Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

The clanging sounds continued to be heard here, and the sounds of swords and gunpowder bullets ejected continued to echo here.

Some people died and some were injured.

Although Peroz and Hogot were very powerful, they seemed a little overwhelmed under the siege.

Although this is the only place on the island that is not made of gold, the people guarding it cannot use the power of the land and trees to launch a sneak attack on them.

However, the items they carry and the golden clouds in the sky intertwined with the thunderclouds are their most powerful weapons.

"You are no match for me..." Finks pointed his sword at James who was lying on the ground.

Even though he had gained new powers, he was still too immature when facing Phinks.

"Hehe... Even if you kill me, so what? The Holy Father will avenge us..." James said with a grim face.

Finks opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He slowly raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it hard at his heart.

However, his sword encountered a slight resistance through the linen clothes.

A heart-shaped pocket watch appeared on the tip of his sword.

His hand trembled, the pocket watch fell to the ground, and a beautiful figure appeared in his eyes.

"Can you please not leave... I really don't want to be away from you for too long..." Karina, newlyweds, said with some reluctance as she looked at Finks standing at the harbor.

"I'm the captain. How can I not be there after we set sail?" Finks hugged Karina and kissed the tip of her ear. "Although I can't stay, I can take you to experience the vastness of the ocean."

"No... There can't be women on a sailing ship. It will be cursed by the sea and the crew won't agree." Karina was a little tempted, but still rejected him.

"I am the captain, and I have the final say." After saying this, under her coquettish gaze, Finks picked her up by the waist and strode towards the Black Flag.

"Doctor! Damn it, think of a solution for me!" Finks grabbed the doctor's collar and roared loudly.

"Captain... there is no cure for the Siren's curse... we don't have any extraordinary people on board who can control them..." The ship's doctor turned his head away from Finks, who was already in tears, but finally gritted his teeth and told him what he already knew.

"First mate! Set sail! Return to White Spot Port as quickly as possible!"

Too late...

Scott urged the crew loudly while speaking silently in his heart.

Finally, when they were three days away from White Spot Port, his wife left him forever.

"Take care...James..."

These were her last words to Finks.

Huge golden waves continued to rise, and half of the newly bought boat was destroyed.

James, who was trying hard to pull the sail, was suddenly hit by a small wave and thrown into the water.

"Save me...Captain..."

he shouted.

Looking at the masked man standing on the crest of the wave, looking at the crew members on the boat who were exhausted and unable to fight.

"Don't stop! Keep going!"

Blood stained his collar. After giving the final order, his body went limp, his vision went dark, and he fainted on the boat.

Before he fainted, he vaguely heard, "Dad...save me...I don't want to die..."

Faintly, he seemed to see Karina's resentful gaze.

Countless memories flooded into his mind in an instant.

If he just thrust the tip of the sword forward lightly, he would be able to complete his mission and free James completely.

But the sword could not penetrate no matter what.

Nourishes—

Blood spurted out, and James, lying on the ground, turned his hands into sharp blades and stabbed them straight into Finks' abdomen when he was distracted.

Stab it...move!

Finks was roaring in his heart, but the sword in his hand fell weakly and then spread to the ground.

"Uncle Finks!" Peroz, who was standing aside, saw Finks's appearance, abandoned the enemy on the side, took out his weapon and rushed towards James.

A huge golden wave hit her and knocked her to the ground. She suffered multiple fractures and internal injuries and was unable to stand up again.

"One person is missing..." A figure fell from the sky and looked at Finks and Peroz lying on the ground. He asked calmly.

"Holy Father... Please forgive me, that guy abandoned his compatriots and left at the beginning of the battle."

Everyone knelt on the ground, and then the leader James said tremblingly.

"Don't be afraid, my child. There are already enough "holy children" to keep us from being troubled by hunger for a long time." He flew to James' side, bent down slightly, and touched his forehead. However, his eyes were fixed on the scattered corpses of cannibals behind him.

"I won't commit any unnecessary killings."

"Invite them to the temple, and remember to treat them well. Don't let them die. Fresh ones are better than corrupt ones after all." After saying these words, the "Holy Father" flew up again and prepared to leave.

"Is this the final resting place of the Pure White God? Is the Black Ocean sealed here?" Peroz, who was lying on the ground, suddenly asked loudly.

At the same time, she endured the pain and placed one hand in her arms, where a lighter was placed.

A "gift" from Charles to her.

-

Section 54 Chapter 54 Mother Earth...Is that you?

Finks' choice and Hogot's departure brought the situation to its worst point.

If she doesn't do something, she'll probably be killed or turned into a monster.

Under such pressure, Peroz's mind was unusually clear.

In a nearly desperate situation, she still had a trump card to play - a unilateral way of contacting him given to her by Charles.

If it can be proven that the "Black Ocean" is sealed here, then Peroz will have a legitimate reason to summon Charles.

In exchange, he would probably be happy to rescue her.

But if this cannot be proven, then rashly summoning Charles may have good results, but it may also make things worse.

Deceiving a transcendent who is far more powerful than yourself is a very dangerous thing.

So before the real death comes, she wants to try to find out the truth and use the truth to protect herself.

"Black Ocean? Are you here for that thing?" The Holy Father's voice was a little surprised, and then he slowly walked to Peroz's side.

"What a coincidence... About three hundred years ago, I had the same goal in mind."

"But to this day, I can't confirm whether that thing is here."

"If you had come two hundred years earlier, I might have spared you. But now, everything I have belongs to my God."

"And your choices and actions are a blasphemy to my faith."

"After the Holy Sons have provided us with satisfaction, I can take the lead in clearing you of your sins."

"If you are pure enough, perhaps you can follow my God and rush towards eternal glory."

"The White God is dead." Peroz said loudly.

"You don't understand anything..." he said in a mocking voice.

hateful...

Not getting the information he wanted, Peroz was still a little conflicted about whether to use that thing directly.

What she didn't know was that even if she turned on the lighter and lit the bonfire at this time, Charles might not have time to come here.

Since entering this era, Charles Rocks' mood has experienced two major ups and downs.

One time was when he confirmed that he had arrived in a world tens of thousands of years later.

The other time is now.

Moroston Royal College, Department of Ancient Languages, the first class meeting of each major after freshmen enter.

As a lecturer who also serves as a part-time tutor and student advisor, according to the division of the college, he will be responsible for the life and studies of fifty-three students in the next year or even longer.

This was not a new experience for him.

In his time, before becoming the high priest, he worked as a lecturer in the church school for a period of time, responsible for preaching the doctrine.

After becoming a priest, he also made some suggestions to the church's higher-ups on education reform based on the situation at the time.

These recommendations evolved into the current education system.

To put it bluntly, university student advisors and mentors are the counselors and class teachers in the previous life's university.

The head teacher is better, as he only needs to be responsible for academic matters.

But the counselor...

He clearly came here to enjoy life, why did it turn out like this?

On the podium, looking at the scattered students below the stage, Charles complained in his heart while motioning them to come up to the stage one by one to introduce themselves.

The front was fine, everything went smoothly without any accidents.

But after that.

"My name is...Mernade...I don't believe in any gods. My hobby is learning about some history that I don't know..."

A girl wearing tattered clothes, with messy hair and always keeping her head down when speaking appeared on the podium.

Because of her name, Charles, who was in a daze, turned his attention to her.

He planned to discuss the name change with her after the class meeting.

But when his eyes fell on her cheek, Charles' whole body froze.

Mother Goddess is above...

Mother Earth..is that you?

Almost out of habit, Charles crossed his hands on his chest and was about to pray.

Although he had only seen this face a few times, it had already been engraved in his heart.

picture...

They are so similar...

For a moment, Charles thought about moving everyone out of the classroom and asking all the questions that were in his mind.

But feeling the ordinary body in front of him without a trace of magic power, he fell into deep thought again.

Is it a coincidence... or...

The name is the same, the appearance is the same, even the tone of voice and the habit of lowering the head are very similar to the Mother Goddess.

This is no longer a simple coincidence.

but...

Ciel couldn't feel the power contained in her body.

Not to mention strength, even Charles couldn't sense a trace of supernatural power from her.

Incarnation?

This kind of thought appeared in his mind.

But what is the purpose of an ordinary avatar with no power at all?

Countless doubts crowded into his mind, and for a moment he felt like he had a splitting headache.

He couldn't be sure if the person before him was related to the Mother Goddess, nor could he be sure of the Mother Goddess's current condition, or even if he should contact her...

"Rocks...?" As he tried to clear his mind and think about what he should do.

Theresa on the side looked at Charles strangely.

The self-introductions were over, and there was still much work to do. But Ciel seemed to have forgotten all of this, standing there in a daze, as if possessed.

"Theresa... Is there something wrong?" Charles looked at Theresa blankly. Although he responded to her with his mouth, the figure of Mernadè was all in his mind.

"The self-introduction session is over. It's your turn, Rocks, to speak and introduce some things about the school." Teresa said seriously.
