“Apostle John, you are indeed very powerful. You could say you are the only strong person here who can threaten me.”

Benjamin looked at Shane in the darkness and spoke.

"But as Crowe said, your arrogance will be your downfall."

“Through your battle with those three pirates, I have seen through the true nature of your secret technique.”

“To use darkness as a domain, that’s truly remarkable.”

"However, unfortunately, my power happens to be the perfect counter to your secret technique."

As he spoke, tiny sparkles of light appeared in Benjamin's palm.

"I'm asking you one last time, are you willing to surrender?"

“If you surrender, I will grant you the rank of colonel on behalf of the Royal Navy, and may even apply to the King for a peerage.”

Hearing these words, the pirates in the room were greatly shocked.

They hadn't expected Benjamin to have such a high opinion of Shane, and even to offer such generous terms for surrender.

A colonel's rank, a noble title on the mainland—these are things that countless pirates dream of.

What terrified the pirates even more was...

If Xia En really surrenders, then at this point in the Pirate Kingdom, no one will be able to stop the two of them from sweeping across the land.

Kro was defeated; the First Apostle was seriously injured, and the Western King and the Eastern King were dead.

The only two who could be considered as having combat power were Feng Hou above and the Third Apostle Tiffany.

Realizing this, everyone present held their breath, awaiting Shane's reply.

"I must say, your proposal is very attractive."

Shane's casual remark made the pirates' hearts jump into their throats, but fortunately his next words put them at ease.

"But, I refuse!"

"If you want to destroy the Pirate Kingdom, then try defeating me first!"

Benjamin was not surprised by Shane's choice; he simply sighed with regret.

"It seems that another genius is going to die at my hands today."

Before he finished speaking, several bright stars lit up around Benjamin.

Moreover, these faintly visible stars rapidly spread into the distance, and their starlight gradually brightened.

As starlight illuminated various parts of the darkness, the once dense, overwhelming darkness began to thin, visibility slowly increased, and the deep-seated malice gradually dissipated.

Fear comes from the unknown.

But once there is light in the darkness, and you can see what's around you, the fear is greatly reduced.

Gray Cloud immediately saw through Benjamin's intention and was shocked.

"He intends to use starlight to dispel the darkness and thereby completely destroy this realm!"

"So, just as Benjamin said, his secret technique is John's natural nemesis!"

Beside him, the man in the white coat shook his head and chuckled.

"This guy's domain is not as simple as it seems."

"If you simply treat it as pure darkness, you'll definitely suffer a great loss."

Gray Cloud was skeptical of his assessment, his eyes fixed on the two people in the arena.

As the starlight gradually brightened, Xia En's figure and face appeared before everyone.

People were both amazed by his youth and handsomeness and horrified by the surrounding ruins that looked like they had been destroyed by a storm.

What kind of battle could leave such marks?
Crow, the Mad King, standing in the crater, could only be described as "utterly pathetic".

He was bruised and swollen, covered in wounds, his red fur was torn to shreds, and several of his bones were broken.

This contrasted sharply with Xia En's composed demeanor.

at this time.

The first to make a move was not Shane or Benjamin, but the very docile Roshan Tucker who had been acting very well from the beginning!
Highly corrosive venom seeped from his feet, corroding the ground beneath him and creating a hole, which he then crawled down into.

Tucker didn't want to run away at this time either.

But in his perception, he clearly sensed that the darkness illuminated by starlight was still casting a strong malice upon him.

This malice is growing stronger and stronger!

Tucker immediately understood—

The twelfth apostle, John, wanted to kill him!

This left Tucker completely baffled. Why would this person target someone who posed little threat, when a formidable enemy was at hand?
Moreover, now that Benjamin has taken action, why hasn't this sense of threat from the darkness subsided?

Tucker's intuition told him he had to escape as soon as possible!

That's why he suddenly did this.

It was clear that Tucker's obese body was about to corrode a tunnel and escape into the sea.

next moment.

A cold snort rang in his ear.

"Hmph, want to run away?"

The viscous darkness followed Tucker as he ventured deeper into the tunnel.

A longsword formed of shadow pierced straight toward Tucker's back.

laugh!
A gush of venom suddenly erupted from the fat on Tucker's back, completely corroding the Shadow Sword.

His poisonous blood has transcended the realm of ordinary liquids; even secret powers can corrode and decompose it.

However, spitting out such venomous blood was also a drain on Tucker, bringing him one step closer to death.

He still had to live until the promotion ceremony ended, so naturally he didn't want to continue using this life-threatening fighting style.

Then, Tucker's face contorted in a ferocious grimace as he roared.

"John, don't push me!"

"Believe it or not, I'll just self-destruct, and half the people on this island will be poisoned to death! This sea area will also become a dead sea!"

Xia En said indifferently, "What does that have to do with me?"

"Besides, you can try it and see if you can do it."

As he spoke, more than a dozen shadowy daggers shot out from all directions, frantically slicing through Tucker's flesh.

At this moment, a hint of anger finally surfaced on Benjamin's composed face.

"John, how dare you be distracted when you're facing me?"

"That's... utterly foolish!"

Benjamin's anger is not hard to understand.

He had already regarded Shane as an opponent of equal strength and was preparing to fight him, but Shane ignored him and went to hunt down Tucker.

What utter contempt!
What an insult!

Especially for a well-established and powerful figure like Benjamin, it was simply unbearable.

As Benjamin grew angry, the stars around him seemed to glow with a faint red light.

These starlight points rapidly coalesced and transformed, eventually becoming an extremely large and long spear.

Benjamin clenched his fists as if he were holding the starlight spear.

Immediately, he turned his body and hurled the starlight spear with all his might!
The spear instantly transformed into a streak of light, striking directly in the direction where Shane was located.

Upon seeing this dazzling starlight, the pirates were all shaken and felt a deep-seated fear.

Their first reaction was to instinctively unleash their secret power to protect themselves.

Even the Wind Queen, the Mad King, and Tiffany found it difficult to remain calm and composed.

In their perception, the danger of this starlight spear was several times greater than that of the First Apostle Moss's icy light.

Furthermore, it gives people a sense of "locking in" and "guaranteed success".

"John is dead."

At that moment, many people had this thought in their minds.

However, Shane remained unmoved by the rapidly approaching starlight spear and instead extended a giant shadowy hand toward Tucker.

Tucker wailed in his heart as he hid underground.

"Is this guy insane?" "Even at a time like this, he still wants to kill me?!"

"Or did he know he was going to die anyway, so he wanted to take someone down with him?"

Regardless, the threat of death remains a real threat.

Tucker gritted his teeth, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes: "If we're going to die, then let's die together!"

"If I failed to get promoted, no one else can!"

Immediately, under the impetus of the secret power, his body was transformed into a flammable and explosive substance using alchemical techniques.

Then, the fat and toxic blood burned violently, causing a terrifying explosion in an instant.

However, just before the explosion spread outwards and even reached the entire island.

A giant, shadowy hand suddenly clenched it in its palm, compressing the explosive force into an extremely small area.

Boom!
Almost everyone heard a muffled thud, and the ground shook violently.

"This tremor..."

Gray Cloud's expression changed slightly: "Did Tucker self-destruct?"

"But its power seems to have weakened a lot..."

"No, the most crucial thing now is whether John can catch this Starlight Spear."

He stared intently at the direction where the starlight spear had fallen, and his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

The starlight spear tore through a great deal of darkness as it passed, dazzlingly bright.

But just as it was about to land on Xia En, its speed suddenly slowed down, as if it had plunged into a clump of mud.

Moreover, the darkness surrounding Xia En underwent another eerie change, becoming denser and deeper, once again obscuring his figure.

Those few seconds felt like an eternity to people.

Then, Shane's voice rang out again.

"Benjamin, do you think... you're the only one who can use the power of the stars?"

"Watch closely, this is how the true power of the stars is used!"

next moment.

Countless starlight shone from the darkness surrounding Xia En, illuminating his appearance at that moment—

A colossal giant, barely maintaining the outline of a human, its body covered in starlight.

Beside this giant of stars lies the vast, boundless starry sky and the unfathomable darkness.

The Xia En before them seemed to be standing in the vast universe, far away from them, quietly observing the actions of these ants.

He caught the starlight spear lightly in his hand, preventing it from advancing an inch.

What was originally an extremely long spear was, in his hands, merely a short sword.

Xia En gripped the "short sword" and flicked it lightly.

It flew towards Benjamin, who was standing still, at an even faster speed than it had come.

Not only the pirates in the palace, but everyone on the entire Wan Chuan Island and even in the surrounding area stared at this star giant with disbelief.

In this realm of the Great Darkness, he is the only light!

Some highly intuitive people may even experience inexplicable hallucinations after gazing directly at this star giant.

Or rather, they saw some... things they shouldn't have seen.

"This secret technique...this domain...it's just ridiculously powerful!"

Gray Cloud stared at the Star Giant, his mouth agape.

He had never been so grateful that John was his teammate, not his enemy.

"Interesting! Interesting!"

The man in the white coat next to Gray Cloud looked excited, staring at Xia En with the eyes of someone looking at a rare treasure, and muttered to himself.

"Not only can it enhance one's own talents and secret techniques, but it can also absorb all the secret power within this domain..."

"Be stronger when facing the weak, and even stronger when facing the strong!"

"What a brilliant idea!"

"However, why does his aura feel slightly familiar?"

No one paid attention to the man's mutterings; their eyes were all fixed on the point where the starlight spear had landed.

Benjamin's expression was solemn. He used both hands to create a ball of starlight that spun like a millstone, pulling and weakening the power of the starlight spear.

Soon, the many red starlights dissipated.

Benjamin's face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that he had not had an easy time receiving this blow.

"Oh? Aren't you going to attack?"

Xia En spoke again, "Then I'm going to launch the attack."

At that moment, colorful and ever-changing nebulae appeared behind him.

It emitted a corrosive and infectious odor.

"It's Tucker's poison!"

Benjamin immediately recognized the true nature of the nebula, and his brow furrowed even deeper.

"You extracted my Starry Sky Secret Power?"

Xia En smiled faintly and said, "That's right, I should thank you for adding a few more stars to my [Great Dark Sky]."

"However, even without you, I can still use this secret power."

If Benjamin hadn't wanted to use the stars to illuminate the darkness, he wouldn't have scattered the secret power of the stars throughout the various corners of the Great Dark Heaven.

This gave Xia En the opportunity to extract secret power on a large scale.

Faced with this situation, Benjamin took a deep breath, and tiny specks of dark red starlight seeped from the pores of his skin.

"John, come to battle!"

With a roar, Benjamin charged straight at Shane.

Immediately afterwards, people saw two clusters of starlight of different colors engage in an extremely fierce battle in this darkness.

The two interact, collide, and become entangled.

At first, the pirates could barely make out the two figures, but soon they could only see two streaks of starlight in the darkness, fighting from one end of Wan Chuan Island to the other.

The mere aftermath of their confrontation was enough to terrify many pirates.

However, most people can tell...

In mid-air, the red starlight gradually weakened, while the giant's light grew ever brighter.

Even the fiercest battles eventually come to a halt.

With a deafening roar, the dark red starlight was shattered once again, and Benjamin's figure flew backward, crashing into the palace, whose four walls were destroyed and which was almost reduced to ruins.

Xia En's figure then appeared and returned to a normal human size.

After stepping on Benjamin, he walked step by step toward the throne in the hall.

Of the entire palace, only this throne has miraculously remained unchanged.

As Shane walked forward, he looked around at the pirates.

Whether it was the Queen of the Wind, Crow, or the other apostles, they all silently lowered their heads.

No one dared to look him in the eye.

Fear, humility, shock, excitement, awe... Xia En saw a variety of emotions on their faces, but his heart remained calm.

Suddenly, a pirate prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing to Shane and shouting fervently, "Your Majesty! You will become the new Pirate King!"

His call to action immediately received a response from many people.

A new king has been born!

"Please lead us forward!"

"May the new king ascend the throne!"
