After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 260 The power you possess is the reason to be king (Update Day 4)
The sun rises in the east.

The bright sunshine makes the sea surface reflect the sparkling light.

Ryan walked on the deck facing the sea breeze.

At this moment, Freni is practicing in seclusion. She has just broken through the legend, so she needs to adapt more and try to study more profound rune knowledge.

The inheritance of the Rune Way does not stop here, but she was limited by her realm and could only reach that level.

And Cecilia is also practicing hard.

With nothing to do, Ryan flew alone to the sea not far from the Capsize and released the [Black Rose].

"Ow..."

As soon as he landed on the deck, Ryan heard an aggrieved whine.

"You guy, don't be angry. Here, I'll give you this."

Looking at Da Zi who turned away angrily, Ryan smiled, took out a small piece of dream-level flesh and threw it over.

Da Zi, who was originally ready to sulk because he hadn't come out for air for several days, was so attracted by the dream-level flesh and blood that he didn't care about being angry anymore. He quickly opened his mouth and swallowed the whole piece of meat into his belly with a moan.

After eating, it looked at Ryan eagerly, as if saying: "Who can eat this little minced meat?"

"This thing is a great supplement. You should digest it first." Ryan scolded with a smile.

Dream-level flesh and blood is extraordinary. In this world, it is the flesh and blood of a true god-level monster.

As for whether there are true god-level monsters in this world?

Ryan doesn't know, since he has never seen it until now.

As a natural evolution of red light, Da Zi has unparalleled qualifications, but its birth time is too short. Even if Ryan uses the best "feed", its current state is only the peak of the crown, that is, the peak of legend.

It is extremely difficult to digest meat across two realms. If there is a larger amount, it is possible to explode and die.

At first, Da Zi hummed disdainfully, but soon, the huge energy gushing out of the body immediately made it blush, and it quickly concentrated on digesting it.

Ryan smiled, walked to the bulwark and stood, looking at the new world to the north.

His eyes seemed to have traveled a long distance and landed on the only large landmass in the new sea area.

A connection called the "Thread of Sloth" allows him to share Jassim's sight.

……

New World, Star Empire, Royal Capital - Sayyem.

The endless flow of people, all kinds of rare goods, and the dozens of meters high buildings on both sides of the road all reflect the prosperity of this city.

Jassim walked out of the Black Onyx Chamber of Commerce's headquarters and tightened his cloak.

Because the goods were robbed by the Black Demon Pirates, he was severely punished.

Fine and ten years of worship!

If it were the original Jassim, he would be extremely distressed, but now that he has become a "lazy puppet", he naturally doesn't care.

The goal of his trip today was the Cathedral of the Golden Church located in the center of the west side of the royal city.

There is the headquarters of the Golden Church.

In fact, the Golden Cathedral does not prohibit civilians or even professionals from entering. As long as you are within a specific area, you can visit it at will.

After entering the Xicheng District, the buildings on both sides of the street began to show obvious differences. They have a strong religious style and are mainly white.

Looking around, Jassim thought to himself as he saw that there were many times more patrolling knights from the Golden Church on the street than usual.

"The Golden Church seems to have become particularly active recently?"

Moving forward, not long after, he arrived in front of the Golden Cathedral.

As the headquarters of the Golden Church, the majesty of the Golden Cathedral goes without saying.

Standing in front of the golden church, which is hundreds of meters high, humans look extremely small.

Just as Jassim was about to go in and take a look, he was stopped by the knight of the Golden Church in front:

"During special periods, non-believers are not allowed to enter."

"Sir, please leave."

The attitude of the Golden Church Knight couldn't be called indifferent, but it couldn't be called enthusiastic either. He just explained the order lightly.

Hearing this, Jassim nodded.

With his legendary strength, it is certainly impossible for him to disobey the orders of the Knights of the Golden Church.

Although this man is not as strong as him, once he makes trouble, there are strong men in the Golden Church who can suppress him instantly.

When he came to an open-air cafe not far away and sat down, Jassim ordered a cup of ordinary black coffee. It looked like he was taking a rest, but in fact, the corner of his eye was always focused on the golden cathedral in the distance.

Following his gaze, Ryan, who was thousands of miles away, also saw the headquarters of the Golden Church.

"It's definitely become more active..."

Jassim couldn't see it, but Ryan could see that from time to time, there would be legendary or even demigod-level professionals coming and going in the Golden Cathedral.

Even the seemingly peaceful golden cathedral is actually surrounded by a layer of high-energy fluctuations, vaguely forming a towering golden tree.

"Akroy's 'King's Selection Meeting' is such a big news, and with the current activity of the Golden Church, it is impossible to hide it from them..."

"But it doesn't matter. Without the presence of the true gods, the Golden Church's troops cannot be fully equipped. After all, they still have to guard against the Star Empire..."

"In this way, even if there are people from the Golden Church in the Four Kings Pirate Group, it will not be a cause for concern."

"No, to be on the safe side, we need to be prepared for the arrival of the true god-level existence of the Golden Church..."

On the [Black Rose], Ryan's thoughts fluctuated in his mind.

……

In the new sea area, a huge warship as black as ink with bones embedded in it broke through the waves and moved forward rapidly.

On the bow deck of the ship, three figures exuding strong aura stood.

——The Black Devil Pirate Group.

He is the most active among the Four Kings Pirate Group.

The activity here refers to "raiding merchant ships".

If the merchant ship encountered by the Black Demon Pirate Group does not cooperate, it will be bloodbathed.

In fact, in the past, merchant ships that encountered the Black Devil pirate group were bloodbathed regardless of whether they cooperated or not. The reason why they later restrained themselves was related to the pressure from the other three pirate groups.

"Will there be a selection meeting for the king..."

"It's really yours, Acroy."

"But, are you so confident?"

The man standing at the front was terrifyingly tall, at least three meters tall, but his limbs looked very slender.

This weird shape gives people the feeling of an erect skeleton.

There was a smile on his face, but he felt inexplicably cold.

"Lord Dark Devil." Standing behind the tall and thin man was a man wearing pitch black armor: "The church has sent a message that we must stop the 'King's Selection Meeting' no matter what."

"Ha..." Black Demon sneered, not agreeing, but not rejecting either.

He glanced at the dark armored knight, focusing on the black moon symbol on his chest.

"Even your Black Gold Knights are dispatched... It seems that the church attaches great importance to this."

"I know how to do it."

Hearing the Black Demon's words, the Black Moon Knight bowed slightly. The eyes under his helmet were indifferent and lifeless, without the slightest trace of humanity.

……

The red pirate flag fluttered in the sea breeze.

The Red Heart Pirate Group is the most special one among the Four Kings Pirate Group.

It is composed entirely of women. Its leader is a red-hearted person who wears a red mask all year round. No one has ever seen her true face.

The slender figure stood on the mast, and the red mask glowed with a faint golden light in the sun.

"Have you finally waited for this day..."

An inaudible voice came from Chixin's mouth.

She looked at the "promised place" of the King's Selection Meeting in the distance, with a deep luster in her eyes.

……

Green scales are attached to the ship. From a distance, what is sailing on the sea is not a ship, but a huge green-scaled beast.

It is said that it was a dangerous creature in the sea that the leader of the Blue Scale Pirates once killed.

On the deck, a man covered in white bandages looked deeply in his eyes.

Behind him, several cadres also looked very serious.

"Lord Qinglin, this time, we will help you ascend to the throne of king."

"This sea has been without a king for too long."

……

Falling Star Island.

This is a strange island.

It is said that an extraterrestrial star once fell here, hence the name.

There is no grass growing on the island, and the land is scorched black. Its shape is a regular circle, and in the center, there is a huge circular pit with a radius of one thousand meters.

Hundreds of professionals used wood to build a huge platform here.

After the prototype of the platform was built, specialized professionals stepped in to reinforce the platform.

The more than 300-meter-long Capsize docked near Falling Star Island, and Ryan, Freni, and Cecilia followed Ackroy to Falling Star Island.

This place is the venue for the King's Selection Meeting.

Seeing the venue being built from scratch, Acroy nodded with satisfaction. Then, she seemed to have remembered something, looked at Ryan beside her, and said:

"Mr. Lane, we can just follow the plan later."

"By the way, there is something I haven't told you."

"About the composition of the Golden Church's combat power."

"Oh?" Ryan's eyes moved.

He really didn't know much about this.

From Jassim's mouth, he learned that the Golden Church had ten semi-god-level priests under the true god-level pope. Other than that, he knew nothing else.

"The apparent combat strength of the Golden Church is indeed only ten demigod-level priests."

Acroy's tone was gentle: "But, in addition to the priests, there is also a knighthood called 'Black Gold' secretly."

"And the possible existence of forbidden holy relics."

"Black Gold Knights, forbidden holy relics?" Ryan frowned slightly.

"Yes." Acroy started his sermon: "The Black Gold Knights, you can understand it as a special knights order of the Golden Church that performs certain tasks that are inconvenient to see in the light. It is very powerful. It is said that the Black Gold Knights are the strongest. The five knights are called the 'Five Black Gold Pillars', and their strength has reached the semi-god level."

"As for the forbidden holy relic...this thing is more complicated."

Acroy paused: "Do you know, the fallen gods?"

"In the Era of the Gods, gods are not eternal. As long as their divine kingdom is completely destroyed, they can be truly killed."

"And those bones of fallen gods, made through a series of complex processes, are forbidden holy relics."

"The strength of the forbidden holy relics varies, but they all have the same characteristic, that is, using the forbidden holy relics requires paying a huge price, and because of the personality of the divine remains, their effects are often irresistible. "

"At least, under the gods, there is no resistance."

"Mr. Lane, this is for you."

While talking, Acroy handed over a very ordinary-looking necklace: "Wear this thing. If a forbidden holy relic takes effect on you, the effect will be resisted."

Ryan took it and took a look.

-

[Overturning Necklace]: A special creation, a special necklace constructed with a trace of the original power at the core of the Overturning Palace. It can resist the effect of [Forbidden Holy Relic] (level seven and below).

-

After reading the introduction on the panel, Ryan thanked Ackroy, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

In the past few days, he had had several close contacts with Acroy, but he did not feel any special fluctuations in the other party, nor did he see the "body" of the Overturned Palace.

From this point of view, the mystery of this object is definitely not comparable to that of a real artifact.

If he hadn't seen the words "Core of the Overturned Palace" now, he wouldn't have been able to discover any connection between the Overturned Palace and this woman.

"The core of the Overturned Palace..." Ryan was thinking in his mind.

After conducting an inspection and confirming that there were no mistakes, the three Ryans, Acroy, and a group of senior officers from the Capsize stationed themselves on Falling Star Island.

According to the summons, at dusk today, it is the time for the "King's Selection Meeting" to begin.

Time passes gradually.

Before you know it, dusk is approaching.

The ships of the other three pirate groups finally appeared on the sea, approaching Luo Xing Island from different directions.

About a few nautical miles away from Luo Xing Island, three huge ships stopped at the same time.

The protective shield was opened, and then three pirate groups landed on the island at the same time.

At this moment, light and darkness officially alternate, and night takes over the world.

The light of the beating torch brings light.

In front of the venue, the maid crossed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed slightly in an elegant manner:

"Everyone, welcome to the 'King's Selection Meeting'."

"Sir Acroy has already explained the specific matter in the summons, so I won't repeat it again."

"So, do you have any doubts?"

After the maid finished speaking, a gloomy male voice sounded.

The tall, thin, skeleton-like Black Devil chuckled gloomily: "Hehehe..."

"Miss Maid, long time no see."

"The Golden Church is powerful and compresses our living space. If the four kings pirate groups unite together, they can naturally better fight against the Golden Church, but..."

He changed his tone: "It's one thing to unite, but it's another thing to decide who will make the decision after joining together."

"How should the 'Pirate King' in Acroy's mouth be selected?"

After Black Demon raised the question, Chixin and Qinglin remained silent.

Obviously, this issue is also a matter of concern to both parties.

The maid was obviously already prepared, and she bowed gracefully and said: "Since you are the Pirate King, you must have the magnanimity and power of a king."

"No matter who among the Four Pirate Kings, as long as they can step onto this stage and stand on it until the end, they are the deserving kings."

"Three captains, what do you think?"

"...Not a bad method." A strange arc appeared at the corner of the Black Devil's mouth.

"Okay." Chixin's voice was calm.

Qing Lin nodded slightly.

The rules of the King's Selection Conference are very rough, and there are no specific definitions, but... it is precisely because of this that the person who can stand on top in the end can become the unquestioned king.

The rules were established, and the dark devil looked at the maid: "Where's Acroy? Since she proposed this conference, it's not too much for her to go on stage first, right?"

"Of course it's not too much." A gentle female voice sounded, and Akoroy walked out from behind: "In this conference, the person who overthrew the pirate group will be the first to take the stage." The moment Akoroy's voice fell, there was a deep sound. The sound of footsteps reached the ears of everyone present.

"Tap tap... tap tap..."

The mottled firelight reflected the ferocious armor, and the huge sword stretched across the back.

Ryan glanced down flatly.

The armor all over the body made it impossible to see the faces of the people in the ring clearly, but the invisible violent aura made the eyes of Black Demon, Red Heart and Qinglin suddenly become serious.

"It seems that there is no such person in the overthrowing pirate group, right?" Black Devil said in a low voice.

"If someone joins my overthrow pirate group, do I still need your permission?" Akroy chuckled and said, "Just fight. If you don't dare to go up, just stay down there."

"..." The veins on Black Devil's neck bulged, and he said in a cold voice: "Skeleton Sword, you go first."

"Yes." A thin man standing behind the Black Demon said respectfully.

He was wearing a black cloak, and his whole body was shrouded in it. He was no more than 1.5 meters tall, and his arms outside the sleeves were exposed, dry and black.

He walked onto the ring silently, like a shadow in the night.

There is no referee, so there is no "321" countdown. The moment Su Dao steps onto the ring, the battle officially begins.

Under the moonlight, the figure of the Bone Sword wearing a black cloak seemed to disappear into the darkness.

"Silk……"

The night wind blew, and a figure hidden in the wind came silently behind Ryan. A dagger darker than the night came out of his hand and struck directly at the back of Ryan's neck.

There was excitement in the depths of Xu Dao's eyes.

That's right, that's it!
The feeling of taking away the life of a strong man in this shadow is intoxicating!
As a person at this moment, Xu Dao has seen many professionals whose frontal strength is much stronger than him, but because of his carelessness, he fell under his dagger.

Now, it's just a reenactment of the scene.

There is no doubt that this professional, who wears ferocious armor and carries a big sword on his back, is very capable in frontal combat.

But no matter how strong the head-on fighting ability is, you still have to find someone to do it...ah...

An invisible ripple spread, causing Su Dao's thoughts to become sluggish.

His pupils clearly reflected the sight of his dagger stabbing down little by little, but what frightened him was that the man with the big sword in front of him turned around at a normal speed, and there was a pale figure looming under the helmet. Blue light eyes looked into his eyes.

The next moment, a gradually enlarging fist flooded all of Skeleton Blade's field of vision.

Around the arena.

In everyone's sight, the skeleton knife flashed behind Ryan, like an insect solidified in amber.

Ryan turned around calmly, raised his hand slowly and quickly, and punched Su Dao in the face.

It seemed like an easy punch, but when it touched the door of the skeleton blade, there was an explosion of "boom".

White air waves swept across all directions, and the figure of the Bone Sword had long since disappeared, replaced by blood mist flying across the sky.

With just a light punch, a professional who had just become a demigod exited in this way.

This scene shocked everyone present. Even the pupils of Black Demon, Qing Lin and Chi Xin suddenly shrank.

"The limit of a demigod? Hahaha...Akoroy, you hide it very deep."

The black devil snorted with a smile.

After the corpse knife died, Ryan turned around again and glanced at the people below with an indifferent gaze.

Except for the captain, the members of the Black Devil, Green Scale, and Red Heart pirate groups all instinctively lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

"interesting……"

The Dark Devil twisted his neck: "Is this your plan?"

"I admit that your ability to overthrow the pirate group is indeed the strongest among the Four Kings pirate group, but it is not enough..."

He took a step forward, and a tall figure instantly appeared on the ring.

"Hey, nameless guy, tell me your name."

"My name is Dark Devil."

"Don't kill the nameless people with the sword."

Spirituality as majestic as the sea, which shocked the environment, surged up from the Black Demon, like a huge shadow demon that expanded, completely submerging the entire arena.

A huge black-edged sword rose from the shadows on the ground and was held by the black devil.

The ultimate power of the demigods is fully revealed!
Ryan turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on the black devil.

The next moment, a harsh explosion echoed through the sky.

"Boom!"

Ryan appeared at the Black Devil's location and kept punching.

A black shadow quickly retreated under the huge bombardment, opening a chasm of several hundred meters on the ground.

"Sisi..."

White smoke curls up.

A fist-shaped depression appeared on the surface of the black-edged sword in front of him, and from the center, dense cracks covered the entire blade.

The hands of the black devil holding the knife trembled slightly.

His eyes were fixed on the figure on the ring, filled with intense shock.

The power contained in that punch gave him the feeling that the opponent he was facing was not a human being at all, but a giant Titan.

"boom!"

The black-edged sword shattered into pieces, and the black demon turned into a stream of light, shooting straight into the sky.

In an instant, he reached the sky above the ring and made a gesture of opening his hands and embracing the sky.

"Come, Black-Winged Demon!"

Rolling black mist gushes out of the Black Demon's body. In a very short period of time, a hundred-meter giant made of shadow appears, and the black sword that is tens of meters long in its hand falls down.

At the same time, a faint cyan light emerged behind Ryan.

Qing Lin, who was covered with bandages all over his body, appeared on the field, closed his hands, and shouted loudly: "Forbidden!"

Dozens of cyan, scaly tentacles emerged from Ryan's feet and wrapped tightly around his ankles.

This king's selection meeting has never been said to be a one-on-one duel.

As a king, you should have the power to conquer all enemies.

However, no one expected that as the leader of the Four Kings Pirate Group, Qing Lin would choose to join forces with the Black Demon to attack Ryan secretly.

Even if you win with such despicable behavior, you still won't be able to claim the title of king.

In fact, if possible, Qinglin would not do this.

But the sense of oppression brought by Ryan was too strong.

That punch of Hongfei Black Demon's fist hundreds of meters away not only shattered the black-edged sword, but also shattered the luck in Qinglin's heart.

He is very clear.

Fighting alone, he was no match for this mysterious man. Therefore, although there was no communication beforehand, the moment their eyes intertwined, he made the decision to join forces with the Black Devil.

One person is responsible for attacking, and one person is responsible for trapping.

Thus, there was the current killing situation.

Wherever the huge black chopping knife passed, the space was distorted.

Ryan raised his head slightly, his eyes calm as before.

He raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword behind him.

In an instant, a sense of life and death crisis that could not be described in words emerged from the hearts of Qinglin and Black Demon.

Without waiting for further reaction from the two.

Great sword, draw it out.

"Qiang..."

The black chopping knife broke, and the black demon behind it was even more shattered.

The two figures were thrown away at the same time.

At this moment, time seems to have become frozen.

It wasn't until the sound of two figures landing was heard that everyone's dull eyes gradually returned to normal.

Outside the ring, nearly a thousand meters away, the Black Demon was half-kneeling on the ground, his body covered with blood. A huge sword mark appeared from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, almost cutting him into two pieces. The depth of the wound could be seen. The squirming guts inside.

All the bandages on the blue scale body surface disappeared, revealing the skin covered with blue scales and constantly bleeding.

Both of them seemed to be spiritually depressed.

With just one sword strike, the two leaders of the Four Kings pirate group were seriously injured and fell to their knees?

At this moment, everyone watching the battle was as if they were in a dream.

Even Akoroy had a look of surprise in his eyes - this level of strength is more than a bit stronger than when he fought against the spirit man yesterday...

"Cough cough..."

The peaceful atmosphere was broken by the black devil's cough.

He stood up with difficulty, looked at the tall figure standing on the ring, and lowered his head bitterly: "I surrender."

The Black Demon knew very well that the sword strike just now was a sign of mercy from the opponent.

Otherwise, he would have completely become two pieces now.

How is this the limit of a demigod?
The dark devil roared crazily in his heart.

After the black devil admitted defeat, Qinglin on the other side also lowered his head: "I also admit defeat."

They are both at the limit of demigods, but the strength gap between the two is so huge that it makes people feel as if they are a big difference in realm.

"Admit defeat..."

With the numbers of Black Demon and Qing Lin, the members of Black Demon Pirate Group and Qing Lin Pirate Group lowered their heads and turned extremely pale.

But at the same time, deep awe could not help but appear in his eyes.

So powerful, so domineering...

On the ring, Ryan turned his head and his eyes fell on Chixin, who did not take the opportunity to make a sneak attack and stood there.

Since the battle, he spoke for the first time:
"Are you going to challenge me?"

The sound was not loud, but the majesty contained in it made the scene become silent again.

With everyone watching, Chixin shook his head: "It's not necessary."

"Your strength is far greater than mine."

"The Overthrow Pirates are well-deserved as the leaders of the Four Kings Pirates Alliance."

"But I have a question. Is the Pirate King your Excellency, or the leader of the overthrown pirate group, Acroy?"

As soon as Chixin finished speaking, Acroy on the side chuckled and said, "I voluntarily withdraw from the selection of the king."

"In that case, you shall be the pirate king."

"May I ask your honorable name?"

"Ryan Leland." A deep voice sounded.

Hearing this, he bowed with all his heart and bowed:
"Lord Ryan."

"With all my heart, I would like to pay my respects to the Pirate King."

"The power you possess is the reason to be king"

Black Demon and Qinglin on the side, although they were unwilling to do so, bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Pirate King."

As the three men bowed their heads, all the members of the pirate group they belonged to also bowed and knelt down: "Greetings, Pirate King."

The cool night breeze was blowing.

Ryan stood on the ring and looked flatly at the only figure in the Black Devil Pirates who stood still and never knelt down:

"So, are you a member of the Golden Church?"

"Clap clap clap!"

Applause sounded from the darkness.

"Pirate King, Ryan? He is really powerful."

Walking out with applause and laughter was a smiling young man wearing black armor with dark gold patterns.

He had long blond hair hanging casually on his shoulders, and the figure in the Black Devil pirate group who had never knelt came up behind the young man and bowed.

"Introduce yourself."

The young man smiled: "My name is Lansford, and I am the leader of the Black and Gold Knights."

"The Pope once said that you will be the source of all troubles."

"Now it seems that there is absolutely no exaggeration."

Dark golden light spread under the young man's feet, forming a large magic circle with a radius of more than ten meters.

With the flash of light, seven figures walked out.

Four of them wore priest uniforms with white background and gold patterns, and the other three, like the knight behind the young man who returned from the Black Demon Pirate Group, wore pitch black armor.

Although the costumes are different, the eight people have one thing in common.

None of their spiritual strength is lower than the demigod level!
"Pirate King, Mr. Ryan, please come with me."

"The Pope wants to see you."

"If possible, I really don't want to do it. After all, what I hate most is fighting and killing people."

The smile on the young man's lips remained. He bowed slightly and made an invitation.

"Just you?"

There was no emotion or anger in Ryan's tone.

"His Excellency, the Pirate King, is joking." The young man spread his hands and said, "Having just seen your strength, even I don't dare to claim a guaranteed victory."

"But the Pope has his orders, and I must obey them."

"It's so nice that everyone is so harmonious. It would be too troublesome to start taking action."

"but……"

"If you are really unwilling to cooperate, no matter how reluctant I am, I will have to take action..."

After the last word "Le" fell, the young man burst out with terrifying spirituality.

This spiritual strength has exceeded the limits of demigods.

At the same time, a black gold knight standing behind the young man raised his hand.

A strange small coffin appeared on his hands.

In just an instant, the spiritual fluctuations in this black gold knight's body shrank to the extreme. All the spiritual energy and blood in his body were sucked into the coffin, and his whole body became dry at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The vitality is extremely low.

Then, countless fine lines appeared on the surface of the small coffin, and the bloody light exploded, turning into a stunning magic circle that enveloped the entire Falling Star Island.
