Chapter 209: I’m Threatening You

However, neither was the reason that Atlantis had stopped attacking the human race.

The real reason was the water pressure.

Atlantis had been trapped at the bottom of the ocean because of the water pressure. That wasn’t exactly correct. They could live in shallow waters as well, but they couldn’t leave the ocean.

The magnetic fields of Atlantis and the moon weren’t compatible. As long as the moon existed, they had to stay in the ocean.

That was why the Atlanteans suddenly showed up when the moon flew away.

“What have you tried?” asked Roams.

A robot handed him some files. On them were over 700 types of tortures.

Electrocution.

Bombardment.

Knives.

Saws.

Hydraulic press machines.

Sulphuric acid.

Alkali solutions.

…

They had tried everything, using both physical and chemical agents. However, Himmel Soan’s body was impregnable.

Nothing worked on him.

They tried to crush Himmel Soan with the hydraulic press, but the machine overheated and still couldn’t leave a dent on him.

Pouring chili water down his nose didn’t affect him.

They poured sulphuric acid into his eyes, and he still wasn’t injured.

As for things like electrocution and chainsaws, they were futile as well.

“What kind of a creature is this man? Is he from the sixth or the seventh age? Is everybody of the seventh age like this? He said he was using divine power. Does that even exist?”

A scientist asked, “Mr. Roams, what should we do now?”

“How am I supposed to know? You sound like that idiot Kabaron! Stop asking questions, and use your own brain!”

After scolding the scientist, Roams remembered the space cannon.

“Where are we on the artificial moon? Can you bring it down? How high up can Atlantis rise in the ocean?”

The scientist said, “We can’t. We’ve tried several approaches, but the artificial moon seems intangible. Our cannons went through it as if it was only a shadow. Atlantis can only rise to the depth of 42,121m, the same as when the old moon was there. We can’t leave the deep waters.”

Roams frowned. “A shadow? Are you saying the moon doesn’t exist?”

“It exists, but it feels like a lump of gas. We can see it, but we can’t touch it!”

Of course, they couldn’t. The moon was made from Himmel Soan’s spiritual essence and mental force.

They couldn’t touch it no matter what they did.

“I see. Go back to your work.”

Roams’s face darkened. Things were back to square one. Atlantis was still confined to the bottom of the ocean.

The only difference was they had caught Himmel Soan, along with hundreds of millions of fishmen. However, the fishmen meant little to him now, nor could he control them.

That was because Himmel Soan had destroyed the transmitters floating in the sea.

It was extremely difficult for the Atlanteans to go up to the surface. It was like sending men to the moon.

Building the transmitters was easy, but it took time to send them to the surface.

It wouldn’t be infinitely long though. The new transmitters would be ready in two to three months.

There was an inexplicable phenomenon in Atlantis at the moment. At first, people didn’t think much of it and assumed it to be a trick of the light.

However, it got worse, and Atlantis had to look into it.

A strange type of energy appeared outside the dome and wrapped around the entire Atlantis like an eggshell.

The Atlanteans began to have difficulty coming in and out of Atlantis.

The cause remained unknown.

If they didn’t do something about it, the shell could seal up Atlantis eventually.

Roams suspected it to be Himmel Soan’s doing, but he wasn’t sure. He had imprisoned Himmel Soan. The man was naked, and his hands and feet were all chained.

How could he do anything in such a state?

He would have to have some divine power to lock Atlantis down now.

If that were the case, Roams wouldn’t mind kneeling at his feet.

“Mr. Soan, how have you been in the past month?” Roams came to visit Himmel Soan.

Himmel Soan was in a terrible state. He had recovered much spiritual essence in the past month and shouldn’t have been so weak.

However, he had spent that spiritual essence on building the shell.

Yes!

He had built a shell around Atlantis.

As he injected more spiritual essence into that shell, it would become more apparent and more durable.

In the end, no Atlantean would be able to leave. They would all be trapped here.

Even the plasma cannon couldn’t break the shell.

Himmel Soan looked up and smiled. “I’m doing just fine. The environment here is much better than Moon, and I like clean places. Even my prison cell is neat, and there’s always someone around. I’m not lonely at all.”

Roams sat down at the interrogation table. “Mr. Soan, answer me. Where are you from? Which age do you belong to?”

Himmel Soan chuckled. “Knowing the answer won’t help you at all. Let me remind you. When I recover, you’re all going to die. I’ll need at most six months.”

He only needed 0.01% of his power to wipe out Atlantis. Before that, he had to make sure that Atlantis couldn’t attack the human race.

Even when Neige was around, the human race couldn’t fight off the Atlanteans, let alone now.

Once Atlantis attacked, the human race would be doomed. That was why he used the spiritual essence he had recovered to build the shell.

Since he wasn’t going to die, it would only be a matter of time before he destroyed Atlantis. Apart from the fishmen, Drake and the others should be able to take care of the other matters.

He wasn’t in a hurry.

After destroying Atlantis, the moon would disappear soon. He needed to open the portal as soon as he got out.

He should have enough time.

“Mr. Soan, are you threatening me?” Roams was displeased.

“Yes, I am!” Himmel Soan smiled.
