Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 641 Half-step Sun King, Pope Meridian

Ever since Byron slashed the harvest goddess in the sky with his sword, the dark clouds in the sky have never gathered again.

At this time, there was only a blood-red setting sun on the horizon, which reflected the entire sea red, as well as the ghost ships that looked like giant beasts on the sea.

The shouts and cries of killing on the battlefield became quieter and quieter, and the screams of the many deep-sea clansmen of the Deep Diving Church gradually became lower and lower, until they were completely silent. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the sea water seemed to be three points redder under the setting sun.

As the last false god of the clan fell, a cry of admiration rang out on the battlefield:

"Praise my Lord!"

"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Praise the King of the Wild Hunt!"

"Hahaha, we won! We actually wiped out a branch of the Old God Church."

"We wiped out not just one group, but two and severely damaged five groups!
The Blood Beast Lair and the Deep Dive Church were completely destroyed, and the Druid Sect, Pure Evil, the Worm Temple, and Voodoo all suffered heavy losses.

Even the lower and middle levels of the Twilight Cathedral, which were in the best condition, suffered heavy losses, and the Archbishop and Iron-Blooded Knight Gangro was also killed.

This is the greatest victory we humans have ever seen since the Old Gods invaded the Corridor of Truth."

“Did you record everything with the photo stone?
Once lighthouses are built along the coast, they will be played in loop in all the major wizarding kingdoms. Human morale will surely be boosted, and the day of counterattack is not far away."

No one cares what specific means his emperor used to achieve this great victory. History is written by the victors anyway.

Undercover lurking can turn into bravely breaking into the enemy camp, sneak attacks and backstabs can also turn into taking advantage of the enemy. Even if there is any gossip with Lilith, it is just feeding the tiger with one's own body.
Anyway, in the legends passed down by word of mouth, the positive image of "Messiah" Saint Byron will only become more and more majestic!

Wow.
The kingdom of God was reopened, and many marine demihuman civilians who had taken refuge there returned to the sea.

Relying on their unique racial advantages, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield and collected the spoils.

Some dragged back the dead bodies of sea monsters from the sea and cleaned up the ruins left by the successive wars in the underwater kingdom.

Some of them salvaged sunken bronze cannons, swords, and rare objects from the bottom of the sea and dragged them to the largest island nearby. The imperial fleet also docked here, and they will repair on the spot tonight.

This island called Dolphin Bay is very large, with mountains, forests, fresh water and arable land, making it a perfect starting port for the return journey.

Engineers have begun surveying overnight in preparation for building a permanent naval port here.

Originally, [Noah's Ark] was also stuck on the edge of this island, continuously discharging polluted water into the sea, which caused countless creatures to mutate.

With Byron, the father of monsters, all pollution naturally became a thing of the past.

Every time the Marine Demi-Man looked up at the tall figure standing on the island, he felt as if he were in a dream.

It is hard to believe that the dark cloud that has hung over the ten underwater kingdoms for decades has completely dissipated today.

But soon the disbelief in my heart turned into endless fanaticism.

At this time, Byron is their sun!

"That emperor is the grandson of our Majesty the Sea King. From now on, the marine demi-humans will finally have someone to back them up."

“By the way, they said that the North Sea Empire is at the end of the third circulation belt, and we are at the starting point of the circulation belt. As long as the port is built, the North Sea Empire will station troops here.

Why don't we go and help them clean up Dolphin Bay first? With a garrison there, we'll have more confidence."

"Go together, go together!"

A group of simple marine demihumans didn't even bother to clean up their homes, and rushed to the island to help.

After Byron and Alice eliminated the last remnants of the virus, they were also counting their harvest.

He has used the [Sword in the Stone] to recycle all the polluted members of the Deep Dive Church and return them to this world.

In addition, he once again put into practice the motto of the Storm Riders and the Lancaster family: "I am the pioneer", and his spirituality was finally raised to 24.9.

Byron used to be unable to tell where the nutrients went when the Sword in the Stone returned the polluted creatures to their original state. He just thought that they were returned to the world itself.

But now that Byron can communicate with Alaya, he clearly feels that this world is also divided into several parts.

Most of it returns to the basics of humanity: the collective subconscious and Alaya, and only a small part gives back to nature and the geomantic nodes.

Byron looked thoughtful:
"If my guess is correct.

Many irrationalities in the upper layer of the current material world can be explained.

The great flood caused by the Sea of ​​Essence is a calamity for all living things, but for the world itself, it may be a long-awaited God-given opportunity!

After all, if it were in a world without magic, this kind of collective consciousness would never appear.

It is true that the Sea of ​​Element is a brutal invader, but the interests of the victims themselves may not be the same.

Of course, these are not issues I am qualified to care about for now. It won’t be too late to explore them when I reach the highest level in the human world.”

At this time, the decryption density of [Secret: Prophecy, Kingship and the Prophecy of Racial Revival by the God of Wild Hunt, Woden, Historical Influence 69] has reached 90%, but it stopped there and no longer moved.

Now Byron has achieved the same accomplishments as the former Pirate Emperor [Blue Dragon King] Reinhardt, and even surpassed him.

But he guessed that if he wanted to unlock the secrets at 100%, he would need to truly become the supreme being of mankind and completely open a new chapter in the history of the Taiwanese people.

"Take your time. I'm still young and there's no rush. Even if I have to wait, I can outlast those old guys.

Time is on my side.”

After the battle, the total number of nominal battleships and battlecruisers of level four and above in the Ghost Fleet exceeded eighty.

You should know that the invincible fleet of the Kingdom of Castile only had more than 100 battleships of level three or above.

In just a few years, they are almost catching up with the maritime power overlords' hundreds of years of accumulation.

Even if a fleet of dreadnoughts comparable to the total tonnage of all the navies of the Silver Continent were launched in one year, it would only be a future that would soon be realized.

If Castile and the church behind them do not take action, they will soon have no chance to do so.

Moreover, the increase in military power was not as great as Byron's own gains.

During this time, he received [fertility] and [thunderstorm] from Ishtar; [kingship] and [sky] from Horus; and [the underworld] from Osiris of the Ennead.
Today I got [Human] and [Betrayal] from Lilith, and [Cnidaria] from the Mother of Monsters.

Unconsciously, he already had eight perfectly suitable priesthoods before taking that crucial step to the sixth level.

There is also the [Harvest] that has been given to Catherine, the [Disease] that Alice has absorbed, and the [Nightmare] and [Funeral] that she is not going to absorb herself.

This wave is simply the fall of the old gods, and Byron is full.

Although he failed to perfectly resolve the invasion of the divine incarnations that were scattered like stars in the sky, he at least reaped the first wave of benefits and his strength expanded rapidly.

Byron also had plans for the priesthood that he would not need:

“I will leave the [Funeral] priesthood to my father, and let him become a subordinate god under my [Underworld] priesthood.

After all, even though it was promoted to the spirit of a legendary battleship, the Blue Dragon King was essentially a ghost ship, always bearing the responsibility of transporting the undead to the edge of the world.

The soul's return to the collective subconscious is the essence of 'funeral'.

This priesthood can definitely serve as Dad’s main priesthood.”

“The [Nightmare] priesthood could have been given to my mother, but she already had the [Moon] priesthood that was more in line with her own path, and her dreamy fairytale witchcraft was not so compatible with nightmares.

The Storybrooke School already has two generals, the little girl who sells nuclear bombs and the Snow White who sells powder, so there is no need to add a dark mermaid princess.

Let's leave this priesthood to my cousin Edward.

At the beginning, after he performed the first ritual of the Book of the Dead and transformed into a lich, the side effect that appeared was the Sleepless One (Chapter 320).

From then on, he no longer needed to sleep. As long as he could find a way to relieve his tired soul, he could completely replace sleep and stay awake for 24 hours.

You can use soul whips to urge the undead cattle and horses to work day and night, and gain promotion from it.

Just hearing the name 'Sleepless' is a perfect match for the nightmare priesthood!
Edward, the lich, coupled with his sister-in-law Anne Neville, the headless knight whose heads would fall off at any time, no one would believe that they were not nightmares.

With Edward's immature look, if I hadn't rescued my sister-in-law, it's not impossible for him to create a world with Anne in his dream with the help of the [Nightmare] priesthood."

Byron arranged all the spoils in his hands, and sighed with some regret:
“The most suitable position for my father-in-law should be the core priesthood of Prince Beelzebub of Gluttony, [Gluttony].

It perfectly matches his sky-curtain behemoth that only eats and does not poop, and has unlimited growth.

Once he has this, it won't be a problem for his father-in-law to defeat a divine incarnation in a one-on-one fight.

But it doesn't matter, even if we don't meet him this time, he will enter the material world again sooner or later, and then we can help him get it back."

In addition, after obtaining the imperial enclave of the Ten Undersea Kingdoms, half of the [Sun King] (remnant) that Byron had extracted from the civilized firewood gatherers had been condensed.

Byron was filled with joy as he felt the majestic power gradually awakening.

“The position of emperor has existed since ancient times, but the Sun Crown of the British Empire has never been owned by any country.

I have a feeling that once the title of "Sun King" is fully realized, the North Sea Empire and I should be able to obtain unprecedented benefits.

Since the sun and storms are the mortal enemies of the deep sea, is it possible for the sun and storms to become nemesis when they become one?

We can't wait any longer. I will call the cousins ​​Hawkins and Francis, who are the guardians of the kingdom [Lord of the Nest], over here right now.

Let's start a voyage around the world with my most powerful living knowledge incarnation, and achieve all the great achievements of countless navigators before us!"

As a man of action, he acted as soon as he thought of it. He immediately used the legal network to connect with the guardian of his own kingdom and activated the innate skill of every leader - drawing big plans.

On the other side, Salant, who was in great form today, drank a bottle of quick-acting hair growth agent and four or five bottles of [Blood Brew·Poodle] and finally recovered.

He returned to his handsome and muscular appearance.

Although with his handsome face, he can definitely pull off a bald hairstyle.

He is not the blue-haired Barbarossa Helding who needs to rely on the power of others to intimidate others and can bear the consequences of his head breaking and blood flowing but cannot mess up his hair.

But Best obviously minds the fact that her fiancé is bald before marriage, because that hair is too shiny for cats.

And the foot feeling is not good, it is easy to slip when stepping on his head. After the battle, both of them turned into human form and landed together on a semicircular island called Dolphin Bay.

[Sea King] Atlas, who was still directing his people to clean up the camp, suddenly felt his body shaken violently when he raised his head.

The old man didn't even notice his grandson whose face was filled with "Come and praise me". His heart and eyes were completely occupied by the cat god Best.

There was a nostalgia for youth in his eyes, as well as a hint of deeply hidden admiration.

How many young people of their generation had not admired the two extremely beautiful princesses of the Ptolemaic dynasty?
But today, more than three hundred years later, there are only a few people of the same generation left, and seeing old friends whom we haven’t seen for many years still makes us sigh.

Fortunately, Atlas has experienced the ups and downs of life, and the impulse and admiration of his youth have long since become the most precious treasures deep in his memory.

He did not lose his composure in front of the Cat God, and saluted by touching his chest:
"Your Highness Best, long time no see. Thank you and the Desert Empire for your help."

In order to give his grandfather a surprise, Salant specifically told Byron not to leak his information.

Until this time, Atlas was completely unaware of the series of earth-shaking changes that were taking place in the desert empire.

The cat god slightly raised his jade-white, pointed chin and corrected the way he addressed himself:
"Atlas, I've told you so many times, call me Queen!"

Then she subconsciously glanced at her fiancé, and her domineering aura suddenly faded. She shyly called out to this old friend who had pursued her:
"Hey, Grandpa!"

Then he became strong again in a very arrogant manner:

"From now on, you call me Queen, and I call you Grandpa. We'll talk about our own affairs. Got it?"

The old man shuddered and wondered if his ears were not working properly.

"what?"

One day, the goddess in his dream suddenly called him grandpa. This was a bizarre scene that Atlas had never imagined in his dreams, and his brain crashed on the spot.

At this time, a voice that seemed very familiar in memory sounded from above my head:
"You guys did a great job. You didn't even ask me to help."

The old man suddenly heard a voice, but his [Divine Vision] was completely unaware of the other party's existence, and all the scales on his body suddenly exploded.

"It's a demigod!!! And there are enemies?!"

He suddenly turned his head and saw a stunning beauty with a golden crown on her head, colorful wings on her body and fair skin shining with precious light slowly descending from the sky.

Not only him, but everyone on the island stopped breathing after just one look at the newcomer. Even the entire ocean was dimmed, with only the Dolphin Bay quietly lit up.

The other person's aura was extremely strong and too dazzling. Atlas felt that the other person looked very familiar, but he didn't dare to recognize him for a moment. After a while, he cautiously asked:

"You are Her Majesty the Queen? Have you been promoted to the sixth-rank demigod?"

If he was reminiscing about his lost youth when facing Best, then when facing the Queen, the old man was silent as a cicada.

She had been known as the "most beautiful woman in the world" more than three hundred years ago, and was also the strongest among her peers. Which of the talented people from the surrounding human forces had not been beaten by her?
Her family background, appearance, and ability are all impeccable. Her peers feel inferior even when standing in front of her, let alone pursuing her.

When a group of old brothers were bragging, no one dared to pursue her.

I can only say that whoever marries Best will have to spend a lot of money to invite others to get drunk for three days at the "Succubus Dream" hotel opened by the neutral activated knowledge "Posture" as compensation.

It is said that you can learn all the "knowledge" here, easily find those famous "socialites" in history, and experience supreme happiness.

He had no idea what fish connecting scales, butterfly flips, sea eagles flying, and cranes embracing each other meant.

Unfortunately, in the end, none of them succeeded in winning the beauty's heart.

Now most of the old brothers are buried, but the goddess of her youth is still so dazzling that it is hard to look directly at her.

"As you can see, Atlas."

Cleopatra waved her hand, and the kingdom of God opened, spitting out countless wood, stone and other materials for building the port, as well as wine, food and other military supplies.

Seeing this, Atlas quickly thanked him:

"Your Majesty, the Mermaid Kingdom will pay your military expenses."

Back when the Corridor of Truth only had activated knowledge, life was a little easier, as not all activated knowledge were corrupted.

But during the years of invasion by the clan, all human forces had a hard time, and each one was poorer than the other.

The Desert Empire is only slightly better, and he dare not take advantage of the Desert Empire.

The name of the Sedge River Flower Snake is not for nothing.

In the eyes of all the senior officials in the Corridor of Truth, Cleopatra VII has always been the queen who exudes domineering aura.

In those beautiful blue eyes there was only a desire for power and a cold indifference that looked down upon everything. He looked at everyone as if they were weeds.

Others see the sea of ​​stars, but in her eyes there are mountains of swords and seas of fire!
If you are not careful, you will suffer badly at her hands.

But this time is an exception.

The most beautiful woman in the world waved her hand nonchalantly at him:
"No need, someone has already paid for it."

She turned to face Byron, who was walking towards her, and took the initiative to greet him, giving him a charming smile that captivated everyone:
"Congratulations on your coronation as emperor."

Then he reminded in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

“According to the agreement, although I didn’t make a move in the end, I still have to pay the balance afterwards.

I just differentiated into a second incarnation, and there is a space in my stomach. Remember to come early in the evening."

After saying that, she waved and turned away. She didn't wear a mask today. As long as she was here, no one else had to do any work.

Byron was left looking at the beautiful figure from behind, and suddenly felt a little "hissing".

The sorrow and fear of a married man all come from lack of firepower.

At this moment, he was extremely eager to be promoted to the sixth level, and murmured in his heart:
"If it doesn't work, let's open it again. [Baguo]."

The old man is the chief wizard of the Crystal Palace School and a veteran playboy.

Although he couldn't hear their whispers, he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the way the queen looked at her grandson.

Looking at his grandson, and then at his great-grandson, he suddenly felt very happy:

“Old brothers, after three hundred years, I am the winner after all!
What is the Habsburg dynasty of the Silver Continent? Our Tudor dynasty is the best! "

at the same time.

The east coast and the center of church power, the city of seven hills, the papal basilica of St. Peter's Basilica.

Not only was this the most important cathedral of the Church of the Creator, but the entire City of Seven Hills was shrouded in strong holy light.

Hidden in the deepest part of the holy light are seven layers of a vast network of laws, centered on the [Slate of the Holy Word] in the church that records the Ten Commandments of God and Man, and spreads to the entire material world.

Although the religious war lasted for a whole year as the Protestant "Anti-Christians" and the traditional "Orthodoxy" split.

A considerable number of Night Watchmen, Ascetics, Paladins and the [Saints] who led them broke out and joined the camp of the Protestant princes, causing the spiritual light here to dim visibly to the naked eye.

Only seven saints and one pope remain.

But just relying on the [Papal Triple Crown] that is comparable to that of a demigod, St. Peter's Cathedral is still the undisputed strongest force in the Silver Continent!
In the solemn and magnificent hall, a divine council attended by all seven saints of the Orthodox Church and the Pope is being held.

St. John, St. Simon, St. Lucia, St. Peter, St. Andrew, St. William and St. Matthew, all seven current saints are here, and most of them are already quite old.

Because names are related to power and anchoring, saints still use their own real names after canonization, rather than directly inheriting the names of the twelve disciples.

However, the seven people standing at the top of the continent at this time did not have the demeanor of saints at all, and they were arguing with each other.

"Having Protestant traitors is already a headache enough, the Silver Continent does not need the birth of an emperor who symbolizes the pinnacle of secular power!
He must be killed as quickly as possible.

Although Byron Lancaster has a brilliant record, as long as we find this generation's "Old Man of the Mountain" Assassin, we will definitely be able to complete the assassination mission."

“Your Excellency Saint John, you are too extreme!

Isn't it what we want to see that Lancaster himself goes to the Corridor of Truth to wade into the muddy water?
With him standing on the front line against Luo Yanji and the old gods' followers, those strange things continued to consume the military strength of the people of Taiwan.

Sooner or later, geniuses will die in the repeated battles with powerful enemies. No matter how many times they win, it only takes one failure.

In history, how many kings have died at our hands like this? "

“No, Master Saint Simon, we can’t let him grow any longer. What if he’s not worn out to death?
If he continues to win, believers will only know St. Byron and not our church."

The news that Byron was officially crowned emperor had apparently spread back, but there were serious differences of opinion among the seven saints on how to deal with the emperor of the North Sea Empire.

The consensus is that everyone wants Byron to die, but the method of death is still under discussion.

The seven people argued for half an hour, but each of them had his own reasons and no one could convince the other.

It seems that the meaningless quarrel will continue endlessly.

An old voice suddenly sounded from the Pope's throne:

“Since you’re worried that Saint Byron isn’t dying fast enough.

Why not try a two-pronged approach?

One party went to find an agent to hire the Assassins so as not to reveal their tracks and eventually implicate us.

The other party goes and draws a line for him.

Doesn't he like to explore? Then deprive him of the right to share the land of the southern continent, and leave it exclusively to Castile, who supports us, and then let him explore the most dangerous east and give him exclusive exploration rights.

Giving young people more responsibilities is also a way of showing our love for them.

If the blade breaks in the middle of the process, it only proves that he is unworthy of being trained and has nothing to do with us.

This line might as well be called: The Papal Meridian, hehehe."
