My queen is rebelling!

The intense dizziness, coupled with the sensation of spatial forces tearing at his body, made Cohen realize he had entered a spatial-temporal transfer.

Could it be that the so-called Pirate King's legacy—the Psionic Core—was stored in another space?

Before Cohen could ponder further, he felt some difficulty breathing, opened his eyes, and found his mouth and nose blocked by two soft masses.

Immediately realizing what it was, he instantly pulled away, followed by a shamed and angry scolding:

"You pervert!"

Cohen coughed lightly, looked at Claire, whose eyes were filled with cold light not far away, and said calmly:

"I didn't do it on purpose either, calm down, let's see how to get out first."

Claire glared at Cohen fiercely, suppressed her anger, and began to observe the environment they were in.

It wasn't until she looked that both of them felt their scalps tingle.

Only then did they realize that the place they were in was no longer some underwater altar, or even in the Endless Sea, but a huge circular arena.

Even more terrifying was that the ground of this arena was not made of normal stone or metal, but of countless overlapping skeletons.

There were humans, dragons, sea creatures, and some other races they couldn't name.

What was even stranger was that each skeleton was a pair, appearing in pairs.

The skeletons glowed with a faint blue light and soaring resentment, which was chilling.

The bone seams were also filled with corroded swords and gold coins, which seemed to have been there for countless years.

At this moment, the two were staring at the dome not far away, where two huge statues were suspended.

On the left was a burly man with one eye and a tricorn hat, a scimitar laid horizontally between his ribs, and a sphere of black light flickered at the hilt of the knife.

On the right was a graceful woman wearing scale armor and holding a trident, the iconic fishtail showing the other party's identity—a mermaid.

Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the man on the left dressed in the classic pirate captain's attire, and the scimitar in his hand, and murmured in a low voice:

"The Ancient Pirate King, Leonard Augustus.

The sphere at the hilt of the knife should be the Psionic Core!"

Claire covered her chest, feeling the blood in her body boiling, her beautiful eyes staring at the graceful woman on the right, focusing on the trident in her hand, her tone carrying a hint of excitement:

"The Sea King, Octavian!

The one in her hand should be the real Sea God Trident!"

"Where is this place, why is there the Sea King's inherited artifact, the Sea God Trident?"

While Cohen secretly investigated the surrounding situation, he replied:

"I don't know, I told you before, this is also my first time here.

The method to unlock the seal is what I saw in the ancient books, as for what will happen after unlocking the seal, I also know nothing."

Claire opened her red lips slightly:

"If I guessed correctly, this should be the inheritance place of the Ancient Pirate King and the Sea King.

You should also be able to feel it, the trident in the hand of the Sea King statue above is real.

Similarly, I believe that the black ball in the Pirate King's hand must also be a treasure no less valuable than the Sea God Trident, you spent so much effort to help the Sharkmen unlock the seal for that, right."

Cohen praised Claire's wit in his heart, and asked calmly:

"What does Clan Leader Claire want to say?"

Claire said in a deep voice:

"Each takes what he needs.

After going out, make an oath not to reveal each other's secrets."

Cohen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a chuckle:

"I thought you were going to rely on your cultivation to kill people and silence them.

The Sea God Trident is a genuine semi-artifact, are you so relieved to let me know your secret?"

Claire sneered:

"This is the Sea Clan's exclusive weapon, you humans can't use it either.

As for killing people to silence them…"

Claire stopped talking.

If the other party was not a human, she might have already made a move.

The moment she saw the trident, a prophecy that changed the trajectory of her fate appeared in her mind—

The reincarnated self will form a bond with a human, and this human will bring her the opportunity to unify the sea clan.

Claire believed that the human in this prophecy was likely this mysterious leader.

It was under Cohen's leadership that she had the opportunity to obtain the Sea Clan's exclusive artifact.

Isn't this the opportunity to unify the sea clan that the prophecy said?

Claire speculated that the so-called bond in the first half of the prophecy might mean that she had to cooperate with him to obtain the Sea God Trident.

Therefore, Claire decided to temporarily put aside her killing intent and cooperate with him.

Claire stared at Cohen, and continued what she had just said:

"Kill people to silence them?

This queen disdains to use such means against a human little guy."

Claire's thoughts surprised Cohen, this young lady didn't seem to be such a simple and upright person.

If he were in her place, Cohen would have unhesitatingly silenced a foreign race.

Cohen was not aware of the prophecy on Claire, so naturally he had no way of knowing the other party's complex psychological activities.

Faced with the other party's initiative to show goodwill, Cohen did not relax in his heart, but looked around at the pairs of skeletons, sighed, and said:

"If possible, I don't want to fight a mermaid beauty either, but… perhaps things won't develop as we imagine."

Claire's face turned cold and asked:

"What do you mean?"

Cohen looked up at the two statues suspended above the dome and said lightly:

"For so many years, we two shouldn't be the first batch to arrive here.

So many pairs of skeletons under our feet are people who wanted to obtain treasures but ultimately failed.

Haven't you noticed that they all died fighting each other?"

After Cohen reminded her, Claire immediately noticed this fact, and her heart tightened for no reason.

Cohen's voice continued to sound:

"For so many years, it's impossible for every batch of people to be mortal enemies, and I think that those who can enter here together are likely to be partners or even relatives.

But in the end, they still fought each other to death, don't you think there's something strange about it?"

Claire's face gradually darkened, obviously she also understood, which was not good news for her.

Could it be that the so-called bond in the prophecy is to kill this human?

Claire slowly opened her mouth:

"You reminding me of this, is it hoping that I will give you a quick death when I kill you later?"

Cohen's mouth curled slightly and said:

"Do you think that with the aftermath of a Transcendent's battle, the skeletons under your feet can still be preserved so intact?"

Claire's face changed drastically, and she quickly checked her body.

Only then did she realize that she couldn't mobilize a trace of magic power.

Her Legendary cultivation was completely sealed!

A trace of panic surged in Claire's heart, what kind of place is this, why can it silently seal a Legendary cultivation?

Cohen didn't look at Claire again, but looked around and raised his voice, as if talking to someone:

"If I guessed correctly, this should be the Ancient Pirate King Leonard Augustus's divine kingdom projection, the legend that can seal the cultivation of all Transcendent—the Ghost Arena!"

The meaning revealed in Cohen's words made Claire couldn't help but be shocked, divine kingdom projection?

The arena they were in was actually a projection of a god's divine kingdom?

Also, didn't the Ancient Pirate King die, or even become a god?

However, Cohen's next words made Claire's face turn pale—

"Since you dragged us here, shouldn't you tell us the specific game rules?

Your Excellency, the Ancient Pirate King Leonard Augustus!"

As soon as the voice fell, Cohen's eyes showed sharpness, staring straight at the statue above the dome.

Claire also immediately became vigilant and couldn't help but move a few steps closer to Cohen's direction.

She never expected that there would be outsiders here!

Even a god!

Claire suddenly felt her scalp tingle, and like Cohen, looked at the statue in the air.

I saw that the pupils of the Pirate King statue, which were originally lifeless, suddenly glowed with a deep sea pearl-like blue cold light, and a surrender and deterrence rising from the depths of the soul surged into the hearts of the two.

Immediately afterwards, a hoarse voice came from all directions:

"I remember that in the clues I left on the human continent, there was no mention of the name of my divine kingdom.

Even, no one knows that I have become a god.

Human, how do you know?"

Cohen naturally didn't go to find those clues, he unlocked the seal according to the experience of the previous game forum.

The guidance left by the Pirate King was aimed at the natives of the Demon Tide Continent, and their players could naturally find a simpler and more effective way to unlock the seal.

It's just that Cohen didn't know that he would be teleported to another place after unlocking the seal.

Fortunately, he also had a certain understanding of the life of the Ancient Pirate King, so he understood the situation he was in not long after entering this arena.

This is a projection of the Ancient Pirate King's divine kingdom, a trial place used to select inheritors.

It's just that he didn't come in according to the normal process.

The corpses under his feet should be those who found the clues and guidance left by the Ancient Pirate King in various parts of the continent and entered here.

Cohen quickly realized that the entrance to the Ghost Arena was not just the Sharkmen, the Ancient Pirate King must have left entrances all over the world.

Cohen observed the other party with interest, did not answer his question, but asked instead:

"Is this a soul clone you left behind before, or a projection of the main body at this moment?

Can you receive the thoughts and will of the main body, do you know what is happening in the God Realm now?"

The light in Leonard's pupils clearly revealed a look of astonishment, this human little guy was too weird.

Knowing his identity, he dared to question himself.

And he also behaved as if he was very familiar with the gods.

This is not the same as those people in the past.

Those people in the past were all worshiping him like gods after seeing him appear, they didn't even dare to look directly, this kid, is really too bold.

Not far away, Claire also admired Cohen, how could this mysterious leader be more arrogant than herself, he was facing a genuine god!

Leonard stared at Cohen for a long time, and finally smelled a trace of unusual aura from Cohen.

He couldn't help but say:

"There seems to be ice element and… on you"

Cohen immediately interrupted the other party's words loudly and said:

"Your Excellency Leonard, shouldn't you announce the game rules?

You don't want the inheritance you left behind to be unclaimed forever, do you?"

Claire watched Cohen with admiration. What a formidable person, actually daring to interrupt a deity.

Involuntarily, Claire became even more curious about Cohen's identity. Leonard clearly wanted to reveal information about Cohen's background, but the latter directly cut him off.

Could it be that even the gods are wary of his identity?

A thoughtful expression appeared between Claire's brows. It seemed that he really was the human in the prophecy who could help her unify the Sea Clan!

Leonard's pupils flickered with a cold light as he asked:

"What is her relationship with you, and with 'that one'?"

Cohen felt no shame in being a kept man, and proudly replied:

"She is my wife, and we have a very close relationship.

As for her relationship with 'that one', you can have your main body inquire with a certain god and see if they are willing to tell you."

Leonard was visibly stunned by Cohen's words.

That goddess… she was even more formidable than a chief god. As a deity with only weak divine power, he decided it was best not to get involved in such matters.

Leonard shook his head, feeling that he could no longer continue to associate with this kid. He was just a soul imprint left here by his main body, and his duty was to screen suitable successors.

Leonard glanced at Claire not far away, his expression becoming somewhat strange, and asked:

"Are you a descendant of Octavian?"

Claire didn't have Cohen's confidence to act presumptuously in front of a deity. She bowed and replied:

"Yes, I am the Chieftain of the Tide Clan of the Merfolk."

Leonard frowned, revealing obvious displeasure, and then asked:

"Why would the Chieftain of the Merfolk choose a human as a partner?

Moreover, don't you know that he already has a wife? Why would you still be with him?"

Upon hearing this, a look of bewilderment immediately appeared in Claire's eyes, and Cohen also scratched his head.

What was this god talking about? What lover, what partner? She had only known Cohen for less than a day.

If the other party wasn't a deity, Claire would have been furious if an outsider dared to slander her like that.

Claire suppressed her displeasure and replied:

"I have no relationship with him. Today is the first time we've met."

Leonard was even more astonished and turned to look at Cohen:

"Didn't you find this place through the mark I left on the continent?"

Cohen narrowed his eyes slightly. How did the other party see through that?

Could it be that the mark left by Leonard could only be activated by a couple?

If that was the case, then everyone who entered here would be in a married relationship, so why would they turn against each other?

Could it be that the so-called trial was to test the relationship between the two parties?

Cohen suppressed the thoughts in his mind and raised his head to ask:

"Does it make a difference? Anyway, I've already made it here. A dignified god wouldn't go back on his word, would he?"

Leonard fell into thought. In order to screen suitable successors, he had specifically stated in the mark he left behind that one must enter the trial grounds with a member of the opposite sex to jointly receive the inheritance.

This was a great opportunity, and logically speaking, whoever obtained the mark would definitely find someone of the opposite sex who was very close to them.

Either a direct relative or a spouse.

However, direct relatives might have unequal cultivation levels, or one party might not be a transcendent.

In fact, over the years, more than 99% of those who entered here were couples or partners.

Moreover, there was no way that a Merfolk and a human could be relatives, so the only possibility was that they were a couple.

Therefore, Leonard realized that the other party had not entered here through the inheritance mark he left on the continent when he learned that there was no relationship between Cohen and Claire.

This was a bit tricky.

The condition was originally set in order to achieve the effect of the trial, but now the other party was unrelated strangers, so how should the trial be conducted?

Unfortunately, the main body seemed to have not descended its will for a long time, otherwise he could contact it and ask.

Leonard was silent for a long time, deciding to proceed according to the normal rules first and see what they chose.

The light on the statue disappeared, and everything returned to silence.

Cohen thought to himself that he wouldn't be denied the trial just because he didn't enter normally, would he?

Just as he was about to ask, the entire arena suddenly began to vibrate with a strange rhythm.

Immediately afterwards, vast power spread from the entire arena, and the two clearly felt that this level of power was definitely not something that humans could possess.

This was genuine divine power!

As the divine power spread, the arena began to deconstruct and reorganize, and soon transformed into a huge cage, trapping the two together.

Then, the two discovered that the cage was slowly shrinking at a constant speed.

Based on the time calculation, the two would be crushed into powder by the constantly shrinking cage in no more than an hour.

The two rushed to opposite sides at the same time, only to find that, even with their cultivation sealed, they could not shake the cage in the slightest, even in their prime.

In tension and panic, Leonard's voice sounded again:

"Welcome to the Betrayer's Cage!

Only the soul of the faithful can open the cage.

You have one hour.

The survivor will receive my entire inheritance and that of the Sea King!

My inheritance is the ghost energy core to build a 'Ghost Ship'!

The Sea King's inheritance is a semi-divine artifact - the Trident of the Sea God!

May both of you fare well!"

As soon as the voice fell, everything returned to silence, only the slowly shrinking cage, like the whisper of the Grim Reaper.

The two looked up at each other at the same time, both wearing masks, unable to see their faces clearly, but they both saw deep solemnity in each other's eyes.

Claire looked up at Cohen's eyes, her heart full of vigilance, and said in a deep voice:

"Do you have any ideas?"

Cohen was thinking about Leonard's words, and chuckled when he heard Claire's voice:

"Not yet. Does Chieftain Claire have any?"

Claire shook her head:

"You should have already heard what Leonard said earlier. Normally, those who enter the trial grounds are a pair of closely related men and women.

The so-called soul of the faithful should refer to one party willing to sacrifice their soul for the other to unlock the cage."

Claire paused here, looked disdainfully at the bones under her feet, and curled her red lips into a contemptuous sneer, saying:

"Obviously, none of the bones under our feet are willing to sacrifice their souls for the other.

They didn't even wait to be crushed into powder before they started fighting among themselves, trying to force the other party to sacrifice their soul.

That's where they were both bad and stupid.

If one party chooses to betray, how can the other party adhere to loyalty? Even if the other party is killed, the so-called soul of the faithful will naturally not exist.

They still cannot open the cage!"

Cohen clapped lightly and said:

"Chieftain Claire analyzes very well, so do you have any way to solve this dilemma?"

Claire suddenly asked:

"Just now, Sea King said that you have a wife, and it seems that she has a great background?"

A playful smile flashed in Cohen's eyes as he said:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Claire continued to ask:

"If your wife were here, would you sacrifice your soul?"

Cohen's tone was exceptionally firm:

"Of course, I would not hesitate."

Claire nodded and said:

"That is to say, you are also a faithful person?"

Cohen couldn't hide the smile on his face, but unfortunately, it was completely invisible to the other party because of the mask.

He replied:

"Yes, I consider myself a faithful person!"

Claire slowly closed her eyes and said softly:

"There is no relationship between us, so even if I attack you, it will not affect the relationship between you and your wife.

You are still a faithful person, so your soul can open the cage, right!"

Cohen laughed loudly and said:

"How clever! So, Chieftain Claire, you're not going to attack me, are you!"

Claire suddenly opened her eyes, her tone becoming extremely serious:

"For the future of the Merfolk, I have already given up my life once, and I cannot give up this hard-won opportunity!

I'm sorry, but I must obtain your soul!"

Cohen chuckled:

"If it were a different setting, your last sentence could be considered a good love confession."

Claire was surprisingly generous to Cohen's teasing.

Facing a person who was about to die, Claire didn't have such an overbearing young lady's temper at the moment. She would just let him enjoy his verbal indulgence.

Claire asked seriously:

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

A dagger appeared in Cohen's hand, and he smiled faintly:

"Are you so sure that you can kill me?

Don't forget, you are not the high and mighty Legendary rank now!"

Claire's voice carried strong confidence, saying:

"Even without magic, I am no match for you in terms of combat skills and physical strength."

Cohen chuckled, waving the dagger, and asked in the same way:

"Since you took the initiative to attack me, then I have no psychological burden!

Since I am a pirate now, I naturally have to do something that fits the identity of a pirate.

Conquering a proud and domineering young lady must be a special experience!

Oh, I forgot to ask, Chieftain Claire, I wonder if you are considered a faithful person!"

As soon as the voice fell, Cohen instantly disappeared from the spot.

Such speed!

Claire's pupils shrank slightly. The other party's physical fitness was definitely not that of an ordinary Silver rank!

No wonder he had the confidence to attack her first!

Claire sneered, three ice cones floated from her fingertips, and she stepped lightly on the ground,迎 朝着 已经 奔 袭 过 来 的 柯恩迎 了 上 去.

In the rush, three ice cones brushed past Cohen's ears and heavily nailed into the bones under his feet.

Hidden weapon?

I didn't expect the other party to have this trick.

Cohen decided not to drag out the time any longer. Who knew what kind of nonsense would happen later, so he would subdue this woman first!

A cold light flashed in his eyes -

Rune: Blade Waltz!

His cultivation was sealed, but Cohen still had so many enhancement runes to use.

Even without relying on magic to drive them, ten Claires tied together would not be his opponent!

Facing another round of ice cones that burst out, Cohen directly turned into a phantom and stabbed frantically at Claire!
