The source of goodwill

"Mr. Klein, do you still want to participate in the other battles on this ship?" the lieutenant asked, looking at the mess on the ship.

To be fair, the adjutant hoped he would lend a hand, since they were all elite Warrior, and it would be heartbreaking to see them get hurt.

Kronos saw through his adjutant's thoughts, smiled slightly, and then Yodsen, who was standing next to him, darted out.

The time of the Decree had long since passed, Yodsen was now able to use his ability to steal, so he moved around the crowd with ease.

"Mr. Klein, what should I say to the General about this Yodsen?" The adjutant was trying to extend Goodwill to Kronos.

"My comrade, I have killed Yodsen. He was just one of my Marionette and poses no threat to anyone anymore. I can tell you the truth about this, but I would like to ask that you withhold some information when you Your Excellency Record. After all, it was one of my methods."

The adjutant smiled. "This matter requires the General's approval, but I believe His Your Excellency will be understanding and agree. As for the rest of the squad, I will instruct them not to disclose it to anyone."

"Then thank you, Adjutant and General."

Just as Yodsen was rampaging through the crowd, the negative effects of the Marionette Illustrated Compendium had already Descent Kronos.

Kronos felt as if his body was no longer under his control. He couldn't lift his arms or legs, and even moving a finger felt incredibly difficult. The Lucky One Cane that he was holding fell to the ground.

The adjutant beside Kronos immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "Mr. Klein, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

Kronos gave a wry smile, "It's alright, Lieutenant. The negative effects of Beyonder Item will dissipate in a moment."

The downside of the Marionette Illustrated Compendium is that it causes a ten-minute stagnation state after use. This stagnation doesn't just occur during use; if Kronos later adds Yodsen to the compendium, this state will occur every time it's taken out and used.

Kronos had initially thought it would just be some troublesome restraints, but he never expected it to have such a huge impact. At this point, apart from his eyes and mouth, he had no part of his body that he could control.

The adjutant didn't ask any further questions, but simply helped Kronos to a suitable seat, and then they observed the battlefield together.

The entire negative effect only lasted ten minutes, so before the battle on the ship was over, Kronos slowly regained control of his body.

I hadn't experienced it before, so I didn't really understand. Only after experiencing it once will I realize how terrifying it is to lose control of one's own body.

Having regained control of his body, Kronos stood up and, without a second thought, simply wanted to savor the feeling of controlling his own body. So, without a word, he grabbed his Walking Stick and charged into the battle.

With Kronos joining the fray, the battle was over in less than ten minutes.

The members of this Fleet were truly ruthless. You couldn't compare to them without spending over a decade killing fish in the market. They left no survivors, and even those subdued by Kronos and the Marionette were finished off.

"Mr. Klein, General Salandon has decided to give you all the spoils of war on this ship, so you can now sail the entire ship home," the lieutenant said to Kronos as he stepped forward.

This was something Sallandon had decided before the war began, and the decision was to be made by the lieutenant. If Kronos's performance was impressive enough, then everything on the ship would be given to him; if it was less impressive, then it would be put on hold until the lieutenant returned and reported back before a decision was made.

However, Kronos's behavior on the ship convinced the lieutenant that there was absolutely no doubt about the matter, so he sent him out directly.

Kronos surveyed the surroundings. The ship had been blasted with a gaping hole by cannon fire, the masts were broken, and the deck was littered with corpses. Kronos was speechless with grief.

What could you possibly do with a boat like that if you sailed it back?

The adjutant seemed to sense Kronos's speechless look, so he quickly added, "I know it's a mess right now. You can choose to keep some things you like, and we'll help you recycle the rest."

That makes more sense. What use is a wrecked ship to Kronos?

Since the adjutant had said so, Kronos didn't stand on ceremony and headed straight for the cabin.

Perhaps the most valuable thing on this ship is the Beyonder Characteristic of those two or three Beyonder, but it will take time to extract them, so Kronos decided to go to the cabin first.

As it turned out, Kronos's guess was correct; he searched the entire ship's cabin but found nothing of value.

Some gold, silver, jewelry, or cash held no interest for Kronos, but he also understood that the good stuff was beyond the reach of ordinary Pirate.

If Sallandon could just give him the Iron Blood, that would be wonderful. Not to mention all those Beyonder Characteristic in the Mid-Sequence, the Iron Blood itself would be priceless.

Perhaps it's the minimum requirement to become Pirate General; in any case, these Pirate General ' ships are all incredibly high-class.

The Iron Blood is a precious Ghost Ship, probably a treasure of the Republic of Intis. On this ship, the Vice Admiral Iron Blood can perfectly command and coordinate with everyone, and also enhance their own side's attacks.

But Kronos knew this was wishful thinking; not only could he not keep such a good thing, but even Sallandon himself couldn't keep it.

After touring the ship's cabins, Kronos returned to the deck and quietly watched the logistics personnel from the Command Ship clean up the battlefield.

"Mr. Klein, you haven't gained anything from this?" the adjutant asked, sitting down next to Kronos.

"It's not that I didn't find anything, it's just that I didn't really like any of them. My family is quite well-off, so I wasn't very interested."

Kronos was no naive fool; the reason he unknowingly revealed so much "Information" was to establish a friendly relationship with General Salandon.

Although he currently has a good relationship with Amyrius, and he knows that Amyrius will be transferred in the future and Sallandon will no longer be in charge of the Navy Base, he believes that the position of a technical talent like Sallandon is still secure, especially given that George III is aware of the impending war.

Although the Argel Family is now hesitant to expand their influence in the military and political spheres, Kronos believes that having some allies is still essential.

Moreover, Kronos was confident he could change the situation.

He has now broken free from the constraints of the Family Secret Manual manual. As long as he proceeds step by step, becoming a Sequence 5 before Mr. Fool Descent will be no problem.

Through Mr. Fool, Kronos gained Pathway to contact Huang Beibei, and the Potion Formula was no longer a problem.

Given the ensuing turmoil, Kronos believed that the Argel Family was once again qualified to step into the limelight.

If Kronos is strong enough, he could even usurp the Royal Family or replace it.

Upon hearing the Information that Kronos had "inadvertently" revealed, the adjutant nodded knowingly.

This is one of the reasons why Sallandon sent his adjutant.

Sallandon had been in the Sonia Fleet longer than Amyrius, so given his position, he would naturally have noticed something amiss.

For example, the plan to encircle and kill the Vice Admiral Iron Blood was formulated long ago, and Kronos only appeared later, but Amyrius claimed that he provided the Message.

For example, Amyrius really valued Kronos, and he visited Sallandon several times to discuss matters concerning him.

The younger generation of the Levett Family had visited the Navy Base before, but even among them, Sallandon had never seen Amyrius show such importance.

This alone is enough to elevate Sallandon's regard for Kronos by several levels.

Someone who commands such attention Admiral a powerful Demigod must be no ordinary person.

So Kronos wanted to extend Goodwill, and Sallandon wanted the same, and the two hit it off immediately.

Sallandon's real goal was to find someone powerful enough to help him get rid of the Twilight Hermit Order.

I joined on a whim back then, and later regretted it after things calmed down.

I'm already this old. Even if I had the chance to become an Beyonder, I would only linger in the Low Sequence for a while, with no increase in lifespan.

It's really not worth it to become controlled by others because of such an obsession.

Fortunately, he hasn't actually done anything for that organization yet, so he feels there's still hope for him.

Therefore, Sallandon has been actively seeking connections, not only with the Loen Kingdom, but also with various churches.

Outsiders assumed he had been in the position of major general for too long and wanted to smooth things over to get a promotion.

So when he discovered that Kronos's identity might be unusual, he immediately agreed to Amyrius's idea and then continued to extend his Goodwill to Kronos.

Kronos is currently unaware of Sallandon's intentions, which is why he's eagerly exchanging Goodwill with Sallandon.

If he knew that Sallandon's purpose Twilight Hermit Order, he would have been scared out of his wits.

Adam's awe-inspiring power was extraordinary.

In a sense, the brothers Adam and Amon in the original story possessed a sense of oppression that surpassed that of the True God.

One is the embodiment of fraud and pranks, the other is the mastermind behind an entire era.

Even with the Time Stone, Kronos swore he would never provoke the two brothers in any way before reaching Sequence One.

So if Sallandon ever tells Kronos about this, he will definitely witness what it means to move at the speed of light.

Kronos will surely disappear completely from Sallandon's world.
