Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 580: Entering the Hall of Valor again and hearing about the Triphase Point

The core diocese of the church is also the center of the silver law of the entire continent - the Holy Silver Empire.

Over the past year, this most powerful empire among the church states has been devastated by war and has long lost its former prosperity.

If you switch to the perspective of a flying beastman, looking down from high above you can only see devastation, the decline of people's livelihood, and even fresh mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

There are not many city-states like Florence, the capital of art, which are strong enough to make both sides of the religious wars fearful. There are not many city-states that have not experienced war.

Other states and autonomous cities, large and small, were not so lucky.

Especially the first states that were involved in the religious wars were the most unfortunate.

After nearly a year of war, there was also the intrusion of the "Queen of Eternal Night" Margaret.

So far, approximately 25%-40% of the population has been wiped out.

The core of the core: three quarters of the population of Wittenberg were killed, 65 percent of the population of Pomerania were killed, and a quarter of the population of Silesia were killed.
These are just the figures from the main war zones. There are also some small towns in remote corners that have become ghost towns due to the death of so many people.

You have to know that the total population of the empire is only 30 million.

The conflicts caused by religious wars are difficult to reconcile. So many people have died but the conflicts have not been resolved. In fact, this is just the beginning. If there is no intervention from a creator-level power, it would be normal for the conflict to last another 20 to 30 years.

With the two queens of the Kingdom of Castile having decided the winner and the throne having been decided, this Orthodox die-hard should soon join in.

Other Protestant countries would never sit idly by and watch the Protestant princes in the empire fall.

At that time, the [Saints] whose status is almost comparable to that of two crowns and who can crush normal kings will definitely come down in person with the [Spear of Longinus], [Crown of Thorns], [Holy Grail], [True Cross], [Ark of the Covenant] and other level-0 holy relics.

It is foreseeable that it will eventually evolve into the "First World War" of the Silver Continent.

The world will not end until the big and small kings and the new "captain" of the world are separated.

At the same time, the wars and conflicts across the entire continent from east to west have already torn apart human society in various ways, and religious thoughts and nationalism have risen.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Byron, the "Messiah", the five Gulf nations, which would now most likely be conquered by the colonists, would probably be living even worse than them.

From the perspective of an outsider, with external enemies nearby, we should first put aside our prejudices and establish a united front to fight the enemy together.

But if all human beings were so rational, the world would have been peaceful long ago, and there would be no situation where "pacifying the country before fighting foreign enemies" would occur, which would allow foreign enemies to take advantage of the opportunity to expand their power.

For a civilization that lasts long enough, there is nothing new in history.

However, since the emperor of the empire and the saints of the orthodox and new churches have implemented this strategy, they must bear the consequences of this strategy.

In particular, the Orthodox Church has returned to its old ways from the Dark Millennium, fighting this "counterinsurgency" war with a bloody suppression model.

And every human being is a node of the law. After many city-states were killed and turned into a wasteland, even the legal network began to be intermittent.

[Silver Law] has weakened to its lowest point since the Silver Age, with holes everywhere with no signal.

The effect of suppressing evil spirits and weird things is almost zero.

Once night falls, evil spirits and monsters that have been extinct for hundreds of years reappear one after another.

To make matters worse, even the plague began to spread once again.

People were walking together on the road, and the person next to them would suddenly fall down and never get up again.

You dare not cry when your loved ones die, because there are green ghost lights and shadows everywhere under the night sky, and the occasional crows and dogs barking, which makes you wonder if you have arrived in the ghost realm.

After a long time, it was even impossible to tell whether they were humans or evil spirits, and every city was filled with an atmosphere of death and despair.

Wherever the believers arrive is the realm of God. Since there is a systemic deficiency, they can only mobilize the clergy to fill it with manpower.

The firefighters traveled throughout the empire carrying various holy relics and rare objects to make up for the losses to the greatest extent possible.

"The Sacred Heart is filled with the infinite mercy of the Creator, loving everyone, removing sins and healing diseases. We pray for the Lord's mercy to heal and comfort the sick and their families."

In a frontline city where the two sides were confronting each other, a team of [Night Watchmen] composed of clergymen and cemetery sequence extraordinary people were moving slowly forward in the gloomy fog, shaking bells in their hands.

In the middle of the team, four judge knights were carrying a coffin, inside which lay a human skeleton shining with precious light.

This is not an adjective. The jade-like skeleton is covered with all kinds of gold, silver and jewels all over.

Dazzling rubies, sapphires, emeralds, pearls, gold, etc. are inlaid in almost every part of the skeleton, making the whole body full of precious brilliance and magnificent.

As the clergy chanted prayers, circles of holy light radiated from the skeleton, like the rising sun in the morning, quickly clearing away the evil aura wherever it passed.

Those inferior new evil spirits didn't even need the help of these clergymen; they just silently melted away in the holy light and died like weeds that no one cared about.

Among the many treasures brought out by clergy from various Orthodox and Protestant cathedrals and religious orders, almost half were similar gemstone corpses.

They are not ordinary people, but the remains left by saints and apostles over the past thousand years. They can be regarded as an alternative kind of "true holy relics".

They were cleansed by devout faith and holy light during their lifetime, and adorned with gems by clergy of the same sect after their death. Basically, all cathedrals that are old enough enshrine similar beings.

In the hands of this Protestant team was Clemens, one of the twelve saints of a generation a thousand years ago.

If Mr. Saint Byron had not taken the forbidden path, he would probably have received the same treatment after he died of old age or in battle.

Of course, Byron didn't think it was a pity.

The [Night Watch] team walked all the way to the edge of the city, and the fourth-level bishop who was leading them stopped.

Because the Orthodox occupied area is in front.

Although the two parties have an agreement not to harm medical staff and night watchmen, they will not seek trouble and risk going to the other party's territory.

"Let's go back."

The bishop had just given the order, and before the team could turn around, a shrill scream suddenly came from the fog on the opposite side:

"Ah! Heretics are trying to steal the holy relics. Send a signal for help!"

They immediately realized that the [Night Watchmen] arranged by the Orthodox Church on the opposite side must have been attacked by an unknown force.

They all looked at the leading bishop.

Logically speaking, they should help when faced with such an external situation, but the two families are now in a state of hostility.

What if the Orthodox army arrived and asked, "Why are you helping us if you are not the one causing the trouble?"

One sentence of divine logic will make these people numb.

Before the Protestant night watchman could make up his mind whether to go over or not, the screams from the opposite side had already become one, mixed with a crazy laugh.

Apparently there seemed to be only one attacker, but his strength far exceeded that of the Night's Watch. From the noise, it was clearly a one-sided massacre.

Then, a female voice with a sonorous tone roared in the night:

“You come to me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts.

Joshua did not pull back his stretched-out spear until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

A ray of iron-blooded holy light burst out, piercing through the bleak fog in the night sky.

It turned into a huge rust-colored cross in mid-air. A strong wind blew, and the fog in the distance was suddenly blown away.

Let them see clearly a heroic nun, who suddenly turned into a red meteor with the sword in her hand and rushed towards the powerful enemy who ambushed them.

The violent airflow behind her extended into two long storm wings, making her speed so fast that it almost broke the sound barrier.

Someone in the team recognized her identity:

"That's the Gunner Sister of the Orthodox branch 'Holy Armed Force Cathedral', the fourth-level heroic bishop Andrea!

She even learned the "Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven". I wonder which angel she converted to?
Now, if I use 'Holy Descent' to deliver the strongest attack comparable to the awakening of the self-god, I should be able to defeat the enemy, right?"

But the next moment, the Crimson Meteor's charge came to an abrupt halt. After a loud bang, the [Gun Cannon Nun] actually shot back and slammed into an already dilapidated building like a cannonball.

The bleak fog that had been dispersed by the strong wind gathered together again, but they could not even see who the enemy was.

"That's. Legend!"

I don't know who suddenly murmured in a low voice.

All of them couldn't help but tremble slightly, some made the sign of the cross on their chest, and some made the sign of a triangle.

Then, slowly back away.

One step, two steps, and he turned around and ran without any orders.

He didn't even notice that the [Saint] Monsieur Clemens in the coffin had lost a jewel-encrusted front tooth due to excessive shaking.

After nearly a year of religious wars, the real Night's Watch suffered heavy losses.

The quality of the personnel transferred later was seriously insufficient, and not everyone could meet the standards of a night watchman.

Organization motto:

"We swear to protect this world and fight against the 'deep sea'!"

"We hide in darkness and have no chance of power!"

"We are the ones who hold the sword, and one day, we will die by the sword!"

The organization itself carries a powerful curse from the Sea of ​​​​Source: "No one has a good end." This means that no one can live to die of old age.

With even the core departments in such a state of disarray, it is no wonder that the Old God Church and various conspirators hiding in the dark have come out one after another to challenge their authority.

Apparently this time is no exception.

Pfft!
[Gun Sister] Andrea was knocked against the outer wall of the building, then bounced back and fell to the ground. She wanted to get up again, but found that she had completely lost consciousness from the chest down.

This means that her spine is most likely broken.

The nun's heart sank immediately. She looked around and saw that all the clergymen she was leading had fallen to the ground, and there was no one left alive.

Beheaded, limbs severed, torn into pieces, all of them died in a horrible way.

Da da da.
There was a sound of footsteps in the depths of the fog. Andrea raised her head and glared at the person, or rather the thing that looked like a person. Then she saw a short clown in colorful clothes, hopping towards her as if he was stepping on springs, with a laughing face that was stiffer than a wooden mask.

Andrea felt a chill in her heart at the first sight of it.

She was obviously only about the height of an eight or nine-year-old child, like a stunted dwarf, but the force of the punch that just knocked her back made her think she had hit a dragon.

But all the unreasonableness completely disappeared when she saw the [Golden Ghost Card] embedded on the clown's forehead.

They also realized who was actually ambushing them.

"The clown of life!"

The dwarf-like clown walked to the middle of the corpses and picked up a large parchment book from the ground.

It looks like a thick brick, with a white monster cowhide cover and mithril edging at the four corners. There is also a gold-plated title on the cover - "Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven"!
And this one is the original version.

The original version of "The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" is the first collection of "divine revelations" received by many devout clergy over thousands of years.

It contains not only the knowledge of the Creator himself, but also the knowledge of all the gods eaten by Him.

Although this book is only a key to open the treasure house of knowledge of the gods, only by completing the first step of the ritual "Angel Coming" can you gradually gain more knowledge from the angels who are in harmony with each other.

Even so, it is a top magic book that is far more powerful than the "Bloody Mary's Gourmet Recipe" in Byron's hand and the "Luoyan City Textbook" in the Deep Dive Church.

It does not exclude any profession or even taboo routes, and is extremely versatile no matter who holds it.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. In addition to having to endure the pull of the gods and the curse of the Creator's "splitting".

The user can only leverage a very small part of the power. A person can only exert corresponding abilities depending on the path he takes.

Unless another being appears who can unify all things and forcibly integrate all powers, no one will be able to unleash its true power.

In addition, the contents inside had long been circulated, so the Orthodox Church treated it as a normal holy relic and gave it to the Night Watch to use for night patrol.

Little did he know that someone had already been eyeing this treasure (Chapter 565).

This thing may be arsenic to some people, but sweet honey to others.

The clown tossed the big book in his hand with satisfaction, chuckled twice, and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. The task was simpler than he had imagined, and he didn't even have to use the backup plan he had prepared.

Andrea seemed to have completely lost the strength to resist, realizing that she was no match for him, but she silently chanted his name in secret:
"The historical corrector who stirs the time and the origin of all changes"

I felt a tingling sensation on my back; even a fatal injury like a broken spine was healing at an extremely fast speed.

Obviously, this Gunner Sister is also a follower of the Ten Thousand Winged Angel and the King of the Wild Hunt.

Ever since Byron’s “Everything Becomes One” state reached 1%, he was able to actively pull people in with the help of the winged angel.

Whether in Orthodoxy or Protestantism, there are countless followers of his hidden in various religious orders, monasteries, and secular churches.

Entry: [My rules are the rules] Modify the rules so that none of his followers have to shout "Praise the Ten Thousand Winged Angel" at every turn. Highly secretive.

No one expected that the Orthodox Church's move to spread "The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" would actually help Byron and make him the biggest winner.

Those clergymen who practice "The Gospel of Heaven" are continuously providing external assistance to the lonely "Ten Thousand Winged Angel".

The longer the delay, the stronger his potential power will be.

It is not entirely hopeless to say to the Pope: “You are not pious.”

It’s a pity that none of Byron’s current living opponents are simple characters.

The nun hadn't even finished reading the three-part honorific name.

Another clown with an exceptionally large build and also a [Golden Joker] stuck on his forehead suddenly walked out from the shadows and stomped on her head with a "crack".

Then the two clowns looked at each other and disappeared out of thin air as if by magic.

Only the last strange laugh was left:

"My Lord asked us to deliver the gift to the man whose name cannot be mentioned, and have him deliver it to the Eastern Continent and give it to the Jackal God.

If we also have the power to [travel], the great [Life-threatening Clown] will definitely not rely on outsiders.

I really want to kill him, ha ha ha."

At the same time in Valhalla, the ninth floor of the Golden Palace of Grazheim.

Violet noticed that Byron beside her was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong here?"

Byron waved his hand to indicate that it had nothing to do with Valhalla:
"It's okay. This is the first time a follower has died in battle. The incarnation has gone to take the first angel of the 'Flower Mountain Kingdom'. I will meet her after I return from the Hall of Heroes."

He raised his head again and continued to observe the giant tree growing out of the center of Glazheim.

After he and Violet became gods, they were finally qualified to enter the ninth floor of Valhalla like Jack Harold, the Whale Hunter.

This is the hall of the gods, with golden walls, bronze gates, green lawns, and white clouds, light, glory, and wisdom.

According to legend, this is the core of the Wanmin pantheon, and the Wanmin's great secret treasure is hidden inside.

Like the Ark of the Mother of Monsters, there is also a big tree in the center of the Golden Palace, which should be the "World Tree" in the legend of the Taiwanese people. There seems to be no difference between the two in essence.

Legend has it that the shaft of the [Guaranteed Hit Spear Gungnir] was made from branches of the World Tree.

However, this world tree is not a real existence like the previous tree of life. It is more like a projection of the scene in the kingdom of Woden, the God of the Wild Hunt, in the collective subconscious.

The so-called "great secret treasure" is just a set of runes carved on a tree trunk.

The above introduces the cause of the Ragnarok in the previous era, as well as the prophecy that the Luoyan era will eventually come, so that the people of Taiwan should make early preparations and push humans to explore the three continents and pass the "Echidna Triangle Circulation" as soon as possible.

And the words “come to me” appeared again.

But it still does not explain where He is.

Just find a place called the "triplet point" and you will find His trace.

Byron couldn't help frowning:
"I hate people who don't speak clearly. Can't you just say it all at once?

And Woden said that the 'Triple Point' is the source of all disasters except for the Sea of ​​​​Source? What on earth is this thing?"

As we all know, the material world is equivalent to a sailboat floating on the sea of ​​source matter. Tiny cracks in the world are beneficial to the world and have created the current extraordinary system.

In Byron's opinion, the world crack that can threaten the gods should be the most powerful level zero crack.

Just like the one that was blown out by the previous generation's [Ancient Sun God] and [Lord of the Four Dimensions of Change] Diwu.

There are far more than one level zero crack.

The coalition forces of the six old god churches besieged the five countries of the Bay Republic in order to tear open the Silver Law that blocked the zero-level rift in the continent, so that the old gods who died outside could crawl back.

But it is hard to explain why the gods died so cleanly. Although the gods above level five in the mythological era were not as exaggerated as the myriad gods, their number was indeed not small.

Despite the huge base number, there are always some individuals who are lucky enough to avoid the great flood or the twilight of the gods.

But the reality is that no one survived, they all died cleanly.

It kills more cleanly than the [Ghost Hand Knife].

The root cause lies in the existence of the "triple point".

Just look at the situation in the sea of ​​human collective subconsciousness and you will know that the countries of the Silver Continent form a continent with faith as the bond, floating on the sea of ​​source.

People like the Wan people, Taino people, and Quechua people are like small islands, banding together to resist the source tides.

This shows that the Sea of ​​​​Source has always been invading the material world from the spiritual world.

As long as the creatures in the material world benefit from the Sea of ​​Element, their awakened spirituality will passively establish a connection with the Sea of ​​Element.

Therefore, all extraordinary beings and creatures with spiritual talents cannot escape, but those lower-level mortals may not be affected.

And the "triple point" is that medium.

“So the ‘triple point’ is the source of this world’s extraordinary system. Everything is three comes from here.

But we still don’t understand what three-phase is.”

Byron pondered over it but had no idea.

Violet, who was standing next to her, pondered for a moment, then stretched out her hand and a ball of water appeared in her fair palm.

The water ball changed continuously. Sometimes it was water, sometimes it was ice, and sometimes it expanded countless times and turned into invisible water vapor.

Then he carefully guessed:
“I do know that matter has three phases: gas, liquid, and solid, and that the three states can both transform into each other and coexist.

The temperature and pressure values ​​at which these three phases coexist are called the triple point!

For example, when water is at its triple point (temperature is 0.01°C, water vapor pressure is 610.5Pa), water, ice, and water vapor can coexist and be in equilibrium with each other.

It can even sublime directly from ice into water vapor without passing through the liquid state.

If it is used to make mummies, it will definitely produce the most lifelike, crispy, and least watery mummy."

After hearing Violet's explanation, Byron was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood.

“Isn’t this the principle used by freeze-drying machines in previous lives to make crispy fruits and vegetables?
The nature of the Sea of ​​​​Source is unknown, but it is indeed manifested in the form of water, and the "triple point" is the largest hole that is leaking from the side of the world ship.

Blind student, you have discovered the highlight!
And there is also a magical triple point in my hometown in my previous life, does this mean it is possible too?"

Thinking of this, the decoding density of [Secret: Prophecy, Kingship, and the Prophecy of Racial Revival by the God of the Wild Hunt, Woden, Historical Influence 69] jumped from 73% to 78%.

Once they have walked through the Corridor of Truth in the Eastern Continent and found the location of the "triple point", they should be able to complete the final solution and achieve racial revival.

It was at this time that the raven sent back an urgent message.

The "traitor" hurriedly left the Old World and set sail!
