next moment, Benny melted away like black water.
