Chapter 439: King Title: Sun King (Incomplete)
Don’t talk nonsense and don’t eat nonsense.

The old king Huayna Capac, who thought he had planned everything and had the situation under his control, encountered both of these taboos.

Byron has just issued an order to his own Crystal Skull No. 13, using the power of Skull No. [Lord of Heaven].

The blue sun, which had risen high in the sky, suddenly sank downwards.

The scorching sun's rays on his body were replaced by a chilly and biting cold wind. As the cold and heat intertwined, bubbles in his body surged violently and sparks flew everywhere.

The old king's soul, which was forcibly anchored between life and death because of the protection of the [Goddess of Suicide], suddenly felt a force of attraction coming from underground.

The source of power is the soul's destination at the edge of the world and in the collective subconscious.

In other words, it is the underworld!
"Impossible! This crystal skull is a treasure I accidentally obtained when I wiped out a totem god tribe.

If I didn't have the title ability of [Civilized Firewood Gatherer], I wouldn't have discovered its peculiarity.

How can you control it?"

The old king could never have imagined that there was such a connection. The key prop in his plan turned out to be the poor relative from the north.

At the same time, a flash of light appeared in his body, and the crystal skull that looked somewhat unreal jumped out automatically, cheered and threw itself into Byron's arms, abandoning its old master without hesitation.

After a human dies, unless he or she turns into an undead creature, an evil spirit, a natural spirit, a totem god, or a monster combined with other creatures, the destination of the soul should be the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness.

If you die at sea, you will be at risk of being snatched away by the Sea of ​​Essence and must be transported by a ghost ship;
If one dies on land, they will be drawn to the underworld of their respective tribe and will be forced to leave the material world.

This is just like how when an apple falls, it falls to the ground instead of flying into the sky. This is the law of nature and is completely unavoidable.

"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, those who should go should not stay!"

Creak——!
There was a sound of chains being tightened, and not only did the sun's "rising" momentum stop immediately, it even began to shake.

Now was the critical moment for the old king Huayna Capac to be resurrected from the dead and ascend to godhood, but suddenly another force appeared to hinder him and almost killed him in an instant.

The huge gravitational force emitted by the blue sun was also reduced by half, and Byron, Violet and August finally fell back to the ground.

Therese, who had been struggling with the help of the [Blood Cup], was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

If it were just this, it would probably not be enough to truly kill him. After obtaining sufficient fuel in a short period of time and starting to ascend, this [Civilized Firewood Gatherer] was no longer the same as an ordinary ghost after all.

The fatal thing was the subsequent move of cutting off the source of the problem.

Once there is no fuel, no matter how strong the fire is, it will only make you die faster.

"Sell it out for me! Sell out 70% of the Son of God's shares!"

A treasure chest suddenly fell next to Byron, and two fishing hooks, one red and one gold, jumped out by themselves.

There is a rule in the food chain that toxins will continue to accumulate, and the same is true for equity!
This time, as many as 70% of the descendants of the Sun God were bribed by them in advance, and most of them had his investments in them.

Especially after the fourth prince "Atahuallpa" was also eaten, Byron's shareholding ratio increased sharply.

Obviously, that was not the real Atahualpa, but the fourth-level guard of the third prince who had been transformed into Byron's own family.

One hundred percent ownership.

After he drank the blood of Atahualpa from the [Blood Cup], he immediately and perfectly replaced Atahualpa's existence, and the taste in his mouth was exactly the same.

The old king could not tell that it was not his eldest son.

This was originally just a safety measure arranged by Byron after he realized that the situation was unusual, but unexpectedly it worked out very well.

You dare to bark in front of me? I bought you by force!
Time was running out and there was no time for Byron to find another pale-faced helper, so he threw both fishing hooks out in one breath.

collapse--!
collapse--!
Two sounds of the fishing line being tightened were heard.

The old king, who was originally boiling with flames and ready to launch a meteor shower to kill Byron and his party, suddenly let out a terrifying scream:

"Ow—!"

An exceptionally hideous and old face appeared on the surface of the sun. Its body suddenly shrank greatly, and the faint blue-white light on its body began to degenerate into golden yellow.

Perhaps because the real Fourth Prince [Hand of Fortune] was in Byron's pocket, he was also able to share a little bit of the favor from wealth.

The luck in the lottery this time was quite good.

The red fishing hook caught a large ball of dazzling blood of the Sun God, which is also the main source of energy for the Son of the Sun.

With this treasure and the secret spell [River of Blood], Byron can easily create another fourth-level Son of the Sun.

Even if he drinks it himself, it can greatly enhance the abilities of him, the Night Demon Prince.

The golden fishing hook also caught a ball of brilliant golden light, but it was not a real object, but an illusory conceptual object. As soon as Byron reached out his hand, it merged into his body.

The [Logbook] immediately displayed its information.

【Sun King】(Incomplete position):
“The personality that Huayna Capac, the former king of the Sun Empire, failed to fully form is one of the most important components of his strength.

His knowledge and accumulation in the field of the sun are unmatched by few in the world. In this ceremony, he used the body of the new king to allow himself, the old king, to have a second spring.

As long as he wants, he can become the eternal king of this country.

Once he ascends to the throne of God, he will be able to fully condense the persona of the Sun King.

Similar to the [King Title] under the Ladder of Glory system, both are granted status by the Silver Law and the collective subconscious when ascending to the throne or godhood.

But after being interrupted, there is only a conceptual prototype, which may become a [God Title] or a [King Title] in the future.

Whether it can be completed again depends on the performance of the new owner.

When you make corresponding achievements, such as expanding your territory to the whole world, so that no matter which time zone in the world your territory is bathed in sunlight, you can fully activate it and gain an additional second crown on top of the original one. "

Even though the battle wasn't over yet, Byron couldn't help but have his eyes sparkle.

This is the second crown that you can obtain in addition to your own [Title]!
The golden sun crown that Edward IV had always coveted was not even worthy of carrying his shoes compared to this "crown".

The [Crown] of the Holy Silver Empire is only equivalent to the power of two crowns combined into one.

If it can be activated, the status of the entire country will be greatly improved, enough to be promoted from a kingdom to the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets".

"The sun never sets means that the sun never sets on the land of the empire. There is always sunlight shining on the land of the empire at all times, allowing the subjects of the empire to bathe in the glory and grace of the emperor. Every time a national speech is made through the legal network, the first sentence is: 'My subjects, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening.'

The condition for achieving this is to connect one's own territory and territorial waters across all longitudes.

The most clever way is to occupy a large territory in the hemisphere opposite to one's own territory, one in the early morning and the other in the evening.

To achieve this, one must first conquer the Sea of ​​Monsters and reach the Eastern Continent across the sea.

At the beginning, I agreed with Violet to go to the starting point of the second circulation belt, where the whale hunters left their traces, but I haven’t had time to take a look yet. There is still a long way to go. "

Boom——!
At the same time, as the two fulcrums for the old king to achieve ascension were completely deprived, after suffering severe blows in succession, he finally could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Transformed into a golden giant of light that lost the shape of the sun.

Overall, it still looks like a human, but its body is skinny and emaciated, with red feathers gradually growing on its arms and back. Its face is becoming more and more like a bird, and its hands and feet have turned into claws.

It looks a bit like the famous phoenix.

It also possesses abilities such as "rebirth from the ashes".

But there was no sacred feeling at all. The dirty feathers were dripping black and red magma, emitting a sulfur smell like rotten eggs, like the foul-smelling pus and blood oozing out of a rotting corpse.

It was clear that when he was experiencing great joy and sorrow, and the interweaving of life and death, he was rapidly falling towards his animal side, and had even released a [grotesque] aura of frenzy.

The old king stared at them with red eyes:

"Unforgivable, unforgivable!

Do you know how much the Empire's Solar God System is eagerly awaiting someone like me who can be resurrected from the dead and have access to the power of the Underworld?

Do you know how important this authority is to all the descendants of the Sun God?

As long as they obtain the protection of this power, the lower-middle class descendants of gods will no longer need to fear death, and the strength of the empire can be doubled in an instant!
Haven't you realized it yet? Compared to my successful ascension to God, all the costs paid by others are completely worth it.

For the sake of the empire, why can't you just die? ! ! "

When Byron was browsing the collective subconscious in Empire of the Sun, he realized that in the Zootopia, all creatures have spirits, and life and death are not clearly distinguished.

Most people will return to the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness after death. A small number of people with particularly noble bloodlines will enter the sky city of Machu Picchu and fall asleep at the feet of God. Still others will become nature spirits by accident.

Only a very small number of natural spirits can become new totem gods, be reborn from death, and return to the empire.

The key point is that due to the huge difference between the "Holy Book of the Sun" and the forbidden knowledge of death, the many powers of the [Sun God] and his subordinate gods have never touched the underworld.

This also means that everyone, regardless of their social status, is relatively equal in the face of death. Even the gods find it difficult to interfere too much and cannot create back doors for future generations.

There wasn't really anything wrong with what the old king said, and it didn't sound like he was bluffing.

The Sun Empire had been established in the Ring of Fire Mountains for over a thousand years. It had continuously accumulated knowledge and expanded its cognitive limits, and finally broke through the boundary between life and death during the reign of the 14th king.

Compared with this power that has been longed for for thousands of years, what are the hundreds of descendants of God in each generation?
Even if the real owner of this empire, [Sun God] Inti, discovered it, would he punish a useful fifth-level subordinate god for a mere bunch of consumables?

Faced with the old king's questioning, Byron and his party could only remain silent.

It was at this time that Huayna Capac used his authority as king to issue an order to the sacred tree:
"Order: The lower and middle worlds are closed!
I have changed my mind. I don't need you to be firewood producers anymore. I will eat you alive now to replenish my fuel."

As the space between the middle and lower levels was distorted, they were all suddenly trapped in this small portal to heaven.

All energy and matter are in this closed cage. As long as the cage cannot be broken, all struggles will be in vain.

If he could kill them all in one go and force the firewood into his body, the old king would have a chance to restart his "ascension".

However, you have to act fast!
We must capture them before the fuel is completely exhausted, otherwise we will really die of old age.

But what was beyond the old king's expectations was the hot halo that suddenly exploded on his body and the increasingly violent energy fluctuations.

Byron did not look nervous at all. Instead, he calmly asked him back with the condescending and teacher-like attitude he had at the beginning:
"Your Majesty Waina, aren't you known as the [Civilized Firewood Gatherer]?

Did you know that the main material composition of the universe is actually 75% hydrogen and 23% helium?

Do you know that the essence of combustion is actually a violent redox reaction?
Do you know how to measure the speed of light?
Do you know where the sun's energy comes from?
Do you know what fusion and fission are? Do you know that the apex of the sun's path actually leads directly to the invincible Great Ivan Technique?"

He spoke at a slow and steady pace, determined to wear him down little by little, letting this old man burn himself to death.

As expected, the old king knew that he didn't have much time, but out of his instinct as a "civilized firewood gatherer", he couldn't help but want to hear the answer.

Or, with his level of knowledge, a valuable question is more important than the answer to the question.

As he listened with fascination, the light on his body gradually dimmed.

According to the fate of the Son of the Sun dying of old age, he might soon be extinguished on the spot, or he might explode with a loud bang.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Byron suddenly smiled strangely and asked one last question:
"Did you know that the new king actually has more than one [Sun Crown]?"

"what?"

The old king, the "civilized firewood gatherer" who was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, had not yet come to his senses.

A golden alpaca sun crown appeared in one of Byron's hands, and with the other hand he took out a golden-haired mouse that was rapidly expanding and regaining its human form.

It was the first crown that fell into his hands, and the real fourth prince Atahualpa.

The latter had also completed the ascension ceremony when he stood here. As long as he put on the crown, he could completely end the "Holy Lake Coronation Ceremony" and reopen the closed secret realm.

Even if the old king was dragged to death or exploded on the spot, they would be able to escape in time.

The only thing that puzzled Byron was that the man behind the scenes was almost burned to death.

[Secret: The dark cloud of the succession of the throne of the Solar Empire, historical influence 30] The decryption density only increased from 72% to 85%, and it never moved again.

"What does this mean? Forget it, escaping is more important."

Just as Byron put this anomaly behind him and prepared to put the crown on Atahualpa's head.

clang clang clang.
Behind the crowd, the gate to heaven actually opened slowly on its own at this juncture, and a burly figure shone brightly and strode out of the threshold.
