Pirate Kingship

After being completely contaminated by the [Code of Solomon], the half-bloody, half-gray legal network manifested six layers above the Pope's head, condensing into a bloody scepter.

Symbolizing the unquestionable sixth-level power!

In addition to his arrogance towards all believers, there was also a trace of heartache that could not be concealed on Francis IV's face:

"Lancaster! Just your sin of forcing me to pay a huge price to launch this move makes you the most unforgivable sinner in the world.

When you lose your anchor and degenerate into a monster, I will make you suffer all the torture in the world! "

Excommunication, of course, comes with a price.

Even in those worlds without demons, an emperor who wants to kill powerful ministers with partisans all over the country must be cautious. If the country is not careful, the country may change hands.

If it weren't for Boss Cao's scruples, the old thief Sima would never have lived to usurp power.

What's more, this is in an extraordinary world?

With the Pope's supreme authority, excommunication on a powerless ordinary person would be easier than giving him food and water.

But for those kings and emperors who had great influence and carried countless anchors, they had to pay a heavy price.

Otherwise, it would not be a means for the Pope to suppress the situation.

In the 11th century of the Silver Age, when the church's power was at its peak, one-third of the arable land on the entire east coast was in the hands of the church. You can imagine how much of the population was directly under their rule.

The then Pope, St. Gregory VII, imposed "excommunication" on Henry IV, Emperor of the Holy Silver Empire, in the struggle for ecclesiastical and royal power.

He deprived the other party of his religious membership and throne, which led to rebellions and bloodshed throughout the empire.

But while St. Gregory VII demonstrated the majesty of the Pope and made countless kings fear him, he also lost the hearts of the people and countless anchors.

The rule of the church did not waver, but he himself was counterattacked by the powerful desire of his heart, and he irresistibly lost the favor of the [Pope Triple Crown].

Within a few years he was ousted from power by the armies of Henry IV.

The royal family and the church re-supported the coronation of another pope, which stabilized the position.

Most popes since then have pledged not to pioneer the use of excommunication against monarchs.

Under normal circumstances, they would imitate the emperor's method of governing the country and use gentler methods to get rid of dissidents.

For example, if an emperor wants to recruit a powerful minister, he usually does not do it himself. Instead, he supports a treacherous minister, pretends to be deceived, and waits until the treacherous minister kills the highly prestigious powerful minister, and then suddenly regains his wisdom.

Francis IV planned this way from the beginning.

If the Pyrenees Empire, a black glove supported by successive popes, had the possibility of taking down Byron, he would not have reached this stage.

Relying on the [Pope Triple Crown] to exert pressure and consume a large amount of the church's accumulated willpower will only make [Alaya] hate him, weaken his equity, and even deprive him of the papacy.

It is destined to be a lose-lose situation.

But Byron ruined everything he had carefully planned.

Now, we must take advantage of the fact that the news of the defeat of the Pyrenees Empire has not been known to the people of the entire Silver Continent, and seize the time to complete the minimum six-level promotion ceremony.

You have to make sure nothing goes wrong as soon as you make a move.

Even if this move has strong side effects, it is completely ignored.

Rumble.

The bloody scepter of excommunication fell on Byron's head in the blink of an eye.

"Well done, I've been waiting for your final three-axe for a long time."

Byron did not dodge, but stood solemnly.

The [Double Crown] on his head also lit up, quickly connecting to the fifth layer of the Silver Law.

He held out two fingers to the Pope, holding a piece of golden paper between them - [the first stock], and shouted:

“I, Byron Lancaster, the First Emperor of the Empire on which the sun never sets, deprive Francis IV of his status as the major shareholder of the Silver Law and the collective subconscious of mankind.

Ex-Pope, get out of here! "

Buzz—!

The power of law mobilized by both sides was like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, swarming in.

The Pope's body was black and red, but the legal network behind Byron was still as bright as ever. Most of the network that was not contaminated by the [Code of Solomon] was concentrated on him.

To the surprise of the former priests and current family members, the excommunication from the [Pope's Triple Crown], which was comparable to that of a demigod, failed to crush Byron's [Crown], but instead remained in a stalemate.

Francis IV's face changed drastically, and the condescending arrogance on his face was replaced by disbelief, and he screamed:

"Impossible! How come your possession of the Silver Law is so high?

Most of the church countries on the east coast are Orthodox countries, and the population you rule is far smaller than mine. Why should you compete with me? "

He knew that at the level of himself and Byron, ordinary first-level holy relics or incomplete zero-level holy relics could no longer play a key role.

The first-level holy relic piece of paper in Byron's hand is just a primer at best.

There is only one key to the duel between these two candidates for the captain of the material world at this time, and that is the human heart!

Whoever has more supporters can overwhelm his opponents.

The Pope was obviously not stupid. He was just stunned for a short time and then realized the key issue belatedly:

“Not only did you take the Iris and the Netherlands, but you also took the West Coast without me knowing?

That's right, it must be the great empire on the west coast that turned against us, otherwise you wouldn't be able to gather such a large amount of faith and will.

The Assassins didn't assassinate you at the beginning because you had already taken down the followers and even the position of [Caliph].

I knew that some time ago, the [Lord of the Two Seas and Two Lands] Muhammad II of the Star-Moon Empire was overthrown by his own son, and the story behind it was not that simple.

I have tried to overestimate your growth rate, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated you, a treacherous pirate leader! "

Although his guess is far from the actual situation, the general direction is correct.

Compared to the church, the founder of the law and the former major shareholder who naturally has the management rights of the Silver Continent.

If Byron wants to seize power, he can only buy the stocks in the hands of the scattered cargo one by one, starting from the small island country of the Kingdom of Hastings, the Iron Anchor Bay, the three countries of the Eternal Night Peninsula, the Fire Worship Empire, the Star-Moon Empire, the Iris Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, opening up the triangular trade, starting the global voyage, and taking over the sea power hegemony.

This gave him the confidence to kick the founder out of the board of directors and then go public through a backdoor listing.

Of course, just like this, the two parties are only about equal in equity.

But the Pope should never, ever, drag the entire Orthodox Church into the water to make up for his own "collective depravity".

In one breath, most of the hundreds of thousands of the most devout believers of the Orthodox Church were killed, and the remaining All those who were under him also changed from human to non-human.

Many clergymen of the Orthodox Church also changed from "administrators" of the legal system to fallen angels and demons.

This is equivalent to their own initiative to "reduce" their equity in the collective subconscious of mankind, allowing Byron to surpass 50%!

Perhaps in the Pope's view, the transition from the Silver Law to the [Solomon Code] is very short. As long as he survives the ceremony tonight, the entire legal network will change from public assets to his private property.

Even if the Creator who has lost himself and only has pan-consciousness is left, he can do nothing about him.

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

At this time, Byron's position as a major shareholder is well deserved!

As the equity balance completely tilts, the effect of [the first stock] is triggered:

"When the final equity is greater than 50%, the ownership of the power will immediately fall into Byron's hands, and it is not transferred by personal will. "

The Pope's scepter of excommunication smashed into Byron's [Double Crown] without any effect, but the backlash of the excommunication did not disappear with it.

The network of laws behind him flickered violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Ugh~"

At the same time.

Following a crisp "click", the [Triple Crown of the Pope] on Francis IV's head, along with the triple authority of heaven, earth, and man, suddenly collapsed.

"No——! My Silver Law!"

Byron corrected calmly:

"No! It's my Silver Law. "

The triple collapse means that Francis IV not only lost his position as the Grand Steward of the Silver Law, but also the church completely lost its own dominance over the continent that had been maintained for more than a thousand years because of its perverse actions over the years.

From now on, no clergy of any church can be crowned as a sixth-level pope!

The aura of the crown's collapse burst out, and Francis IV was blown away.

Several family members who were originally up and down on him and holding the black mass ceremony were blown into blood mist on the spot by the triple crown.

Bang!

Francis IV did not stop until he hit the altar heavily, and swallowed the blood that had not yet completely spurted out of his mouth.

But he did not give up. Instead, he staggered to his feet and shouted viciously:

"Byron Lancaster, you are still a step late.

My Creation Mountain Falling Sky Ceremony has been completed! "

Sure enough.

Byron followed his gaze and saw that the silver cross on the ground had completely turned black after being stained with the blood of him and those who committed adultery. There was no light left.

As he spoke, Francis grabbed the Holy Grail placed on the altar and drank the blood of Isabella the Unsullied in the cup.

The shadow under his feet suddenly stretched out its three pairs of wings, and in one breath, it covered the entire City of Seven Hills under its wings.

Immediately, the roof of the Pope's Palace was completely blown away by the invisible power, revealing the dark night sky covered by dark clouds.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A strange and huge heartbeat sound came from behind the dark clouds, and it instantly resounded throughout the City of Seven Hills.

I heard the whistling of the wind above my head, and the dark clouds in the sky rolled and turned into violently boiling red flesh and blood.

A translucent golden The red heart, dragging an inexplicable tubular biological tissue, slowly descended from the sky and hovered above Francis' head.

It was obvious that the other end of the biological tissue must be connected to the Pantheon where many "angels" were sleeping!

Orthodoxy really stole the immortal divinity of an old god.

The giant heart kept beating as if it was alive, and inside it was curled a perfect man with three pairs of black wings.

Every time the heart beat, the figure inside shrank a little, and Francis's breath became stronger. The former pumped the power of the figure into the latter's body like pumping blood.

Francis also quickly transformed into a weird mythical form.

His head stretched into a demon with messy horns, his skin was covered with scales like cracked magma, and countless black wings stretched out from his body, and blood-red eyes opened from the wings.

Each of them shot out a blood-red divine light full of corrosiveness, corroding the originally magnificent auditorium into a thousand holes.

"Hahaha demigod, this is the demigod!

I am the only demigod in the Old World, and the whole world must bow down to me."

Feeling the terrifying power surging in his body, Francis's "arrogance" that he had just lost returned to his face again, and his wild laughter shook the Seven Hills City.

But Byron reached the sixth level earlier than him!

At the moment when the [Pope's Triple Crown] collapsed, the three powers it once possessed:

"the authority of teaching", "the authority of governance", "the authority of servants"; as well as legislative power, judicial power, and administrative power; as well as the power of heaven, the power of earth, and the power of man, all rushed into the [Double Crown] on Byron's head, making up for the last missing power of this crown.

The gorgeous golden crown became particularly dazzling at this moment, and the brilliant divine light that bloomed offset the blood light, saving half of the auditorium.

The first layer of the crown is the sun at noon, the second layer is the setting sun at dusk, and the last third layer is the morning sun. The third layer originally had some minor defects and was not completely perfect, but now it is finally completely formed.

Boom--! ! !

Three suns competed for glory on Byron's head, as if he was wearing a gorgeous sun crown.

In the scorching sun, three faces also emerged, from middle age, old age, to the last teenager, all of them looked like him.

Time flows, connecting the long river of history, and the "limited omniscience" in Byron's hand is improved again.

There are also a series of titles: King of the Wild Hunt, Pirate Emperor, Sun King, Caliph, Eternal Successor of the Sun Never Sets Empire, Holder of the Overlord Certificate, Overlord of Sea Power.

One by one, they merged into it and recast this crown.

Finally, in the extremely brilliant golden flames, the supreme crown that can be compared with the [Pope's Triple Crown] or even better was synthesized-[True Human Emperor]!

The scope of this crown's rule is wider than that of the pope who only rules the silver continent.

The Dragon King's Court, the Beast Paradise, the Corridor of Truth, and the newly discovered new continent are all extensions of the power of this crown.

After Byron gained the leadership of all mankind, the title of [Human Emperor] finally lived up to his name.

At this moment, from mountains to seas, from one continent to another, the silver law, the golden law, and the bronze law all shone brightly and illuminated the night sky, and the whole world was as bright as day.

The majestic figure of the new emperor was also projected in the air.

It also declared that the ruling power of the material world has changed hands!

"Those who ate mine, spit it all out."

Byron opened his eyes again and found that [Solomon's Code] was still polluting his own silver law with the help of the Golden Ark of the Covenant, trying to turn mankind's public property into his own private property.

He immediately shouted and activated the title ability [Solar Storm]. The triple crown on his head, like a corona, burst into aura, burning the pope's eyes.

There is no need to pass on the fire one by one, the law network itself begins to carry the special attack power against various pollutions.

Zila Zila

The Solomon Law Network, which has spread from the Holy Silver Empire, was immediately surrounded by the thoughts and wishes from all over the world.

At this time, Byron temporarily replaced the position of the primate steward, and with the power of the masses provided by the huge "First Empire of the Sun Never Sets", he was undoubtedly a demigod who took the route of gathering the masses in the Ladder of Glory sequence.

Francis IV was not given a chance to fight back.

Byron witnessed the tragic scene along the way, and the majestic murderous aura accumulated in his heart also broke out at this moment.

"Huff--inhale--"

Byron's mouth and nose swallowed red and blue airflows, and [Utopia Storm King Seal] was transformed into [Solar Storm], and the square king seal became even hotter and more violent.

Swallowing the king seal in one gulp was like swallowing a nuclear fusion reactor.

The electromagnetic slingshot was fully fired, and the whole person lost his human form and turned into a blazing solar storm that filled the sky and the earth.

The entire auditorium was filled with violent electromagnetic radiation, high-energy charged particle flow and magnetized plasma.

The sky above was even more brilliant Aurora that spread over hundreds of kilometers.

Swish——!

There was a flash of lightning in the auditorium, and the sword in the stone was not unsheathed, but a sharp hand knife instantly cut off the Pope's neck.

Byron's speed was so fast that the ugly demon head didn't realize that something was wrong until it fell to the ground.

"Ahhhh."

Francis screamed miserably from his mouth and the charred neck section at the same time.

It was no different from the ordinary civilians outside who were cruelly slaughtered by them and used as promotion resources when they were dying.

Obviously, this was not a respectable opponent who was brave enough to sacrifice everything for his ideals, including his own life, but just an ugly clown.

"Enemy attack--!"

"Go to the Pope's Palace to support!"

Until then, the five fallen saints guarding the hill in front reacted and led their families to support in a hurry.

However, just as Byron attacked the Pope, Amitābād outside also attacked.

He turned the holy relic glass mirror in his hand and sucked St. John, who was about to rush to the Pope's Palace, into his own kingdom of God.

The scene suddenly changed, and the fallen saints with big eyes were shocked and angry, and asked the girl in front of him in a stern voice:

"Who are you?"

"You ask me who I am? Haha"

Amita chuckled, took out the skull mask of the Old Man in the Mountain and put it on her face.

Snap!

She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and the divine art of Desert Saber was activated.

Endless yellow sand whistled in, surrounding the struggling Saint John.

Amita poured various poisons into it, as well as the virulent virus she had taken from Alice, the Sick Girl, while explaining to him so that he could understand:

"At the beginning, His Majesty Saint Byron did not die under this move, but instead conquered the Assassins. His Majesty asked me to return it to you intact.

Mr. Saint John, please enjoy the West Coast health treatment and special SPA!"

After a few months, she finally reopened her sixth-level promotion to the God of Assassination.

Amita's progress was smooth, but Byron was surprised after defeating the enemy with one move and beheading the Pope.

The sword light in his palm summoned the [Sword in the Stone], holding the sword horizontally in his hand, as if facing a great enemy:

"The feeling is not right, where is the power that Francis IV stole from the Pantheon? How can a demigod be so weak?"

That strange feeling is as if the Pope is just a pipe, and water flows through his body, at most soaking the pipe, without leaving any drop of water.

Then, after losing the protection and cover of the Pope's triple crown and the demigod-level immortal divinity.

Byron finally saw clearly that the Pope's head seemed to be dragging a translucent umbilical cord, one end of which grew on the back of the head, and the other end disappeared into the void.

He immediately realized that Francis IV was just a medium for the [Immortal Divinity] to escape from the Pantheon, and the real fallen angel was someone else from the beginning!

The other party must be hiding in other corners of the Holy City.

Byron was about to fully launch the [God's Vision] suppressed by the Kingdom of God to carefully explore.

His [Fertility] priesthood gave him a strong hint.

——There is a pregnant woman giving birth nearby.

Danger!

Trample, tramp, tramp.

Those "female" demons who had made love with the Pope and desecrated the Cross emblem at the beginning had disappeared in the auditorium one after another when the fight started.

They did not flee in all directions as Byron imagined, but rushed out of the auditorium, through the corridor, and ran to an ordinary chapel.

The core of the entire Kingdom of God "City of Seven Hills" had long been quietly changed. It was no longer the Pope as a puppet and "adoptive father", but the current "delivery room".

In the eyes of these demons who were once clergy,

the way to the chapel became very unfamiliar. The corridor, the benches, the paintings on the wall...all normal things were covered with a layer of shadow, and gradually distorted into the style of impressionism.

It was hard to breathe with a huge stone pressing on the heart, and the gray air seemed to be solidified.

They panted hard, squeezed out the last bit of strength in their bodies and rushed into the delivery room, kneeling on the ground one after another, looking at the center of the room with fanatic faces.

The Son of God has been born here!

The wooden bed, bedding, and clothes on their bodies turned into ashes in the strong pollution of the demigod.

Only the uncontaminated [Unsullied] was unscathed.

The waiter left by Francis IV to take care of Saint Isabella also had a mental breakdown after witnessing the transcendent existence beyond the specification, and turned into a wailing rotten meat.

Only the young mother with a beautiful body like white jade naked in the air held up a ball of mercury-like indescribable things with infinite tenderness.

A foot in the room, a certain incarnation of the priesthood who had been lurking here for an unknown period of time, raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, and jumped into it as a divine light.

The next moment.

The heart floating above the head of the Seven Hills City completely dissipated with the wind.

"Wow"

The loud cry suddenly spread throughout the Seven Hills City.

All the ordinary people, chickens, ducks, livestock, earthworms, etc. who were lucky enough to survive, fell to the ground and died silently when they heard this cry.
