Lorry's plan
Lorry turned to the Dark Gold page depicting the image of a middle-aged man, reached out and covered it, reconstructing the Illusions's appearance once more.
In the blink of an eye, it transforms into a lifelike image of "Flower Bow Tie" Jodson.
After completing all this, he kept his palm on it, maintaining the "flight" of the "Wind-blessed" while continuing to infuse it with Spirituality.
Taking a moment to look back, Lorry glanced at the "Death Announcer" rapidly closing the distance and knew that he could only buy himself a maximum of three more minutes.
Within three minutes, "Death Announcer" will definitely catch up.
However, my objective has been achieved... The time I've given the "Golden Dream" has been enough for it to fly a considerable distance, and the "Death Announcer" can no longer catch up. I'll deal with the trouble I caused myself; I can't always let others pay the price...
With this thought in mind, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and began to repeatedly consider whether there were any oversights in the arrangements for this matter.
In fact, according to Lorry's original plan, if it really came to the last resort, he would move the entire "Golden Dream" to another Dimension.
With his current Spirituality, and with the cooperation of all the crew members, he could barely manage to do this by consuming a few more "Spirituality Restoration" Charm.
However, the follow-up work will be quite troublesome.
Even with Notarization guaranteeing the Pirate wouldn't reveal the matter, or using Hypnosis to make them forget the experience, there was still a certain risk. But there was nothing that could be done about it.
After all, they had been colleagues for so long; he couldn't just stand by and watch them die.
However, when Lorry and "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina discussed what the "King of Immortality" might covet, Rory subconsciously glanced at his valuables and, on a whim, changed his plan.
First, items below the Demigod level can be directly eliminated.
They were clearly not worth the "King of Immortality" mobilizing so much power, even at the risk of offending the Church of the True God, to forcibly obtain.
Even above the Demigod, he didn't actually have many.
The "Book of Dimensions" is clearly not a gift from Evil God.
The power of the Evernight Goddess remains within the "Parasite" ring, which even Amon cannot sense, let alone Agalito.
The "Calamity Bracelet" and the "Book of Calamities" originate from "Calamity Queen" Cohinem, belong to the "Sailor" Pathway, and cannot be combined with the "Devil" Pathway.
"God's Murmurings" is even less likely.
Its original form was just an ordinary yet extraordinary object; it was only after being contaminated by the Mental Pollution of the "True Creator" that it transformed into Demigod.
Therefore, after much thought, the "Abyss" card was the only possibility. Lost in thought, a smile crept onto Lorry's lips as he murmured to himself:
"Logically, I could Teleportation away at this point, but considering the request from the ' Hermit ' lady and my need to play the role of the ' Fire Thief ' in advance, I can only ask this Pirate King to make do."
"Hehe, I hope he won't mind."
--Lorry initially planned to repeatedly Stealing the Mental Pollution of the "True Creator" from the "God's Murmurings" in order to play the role in advance.
However, the divination results told him that this would likely result in the loss of this extraordinary item, which was of Demigod level, so he had no choice but to think of another way.
Therefore, Lorry set his sights on the "Calamity Bracelet," which also possessed a relatively high status and contained more than ten drops of the blood of the "Calamity Queen," Cohinem.
Just when they were lacking test subjects, the "King of Immortality" Agalito arrived.
Time passed by, second by second.
Soon, the enormous black object came into clear view of Lorry once again.
Countless air currents vibrated, and within a radius of several hundred meters, the somber, hoarse voice of the "King of Immortality" Agalito resounded simultaneously:
"Jodson with the Flower Bow Tie?"
Lorry stopped flying forward, looked back, and met the legendary Pirate King's gaze from afar. He smiled brightly and nodded, saying:
Good evening, gentlemen.
Welcome everyone to my home turf.
Meanwhile, on the route to Norgar Island.
Having confirmed that the situation was safe, "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina looked around and saw that most of her Beyonder were already showing signs of fatigue. Without hesitation, she steered the "Golden Dream" to begin its descent.
"Thump!"
Although it cannot be compared to the "Death Announcer," the "Golden Dream," with its tens of meters of length, is still a behemoth.
It landed steadily on the sea surface, creating waves that were over ten meters high.
Many unlucky Pirate were soaked to the bone, which made their companions laugh. Some of them cursed back, which only attracted more ridicule and mockery.
Several hot-tempered guys had even started rolling up their sleeves.
The higher-ups on the "Golden Dream" did not stop them from witnessing this scene; after all, having survived a disaster, it was only natural for them to want to vent their emotions.
Fourth Sailor-in-Charge Danitz glanced around, his brow furrowing slightly. He squinted, scrutinizing the area again with disbelief, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Captain, where's that Jodson fellow?"
Everyone was taken aback by these words and quickly looked around. They discovered that one person was indeed missing from the ship, and all turned to look at "Vice Admiral Iceberg".
--They were under the negative influence of that Mystical Item with the "Hypnotist" attribute, and no one noticed where their companion had gone.
Edwina spoke calmly:
"Don't bother looking, he's not on the ship."
"If he hadn't lured away the ' King of Immortality ' and the ' Death Announcer,' do you think Agalito, with his determination, would have let us leave so easily?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air fell silent. The relaxed atmosphere near the ship's wheel vanished, and everyone's face became solemn.
Danitz opened his mouth and then closed it again, opening and closing it repeatedly, hesitatingly saying:
"That, Captain, he..."
"I said, Jodson, will you even come back alive?"
As he said this, he looked quite bewildered, and he also felt uneasy.
This bastard—no, I never expected this guy to be willing to sacrifice himself for everyone's safety... I used to always curse him behind his back... Including this time, he's saved me twice... I deserve to die... Danitz thought to himself with self-reproach, suddenly feeling a lump in his throat.
The others remained silent, but their somber expressions spoke volumes.
Edwina rarely showed any emotional fluctuation, and said irritably:
What are you thinking about all day?
"If he wasn't confident, how could he have volunteered to do this?"
These words shocked everyone, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
"Gourmet" Bru Wall, "Singer" Orpheus, "Bucket," "Flames," "Tinplate," and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the lingering bewilderment in each other's eyes:
Sequence 6 is confident he can lure away the "King of Immortality" and his "Death Announcer," and even guarantee his own safe return? Is the captain kidding us?
While it's good that Jodson is alive, how could such a thing be possible?!
On the deck of the "Death Announcer".
Agalito, the "King of Immortality," whose skin was so pale it seemed he might rot at any moment, remained silent. Kircheis, the "Slayer," couldn't help but sneer, "Your home turf?"
"Even if the other three kings came, they wouldn't dare say such a thing, yet you alone..."
Before he could finish speaking, his neck was suddenly gripped, and he abruptly stopped talking, staring wide-eyed at his colleagues and the captain.
"Malice Perception" is issuing a frantic warning!
