The rampaging lightning forced Hector back. Hector sighed, "Are all people in the future so foul-mouthed?"
"Don't block me if you're weak!"
Bai Ming's roar echoed through the sky. Hector only heard the sound of wind, and a sense of crisis enveloped him. His intuition, honed in battle, made him raise his spear to block his chest. The next moment, his spear received a violent impact, bending sharply. Even he himself was forced to hunch over, sent flying by the brutal impact. Bai Ming, without even looking, threw the halberd in his hand. Hector spat out a mouthful of blood and desperately swung his spear, knocking away the halberd Bai Ming threw.
He himself then fell into the distant sea due to the impact of the battle halberd.
Afterward, Bai Ming continued towards Anne and Mary. Anne reacted before Mary, firing several shots at Bai Ming. Bai Ming didn't dodge; as the bullets approached, they lost their momentum in the dense golden light surrounding Bai Ming.
Seeing Mary still struggling to move, Anne became anxious.
Anne was Irish. Bai Ming hadn't ravaged Ireland much during his simulations, so Anne's fear of Joslyn wasn't that deep. However, Mary was a true Englishwoman.
Joslyn's legend was something she'd heard since childhood – tales of disobedient children being captured and forced into labor by Joslyn Brandou, or families of wrongdoers being wiped out by Joslyn Brandou. Some even formed an assassin organization named after Brandou, specializing in killing unjust nobles or bullies in the style of Joslyn.
Although historical records stated that Joslyn died alongside King Arthur, and Mary no longer believed in Joslyn legends, what she witnessed today filled her with dread. He had single-handedly charged into enemy lines, blocked Hector's spear, severely injured someone with a punch, and sent a legendary hero flying.
Perhaps the Blood Axe King from before was also killed by an enraged Joslyn.
Joslyn wasn't dead at all! The historical records were fake! Joslyn had really come to kill her!
Fear spread through Mary's heart. Mary had forgotten that she and Anne were summoned together; if one was defeated, the other would also lose their combat ability. All she felt was the fear of Joslyn.
"My gunshots, my glory! We are called Freedom! Let us hunt our prey with the speed of a falcon!" Anne began to chant alone. "Wings of the same tree, bound by the same root!"
This was the Noble Phantasm that materialized the legends of Anne and Mary, their final stand before their capture, fighting surrounded by countless soldiers. The more disadvantageous the situation, the more favorable the damage they could inflict. However, due to Mary's loss of fighting spirit, Anne could only unleash half of its power.
Bai Ming still didn't dodge or evade. He directly threw the Jade Purity Supreme Brick, which had no use other than hardness and weight, at Anne's Noble Phantasm's gunfire.
The brick directly blocked the gunshots.
After throwing the brick, Bai Ming was already charging, instantly appearing before Anne. He crushed the gun in Anne's hand and grabbed Anne Bonny, who was a full 1.71 meters tall, smashing her directly onto the ground. Anne Bonny heard her bones crack, blood spurted out, and then Bai Ming grabbed her hair, dragging Anne towards Mary.
Anne could only let out painful cries due to the pain in her body and scalp.
The man then said coldly, "My name is Bai Ming, also known as Joslyn, Joslyn Brandou. I am the strongest one who ended Britain's Age of Gods, killed Britain's White Dragon and Red Dragon, and the Master who saved humanity and reclaimed those worthy of existence – you insignificant, blocking sow-like mongrels..."
Mary looked blankly at the tall, heroic man. The half-dead Anne now made it difficult for her to resist.
"Duke Joslyn, I—"
As soon as Mary spoke, Bai Ming grabbed Anne's head and used Anne as a weapon, smashing Mary away. Both of them fell heavily next to Blackbeard, who had already been stomped into an unrecognizable shape by Asterius. Bai Ming walked towards them step by step.
"I don't want to hear any nonsensical explanations from you, you lowly beast. You just need to understand that you chose your path, and death is your own doing!"
Then Bai Ming punched, and the heads of Anne and Mary were smashed. Their bodies then completely turned into spiritrons, disappearing into the Singularity.
On the deck of the Golden Hind, Mash stared at Bai Ming's words and actions, meticulously analyzing and learning from his speech and behavior. Euryale beside her sighed, "Is that the legendary 'violent aesthetic'? Speaking of which, your senior is completely a lunatic of Chaotic Neutral alignment, isn't he? And that man's previous demeanor, I always thought he was someone who was just sharp-tongued but kind-hearted—"
Drake smacked her lips repeatedly. She had previously thought Bai Ming was someone who wouldn't use coarse language, but now it seemed... this wild and powerful man was truly to her liking.
But what was this sense of crisis?
Drake immediately drew her gun and fired at the place where she felt the crisis. The collision of bullets and metal rang out.
"So vigilant."
The relaxed Euryale had a cold gun tip pressed against her lower back.
"That man is really strong—Oh my—Uncle has been sailing for so long, and while you were all in chaos, I finally stole Teach's Holy Grail. Then I climbed up from the other side and caught my real target. Hey, brave young man over there, can you stop? Your people are in my hands?"
Hector, holding Euryale hostage, walked to the side of the ship. Bai Ming looked at Hector, who had boarded the Golden Hind, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "How can you be sure I didn't deliberately let you, an old beast hindering the restoration of human history, go just to confirm how many unworthy beasts obstructing the restoration of human history there are?"
Hector dared not leave for a moment and asked sternly, "Young man... what exactly do you want to do?"
"When I do things, I don't look at the process, only the result. Anyway, human history has already been incinerated. As long as these few foundational points are fine and history develops normally, that's all that matters, right? So, I don't care who the core of you trash Heroic Spirits obstructing my saving of human history and humanity is."
Bai Ming walked step by step from the Queen Anne's Revenge back to the Golden Hind, his head swaying. He took out a very delicate mechanism resembling a button machine and said arrogantly:
"You can try it. You can take that useless goddess directly, or you can take the Holy Grail. But I guarantee that the moment you take her, everything in Ancient Greece, including you, will be invaded by extraterrestrial high-dimensional life forms.
At that time, all life in the universe will be in crisis, and the entire Earth, the entire human race, will become public enemies of the universe. And the one who caused all this will be you, the great hero of the Trojan War. Do you want to gamble? To see if you become a great hero to the person pulling your leash from behind you, or a villain to all life in the universe? I can't guarantee that other life forms won't have ways to invade the Throne of Heroes and torture you—
For example, changing your heroic deeds recorded on the Boundary Record (Throne of Heroes) to something like 'During the Trojan War, Hector was subjected to continuous greetings from Agathos and countless soldiers from behind,' and then hacking back into reality."
"Madman."
Hector dared not gamble. Even if 99.99% of Bai Ming's words were false, he dared not gamble on that 0.01%.
Bai Ming walked step by step towards Hector. "If you move, I'll directly call the extraterrestrial life forms. But you're right, I am a madman. Can you bite me to death? A impotent middle-aged man who needs to hold a little girl hostage? Anyone with the name Brandou will stop at nothing. Mad? That's a compliment. So, put down the Holy Grail, let go of that little dwarf, and then commit suicide. Make a dignified exit."
As Bai Ming approached, Hector felt increasingly uneasy, but he still said with a relaxed expression, "Young man, aren't you afraid I'll kill her on the spot?"
"Then kill her? It's your master behind you, old dog, who needs her alive, not me."
Bai Ming's finger was already on the button mechanism. Hector suddenly pushed Euryale towards Bai Ming and threw away his weapon.
Active in the 12th century BC, he had heard about the Greek gods and outsiders. Coupled with the occasional discovery of drifting objects from within and outside the universe on Earth, Hector dared not gamble that Bai Ming would add fuel to the fire in the current state of human history's incineration.
The other party seemed like a complete madman. If he lost the gamble, everything would be over.
"Sigh, I surrender."
Bai Ming kicked the pushed Euryale away, directly discarded the delicate mechanism in his hand, and then smashed Hector's limbs. Hector gritted his teeth and made no sound. "Now report your master's breed of beast, then take me there, or I'll let you experience the feeling of a sea fish biting off your d*ck."
Seeing Euryale safe, Asterius boarded the Golden Hind and stomped on Hector's face.
The little bull's idea was simple: stomp on his face with his foot, feels good!
Chapter 67: Mash, Who Was Led Astray
Since Bai Ming wanted to keep Hector, Asterius didn't continuously stomp on him. After one kick, he sat on the edge of the Golden Hind, on guard.
"So—"
Euryale clutched her chest where Bai Ming had kicked her and picked up the intricate mechanism Bai Ming had discarded. "What is this?"
Mash took the intricate mechanism from Euryale. "It's a portable magecraft workshop Da Vinci-chan made for senpai. It's good enough to fool people who don't know any better."
Bai Ming glanced at Mash and said coldly, "Mash, go back and train harder. You didn't even know they were already here."
"Yes! Senpai!"
Mash lowered her head. It was true, senpai was too reliable, which had made her too relaxed.
"Now, Captain Drake, give the order. Head in the direction this useless middle-aged Trojan said. If anything goes wrong, just pull down his pants and hang him behind us, using his J as bait. I imagine his J doesn't have the power to pierce through everything."
"Are you Trojan vulgarity insane?" Hector's composure finally broke.
Bai Ming muttered, "Which magus is truly sane? I'm just within the normal range for a magus," and left the deck to rest.
After Bai Ming left, Mash said to Hector with a hint of glee, "You're the insane one."
The strange feeling of cursing spread like an ink drop on white paper. Mash felt like she had opened a new door. Then she spoke again, "You, who could fight the unbeatable Argus for the survival of your country, are now like a beast blocking the path of human history restoration. Someone like you is more stinking and unbearable than trash."
Euryale on the side had a subtle expression, her mouth twitching. A pure maiden had fallen!
Hector could only remain silent. It was truly easy to learn bad habits and hard to learn good ones. What a pity for the elders who raised this pure maiden.
Time flowed by, and the Golden Hind soon encountered the Argo.
The frivolous blonde man on the Argo shouted, "You actually delivered the Holy Grail to me! Wonderful! Once I defeat you and get the Holy Grail, then I'll get the Ark of the Covenant, and I can become the king of these four seas!"
Bai Ming came out of the cabin and looked at the man on the Argo. He glanced at Asterius, and the little bull immediately stomped on Hector's face. Bai Ming said, "How pathetic. Your master doesn't care about you, you dog."
Then Bai Ming looked at the blonde man on the Argo. "Next to him is the magus Medea Lily. That means you, the blonde Teddy bear, are Jason—You say you want to be king!"
The clear sky suddenly turned gloomy, and thunder rumbled.
Medea Lily, standing beside Jason, had a solemn expression. A Divine Era magus formed a contract with a deity, thereby gaining the right to exercise some of the deity's powers. The power displayed by the man before him had surpassed most Divine Era magi and most demigods.
"Answer me, you nonsensical Teddy bear."
"That's right!" Jason shouted. "You evil legions aiming to correct the world, and us heroes who are dedicated to maintaining the normal order of the world, let's make a decision here! I will defeat you and become the king of these four seas!"
The next moment, Medea Lily, standing beside Jason, released all her magic to form a shield, confronting the thick lightning bolts that fell from the sky.
Bai Ming's voice echoed through the wind and thunder, flying towards the Argo. Bai Ming, who had intended to punch Medea Lily to death, was blocked by another Berserker at this moment. His name was Heracles. Bai Ming and Heracles exchanged two powerful punches, then Asterius roared and stomped another hole in the Golden Hind, leaping directly onto the Argo and engaging Heracles in a fierce battle.
"You nonsensical group of beasts who obstruct humanity's recovery of its future. Since you call us evil legions, you should be prepared, right? Mash, this is Joslin's second lesson, watch closely."
Bai Ming formed a hand seal, and his mount, the five-tailed Pénghóu, turned into a stream of light and fled. Without Bai Ming needing to say anything, the Pénghóu began to absorb the abundant natural elements in the environment and then helped Asterius fight Heracles. Afterward, it moved towards Medea Lily, who was under the raging lightning. Jason immediately sensed something was wrong and blocked Bai Ming, attacking him.
Bai Ming directly grabbed Jason's wrist, and the sound of bone shattering was heard. Jason let out a scream, and Bai Ming, with a terrifying A++ power, kicked Jason's bone and broke it. He said coldly, "Dog, you call me evil, so you should be prepared to welcome evil. Experience the so-called mythological fertility worship, and you will be used by men through your rear end a thousand times, completely turning into a promiscuous sow—or rather, a boar, go be your gay king!"
Then he grabbed Jason and threw him towards the Golden Hind, where he landed heavily on the deck.
The Golden Hind and the Argo began to engage in boarding combat. Mash thought for a moment, then smashed the defenseless Hector to death with her shield before charging towards the Argo.
Drake sighed and took out her Holy Grail, fulfilling Bai Ming's wish. She wished for three hundred muscular muscleheads who liked Jason, and excitedly exclaimed, "Bai Ming, you will definitely become an excellent pirate!"
Then she fired several shots, killing the Dragon Tooth soldiers that Medea Lily had prepared earlier.
Bai Ming, meanwhile, watched Medea Lily, who was sweating profusely, from outside Medea Lily's magic shield. He read aloud in a monotone, "Keep going~ Keep going. Seeing you beasts makes me very angry. Please me in my hands, and if I'm happy, maybe I'll give you a quick death. If you make me feel ecstatic, maybe I'll let you live."
"You man—"
Medea Lily gritted her teeth upon hearing Bai Ming's vulgar words. Bai Ming smiled, "Didn't you say I was evil? I'm a petty person, so I usually get revenge on the spot."
As his voice fell, the lightning disappeared. Medea Lily's ability to chant magecraft with High-Speed Divine Words couldn't match Bai Ming's full-power speed and strength. In an instant, Bai Ming snatched the staff from Medea Lily's hand and smashed her head onto the ground.
Medea Lily's mind went blank, then the intense pain brought her consciousness back. Her mouth was stuffed with something, and her limbs were all broken by the man. She was thrown back onto the Golden Hind. Medea Lily, still in the air, was smashed to the ground by Mash with her large shield, and then quickly tied up.
Mash meticulously studied Bai Ming's methods of operation.
Regardless of gender, they were all crippled equally; during battle, they used trash talk to harass, but stopped after the battle ended; those who were verbally abusive were executed, while the innocent were simply killed or restrained for questioning.
The tacit understanding between Master and Servant was displayed in a subtle way at this moment. Mash's degree of "Bai Ming-ization" increased.
Then Mash watched the three hundred mighty warriors battle the crippled Jason. Although she felt embarrassed and somewhat physically uncomfortable, her curiosity for novel things still overcame her instincts.
"Um, senpai, perhaps we should stop."
"Is that your own thought, or did Galahad tell you that from his Spirit Origin?"
"Personally, I don't really want senpai to do this. After all, only Jason called you evil, and he only said it verbally."
Mash squatted down and said, "But this suggestion was made by Mr. Galahad. He said it goes against chivalric code."
"What kind of bullshit chivalric code are you talking about on the battlefield? I haven't even settled the score with you for your disloyalty to King Arthur and choosing death after obtaining the Holy Grail. Where is your chivalric loyalty? Galahad, if you dare to manifest alone, I guarantee you, junior, will receive the same treatment as this Jason."
"Sen... Senpai?! Mr. Galahad ran away after giving me his Spirit Origin, combat experience, and Noble Phantasms!"
Mash was greatly shocked.
Chapter 68: The Hasty End of Okeanos
"It's normal for him to run away. Apart from Lord Tristan, any of the Knights of the Round Table who have met me have all been intimidated."
After all, Bai Ming always kept his word, often shouting, "To hear the Way in the morning and die in the evening is enough!" before going to beat up any knight who annoyed him into being unable to get out of bed or even leave their house by evening.
The man looked at the scene of Asterius and Heracles clashing, waved his hand to recall the five-tailed Pénghóu, who had been absorbing natural elements on the sidelines and couldn't participate at all, and then took off his clothes, handing them to a blushing Mash.
His muscular body was thus exposed to the air.
"Mash, go and strip all the magical materials from that woman, then kill her. Don't give her a chance to speak. I'll check the materials when I get back—remember to take everything off the captive first. If the situation is appropriate, strip her completely to prevent her from hiding any hidden weapons. Honestly, even places like her private parts should be checked. After all, you can't be sure these mages won't hide traps in their 'B-points'."
Bai Ming walked step by step towards the two massive muscle-bound figures in their passionate clash. "I can't miss this kind of collision. Heracles, I will grant you an exit befitting a warrior here. Olga, don't give me any healing, don't tarnish a warrior's glory."
Olga Marie: "...There's nothing I can do with you."
The next moment, three muscle-bound men engaged in a fierce collision on the Argo.
"Ughhhhhhh!"
"Roar—!"
"Wryyyyyy!"
The moment the three muscle-bound men's eyes met, they seemed to forget something, letting out their unique roars before crashing into each other indiscriminately, thus beginning a free-for-all.
Attacks landed on each other continuously—without any magic, without any technique, all three were simply beating each other with pure strength.
With fists, feet, even elbows, knees, and foreheads.
Every limb and organ that could be used became a potent weapon for the three as they beat each other.
Bai Ming landed an elbow on Heracles's face, Heracles kicked Asterius, and Asterius headbutted Bai Ming.
The entire Argo shook violently because of this, but the muscle-bound men paid no mind to the violently swaying ship, their minds occupied only with continuously beating the opponent, forcing them to their knees, forcing them to submit.
Meanwhile, on the Golden Hind, Jason, whose limbs had been broken, was being stared down by the three hundred warriors summoned by Drake using the Holy Grail. Though tall, Jason wasn't exactly burly, but as the hero of ancient Greek mythology who sailed the Argo to retrieve the Golden Fleece, being stared at by three hundred warriors was fitting for his heroic name.
Jason had never felt such misery—in his abstract state, he was filled with immense regret. Why had he spoken of justice and evil to that man who looked so abnormal? Why had he wanted to be the king of the four seas?
