I'm not just human!

He looked at the small compartment, where the wine barrels and wooden walls had been completely shattered by the starlight.

He shook his head slightly and sighed.

"Since you signed such a top-tier secret pact as the Gate of Stars, you could have just told me. Why did you have to run away..."

He still lacks subordinates, especially trusted confidants.

Unfortunately, I didn't get a clear look at the face of this future extraordinary monarch.

"What's wrong with this world? First, a signatory to the Silver Throne appeared, and now a signatory to the Gate of Stars has emerged—two future transcendent monarchs..."

"roar!!!!!!!!!"

A roar of extreme madness and fury suddenly came from the farthest distance, carrying an unparalleled, overwhelming force.

Its aura was like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami crashing down, as if it were about to overwhelm the heavens and earth, even causing the extraordinary monarch wearing a mask with a ghostly face and fangs to change his expression.

"The Roaring Emperor, arrived so quickly? It seems my condition of eternity didn't hold Him for long..."

He shook his head slightly, and with just one step, he vanished into the Celestial Spirit Realm.

Almost immediately after He left, two extremely powerful auras erupted from the direction of the city of Augustus.

High in the sky, a pair of cold, solemn eyes, like those of a soldier, slowly opened and gazed at the sea area where Rum City and Extraordinary Market were located.

Their gazes were fixed on the thousand-meter-long pirate ship, the Green Beard.

"Humph."

The roar stopped abruptly, followed by a cold snort, seemingly as a show of defiance.

But immediately, the thousand-meter-long pirate ship vanished, as if it had been taken away by the owner of the roar.

From the direction of Augustus, an extremely powerful aura slowly receded.

The soldier's cold and solemn eyes in the air stared at the spot where the starlight had dissipated for a long time before slowly fading and disappearing.

……

Wow!

Waves crashed against the shore, and suddenly a hand emerged from the waves, its five fingers pressing against the sand, the knuckles digging into the fine sand.

The muscles in that arm suddenly bulged, and it pulled backward with force.

The next moment, Xia Fa's figure burst out of the waves, darting forward several meters before finally coming to a steady stop.

His linen shirt was completely soaked by the seawater, clinging to his body and revealing the outline of his muscles. His powerful physique looked like an ancient Greek sculpture, graceful and full of strength.

Xia Fa wiped his wet hair back, and steam rose from his body. In just a moment, his clothes and hair were completely dry.

This is the large island where the Extraordinary Market is located, but now, not even a single thug can be seen on the island.

Clearly, the thugs were far more alert and knowledgeable than ordinary people. The moment they saw the Greenbeard's ship emerge from the Protoss Realm, the thugs had already fled to the bustling Extraordinary Market or the other side of this great island.

Xia Fa turned his head and saw several corpses washed ashore.

Some were shot in the head or chest, their clothes first stained red with blood, then washed pale pink by the seawater; others were blasted away by artillery shells, losing half their bodies.

When he sailed to the extraordinary market, there were certainly many other small boats on the calm, sunny sea.

During the Fog Carnival, at any given moment, at least dozens or even hundreds of small boats carrying tourists from various inhabited planets head to the Extraordinary Market.

The moment the Green Beard appeared, it not only attacked the small boat where Xia Fa was, but also attacked other small boats on the sea.

Fortunately, both the gunfire and the shelling were carried out using only mortal methods, without the use of secret powers, which resulted in relatively small losses, although about ten crew members still died.

Xia Fa glanced silently at the corpses on the shore, shook his head. There was nothing he could do about it. Fortunately, these crew members were hired by wealthy merchants in the Extraordinary Market, and someone was there to handle the aftermath and distribute compensation.

"Is Greenbeard crazy? Or is that extraordinary monarch wearing the ghost mask going to use similar methods to approach that ship?"

Xia Fa simply couldn't understand why Qing Hu Zi was launching an indiscriminate attack on the surrounding small boats when he was just trying to escape.

Therefore, this is the only guess we can make.

Just now, at the very moment that extraordinary monarch wearing a mask with fangs and a ghostly face fired the Soul-Destroying Bullets at everyone on the ship, he finally found a chance to escape.

When faced with the whistling, soul-destroying bullets, a burning sensation surged through his body as if in response, even more intense than when he had faced His nostrils that stretched across the sky last time.

Xia Fa used this to activate the secret connection ability of the Starshine Body within the Gate of Stars, unleashing "Starshine" and successfully escaping.

Although he escaped, the feud was now firmly established.

Last time, this extraordinary monarch wearing a mask with a ghostly face and fangs appeared in the land of the gods in the desert in order to kidnap Princess Victoria, but almost sucked himself and Daponz into his terrifying and disgusting abyss-like nostrils.

This time, He was chasing after Greenbeard in order to take those three transparent crystal lights. After achieving his goal, He wanted to kill everyone on the ship. However, with a casual shot, He almost killed himself.

Even though He didn't target me either time, both times He almost crushed me like an ant.

This ignited a nameless rage within Xia Fa.

"Damn it, who do they think they are..."

Xia Fa's gaze turned icy cold, and he deeply etched the image of this mad and indifferent extraordinary monarch into his mind.

Once I sign the Mysterious Singularity, I can challenge Him, and perhaps then I can ruin His plans at a crucial moment.

And once I've signed the Mysterious Singularity, if I can sign another Overlord-level secret contract... then I can kill this extraordinary monarch among the rulers with an Elephant-level rank!

Xia Fa has absolute confidence in this!

"It won't be long, just wait..."

Taking a few deep breaths to calm his anger, Xia Fa calmed down slightly.

He understood that it was all because he was too weak.

Although with his eagle-level rank, he could easily kill demigods and even finish off severely wounded angels, he was still not qualified for this extraordinary world full of madness and danger.

We must become stronger, stronger, and keep becoming stronger!

Fortunately, I worked very hard, and with a little bit of luck, I was able to sign one hegemonic secret contract after another.

To take revenge, you don't need to become a ruler; an elephant-level being is enough!

"I only signed two hegemonic-level secret agreements, and Dick Tudor was already so flustered. What if I signed a third, fourth, or fifth one..."

Xia Fa suddenly thought for a moment, composed himself, and headed towards the secret trading shop.

Of course, before going there, he made sure to go to the black brick and black wall house and, as usual, change his appearance by putting on a wooden clown mask.

……

"Come on, have a drink first, to calm your nerves."

In the bedroom of the fat boss at the secret trading shop.

The portly boss held the glasses with both hands and handed them to Xia Fa. The glasses contained a small sip of very strong vodka.

Xia Fa didn't stand on ceremony with him, after all, they were all in the same organization, and the fat boss was, in a way, his mentor.

However, in the fat boss's eyes, he seemed to be just an agent of the future extraordinary monarch who had signed the Silver Throne.

He tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp. It felt like molten lava flowing down his throat and into his mouth, with a stinging sensation, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Instead, it was quite stimulating and gave him a mental boost.

"This isn't ordinary vodka, is it?"

"Of course, this is polo vodka made from polo fruit, and it also has a kenzie fruit added. You know kenzie fruit, right? It's worth five thousand gold pounds on the market!"

The fat boss's words hit the nail on the head regarding Xia Fa's knowledge.

I still remember the first time I accidentally fell into the hole and met the doll girl Benedict.

This silly doll girl dug out a pea fruit from the damp soil of the cave, and was eventually sold by Xiafa to Chestnut for fifty gold pounds.

As for the Kengo, it was left behind by that unknown being resembling a heavy armored cavalryman during the second adventure to the cave, along with the Protoss Compass.

Even now, Xia Fa doesn't understand why that unknown being, resembling a heavily armored cavalryman, would deliberately leave two Kens Fruits and the Star Spirit Compass at the cave entrance.

Is there anything else?

"Yes, yes, brother, drink as much as you want, it's all you can eat, hahaha!"

The fat boss laughed loudly. He had almost finished the bottle of Xia Fa before it arrived, so he turned around, went to the wine cabinet, took out another bottle, and poured Xia Fa a glass.

Xia Fa drank it down in one gulp and felt the coldness in his body completely dissipate, even though he didn't have any coldness in his body to begin with.

The portly shopkeeper was about to pour Xia Fa another glass, but Xia Fa stopped him this time.

"No, no, I can't drink anymore, I'll get drunk if I drink any more."

The fat boss laughed:

"Brother, you're joking. But this wine is indeed strong. Unless you reach the level of a demigod, it's easy to get drunk."

He had barely finished speaking when his tone shifted, becoming somewhat hostile:

"Did Greenbeard escape? If you need anything, brother, you can have your backer post a mission in our Carnival of Destiny. There are plenty of people to kill him—"

Xia Fa shook his head:

No, he's dead.

The fat boss was suddenly startled:

"died?"

The fat boss, who was on the island, naturally knew that the Green Beard had suddenly emerged from the Protoss Realm and appeared not far from the Extraordinary Market.

He remained seated in the shop without showing his face, but when Xia Fa arrived, he noticed that Xia Fa had been affected, so he quickly invited Xia Fa into the bedroom and poured him a glass of strong liquor to ward off the cold.

At this moment, the fat boss placed both of his short, fat hands on the tea table. Shocked, he leaned forward slightly and asked, as if confirming:

"Really dead? How did he die?"

Xia Fa thought for a moment and made up a plausible reason:

"The small boat I was on was capsized by the giant cannon on the Green Beard. I swam to a relatively far place and then faintly heard gunshots, but I couldn't see the situation on the ship clearly. Later, after I got ashore, I heard other people discussing it, and that's when I realized that Green Beard was dead and that many people on the island had seen it from a high place."

The fat boss's gaze turned serious:

"Then I really should go out and take a look... But it's not a big deal, since I got the news from you, brother."

After saying that, he suddenly sighed:

"This is a very serious matter."

Xia Fa asked curiously:
