Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

Chapter 654 King of the Five Seas
“Ah?” Danitz was stunned for a moment, and then, like his captain, he looked up at the sky. As an “arsonist”, he could not find anything different in the sky, whether with his naked eyes or spiritual perception.

Like him, Orpheus and Daniels could not see anything unusual. Only Anderson, who was at a higher sequence, could vaguely sense the slight heaviness in the air.

The next second, the sea breeze above suddenly rolled up, pulling quickly, gathering in mid-air, forming a dark wind vortex.

The surrounding spirituality suddenly became active, and shadows abruptly covered the dock below. Under the astonished gaze of Ethan and others, a huge three-masted sailing ship covered in pure black flew out from the vortex in the air.

There were lanterns hanging on both sides of it. It was nearly a hundred meters long and had three black canvases hanging on it. There was no obvious emblem on the ship. Only on the deck, near the cabin, there was a huge stone high-backed chair.

Anderson looked up at the huge sailboat passing overhead with his eyes wide open. Before receiving the news, he had thought of many possible developments, but he never expected that a pirate king would appear, and be a friendly one at that.

Beside him, Danitz exclaimed:

"'Black Emperor'! Is this the real main force? Who invited the 'King of the Five Seas' to move?"

"We have also publicized the bounty offered to pirates."

Edwina was equally surprised by the appearance of the "King of the Five Seas", but her tone remained calm.

After hearing what his captain said, Danitz immediately explained:
"Of course, I know. I have also spread the news. However, I thought it was just a show. I didn't expect that even the 'King of the Five Seas' would show up. How many gold pounds would it cost? No, how many patterned gold coins!"

"Oh, stupid! Can someone of the Pirate King's level be hired with money?"

"That guy must have promised the 'lawyer' the angel level potion formula, or some clues to the materials."

Anderson mocked Danitz twice, and subconsciously recalled the scene in Mr. Fool's kingdom of God. Perhaps one of the two blasphemous cards lying upside down on the table was the Black Emperor card.

On the "Black Emperor", Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", wearing a scaled-down spire crown and a black robe with silver edges, stood calmly at the bow. His deep black eyes were glowing with a dark red light, making him look extremely oppressive.

On his left, Prak Eggers, wearing a dark coat and a half-high silk hat, looked calmly at the sea in the distance, with a pale flame burning faintly in his eyes.

On the right, a young woman wearing a dark purple classical wizard robe, with silver hair and an exceptionally beautiful face, was half leaning against the side of the ship, holding a brass helmet stained with blood in her hands. She was none other than the "mysticist" Parsna, one of the ten pillars of the Moss Ascetic Order in charge of the affairs of this port and in possession of a holy relic.

Around the "Black Emperor", transparent spirits were swimming in the air in a very regular pattern, stirring up waves all around and lifting the "Black Emperor" up, floating steadily in the air.

Parsna looked at the sea in the distance, her eyes suddenly became deep, and an imperceptible lavender glow slowly floated in her eyes.

After a moment, she retracted her gaze, wrapped one hand around the blood-stained brass helmet in her arms, and reached into her arms with the other hand, took out a playing card-sized card, and handed it to Nast, the "King of the Five Seas", who was standing steadily at the bow, and said:
"Your Highness has made some changes to the Black Emperor card, one of the twenty-two blasphemous cards created by Emperor Roselle. You can borrow some power from it temporarily and unleash the power of the Duke of Entropy."

"This is a one-time use. You must take it back to let His Highness replenish your strength after use."

Nast nodded slightly without saying anything, and took the Black Emperor Card in his hand. This was the reward that Renekton paid him in advance for helping him attack the Intis naval fleet.

In addition, there is a promise from Emperor Roselle that when he no longer needs more characteristics to maintain his own status, he will be given the characteristic of "Prince of Order Slayer".

Under what circumstances would a true God not need the complete three copies of the sequence one characteristic to maintain his personality and jump path? Or, there are still some secrets hidden in the sequence path. I hope my choice is not wrong.

The dark red in Nast's eyes became even darker. The frequent actions of the gods made him sense a sense of crisis. The future that was originally within his sight seemed to be shrouded in a cloud, so he agreed to Roselle's invitation and helped them confront the armies of Intis and Feysac head-on.

The artillery on both sides of the "Black Emperor" changed direction under the operation of the undead, and all aimed at the steel fleet on the distant sea.

Parsna leaned against the side of the ship, her right fingers gently brushing across the helmet in her hands, as if she was reminiscing about the past through it.

After a while, she suddenly chuckled and whispered:
"The 'Steam' Church's mobility is really unexpected. In such a short period of time, they sent so many fleets and airships to simultaneously attack all ports along the Uttar Pradesh and the Pas River Valley."

"I am somewhat worried about whether His Highness the Favored One and His Highness the 'Dark Angel' can withstand the pressure from the various forces on the southern continent." "You should be worried about whether the various forces on the southern continent can withstand their pressure. They are the spokespersons of their respective gods, and they represent the will and majesty of the gods. Except for the 'God of Evil' from the Rose School, it is difficult for the other angels to confront them under the gaze of the true God."

Nast looked down at the sea ahead and responded in a flat tone.

As soon as the words fell, red flames burst out one after another on the steel fleet on the distant sea. Shells with pale gold, silver, or scarlet tails were fired one after another, approaching at a high speed and spreading all over the port of Orleston.

"Same style as always." Parsna sighed in a low voice.

As she spoke, tiny pieces of pale blue starlight emanated from the fingertips of her right hand that was placed on the brass helmet, and the brass helmet lit up with a silver-white light like the morning sun.

The light quickly spread outward, completely covering the "Black Emperor" and the surrounding area, creating an invisible and solid defensive wall around it.

Nestor stretched out his right hand and made a pushing motion. The surrounding silver-white light surged again, directly covering the entire Orleston Port.

The protective power materialized into a solid, gorgeous yet weightless silver barrier that connected to the earth and became unshakable.

Bright flames exploded on the protective barrier, rendering fleeting flaming fireworks one after another. The sounds of artillery bombardment and the air being cut through only sounded a beat late along with the explosions.

The flames, either silver, red, or golden, were so dense that they completely submerged the silver-white protective barrier.

As time went by, the long-range attacks of the Steam Church completely stopped. The unshakable silver-white barrier connected to the earth began to shake, and dense cracks appeared. It was almost at its limit and could collapse at any time.

Nestor stared calmly ahead, his eyes seemed to be observing the fleet on the sea through the silver-white barrier and the brilliant flames.

After a moment, he said in a deep and majestic voice: "Almost."

Prak Eggers nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the dock behind him. Under his feet, arms full of bones, vines covered with eyes, and slippery tentacles with scales intertwined to form an eerie and terrifying long staircase bridge that spiraled downwards.

A howling cold wind suddenly blew, the surrounding light quickly dimmed, a thin layer of white mist filled the air, the originally hot summer temperature also dropped rapidly at this moment, and a layer of white frost had quietly covered the ground.

In a flash, a bronze door covered with mysterious patterns and difficult to describe appeared out of thin air in the middle of the long staircase bridge that spiraled downwards. It shook and creaked, cracked a gap, and slowly opened.

On the dock below, Phoenix, who had been paying attention to the movements in the air, took a deep breath, stretched out his palms, and pushed forward, as if he was pushing open a door that did not exist.

The cold wind was howling around, and a bronze door that was also covered with mysterious patterns quickly appeared in front.

Inside the gate, there was a darkness with no end in sight. There were numerous indescribable eyes staring out to the outside world, and a large number of strange, wriggling things that could not be seen clearly for the time being were madly rushing towards them.

In a second or two, a bronze door covered with mysterious patterns appeared on every street in Port Orleston, shaking, creaking, and slowly opening.

Countless ghosts of wronged souls emerged from it, hovering in the air, and blending into the bricks, soil, roadside trees, and gas lamp poles on the ground. At this moment, the underworld seemed to overlap with reality to a certain extent, and the breath of death instantly filled the air, rendering the entire port like hell.

The overly strong smell of death made the living people staying in the port feel uncomfortable instinctively, as if their bodies were dying bit by bit.

Anderson sniffed and said uncomfortably:

"It's so cold. It's colder than the winter in the polar sea and the North Sea. I feel like my soul is freezing."

Beside him, Danitz, Ethan and others were huddled together, shivering and struggling to speak.

Orpheus wanted to summon a holy light to clear away the death and cold aura around him and adjust the status of himself and others, but was stopped by Edwina:
"Don't use the power of the Sun Realm. It will destroy the harmony here and cause the surrounding souls, undead spirits, and natural spirits to resist, which will be detrimental to the next action."
