An ocean of pure, interweaving light poured out from within the crown, condensing into a scorching white spear of light.
Two pristine white wings unfurled in layers, embracing the spear tip like an angel, sealing all surrounding space, and charging straight towards the blood-stained dark red spear.
Manipulating "0-36" to destroy the Spear of Longinus, the former Duke of Southville snorted coldly, his golden eyes looking in a certain direction.
Although Bernadette could create a barrier isolated from the outside world and difficult to connect to, using "Mystical Reenactment", he had already discovered this hidden Pirate King through the imbalance in the surrounding area.
Prince Grove's even more majestic and grand voice echoed throughout the entire Abyss vortex:
"Mystical Reenactment is forbidden here!"
The crown woven from thorns detached from Grove's head and flew towards Dlink Augustus, making his illusory body increasingly solid.
The angel-level "Notarization" also allowed his decree targeting "Mystical Reenactment" to be further strengthened!
The colorful peach forest turned into an illusion, and Klein suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness as if his feet were in the air. Before he could react, his body was lifted by a slowly rotating cluster of stardust, and in an instant, it brought him back to the small island.
Dlink Augustus's eyes flickered, and before he could make another move, an incredibly complex amount of knowledge filled his consciousness, instantly making his pupils somewhat dull, reflecting pairs of illusory and sacred white wings.
Watching Bernadette being dragged into a struggle in the prayer scene, Aaron tapped his finger on the back of the chair, not intending to act personally, but merely weakening the "Weaken Mysticism, Enhance Reality" decree by influencing his own Pathway.
With his status, by using the true vision provided by the Nation of Disorder, he had long seen that this angel of the Loen Royal Family was merely a projection of power maintained by special means and "0-36".
Otherwise, if it were a genuine Balancer, even if it meant falling out with the Loen Royal Family now and risking exposure to the Gods, he would have acted.
"Heh, if it weren't for '0-36', how much foundation would the Loen Royal Family still have…."
Aaron withdrew his gaze from the dazzling crown, a cold sneer playing on his lips. This grand pirate gathering was originally instigated by him through Nast.
Besides helping Nast complete his advancement ritual, the more important purpose was to draw out those restless fellows, slowly cut off their flesh and blood, erode the foundations of the Northern Continent nations, and consume their war potential.
As if sensing something, Aaron looked at the prayer scene. To the south of the Abyss vortex, near Sonia Island, a thick mist had appeared at some point, with ships dimly visible within it.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and Aaron snorted. Threads of dark golden mist condensed and merged into Nast's prayer star, using the Sefirah imprint left in the "Duke of Entropy" Beyonder characteristic to exert influence, helping Nast maintain the balance of his anchor and accelerate his advancement.
Another ray of light, carrying his will, surged into the dome above, into the brilliant star representing Bayer Baile.
Inside the towering black palace at the center of the small island, "Vice Admiral Dusk" Bulatov Ivan's eyes flickered as he watched Nast disappear, and his sense of unease grew stronger.
As the Feysac Empire's informant among the pirates, it was he who had leaked the news that Nast would personally attend this pirate gathering.
Before he could say anything or incite those pirates to create chaos, his sense of unease suddenly surged like a bursting dam. Relying on his combat instincts, he only managed to kneel on one knee and enter a defensive state.
The defense, which could barely resist attacks at the demigod level, was instantly shattered. At the spot where "Vice Admiral Dusk" had stood, a silver sharp light abruptly appeared, destroying everything from the inside out.
Shaking the silver-white rapier in his hand, Bayer Baile, whose body had expanded to five or six meters and was clad in exquisite, sturdy silver full body armor, stood on the pile of flesh and blood.
Behind his faceplate, a cluster of orange-red light appeared, like a single eye, coldly scanning the faces in the hall—some indifferent observers, some astonished and horrified. He casually picked up the Beyonder characteristic that was gradually condensing from the flesh and blood, the size of a fist, resembling a heart, covered in holes, and shimmering with the light of dawn.
A Pirate Admiral renowned throughout the Five Seas was thus killed on the spot in such a comical manner. Everyone looked at this gigantic Pirate King, their expressions changing.
Siatas's figure appeared like a ghost beside Bayer Baile. Her eyes had completely turned silver-white, and her aura was even slightly stronger than Bayer Baile's. The one controlling this body was the Calamity Queen, Cohinem.
Ignoring the Pirate admirals in the palace with their varied expressions, "Siatas" seemed to sense something. Her eyebrows raised slightly, and a strange smile appeared on her face, then she took Bayer Baile into the Sea of Collective Subconscious.
At the southern end of the small island, Klein felt the tremor of the sea and the huge roar, his expression extremely grim. He was not interested in the fate of those pirates, but there was no need to put himself in danger for such an encirclement targeting the Pirate Kings.
Klein extended his left hand, which was not wearing the human-skin glove. Flesh and blood wriggled on his palm, revealing the "Eye of Rusco". The Sea God Scepter, inlaid with blue-green "gems", emerged from his deep pupils.
He did not touch it directly, but merely manipulated the Sea God Scepter through the "Eye of Rusco" to influence the nearby sea Monsters. If the situation became unmanageable, he would have a way to escape.
"What a lucky human. I'll borrow this item for a while. You wouldn't mind, would you…."
A clear female voice suddenly echoed on the Mind Island. Klein's expression instantly froze, and the Sea God Scepter, which had been suspended in front of him, vanished in an instant.
-----------------
Under the cover of thick fog, the organized Sonia Sea fleet approached the Abyss vortex to the north.
On the leading flagship, Awatoma Einhorn, the "Supreme Commander" of the Sonia Sea Theater and a Weather Warlock from the royal family, had silver light flickering in the depths of his eyes as he gazed into the distance. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"In battlefields below the angel level, Loen's ironclads are indeed a huge threat."
"It's a pity that a contract has already been signed with Loen's 'Founder'. This trip can only be to exterminate those pirates….."
His adjutant, who was behind him, was about to say something when his skin suddenly became granular, gradually turning grayish-blue. At the center of his brows, flesh and blood wriggled, as if some Monster was about to emerge.
The adjutant, who had already reached Sequence 5, immediately entered a state close to losing control.
Awatoma Einhorn, who could communicate telepathically with the entire fleet, instantly detected the anomaly. Following the source of the corruption, he "saw" a greenish-black giant's head.
