Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 115: Advancement to Level , Son of the Storm

“Is there a powerful nature spirit inside the skull?
This kind of weird thing really can't be measured by common sense."

Byron didn't expect that when he was reading it, it was also trying to read him, and recognized through the power of agriculture that he was not the real Charlotte.

He has never encountered such a thing since he activated the [Storm Signet Ring].

Even though he only vaguely sensed the knowledge related to his own powers, it was already terrifying enough.

It is indeed a treasure born from all the agricultural knowledge of a civilization.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you my brain, but from now on, your head belongs to me."

Byron didn't plan to waste time talking to it and went forward to take it down from the altar.

From the dancer Charlotte's memory, she knew that this thing itself had no attack power and had to be supported by those abundant servants.

Now that "she" has taken the initiative to assume the task of guarding it and no one else is around, she can naturally do whatever she wants with it.

But the next words of the crystal skull made him pause, and he couldn't help but listen attentively:

"Wait! Are you eager to achieve the sublimation of the essence of life?
Do you want to know the composition of spirituality? Do you want to know why forbidden knowledge has all kinds of strange side effects?

Want to know how to reach the realm of God? !

This is forbidden knowledge among forbidden ones, and the Lord you believe in will never reveal any of it.

But I can tell you.”

At this moment, the crystal skull was like a devil that could see through people's hearts and persuade them step by step.

There is hardly any extraordinary person in the world who can withstand such temptation.

Before Byron could speak, it began to sing another poem, just as it had sung "An Essay on Man" to a group of pioneers:
"God created man as a creature with an undetermined nature and appointed him a place in the middle of the world.

God said to man:

'We place you at the center of the world, from where you can more easily observe everything in the world.

We make you neither of heaven nor of earth, neither mortal nor immortal.

Then you can mold yourself into any shape you like, with the freedom and glory of choice, as if you were your own maker and molder.

You can either transform into barbarism or be reborn into holiness'"

Although the poem used metaphors and obscure expressions, Byron was able to quickly grasp the meaning of the poem thanks to his rich and extraordinary knowledge.

I even suddenly felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

I suddenly understood some of the underlying logic behind the operation of the entire extraordinary world.

“That is to say, humans, or human [spirituality], are actually a combination of animality and divinity.

People can become 'beasts' or 'gods'.

The taboo knowledge prevalent overseas is 'beast', and the Silver Law of the Old World is 'God'.

Cursed objects are "beasts", and holy relics are "gods"; those outside the sequence are "beasts", and those within the sequence are "gods". These are all manifestations of this opposing relationship. "

The more Byron listened, the brighter his eyes became.

"To put it in terms that are easier for modern people to understand, animality is the 'id' that represents desire and primitive driving force; divinity is the 'superego' that represents morality and collective guidance.

But the 'id' and the 'superego' are both two tyrants fighting for control of the mind.

The former are slaves of the flesh, while the latter are in cahoots with human society.

The most typical manifestation is that the forbidden knowledge rooted in "animal nature" all has various strange side effects, such as gluttony, laziness, quirks, etc.
Even many of the fallen have become evil spirits and monsters.

Although the Ladder of Glory rooted in 'divinity' is very stable and safe, without any side effects, it is rigid and stereotyped, and the end can be seen from the beginning.

If one is always trapped in the rules set by the church and the Creator, one will only be able to reach the pinnacle of worldly status as the "King" and will be doomed to be unable to achieve transcendence.

No matter which of these two you lean towards, it is too extreme and neither is the right path!
Do not add entities unless necessary.

The entire supernatural system seems to have been completely unified because of this theory."

Thinking of this, Byron's eyes became brighter than ever, as if he saw the truth through the eye sockets of the crystal skull.

Of course, it is more likely that the truth will be regarded as blasphemy by the Inquisition and hunted to death.

It would be impossible to have such a transcendent vision without taking into account the knowledge accumulated from both the Old World and the Bantaan Islands.

It could also be because it drank too much brain matter from both parties.

Byron didn't expect to gain this level of extraordinary knowledge just after arriving in the Bantaan Islands. He felt that his extraordinary path was bright.

Then I couldn't help but confirm my guess with it:

"You mean to say that the most correct path for a transcendent is to stabilize the Anchor by constantly touching the Silver Law.

Further study the [Forbidden Knowledge] to create a [Sail] to break out of the safety zone and ride the wind and waves.

Only by combining stillness and movement can one make his sailboat run fast and steady, eventually reaching the realm of God and becoming an immortal being.

Is that right?" Under his expectant gaze, the crystal skull opened and closed its jaw, but did not answer his question. Instead, it pronounced coldly:

"I mean, you can't run away!"

Although it was a skeleton without any flesh and blood, Byron could clearly feel the mockery on its face.

The floor of the entire secret room began to roll violently, and skulls with broken bones popped out from underneath.

Like the Attendants of Fertility, each head harbors a ferocious plant root.

Like a tide, it rushed towards Byron.

The small secret room seemed to have turned into the lair of the "Skeleton Spider" in an instant.

At the same time, two hurried footsteps were heard from the entrance of the secret passage behind Byron.

There is still some time before the opponent rushes in, but if Byron chooses to run out at this time, he will definitely collide head-on with the opponent.

Apparently, the Crystal Skull used some unknown method to notify the Famine Hunter, who was most closely connected to it, to come back to the rescue.

The Famine Hunter used the [Nautilus] to call the Corona Priest again.

“If you want knowledge, you have to pay a price.

Stop struggling, your brain must be delicious! Let me eat it! Let me eat it! "

But Byron's face showed no sign of panic. Instead, he glanced at the countdown in the log and grinned at the crystal skull that was being guarded by the "Skull Spiders":
"The three minutes are up. You are the one who can't run away."

The psychological disguise on his body was then lifted, and an intense azure spiritual light burst out from his eyes.

In this second-level promotion ceremony, he obviously chose the first pirate route.

Holding high the banner of "taking by force is better than hard work", we completed the plunder of the three groups' targets.

If the value of the gains from a single robbery is huge, it is possible to be promoted immediately.

The sign of a successful robbery is that the target property is completely disposed of: bought, sold, discarded, or destroyed, without any enemy being able to stop it.
Maintain for at least three minutes.

It is roughly equivalent to the state of "You scream and scream, but no one pays any attention to you even when your throat is hoarse."

From the conversation just now, it seemed that Byron was bewitched by the other party's rhetoric and was passively waiting.

In fact, he already knew that according to the previously determined location, it was impossible for the other two people to get back within three minutes.

Why not want the high-end extraordinary knowledge that is given for free?
While he was attending the lecture, his second-level promotion ceremony had quietly begun.

As the giant net of the [Silver Law] manifested in the spiritual world, it descended instantly.

Another anchor chain in Byron's spirituality hooked tightly onto the second level of the law, and the extraordinary power belonging to the second-level [Storm Knight] was also infused into his body.

call--!
A gust of wind suddenly blew in the secret room.

He blew away the skulls that had already rushed to his side.

If Byron takes the Knight route, the core ability he gains will be [Breath of All Things], which symbolizes domination:
“Your spirituality will be in tune with the frequency of all things. You will be able to understand the emotions of any living thing and grasp the weaknesses of inanimate objects.

A stick can easily cut through rock, steel, and even the invisible and intangible wind."

However, the core ability of the currently selected pirate route is [Son of the Storm], which is not inferior to the former:

"As a child of the storm, you will be blessed by the winds of the world.

First, from now on you will master the mystery of wind and can easily shape a large amount of wind into the shape of a short-handled battle axe, using it as an extremely powerful throwing weapon.

Second, your own gravity can no longer restrain you.

As long as the ability is activated, the power of the wind can be used to force the gravity of oneself and one's personal equipment back to zero.

Not only can it allow you to walk on snow without leaving any traces and on water, you can even use the wind from your opponent's sword to fly up like a piece of paper.

Combined with Storm Swordsmanship, the power is doubled!"

In the time principle of swordsmanship, among the four elements of hand, torso, foot and footwork, the hand is the fastest and the footwork is the slowest.

All the postures and sword moves of Storm Swordsmanship are designed to shorten these four times.

With the blessing of [Son of the Storm], the footwork can be as fast as the hands!

His swordsmanship level immediately leaped forward.

Byron stretched out his hand, and the crystal skull that was exposed again on the altar was instantly blown into his waist bag by the strong wind.

Boom!

There was a loud bang.

The [Famine Hunter] and [Corona Priest] who had just stepped into the secret passage were also severely blown away by his Storm Axe.

Then, a figure rushed in front of the two second-level transcendents with their arms wide open like the wind.

"Today I'm going to fight two at once!"
