Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 634: Failed sworn brotherhood: First respectful then arrogant, making people laugh
"Come on, brother Byron, I have ready-made ritual props in my kingdom of God."

The whale hunter raised his hand and activated the spatial ability of the [Rift Whale]. A rift connecting to the kingdom of God in its belly appeared in front of the three people.

The crack opened up, revealing a large arch made of two semicircular pieces of turf. In the center was placed a spear that was shining with a cold light and had no trace of rust.

The extraordinary people in the era of cold weapons have enough understanding of injuries.

Sworn brothers do not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but if they die of tetanus on the same day of the same month of the same year, it will really become a joke in hell.

A large mug of mead was placed on a small table beneath the spear.

This is the "blood covenant ceremony" of the Taiwanese people.

The sworn brothers who had no blood relationship in the past entered the archway together and stabbed their bodies with spears together, letting their blood drip into the mead.

Then they drink the same cup of mead mixed with everyone's blood, and swear an oath to the gods or the rules of the world itself, such as the "River Styx". Finally, the sworn brothers shake hands with each other to end the ceremony.

From then on they became sworn brothers who were as close as real brothers.

They will stick together like a family, helping each other and benefiting each other, and will never hurt each other. Even if one of them is hurt, the other must avenge it.

So if we think about it from a different perspective, the "blood alliance" can be a disguised way of achieving an unbreakable oath.

This is one of the cheapest ways to ensure that no problems will arise from a stranger with unclear motives in the Silver Continent.

In the late Mythological Age and early Silver Age, when barbarians were rampant and there was no trust, this ritual was widely used and eventually allowed many barbarian tribes to complete a preliminary integration.

When Byron saw the two eager faces, he immediately realized that it was not only because of his strong strength and the experience of fighting side by side that they were attracted to each other.

The fact that they are not completely confident in themselves is also an important factor in their eagerness to become sworn brothers!

The York family was able to abandon tradition and completely embrace the Creator, and the "Bay Exiles" were able to betray the Harold family and convert to the Sleeping God. Naturally, it is not impossible for other direct descendants of the Bay people to betray humanity.

The Mermaid Kingdom is in a difficult situation now, and any negligence may lead to an irreparable disaster.

Since they have been able to hold out until now despite the repeated bombardments of the blood beast's lair and Noah's Ark, it is obvious that both [Sea King] Atlas and [Whale Hunter] Jack have long developed the good habit of acting cautiously.

When Byron came to his senses, he was half pushed and half dragged into the archway by two people on his left and right.

It's obvious from the look of things that we have identified you as our third brother!
The whale hunter walked and exclaimed:

“Third brother, I know almost all the members of the Lancaster royal family who are of the same generation as Henry VI.

It's really amazing that you, a rising star, can be promoted to the fifth level at the age of less than 30.

I like making friends with young talents like you. Seeing you is like seeing the future of us Taiwanese people."

Byron thought:

'Sister-in-law, oh no, my mother-in-law said the same thing. Father-in-law, I hope you can still appreciate me as much as you do now.'

Atlas beside him also said with a red face:
“Third brother, none of my children and grandchildren are any good. After so many years, not a single one has been able to advance to the fifth level. It’s all thanks to my almost 400-year-old bones that they are able to survive.

Sometimes I often wonder, if it would be different if I had welcomed into my Crystal Palace that goddess from the Desert Empire who wanted to ride on men's heads and always called me "Queen".

Forget it, let’s not talk about this.

After we become sworn brothers, I will teach you a series of promotion rituals of our Crystal Palace School, and introduce you to a few princesses of the Tudor royal family.

If you can find someone you like and get married, that would be great.

The girls in the mermaid tribe are all extremely beautiful, especially my niece, who is only slightly less beautiful than my daughter was back then.

Your trip will definitely be worthwhile.

If Jack hadn't already had a wife and daughter at home, this good thing might not have happened to you."

Byron didn't know what to say, and subconsciously shrank his neck:
'Blood oaths, marriage alliances, these are indeed the usual tactics used by forces to form alliances.

But old man, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Introducing my mother's cousin to me? Is it so exciting right from the start?

My mother will definitely break my legs, right?

To be honest, Byron had no feelings for his beautiful aunt at all, and his heart was not much moved.

Having two first-class beautiful queens and an empress with the title of "the most beautiful woman in the world" is enough for him to enjoy all the good fortunes.

The main thing is, which man can resist the temptation of being on good terms with his father-in-law and becoming a perfect friend?

Drinking too much at the New Year's dinner table has always been one of the most common "accidents" between father-in-law and son-in-law, but whether it was intentional or deliberate, only the sons-in-law themselves know.

'Well, anyway, my mother hasn't hit me for three days.

I might as well just be half-hearted here, and if I get caught later, I can say that you guys forced me to come here and I knew nothing at all.'

As the sharp tip of the spear was getting closer, the smug smile on Byron's face became increasingly difficult to conceal.

It’s a pity that at this time, some people in God’s kingdom could no longer hold back.

Space fluctuations suddenly appeared around Byron.

[Sea King] Atlas and [Whale Hunter] Jack, who had not completely let down their guard, felt nervous, thinking that Byron really had bad intentions.

They quickly let him go and each of them flew away.

But the next moment, when they saw two girls jumping out of thin air beside Byron, they were all petrified on the spot.

"Hathaway?!!"

“Violet?!!”

As soon as two "girls" who looked about the same age jumped out, one of them reached out and grabbed Byron's ear, while the other raised her little foot in crystal high heels and kicked him on the calf.

"Oh, spare me, spare me, I won't dare to do it again."

The two girls stopped only when he pretended to cry out for mercy in pain.

Then she turned her head to look at Byron's "eldest brother" and "second brother" beside her, and tears suddenly filled her eyes on two faces that were more beautiful than flowers.

Then each of them pounced on a man whose face was filled with surprise but at a loss as to what to do.

"father!"

"Father!"

Long before the operation began, Violet and Hathaway were waiting in Huashan Paradise, ready to help at any time.

They witnessed everything Byron went through through their shared senses.

Seeing his father whom he hadn't seen for many years, he couldn't contain his excitement. What's more, Byron, this lawless and abominable guy, actually dared to take advantage of his fathers.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rushed out together.

The two pairs of father and daughter have been separated for more than ten or twenty years, but the years have not left any traces on this group of fifth-order pseudo-gods who have gained immortality.

Although the past of separation of family members is unfortunate.

But in this extraordinary world, even time has to show some leniency to these gods.

Otherwise, if it were in the mortal world, one would have been in the grave and the other outside the grave.

Jack Harold, who was originally a tough guy, was so excited that he was incoherent while holding his daughter's hand:

"Baby, I'm not dreaming, am I?
I asked you to take the job of [Craftsman] because I didn't want you to get involved in the muddy waters of the Lighthouse Sequence, but I didn't expect that you would still go out to sea and find me here on your own.

I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry to you and Vanessa. I found the clues left by the Wild Hunt, and wanted to return to Anchor Bay to find you after finding the 'Triple Point'.

I didn’t expect the blood beast’s lair to launch a general attack, and it was difficult to escape at this time.”

Violet did not interrupt, but listened quietly with a smile on her face as her old father talked about his experiences over the years.

On the other side, the sea king Atlas' eyes were red. He pulled the little mermaid to look at her carefully. He couldn't see enough and his voice was choked with sobs:
"Hathaway, my beloved little princess, I thought I would never see you again in this life.

I never dreamed that one day you would suddenly fly back to me like a little lark."

It is obvious that these are two daughter slaves.

Unlike Violet and Hathaway, who had a clear goal and knew their father was here, the two men suddenly received a huge surprise they had been dreaming about for a long time, and it took them a while to calm down.

He also realized that Byron's hesitation before the blood covenant ceremony was not out of ill intention, but rather had other hidden motives.

Especially since his daughters appeared here with him, Byron's motive suddenly became reasonable. He was helping his daughters find their father.

But after the excitement, he regained his senses, and when he thought of the scene where his daughter was extremely intimate with him just now, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

The two of them each held their daughter's hands tightly, and with a one in a billion chance of success, they said in unison:

"Third brother, you and Violet (Hathaway) are not..."

Before his mother and the eldest daughter could raise their eyebrows, Byron quickly made a stop gesture.

I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry.

He first waved his hand at the old sea king and firmly denied:

"Da Ke, please don't misunderstand me."

Atlas thought that what he was worried about did not happen, and his little cotton jacket was not leaking.

Just when I put my heart back into my stomach, I heard my "third brother" continue to say:
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and you have to find someone to blame for this. If you want to kill or chop him up, go get him, Grandpa!"

For a moment, the old man's face showed a wonderful expression. His lips moved for a while and he uttered a word:

"Grandpa?"

Atlas no longer knew whether to cry or laugh.

Good news, this is not yellow hair.

Bad news, this is Huangmao and his daughter’s son.

The "third brother" who descended from the sky at the critical moment turned out to be his daughter's son and his own grandson?
Thinking back to the time before he sent Hathaway away, he still clearly remembered that his daughter vowed to find reinforcements to save the Mermaid Kingdom.

It looks like there's a high probability that they won't find it in the end, so why not just give birth to a reinforcement?
At this moment, even if he wanted to kill the thief who stole his daughter, the culprit was not here at all. It was like punching into the air, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

As the [King of the Sea] of a country, he should be happy, but as a father, only he himself knows the bitterness.

Jack Harold next to him finally turned his eyes away from Violet and glanced at Hathaway, who looked familiar to him just now.

But he was shocked to find that she was the mermaid sleeping on the eighth floor of Valhalla. It was from her scattered memories that he found the coordinates of Noah's Ark (Chapter 498).

At that time, no one knew the identity and origin of this mermaid, nor did anyone know why the soul of a mermaid would sleep in the Hall of Valor of the Bay people after her death. Now everything finally has an answer.

Combining Byron's surname with the limited number of young people of marriageable age in the Lancaster royal family and their marital status, the cause and effect of the matter became immediately clear.

Just as he was about to utter, "You are the princess of Prince Sorenburg? Aren't you dead?"

Then Byron looked at him again, but this time he did not deny it like he did just now.

Instead, she nodded vigorously to him with a bright smile:

“Father-in-law, it is exactly as you thought. Violet has married me, and my mother-in-law was rescued from the Maltese convent by me.

Just wait another half a year and you will be promoted to a grandfather. Are you surprised? Are you happy?
Besides, I'm ready, just come on."

My eldest brother's daughter is my mother, and my second brother's daughter is my wife. Exciting!

Not only Byron felt it was exciting, but the Whale Hunter also felt it was very exciting and immediately forgot about the mermaid.

Good news, Huangmao is right in front of us.

Bad news, Huangmao and his daughter even have a child.

Bringing the ball to the goal and shooting the ball wide, I think there is no old father who would not find it exciting.

Hearing this, it was like hearing, "Old Deng, is it safe for my pirate ship to stop here?"

Third brother? Damn you, you thief!

It’s hard, the fist is completely hard!

But the whale hunter was just deflated by his daughter's pulling of his sleeves, and he bit his back teeth hard and praised Byron:

"You are such a good guy! You actually stole the home of the East Coast Pirate King. The pirate profession has flourished in your hands."

Byron didn't care.

I just felt that I had only been the "third brother" for a few minutes and already I became "your kid", and I didn't even have time to savor the moment.

"This old man is really polite at first but arrogant later. It's really funny!"

However, although Jack Harold was held back by Violet and could not let Byron taste the iron fist of his father-in-law's "defense-breaking" fist, he suddenly said:
"By the way, is Violet pregnant with a son or a daughter for you?"

Byron hadn't realized the problem yet, and said proudly with a bright face:

"Of course she is the cutest daughter in the world."

Lao Deng didn't say anything, but just smiled sinisterly:

"Humph."

A sneer represented a thousand words, which made Byron shudder and wake up immediately.

I realized a serious problem that I had never thought of before.

My eldest brother’s home was stolen by my father, and my second brother’s home was stolen by me. Does this mean that in the future, I, who already has two daughters, will also have my home stolen?
puff!

Thousands of arrows pierce the heart.

Although I didn't get hit by a single punch today, the psychological damage was like a critical hit, and I subconsciously covered my heart.

After the whale hunter finished laughing, there was not much pleasure of revenge on his face, because the yellow-haired daughter was also his granddaughter!
Thinking of this, he silently covered his heart.

[Aquaman] Atlas lived for 400 years, experienced the most storms, and was the first to come to his senses.

It is a good thing that the three brothers who were originally going to hold a blood pact suddenly became a real family.

He looked at his second and third brothers who suddenly became confused, bah, it was his grandson and his father-in-law, and sighed:

“These two guys are so childish.

Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s talk about our own affairs. Fortunately, the ceremony has not started, so this third brother does not count, and my reputation has been preserved.”

Then his face suddenly became more lively:
“But I still have to say that a twenty-year-old false god can still force back the powerful incarnation of the Mother of Monsters. My grandson is really a top talent!
This must be because I inherited my old man’s excellent bloodline, hahahaha.”

After thinking about it this way, I finally felt a lot better.

After the family calmed down, they sat down again.

Hathaway and Violet also told them about their experiences over the years and the changes in the outside world.

The two fathers gained confidence after hearing their daughters' stories, especially when they learned that Byron carried with him three interconnected kingdoms of God, which were large enough to accommodate the remnants of the Mermaid Kingdom, the Jellyfish Kingdom, and the other eight underwater kingdoms.

The lawless pirate king [Whale Hunter] is even more eager to try:
“The chaos among the old gods in the material world is both a crisis and an opportunity!

Just like a seed with infinite possibilities, it is possible that a giant crocodile like the [Funeral God] will be raised, just like during the Black Death.

But if handled well, these priesthoods may also lead to a surge in the number of human demigods in the material world.

It is a godsend opportunity for us to take a step further.

Now that we have a way out, we can let go and do our best.”

Later, when Violet proposed the plan to reforge the Pirate Emperor's [Crown], she passed the throne of Anchor Bay to her daughter without any regrets.

The Whaler does not have the ability [Gathering Small Things to Make a Coarse] that Byron obtained from the Holy Relic Jenny Machine. The King is almost like a decoration after leaving his own land.

He was pursuing the secret of the rejuvenation of the people of Taiwan, and now that he saw the hope of accomplishing this step with his own hands, he had no resistance to the explosion of gold coins.

Anyway, it will be passed on to my lovely daughter to whom I owe a lot, not to some yellow-haired guy.

By this time, he had come to his senses and to be honest, even if he searched the entire Silver Continent, he would not find a young man better than Byron and more suitable for his daughter to marry.

Byron also saved his beloved wife Vanessa and helped himself get rid of his last hidden worry.

The whale hunter looked at his daughter and son-in-law, and the prophecy that he had been pursuing for half his life and had almost turned into an obsession came to his mind again:

“In the Imperial Age, the Bay People were still chasing wild deer in the forests of the Evernight Peninsula. Hundreds of years later, they will be chasing the entire Silver Continent.

They conquered the continent by force, but were conquered by pagan beliefs. The glory of the Beidiwan people sank into the deepest part of the ocean.

But one day it will be reawakened by blood and fire!
My right eye will witness everything.”

For the first time, I had a strong premonition that the blood and flames represented my son-in-law and daughter.

He can afford a mere crown as a dowry!
Things were going well, and Violet and Byron smiled at each other.

They have the trinity of the [Golden Triangle], and the crown looks the same no matter who wears it.

With the crown of Anchor Bay in place, the five crowns of the five Bay Citizens were completely collected.

Only the last piece of the puzzle, the Pirate Code, is left to officially crown the most powerful person below demigod - the Pirate Emperor.

While the family was renovating, the place outside was already in chaos.

The raven Fujin faithfully transmitted back the scenes of the chaotic battle.

In addition to the [human] incarnation of Lilith and the [nightmare] incarnation of Kraken, which Byron had already seen.

The other four incarnations of the Old Gods also broke through the outer cannon fodder blockade one after another and descended on the battlefield alone, trying to prevent the Mother of Monsters from getting there first.

The first to arrive was Sananos, the main god worshipped by the Druids, the God of Plenty and the Horned One.

At the end of the mythological era, this ancient old god, who was closely anchored in nature, adhered to the ways of nature but never paid attention to developing human believers, was the first to lose balance and fell into the chaotic bestial side.

From a neutral god who had nothing to do with the matter, he fell overnight and became the core minion of the Sea of ​​Element's invasion of the material world.

It can be said that Sananos is the first old god in the material world to embrace the Sea of ​​​​Source. No one knows what gift he got from the Sea of ​​​​Source.

He has many priesthoods, the known ones are: [Nature], [Wilderness], [Harvest], [Animals], [Herbs], [Life], etc. He has the potential to become the Supreme.

After the fall, the vaster the natural world is and the smaller the humanized world is, the stronger His power becomes, and he becomes a staunch exterminator of civilization.

The one who sneaked into the material world this time was the incarnation of the priesthood of [Harvest], who looked like a very gentle woman.

Byron knew with a single thought that if this incarnation of the priesthood did not die, he would definitely be the vanguard against him when he held the demigod promotion ceremony "World Change".

"If there is a chance, we must not let her leave alive!"

The main god of the Worm Temple, [Prince of Gluttony Beelzebub], sent his own incarnation of [Disease] priesthood.

The main god of "Pure Evil" is [Lucifer, the Morning Star of Pride], one of the seven deadly sins, and his priesthood incarnation is [betrayal].

There is also the [Monster King Samedi] worshipped by Voodoo, and the incarnation of his priesthood sent by him is [Funeral].

The seven incarnations of the priesthood all displayed their mythological forms. No living creatures were seen outside the maze. The four elements of earth, wind, water and fire were in turmoil, turning the sea upside down.

Rumble.
If it weren't for the Pillars of Hellrocks marking the end of the world, suppressing the seabed here, it would not be impossible for an underwater volcanic eruption to occur directly.

After being ambushed by Byron, the Mother of Monsters realized that the situation was out of control, so she made preparations in advance. When she was besieged by the other six gods, she revealed her last trump card.

The soup of life surrounded his body, and the nest city soaked in orange juice was completely digested in the blink of an eye.

The clansmen in the outer blood beast nests all rushed back frantically, diving into the soup of life to return to their origins.

Even the church leaders, who were mainly composed of coelenterates, were no exception.

They were controlled by the priesthood and just screamed: "Mother Goddess! No——!" before they became food for the Mother of Monsters one after another.

How does the saying go: "A mother's love has no price tag, and my child melts in her mouth."

At this point, Echidna had destroyed the sect she had established on earth, as well as most of its anchors, with her own hands.

If the plan fails, before the arrival of the Luo Yan era and the return of his true body, his power will completely leave the material world.

Then, a tree of life made of flesh and blood rose from the ground with a rumble, exactly the same as the one that grew in Noah's Ark.

His plan is similar to that of Byron and his group. Who says that only humans can devour the priesthood of other old gods?

As long as she can burn her boats and swallow up other incarnations of the priesthood in one gulp, she will be the strongest in the material world.

Not only the Pillar of Heloxus, but everything in the whole world, He wants it all!

A low roar came from the Tree of Life:
"All things become one, all of you should become one with me!"
