Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 603: Queen: Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, I Want a Child

Of course, people in the palace cannot see what happens in other places.

But what was happening in the Palace Square was enough to leave them dumbfounded.

Byron was not infected when he was in the Absolute Chaos Beast Group, and he did not have the opportunity to witness the true power of the "Alice Virus".

It was just treated as a rare and extraordinary virus sample and collected in the long river of blood.

It was not until today that I witnessed its horror for the first time.

Countless ferocious scarabs, emitting black and green auras all over their bodies, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, involuntarily merged into one after being poisoned and turned back into human form.

It reveals the appearance of the High Priest Hamna as a human before he was subjected to the "insect-bitten punishment".

According to the tradition of the Desert Empire, although he is bald, he has broad shoulders, a sturdy figure, well-proportioned bones and flesh, and his three-dimensional facial features are also very attractive.

He looks like a handsome middle-aged man.

It is said that the only criterion for judging whether a guy is handsome is whether he can handle a bald head.

At this point, the high priest Hamna is clearly very qualified, being a handsome and powerful bald man despite being bald.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to seduce the princess of the Pharaoh.

However, even this seemingly perfect body still could not make him immune to the Alice virus.

"My body. What's going on?"

The Alice virus eats up excess fat and useless cells in the body.

While making people lose weight, a beautiful girl named Alice is created that belongs exclusively to the infected person.

In essence, it is the most perfect image of a wife in a man's mind, which is equivalent to high-end SVIP customization.

Under normal circumstances, if a man's height is subtracted by 105 kilograms, the remaining number of kilograms is roughly the standard weight of the person.

On this basis, just adding one pound of fat can meet the precondition for the outbreak of the Alice Virus.

For someone like Hamner, who has billions of clones, each scarab is equivalent to the cursed spirit of the original body. If all the scarabs were gathered together, he himself might not even know that he weighs thousands of tons more.

So of course he cracked on the spot.

Stab it--!
Because it split so quickly, there were still a lot of sticky white threads between the two parts.

The high priest, who had no idea what Byron had put into his body, was still shocked and angry.

Ever since he converted to the god Horus and successfully broke out of the sarcophagus, when had he ever suffered such a loss?
But when he saw the graceful figure appearing in front of him, he immediately put all the irrelevant thoughts behind him.

That was none other than Sosia, the lover whom he had been thinking about day and night and had been obsessed with for three hundred years!
"Sosia, my little lark, you are alive?
How is this possible? Am I dreaming? Could it be that our Lord Horus has appeared and bestowed his power so that we can be reunited?"

The high priest was so excited that his voice trembled.

His lover was the only light in Hamner's heart when he was trapped in the sarcophagus and suffered the "insect-eating punishment". She had long become his deepest obsession.

If he were a human who took the Ladder of Glory route, he could be promoted to the fifth-level legend with his own ability simply based on this obsession, without relying on cheating devices such as the [King Title] or the [Bishop's Seal Ring].

"Hamner, it's me, I'm back.

I'm sorry for making you suffer over the years. Woo woo woo"

"Alice" is born from the host's body. In addition to absorbing fat and cells, it will also automatically absorb his wishes and memories.

So the Sosia in front of him met all the high priest's fantasies about his lover. She was even more real and perfect than the real Pharaoh's princess!

At this moment, the beauty is crying, pouring out her heart with tears in her eyes. Even a heart of stone will melt in her tears in an instant.

Hamner is no exception.

Being held in the arms of the beauty he had been thinking about day and night, with her cheeks gently caressed, his face was filled with intoxication. He couldn't help but open his arms and hug her tightly, secretly vowing to never let his lover slip away from his hands again.

This is the scary thing about Alice's virus.

The most poisonous thing is not the toxicity itself, but the addiction of the infected people who deceive themselves, paralyze themselves, and are unwilling to wake up from the dream.

At this time, even if someone wanted to save him and help him eliminate the Alice virus, the first person he would kill would be the nosy rescuer.

As Hamner hugged him tightly, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"Alice" is a virus that split directly from his body, so of course it is impossible for her to wear clothes.

The charming face and the graceful figure that once belonged only to him and the Pharaoh were now visible to everyone.

The high priest's eyes immediately turned red. Driven by a strong desire for possession, he fiercely swept his gaze over everyone in the palace:

"Sosia belongs to me alone, and you all must die."

However, someone's possessiveness is stronger than his.

"Alice" hugged him tightly, her eyes full of admiration and love.

"Yes, Hamner, of course I am yours alone, but you are also mine alone."

She just finished speaking.

Hamner's body split open again.

As white cells drew, a second Sosia appeared behind Hamner and hugged his neck tightly from behind.

She sternly retorted to the previous Sosia:
"Your Hamna? No, this is my Hamna!"

Stab! Stab!
Then her words were like pulling the trigger of a starting gun, and the sound of cracking silk never stopped after that.

"This is my Hamna!"

"Shut up, it's my Hamna."

The high priest's side was suddenly filled with Sosia, the woman he had longed for but could never get.

The originally beautiful sound of the lark turned into the chirping and noisy sound of five hundred ducks in his ears.

A group of "Sosiya" pulled the high priest, trying to compete for his love, his breath, his hair, oh, this one doesn't have it, his flesh and blood!
Even tons of Sosia were being produced so quickly that they were already struggling inside his body before they could even differentiate.

"Hamna's heart is mine. It is such a strong heart. Every beat of it is for me."

"Hamner's lungs are mine. No one can compete with me. He can only breathe my body fragrance."

"Stop it, put down the kidney, both of them are mine."

"Too greedy, do you want to fight?"

"Just fight, who is afraid of whom?"

The quarrel inside Hamner's body could be heard clearly even outside.

As a group of "Alices" fought inside the body, the whole person continued to expand, and human faces appeared on the surface of the body, and even graceful female bodies pulling each other's hair and poking each other's eyes.

The scene was extremely terrifying in the eyes of the onlookers.

His head, which had long been twisted and deformed, swelled to a size larger than a water tank. That was because numerous "Alices" wanted to get into his brain, leaving him with only himself in his heart and eyes.

The high priest's initial joy and enjoyment had already completely turned into horror:

"No, it's too much, stop, it's overflowing, I can't take it anymore."

But the nature of the "harem virus" is like this. How can a woman willingly share a man with others? If you try to play with too many boats, you will eventually capsize.

Bang-!
The high priest exploded into a bloody mist on the spot.

The flesh and bones fell to the ground and kept squirming and breaking apart until they could no longer support the most basic life units. They completely lost their vitality and finally turned into a pool of blood.

This also means that [High Priest] Hamna has lost this part of his body, strength, and soul forever.

The same scene happened in all the places where the high priest Hamna kept the scarab clones.

After the fight, there was only a mess on the ground. Not to mention the scarab, even a complete cell could not be found.

[Alice Virus (Harem Version)] spreads along the collective consciousness of the high priests and will never let go of any component.

Even some scarab beetles that he used as resurrection points and were alone among a pile of dung beetles also gained "love".

We got a group of dung beetle versions of Alice—perfect and beautiful dung beetles.

The main point is that everyone gets their share!

However, the high priest who suffered heavy losses is after all the incarnation of the Ten Plagues. Disasters and epidemics themselves are his core powers, and his own realm is about to reach the peak of the fifth level.

Compared to others, there is still a little room for resistance.

In a secret tomb unknown even to the higher-ups of the Blind Church of Horus.

As the famous saying goes: When you find one Alice, there are already many Alices crawling around every corner.

[High Priest] Hamna's true core body, who was sleeping, suddenly woke up and sat up from a sarcophagus, but was shocked to find that the beautiful "Sosia" was crawling all over his body.

Although his face showed horror, his actions to save himself were not slow at all.

A dark golden divine light shot out from the top of his head and transformed into a magic book made entirely of gold plates but covered with tumors and golden feathers.

The cover is engraved with a sacred emblem of a scarab pushing the sun, and its name is "The Golden Sutra of the Sun".

The magic book melted instantly like molten gold, and cast into a small golden boat in the air that could only accommodate a few people.

Its appearance is exactly the same as the solar boat outside the Skeleton Coast.

The high priest pounced forward without saying a word.

The sun boat was immediately sucked into a whirlpool, spun a few times in the air, and then disappeared into a world crack in the tomb.

However, he escaped from the real world with a group of "Alice" and fled to the exploration target of the "God Hunting Plan" - the kingdom of the God King Horus.

The original source of the Alice virus is Echidna, the [Mother of Monsters]. Once an ordinary fifth-level pseudo-god is infected, he basically has no ability to resist.

This was the only copy Byron had originally. The viruses he imitated and copied later did not have such a powerful mystery.

If the high priest could escape to the kingdom of God, just like Byron had used the power of the Ten Thousand Winged Angel to fight back, and use the power of Horus to suppress the poison, he might actually be able to survive.

Of course, everyone now knows that Horus is in a very bad situation because of the violent conflicts between his priesthoods of [Sky], [Sun], etc. and the deep sea.

When the wizards attack the kingdom of God, no one knows whether they can see him again.

It would be funny if Horus, who was also constantly breaking apart like the Creator, failed to help him suppress the virus and was instead infected by the high priest.

The focus returns to the secret realm of the palace.

The scarabs in the sky were completely wiped out, and the high-ranking wizards who walked out of the palace again looked at the blood flowing freely on the ground with disbelief on their faces:

"The High Priest Hamner died so simply?!" "He was a cursed spirit who had endured three hundred years of insect-eaten torture without dying. He was most likely to be promoted to the sixth level before the end of this era."

"Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, this blood on the ground is not one of the Ten Plagues, and it will jump up and kill people if you are not careful, right?"

More people focused their attention on the [Holy Spear of Origin, the Embodiment of Truth] in his hand, which looked to be just a prototype.

There was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Byron did a nonchalant gun dance, the Holy Spear of Origin disappeared, and a smile flashed across his face:
"Everyone, my ability is just enough to restrain this kind of group consciousness. It is not worth mentioning. It is still far from the embodiment of the truth of your school."

What he didn't say was that opening up the collective subconscious ocean of all living beings and poisoning and killing people were only the most insignificant uses of the Holy Spear.

It is known that the most powerful force in the world is crowd-gathering, and there are many ways to gather crowds.

There are aura abilities [Knight Commander], [Heroic Banner], [Royal Titles] of various countries, and even [Chaos Lair] of the Deep Sea Clan.
However, the Holy Spear of Origin, which can communicate with the collective consciousness of all living things, has the potential to transcend the human law network and unite all ethnic groups.

It is not impossible to extract the common bridge of all living things and reach the root of the world by relying on the collective consciousness of all living things.

Replace the will of heaven with the will of human heart and become the only will of the world!
Byron said earlier that the Ennead School of Creation had great ambitions to replace the Desert God System, and his ambitions were even greater.

Compared to this ambition that cannot be told to others, poisoning insects is really not worth mentioning.

'This Emperor across the sea never ceases to surprise me.

The powers of [Royalty], [Hades], [Creation], and so on, as well as this manifestation of truth, have come at the right time.

For that plan, I secretly examined hundreds of elite wizards and selected three backup candidates, but now I unexpectedly found the most suitable candidate.

His identity and the help he could provide to the empire were completely different from the local schools.

After this is over, it is necessary to have a frank conversation with him.'

With the help of the space maze lock to temporarily hide her figure, the "Queen" watched the battle silently, looking at Byron and the Holy Spear of Origin in his hand, the delicate corners of her lips under the golden mask couldn't help but curl up.

Her husband, Pharaoh Ptolemy XIV, had no idea what she was thinking, but his eyes couldn't help but darken just because of his wife's smile to other men.

As the Pharaoh, although he is not a fifth-level upper wizard, he has considerable authority in the secret realm due to his own status and legitimacy.

He had long noticed that his queen had an indescribable different attitude towards Byron, the emperor of the empire across the sea.

I couldn't help but feel jealous.

You know, even those wise emperors who were famous throughout history did a lot of absurd things in their later years. People at that time often lamented that if a certain emperor had died twenty years earlier, he would have been an emperor of all ages.

What's more, a pharaoh like Ptolemy XIV, who had the opportunity to gain eternity but could only watch himself die of old age, would of course be more likely to have an unbalanced mentality in the last few years of his life.

But he recovered quickly without anyone noticing anything unusual.

Then he followed the Queen obediently and stepped out of the space maze.

Cleopatra VII was not surprised at all by the desert gods' raid and nodded calmly to the high-ranking wizards.

But she raised her skirt and bowed to Byron:

“Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, thank you for your help. You will be the Desert Empire’s friend forever.

Excuse me, can you lend me the treasure that was stolen by the Gorgon?"

His attitude towards Byron was completely different from that of others.

Even when she looked at her husband, it was as if she was looking at a weed, but when she looked at Byron, it was obvious that she was looking at a fellow, even a "comrade".

Byron returned the greeting, and though he was somewhat puzzled as to why she used the word "borrow" for her own lost property, he also casually threw out all the external belongings that the Gorgon had "deposited" with him here when she went into the water.

[Cleopatra] lightly tapped the heavily sealed treasure chest on the ground with the scepter in her hand, and the treasure chest opened to reveal a crystal skull.

It was Crystal Skull No. 9 [Death]!
It was lost in the South Continent, first in the hands of the Blind Church, then stolen by Cleopatra's followers and brought to the East Continent, and nearly stolen by the Gorgon, before finally ending up in Byron's hands.

It was only because it was sealed tightly that Byron was unable to sense its breath at the first moment.

And Cleopatra was obviously very clear about the relationship between this thirteenth "Level Zero Holy Relic" and the Holy Golden Empire and him, the emperor of the empire.

This is why the word "borrow" is used.

"It's time for the farce to end."

The queen held the crystal skull in one hand and raised the scepter in the other.

Om-!
Eight of the nine divine pillars floating above the secret realm suddenly turned into light and dissipated, and only one real divine pillar flew behind her and turned into a golden coffin.

At the same time, a coffin shaped like a divine pillar rose up in each of the main cities that were attacked, and then divine light shone together.

The nine artificially created gods emerged one by one.

Ra (sun god, supreme god), Shu (god of wind and air), Tefnut (rain god), Geb (god of earth), Nut (goddess of the sky).

Osiris (god of kingship, Hades and agriculture), Isis (goddess of life, magic, marriage and family), Set (god of deserts and storms), Nephthys (patron saint of houses and the dead).

The nine main cities built along the Sedge River on the ground were located near and far away from each other, but when the divine light came on, they clearly formed a standard pattern of "nine stars in a row".

Byron's pupils shrank.

"This is."

Two years ago, he witnessed another nine-star conjunction with his own eyes.

Continue reading silently.

Standing behind Cleopatra is Isis, one of the Ennead, the goddess of life, magic, marriage and fertility.

With Byron's divine vision, one can see the second main city closest to the royal capital, the manifested Osiris.

This fictional god has some similar powers to those wielded by Byron, both of them possess [royal power], [the underworld], and [creation].

In mythology, Osiris was an enlightened pharaoh during his lifetime. He was murdered by his jealous brother Set, the god of the desert. Fortunately, he was mummified by his illegitimate son Anu, the jackal god, and resurrected.

Later he became the ruler of the underworld and the judge of death.

He was the giver of civilization, the Pharaoh, the king of the underworld, and was called "Neb-ertcher", which means "king of the edge of the world".

In the setting of the Ennead School of Creation, Osiris and Isis are respectively the father and mother of the old god king [the eagle-headed god] Horus.

It's simply a face-to-face output.

Therefore, although there are several other gods with higher status, this couple is the most important weapon against the desert gods, and the key to the python swallowing the elephant!
At this moment, the crystal skull [Death] in the Queen's hand suddenly lit up.

Using it as a medium, the shadows of the nine gods suddenly fell into the collective subconscious of the Desert Empire, and then turned into nine glowing light anchor chains that shot straight into the sky.

"Is this the power of a demigod?!"

"Is the manifestation of the Nine Pillars of Creation going to succeed?"

"Oh no, it's a trap, run."

The attacking desert god clansmen also noticed something was wrong and quickly turned around and ran away.

The next moment, throughout the Desert Empire, a considerable number of the Desert God's followers who had jumped out on their own initiative missed a step, and when they opened their eyes again, they had fallen into the sarcophagus closest to them.

There is no end here, no way out.

Soon, all his strength, blood, and spirituality were absorbed by the mummy in the sarcophagus.

Just like when the Lancaster family was wiped out by the [Touch of the Kraken], those family members also suffered heavy losses in an instant.

There are even some unlucky fifth-level false gods among them.

With just this one blow, the Desert God System was seriously injured.

Byron subconsciously thought of the bloody sacrifice of the "God-killing Banquet" when the [Golden Law] was first born, anchoring the law to the nine-star conjunction in the collective subconscious.

Although the rituals are slightly different and not quite complete, the essence is the same.

“Archpriest Hamna’s guess is correct. The Ennead School of Creation is only one step away from the birth of Truth Concrete.

Moreover, the queen's plan should not be just to be promoted to the sixth-rank demigod.

It’s a really generous move.”

The others who were stunned gradually came to their senses.

The more sophisticated the plan, the harder it is to execute. If there is even a slight mistake, everything will be a failure.

What [Cleopatra] did was not complicated at all, and it is clear at a glance when you look back.

Relying on the advantage that [Truth Concrete·Nine Pillars of Creation] had begun to undergo qualitative changes, but no one knew the inside story, they set a trap to kill the Desert God System.

Even if the high priest did not run away, after suffering heavy injuries and great loss of strength, he might be wiped out by the power burst of the Nine Pillars of Creation.

Through the blood sacrifice of the same origin, he advanced his own promotion ceremony by a great step.

When everyone looked at Cleopatra VII again, their eyes were filled with awe.

For others, the promotion to demigod requires three major prerequisites: "eternal divinity", "condensed priesthood", and "dimensional upgrading of the kingdom of God", but for her, none of these are necessary.

All you need to do is eat up many of the desert gods' followers in one bite, then continue to replenish your supplies and eat one or two old gods, and everything will be done naturally.

Far closer to the sixth-order demigod than anyone else here!
The progress is even faster than that of Inti, the Sun God of the neighboring Sun Empire.

After killing the man, the Queen clapped her hands leisurely and instructed the waiter behind her:

"Let the banquet begin. All the distinguished guests must be hungry."

Then, everyone continued to play music and dance.

The dinner was delayed only for a short while, and no one discussed the "God Hunting Plan" during that time, but everyone was already full of confidence.

As long as they can get the support of a demigod before the old gods, they will be able to launch a counterattack and drive their clans back to the sea.

However, after the banquet which lasted until late at night.

Byron was about to go back to rest with Violet, but was stopped by the waiter, who said that the queen wanted to see him.

Byron didn't think much about it. He asked Violet to go back first and followed the servant to the queen's bedroom.

He did not see the Pharaoh, nor did he see any of his attendants. The waiter who led the way also closed the temple door and left in a hurry.

The "most beautiful woman in the world" who was waiting here alone, when she saw him coming, suddenly reached out and took off the cat-shaped mask on her face, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

In a very overbearing tone, he said something fierce and ferocious that made Byron's heart jump:

"Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, I want a child."
