We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 380 Facing the Truth Society! Augustine under Control!

"Oh?"

"I never thought that in this day and age, there would still be people who could recognize me."

The man who easily repelled the Black Flame Walker turned around, revealing a face in the prime of his life.

His eyes were dark and deep, like a night sky without stars.

She has short, black hair.

His chin has a neat stubble, which prevents his face from looking too youthful.

Even though he looks quite different from the older version of himself in the portrait.

But the two brothers could still recognize each other at a glance—

This person who suddenly appeared was none other than Augustine, the founder of the old era's "Pirate Duchy" and a former king!

In fact, the reason they were able to recognize each other was...

Because of……

The Lord of Cinder greatly admired this pirate king and even hung his portrait in the Great Flame Palace.

On one occasion, the two brothers even heard the King of Cinder mention it—

Some of the technologies in this research institute actually come from Augustine's legacy.

However, they never expected this.

I will meet this former king here!
Moreover, judging from his appearance...

The other party not only came back to life, but even returned to the state of being a young adult.

The key is……

Augustine even became an accomplice of the invaders!?
"what on earth is it?"

Even the two brothers, who were well-informed and experienced, couldn't help but feel puzzled and shocked when faced with this situation.

However, it was a shock.

The two did not panic; instead, they became even clearer about what they needed to do.

No matter who the visitors are, all they need to do is drive them out without leaving a single one alive, and that will be enough!
And this time.

Several more figures in white coats walked in from outside the hall.

They possessed a rational temperament similar to Jane's.

Because of his excessive rationality, he inexplicably gives people a feeling of being human yet not quite human.

One of them glanced at Augustine not far away, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"This is your recreation of Augustine?"

"Not bad, not bad, at least 90% accurate."

"It seems that the Truth Society of later generations still has some true geniuses who have not disgraced our reputation."

he asked with a smile.

"But... he wasn't Augustine at his peak, was he?"

"Is it because the technology is not up to standard, or... is there some kind of limitation in terms of skill level that brings us to this place?"

Upon hearing these words, the members of the Truth Society standing nearby were somewhat surprised.

One of them said, "As expected of Lord Camus, whose documents have been passed down to later generations, he was able to guess the truth at a glance."

Camus said calmly, "Isn't this just the way it should be?"

Seeing these people with unique personalities praising each other at this moment.

The two legendary Blackflame Walkers and the old man from the Ice and Snow Clan all had strange expressions.

They haven't experienced this feeling of being ignored in a long time.

Seeing his hard-earned fighter jet being wasted like this, the white-haired old man could no longer suppress his anger and couldn't help but question it.

"What are you doing?"

"Why aren't you killing these two brothers yet?"

"If we delay any longer, the Lord of Cinder might notice the commotion and come over!"

Seeing his angry and out-of-control expression, the member of the "Truth Society" called Camus frowned slightly.

"What an idiot who doesn't know how to appreciate things."

"You have no idea what the meaning and aesthetics of this technology represent, do you?"

However, Camus shook his head halfway through his sentence.

"Forget it, talking about the greatness of technology with a mediocre person like you is just like casting pearls before swine."

"B5, go and take them out."

With Camus's command.

Augustine, who had remained silent since the members of the Truth Society came forward, finally made a move.

He looked at the two brothers who were at the legendary level, his aura constantly accumulating, like an insurmountable mountain.

At the same time, Augustine said calmly.

"Although I am unwilling to kill, I am currently at the mercy of others and have no choice but to take action."

"You two, watch out!"

Upon hearing this, the two brothers' expressions turned serious, as if facing a formidable enemy.

They had a vague idea.

The Augustine before us may not be the true pirate king of history, nor is he at the peak of his power.

But even so.

The two brothers couldn't help but feel immense pressure.

A king of an old era.

The title itself is enough to inspire awe.

Especially considering that the two brothers had also had close contact with the Lord of Cinder.

They understand better than most the weight behind the title "King".

but.

The two men remained resolute, showing no sign of fear.

No matter who the enemy is, if you don't even have the courage to fight them.

Then they would have truly lost!
……

……

In the passageway deep within the restricted area.

Xia En and his group are moving forward quickly.

And on the way forward.

They saw the bodies of victims and experimental subjects constantly appearing near the cells.

Some of the test subjects died from the miniature devices attached to their necks.

The other bodies bore traces of being torn and gnawed by wild animals.

Obviously.

These deranged test subjects not only attack the institute's guards and researchers.

They also fight and devour each other.

As the group passed by a prison cell, they encountered a research institute guard who was covered in blood but was not yet dead.

"...Manager Wan?"

The guard leaning against the wall was still conscious.

Upon seeing Xia En and his group pass by, he couldn't help but let out a hoarse call.

Xiao Wan quickly stepped forward and, after seeing the other person's face clearly, exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you Hilson, the one who specifically guards the Grand Elder's cell?"

"it's me."

Hilson said, sounding unusually weak.

"That guy actually had a hidden, icy power within him all along, which only revealed itself today."

"My brothers and I fought with all our might but could not defeat them, and in the end... only I survived."

"There are also several researchers who are his accomplices."

"After helping him escape from his cage, they headed towards the main hall at the deepest part of the restricted area."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, a look of panic flashed across Xiao Wan's face.

"The Grand Elder escaped?"

Seeing the slightly puzzled looks on Xia En's and the others' faces, Xiao Wan explained.

"The Grand Elder is the most dangerous prisoner in this research institute."

"His hostility and hatred towards the King of Cinder and the Great Yan Kingdom are the strongest among all the Ice and Snow People."

At this moment, Anbing clearly remembered the existence of this Grand Elder and muttered to himself.

"The eldest elder has always claimed to be in seclusion within the family."

"I never expected... that I would also be imprisoned in the restricted area of ​​this research institute."

The guard named Hilson advised.

"Manager Wan, you all should run away quickly."

"This rebellion was by no means a spur-of-the-moment act; the enemy had made ample preparations long ago."

"It wasn't just that old man; several prisoners of the [Ice People] were also waiting for this day." "And among them was an extremely terrifying individual..."

At this point, a lingering sense of fear from escaping death appeared on the guard's face.

"He only glanced at us, but his aura was so overwhelming that it almost took our breath away."

"I think... even those two adults might not be his match, right?"

"There is such a powerful person."

Xiao Wan murmured in shock.

She was well aware of the status of the two Black Flame Walker brothers in the eyes of the guards.

But at this moment, the guard gave this evaluation.

This is enough to demonstrate the enemy's strength.

To this, Shane was not particularly surprised.

Since the Truth Society had planned to invade the research institute well in advance, they would naturally send out elite forces with legendary combat power.

That's when.

boom! boom! boom!
Suddenly, a series of loud crashes echoed from the deep passage below.

A collision of some kind of forces caused the entire underground research institute to tremble slightly.

And after hearing the muffled sound.

Xia En's expression changed slightly.

He could sense that the two sides colliding at this moment had reached the legendary level of power!

Clearly, this was a clash between the legendary powerhouse stationed at the research institute and the invaders.

Xia En quickly guessed the truth.

Just don't know why.

He sensed a slight familiarity from the faint aura of secret power emanating from it.

Suppress the doubts in my heart.

Without further hesitation, Xia En immediately led everyone toward the innermost hall.

When encountering failed test subjects along the way, Shane showed no mercy, crushing them with brute force in order to reach the scene of the battle as quickly as possible.

Traveling at breakneck speed.

After a while.

The group then arrived at the entrance of the hall.

But the scene that came into view made Xia En's pupils shrink.

In this empty and cold underground hall...

Two figures dressed in black flame robes were flashing and moving back and forth.

They launched a relentless barrage of attacks on a figure in the center of the hall every moment.

Dark flames coiled around them, carrying an aura that seemed to come from the netherworld.

Their towering figures appear even more majestic, reminiscent of messengers who would take away souls.

Its legendary aura is fully displayed.

Even when faced with the combined attack of these two legendary powerhouses.

The figure in the center of the hall remained as composed as if strolling leisurely in a garden.

He would slap his hand every now and then.

Yet it always landed precisely where the two brothers were bound to pass, as if it had already locked onto their vital energy.

No matter how fast the two moved, they could not escape his attack.

On the bright side.

It was two brothers, who were launching a fierce attack on this person.

But to everyone else, it seemed as if he had single-handedly suppressed these two legends.

as if……

The two brothers would be defeated instantly if they stopped attacking.

just.

The shock of this battle scene paled in comparison to the awe Shaun felt when he saw the face of the person being besieged.

"...Augustine?"

Not just in the promotion ceremony, but also in an experience of returning to history.

On that Emerald Isle, Shane once saw a young Augustine.

That face was almost identical to the one of the men in front of him.

What he couldn't understand was...

How did Augustine end up here?

The first guess that popped into Xia En's mind was that Augustine was also an existence created by the memories of the Great Flame.

But then I thought about it again and realized that wasn't right.

Even in the era of the Great Yan Kingdom, Augustine had already passed away for hundreds of years, making it impossible for him to reproduce such a complete form.

And immediately.

Xia En looked at the researchers in white coats not far away.

Judging from their unique demeanor, it's easy to tell that they are members of the [Truth Society]!

Furthermore, at this point, Augustine seems to be on the side of the invaders…

Shane immediately drew a conclusion—

This Augustine is a product of the Truth Society's plan to recreate the strong from history!

Think of this.

Shaen's first reaction was shock, and his second reaction was anger.

Although he only had a few encounters with Augustine.

However, he also received a lot of help from this king and gained a deeper understanding of him.

Shaen clearly understood just how much courage and ambition Augustine possessed.

That is the story of daring to challenge the Outer Gods.

It even deeply moved him and filled him with admiration.

This is absolutely a king worthy of respect!
But at this time.

The Truth Society, however, brought him back to life, merely to satisfy their own selfish desires.

This is undoubtedly a desecration of Augustine!

How could Shane not be angry about this?
at the same time.

The members of the Truth Society, led by Camus, also noticed the arrival of Shane and the others.

Camus's gaze first fell on Jane in the crowd.

"Such a rational temperament makes him stand out from those idiots."

"Could it be... that she is also one of our companions?"

The members from the later-era "Truth Society" had a sudden change in expression and muttered something.

"Lady Tranquility? Xia En?"

"They actually came too..."

"Lord Camus, we must finish this quickly."

"Please hold them off while we seize the [Coffin of Eternity]."

The purpose of these members of the "Truth Society" is very clear.

They didn't come here to fight to the death.

Their ultimate goal is to seize the "Coffin of Eternity".

Upon hearing this, Camus did not hesitate, but simply replied calmly.

"give it to me."

Then, the man who had spoken earlier shouted at Augustine.

"B5, act quickly and resolve this battle as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Augustine's eyes.

Even if he wasn't the true original body, he would never like this feeling of being ordered around.

However, the member of the "Truth Society" simply sneered and showed his wrist.

On it is a bracelet inlaid with three gemstones.

The man spoke loudly.

"Augustine B5, I command you to go all out and defeat these two legendary Mystic Pathfinders."

The words fell.

One of the gems shattered upon impact.

An invisible curse seemed to appear in the air and acted directly on Augustine.

Augustine's body stiffened instantly.

Then, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes became cold and indifferent, like a cold machine.

Immediately afterwards, Augustine launched a real offensive against the legendary brothers!
