I'm not just human!

Gunshots rang out, and the chaotic scene quieted down for a moment.

The pirates turned around in horror to find that one of them had picked up a flintlock pistol, shoved it into his mouth, and smashed his own head!

Blood splattered in a fan shape behind the pirate's head, but he fell backward with a look of relief on his face.

After a brief silence, the fear spread even further!

Many pirates knelt on the ground in despair and cried out, while others followed the example of the pirate who had just committed the crime, raising their flintlock pistols or revolvers and smashing their own heads. Many more pirates desperately searched for ways to escape, even though they knew it was futile.

Xia Fa grew increasingly astonished as he looked around in the small compartment below deck. Who exactly was this person who was chasing after Greenbeard? How could he have terrified these vicious pirates so much that they were even willing to commit suicide?

It is important to know that among the five pirate emperors, the pirates under the command of the "Roaring Emperor" were the most notorious and the most hated.

They might even kill poor fishermen for a boatload of fish, or worse, wipe out the entire fisherman's family on shore.

Recently, it was Greenbeard and his pirates who have been occupying the coastal waters outside Rum City and preventing fishermen from fishing.

But these pirates, who practically live on the edge and lick blood from the tip of a knife, were actually scared like this?

"Could it be that another pirate emperor has come to hunt them down..."

The thought popped into Xia Fa's mind, but he shook his head.

"No, this is almost equivalent to starting a war directly. After all, Greenbeard is a demigod, and he is already quite important under the Roaring Emperor."

Xia Fa became increasingly curious. Since he couldn't leave for the time being, he might as well watch the show.

Of course, it is possible to leave if one really wants to. For example, if this mysterious being suddenly appears, and is an angel or even a ruler, the burning sensation in one's heart meridian will be triggered as if by stress, and then one can use it to activate "Starlight" to forcibly break through the spatial confinement and escape.

Therefore, Xia Fa would rather see that mysterious being appear.

"What's the panic! What's the panic! Even if your head is ripped off, the scar will be as big as a bowl. Don't act like a sissy. The worst that can happen is you die!"

A rough, hoarse voice rang out, the door to the captain's cabin opened, and a burly man with a huge belly and short, thick limbs staggered out.

He had no hair, his head was completely bald, and his left eye was blind, but he didn't wear an eye patch. Instead, the terrifying eye hole, which looked as if it had been burned, was exposed, with the skin inside sticking together like a spider web.

What is most striking is his full green beard, which grows haphazardly like weeds, yet resembles the majestic mane of a lion.

"Green Beard..."

Xia Fa's eyelids drooped slightly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

In any case, I did see the person I wanted to kill.

Moreover, he immediately deduced that this green-bearded man was only a demigod, or rather, he was indeed a demigod.

No wonder he dared to swagger around in the coastal waters. In fact, if the angels and rulers of the Augu Kingdom didn't take action, Greenbeard really had nothing to fear.

What's more, he also has this pirate ship that can "travel through the Protoss."

The man with the green beard was holding a bottle of whiskey and appeared to be drunk, but his only remaining eye was extremely bright, indicating that he was perfectly lucid.

"The Emperor has already stopped Him. He can't come. He's using 'eternal conditions' to try and keep us here. Don't panic, this spatial confinement will be lifted soon."

Conditions are eternal?

Xia Fa, who was eavesdropping and watching, was suddenly startled.

The condition is eternal; that's one of the top ten overlord-level secret contracts!

Initially, the three supreme-level secret contracts that Xia Fa had heard of were Eternal Conditions, Forge of All Things, and Silver Throne.

Even now, he doesn't know much about the Eternal Conditions, a top-tier secret contract; he just feels that the name is very unusual.

I had a chance to ask Dick Tudor last time, but unfortunately, Dick Tudor had guests, which caused me to be teleported away.

"Bluebeard was actually being hunted down by someone with whom he had signed an eternal contract? Among the secret abilities of eternal contracts, are there those that can imprison space?"

Xia Fa was somewhat surprised, but then suddenly felt that she had made the right decision to come.

Now, unless it's another opponent with a hegemonic secret agreement, it's difficult for ordinary people to pose a threat to me.

This is a good opportunity to examine the abilities related to the Eternal Conditions, a supreme-level contract, and gather some information.

On the deck, Green Beard was laughing heartily, showing no sign of panic. Instead, he gulped down a mouthful of wine.

Then, he drew his flintlock pistol from his waist and pointed it at a pirate who was screaming and running around on the deck in extreme terror.

Click.

He pulled the trigger.

boom!

The pirate's entire body exploded, but before his flesh and bones could scatter, they all rushed toward the flintlock pistol in the green-bearded man's hand and were sucked into the muzzle.

The flintlock musket originally had a peach wood handle and a black iron shaft, looking quite ordinary. However, after absorbing the pirate's flesh and blood, it turned golden, and rose patterns spread across the shaft.

"I was going to just find any fisherman to feed this baby to me, but this kid Beijet is so annoying with his howling. If you want to die, you can continue."

Greenbeard casually tucked the golden flintlock pistol into his waistband, his gaze sweeping over all the pirates on the deck.

He clearly remembered the pirate's name, yet he still casually killed him and fed him to his sealed artifact. This immediately chilled the hearts of the pirates, making them even more terrified of the already fearful Greenbeard.

In an instant, the once noisy deck became quiet. Many pirates silently picked up their oars, chose an empty spot, and were ready to row at any moment.

Xia Fa watched from a small compartment below deck, secretly alarmed. Although this green-bearded man was only a demigod, his methods were quite ruthless and sophisticated.

This one move, making an example of someone to scare others, immediately brought the situation under control.

"If what he says is true, and this ship can soon perform another Protoss traverse, then I will make my move just before the traverse begins..."

Xia Fa's gaze narrowed slightly. The star spirit traversed distances of thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers, sometimes even reaching hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers, depending on the extraordinary individual with similar secret contract abilities or the secret treasure sealing object with corresponding abilities.

As for the Green Beard ship, its first trip would probably cover at least 100,000 kilometers.

If I wait until I've finished traveling before taking action, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get back.

If the mysterious being chasing Greenbeard was indeed stopped by the "Roaring Emperor," one of the five pirate emperors, then after killing him, I could immediately leave with my Star Power, and after interfering with the divination, I wouldn't leave anything behind.

Unfortunately, we will never see this mysterious person who signed the "perpetual terms" agreement.

On the deck, Greenbeard casually pulled over a chair and sat down, his enormous, short, fat body leaning against the wall of the captain's cabin.

The other pirates silently lowered their heads, waiting for the first mate or captain to give the order to row again.

The first mate, named Long Kezhi, bowed and trotted to the side of the man with the green beard, his face full of ingratiating and fawning smiles.

"Captain, thank you for your hard work. We were able to escape this time entirely thanks to your excellent command."

It was clearly First Mate Long Kezhi who was in charge, yet he shamelessly blurted it out.

The man with the green beard glanced at him indifferently:

"It's no use saying all this, just do your job well."

He completely ignored his subordinates' flattery, casually tossed aside the half-finished whiskey, leaned against the wall of the captain's cabin, and closed his eyes slightly.

"Dream divination?"

Xia Fa noticed something amiss, but he also sensed that something was wrong.

His spiritual intuition kept capturing the fluctuations in the surrounding space, but in fact, the space where the ship was imprisoned showed no sign of being freed.

Suddenly, the man with the green beard opened his eyes and immediately reached for the golden flintlock pistol at his waist.

But at that moment, his movements froze.

The demigod-level pirate became motionless, like a puppet.

Not only him, but the other pirates, including the first mate named Longkezhi, were also completely unable to move, as if they were frozen.

Xia Fa was startled, not yet understanding what was happening, but he immediately realized... he couldn't move either!

Immediately following, an elegant and composed voice, tinged with a hint of arrogance, rang out from the ship and clearly reached everyone's ears.

"As everyone knows, this pirate ship, built by the Roaring Emperor himself, is capable of Protoss travel when the extraordinary beings on board work together."

Footsteps sounded, ascending the stairs from the ship's cabin.

Neither the bearded pirate on deck nor the other pirates, nor Xia Fa in the small compartment below deck, could move.

That elegant and proud voice rang out once more, echoing in everyone's ears.

"For this reason, every time the Bluebeard ship performs a Protoss traverse, and at the end of the traverse, it causes a brief disruption of time and space on board because it passes through the Protoss Realm. So..."

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away from Xia Fa, but closer and closer to the deck. Fortunately, Xia Fa's spiritual intuition was still working, and finally, a pair of legs stepped onto the deck.

Those legs were clad in violet striped suit trousers and elegant black pointed leather shoes.

But unlike ordinary leather shoes, the toe of these shoes is covered with pieces of gold that look like scales!

Xia Fa was suddenly startled. If he could move now, he didn't know how he would react.

Just because of these legs...

The owner of these legs...

It was the young and mysterious ruler behind Pompeii!

He was also the culprit who stumbled into the desert mini-world of the Fog Carnival and almost sucked him in with those enormous nostrils that stretched across the sky!

"He actually signed a condition for eternity; is He also an extraordinary monarch?"

The shock and doubt in Xia Fa's heart were like a raging storm, threatening to overwhelm his mind.

At the same time, the instant he saw those legs and the black leather shoes covered with golden scales through his spiritual intuition, a large amount of strange current surged from his spine and covered his cerebral cortex.

A burning sensation surged up in my heart meridian, threatening to fill my entire body in an instant.

But Xia Fa still couldn't move, as if... time on this ship had been frozen!

"What exactly happened? Is this the secret bond ability of eternal conditions?"

Xia Fa was shocked and suspicious. If that was the case, then the Eternal Conditions, this overlord-level secret contract, was too heaven-defying.

The young and mysterious ruler's elegant and arrogant voice rang out once more, still echoing on the deck and in Xia Fa's ears.

"First, seize that slight fluctuation in the flow of time."

He took a few more steps up. This time, Xia Fa saw clearly with his spiritual intuition that He was wearing a violet striped suit, but on his face was a dark red ghost mask with fangs, clearly ferocious and majestic, yet still elegant.

"Then, we separate out the part of time that slows down from this slight fluctuation in the flow of time."

As he spoke, he drew a large-caliber revolver from his waist and, with a flick of his wrist, made the cylinder of the revolver spin rapidly.

"Ultimately, by magnifying, magnifying, and magnifying this time-slowed-down portion, it forms..."
