The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 562

Alba returned to the stage to continue the auction. As the second phase began, items were pushed onto the stage one by one. The treasure was clearly better than the one in the first phase. The initial price also doubled. Not to mention the final price, some even went up four or five times.

Under the stage, David finally became interested. He casually bid three items and spent nearly 300 billion Star Dollars. At the end of the auction, he would earn 3000 luxury points after the transaction was completed. This was still very far from his goal of coming to the auction. David wanted to bid a few more, but if he did this, it would be too conspicuous. Even if he had only bid three, he had already attracted the attention of many people.

Fortunately, Archimedes bid on more than ten items at a time during the first phase, so he was already the center of attention. Therefore, David did not stand out too much after bidding on three items.

During the second phase, Archimedes only bid once, which made Alba very relaxed. The Fellowes family is not in a position to conflict with the Lightfoot family right now. Judging from Grandpa Val's actions, he would definitely demand an explanation from the Lightfoot family if Archimedes did not stop.

They are all in this area, so if you can create problems in my area, I can do the same in your area. In the end, both sides will suffer, allowing others to benefit from their suffering. Because Archimedes stopped in time, and the Fellowes' family pretended not to have seen anything before.

At most, they would take more treasures. Fellowes' families were able to sacrifice something very small. After all, the items during the first phase were not so valuable. If Archimedes continues to do what he did during the second and third phases, the Fellowes' family will be hostile towards them. If that happens, both sides will suffer.

Even if the Lightfoot family were to take advantage of them, they would also suffer. Initially there were only about 20 items during the second phase. After Archimedes quit, Valerio asked them to add another 10 at the last minute. That means 30 items were sold during the second phase.

David got 3, Archimedes got 1, and the remaining 27 were divided among the other guests. This was more in line with Treasure Trove's original purpose of holding this auction. This is a situation where everyone will be happy. Soon, the third phase that everyone was waiting for arrived. It is also an ******** from the auction.

Alba cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, “Friends, the third stage auction is about to begin. This is also the last stage of the offer. I believe you can't wait anymore. Everything that comes next is so valuable that you should all check if you have enough money in your pocket."

After he said that, someone below the stage said, “Nona Fellowes, hurry up! We can't wait anymore. I'm not bidding now because I'm waiting for this moment. I want to bring home one of the valuables you mentioned!”

“Yes, Miss Fellowes, stop making us nervous! Although the treasure earlier was not bad, it was only valuable to certain people. They were not enough to make us want to take them home even though it would bankrupt us. I hope the next treasure will not disappoint us.”

“We are waiting for the last item to appear.”

“I am too!”

“I am too!”

The guests below the stage started to make a fuss. No matter who the auction host was, the last item would be the most valuable. Many people come just for this. The previous item was just appetizers. Only that little family would bid for them. The main force would not be bothered by the treasure. All they needed was the treasure that Alba mentioned. Now that they were at a critical moment, they could not wait any longer.

“Don't worry, since I told you it's worth it, I won't let you down. Treasure Trove put in a lot of money for these items. Next, please welcome our staff to bring the first treasure onto the stage."

After Alba said that, someone pushed the first item. It was still covered by a red cloth. Everyone below the stage stared at him fixedly. Alba walked in front of the treasure and pulled the tip of the red cloth. The whole scene was silent. One could even hear heavy breathing in the crowd. David's eyes shone as he stared straight at the stage as well. This treasure would determine if he could spend the remaining 900 billion Star Dollars to achieve his goal.

Even if this treasure was not good enough, the next one would definitely be better. Alba pulled the end of the cloth but she did not reveal the item for a long time, making everyone uneasy.

When it was time, Alba quickly pulled the red cloth over the treasure. An iron hammer that shone with a blue light appeared in front of everyone. Inside the blue light was a flash of lightning.

‘What is it... hammer?’

Alba started to introduce him. “Do not blink. It's. um. But this is no ordinary hammer. It was an intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapon. At the same time, it was the highest level among intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapons. Just one more step to becoming a high-level Soulbound Weapon. His name is Hammer of Thunder! Hammer of Thunder was a maximum intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapon. It was extremely powerful, and was made from the Thunder Heart Stone refined by Heavenly Thunder. It has extremely strong thunder and lightning attributes. Every time you fight an enemy, thunder and lightning will come out together with just a hammer blow. Your enemy won't be able to fight, and the attacking range is flexible. If you use it in a long-range attack, it will only display more hammer power. According to historical records, an expert master used the Hammer of Thunder to destroy the continent with just one strike, causing countless casualties. You can imagine how powerful this weapon was, and this must be a rare item. Imagine this, if you were to release the Eternal Golden Body and you had the Hammer of Thunder that would emit lightning, what would the effect be? You might be able to destroy the planet with just one hit. You will be the embodiment of the God of Lightning if you have this..” Alba babbling.

In the end, he did not forget to add, “Only a real man would use Hammer of Thunder.”

All the men at the auction stared straight at the hammer. This hammer is very pretty. It shone with a blue light along with the occasional lightning. When they heard what Alba said, they began to imagine themselves releasing the Eternal Golden Body and fighting their enemies with the Lightning Hammer.

As thunder and lightning roared, they were like the embodiment of the Lightning God. It will look very domineering. They could feel their adrenaline pumping as they imagined the scene.

No one could resist appearing on the battlefield and using these combat skills in a domineering manner.

Archimedes felt very excited when he saw Hammer of Thunder on stage. This is the weapon he wanted. There were many Soulbound Weapons in Splendor, including medium and high level Soulbound Weapons. But none of those weapons made Archimedes feel as great as the Hammer of Thunder. He has to get it at whatever price.

Splendor doesn't have everything but money. Since the Fellowes family took out this kind of Soulbound Weapon, it seemed like they were burning their boat. But will it work?

In the end, the Treasure Trove would still belong to the Palmore family. If the Fellowes' families were unable to find a new Sacred Saint as their support, they could not escape the Palmore family's control.

Every great power knows this, so the Fellowes family should know this as well. Moreover, there were only 6 Sacred Saints on the surface of the entire Star Kingdom. No one would offend the Sacred Saint of the Palmore family for the sake of the Fellowes family.

As for the hidden Sacred Saints, there might be some around, but could the Fellowes family find them?

Even if they managed to find him, why would a Sacred Saint be willing to help them?

The Fellowes family is facing a dead end. It's only a matter of time before they're destroyed. This was unless there was a miracle and the True Saint master of the unharmed Fellowes family broke through to the Sacred Saint. This is their only hope.

“Nona Fellowes, is the hammer magical as you say? Didn't you lie to us?" Someone asked.

“We also have the same question. Why don't you use it and show us the effect? Otherwise, it is difficult for us to trust you.”

Since there is someone bringing this up, there will be a second, a third, or even more. Alba was expecting a question, but at the same time, she did not expect this.

It was normal for one to ask a question in a small auction. However, one would normally not question anything at the auction held by Treasure Trove. Their strength is proven.

They have a lot of assets and property, so how can they stake their company's reputation for a small profit?

If Treasure Trove encountered such a question, it meant that their reputation began to plummet.

Alba replied while feeling a little angry, “Everything, Treasure Trove is one of the top five trading companies in the Central Sacred Continent. This was thanks to the hard work and accumulation of the ancestors of the Fellowes family and the generations after. Do you think we deliberately damaged the company's reputation? Is our reputation only worth as much as a mid-tier Soulbound Weapon? You underestimate us too much.”

“Nona Fellowes, please don't misunderstand. We don't doubt you, but we just want to see how strong the hammer is. Our numbers are so many and only one of us can get them, so the person who gets them will definitely treat them as a treasure and not be willing to show them off. Since the weapon is still on you, can you show its power to fulfill our wishes?"

This person's words were not as loud as what the others had just said. But he soon gets a confession from someone else.

“He's right. We will never doubt Treasure Trove. We just want to see how strong the hammer is, that's all. I hope you'll make it happen, Miss Fellowes."

When Alba heard it, she did not reject the request. The original purpose was to satisfy everyone here. Therefore, he was able to fulfill this request. However, the person who doubted him spoke too harshly, making him a little uncomfortable.

“Because you said that, I will show you how powerful Hammer of Thunder is. I'll let you see if Treasure Trove lied to you.”

After Alba said that, he held the hammer with his right hand. Then, he used all the power of the Peak Ruler Rank to activate the hammer. Everyone is focused on him. At that moment…

Booms!

Duarr!

Blue light covered the stage. Countless blue lightning shot out from the Hammer of Thunder. It was like a heavenly power, making anyone with weak strength feel terror from the bottom of their heart.

Currently, Alba was surrounded by blue lightning. Countless lightning surrounded him, but he was not injured at all. It was as if they were welcoming their master. This scene surprised many.

David was fascinated. This was also the first time he had seen something like this. He had to admit that this hammer was indeed extraordinary. At this moment, a sentence emerged from the system.

[This hammer is one of the top three Ancient Weapons, the Hammer of Thunder, detected. Although it was broken, it was the main component of the God of Thunder Hammer. Host, please do anything to get it. The system will undergo its final upgrade after collecting the top three Ancient Weapons: Sky Splitting Axe, God of Thunder Hammer, and Sun Arc]

'What?

Isn't this Hammer of Thunder?

How did it become the God of Thunder Hammer?

It was even one of the top three Ancient Weapons?

Is this hammer really that good?

The main thing is that it is one of the system requirements to undergo its final upgrade.'

David is still very confused by his system, but this will not stop him from believing it. Since the system said it was the God of Thunder Hammer, then that must be the case. If it was said that it was one of the top three Ancient Weapons, then it must be true as well.

As for why the God of Thunder Hammer, one of the top three Ancient Weapons, only possessed maximum intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapon strength, it was definitely due to its damage. Whatever happens, David has to get that hammer.

Alba held the hammer in her hand as countless blue lightning bolts surrounded her. Each lightning strike was extremely powerful. He was only a Peak Ruler Ranker, so he could not use all the strength of the hammer. If he was a Sovereign Ranker, then maybe another story. The effect will definitely be better than the one displayed right now.

Alba was delighted to see everyone staring at her with their jaws on the floor. As time went on, he could not take it anymore. He could only activate an intermediate-tier Soulbound Weapon with the strength of his Peak Ruler Rank. Therefore, he felt that his energy was greatly drained. Only an entry-level Soulbound Weapon was suitable for him.

Alba had no idea that he was holding the God of Thunder Hammer one of the top three Ancient Weapons. His strength surpassed a first-rate Soulbound Weapon.

This hammer had been in Treasure Trove's warehouse for a long time. No one knew when it was acquired, and gradually, it became one of the Fellowes' family heirlooms and was passed down until now.

Since the God of Thunder Hammer was the heirloom of the Fellowes family, they would not touch it unless forced to. If they were not in a life or death situation right now, they would definitely not take it out.
