Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 636: Filial Piety: Sell all the ancestors and the Mother Goddess!
A huge cross-shaped light mark exploded at the root of the extremely thick trunk of the Mother of Monsters, tearing the entire seabed apart. The violent annihilation of the four elements even further tore open the cracks in the nearby world.

The "big ship" of the material world makes a teeth-grinding creaking sound.

Having experienced two major floods and closing itself off from the outside world, the durability of this large ship seems to have problems that cannot be ignored.

It's the same reason why an unoccupied house is more likely to become dilapidated and collapse.

At the same time, hundreds of turbulent high-speed whirlpools were generated on the sea surface, stirring the waterspouts in the reverse direction, tearing a wide hole in the dark clouds in the sky and allowing the golden sunlight to flow down again.

But it gathered together again in just a moment, even pulling the thunderstorm clouds spanning hundreds of kilometers into a concave colander.

"Go to hell—!"

In this attack, Lilith's [human] incarnation and Kraken's [nightmare] incarnation all used their full strength.

They think they are the ones most likely to reap the benefits by stepping on the Mother of Monsters. After killing the Mother of Monsters, they will be the strongest ones who can rule the battlefield.

However, after regaining their sanity, the [betrayal] incarnation of Arrogant Morning Star Lucifer and the [funeral] incarnation of Corpse Eel King Samedi became madmen but not stupid at all.

They knew that the moment the Mother of Monsters left the stage, the four of them would go from being comrades fighting side by side to becoming mortal enemies.

Lilith and Kraken on the opposite side have already shown their dominance. How could I sacrifice myself in vain to help them at this time?

Both of them coincidentally used only 30% of their ultimate moves, leaving 70% of their strength.

After seeing that Kraken and Lilith had difficulty in defending themselves, he immediately changed direction and blasted 70% of the power of his ultimate move towards them.

Betrayal and Rebellion!

Funeral, funeral procession in the Styx!

The power of the 30% soul-flesh riot first manifested itself in the monster mother, who had already been "food poisoned" by the [Disease] priesthood.

Every organ, every nerve, every muscle, and even every cell in the tree of life seemed to have grown its own brain tissue and possessed independent consciousness.

They all let out sharp wails that penetrated the soul of the Mother of Monsters.

Echidna was already in a difficult situation and began to vomit continuously. Naturally, the "Reunification of All Things" could no longer hold on and she completely collapsed from the inside out.

Then another 70% of the power of the violent soul and flesh blasted towards Lilith's human incarnation.

She is essentially a night demon, but the core strength she relies on now is the [people] who are treated as food and blood bottles.

The destructive power of [Betrayal] on Him should be no less than that of the Mother of Monsters.

The [Funeral] incarnation next to him was holding an astonishingly large bone sickle, carrying a thick black aura that transformed into countless skeletons and chopped down on them.

The sickle's blade light surged, outlining a long, pitch-black river that swallowed up all the light. Countless evil spirits at the bottom of the river suddenly opened their eyes and stretched out their claws.

This move has no killing power for someone who has never killed in his life. It is like an illusion when it hits the body.

The more people you kill in your life, the heavier the karma of killing you bear, and the more powerful this magic will be.

The Mother of Monsters had already collapsed as rapidly as her creator, almost losing her sanity again, and turned into a lump of meat that couldn't even say "Aba Aba".

If he gets used to vomiting, he might be able to stabilize the core strength of his own [Cnidaria].

But when 30% of the power fell on Him, the wronged souls of countless clansmen in the entire blood beast's nest suddenly rose up to demand repayment and eat up the soul of this incarnation cleanly.

"Ah ah ah ah ah"

The scream of the Mother of Monsters was even more tragic than that of the Harvest Goddess just now.

In an instant, he went from being an unrivaled ruler of the battlefield to the third loser, with only the three divine powers in his body that could not be destroyed but only transferred falling into a pool of blood.

[Styx Funeral] also continued to bombard the Kraken's back.

There is no doubt that this was a backstab from the two temporary teammates of the Old Gods!

Lilith and Kraken, who were attacked at the same time, remained calm.

These incarnations of divine power are no longer complete demigods, no longer carry the kingdom of God with them, and are unable to mobilize the power of a country and exert the strongest power to gather people.

But there are a few exceptions among them.

In addition to the Mother of Monsters who had unexpectedly collapsed, the other two were Lilith, who held the "Abundance Collection System", and Kraken, who held the "Pirate Code".

Their own strength was almost exhausted in a short period of time, but the collective strength is still there.

Om-!
Om-!
Until this moment, the two magic nets that were regarded as the trump card were suddenly deployed, one red and the other dark gold. The spiritual glow of the entire sect was suddenly bestowed upon them.

Two huge suns suddenly appeared on the pitch-dark seabed.

"There is only one supreme position, and it is time for you to leave."

Lilith uses the human priesthood as a medium to integrate the huge amount of spirituality and willpower gathered through the abundance collection system.

On the incomplete axe blade of the Thirteen Holy Weapons [Blood Axe] in his hand, the power to break the law that only the army of the human king has is condensed!

Swinging the bloody axe, with just one axe he cut off the filthy spiritual light of the rebellion of the soul and flesh.

On the other side, the Kraken possessed by the Blue Dragon King Reinhardt resonated with the collective subconscious.

Extracting Reinhardt from it is enough to stop a child from crying, and the horrific legend that has caused countless people to have nightmares is integrated into the Dragon Slaying Sword, which is cut down with one blow.

The Pirate Emperor's thousand-year-long notoriety is in no way inferior to the ordinary power of the kingdom of God.

Evil people are worse than evil spirits!
The funeral procession in the River Styx was revealed on the spot, and the evil spirits in the river were frightened and fled in all directions.

"Oh no, I underestimated them."

The incarnation of [Betrayal] and the incarnation of [Funeral] both realized that something was wrong.

The sudden backstab did not achieve the desired effect, and it was even more impossible to kill these two competitors in a head-on confrontation, so they all wanted to retreat.

There is a high probability that they have already missed the Pillar of Hellrocks. If they don't stop the loss in time, they will lose all their capital.

He turned into a stream of light and ran away, not even caring about his family members who were still fighting fiercely on the sea.

But at present, only a few of them know the secret of the Pillar of Heloxus. Lilith and Kraken will not allow others to spread the secret or have the opportunity to sneak back and pick peaches while the two of them are fighting to the death.

The two looked at each other, and in tacit understanding, they each pounced on the incarnation of betrayal and the incarnation of funeral, who were obviously weaker in strength.

There was no suspense in the ensuing battle.

Just a few minutes later, the wails of being eaten alive were heard again.

Lilith's [human] incarnation ate up the [betrayal] priesthood, and Kraken's [nightmare] incarnation ate up the [funeral] priesthood.

As for the other three priesthoods of [Cnidactyls], [Harvest], and [Disease], they were all contaminated by the disease. At the critical moment of the battle, no one dared to absorb it casually.

Just give up the opportunity to temporarily replenish yourself and deal with the powerful enemy in front of you first.

As long as you become the final winner, everything will be yours.

Looking around, the only ones left on the battlefield were the pirate emperor Kraken, who had unified the power of all pirates and deep-sea clans, with a shining golden crown on his head; and Lilith, who commanded all night demons and their clans, with a blood crown on her head.

The sea surface was reflected in golden and red by the spiritual light rising from the sky.

"The Lord God was defeated——!"

"Run!"

Five incarnations of the priesthood died in battle one after another, and the air roots that filled the battlefield gradually dissipated. Except for the Twilight Church and the Deep Dive Church, the other clans were fleeing for their lives, and their numbers were too great to be stopped.

They are all tools and there is no point in intercepting them.

While the two old gods were facing each other, the legions of both sides, which had been fighting for a long time and suffered heavy losses, also started fighting without hesitation.

The Byrons in both teams cursed inwardly that the two priesthood incarnations of betrayal and funeral were trash:

"You guys have been soaking in the ocean for 1,500 years and your brains have been damaged?

If you don’t do background check before the sneak attack, you will get a bad review! If you don’t prepare a targeted back-up plan, you will get a bad review!

At the very least, in order to ensure the success rate, the targets of your sneak attacks have to be the same. If two of you backstab one, you can at least reduce their health to a small amount. This is the worst review among the worst reviews!
Even worse than the Mother of Monsters, it's really embarrassing for us undercover agents."

These two guys were not very skilled. Not only did they fail to weaken the strength of Lilith and Kraken, but they sacrificed their lives and made them stronger.

Moreover, after a failed backstab attempt, it would inevitably arouse their vigilance. Although I have the convenience of my identity, it would be much more difficult to backstab them again.

He gritted his teeth secretly:

"The success rate of backstab dropped from 99% to 97% in an instant. How is this different from being doomed to failure? It's too insecure.

This is the only thing we can do now.”

On the legendary battleship [Pirate City], Byron ordered:

"Ghost Ship Wild Boar, you have a ram, use a ram to disrupt their battle line."

Vlad III on the flagship [Quartz] also raised his hand and issued a micro-management order:

"The Amethyst has left the team and sailed on its own, advancing twenty meters."

Byron, the acting captain of the Pirate City, is the vanguard commander and the strongest man on the Deep Sea Church side.

The captain of the Quartz Stone, Grand Duke Vlad III of Thorn, is also the vanguard commander.

In the past ten days or so, he relied on the power of the Bone Harp to subdue the other three Night Demon pseudo-gods and gained command of the fleet in disguise.

In this brutal battlefield where no one could care about anyone else, the two commanders began to send their men to kill each other, and no one would notice anything unusual for a short period of time.

They each launched extreme micro-manipulations. According to the basic principles of naval warfare tactics, even if the captains of each ship were allowed to command on their own, it might only be a minor defeat. However, after the micro-manipulations, it became a major defeat.

But before the commanders could notice the problem, they looked up and saw that the opponents were in the same miserable situation as themselves?

Suddenly, I felt that the commander was unfathomable. In short, he was using the other side's soldiers to feed his own main gods, constantly increasing the proportion of his own shares in their bodies.

Originally, the fleet was a public resource belonging to each god, but after being transferred through the "outsourcing company" under their own name, it naturally became their own private investment!

This kind of thing was no secret in the previous life, it was just basic operation.

Turn your hand over and it becomes clouds, turn your hand back again and it becomes rain, adding an extra layer of insurance for subsequent actions.

At this time, after being bombarded for so long by a group of incarnations of the old gods at the doorstep, the maze of the Pillar of Hellux had already become shaky.

Inside the royal capital, the very few fifth-order pseudo-gods who stayed behind couldn't help but feel a palpitation in their hearts when they saw the earth-shattering scene outside.

Sea King Atlas asked his grandson:

"Byron, all the survivors below level 5 have been sent to the Kingdom of God. Should we retreat now?"

Hearing this, Byron took a last look at the giant stone pillar standing in the center of the city.

The [Logbook] in the right eye continues to resonate with a certain power in the stone pillar.

I seemed to be able to hear urgent mutterings coming from the pillar, and dark blue ink on the journal was twisting to take shape.

It was as if there was some being that was very anxious to tell him some information.

But Byron couldn't hear what the whispers were saying, nor could he see the words in the "Logbook" take shape.

He became more doubtful about the end of the world behind the door and the "triple point".

All we can confirm is that Cleopatra's original guess that the triple point was the "orifice" of heaven and earth should be roughly correct.

Those incarnations of the old gods who only have spiritual realm but lack the corresponding power will be invincible as long as they can seize a Pillar of Hellux.

However, in order to communicate with them and obtain the most basic power bonus, one must at least reach 10% of the realm of "All Things Become One" and reach the rank of demigod.

According to the legends left by the Desert Empire, Hercules, the first Hercules who accidentally entered the desert, was also able to successfully enter at the limit of demigod, and was promoted to a true god by relying on the power of the triple point at the end of the world.

And now that the three God Kings have occupied this place, the conditions have become even more harsh.

According to the Sleeping God, it would take a recognized "Heir of the Three Gods" to open this door.

If you don't have enough rank, all your efforts will be in vain.

More importantly, what level were the three God Kings when they entered? They were the strongest seventh-order true gods!

When Byron was a child, he heard an adult give him this piece of advice:
“As long as you go out, you are the most vulnerable group, so ignore any requests for help from adults.

If a strong adult does not seek help from a stronger person, but instead seeks help from a weaker person, then he must be harboring evil intentions and has bad intentions! "

Therefore, he knew his own limitations and would not rashly consider doing this unless it was absolutely necessary, even after he was promoted to the sixth-rank demigod.

Even if the gods of mankind were to split into hundreds or thousands of paramecia that were even more miserable than the mother of monsters tomorrow, it would have nothing to do with him.

As a "minor" who is not even a demigod, preserving oneself is the most important task.

So, Byron nodded to the others:

“We will temporarily evacuate to help the two old gods remove their last defenses.

Grandpa, Mom, Father-in-law, Miss Evely, you all should go to my kingdom of God and prepare for the battle. I will summon you when the time comes."

Everyone else had seen his fighting ability and had no objection. Now that the underwater survivors had been saved, any victory from now on would be a profit.

"Okay, I'll leave the outside to you."

Byron left Violet alone.

He summoned an eight-legged Pegasus, held the girl against his chest, and rode out of the maze, which had only the last layer left and was about to collapse at any time.

Before Lilith and Kraken noticed them, they activated the [Rainbow Bridge] and instantly disappeared under the sea.

The two old gods just caught the trace of the space jump and turned their heads suddenly.

The two conflicting divine domains suddenly expanded, crushing the last layer of the maze, exposing the two royal capitals that were hastily evacuated and left in ruins.

"Did everyone run away?"

Lilith and Kraken were startled.

When they realized that the Mother of Monsters was about to break through the Pillar of Hellox, they were still far away from here and did not see the confrontation between Byron and her.

It's not clear what exactly happened here.

But it doesn’t matter whether the underwater kingdom here is dead or alive. They are not the mother of monsters who are keen on biochemical experiments. All they want are the two pillars themselves.

Only the Kraken frowned slightly. His original plan was to eat the two Bay Pirate Kings, the Whale Hunter and the King of the Wild Hunt, in order to complete the [Crown] of the Pirate Emperor.

“If I can kill Lilith and monopolize the Pillar of Helox, I will go after the two of them.

If not, I can only consume the two activation knowledges from the same source to temporarily hold on for a while."

After making sure there was no living creature underwater, Lilith and Kraken each held the Blood Axe and the Dragon Slaying Sword in their hands and transformed into a ray of divine light, leaving behind bright broken lines in the air where red and gold colors collided at high speed.

Sometimes they left deep gullies on the seabed, sometimes they split the endless sea water to create a deep sea canyon. After a few moves, they rushed out of the sea together, and the mighty sword light cut through the flowing clouds.
But after a series of battles, the strength of both sides began to weaken visibly.

The families behind both parties also suffered heavy losses, but the organizational structure at the middle and upper levels remained relatively intact, and the collective strength did not collapse completely but was not far from it.

Thanks to the extreme micro-management of the two "loyal" commanders, their respective troops have been weakened to the extreme.

Lilith and Kraken also realized that they could not continue the stalemate any longer, and if they continued to let the two armies of similar strength wear each other down, they would not be able to defend the place even if they took down the Pillars of Hellox.

The two of them looked stern at the same time.

The sound of water splashing was heard above the former's head, and the blade of the double-edged axe in his hand reflected the scene in the ocean of humanity's collective subconscious.

The right side of the axe blade has the sun, moon and stars on one side, and mountains, rivers and plants on the other side. The left side of the axe blade has farming and animal husbandry on one side, and war and plunder on the other side.
The undercurrent of human soul!
Relying on the priesthood stolen from human beliefs, he has pried open the profound history of the human race.

The Kraken was not to be outdone.

Black fog filled the air around him, and the sound of crazy and evil laughter became clearer and clearer. Countless human nightmares turned into reality and fell on the blade of the Dragon Slaying Sword.

The four nightmare killers of the Old World are all listed:

The [Banyan Street Dream Killer·Kruger] with a burned face and iron claws on his hands; the [Moonlight Killer·Michael] wearing a white hood, holding a kitchen knife and an axe, and possessing an immortal body in the moonlight;
The Crystal Lake Killer, Undead Voorhees, who wears a burnt yellow mask and has great power with a machete; the Leatherfaced Iron Saw Killer, Hewitt, who preys on passersby with a saw and a hammer.
[Hannibal the Cannibal], [The Killer Clown], [The Devil's Disciple], [Jack the Ripper], [The Yorkshire Butcher]. There are countless regional horror legends.

Countless ghost faces immediately appeared on the Dragon Slaying Sword.

Nightmare·Nightmare Returns!

Above the two armies where a fierce battle was taking place, gas rings exploded under the feet of Lilith and Kraken, and two long rainbows plowed the sky in half from the left and right.

Just when the two of them were gathering all their strength to use their most essential "Tao and Principle" to decide who was superior and who was inferior.

Byron, who had been paying attention here, quietly seized the opportunity.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the two long rainbows fiercely.

The ability "Sell" of the Holy Relic [First Stock] was instantly activated:
“When we go our separate ways, we can ask for a dividend settlement, forming a mystic treasure chest, and forcibly extract the wealth, knowledge, power, and treasures within the organization to offset the dividends.

The more equity you have, the more valuable the extraction will be.”

There is a strange phenomenon in the financial field: "What most people think is true will become true even if it is not true!"

Even in a healthy stock market, a series of panic selling caused by misleading information can cause stock prices to plummet or even collapse on the spot.

In reality, when the "listed entity" faces a fierce battle, once it sells off its equity to redeem its investment, it is no longer as simple as a collapse, but a matter of life and death.

Byron was always open-mouthed, his mouth was as if covered with honey:
"You think it's okay if you don't eat random things?
Every bit of my filial piety has already been secretly priced.

Sell ​​the shares, all the ancestors and the mother goddesses!"

He is like an old stock investor who has been trapped for many years. Once he gets the chance to get out of the trap, he runs away faster than anyone else.

If I don't run away at this time, do I still need to build a position and enter the market?

collapse! collapse!
The two golden fishing hooks instantly pulled away a large amount of spiritual light from Lilith and Kraken.

Two treasure chests formed in front of him.

Kraken is blessed with the Pirate Code that has been accumulated for thousands of years, and its own power is relatively stronger.

Byron will completely withdraw the shares fed to Him by his followers, and only retain the ownership of the "Pirate Code" that activates Byron.

Lilith took even less, and even of the shares fed to her, she mercifully took only half, so that they could remain evenly matched.

As usual, let Violet, the pale-faced "European Emperor", open the treasure chest.

There were not enough shares, so the core priests of both sides could not be drawn, but a lot of spirituality was drawn. After purification by the holy relics, there would be no future troubles.

Originally, the spirituality of Byron, Violet, and Catherine had reached 24.3, and now they all rushed to 24.5, and were about to reach the limit of the fifth level.

This was the most scarce resource they needed at this stage, and both of them were very satisfied.

At the same time, Kraken and Lilith, who were fighting desperately, felt their bodies being drained in an instant, and their faces changed drastically.

"Ah, hiss, hiss, hiss"

The next moment, the two people who had no choice but to collide with each other.

If two cooked eggs collide, the stronger one will usually remain unharmed, while the weaker one will be shattered to pieces.

But this time, they were evenly matched and were all shattered!
"puff--!"

The two were thrown backwards by the fiery shock wave caused by the explosion of power, vomited three liters of blood on the spot, and turned into two flaming meteors, roaring and falling from the sky into the sea.
