Pirate Kingship

Byron was marching forward at the other end, killing everyone, preparing to make a fortune by collecting the [Soul Gems] that met the needs of spiritual transformation on the way to the Kingdom of God.

The Desert Gods and their allies, who had suffered a huge loss, did not bother to lick their wounds and rushed into the Rust Belt after a coalition of wizards executing the "Hunting God Plan".

Although most of the old gods that the Familia believed in fell into eternal sleep and lost their minds, the Familia had already become their minions after being contaminated by the old gods.

In the minds of the dependents, the interests of the gods are far above their own interests.

"Kill all human wizards and protect my lord!"

Of course, the reinforcements and activated knowledge sent by the major old god churches of the former desert pantheon and the [Thousand-Faced Snake] also acted separately.

The rules of the "Rust Belt" don't matter whether you are a human or a family member. If you get together and act together, you may be worn down by the knowledge of being hunted down layer by layer before you even find the Kingdom of Horus.

The same goes for temporarily joining the "human rape" team under [Jackal God].

Bang!

"Human Rape" transformed into the Titans and waved the two snake staffs in his hands, beating "Hamlet" and "King Lear" who were running towards him with swords into dazzling flakes all over the sky.

Hamlet roared: "To be or not to be, that is the question." When it finally dissipated, a [Soul Gem] was left behind.

But the expression on the rapist's face was far less happy than Byron's, and could even be said to be very unsightly.

Mercurius has countless vests, and with the convenience of the first [writer] in the palace sequence, he has achieved extremely high achievements in the literary history of the Silver Continent.

After he entered the Rust Belt, he was naturally attracted to a series of tragedies he created such as "Hamlet", "Othello", "King Lear", "Macbeth", etc.

The protagonists in these stories use the special rules of the Rust Belt to break the fourth wall and truly stand in front of the author.

Armed with swords, spears, swords and halberds, they continued to kill Mercurius.

If he hadn't been strong enough, these tragic protagonists would have been pressing his head on his head and helping him change the script word by word.

It was obvious that they all failed.

Before dying, the protagonist of every tragedy would grab Mercurius's leg and write seven "miserable" words on it with his own blood.

A group of protagonists were given such a tragic fate by the author, so it was only natural that they should behave like this.

To be honest, no matter who it was, they would have to fight out and kill the fucker even if they risked their lives.

I just don’t know if Mercurius ever regretted it, having written so many tragedies in the past.

His son, the satyr Pan, who was following him, had not encountered any knowledge against him for the time being, but while watching the battle, he sighed:

"What a bad luck. I originally thought that uniting with the Desert Gods to besiege the Desert Empire would be easy, but I didn't expect that the [Nine Pillars of Creation] suddenly started a qualitative change.

All the mid- and low-sequence extraordinary beings from the desert god system who participated in the operation were completely killed. Even the fifth-order high-sequence pseudo-gods were eaten several times in one go, resulting in heavy losses.

Fortunately, this is a joint operation of the entire desert pantheon, targeting the Nine Pillars of Creation School, the archenemy of the desert pantheon, the [Jackal God], [Falcon-Headed God], [Lion-Headed Goddess], and [The Great Master Creator]. All dependents participated.

Even though we still suffered heavy losses when we shared them, it didn't break our muscles and bones. This gave us the energy to follow them into the Rust Belt.

Otherwise, our plan of letting the family members and wizards explore the way, and finally reaping the benefits, would be completely dead. "

Salome, the [Elf of Love] who was in the same team, her eyes flashed slightly, and she consoled her calmly:

"Be content. The Nine Pillars of Creation are not very powerful against us outsiders. We are lucky to have escaped from the Desert Empire.

With the help of Mr. [Lake Knight], as long as you seize the opportunity this time, you may not be able to pick the peach. "

There is also a fourth member of this team, and it is [Knight of the Lake Light] Lancelot who "is strict with others and generous with others".

He followed the group with an expressionless expression.

That day, he unintentionally uncovered the adultery between God Pan and his own queen, and after hearing the news that Mercurius and his son were plotting to become a demigod [priest], he quietly slipped out of the palace and replenished his strength by holding a blood sacrifice.

Then he accepted Pan's invitation to explore together as if nothing had happened.

But at this moment, he looked at the backs of the father and son, feeling secretly angry in his heart, and it was obvious that he had no good thoughts brewing.

In fact, the reason Pan Shen was lurking in the Huguang Kingdom was because, like Byron, he had the idea of ​​going public through a backdoor scheme, taking Lancelot's blame at the critical moment.

He hasn't realized that his secret has been discovered, so of course he won't let go of this useful strong man.

"It's a pity that if he dies, the queen will change from a wife to a widow. I always feel that it's almost meaningless."

Pan Shen felt a little regretful. He still felt that the former identity was more exciting.

Byron stood on the outside and saw all this clearly.

Mercurius and his son wanted to let the family members and wizards fight in a melee, pull chestnuts from the fire for him, and become fat in one fell swoop.

Lancelot had already seen through their true colors and was ready to give them a hard blow at any time.

And Byron himself, who was looking at this place through the eyes of Salome, the Elf of Love, was silently staring at everyone.

Byron's main purpose in coming to the Corridor of Truth is to regain the "Gospel of the Kingdom", save the Mermaid Kingdom, find his father-in-law, and regain the "Pirate Code" and Skeleton No. 9 [Death].

Now the Gospel of Heaven and Skull No. 9 have returned to his hands.

Because of the sudden accident, "Renjian" has not had time to send the copy that Byron replaced to the Jackal God, and the two old gods who have regained their sanity have not had time to implement the plan.

The same is true for the rest. The next big enough fate stirring may bring things that are strongly related to him, such as the Pirate Code, to him.

Even if there is nothing, it will not be too late to find it at that time, so Byron is not in a hurry at all. He will rely on these pathfinders to get the benefits in the kingdom of God before talking about other things.

"Die——!"

Renjian killed "Oedipus King", one of the three major tragedies of the ancient Silver Empire, with a stick, and finally survived this round of tragedy.

He took out a bone amulet from his pocket and took a look, and ordered the others around him:

"The desert gods are not in a hurry, let's go to the kingdom of Goddess Venus to do our own things first."

The main purpose of Mercury's coming to the East Continent is to remove the constraints of the divine aspect.

Using Salome's [Dance of the Seven Veils] to help him peel off the divine side in his body, and then with the help of the demigod's corpse, he perfectly injected the divinity of a demigod into him.

Not only can he solve his own troubles, but he may also be able to go a step further and directly achieve the prerequisite for being promoted to a demigod.

"No problem."

"The two kingdoms of God are not far apart."

Salome and Lancelot had no objection.

Like the wizards of various schools, they each had a disposable beacon amulet.

Although the Sea of ​​​​Source is the home of the clan, not all the clans of the desert gods know where their god king's eternal resting place is.

Although the world rift may also connect to an old god, it will eventually form a unique secret realm.

But the other side of the rift is essentially just the unconscious power projection of the old god's corpse, which is similar to the projection of Lilith on the moon, and it is not the real kingdom of God where the other party is sleeping.

The powerful old gods can project a lot of polluting knowledge and power into the material world at once through the world rift.

Mortals who want to die can jump directly over and be polluted immediately.

But wanting to take a shortcut through the world cracks and reach the kingdom of God without going through the test of the "Rust Belt" at the border is like fishing for the moon in the water.

Therefore, except for individual cases like [Cursed Spirit·High Priest], only the old gods, that is, the pope of the old god church, can lock the position of the main god in the source sea.

However, the amulet in the hands of Renjian and his party not only points to the God King Horus, but also a second one.

Some time ago, when Pan was exploring the Rust Belt, he accidentally ran into the kingdom of God of [Venus Goddess] Ishtar and left his beacon there.

It can guarantee a stable anchor in a short time and can be found again within a year.

But when they took out the second amulet to determine the direction, they were shocked to find that the directions of the two kingdoms of God, which were not far apart due to the aggregation effect, gradually tended to be in a straight line.

"What's going on? How did the kingdom of God of [Venus Goddess] Ishtar overlap with the kingdom of God of [Sky God] Horus?"

"Renjian" just muttered to himself strangely.

Bang!

The sound of the anchor chain tightening rang out.

The amulets on everyone suddenly lit up, and a certain super-standard power, through the connection of the beacon, forced the next secret realm they encountered to be locked into the merged kingdom of God.

The four people in a row suddenly disappeared on the spot.

The Rust Belt, another place where the distance and direction could not be measured.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several streams of light flew past the ground, some riding horses, some riding donkeys, and some riding brooms. They were Byron and his party.

[The Little Match Girl] and [Grandma Wolf], two female wizards of high rank, rode brooms, and [Alibaba] rode his donkey.

Byron put away the Golden Deer, and rode on the increasingly powerful eight-legged Pegasus Slipnir with Violet, leading the way. If there were any messy things blocking the way in front, they would be smashed by it.

Among the group, Byron was the strongest. The first secret realm he encountered was the "Three Deep Breaths of Silver Civilization" which was closely related to him and the Lancaster family.

After successfully passing through it, he harvested a total of 17 [Soul Gems] and 32 pounds of [Fairy Dust], which was a great harvest.

The [Fairy Dust] worth millions of gold pounds was secondary. If Byron could digest these 17 Soul Gems, it would be enough to increase the spirituality of the couple by 0.2 to 23.2.

He just referred to the suggestions of several wizards from the Fairy Tale Town School.

In addition to taking out a small amount of samples for auction, the rest was saved to assist the transformation of "Immortal Divinity" to achieve the best effect when the spirituality reached the limit of 25 points.

It is estimated that at least a few hundred pieces are needed, and it will take a long time to collect them slowly.

Byron plans to send one or two avatars to stay here permanently and work as miners.

The second strongest person in the team is Violet, the legendary whale oil mechanic [Queen of Arms].

Thanks to her, the group was able to see what the real "Rust Belt" looks like.

There was no vegetation on the endless red wasteland under their feet, and it was covered with gravel and rusty red soil.

From time to time, they could see jagged human bones, collapsed steel buildings, rusted pipes, huge steel gears as high as mountains buried in the sand dunes, and steam "paddle wheels" that currently only existed in Violet's design drawings.

Through the collapsed building's exterior wall, you can still see many whale oil-powered machines covered with rust. It looks like it should have been a large factory.

But there is no one.

The Fairy Tale Town School following behind them looked curious. Even if they had lived for hundreds of years, they had never seen such an industrial wasteland. They walked and looked around.

Byron and Violet frowned deeply, and felt that the scene in front of them was very dazzling.

"The Rust Belt confuses space and time.

Now it feels like another timeline. After we pushed industrialization to its peak, we still couldn't stop the end of the world.

Or before the arrival of the Luan Dynasty, humans destroyed themselves for some reason.

The whole world has become a post-industrial wasteland."

The knowledge that the couple attracted was inherited from the same source.

After three deep breaths, the Silver Civilization completed its primitive accumulation and reached its peak through whale oil industrialization. Finally, it ushered in the end of the world after dozens or hundreds of years.

Industry declined, cities were abandoned, humans became extinct, and only a wasteland remained after the war.

The devastation was shocking.

Don't forget that the demigod promotion ceremony that Byron prepared for himself was "World Change", which required igniting the fire of change on at least one continent to promote himself to the throne of God.

The larger the scope of influence, the better.

This scene in front of him may be just one possibility of the development of the world in countless timelines, but the impact on him can be imagined.

"Be careful, something is catching up."

The oldest and most experienced [Little Match Girl] always pays attention to the surrounding movements. Just as she opened her mouth to remind others, the roar of the aircraft breaking through the air came from behind them.

The [God's Vision] of all five people was not weak, and they saw hundreds of flying mechanical structures like steam iron birds appearing in the sky behind them.

The white steam spewed out of the fuselage, as if flying in the clouds.

However, there was no one on these aircraft. There were only brass metal balls as big as human heads in the cockpit, which made the "tick-tick" gear turning sound like a ball when the differential engine was running.

When both sides could see each other, a cold mechanical voice came from above:

"If you find humans, destroy them immediately! Destroy them immediately!"

"Execute Operation Plan No. 1 and start dropping bombs."

Woo woo woo.

The belly of the plane opened, and countless whale oil bombs fell from the sky like black raindrops.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The whale oil bombs exploded in a sea of ​​fire, and sharp shrapnel and steel balls covered every inch of space, trying to completely wipe out Byron and his party.

But before that, the five gods who reacted quickly had already taken advantage of the violent airflow, turned into streams of light and flew into the sky, re-opening the distance.

"Is this... an airplane?!"

The various anti-air capabilities of the Dragon King's Court have developed too well, suppressing the development of the air force, but it would be good if the air force was used to deal with the clan.

It is probably because of this that a large air force was born on a certain timeline, and it was a drone controlled by a differential engine and an analyzer.

Seeing them, Byron and Violet were in a state of ups and downs, and they were all very uneasy.

They remembered the destiny of the difference engine and the analytical engine clearly:

"It will replace human jobs to a certain extent, such as painting, singing, literary creation, and even self-evolution as computing power increases.

Humans, please hurry up and improve yourself. If the speed of progress lags behind it too much, bad things may happen."

In the end, the supercomputing center on this timeline not only did not work honestly as expected, but also turned over to become the master.

And when they lost human control, they became what is commonly known as the "Intelligent Crisis!"

It was still a steampunk version born in the era of steam and mechanical computers, which wiped out all humans, making it difficult for them to accept.

When the two lost consciousness, the other three upper wizards had already taken action.

[Alibaba] clasped his hands together and shouted:

"Close sesame!"

Two huge transparent doors slammed shut in front of them, blocking all the machine guns on the flying constructs.

I originally wanted to use the no-fly zone.

However, they found that these constructs were carrying spell-breaking stones, and the pure magic field was useless to them.

They were stunned and couldn't help but admire:

"How amazing! Excluding all supernatural powers, mortals can actually develop to this level with pure human power.

It's really amazing."

At the same time, [Little Match Girl] Tricia launched a counterattack.

She took out a box of matches from her pocket and flicked her fingers.

One by one, the matches exploded in the air, and then quickly expanded into explosive fireballs as big as small houses, almost as powerful as the great magician Xiu'er.

She is essentially a fire mage, and her power [Prayer Matches] can transform her own and other people's wishes into various things through the sparks lit by the matches.

Stove, roast goose, Christmas tree, etc., which are somewhat similar to the navigator's [Mind Mapping].

The most powerful move is "See Grandma". Other people's indifference, selfishness, cruelty, viciousness, and other negative emotions are the most powerful gunpowder.

Although there are many flying constructs and they are very fast, they are still shot down one by one as the meteors fly all over the sky.

While showing her divine power, Tricia sent a message to Byron:

"Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, these constructs are much stronger than sea monsters and barbarians, and are not suitable for collecting fairy dust and soul gems. Let's retreat first."

After being reminded by her, Byron and Violet finally recovered from the shock at the beginning.

They looked at each other with tacit understanding, but not only did they not give up the idea of ​​continuing to develop whale oil machinery, but they strengthened their determination.

Let's not talk about the problem of not throwing away food with the bathwater, and as long as they are there, artificial intelligence will never change.

Violet looked up at the flying constructs that were rushing towards her again and smiled coldly:

"Are they too strong? That depends on who they are facing.

If the old gods are the source of knowledge of the clan and can decide life and death.

Then I am their source of knowledge! They are still a little naive to turn over in my hands."

Byron nodded sincerely in agreement, and he did not take those flying constructs to heart at all during his words, and it was easier than the electromagnetic cannon shooting at the ancestors before:

"To put it bluntly, it is so powerful.

Even if these constructs can escape the palm of the [Son] of the Silver Continent, they will definitely not escape the palm of Violet.

Because there are two holes on the palm of my [Son] brother."

Tricia, Britney, Alibaba:

".What a cold joke."

But Violet's eyes lit up, and the invisible waves instantly covered all the flying constructs above her head.

In an instant, they all fell silent.

Crack! Crack!

Neither the cannon nor the bomb-dropping device was supplying ammunition, and they all turned into flying iron boxes on the spot.

A line of prompts appeared in the consciousness of the onboard intelligent machines:

"If you want to unlock the combat system, please watch a 30-second advertisement first. Click "OK" to start playing."

Even the onboard intelligent machines that have no emotions could not help but be stunned on the spot.

"What is this?"

Then a line of prompts was refreshed one after another:

"If you want to use the brake function, please purchase the member-exclusive package. Members can use it three times for free every day, and additional fees will be charged for the excess."

"If you want to use the detection system, please purchase the acceleration package, otherwise the picture will be delayed for five minutes, or purchase the advanced on-demand service."

"If you want to use the cockpit ejection function, please recharge the annual fee of 998 first."

The prompts were refreshed one after another, leaving the onboard intelligent machines dumbfounded, and the differential machine in their minds almost crashed on the spot.

The construct has completely lost control.

It is obvious that if an intelligent machine with only a straight intestine has similar abilities, it can't play against the coquettish operations of humans at all.

When they met Violet, a legendary mechanic who mastered the [Intelligent Mechanic Protocol] and could transform herself into a digital life, they met their natural nemesis.

It was like a fifth-generation machine fighting a third-generation machine. It was like the modern army had come to World War II. Without real guns and swords, the information war alone turned the opponent's large constructs into scrap metal.

Snap!

Finally, Violet stretched out her little hand and snapped her fingers, and ordered:

"All steam engines brake!"

At the command, the flying constructs in the sky suddenly fell from the sky like heavy stones.

Rumble.

The flames that rose into the sky illuminated the backs of Byron and his party who turned around and left without looking at the explosion.

The strong wind swept a large amount of fairy dust and soul gems to catch up with them and automatically drilled into the "Golden Mist Palace".

However, just as they took out the [Atmospheric Amulet] to reposition the Kingdom of God.

Collapse——!

The beacon anchor chain suddenly stretched straight, and an irresistible force descended upon them, and then they all followed the footsteps of the "traitor".

At this moment, not only the kingdom of God merged, but all the wizards and families holding the beacon amulets, no matter how far or near, were all teleported in an instant.

Fortunately, because the "traitor" held two beacons, the first one disappeared, giving Byron, who was watching both teams at the same time, time to react.

The waves of the Styx under his feet rolled up, and everyone was swept into his own kingdom of God in advance, and then disappeared in the rust belt.
