Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 584: Recruiting servants, truth materialized

Before the giant that was knocked away fell back into the sea.

collapse!
Another thunder-like bowstring exploded over the sea, and lightning flashed again. The storm giant, incarnated by Byron, had already arrived behind the fire giant.

The [Storm King Seal] in the chest cavity emitted a roar even more violent than that of a level zero whale oil powered steam engine.

The hearts of the nearby marine creatures seemed to be in tune and resonating with the creatures. Their blood vessels ruptured and exploded into bloody mist in many places.

Pull out your elbow! Punch!
The nearby atmosphere was instantly sucked out and then struck out along with the front of Byron's fists.

The air in front was crushed by the fist which was moving at a speed far exceeding the speed of sound before it could escape, creating circles of air explosion rings that could easily tear apart steel and stone.

The waves were flattened, and the white water vapor was surging. With Byron's full force, it turned into hundreds of huge white streamers that rushed out for thousands of meters.

Each white silk seemed to be as light as a feather, but even these unintentional aftermaths were far more powerful than siege crossbows.

In an instant, everything within a few hundred meters, from the crests of the ocean currents to the water vapor in the sky, was shattered.

Wherever the fist reaches, it becomes a life restricted zone.

All six arms of the fire giant had been broken, and the broken ribs could barely protect the flaming heart in his chest. Fortunately, he did not feel any pain, otherwise he would have completely lost his combat effectiveness.

In a hurry, he could only control the rolling flames around him and condense them into six flaming arms according to instinct.

The faint blue light burst out from the heart.

Although the Fire Giant has no intelligence, he can grow into a first-level cursed spirit comparable to a fifth-level pseudo-god, and his fighting experience is far greater than that of Byron, who is only twenty years old.

And most of them become instincts engraved in the bone marrow.

The waving of the six limbs was accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, like a flaming whip that was moving faster and faster from tail to tip, from thick to thin, trying to make up for the lack of its own skills by outnumbering others.

call out!call out!call out!
The wind was howling, the heat waves were rolling, and the sea water was about to be boiled in an instant by the six long whips.

The methane mines on the seafloor, which have been dormant for who knows how many years, also release an endless amount of bubbles, boosting the power of the [Furnace Core].

Byron borrowed the power of the storm, and the cursed spirit that had occupied the underwater veins for many years also showed no weakness and borrowed the power of the methane veins. After all, this was its home ground.

The two giants turned the sea upside down with ease, and the Golden Deer, which was watching the battle nearby, had to retreat again and again.

Violet immediately gave the order:
"Extinguish all open flames on board."

This one command revealed the flaws of the mass line.

It would be fine if someone could withstand a strong enemy, but if the collective system collapsed, marsh gas, tsunamis, or even slightly stronger natural disasters could wipe them out.

Fortunately, this time the opponent is not enough to make them nervous.

Thunder and fire exploded in the sky and on the earth.

Although the fire giant has six arms, it can't keep up with Byron's speed when facing his two arms.

The flames collapsed, the energy dissipated, and the shoulder blades cracked
From the outset, Byron’s punches and kicks far outpaced the heavy coastal artillery’s salvos.

When the fists pass through the magnetic field coil, they accelerate each time they pass through, and as the cycle repeats, the speed of the fists becomes faster and faster, and more and more powerful.

Byron threw himself into it with great concentration, and his spiritual realm of "everything becomes one" by 2% continued to rise.

2.12.22.4
His understanding of his own magic [Magnetic Slingshot] is getting deeper and deeper, and he can understand the most subtle changes in the surrounding magnetic field.

This is the unique power that intelligent creatures represented by humans in the material world can master even without the Sea of ​​​​Source. It is also a prerequisite for becoming "the one from which all things return to one."

After stepping into the divine realm, even if you only focus on accumulating power, you are not afraid of mixed power.

As long as the spiritual realm can keep up, the use of moves and powers can be perfect with just a move of the hands and feet.

Just at this moment, a series of mysteries of Storm Swordsmanship: Fingertip Gun, Unthinking Spin Slash, Equality of All Beings, Peacock Feather, and Battering Ram flowed through Byron's heart one by one.

These mortal mysteries were obviously outdated to him.

But in the chaos of the battle with high concentration, Byron was able to easily innovate, and gradually perfected a new secret that best suited him within three moves and two styles.

And there is great potential to be tapped, and the first gear is just the beginning.

"breathe-"

In order to help those mass-produced soldiers awaken the "Flow" as quickly as possible, Byron's most researched subject is [Breathing Method·Storm King Seal].

It was planned to be simplified and passed on to soldiers and whale oil mechanics.

Let them imitate the knight's fourth-level dragon taming technique and use it to control [artificial corpses], automated assembly lines, steam battleships, steam locomotives, and other mechanical creations.

Now he takes the [Storm King Seal] that integrates the internal and external magnetic fields as the core, with his own body magnetic field as the cathode and the magnetic field of the outside world as the anode.

Using binary opposition, mobilize the "one" that is the origin of all changes.

On the surface it looks like a magnetic storm, but in essence it is an extension of the power of [change].

So even though it is an explosive "overload" state, everything is under Byron's control, and it will never affect its own "service life".

It is not difficult to set the lead time and warning value in advance.

Of course, such a tactic is not something that the legends of the Lancaster family and the Knights of the Storm could not think of.

The main thing is that even with the power of the crowd, the normal human body cannot use it.

Walking on three legs not only maintained absolute balance and stability, but also allowed Byron to gain advantages along the way.

From then on, it was no longer just three fifth-order entities that were equivalent to one plus one plus one equaling three, but a fusion of three parties, using skills at the fifth-order to steal a trace of the sixth-order power.

They are probably not weaker than those "saints" who are just below the Pope, and may even surpass them.

In just a short period of time, he delivered hundreds or thousands of heavy punches, and the fire giant's body was almost extinguished by flames.

".Song of me, row after row, North Sea Empire Grenadiers.

Whenever the order was given, we would charge bravely to destroy the enemy's fortifications.

The captain prepared the detonator and we lit the grenade.

Climb up the embankment and throw it with all your might, hitting the enemy near his ear."

At some point, the "Grenadiers' March" played by the symphony orchestra once again echoed over the sea area, and five thousand soldiers sang in unison.

The tune is cheerful and the singing is particularly sonorous.

Combined with Byron's increasingly heavy iron fists, it left a strong psychological trauma on the fire giant.

Even as the mud and rotten bones in his body collapsed one after another, his strength and animal side suffered severe damage, but his eyes, which were originally hazy, actually became a little clearer and there was a hint of fear.

But at this time.

The beating [Storm King Seal] in Byron's chest quietly turned red, like a warning light, and the beating frequency suddenly became rapid.

The flaming heart in the giant's chest had completely dissipated ahead of time and was crumbling in the storm.

At this moment, he clearly realized for the first time that Byron's work, which incorporated the mysteries of "The Crucible", had finally come to an end. He seemed to have hope of continuing to live, without having to wait for the resurrection cycle of several years or even more than ten years.

But Byron smiled at it calmly:
"As we all know, just like when writing a novel, the deadline for submission is the climax of the burst of creativity. Similarly, when the indicator light is counting down, that is the moment when the Giant of Light is at its strongest!"

Bang!
With the last punch, Byron borrowed the power from the giant and soared into the sky.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
Then, more passionate war drum sounds echoed in the sky.

In the distance, the crew members on the Golden Deer had their hair standing on end. They opened their eyes wide and could see with their naked eyes the layers of golden magnetic field lines appearing in the dark sky.

The entire sky turned into a large net of golden lines that did not intersect with each other.

When Byron rose to the highest point, he suddenly stepped on the center of the magnetic net. When the energy was converted, the net suddenly sank to the extreme and instantly bounced him back.

However, he used himself as the spearhead and the entire sky as a slingshot, launching the strongest attack from the sky at the giant standing stiffly on the sea.

"Hoo, giant drums!"

A straight line of lightning seemed like an axe that created the world, slashing down from the sky.

The explosive shock waves spread out in circles, and the dark clouds in the sky suddenly spread out to form a huge circular hole.

The giant didn't even have time to dodge before the brilliant lightning had already landed on his head. Byron held the red royal seal that he had spit out again in both hands and smashed it down hard.

Boom——! ! !
Da Yin Xisheng.

Everything seemed to be moving extra slowly.

The legendary weapon from Byron's previous life, the "Rod of God", is a huge joke.

But his palm technique of dropping from the sky can make all the enemies facing him stop laughing.

Even the soldiers on the Golden Deer couldn't help but cover their ears tightly and close their eyes, but they could still see a dazzling ball of light rising through their eyelids.

The shock wave tore apart everything in the core explosion area. Countless amounts of sea water rushed into the sky, and then the power gradually decreased, but it still formed a fierce hurricane tsunami.

The Golden Deer automatically turned its bow toward the waves without any command and shook violently for a while before regaining its composure.

The surviving crew members looked at the vast sea in front of them, which seemed like a natural disaster, and remained speechless for a long time.

Finally, they tapped their chests three times, forming the golden triangle holy emblem, and said:

"Praise Saint Byron!"

The most primitive beliefs of mankind were born because our ancestors realized their own powerlessness in the face of various natural disasters and were forced to seek spiritual comfort.

Most of the first gods were born out of fear, not worship.

Apart from encountering the law-breaking ability of [The King's Army], Byron at this time is a well-deserved human-shaped disaster!
Boom!
The Golden Deer sank suddenly.

A huge black and red skull was thrown out of the water.

Then Byron, who had regained his human form, fell next to the skull. His breathing was still a little rapid. The burden of the new secret was indeed not small.

Violet, who felt sorry for her husband, and Hathaway, who felt sorry for their son, rushed forward to support him. However, Byron's face turned red again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If he didn't launch an extreme burst, relying on the new [Storm King Seal] integration, he wouldn't even need to eat or drink water. He could just stand there and naturally obtain energy from the world itself to replenish his consumption.

When eating, you don’t have to taste the series of “Ke’s dishes” improved by Alfred. Just put four empty plates and you will have a big meal.

A plate of northwest wind, a plate of southeast wind, a plate of northeast wind, and a plate of southwest wind are enough for him to eat until he is full.

It’s so rich!

Byron smiled at his wife and mother:
"I didn't kill the swamp giant. Aren't you worried about the safety of the route? Aren't the scavengers who can regularly patrol the route coming here?"

The entire body of the cursed spirit was beaten into ashes by the giant's drum, but its head was relatively intact under Byron's intentional control.

Moreover, affected by the "Grenadiers' March", the [Disheartened] effect was forcibly locked after the defeat.

A faint soul fire flickered in the empty eye sockets, conveying a clear emotion of fear when Byron approached it.

It seemed like a blessing in disguise, as after getting rid of the mud and various burdens on his body, he unexpectedly regained some of his sanity and became able to communicate.

Byron patted its head, a look of joy on his face:
“When you feel sleepy, here comes the pillow.

I was just talking about giving the pirates in Black Sail Port a new job of collecting tolls, and I was worried that they wouldn't be able to keep the situation under control. You came at the right time.

There is no one more suitable than you for the positions of Double Flower Red Stick, Scavenger, and Black Gloves."

There is a famous saying in the Kingdom of Castile:

“Whoever controls the ocean controls trade; whoever controls the world’s trade controls the world’s wealth, and ultimately controls the world itself!”

According to conservative estimates, it will take several decades or even generations for the Spiral Annihilation Era to truly arrive.

Before this, Byron wanted to control the material world and unite all the forces that could be united, and the "Echidna Triangle", a natural waterway connecting three continents, was the top priority.

The Swamp Giant is obviously the chosen worker to guard the waterway.

"It has been like this since ancient times for people to be recruited for murder and arson.

You should just be a lieutenant in the millions of heavenly soldiers under my Huashan Heavenly Kingdom. This title is too impressive and you don't deserve it.

Even though they are all being recruited, people are still different.

Since your brain is completely rotten, I might as well call you: brainless. "

He took out the "Faust Contract", put some ink on its forehead, and pressed its head to sign the contract.

This cursed spirit, which was originally a dead spirit, was transformed into a [Wild Hunt Servant], which is also the second fifth-level servant after [Abyss Nightmare] Dagon.

He easily obtained the complete forbidden knowledge "The Core of the Furnace" from its soul.

After taking a quick glance and memorizing it completely, he passed it to Violet, who also had a great understanding of this knowledge. She looked at the turbid sea with a hint of longing in her eyes:

“I don’t know what the old gods [Master Maker] and [Minotaur] are like now, and whether they have regained their sanity like the Jackal God.

If we can find the other person's body in the Sea of ​​​​Source.

As long as you get rid of the guards' followers, they might be able to help you snatch one or two [Priesthoods]. [Forging] and [Fire] are both very good.

Just a little modification and you can use it right away, which is much more time-saving and labor-saving than slowly compiling it yourself."

Speaking of seizing the [priesthood] of the old gods, the eyes of the people around lit up.

Especially Hathaway who was standing next to Byron, her beautiful big eyes were full of little stars when she looked at her son's profile, as if she saw her favorite little bear biscuits.

Byron said quickly:
"Mom is also involved. You were a fourth-order mythical creature twenty years ago. Although your transcendental system is different from ours, you should be close to becoming a fifth-order subordinate god, right?"

Since I was going to the Eastern Continent, I learned a lot about the supernatural world from Hathaway and Salant.

With the life essence of a fifth-order pseudo-god supporting them, some secrets that could kill mortals on the spot no longer have any effect on them.

Snapped!
Hathaway snapped her fingers, her brows lit up, and a large magic book appeared in front of her.

The silver cover has a picture of a small town with a crescent moon as the background. When it flips open, it reveals a series of fairy tale witchcraft.

The last one is her own story "The Little Mermaid".

“It’s almost there. We’re only one step away from reaching the High Sequence level—becoming a fairy tale.

We need to return to the Corridor of Truth to finish it."

Because knowledge is so activated, the power system of the Corridor of Truth is different from other places.

They have the most stringent qualification requirements, the smallest number, but are also the most like the wizards who pursue truth as recorded in ancient texts.

The basic organizational units are not churches and associations but academic schools.

Motto: "Knowledge is power. Give me a fulcrum and I can move the world."

They did not have the [Silver Law] and [Golden Law] as anchors, so naturally no one dared to learn the [Bloodline Codex] of the old gods, but they created a magic book of their own.

Ms. Leech and Doctor Murder who were accompanying them were seeing this novel supernatural system for the first time.

Thinking of what Byron said to them before he left, "The East Continent's extraordinary system is more suitable for you," I couldn't help but think deeply.

The [Sea Mage] Salant next to him glanced at his companions, raised his chin slightly, and said with some pride:

"Everyone knows that every complete forbidden book comes from an old god.

But do you know where the first forbidden books came from in the Paleozoic and early Mythological eras?"

Everyone pricked up their ears at the chance to learn about the origin-level extraordinary knowledge.

Salant glanced at his aunt, and after getting her approval, he explained to everyone:
“We do not learn ready-made forbidden knowledge, but as truth seekers we explore those knowledge that the old gods have not yet mastered and contaminated, and piece together unprecedented concepts and truths.

For example, my sister-in-law's whale oil industry, mechanical knowledge, dynamics, combustion reaction, and other series of knowledge can eventually be combined into a 'whale oil powered steam engine'.

This ultimate concept and truth is called "Truth Concrete" by various major schools of thought!
It is also the original source of the world's forbidden books.

Just like humans and the Creator signed the Ten Commandments, if we sign a contract with our own selfless truth that represents absolute order, we can greatly improve our safety.

In addition to the Storybrooke School that my aunt joined, there are also the Emerald Record School, the Clock Tower School, the Prism School, the Golem School, and many other major schools.

Thanks to them, the Corridor of Truth has not been completely transformed into a human breeding ground for old gods and activated knowledge.

Members of the school each have their own areas and branches of study, and use this knowledge to create a magic book of their own to provide them with an anchor.

The concreteness of truth extracts commonalities to the maximum extent possible, allowing members to serve as anchors for each other.

To make an analogy, it is like the Lighthouse of Pharos and the lantern bearers.

We can also take advantage of the fact that knowledge is passed on to different people, sell one soul to multiple people, steal the knowledge of other higher-level beings, and use it to pull each other to achieve a balance.

It can also have a place in many countries ruled by active knowledge."

Byron called [Ms. Leech] and [Doctor Murderer] to come together so that they could respectively draw upon the forbidden knowledge of Lilith, the Mother of Creation, and Hydra, the Thousand-Faced Serpent, and establish their own schools.

A surgeon and a life engineer, each of them has mastered "Anatomy" and "Genetics", which are fields that the old gods have not set foot in, and are enough to piece together a brand new concept.

He occupied a piece of land in the eastern continent and became the king, contributing to Byron's title of "Sun King" and the semi-god ritual "World Change".

It is even possible to steal the power of the two old gods in turn.

“The Extraordinary System is really good.

But I have a question, Salant, why do you only know the Flash spell?"

Upon hearing this, the smug Salant suddenly froze, turned around and saw that it was the [Honest Man] Eight Fingers who spoke, and suppressed his anger again.

If it were someone else, Salant would definitely use the "Mace Technique" to let him know what a wizard's anger was, but he had no temper at all towards such a straightforward and honest man.

Unfortunately, since ancient times, the truth spoken by honest people is the most hurtful.

His face was filled with sorrow, and the background behind him dimmed, as if he was a loser in life.

It will always be a pain in his heart that he can only learn the "Flash Technique" in his entire life.

But he has no research talent, can't write a paper, and can't find the boundaries of human cognition. He is also helpless!

Byron shook his head, unable to bear to look at his little brother who had dreamed of becoming a wizard all his life but had only the fate of a berserker.

Seriously consider the [Clergy] that is suitable for Hathaway.

Her magic book and secret spells are Alice's Pillow Book of Fairy Tales, and the most suitable priesthood for her is naturally [Dream] or [Moon].

There is no need for complete moon power. As long as one can obtain a [New Moon] priesthood, it is enough to send Hathaway to the throne of god.

It is said that in the ancient pantheons, when the main god promoted a subordinate god, he would grant the appropriate priesthood, allowing the other party to be directly anchored in his own kingdom of God and ascend to heaven in an instant.

It is said that the various professions in the major sequences of the [King's Title] and the Ladder of Glory originally originated from the priesthood of the gods.

The subordinate gods in the kingdom of God assist the main god and together they form a pantheon.

The [title of king] is precisely the most powerful [royal power] among the personalities of God, which is why it has become the number one position among all professions.

Byron felt that with the stability of the three-in-one [Flower Mountain Heaven], [Golden Mist Palace], and [Pyramid], once it was upgraded to become a real kingdom of God, it would be enough to accommodate a large number of subordinate gods.

It is certainly good to be high above, but after a long time, all your relatives will turn into dust, then wouldn’t it be a waste of time to be a god?

Of course, it would be too frivolous to suddenly have the urge to go to the depths of the Sea of ​​Origin to take the corpses of the old gods.

Byron only regards it as an alternative option and will see how the situation develops later.

The [Golden Deer] continued to accelerate forward, and half a day later, Byron estimated that he was about to catch up with the "traitor".

Delia, the third-level [Navigator] on the ship, suddenly raised the whale oil lantern in her hand and reminded him:

"Captain, there is a distress signal ahead!"
