Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 682 Extracting the Holy Relic: Echoes of Creation, Changing the World!
"You are Angora, the dark god of the west coast? You are not dead, but have surrendered to humans?!"

Lucifer also did not notice where the [God of Assassination] Amita, the world's number one assassin, suddenly jumped out from.

But after all, He is also an ancient god who has lived for who knows how many years.

The moment Amita made her move, he immediately recognized the essence of her power, which was the binary opposing "old friend" from the mythological era.

No wonder He recognized the wrong person.

If it weren't for the fact that the old god with two faces was so unlucky, because he had been completely destroyed due to the violent conflict with the Sea of ​​​​Source, and all the prepared backup plans were not used, Amita's end would definitely not be much better than Francis IV.

A group of humans with a lifespan of only a few decades, trapped in mortal bodies and with low vision and level, can never be the opponent of the old gods who have lived for thousands of years.

If Byron had not had the "anchor of correct history" and stood on the shoulders of giants, he would probably still be beaten by the White Rose York Family.

Lucifer never doubted that it was humans who stole the last means of resurrection of the old gods. Instead, he firmly believed that Amita's situation was the same as his own body, and both had become containers for the resurrection of the old gods!

He dodged Amita's double swords and quickly retreated, putting some distance between himself and the elusive assassin, then switched to the [Pandora's Box] form and fired a barrage of fire that could melt gold and iron.

Byron changed his conservative strategy of stalling for time and waiting for Amitābha’s promotion, and opened fire with full force, shouting:
"King's Army: Blue-Eyes Three-Headed Dragon, move!"

The Sword in the Stone in his hand was liberated by Thirteen Constraints and transformed into the Storm Anchor.

After finally occupying most of the Dragon King's Court and becoming the [Human Emperor], Byron's royal army also transformed, rising from a national personality to a tribal personality.

The monkeys are not primates. In this dragon court that has been ruled by dragons for countless years, nothing can better represent the common characteristics of all countries than his own dragon incarnation.

A ferocious dragon king with three pairs of dragon wings, three huge dragon heads, and covered in blue and white electric dragon scales roared and pounced into the giant anchor.

The scenes of farming and animal husbandry, the roar of machines, trade plunder, war and sacrifice, etc., which are being played out all over the world, appear one by one.

Eventually, the thoughts and wishes of hundreds of millions of people transformed into a coiled dragon king on the anchor tip, blasting off circles of explosive force field halos and breaking all supernatural powers.

Byron lifted up the Storm Anchor, as if using the North Sea Empire as a fulcrum to pry open the entire Dragon King's Court.

The powerful force ripples overwhelmed the newly formed kingdom of God, causing it to emit a creaking sound.

The body leaped forward, and a blue-white zigzag line blasted through the curtain of fire.

Those extremely unstable fire elements seemed to have turned into inert gases in front of [Secret Sword Art: Hegemony]. They were all as dead as before and did not produce any lethality.

Click!

A dark golden wing that blocked Anchor Blade was cut off in an instant. The twelve wings were the embodiment of the power of this old god, not just beautiful decorations.

Before Lucifer could pick up the fallen wing from the ground, the Styx under Byron's feet rolled it to the bottom of the river.

Byron had previously consumed His [betrayal] ministry, and now he was adept at digesting the old god's limbs and immortal divinity.

Byron scored with one strike, and the "arrogance" on Lucifer's face disappeared again. He finally remembered that he had only been born half a day ago, and he was indeed no match for Byron in a one-on-one fight.

He is now in urgent need of a large amount of blood sacrifice and the fifth element to make up for the energy consumed in the past 1,500 years.

"I have to continue to stall for time until the clown is free."

According to His judgment, the Dark God Angora should return at about the same time as Himself, and He might be able to control the Life-threatening Clown for a short period of time, but it would be impossible to maintain it for a long time.

But before He could figure out how to escape from the siege of two level six fighters and rescue the Life-threatening Clown.

Rumble.
Countless dazzling fireballs exploded in the sky, as if a fire demon was baring its fangs and claws on the barrier of the kingdom of God, spreading wantonly.

Lucifer looked up and his expression changed again.

However, a space crack several kilometers long suddenly appeared in the air twenty kilometers away from the City of Seven Hills, and the Dreadnought Fleet was lined up behind it.

Violet, dressed in a white dress, stood on the legendary battleship, the Dreadnought, and gave orders to the captains of each ship:

"I authorize the launch of the [Demon Slaying Order].

All warships, reload, target the City of Seven Hills, fire a base number of shells rapidly, open fire! "

The crew members knew that their emperor was competing with others for dominance over the material world in the Holy City, and launched another "war of national theft" to usurp power.

But no one has any psychological burden.

Every captain is a whale oil mechanic or a storm knight. The most important selection criteria are three: loyalty, loyalty, and loyalty!
When most of the officers and soldiers, who were Taiwanese and former pirates, heard this order, they were so excited that they trembled all over.

Not long ago, they were considered heretics by the Orthodox Church and a pirate nation hiding in a corner of the continent. Today, they can directly bombard the City of Seven Hills, or use the "demon-killing" order?

They all growled:

"Failure is the devil, success is the king! We are only one step away from the revival of the Bay People as predicted by the Wild Hunt God Woden.

Quick, brothers, fire!"

The artificial ship spirit [Flame Essence] resonates spiritually with the captains who have been enlightened by Byron. Every shell carries the enchanted effect of the solar storm and emits a dazzling red light.

call out!call out!call out!call out!
Another eighty-eight whale oil explosion bombs streaked across the sky, exploding countless fire dragons on the barriers of the Kingdom of God. The light of the chain reaction illuminated the entire night sky.

Their weapons were unlike any previous weapons of war.

In essence, it is just a military industrial product. They can produce as many as needed by running the assembly line. Each naval gun is equipped with 80 shells, which is enough to reduce any coastal city to rubble.

The fortress of the Kingdom of God was crumbling under the purest firepower and the combined attack of [Demon Slaying Order], [King's Army], and [Solar Storm]. The great earthquake caused the buildings in the city to tremble and to fall to pieces.

The power of the masses in Byron's hands has reached an unprecedented level.

Even if the current First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets was teleported back to the mythological era as a whole, in an era where demigods were everywhere and false gods were worse than dogs, it would still be able to conquer the world with real swords and real guns.

After two rounds of salvos.

Om-!
A dark hole with a pitch-black interior and a tiny light escaping from the surface popped up in mid-air.

Two hands stretched out from inside, grabbing the surface of the dark cave with all his strength. His arms swelled and veins bulged, and he pulled his head out little by little.

As a powerful control skill, [Void Land·Star-Devouring Tengu] is obviously qualified, and it controlled a veteran demigod for a full minute.

A minute later, the pulling continued.

"Go back to me."

Amita turned her head and prepared to lock up the Joker again, forming a lock seal with her hands.

Thousands of little black hands stretched out from the void, grabbing the clown's shoulders, arms, hair, and ears, trying to pull him back.

Several dog heads also came out and tore at His flesh.

Just like Lucifer's severed wings, the demigod's true body is not ordinary flesh and blood, but a combination of immortal divinity and priesthood.

Simply cutting them off wouldn't matter, and cutting them into pieces wouldn't matter either, but if they were sealed or digested by someone, they would permanently lose some of their power and authority.

The demigods also use this principle when creating avatars.

At this moment, the powerful gravitational force acted on every cell in the clown's body. Even though he could change into a thousand different forms, he was still sucked into the void as he was unwilling to give up his original body.

I can only shout towards my own kingdom of God:
"Children, come and save me!"

Even though He knew that the low- and middle-sequence clansmen who participated in the war of gods would suffer heavy casualties, He could not care less at this time.

The clansmen in the dark fairy tale park next to them were about to rush up together.

call--!
A white mist suddenly filled the entire park.

However, it was at this time that Edward finally completed his own promotion and became a fifth-order pseudo-god, and by the way, he digested the [Nightmare] priesthood he got from Kraken.

His divine arts and divine domain together constitute the pseudo-god authority [Nightmare Domain].

At the bottom of the collective subconscious of mankind, we use sinful souls to weave a door to the dream world and build our own nightmare maze.

The first layer is the shallow layer, the second layer is the deep layer, and the deepest layer is the lost layer.

Once someone falls into the Lost Layer, reality and dreams will be completely confused, and they will become one of them forever.

Everything here, including time, place, quality, fate, etc. is controlled by Edward. The life, death and even thoughts of outsiders are no longer under his control.

Once you are killed here, you are truly dead.

Of course, this ability can be used to kill people or to enhance oneself. Just pull yourself to the Lost Layer and say to yourself like an ordinary person wakes up from a nightmare in the morning:
"Bad things don't work, good things do!"

When reality and dreams are confused, his words will become reality on the spot.

When he opened his eyes and returned to the real world, he had changed from a clown to his original lich. A colorful hair squirmed in his hand like a small snake, and then burned to ashes.

The Joker's previous contamination of him also seemed to be just a "nightmare" that did not exist at all.

Then he transformed himself, and this time he broke the boundary between life and death, and returned to the appearance of a living person, with a heartbeat and body temperature.

It seemed that even the incident in which the Kraken's Touch wiped out the entire Lancaster clan had never happened.

Although it was a bit inappropriate, Edward's first thought was that this power would allow him and his headless knight fiancée to have countless new and exciting ways of playing.

Snapped!
Edward raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a proper tuxedo appeared on his body. He pulled out a top hat from the air and put it on his head. He also put on a monocle with a thin gold chain, and transformed into a magician.

He saluted gracefully to all the panicked clansmen, grinning and showing his white teeth:

“Everyone, it’s nightmare time.

First copy: The Elegy of the Rapedo Mercurius, Escape from the Palace of Vermeil (Chapter 570).

The white mist spread rapidly, engulfing most of the clan members. "Ahhhhhh."

In an instant, a shrill scream was heard.

The high-quality fear aura of these clans is destined to become the nourishment for Edward's rapid growth.

With this human resources manager's talent for "team building", maybe he can really stand shoulder to shoulder with [Kraken, the Sleeping God] before the arrival of the Luan Age.

The Joker was gritting his teeth. Edward didn't need to hold off his clan for too long. Just a few minutes would probably be the end of the battle.

"Lucifer, save me! I am willing to make a covenant with you and obey your orders from now on."

Two long rainbows immediately rushed towards the Playful Clown one after the other.

Lucifer wants to save Him, and Byron wants to take the opportunity to end them both.

Byron had already seen the two-color light strips above the heads of the two demigods.

The red stripes of light above Lucifer and the Joker's heads were as long as the golden stripes of light above Byron's own head, making the names of the two demigods appear blood red. To say that they were extremely evil would be an insult to the word.

When Lucifer was a fallen angel and a devil, he killed countless people.

[The Clown] also stepped on the corpses of humans and rose to power out of their endless fear. He is extremely evil in this judgment system.

The two gods are equally matched.

At this time, Byron not only obtained the Pope's power of excommunication, but also greatly increased his lethality against those "red-name" criminals, just to give them a sudden and severe blow.

Lucifer was closer to the Joker, arriving before Byron, and took a defensive stance like a bull.

“The function of the Joker cannot be replaced in the short term, and the person must be saved.

As long as I can block Lancaster's full-strength attack, maybe the Joker can break free on his own, and then we can work together to fight back."

The thought just came up.

Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the sky. A corner of the new barrier of the Kingdom of God was breached by the [Demon Slaying Order], and blazing flames quickly filled the sky above the City of Seven Hills.

Reinforcements from the surrounding First Empire of the Sun also swarmed in, led by a group of fifth-level legends and false gods.

Byron's anchor even came before His eyes.

Lucifer was faced with a difficult decision. Should he support himself or not in order to save the clown?

And this old god, who had once faced the Creator head-on, did not hesitate for even a thousandth of a second. He suddenly turned the sword and chopped off the clown's head with one blow.

The remaining half of the body was immediately swallowed up again by the Star-Devouring Heavenly Dog.

When Lucifer hung the head, which only had the core [Destiny] priesthood left, on his waist as a talisman, the clown's face was still filled with astonishment, and he said in disbelief:

"My immortality and my divine office! Is this how you saved me?"

Byron on the opposite side was not too surprised.

After just a moment of distraction, I actually felt that it was perfectly normal for a madman like Lucifer to make such a decision.

Just like when merchant ships encounter pirates they often voluntarily discard some of their precious cargo.

As long as the pirates were content to make a small profit without having to fight, the merchant ships would naturally escape disaster.

This time he lost nine-tenths of it in one go. Even Byron, the pirate emperor, had to admire Lucifer's magnanimity as a god.

Although “this batch of goods” does not belong to Him.

Lucifer's movements were smooth and he soared into the sky immediately after taking off the head.

The entire City of Seven Hills, which had transformed into the kingdom of the old gods, also rolled inward as he waved his hand, transforming into a large red star.

The burning divine power repelled all outsiders, including the Clown Kingdom, and then the divine light burst out and soared into the sky.

Rumble.
With a huge sound of gas explosion, it headed straight towards the Beast Paradise of the Southern Continent, flashed a few times in the clouds and then disappeared.

The old god didn't even try to take the risk of holding on, and just ran away.

In order to suppress the clown's corpse, which had only the "animal nature" left after losing his head and turned into a violent incarnation, and his dark fairy tale paradise, Byron was a step too slow and allowed Lucifer to escape successfully.

But at this moment he also vaguely understood how this old god, who had once directly rebelled against the Creator, had survived.

"He treats his enemies, his 'mother', and his allies all the same. He deserves to have the last laugh."

By the time Byron was free, the City of Seven Hills had completely disappeared, leaving only a huge pit. Groundwater had surged up and turned the pit into a small lake.

The most crucial thing is that Lucifer also took away the only complete zero-level holy relics [Golden Ark of the Covenant] and [Slate of the Holy Word]. The legal network over the Old Continent was torn apart, and the foundation of the legal network began to crumble.

Sister Teresa of Mercy, who came as a reinforcement, rushed to Byron and reminded him hastily:
“Your Majesty, we need to replace the Golden Ark of the Covenant with another original copy of the Law immediately.

However, the iron laws of the royal power of various countries are not of sufficient level. The only possible alternatives now are the [Golden Code] in the hands of Her Majesty Catherine or the [Bronze Code] in the hands of Her Majesty Cleopatra.

It’s a pity that the two codes were created so quickly that their power levels will decline significantly after they are grafted together. I’m afraid it will be easier for the clan to invade the material world in the future.”

After listening to the advice of the highest-ranking clergyman under his command, Byron did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at his logbook.

[Secret: A fatal duel in the Triple Point, historical influence 100] The unlocking density jumped from 10% to 25%.

The secret revealed by Lucifer should be roughly the same.

This world also stands against humanity. If it weren’t for the three gods of humanity, “He” would have already knocked on the door successfully.

[Secret: The Corruption of the Pope and the Pre-Divine Council, Historical Influence 69] The decoding density jumped from 57% to 68%.

Apparently there is a follow-up to Lucifer’s plan to return to the material world, and we need to keep an eye on what’s happening in the southern continent.

However, the decoding density of another item [Secret: Prophecy, Kingship, and the prophecy of racial revival by the god of the Wild Hunt, Woden, historical influence 69] finally jumped from 95% to 100%.

Byron, the "historical revisionist who moved the latitude and longitude of the times", once again set things right and gave the people of Taiwan a new destiny!
You also get new entries and a chance to draw a holy relic.

Entry: [How can I become the emperor of mankind if you don’t work hard? ]

"Expand the scope of your collective power. The more extraordinary people you have under your command, and the higher your rank, the faster your spirituality and mental realm will grow.

It's like a middleman taking a cut, and being able to continue to receive feedback from every promotion of its own people.

The spirituality they enhance through daily meditation will pry open the pure spirituality that has settled in the ocean of humanity's collective subconscious, and a share equivalent to one thousandth of the increase will belong to you.

After being condensed layer by layer, it is elevated to the demigod level, which is no different from what one can obtain through one's own practice.

You can also designate specific groups of people to share the profits.

Just like the leadership uses the company's platform, people, water, and electricity to make their own money, those who don't work hard are not my people! "

Byron glanced at this entry, then at the old entry [Why not eat meat] that could transform idle entries into spirituality, and shook his head vigorously:
"The title of a country has endowed its people with a collectivist 'berserker gene' that allows them to withstand great pressure. If I use this term again, won't my empire be in tatters?"

Then, he decisively equipped himself with the equipment.

The emperor's subjects, unite and wipe out all the old supernatural powers first!
Then he drew this one-time holy relic. When he saw its introduction, he felt both happy and regretful on his face.

Legend has it that the church has a top-level, one-time holy relic called [Echo of the Creator]: "I said, let there be light."

Using it can achieve the highest level of words that affect the whole world at once!
With this treasure in hand, it would be extremely easy to destroy all of humanity.

All you need to do is change the boiling point of this world from 100° to 36° for five minutes, and you'll be guaranteed that not many creatures will survive.

Byron was now certain that the church had no such weapon of mass destruction.

If there really was such a hidden treasure, given the greed of the Orthodox leaders, they would have used it as a universal wish-making machine to gain eternal life.

"The one I got is real, although it's just a castrated version."

Byron spread out his palm, and a ball of light with a mouth appeared in his palm.

This relic is also an echo of the Creator.

However, it is only equivalent to the highest authority of the Creator level in the [Silver Law], which allows Byron to touch the seventh level of the law, and does not have the same power as a wishing machine.

In fact, this level alone is precious.

As long as Byron wanted, he could ask the Creator to directly say: "Saint Byron is the Holy Spirit, the Messiah King" such official certification, or even let Him say: "Saint Byron is my long-lost brother, and he will inherit everything from me" without any problem.

But he also knew the priorities of things, and if the Silver Law was not improved, all these things would be meaningless.

He took out a book bound with bagasse paper from the Kingdom of God and slapped it on the ball of light. The sound spread across the three continents along the legal network:
"I say: From today on, the underlying rules of the ocean of humanity's collective subconscious will switch from the Ten Commandments of Man and God to the Code of Saint Byron!"

The original copy of the law in Byron's hand was the "Code of St. Byron", for which he provided the outline and was drafted by his uncle and aunt.

It is also the world's first civil code.

At this moment, not only were the three laws of silver, gold and bronze unified under this code, but new legal provisions also appeared in the skies around the world.

The material world also transitioned from implementing the will of the Creator to implementing the will of Byron.

From the "divine narrative" that reveres God to the "human narrative" that puts people first!
[World Change] The ceremony is still one step short of promoting the Industrial Revolution to the whole world, but the legal documents have paved the way for it.

There is no longer any obstacle between Byron and becoming a true demigod!
