"This is Breath Dial." Bander shook the shell in his hand in front of everyone, "But it will produce strong wind!"

Then, he took out another shell from his pocket and said ostentatiously, "This is Flame Dial, you can see it clearly!"

He held Breath Dial with one hand behind him and a fire shell with the other hand in front of him, and pressed on both shells at the same time.

Suddenly, the wind boosted the fire, and a huge wave of fire spurted upward, and the heat spread.

"Wow~~" Shuma clapped quickly, "Perform one more, perform one more!"

"You know how powerful I am!" Bander changed into a seductive posture and sprayed Breath Dial and the fire shell upwards.

Kaya said in amazement, "Breath Dial and the fire shell are really magical... it can really store wind and fire!"

After the energy of Breath Dial and fire Beli were exhausted, Bander put the two shells back in his pocket, with a trace of pride on his serious face. "Yes, this is Sky Island's specialty, the shell. The shell that can store all energy is the killer weapon of the short sword warrior Bander!!"

"There should be more than just these two kinds of shellfish, right?" Buggy asked aloud.

"Of course, there is Tone Dial." Bander took out another kind of shell, but Shuma couldn't wait to rush forward and said noisily, "I want to play too, I want to play too."

Bander handed Tone Dial over. After all, this kind of shell is not offensive, so it doesn't matter even if it is given to Shuma to play with.

After Shuma took it over, he fumbled around on Tone Dial at a loss. Bander reminded him, "Try talking to Tone Dial."

Shuma put Tone Dial to his lips, "Moses Ingredient is an idiot."

Mohji expressed dissatisfaction. "Why are you talking about me!"

Bander then instructed, "Then you press the button on the top of the shell."

After pressing Shuma, I only heard the same voice coming from Tone Dial, "Moses ingredient is an idiot."

Shuma's eyes widened. "Even shells look down on Moses ingredients!!"

Mohji yelled, "Hey, it's obviously your voice!"

A few people were walking, laughing and playing, and after a while, they came to a house with a flower garden. Bander introduced, "This is my home."

There are decorative clouds floating around this square and plain house. It looks roughly similar to the house on Island Cloud, and there is nothing surprising about it.

Buggy and several others followed Bander and walked into the house. It was very spacious and equipped with refrigerators, cabinets, tables and chairs.

Bander put his pocket bag on the table and breathed a sigh of relief tiredly, "It's getting late today. Everyone, please rest at my house for a day. Wait until tomorrow before we set off again."

Buggy sat down and said, "Wait a minute, I want to know what the three gods you are talking about are about?"

Bander lowered his head slightly, hesitated for a while and said, "This is indeed a place for talking. Since you want to know, I will tell you."

"After the volcanic eruption eight hundred years ago, horny particles like Seastone were ejected into the sky, and combined with ordinary clouds, forming the prototype of Island Cloud everywhere.

That is to say, eight hundred years ago, only "Dawn Village" survived in this Sky Island, which is where we stand now.

Legend has it that the three gods were born from nothingness. At the time of their birth, the entire Dawn Village bloomed with countless brilliance. The countless brilliance catalyzed the formation of Island Cloud everywhere. With the center of Qiming Village as the radiation, a total of three Island Cloud were produced in different directions.

The three gods had wisdom from the beginning of their birth, so they agreed to occupy a piece of Island Cloud as their own territory and not interfere or intrude on each other. This is the origin of the three gods.

Among them, God Nirok represents technology. Take Bei for example. He was the first god to discover the uses of Bei, classify them one by one, and teach everyone how to use them. He then created countless advanced technologies.

The one who represents wisdom and prophet is God Jess, which is her prophecy, so I set out to look for you. She told me that as long as God Nirok is eliminated, everything will return to peace.

The last person who represents bravery is God Plap. Over the past hundreds of years, all the pirates who have committed rampant offenses have died at his hands. He has defeated countless powerful enemies and is the most heroic and skilled among the three gods.

For hundreds of years, the three gods have maintained peace and harmony until a few years ago, God Nirok suddenly declared war on God Jess and God Plap. He wanted to drive away the other two gods through war and completely rule the sky!"

"Eight hundred years, this is really a very subtle number." Buggy remembers that eight hundred years ago, there was a one-hundred-year blank history, just like a book with a page torn out, and no one knew the content anymore.

He also asked in confusion, "Since it can maintain peace for hundreds of years, why would God Nirok launch this war?"

Bander's eyes revealed a trace of hatred. "God Nirok has been corrupted by monsters. He has lost himself in his own greed and desire, and has lost his original intention of benefiting everyone."

"It's really a vague concept..." Buggy shrugged and whispered to Lilina, who was sitting on a chair and drinking black tea but actually listening, "What do you think?"

After all, Lilina is a super capable actor. If there is anything wrong with Bander's words and his expression, Lilina will be able to detect it keenly.

She approached Buggy and whispered back, "He is not lying. Maybe we are really the chosen ones in God's prophecy. Why don't we help him?"

Buggy glanced sideways at Lilina and whispered, "Being predicted by God... you seem very happy?"

"Hehe." Lilina suddenly laughed, his eyes curved into crescent shapes, "Don't you think it's interesting to be predicted by God, and... what we are going to do next is to 'kill God'!"

Her bright smile made Bander across the table look straight in his eyes. He swallowed, lowered his head, quickly pushed the "dagger" on his lower body to the side, turned his head away unnaturally, and murmured in a low voice, "Terrible woman, the dagger warrior has to overcome the temptation from the outside world, I stay calm, stay calm!"

Buggy narrowed his eyes slightly at this time, hiding a hint of cunning in his eyes, "Killing gods... It does sound interesting. I really want to see whether the gods who have survived for hundreds of years really have three heads and six arms..."

He looked up at Bander, "We are going to Crow Forest next, right?"

Bander came back to his senses and nodded quickly, "Yes, please have a good rest at my house today. Wait until tomorrow morning, we will cross Crow Forest. That road can lead directly to God Nirok's territory."

After chatting for a while, everyone was assigned a room in Bander's residence and stayed there temporarily. Buggy gave the notebook on the swordsmanship of the Gale Swordsman that he got from the ship to Cabaji, allowing him to study and ponder it on his own.

It was getting dark, and Buggy lay comfortably on the deck chair made of clouds outside the pavilion, enjoying a moment of tranquility.

The night is as cool as water, and there are few moon stars in the dark blue sky. The faint moonlight pours down, like a light gauze draped over the group of houses.

"You really know how to enjoy it~~"

Buggy, who was lying on the recliner, knew who was coming without looking back. He changed his crossed legs and responded calmly, "What do you want from me?"

"Stop being such a bastard." Lilina sat on another recliner next to him, "I just came to see the moon."

"It seems that your leisurely and elegant style is quite good..." Buggy slowly closed his eyes, feeling a little sleepy.

"It's a bit leisurely and elegant. Although I have been to many places, I have never been to Sky Island. This is a very mysterious place for me." Lilina raised his head and looked at the sky. "Even the moon looks much bigger than Blue Sea... Do you think there are really gods here?"

"While you are doubting, you have already begun to believe." Buggy said calmly, "The so-called gods are, at best, slightly more powerful humans, and the real gods are in the heart."

"What do you mean...?"

"The different standards and bottom lines of what everyone likes and dislikes will also lead to different styles of behavior. This is the influence and control of God in the dark."

After hearing what Buggy said, Lilina fell into deep thought, and finally said suddenly, "You mean, we are all puppets controlled by God in secret, and everything we want to do is actually arranged by God, is that right? Well... what you said is different from what I have heard before, and it makes sense..."

"No..." Buggy stretched out his index finger and tapped it unnaturally on his forehead, "I was just talking casually."

The expression on Lilina's face suddenly stiffened, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly as he looked at Buggy.

"Actually, you are right to think so. If it exists, it is reasonable, but if it is unreasonable, it does not necessarily exist." Buggy yawned, got up and ran away, "I'm going to bed first, you can go to bed early."

Lilina snorted, made a face at Buggy's back, and stuck out his tongue to show dissatisfaction.

When the sun rises, because it is thousands of meters above the ground, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, so it will be very cold at night, but very warm in the morning.

Buggy opened his eyes and stood up from the floor. He felt a little strange. Shuma, Cabaji and Mohji were no longer in the room at this time. How come there was no movement at all when these people got up? Where did they go?

Buggy put on his clothes and walked out of the room. He met Lilina who came out of the room at the same time. The latter also looked at a loss, "Have you seen Kaya and the kitten?"

Hearing Lilina's question, Buggy frowned deeply and felt uneasy in his heart. He quickly searched around Bander's house, shouting the names of several people at the same time.

The alarmed Bander immediately ran out, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Buggy stared at the other party closely. "All my companions are missing, I think you should give me a good explanation!"

"Disappeared..." Bander felt the hostility coming from Buggy and explained with a serious face, "I didn't do this. You guys live in the same room. If I want to do something, you can't be unaware of it. And how could the dagger warrior Bander do something to murder his companions!"

"If you didn't do it, what happened?" Buggy said

"This..." Bander's face became more and more serious, "It should be 'Shen Yin'."

Buggy asked, "Shenyin?"

"After the God Nitro was swallowed up by ambition and desire and launched this war, the phenomenon of 'divine hiding' occurred in this Dawn Village. People who were hidden by the gods would inexplicably appear in another Island Cloud, or in a certain Sea Cloud... God Nitro, this thing should have been caused by him using some means."

Buggy breathed a deep sigh of relief, suppressed the irritability in his heart, and began to think seriously. Bander was the least suspected. If he really had the ability to take away all the Cabaji people under his own eyes, he would not be hunted down by those Fuluo Amisis. And so far, there is no reason for him to do this.

But does this matter have nothing to do with him?

We can't just make such a judgment now. Buggy rolled his eyes and looked at Bander, "In that case, you said it was God Nirok who caused the trouble. Let's go to Crow Forest right away."

Bander knew that there was no room for error and nodded solemnly. "Okay, I'll pack up and set off!"

After saying that, he quickly packed his pocket.

Lilina came up from behind and said with the same nervous expression, "I don't know what happened last night..."

Buggy showed a slight wry smile, "Don't say it's you, even I didn't notice anything strange appearing around me."

"This thing..." Lilina asked doubtfully, "Did the God of Nitro really do it?"

Buggy shook his head. "I don't know. The key is that I don't know why everyone is gone, but you and I will stay here instead of disappearing together."

Hearing Buggy's words, Lilina's eyes suddenly lit up. "So, this 'divine hidden' is not rigid, but selectively left us behind. This means that it is not a natural phenomenon or a disaster phenomenon, but a purposeful control by humans."

"Man-made..." Buggy nodded in agreement, "You're right. If it weren't for the bad timing, you should have received my praise."

Lilina replied, "Not rare!"

The two said goodbye, but their hands were not idle, and they brought some food and fresh water.

Bander, who put a large pile of shells and strange props into his pocket, clapped his hands, then held the short knife at his waist with his right hand and said righteously, "Let's go!"

"Let's go. It seems we can only place our hope on him now..." Buggy said calmly, "However, I believe that my crew members are all safe now!"
