Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 548: Every action has its consequences, and I am your retribution!
crackling
The shattered flesh, bones, brain matter, and semi-elemental black liquid from the killer whale's head suddenly spread all over the sea.

But even though he was injured like this, the back half of Dagon's body was still wriggling to heal the wound, attracting the scattered flesh and blood and tissue to piece together a complete [Abyss Nightmare].

Even though he has lost most of his resistance, this fifth-order pseudo-god is still a long way from true death.

The physical vitality of a fifth-level [False God] is as tenacious as the spiritual obsession of a fifth-level legend.

At this time, Violet transformed into a siren and flew to Byron's side, wearing the divine mask of Queen Frigga.

He took out his first-level relic [First Bolt-Action Rifle] and pointed it at Dagon's body, ready to shout: "My lord, times have changed."

Effect: "Whether the opponent is an elemental creature, evil spirit, grotesque, or other extraordinary creature, your gun will cause real physical damage to the opponent.

No one is immune except for the seventh-level true god. All extraordinary abilities are just fancy words and will cost you a life.

If one shot doesn't kill, shoot twice.

Physical exorcism, God will kill you too!"

With this insurance in hand, there is no need to spy on where the death line of a fifth-level false god is, and you can force the other party to go to hell.

Dagon also felt the danger personally, and his flesh and blood squirmed faster, but he soon realized in despair that no matter how fast he was, he could not be faster than the opponent's bullets.

Then he wanted to use the hidden hand he had left on his daughter, to save his own soul with the help of this goddess who was cultivated as a resurrection vessel and seriously lacked all kinds of extraordinary common sense.

Only then did he realize that his daughter Freya's body had long been occupied by another consciousness, and her entire body, from soul to body, had been modified into the shape of someone else, resisting his invasion in all directions.

The power level is no less than when he was victorious, and it also carries with it a strong sense of oppression that he had felt from the mask of the God-King [God of Prophecy, Kingship and Wild Hunt].

The soul had just left the body when it bounced back with a "bang".

The last trump card failed, and he could not help but howl in despair like a lone wolf.

Byron transformed from a humpback whale back into a human form, walked on the water and came to him, smiling maliciously:

“Mr. Dagon, I know you are anxious, but please wait.

Let me give you a hand."

He raised his right hand, with blue ghost fire burning on the tips of his five fingers. He pulled hard at the remains of the killer whale, and a translucent human figure who was still struggling was forcibly pulled out by him.

Dagon's soul is no longer in human form, but an octopus-like mollusk, which is probably his mythological form.

When he was dragged out alive by Byron, countless tentacles were still tightly wrapped around his body, and he was unwilling to be at the mercy of others.

"Surgical table, unfold!"

Om-!
The surgical operating table originally had a diameter of only three meters, but after Byron became a god, with the qualitative change of divine aura and medical power, its diameter expanded at least ten times.

After applying "physical anesthesia" to Dagon's soul, the last connection between his soul and body was easily severed.

Then the blue flame penetrated through Dagon's orifices into the depths of his soul.

The false god finally understood what Byron was trying to do, and also figured out why his silly daughter was so devoted to Byron.

Struggling with pain:

"No, no. I am the oldest pure-blooded Bay people in the world. I personally witnessed the glorious era when the Bay people plundered the entire continent. You can't do this to me!"

The essence of the god gave him greater resistance and allowed him to last longer, but it did nothing but cause him more pain.

Soon, a hint of pale blue fire shone from deep in the eye sockets.

Then, the blood-colored divine light burst out from Byron's palm, sweeping across the entire sea in an instant. All of Dagon's body tissues were gathered together again and pieced together into his original body.

During this process, Byron also added the [Elixir] in his body, completed the First Embrace Ritual on him, and completely mastered Dagon's soul and body.

Of course, for a god whose soul and body are no longer clearly distinguished, this is equivalent to mastering both his divine and animal sides at the same time.

Finally, a powerful push pushed Dagon's soul back into his body.

[Abyss Nightmare] Dagon returned to his human form, and after a slight struggle in his eyes, he knelt on one knee with a respectful look, prostrated himself in front of Byron and Violet, and shouted:
"Lord God, Queen of Gods, your servant Dagon presents you with his heart."

He has transformed into Byron's first fifth-level [Wild Hunt Servant] and the first genuine servant god.

Then, riding on ghostly warhorses and surrounded by ghostly fire, the "Wild Hunt" brought the other two gods of youth, Ethon and Thor, who were seriously injured by Dagon, and the god of war, Tiel, who was secretly captured by Byron in advance, to their front, and underwent the same transformation.

The extremely violent fluctuations in fate that had occurred to Dagon and the Deep Sea Church also returned to normal.

Without any disturbance at the level of destiny, it would naturally no longer attract the attention of "History of the Silver Continent". In this remote confrontation with the mastermind, Byron won a small victory.

This nail has been firmly driven into the Old God Church coalition.

"Bring the stuff."

Byron stretched out a hand in front of Dagon, who understood immediately and quickly took off the captain's seal ring on his hand and handed it to him respectfully.

A thin stream of water from the River Styx repeatedly washed and disinfected the key, and when it was completely renewed, it was handed over to Violet.

After hundreds of years, the legendary battleship [Valhalla, the Dragon Head Ship of the Bay People] finally returned to its original owner and returned to the hands of Harold's royal family.

With two legendary warships, the Byron family finally had the capital to firmly control the North Sea and become a maritime power.

Violet also gave Dagon the first mate's seal ring that originally belonged to Jörmungandr, so that he could continue to command the Valhalla without being discovered by a group of cult members and the mastermind behind the scenes.

However, after Byron breathed a sigh of relief, his nerves immediately became tense again.

Although we have now dealt with Dagon, we have gained a great general and a legendary battleship.

He did not forget that there were five or six old god churches behind him, each of which would have at least one false god, and the mysterious man whose name could not even be mentioned.

What's more, we have only seen a glimpse of the "Dragon King's Court Collapse Plan" now. If there are only a few fifth-level false gods, it will definitely not be able to achieve such an influence.

No matter whether it is Protestantism or Orthodoxy, a few saints will make them return empty-handed.

There must be a more irresistible backup plan waiting for them than the false god.

Faced with this confusing situation, Byron would not feel at ease even if his two sisters were successfully promoted to the fifth level, let alone just conquering Dagon.

He now urgently wanted to know what other trump cards their group of old gods relied on in the "Dragon Court Collapse Plan" besides the groups of false gods.

"Mr. Dagon, as the only false god of the Old God Church who has arrived in the Old Continent ahead of schedule, you should have something to say to me, right?

How can you make the Dragon King Court collapse? Is the mysterious man who cannot even be named really so powerful that he cannot even be named? Why do you believe that his plan can succeed? "

The will of the [Abyss Nightmare] has been distorted, from absolute selfishness to everything being based on the interests of Byron, the [King of the Wild Hunt].

Upon hearing the order, he immediately spilled out everything he knew:
"Lord God, in fact, 'the one who cannot even be named' is the one who cannot even be named."

"Ok?"

Did Byron think that his power to rule the "Wild Hunt" was broken? How dare this guy tease him?

Feeling Byron's unfriendly gaze, Dagon's body trembled suddenly, and he quickly slowed down his speech and emphasized it again:
“Lord God, ‘He who must not even be named’ really is called He who must not even be named!”

Byron's forehead veins bulged. Why are you leaving it here?
Just as I was about to raise my fist to punch him, it suddenly occurred to me what he meant.

Just like the secret code that the prisoner says during torture, "I won't tell you even if you kill me", one of the [titles] or [divine names] of the mastermind behind the scenes is actually [the one whose name must not be mentioned]!
There are all kinds of strange titles in this world, and no one has stipulated that a title cannot be so long.

Moreover, according to the principle that the longer the name, the stronger the strength, the other party's [title] is likely to anchor a very hidden secret.

This title naturally has a very high degree of mystery, and it is not easy to catch him.

The other party may have other titles, but they are all overshadowed by this one, achieving the effect of listening to your words as if you were listening to his words alone.

"Ahem, keep going."

Byron patted Dagon's shoulder in a disingenuous manner and told him to continue.

The latter pretended not to see the punch and continued to explain:
“Lord God, in fact, even we, the subordinate gods in charge of various sects, don’t know much about this existence.

Although our unified statement to the lower-level vanguard troops is that the other side is the old gods' followers who came to the Old Continent decades in advance, this is not the case.

He was originally from the Silver Continent.

Unlike us who were teleported to the outer sea by the blue hole and then became a clan, he has never left the Old Continent. I don’t know how many years he has been secretly operating on this continent, and his foundation is very deep.

It is said that the Renaissance movement, which had gradually emerged a hundred years before the beginning of the Age of Discovery and sounded the death knell for the dark millennium rule, was secretly promoted by this mastermind who is unknown how old he is!

He interfered in countless other historical events, and even cooperated with the Old God Church many times to secretly manipulate the course of history.

Including your grandfather Henry V, the Hammer of the Iris, and your ninth-generation ancestor Richard I, the Lionheart, it seems that they were secretly killed by him because they possessed the power to establish an empire and unify the country.

No one has ever seen him face to face, and we don't know where he is hiding.

But just think about it, he has played with the fate of the continent's countries, kings, and even the church through major historical events, and has not been killed by fate until now, you will know how difficult he is.

Some people speculate that behind him may be a complete demigod born after the Silver Age! "

Byron listened to Dagon's description.

Only then did I realize that the [person whose name cannot be mentioned] was actually a traitor who was colluding with the enemy!
Such people hide deeper than the enemy and are more destructive.

Dagon waited for Byron to digest the information before getting to the point:
“The leader of this operation is the Blood Beast Nest that serves [Monster Mother Echidna]. They have a single line of communication with the person whose name cannot be mentioned. We are only responsible for cooperation and are not involved in the core plan.

In order to keep the specific plan confidential, the entire process is controlled by a person whose name cannot be mentioned.

I have not been notified of the execution process and launch time, but we have already reached a consensus on what the goal of the "Dragon Court Collapse Plan" should be.

——Guide the old gods from various families back.

No matter how low the [Corridor of Truth] of the Eastern Continent is, no matter how severe the erosion by the Sea of ​​Element and the various families is, the Silver Continent and the Silver Law are the sealing stone that blocks the gap.

As long as they are still here for one day, the old gods who were exiled outside the world will not be able to return. Therefore, our preparations are for each family to complete the invasion plan step by step.

Finally, with the help of the anchor chain, the bodies of the old gods on the opposite side exerted force at the same time, dragging this sea of ​​collective subconsciousness that separated the continent into the sea of ​​source, and forcibly tearing a gap in the [Silver Law].

The five North Sea countries, and even Iris and the Netherlands, may become swamps.

Then each family will show off their skills and divide the territory.

It will also allow the [Mother of Monsters], who will soon regain consciousness, and the subsequent old gods to reign again in the world."

After hearing his words, the record in the logbook changed again [Secret: Dragon King's Court Collapse Plan, Historical Influence 66,] and the decoding density jumped from 27% to 48%.

[Secret: The fuse of the religious war, historical influence 65] The decoding density jumped from 72% to 79%.

Byron didn’t look at the numbers again. He exchanged glances with Violet, and there was an indelible solemnity in both of their eyes.

“Are they planning to drag the collective subconscious of the five nations of the Gulf into the deep sea and indirectly tear apart the [Silver Law]?
Perhaps they are mainly targeting the church that manages the [Silver Law], but the Taiwanese are the first to bear the brunt, and the disaster of genocide is imminent. "

The goals of the old gods' followers have always been easy to guess, and welcoming the return of the old gods has always been the greatest significance of their existence.

It is difficult to come up with targeted response plans if we don’t know how to implement the specific plan.

Apart from seizing the time to enhance one's own strength, there seems to be no other tricks available at the moment.

The most likely breakthrough points are Violet and Catherine, the two queens who have already reached the critical point and are just one step away from success.

Once a golden triangle of three fifth-order balanced people is formed, at least they should have no problem protecting themselves.

Even if they had to take a step back, they could still retreat to the Holy Golden Empire, preserve the world's largest industrial center and try to make a comeback.

However, the 13 million Taiwanese people who form their core base will completely disappear from the world, and may even be polluted into the source of soldiers for the old gods, who will then stage a wave of looting the world like they did a thousand years ago.

This can probably be considered as "re-emergence in blood and fire", right?

No wonder Dagon is convinced that he is the child of prophecy.

Therefore, as long as there is a possibility, Byron will try his best to defeat them!

Ring ring ring.
At this moment, the internal network was suddenly connected, and a communication from the Holy Silver Empire cheered Byron up.

“My Lord, just now an earthquake occurred in the Faculty of Arts of Florence University, and some of the historic school buildings collapsed, causing more than a dozen casualties.

It’s highly consistent with the location where a meteor suddenly fell from the sky last month!"

Byron had already asked his other [Wild Hunt Servant] August Habsburg to pay close attention to the unusual natural disasters within the Holy Silver Empire.

Especially natural disasters that occur at critical event nodes must not be ignored.

In the past, no one knew of the existence of "the man who must not even be named", and when various natural disasters occurred, no one connected these natural phenomena with him.

In the past, [prophets] generally believed that this was a warning and omen from the [Creator] and the collective subconscious about the drastic changes in human society.

However, when we know that this person exists, it is easy to imagine that it is actually the world itself that is trying to kill this madman who tampered with history!

When Byron looked for evidence of the other party's existence based on this point, he found a lot of clues.

The natural disasters and "omens" that occurred in those critical years are clearly recorded in history books.

For example, before the fall of the Holy City in 1453, obscure poems were widely circulated in the city:
"City of Seven Hills, when the twentieth letter is proclaimed upon your walls, disaster will befall you. Your fall and the destruction of your kings are not far away."

On the eve of the fall of the holy city, there was indeed a partial lunar eclipse in the sky, followed by earthquakes, heavy rains, and hail. What was even more strange was that only half of the holy city was affected, while the other half was unscathed.

It seems like it is precisely striking a specific existence.

There are too many similar examples.

Therefore, Byron felt that as long as he followed the time nodes of a series of major events manipulated by the mastermind, he might be able to catch the other party.

Flutter.
The raven Wuni flapped its wings and flew high, swooping towards Florence at high speed.

“I also have a copy of The Key to Omniscience. I don’t believe that in Florence, where there are so many extraordinary people in the Palace Sequence, anyone can avoid writing on sugarcane residue paper.

If there is any flaw, I will bite you at the first opportunity."

Byron had just come up with this thought when the state of "everything becomes one" that had been stuck at the critical point suddenly broke through the limit of 1%.

The connection with the [Ten Thousand Winged Angel] in the spiritual world has obviously become smoother.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

It seems that I have become one of the corrective forces that the world counterattacks after the other party interferes with fate, a man-made disaster among natural and man-made disasters!
Compared to natural disasters that have limited damage to the fifth-level pseudo-god, man-made disasters are more deadly.

Every cause must have its effect, and I will be your retribution.

I can't help but think:
"If a god is rejected by the collective subconscious of mankind and the entire world, how can he achieve the state of 'all things return to one'?

The person who cannot even be named is a typical example.

On the contrary, if we deal with this kind of world enemy as a part of the world's correcting force, we can borrow the power of heaven and earth, and it will be definitely easier to climb to the realm of "all things return to one" than usual.

At least when erasing "The One Who Must Not Be Named", I was the world's agent to a certain extent!
With the Fate Interception that Lockhart experimented with, and Dagon and the Deep Church as insiders, this battle is still worth fighting."

With the cover of Kalma's military advice, Byron captured Dagon, the Nightmare of the Abyss, and the battle in the cathedral came to an end.

Lockhart swung the heavy flail and smashed Archbishop Pound Elliot's head, ending his former colleague once and for all.

Bang-!
The violent shock wave, mixed with broken bones, blood, and brain matter, rushed out for dozens of meters, painting the sacred murals in the main hall of the cathedral and the silver cross in the center into an ominous bloody color.

It also foreshadows the church's predetermined destiny in this country.

However, after killing people, the group of people couldn't help but look at each other in surprise when they saw the bloody cross and icons in front of them.

Someone said with difficulty:
"Are we desecrating holy relics?"

Although they are reformist Taiwanese, many of them are still worried.

This is not a question of belief or not, but the deterrent power of the Creator as the only God who rules the continent for an entire era.

Lockhart shook off the scalp of his colleague hanging on the flail, and said, "I am proud of my faction, as they have joined the Holy Spirit early on, and I have no respect for the emblem of the Son of God."
“The three kingdoms of Kalmar are destined to convert from Orthodoxy to Protestantism, and the layout and symbols of the churches must all be replaced with the regulations of the Royal State Religion.

I suggest that we start with the diocesan cathedral, Roskilde Cathedral.

According to the teachings of our Lord, this means that the Son of God has died and the Holy Spirit must be established! "

Count Hordalan, who was standing nearby, suddenly became alert upon hearing this, and tore off his shirt, revealing his body covered with beastly tattoos, as well as the "statue" of Byron with open eyes, who was more cruel and fierce than the beasts.

"Look, how about using mine?"

A group of Taiwanese people felt that it was in line with their own aesthetics and agreed with it.

Lockhart took a deep breath, resisting the urge to kill these barbarians together, and let Count Hordalan know what the tattoo taboo is.

You can't even carry such a fierce open-eyed Byron statue!
Thinking it would be bad to kill a new colleague after having just killed an old one, he spared his life.

He took out a "Golden Triangle" holy emblem designed by Byron himself from the storage of rare items and placed it on the original position of the cross.

The final word was given, preserving the aesthetics and dignity of the royal state religion.

A group of Taiwanese barbarians retreated awkwardly and began to clean the entire cathedral.

They have been going out to sea to attack churches along the coast of the mainland for thousands of years. They are all professionals and have not lost their skills until now.

Soon, mountains of wealth and middle and lower-level clergy were all gathered together.

The blood-stained meeting minutes on the table and the scene in the underground palace were so shocking that they wanted to drag out those high-ranking church officials and kill them again.

Under the control of Lockhart, the new Archbishop of Kalmar Diocese, the killing was not expanded. Instead, a copy of "The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" was given to each of the surviving lower-level clergymen and forced conversion began.

"Oh, praise the winged angels, praise Saint Byron!"

Voices of praise continued to ring out in the church.

They all have the inherent attributes of being big liars or small liars, and have a natural fit with Byron.

The one percent of "Everything Becomes One" finally gave him the ability to actively pull people from the "Pantheon".

This time, we must not only eliminate the church sects on a physical level, but also completely eradicate Orthodoxy on a spiritual level.

Use the most direct and violent means to kill the high-ranking members of the church faction, reshape the entire middle and lower levels of the church faction, and establish the Kalmar Royal State Religion based on them.

Lockhart then went to personally take over the crusaders outside the city, and transformed (contaminated) them into Byron's fanatics, and reorganized them into a new armed force called the "Royal Anglican Knights".

With the evidence of collusion between the church's upper echelons and the old gods' followers, even if the Queen of Eternal Night comes back, she will have to admit that Bing Jian was right.

But on the other hand, they will probably continue to support new church sects. In fact, the behavior of political creatures is easier to predict than that of ordinary people.

To be on the safe side, they took action in advance and turned all the domestic reformists, neutrals, churchmen, officials, and the military into Byron's people.

Tomorrow Lockhart will rush back to the [Queen of Eternal Night] and "inspire" the only remaining military force in her hands to join.

Strive to complete a substantive change of regime before the other party returns to his country.

The deceived queen only needs to serve as a mascot when she returns. With loyal ministers like them and the court full of righteousness, the country's prosperity is guaranteed.

however.

At this time, Byron, who had already returned to Ganquan Palace to prepare for the return of the Queen of Eternal Night and the coming of the fourth beast tide, was the first to receive explosive news.

——His sister Catherine, who stayed at home, just laid an egg for him!
