Death: Captain Millennium

"clang!"

There was a crisp and loud crash, and it seemed as if the entire space was shaking.

"Fuck! Is it this hard?"

Lin Yu swung his sword again, unconvinced. He couldn't believe that his full-strength blow was like striking indestructible steel. Not only did it not cause any damage, but it was actually bounced back by an extremely powerful recoil force. The recoil force quickly passed through the sword and into his hand, instantly making his palm numb.

Lin Yu gritted his teeth, raised the Ziwei Sword again, and slashed forward with all his strength. This time, the recoil force generated when the sword blade collided with the target was even more violent than before, directly knocking him back several steps.

At this moment, the four ancestors attacked at the same time, each holding a strange weapon in their hands.

The ancestor Tsunayashiro held a longbow that shone with cold light, and the bowstring was taut, as if it would shoot a fatal arrow at any time.

The founder of Ise was wielding an extremely sharp long sword, the blade flashing with a cold light, which was chilling.

The founder of Shifengyuan was holding up a peculiarly shaped scale, with strange energy fluctuations emanating from both ends of the scale.

The ancestor of the rotten wood was holding a giant scythe of death, with wisps of black smoke wrapped around the scythe, like an evil spirit from the abyss of hell.

In an instant, the four weapons burst out with four completely different forces. They intertwined and merged with each other, and finally formed an extremely huge cage, trapping Lin Yu firmly inside.

Lin Yu was trapped in a cage, his eyes fixed on the weapons in the hands of the four ancestors.

The longbow gave him a feeling of extreme danger, as if as soon as the bowstring sounded, countless sharp arrows would pierce his body.

The long sword was filled with endless fighting spirit, and every ray of sword light seemed to be able to cut through everything in the world. A breath of destruction made him feel uneasy.

As for the scale, it aroused an inexplicable fear in his heart, as if it could measure the value and destiny of all life.

The most terrifying thing is the giant scythe of death. Just by looking at it, you can feel the endless breath of death contained in it. This is the real power of death, right?

As Lin Yu carefully sensed the four forces that formed this trap, he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition. These forces were extremely powerful and coordinated with each other perfectly. It would be difficult to escape from such a predicament.

"Lin Yu, don't waste your energy. You can't break this trap."

The ancestor of the rotten wood, holding a giant death sickle, approached Lin Yu step by step. He exuded a strong breath of death, like a black cloud covering the surroundings, which made people shudder.

"I never expected that! So this is your hidden trick? Humph, where is the Shiba Ancestor? Let's make him show up! What's the point of hiding any longer?"

Lin Yu temporarily stopped his futile struggle.

Seeing that Lin Yu no longer tried to resist, the four ancestors felt relieved, gradually relaxed their originally tense nerves, and slightly reduced their vigilance against him.

"Don't waste your energy looking for him! To tell you the truth, that old guy is already dead!"

At this time, the ancestor Tsunayashiro smiled coldly. When he said this, there was an expression of indifference on his face, as if he was stating a trivial matter.

Dead...dead? How could he be dead? I always thought of the Shiba Ancestor as a deadly backup plan left by you four old guys! Now you tell me he's dead?"

After hearing this, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning.

What on earth was going on? The person he'd been imagining and describing in his mind didn't even exist! This was incredibly embarrassing! Could it be that... he'd been a complete clown all along?

"How dare you play tricks on me!"

Lin Yu was furious. He had been the sixth in command for so many years, always the one toying with others. How could he have been manipulated like he was today? At this moment, the rage in his heart burned fiercely, as if it wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes.

I wanted to reach out immediately, twist the heads of these four old guys off like twisting a rope, and then kick them away like balls!

"That's just wishful thinking on your part. We never told you that he was a backup."

The person who spoke was none other than the ancestor of the rotten wood, and he felt so happy. He had been slashed by Lin Yu before, and at that time he had been holding back a lot of anger with nowhere to vent. Now seeing Lin Yu's frustrated and helpless look, he felt so happy!

"How did he die?"

Lin Yu was very angry, but it was of no use. He was temporarily trapped and could only watch helplessly.

"Of course we killed him."

The four ancestors spoke slowly, their voices as cold as if they came from the Nine Nether Hell. They formed a circle, trapping Lin Yu in the middle, like hungry wolves surrounding a lamb to be slaughtered.

At this moment, Lin Yu was trapped in a jar, unable to escape. The four of them were confident and didn't worry about him playing any tricks.

Seeing Lin Yu's curious eyes, the corners of Tsunamidai's mouth curled up slightly. Since this guy was so curious, it would be okay to tell him about it. So he cleared his throat and began to tell the story.

"You killed him? Just because he disagreed with you?"

Lin Yu frowned and asked tentatively. He had already begun to surmise something was going on. Among the five, the Shiba Ancestor strongly opposed the dismemberment of the Soul King. Perhaps this was the cause of a fierce, yet unknown, conflict. Ultimately, the remaining four joined forces to eliminate him.

"We do have differences of opinion, but that's not the point. What's most important is that he dared to hinder our rule over the Three Realms and our march toward a broader world. Tell me, doesn't someone as ignorant of the times as him deserve death?"

Hearing Lin Yu's guess, another ancestor nodded. At this point, the ancestor became more and more excited, his eyes flashing with anger, as if he couldn't wait to kill the Zhiba ancestor again.

"A wider world?"

When he heard these words, Lin Yu's eagle-like sharp eyes instantly became solemn. With his extremely keen insight, he successfully captured this crucial information.

Had these four old men even sensed the existence of a vaster, boundless world beyond the realm of the God of Death? Common sense would have dictated that they shouldn't have such an understanding! Could it be that one of them had secretly colluded with that mysterious deity lurking in the shadows, establishing some kind of close connection?

Thinking of this, Lin Yu couldn't help but cast his eyes on the weapons in the hands of the four people - longbow, broadsword, Grim Reaper's scythe and scales.

This scene made his heart tremble violently, because these weapons were simply the iconic equipment of the legendary Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse! In an instant, a shocking thought came to his mind: Could it be that the god hidden in the depths of darkness was the famous Apocalypse?

"I guess you have already made contact with the gods from outside the realm, right?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yu took a deep breath, looked directly at the four people in front of him and spoke slowly. Although his voice was not loud, it carried an unquestionable momentum.

As soon as the words fell, the pupils of the Tsunamiyo ancestor suddenly shrank, and a look of astonishment that could not be concealed appeared on his face. Obviously, they had always believed that Lin Yu was just an ordinary death god born in the Three Realms, and they never expected that he would know such a little-known secret.

"Do you think I'm stupid? Even though I fell into your carefully designed trap, I'm still very clear-headed!"

"Look at the longbow you hold tightly in your hand. The aura it exudes clearly symbolizes the indestructible power of conquest;"

"Look at the scales held in the hands of the founder of Shihouin over there. They undoubtedly represent the dreaded famine;"

"And the long sword held tightly in the hand of the founder of Ise, its sharp edge undoubtedly symbolizes the bloody and cruel war;"

"Finally, there's the chilling Death Scythe in the hands of the Rotten Wood Ancestor. It symbolizes the end of all life."

Lin Yu recounted all this calmly and without changing his expression, as if he were telling a perfectly ordinary story. However, upon hearing these words, the hearts of the four ancestors were filled with turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

You must know that what Lin Yu said about the power they each represent is by no means a secret that can be known by people in the three realms.

Even Adnes, an ancient being who has lived in this world for a long time, may not be able to understand the mysteries contained therein.

But they were shocked to see Lin Yu in front of them reveal all this so casually.

"There's actually a god behind you?"

After hearing these words, the four ancestors who had been sitting as steady as a rock suddenly changed their expressions and could no longer maintain their composure. They stood up suddenly and looked at Lin Yu in front of them with astonishment.

You know, they took great pains to trap Lin Yu here because of the will of the mysterious and powerful god behind them.

At first, they thought that Lin Yu was just an ordinary god of death with extraordinary strength and too strong. Although his power was indeed amazing, it was still within the controllable range.

After all, with the combined strength of the four of them, plus the various powers and magic weapons bestowed by the gods behind them, it is not difficult to trap such an opponent.

However, at this moment, Lin Yu suddenly revealed such shocking news - he actually also has a god backing him up!

This sudden change was beyond the expectations of the four ancestors, leaving them at a loss for a moment.

Because before this, the almighty deity had never revealed a single iota of information to them. Now it seemed that this seemingly simple and straightforward roundup operation was far more complicated than they had imagined, and even far beyond their control.

Thinking of this, the four ancestors looked at each other in dismay, each secretly groaning inwardly. This was truly a huge joke! The mission they had thought was a sure win had suddenly turned into a difficult game full of unknown variables...

"You're not stupid!"

Lin Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at the four ancestors in front of him with a half-smile, their faces filled with horror. From their expressions at the moment, it was clear that Tianqi had not revealed too many secrets to them. Otherwise, with the shrewdness of these four people, how could they be so foolish as to believe that Lin Yu had the support of the gods?

You must know that there is no god protecting Lin Yu. The real secret lies in his inner world, and that mysterious god is none other than the Emperor Ziwei.

However, how could these four old guys easily guess this shocking secret?

"Hmph! You ignorant fellows, how dare you trap me here! Don't you know that behind me stands an incredibly powerful god? To tell you the truth, if that god knew you treated me this way, you wouldn't even have the chance to beg for mercy!"

Lin Yu straightened his body and glared at the four people in front of him with an arrogant look. Since these idiots wishfully believed that there were gods backing them, he might as well take this opportunity to scare them. Maybe he could create a good opportunity for himself to escape.

"You should know that I've been missing for several days. With that god's all-seeing abilities, he must have noticed my plight by now and is rushing to rescue me! When he arrives here, you'll all be dead!"

The more Lin Yu spoke, the more stern his voice became, as if the mysterious and powerful god was really not far away.

"Humph, you actually try to scare us with such a cheap trick? How ridiculous!"

The ancestor of Ise's eyes revealed immense contempt and disdain. His shrewd and calm mind was now exceptionally clear, as if able to see through all falsehoods and tricks.

Even if there is a powerful god behind Lin Yu who is about to descend here, the Ise ancestors are not afraid. Because there are also powerful gods behind them.

That deity would never sit idly by and watch what was happening before his eyes. Once he sensed a threat, he would definitely take action to intercept it without hesitation.

Thinking of this, the ancestor of Ise felt even more confident. He straightened his body and stared at Lin Yu with a condescending attitude, as if he had seen through the other party's little thoughts.

"Hmph! I hope the gods behind you can hold on. Some gods outside the realm are strong, some are weak. I'm afraid the god you serve is just a small fry and can't take a beating!"

Lin Yu was not willing to be outdone. When it came to momentum, he was not timid at all. Even if it was Apocalypse, he didn't believe that this little Karami was a match for Emperor Ziwei.

"It's up to you guys, clean your neck and get ready to be slaughtered!"

After saying that, Lin Yu pretended to doze off. He just wanted to scare these four old bastards to death. They dared to play dirty tricks on him. Did they really think he was made of clay?

The four ancestors looked at each other, not knowing whether what Lin Yu said was true or not, and they couldn't make up their minds for a moment.
