Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 637: Humanity is supreme! The emperor does not need to be crowned, you just need to submit!

When Lilith and Kraken were both injured and fell from the sky.

Deep under the sea, a beautiful girl as delicate as a doll came to the place where the mother of monsters collapsed.

She was wearing a purple princess dress with a horn cup hanging around her waist. The pollution left over from the battlefield of the gods' war had no effect on her.

Even though a considerable portion of the wreckage left behind by the incarnation of the Monster Mother priesthood had been destroyed in the war, the remaining part was still astonishing.

The girl walked around the countless giant pieces of meat that were still wriggling on the ground, and found the three major priesthoods: [Cnidaria], [Harvest], and [Disease].

Her goal was clear. She stretched out her slender legs and ran straight to the [Disease] priesthood that caused the mother of monsters' defeat, and cheered:
“Found it. Father God said to take the other two back, and let me absorb the priesthood of disease myself.

As long as I get this priesthood, I should be qualified to help Father God, right?"

The person who came was the first intelligent monster that Byron tore out of the jackal god: Alice, who could also be called the [Sick Girl].

Because her origin and the cradle of her growth were too extraordinary, she possessed the strength of a fifth-order pseudo-god just after she was born, and also obtained a series of powers such as [Virus], [Plague], [Love and Beauty], etc.

Although the whole person looks like an exquisite puppet made by nature, which is extremely beautiful, he is also extremely dangerous.

If she were sent to wander around a country at random, she would most likely be like the smallpox virus that the natives encountered, or the plague that destroyed the world among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which is comparable to weapons of mass destruction.

If she didn't already have a name, Byron would have wanted to name her Pandora, who could open the box of disaster and bring all misfortunes to mankind.

There is no doubt that the nature of her power is a perfect match for the priesthood of [Disease].

With the bonus of priesthood, Alice's lethality will be increased exponentially.

She stood in front of the priest of disease that had a red umbrella-like shape and a white pole, which looked like food poisoning and a good feast, and then it kept repeating.

He took off the warrior cup from his waist that Byron had used to hold blood wine, and poured the water of the River Styx from it continuously onto the priesthood.

Zila
The water of the River Styx is not compatible with sea water, but it is like a living thing that cleanses the priesthood thoroughly, emitting pure divine light from the inside out.

Alice picked it up and swallowed it in one gulp, refining it in an instant!

He repeated the same trick and continued to clean up the [Cnidaria] priesthood that looked like a bunch of corals, and was about to continue to collect the [Harvest] priesthood that looked like a golden seed.

But suddenly he stopped.

Because in front of her, the seed suddenly cracked with a "click".

Then, delicate roots and branches as soft as a woman's arms emerged from it and quickly wrapped around the pieces of flesh around it.

Then it digests and absorbs them again, and quickly grows into a giant "mistletoe" that survives by absorbing nutrients from the trees.

During this period, because the growth rate is so fast, it even makes a "slurping" sound like drinking water.

In the occult, the evergreen mistletoe represents hope and abundance, as well as happiness.

But the mistletoe that grew from the [Harvest] priesthood was all scarlet blood in color, and the fruits that grew from it all turned into densely packed human heads.

Except for the first and largest human head which turned into the goddess of harvest, each of the other heads was the appearance of the family members when they were alive, including humans, fish, and sea monsters. It was chilling.

These heads opened their mouths and uttered low, rustling mutterings:

“Harvest: Autumn harvest, winter storage, grass and trees revive”

Then, countless pairs of eyes rolled up and looked at Alice together.

"hiss--!"

The latter was so frightened that his hands shook and he poured out all the water of the River Styx in the Warrior's Cup, then turned around and ran away.

On the sea, Lilith and Kraken were seen falling.

The two sides in the melee no longer had the time to continue fighting. The fifth-order high-level pseudo-gods of both sides flew up one after another, releasing their divine domains to catch their respective main gods.

"Mother Goddess!"

"My lord!"

Lilith and Kraken landed on the decks of the flagship of Grand Duke Vlad III of Thorns, the Quartz Stone, and Byron's Corsair City, respectively.

The two ships that were firing at each other were not far from each other.

Byron, who had regained his identity as Vlad III, also witnessed the tragic plight of the two incarnations of the divine office from the best viewing distance.

Lilith seemed to be possessed by countless evil spirits from nightmares.

The originally fair skin on his body turned into a dirty blue-black color, and would suddenly bulge from time to time, stretched to the limit by the ghost faces and claws.

It was as if a membrane was used to bind hundreds of returning evil ghosts, stretching her body so much that blood was gushing out of all her orifices.

The Kraken was not much better off, his entire body was charred black, and his skin turned black and gray and fell off when he touched it.

What was more serious than the physical injury was His soul.

The greatest characteristic of human history that has continued to this day is the unremitting self-improvement, conquering beasts, conquering nature, conquering monsters, and conquering floods.
The spiritual undercurrent composed of hundreds of millions of people turned into a white flame like a maggot on the tarsal bone, vowing to burn His soul and body.

The two old gods did not figure out what had just happened for a moment and just thought that the other party had secretly used some kind of power or holy relic.

Enduring the intense pain, they each gave orders to the false god leaders of their own churches:
"While Kraken is seriously injured, go and kill him for me!"

"Go and bring back Lilith's priesthood for me!"

The two of them didn't dare to move anymore. They used their divine power to suppress the injuries on their bodies, striving to recover faster than the other.

It would be best if your subordinates could obtain the opponent's priesthood, but if they can't, they can also delay the opponent's recovery speed.

but.

Upon hearing this, the two groups of people under his command looked at each other in surprise.

"Ah I?"

Even though the incarnation of the old god looks miserable, he is essentially no longer the sixth-order demigod he once was. There is a great possibility that he will be surrounded and killed by a group of fifth-order demigods.

But everyone’s power template is different. A myth template with low health can still burst out and kill ordinary pseudo-gods like them. It is likely that whoever takes the lead will die!
What’s the difference between this and risking your own life to delay time?
It is understandable that a false god who has already obtained eternity would hesitate.

However, some loyal warriors did not hesitate.

As soon as the orders from the two incarnations of the old gods were given, Vlad III and the activated Byron immediately stood up.

"I'm here! Mother Goddess is loyal!"

Vlad III had worn the Bone Harp like armor, with horns growing on his head, bone spurs growing on his spine, and a long, dark white tail trailing behind him.

It seems that he no longer cares about himself and fights with all his strength.

"Taiwanese motto: revenge is a must! For the sake of our ancestors!"

The activated Byron summoned Gungnir, the sure-hit spear, and man and spear became one, attacking with cold light.

Boom!

The two men flashed and fought in the sky above the two warships, with thunder rumbling and flashes of light.

Anyone could see that they were trying their best to kill, and many times they were just a hair's breadth away from ripping open the stomach or exploding the head. If one was not careful, one would surely die horribly.

The others had already cursed the ancestors of the pair who had stuck out their heads, but under the pressure of their own god, they had no choice but to follow them and kill each other.

Unfortunately, they didn't have professional fake fight partners. The blood that spurted out was real blood, and the brains that spilled out were also real brains!

Seeing that everyone had been entangled by the opponent, Byron's original body and the strongest incarnation once again replicated what had just happened to Lilith and Kraken.

Before their respective divine arts [Thorn Execution] and [Electromagnetic Slingshot] collided with each other, there was a sudden and obvious pause. The spiritual light dimmed inexplicably, and then they were hit head-on by the opponent's ultimate move.

The level of misery is comparable to that of Lilith and Kraken.

One was covered in crackling electric snakes, while the other was riddled with wounds and turned into a bloody man that could not heal itself, and the bones in his body seemed to be struggling in rebellion.

"This trick again?!

It wasn't Lilith/Kraken who plotted against me just now, it was someone else who did it!"

Seeing that the two of them had the same experience as they had just had, Lilith and Kraken were both led astray.

Subconsciously, he concluded that these two loyal family members/descendants were attacked by a third party just like himself, and alarm bells began to ring in his heart.

But I had no doubt that the two of them were actually playing themselves.

"Vlad III" and "Activated Byron" each fell towards the main camp, and were caught by the fourth-order mythical creatures and pirate commanders serving behind the old gods.

After performing a series of self-torture tactics before the battle, their colleagues all felt that they were extremely loyal, and the two old gods involuntarily shifted their suspicion to other people.

Byron never fought a battle he was not prepared for, until he had piled up all the armor he could and had pretty much figured out everything.

He was about to struggle to get up from the deck and launch a backstab.

call out!call out!call out!
The underwater sea suddenly rolled, and countless mistletoe branches rushed out from the water, once again stretching out the stomach of the "pitcher plant".

The biggest surprise was that no accidents happened on the battlefield against the old gods. The constant "accidental magic" on the old gods came without any surprise.

Food and various crops are meant to be eaten by humans.

But as long as the seeds are left, they can sprout again, grow, and bear new fruit again.

[Harvest Goddess] won a move in chess, and at the beginning she said, "I'll die first as a sign of respect, you guys can do as you please."

In fact, he hid a seed of himself in the priesthood, and when others were killing each other and blood was flowing like a river, he took the opportunity to complete the resurrection.

Although there will be a lot of loss in the transmission of energy in the food chain, the efficiency is only about 10%-20%. The Goddess of Harvest only inherited a small part of the legacy of the Mother of Monsters.

Judging from his aura, he may not be as powerful as the Mother of Monsters at the beginning, but the other two false gods are not in their prime either.

As one thing grows stronger, the other shrinks. The harvest goddess who launched the "autumn harvest, winter storage, revival of plants and trees" has become the oriole after the mantis stalks the cicada.

"Sananos, it's you who's causing all this trouble!"

The appearance of mistletoe was such a coincidence. Looking at the appearance of this parasite that feeds itself by eating others, Lilith and Kraken put the blame on her without hesitation.

Gods are almost omnipotent in their own fields, but as long as they cannot reach the level of the Creator, who is "the One to whom all things belong", they are too biased and cannot see the depth of others' fields without leaving their own fields. Misunderstandings are naturally generated.

The layers of mistletoe branches opened up, revealing the human head fruit that originally belonged to the Goddess of Harvest. She licked her lips as she looked at Lilith and Kraken:

"Oh, that's me. Power has blinded your eyes. In nature, even small grass has its own way of survival.

My fighting ability may not be among the best among all the old gods, but as a god who has also survived from the Paleozoic Era to the present, few can compete with me in survival ability.

You two, please become one with me too!"

Although the words spoken by both sides actually had completely different meanings, they unexpectedly matched each other so well that there was absolutely no flaw.

Then countless wriggling roots of the mistletoe rushed towards Lilith, the Kraken and all the living people on the sea.

Theoretically, no one can stop her from harvesting the fruits at this time.

"No, there is still one last possibility."

With a livid face, Lilith silently looked at her family members and the half-dead Vlad III behind her. The "Abundance Collection System" still had the last blood tax to collect.

Kraken looked at the activated Byron with blood holes that were difficult to heal behind him, and the activated whale hunter who was always guarding by his side, and felt that he might have a chance of survival if he ate them now.

If you don’t eat it now, you may not be able to eat it later.

The two old gods had surprisingly similar thoughts.

But before they could start eating, two half-dead descendants jumped up from the deck again.

Shouting: "Protect the Mother Goddess/Ancestors!", he was about to pass them and rush towards the mistletoe.

Of course Lilith and Kraken would not let them go and die for the Goddess of Harvest, so they quickly raised their hands to stop them.

While I couldn't help but sigh at their loyalty and filial piety, I thought to myself: "Since you are so loyal, you should not resist when I eat you, right?
At worst, I'll eat your head first, so that your death won't be so painful.'

But they didn't realize that just this raise of his hand left both of them wide open!

"I'm sorry, Mother Goddess, my filial piety has gone sour."

"Me too."

In a flash, Byron's real body and incarnation swung their swords and stabbed in the back from the most insidious and difficult to defend angle.

At the same time, the space around the two of them fluctuated, and several figures jumped out from each of them, blasting out the big moves that had been prepared long ago.

Byron received the news of the revival of the Harvest Goddess earlier than Lilith and Kraken.

[Sick Girl] Alice poured the water from the River Styx and turned around and ran away. Water without a source can only be used to wash vegetables and has insufficient killing power.

Fortunately, she had already consumed the [Disease] priesthood, and the Goddess of Harvest was worried that she would get food poisoning like the Mother of Monsters, so she was able to escape.

Alice reported the information to Byron immediately and asked him to make targeted adjustments to the plan.

This is the real person disguised as Vlad III.

Grandpa [Aquaman] Atlas wielded the liquid blade of the trident, and mother Hathaway activated [Divine Makeup·Moonlight Eyeshadow] to transform into the Snow Queen, holding a solid blade and freezing Lilith with a finger.

Byron himself once again sold the last of his shares in Lilith, holding the [Sword in the Stone] and firing at full power, trying to kill her with one blow.

Although Lilith happened to obtain the priesthood of [Betrayal] in advance, she was extremely sensitive to a series of behaviors related to betrayal, and could even get hints from somewhere.

Just as Byron was about to backstab her, she instantly realized the problem.

Under normal circumstances, even if it didn't kill him on the spot, at least he would have no problem dodging it.

But who could blame Byron for having screwed her over so badly before?
The preparation work was done too thoroughly, which weakened the physical and psychological conditions layer by layer.

Lilith is like the emperor in the poem "Why did Your Majesty rebel?" What's the point of knowing who the traitor is? Once you drink a cup of poison, you still have to drink it, and you still have to die.

Killing the king in the street is not a big deal. At most, you will be scolded for a few thousand years.

So, when Byron smashed the anchor, Lilith's stiff head was forever frozen in the final expression of "shock and anger".

Bang!
The whole person exploded into light particles, part of which returned to the world and part of which was absorbed by Byron.

Perhaps it was because the two priesthoods of [Man] and [Betrayal] were too compatible with him, the water of the River Styx rushed into his body impatiently after a slight wash.

Activate Byron.

[Deep Sea Pearl] Evely threw out the top-quality pearl she got from Snow White, also as an auxiliary freeze.

Alice, the [Sick Girl] who had escaped from the hands of the Goddess of Harvest and was still a little out of breath, cast a powerful paralysis aura.

The father-in-law, the whale hunter, immediately attacked his own activated knowledge to prevent him from being controlled by the Kraken and sacrificing his life.

The authentic [Dragon Slayer Sword Reinhardt] that Byron got from his mother-in-law and was eliminated by the Sword in the Stone has returned to the hands of the whale hunter.

Activation knowledge is no match for him at all.

Although the final activated Byron did not have a powerful weapon like the Sword in the Stone, he flipped his palm and a bloodstained golden broken arrow emerged.

He sang an epic poem: "One arrow, the end of an era. Even a noble man can die at the hands of a small person and a stray arrow. Die!"

——[Level 1 Holy Relic: Broken Arrow of the Lionheart]:
"During a rebellion in 1199 of the Silver Age, a soldier defending the city shot King Richard the Lionheart in the shoulder with an arrow.

When the doctor was helping him pull out the arrow, he was too rough and accidentally broke the arrow into his body.

Richard's wound became infected with tetanus and he died ten days later at the age of 42."

“History: Shooting King Lionheart.

Ability: Its attack power against full-health enemies is average, but it can kill enemies with low health with one blow.

Side effects: You will develop a phobia towards bows and crossbows and will never be able to use this relic a second time."

At the beginning, Byron extracted this holy relic in the Empire of the Sun, but he had never found a suitable user to maximize its value.

This time it was just the right time to use it to backstab a divine incarnation who was essentially only at the fifth level.

Whoosh-!
The broken arrow turned into a line of golden light, instantly penetrated into the back of Kraken, and then passed through his chest, blasting his entire upper body into pieces.

The last bit of health of the incarnation of the priesthood was taken away by an arrow, and he couldn't even leave a harsh word.

The two major priesthoods of [nightmare] and [funeral] also fell into Byron's hands.

But these are not the point.

The most important thing is that when the Kraken and the Blue Dragon King he possessed died, the ownership of the "Pirate Code" was automatically transferred to Byron.

The code placed next to the steering wheel of the Pirate City suddenly shone with inspiration.

call--!
The law network suddenly appeared above the battlefield, resonating with the [A Small Amount of Money] that Byron carried with him, and then spread along the three continents one after another.

The [Bronze Law] of the Corridor of Truth, the [Golden Law] of the Paradise of Beasts, and the [Silver Law] of the Dragon Court, finally return to the North Sea Empire where the "Pirate Code" has been rooted for thousands of years.

It then returned to this sea area from the North Sea Empire, forming a perfect triangle.

At this point, the entire known material world surrounding the Sea of ​​Monsters, with three continents and billions of people, are connected together by a network of laws led or partially led by Byron.

This is something that has never happened since the Paleozoic, Mythological, and Silver Ages.

The fragmented ocean of humanity's collective subconscious began to take the shape of a trimaran at an unprecedented speed.

The isolated systems were connected, and the power accumulated over countless years rushed along the three major laws like a flood that had been opened.

Byron, who represents "change", felt this most deeply.

In the past, the Eurasian continent, which had frequent exchanges, has always been the center of the world. Major civilizations have drawn nourishment from each other through trade, war, and cultural dissemination, creating the most brilliant and splendid civilization.

But other continents far away from the center of the world mostly remained in the Neolithic Age, and some people might even be wiped out by the germs carried by outsiders.

Whoever closes his country to the outside world and refuses to change is destined to be completely eliminated by the mighty tide of the world!

When the three continents begin to communicate again, the overall strength of mankind will surely usher in a period of rapid explosion, giving Byron's demigod promotion ceremony a pair of wings to take off.

This is not speculation, but clear information feedback from the human priesthood within the body.

“I feel like I am the representative of humanity, and I can easily promote the spiritual undercurrents and changes in the collective consciousness of humanity.

This is something that even Lilith, the original owner, couldn't do."

An idea occurred to Byron.

clang!clang!clang!
It does not require any digestion process, nor does it need to be recognized by anyone.

The five crowns of the Bay People that he and Violet held together melted instantly like liquid gold, and then merged into one again, transforming into a double crown that shone brightly.

With the bonus of the [Human] priesthood, this crown is significantly different from the one worn by Emperor Frederick III of the Holy Silver Empire. It is more dazzling, more majestic, and more closely related to the human race.

Moreover, it has nothing to do with the Creator or the church.

Countless human shadows emerged, holding up the "Crown" that symbolizes the supreme royal power in the secular world.

Countless voices sang together:
"Humanity Supreme!"

"Long live the Emperor!"

"Praise be to His Eternal Majesty, Byron Lancaster!"

Whether it was Byron or Kraken, they were expected to become "Pirate Emperors" by relying on the "Pirate Code".

But this time, Byron got a big surprise from the abundant accumulation - "Emperor of Humanity".

Finally, the [Crown] slowly fell onto Byron's head, resonating with the surging divine light and power of law in his body, and the strong light shot straight into the sky.

A huge hole appeared in the thick dark clouds, and the golden sunlight turned into a beam of light that only shone on him.

A powerful and domineering aura filled the sea.

A voice said in everyone's ears:
"The emperor doesn't need to be crowned, you just need to submit!"
