Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 562: The Clown, Byron Fell

When [Noah's Ark] fell into a disadvantage and the situation reversed, the little ship girl beside Byron grew visibly bigger and had the pretty appearance of a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl with a budding flower.

The overall strength of the legendary battleship also increased significantly.

Before Byron could be happy, he saw [Noah's Ark] suddenly turned around and rushed towards him regardless of everything.

Everyone on the Golden Deer, including the fifth-level warriors, felt a chill.

The other party's undisguised appetite made the fear of the top of the food chain, which had been deposited in human blood for countless years, surface again in people's hearts.

Natural enemy!

This is an irresistible natural enemy that has eaten countless human ancestors and is deeply engraved in human blood and the depths of the collective subconscious!
If it weren't for the rise of humans in the Silver Age, which kept all the corpses of the old gods, who were not human to begin with, out of the world, the Mother of Monsters, which had already devoured the Paleozoic and Mythological Ages, would have had to do so for another 1,500 years in the Silver Age.

"Concentrate fire! All fleets activate [Blessing of the Deep Sea] and retreat one nautical mile."

Without waiting for Byron to speak, the little ship girl, who had no psychological trauma at all from the Mother of Sea Monsters, gave the order herself.

As the fleet retreated, it launched concentrated fire at Noah's Ark.

Although the latter was still tightly entangled by the Kraken's tentacles, many red hands and feet grew out of the cracks in the planks and crawled rapidly on the orange-red sea.

Scarlet mycelium and roots crawled out from the cracks and gathered at the bow to form the shape of a female head.

His eyes glowed red as he stared at Byron, making an indistinct roar:
“Eat, eat, eat”

The life soup that was continuously released flowed back into the hull, like high-energy fuel, making the Ark's speed faster and faster, and even the tentacles wrapped around its body were forcibly broken off one by one.

It was clear that he would have to injure the enemy 800 even if it meant losing 1,000 of his own money, in order to be the first to eat Byron's "tonic pill".

As long as he can regain his sanity and become the only complete demigod in the material world, won’t he be able to eat anyone he wants next?

"Monster, who are you going to eat?!"

Catherine, the mithril dragon, was hit on the reverse scale by the Mother of Monsters, and all the scales on her body exploded instantly. She almost ignored the huge gap between the fourth level and the sixth level, and transformed into a giant dragon and rushed up to fight with Him to the death.

She had long forgotten that she was already the mother of an egg, and she perfectly interpreted the idea that being a parent is true love and having a child is purely an accident.

But he was immediately pulled back by Byron's tail, and he couldn't help but continue to "spit weapons" at the Mother of Monsters.

Violet also unfolded her Mechanical Fortress, which had not yet warmed up.

They made use of the steel, bronze, whale oil, gunpowder and other materials at hand, enlarged them in proportion to the design drawings of the bolt-action rifle, and made hundreds of large-scale "bolt-action infantry guns".

With this batch of rifled cannons, the Ark was bombarded wildly, almost blowing off the old sealing cover on the top.

But after recovering the soup of life, the recovery ability of this mythical battleship has increased dramatically. The old planks are being replaced by the roots of the "Tree of Life" and are becoming stronger.

If we don't find a way, it's hard to say whether we can defeat Byron in the end, but it shouldn't be a problem to break through the defense line, enter the North Sea and kill people.

Byron stopped their useless efforts and comforted them:
"When dealing with evil spirits and weird things, the most important thing to be wary of is their constant 'accidental magic'.

If something has the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

To ensure that basic goals are achieved, at least three plans should be prepared.

[Noah's Ark] has already devoured the ten major underwater kingdoms in the East Continent. It is normal for the explosive mode that consumes the foundation to have such power.

Fortunately, we still have a trump card to play.

Leave Him to me.”

To be honest, Byron was also a little hesitant about whether to sink Noah's Ark in the North Sea.

You must know that the entire Sea of ​​Monsters is full of the descendants of the Mother Monster. If they die here, the North Sea Empire will definitely never have peace.

Moreover, the Orthodox Church, which will not easily give up the Ark, and the major forces that have lost their own legends will most likely put collective pressure on them to force them to open their territorial waters and allow all countries to jointly "study" the wreckage of the Ark.

He is very familiar with this routine. Once he gets stuck, there is no way he can move forward.

There will inevitably be countless lawsuits to be fought later.

Now that Ark has set its sights on him, that may not be a bad thing. He can then use the third plan besides [Touch of the Kraken].

Crack!

Byron's body flashed with lightning and he flew over the Ark.

The two entangled behemoths immediately stopped charging towards the fleet.

Through the broken planks, he could clearly see the small world ecosystem inside. A giant red tree very similar to the one on the [Gate of Truth] was stretching its branches and growing rapidly.

It turned into slender female arms, and the fleshy leaves at the end turned into thousands of hands, which turned into a bloody torrent and quickly grabbed Byron in the sky.

In each of their palms, a mouth with sharp teeth opened, shouting at the top of its lungs: "Eat, eat, eat!"

His crazy appetite made people wonder if even the thunderstorm and the sky standing in his way would be eaten up.

This overwhelming and terrifying momentum alone is enough to scare any mortal to death.

Byron, however, remained unmoved, as a ball of the finest [Panacea] in the entire material world oozed out of his palms, clearing all of his own genetic codes, and then threw it towards those palms.

Wow.
Just like the scene when feeding fish in the deep sea where organic matter is scarce, any food residue will attract thousands of fish to swarm in and fight desperately for it.

After throwing this ball of [Panacea], the chaos on the Mother of Monsters was weakened a little, but it obviously made her even hungrier.

“Eat, eat, eat”

The sharp roars echoed even louder throughout the entire North Sea. After tasting the delicious bite, they were desperate to eat more flesh and blood.

But that's exactly what Byron wanted.

To mobilize the power of the underworld towards the collective subconscious of the people of Taiwan is to reach out with all your strength.

When you spread out your palm, you will see a bunch of golden anchors in your palm, which seem to be infinitely large and infinitely small.

It was the chain of faith that was anchored in the sea of ​​the collective subconscious of the people of the Bay by the Deep Sea Church, the Worm Temple, and the Druid Sect.

They belong respectively to [Kraken, the Sleeping God]; Sananos, the [God of Plenty] and [Horned One]; and Beelzebub, the Prince of Gluttony.

The vanguards of various sects were exposed from the beginning, and a mere group of fourth-order mythical creatures were quietly captured by his incarnations.

All the anchor chains in Anchor Bay, the Three Kingdoms of Kalmar in the Eternal Night Peninsula, and the Kingdom of Hastings have now been precisely removed by the [Surgical Operating Table] and fell into Byron's hands.

The initial plan of the coalition forces of the Church of the Old Gods was to have [Noah's Ark] and the Kraken's Tension press hard on one end, while the six Old God bodies outside the world pulled hard on the other end.

Together, they pulled the collective subconscious of the people of the Bay, who had been defeated and turned into a pile of loose sand, into the Sea of ​​​​Source.

But that kind of good thing doesn't happen anymore.

Byron looked at the two huge beasts and sneered:
“We, the people of Taiwan, are too big for you to eat.

[He Who Must Not Be Named] has now become 'I Kill Myself', so you guys should just reluctantly do 'I Eat Myself'."

As he said this, he once again wrapped a bunch of anchors with his own flesh and blood and threw them down.

Not only the Mother of Monsters, but also these two demigod incarnations are involved.

The [Mother of Monsters] ate the anchor chains of [Kraken, the Sleeping God], [God of Plenty], and [Horned One] Sananos.

[Touch of the Kraken] also ate the anchor chain of [Prince Gluttony Beelzebub] without hesitation.

At the same time, the three mythical creatures that had been captured by Byron immediately sent a signal to the old gods outside the world who were drowned and had only instinctive reactions left - My Lord, it's time to eat!

Just when those countless bloody hands were about to touch the corner of Byron's clothes.

collapse--!
The anchor chain that was swallowed by the Ark was instantly tightened, causing Him to stagger suddenly.

The old gods had originally intended to prey on the people of the Bay, but now they have become Noah's Ark and the Touch of the Kraken, which had managed to sneak back into the material world with great difficulty.

But in essence they are pretty much the same.

In a place like the Sea of ​​​​Source where "food" is scarce, they have eaten countless humans in the material world and gradually "ascended" themselves. Like Byron, they are also a tonic!

Once the old gods outside the world grab them, they will never let go.

The surroundings of the two old gods' avatars suddenly began to blur, and they gradually sank with the sea surface as the boundary.

Not sinking to the bottom of the North Sea, but sinking to the edge of the world, or even being forcibly dragged out of the material world!
The two of them naturally resisted instinctively out of the desire to survive, and stretched many anchor chains straight.

But as time went by, even though the anchor chain made a creaking sound, the two of them never sank completely.

Byron suddenly realized a key problem and his face changed:
“I almost forgot that the most basic feature of the mythical battleship [Noah’s Ark] is that it will never sink.

Without this characteristic, He would not have been able to carry the gods through the flood.

It is obvious that the pulling force is not enough to sink Him into the sea of ​​source with just the corpses of a few demigods."

He once again reviewed the information about Noah's Ark in the [Original Core] soul that he had just received, and confirmed again whether the danger was controllable.

Grit your teeth. If you don't sacrifice your child, you can't catch the wolf; if you don't sacrifice your body, you can't catch the old god.

He took the initiative to land on the sea not far from the Ark, cut his wrists and scattered a large amount of panacea into the sea water, attracting their attention back to himself.

Snapped!
Then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The water of the River Styx in the shadow instantly dyed the sea water beneath his feet black.

At the same time, Baron Saturday's authority [Crossroads] unfolded the boundary between life and death, and together they opened a passage to the edge of the world.

Green light flickered in the sky. Byron turned and jumped in.

This time, seeing the delicious food, the two incarnations of the old gods finally stopped resisting the pulling force of the other end of the anchor chain and dived down.

The sky and the earth were upside down, the wind was biting and cold, and when their vision was restored, they had come to a dark and gloomy world, falling from the sky to the ground together.

On both sides, there is a huge amount of sea water pouring down like a huge waterfall, and in front and behind is a wide crack with no end in sight. It looks like an abyss in the sea that can never be filled.

At the bottom of the abyss is a cold, pale white sand beach, with endless sand dunes, rugged reefs, and countless islands of all sizes.

The ocean currents, beaches, seabed mud, and islands large and small are littered with the wreckage of sunken ships and the bodies of dead sailors.

The most common sight on land is not vegetation, but layers upon layers of cemeteries and tombs.

On the largest island in the center, there is a dark "bottomless pit" as deep as a devil's eye.

That was the divine realm once ruled by the [Messenger of the Abyss], [Lord of the Abyss], [King of Harmful Grasshoppers], and the great red dragon Abaddon.

If there is a place in the material world that can be called hell, it is undoubtedly here!

If the material world is viewed as a huge ship sailing on the sea of ​​primordial essence, then the edge of the world belonging to the land of the dead is the horrible bottom cabin that never sees sunlight all year round and is full of cockroaches and rats.

In theory, this is the transit point for all dead souls, the base camp of undead creatures, and the final destination of all faithless dead souls in the material world.

The underworld of every race and civilization can be found here.

Yes, Byron's plan was simple.

If Plan No. 1 cannot throw the clones of the two old gods back out of the material world.

Then we have to settle for the next best thing and exile them to the edge of the world, far away from the material world and all human beings, a place with only dry bones and dead souls and no "food". We cannot let the two incarnations of the old gods continue to recover their sanity!

The edge of the world is the lowest point in the entire material world.

They want to return to the material world, which may be a little easier than the corpses of the old gods outside, but with a bunch of anchor chains holding them back, it is destined to be difficult.

Unless the Luo Yan era arrives completely and the entire world is flooded to break the [Silver Law], it will be possible to wash them back together with the corpses of the old gods in the outside world.

And Byron chose no other place as the landing point.

Right next to the "Bottomless Pit" is a white desert without any water, and next to it is the lair of the [Cult of Abaddon] at the edge of the world.

He had not forgotten that the [Devil Lord] Lolina had brought her ghost fleet to support the York family in fighting against him, so this was a good opportunity to give them some fun.

You may call us vindictive or petty, but once we, Westwind Express, deliver something, we will not accept returns, and even complaints will be read but not responded to.

The Abaddon Cult has decided to take over these two natural disasters!

"Huh? What is that?!"

Seeing that the desert on the ground was getting closer and closer, and the two sixth-level demigod clones behind him were getting closer and closer, Byron was about to run away.

Suddenly, a fairy tale paradise with dark tones suddenly appeared on the edge of this island which belongs to the sphere of influence of the "Bottomless Pit".

Circus, float parade, fireworks show, flying trapeze, castle exploration... everything is available.

Endless laughter filled the park, which was incompatible with the atmosphere of Edge of the World.

On the spire of a pink castle, a clown was holding a handful of colorful balloons and slowly rising into the sky.

Greeting him enthusiastically and making all kinds of funny expressions.

But when Byron saw the other person's pale face, exaggerated blood-like lips and nose, and dirty colored curly hair, he felt a chill in his heart and a fear rising from the bottom of his bones.

Without waiting for the [Navigation Log] to read the other party's identity.

Byron saw the clown take out a needle from the air and make a stabbing motion at himself from a distance.

The piercing sense of crisis suddenly made his scalp explode. The next moment, the feeling that his fate was being interfered with came over him again, and his body froze on the spot.

What followed was a blood-red hand that stretched out from the gap in the Ark behind him and grabbed him in.

A sharp and crazy laugh came from afar:
"The hero's destiny is indeed the most interesting toy in the world. It's fun. It's so fun. Hahahaha."

Until this moment, Byron's mind finally flashed with lightning, and he thought of a sentence that Dagon once said:

"[The man whose name cannot be mentioned] has been playing with the fate of the continent's nations, kings, and even the church through major historical events. He has not been killed by fate yet, which shows how difficult he is.

Some people speculate that behind him may be a complete demigod born after the Silver Age (Chapter 547)!"

At the last moment before he was swallowed by the gap in the hull, he stared with wide eyes at the funny clown who was gracefully saluting him in mid-air but fell down with a smile because his right hand let go of the balloon tip. His heart was in turmoil:

"Destiny, demigod, no wonder I never associated it with this existence despite such an obvious hint.

He subconsciously overlooked the fact that the one who had been protecting the 'rapist' for so long was actually Him.

——An immortal level zero cursed spirit, whose status is the same as the culprit of the Black Death, the [God of Funeral], and is equivalent to the demigod [The Clown of Life and Death]!"

The high-ranking officials of the mainland are no strangers to the [Life-threatening Clown]. Long before the profession of clown was born, this powerful cursed spirit was already a level zero terrifying existence.

The prototype was originally just a disguised murderer who used cruel means to cause a large number of missing children.

Eventually he was caught by angry citizens, who retaliated by peeling off his skin alive.

Later, the human skin that was paraded through the streets was transformed into a cursed suit under the strong resentment of the evil spirit: a wig, a red nose, and a set of clothes.

At this point, the appearance of a clown was born in the world for the first time.

It will bewitch humans into wearing it, but once they put it on, they can never take it off. Instead, it will completely grow together with the wearer and then slowly turn into a man-eating monster.

After eating many people, it will become stronger and stronger until it is killed next time. Then, by various coincidences, the clown costume will fall into the hands of the next person who holds resentment towards humans, and the cycle will repeat.

Moreover, the clown suit has the characteristic of "playing with life", which makes it impossible for any prophecy to lock on to it. As its power increases, it can even actively tease fate.

Blocking the victim's senses, distorting their perception, and not letting them notice you before taking action is just a basic ability.

What [History of the Silver Continent] can do, [Life-threatening Clown] can do too, and the methods will only be bloodier and more cruel.

It was precisely because of the influence of this demigod-level power that Byron had intentionally or unintentionally ignored the other party's existence before.

As for why the other party appeared at the edge of the world?
Years ago, as the power of fear was unleashed, the Joker's powers grew.

After being passed to a certain master, it has never been truly killed again.

Eventually, it polluted an entire city on the Old World, turning his hometown and birthplace into a huge and horrifying black fairy tale paradise.

It also used the paradise as a medium to open up a gap between the real world and the Sea of ​​​​Source, allowing many dark fairy tales in historical legends to invade the real world with the paradise as the core.

It caused a massive and extraordinary natural disaster.

The image of the clown has become completely synonymous with horror.

Even the church's "Night Watchmen" changed the clown's terrifying image into a funny one at the cost of modifying the collective subconscious of everyone on the continent, building a spiritual dam.

And created a new profession in the Hall Sequence [Joker], successfully isolating Him from the human world.

However, until now, [The Clown] has not died.

Instead, they have been wandering around the edge of the world and hanging out with those undead spirits that are so disgusting to eat, always wanting to return to the material world full of fresh "food".

The [Bone-Eating Clown] Koraskin, who first arrived at the "bridgehead" of the southern continent, was polluted by Him and turned into a horrible monster.

Byron himself also used the opponent's [Golden Big Ghost Card] to secretly trick the Puppet King.

I thought I had resolved the "human treachery" and the interference of fate, but I didn't expect that due to a series of "coincidences", I would run into the [Fateful Clown] head-on.

What's the difference between this and kissing a pig around the corner?
Bang!
Byron landed on a thick branch of the huge tree of life and saw the endless small world ecosystem.

There were also sporadic shouts and explosions from the resistance of the fifth-level legends.

The log also confirmed that the rules here are exactly the same as those in the memory of the [Original Core]:
“Even if a fifth-level legend enters the hull, it will be impossible for it to leave before being contaminated and assimilated into its own clan.

Unless they possess the genetic information of the entire biosphere like Fang Ark, their bloodline will be a cage that binds them tightly."

None of the fifth-level legends who came in escaped alive, and the rest were just struggling to survive.

Several secrets in the log were also updated.

After defeating all the false gods of various sects, the unlocking density of [Secret: Dragon Court Collapse Plan, Historical Influence 66] jumped from 48% to 62%.

I just saw [Life-threatening Clown] and the unlocking density jumped to 71%.

Byron realized that the clown and traitor had been planning many big plans to tear up the Silver Law, and that a temporary defeat would not stop him.

If we don't kill them, their schemes and plots will never stop.

In addition, after personally entering [Noah's Ark] and seeing everything here clearly, the decryption density of another [Secret: The fuse of the religious war, historical influence 65] finally reached 100%!

This turmoil representing the material world has finally come to an end.

Byron had just breathed a sigh of relief when his [divine vision] was suddenly triggered. He turned around and saw a wealthy and generous red-haired beauty standing quietly behind him with her plump, white body naked.

She licked her rosy lips seductively at him.

At the same time, perhaps because this secret history had a high enough influence, three entries appeared at once for him to choose from.

[You're Good] had appeared before but was not selected; then there were two brand new entries: [Wild Temporary Worker]; [Madam, You Don't Miss Your Husband Either].
