Door

After a brief rest on Midway Island, Kronos launched his Starship and continued his journey.

With the navigation map in hand, Kronos quickly found his way and headed towards the location of the Pirate gathering.

In the past year or two, due to Amyrius's new appointment, the crackdown on Pirate has been extremely severe, which is why the grand event that was originally supposed to be held in the Sonia Sea was moved to the Berserk Sea.

The location was also carefully chosen, specifically a spot closer to the Feynapotter Kingdom.

Due to the Oathbreaker War, the Feynapotter Kingdom is considered one of the weaker kingdoms among the major Kingdom of the Northern Continent, and therefore has relatively weak control over the seas.

There weren't even any colonies of the Feynapotter Kingdom on the Southern Continent.

With the departure of the Church of Knowledge, only the Church of the Earth Mother remains within the Feynapotter Kingdom. Beyonder of the Mother Pathway do not have an advantage at sea, so this location is indeed very safe.

It simply means the Pirate will have to travel a little further.

Kronos embarked on another solitary journey, but fortunately he was prepared and had stockpiled a large number of books in Bayam.

So for the first part of the journey, Kronos really had a comfortable time.

I spend my free time reading books and fishing at the bow of the boat, not worrying about trivial matters.

As a result of this wonderful life, Kronos felt that the recovery of his Mind Stone Island had become faster.

But the good times didn't last long before problems arose.

After the Starship left the safe course, various undercurrents Storm began to affect its progress.

Kronos no longer had much time for a leisurely life and was forced to devote more energy to stabilizing the Starship.

With the blessing of Star Sand, this Starship is sturdy enough, but undercurrents and Storm could capsize it at any time.

Unlike the Pirate, Kronos did not travel on a real sea ship; his vessel was merely a ferry at sea.

If you actually gave him a Pirate Ship, he really wouldn't be able to operate it.

Fortunately, Kronos was quite powerful, and since he wasn't in the most dangerous location, he was able to stabilize the Starship under his full control.

There's just one thing: it's really tiring.

The situation was somewhat better during the day, so Kronos was able to get some rest.

Once night fell, Kronos dared not wander off for a moment, keeping a close watch on the sea, lest a wave wash him away.

It's still because he's not strong enough. If Kronos were Demigod now, he could easily find the Coordinates of that location in the Spirit World and teleport there directly.

Unfortunately, no, his strength at Sequence 5 wasn't enough to justify doing so.

The Starship traveled for two days within the safe passage, and then another day after leaving it. On the Map, Kronos felt he was getting close to that location.

Finding a deserted island in the vast ocean is no easy task. Ideally, someone on the island would send a signal close to the event's start time so that Pirate in the surrounding area could spot it.

However, Kronos arrived two days early due to his Spirit World Traversal, which made things a bit difficult for him.

The other Pirate arrived earlier, once they dropped anchor, would experience a bumpy ride, but there wouldn't be any major problems.

However, Kronos could not enjoy this treatment; he had to keep an eye on things himself, and if anything went wrong, he would have to rely on his own manpower to stabilize the situation.

So Kronos wanted to find that Small Island quickly so he could stop and rest.

So Kronos kept wandering around the target sea area, hoping to find it as soon as possible.

Persistence pays off; after nearly fifteen hours, Kronos found a deserted island in the vast ocean.

When Kronos saw the small black dot in the distance, his joy was palpable.

Even an iron man couldn't take the daily tossing and turning at sea.

But the closer Kronos got to the isolated island, the more uneasy he felt.

His location seemed to be somewhat off-center; it wasn't the exact spot of the Pirate gathering.

Even if it wasn't right, Kronos had no choice but to go, mainly because he really wanted to experience the feeling of being grounded.

Once Kronos had completely reached the shore, he was absolutely certain that this was not the location for the grand event.

Even though it's still a day early, the venue can't be completely deserted.

But this isolated island is indeed completely deserted.

The location Information stated that the venue was a safe area surrounded by turbulent currents, but even after Kronos reached the shore, he did not feel safe.

This is not right.

A careful look at the Map will reveal that most of the world's Five Seas are actually quite dangerous.

The western part of the Sonia Sea is relatively safe, which is why the Rorsted Islands exist.

The remaining locations, whether it be the War of the Gods Ruins in the eastern Sonia Sea, the extreme climates of the North Sea and the Polar Sea, or the Fog Sea which remains unexplored to this day, are all unsafe.

In such an unsafe environment, it is not easy for people to live, and it is also difficult for islands to survive.

Underwater currents and surface Storm will gradually erase any trace of the island.

But this isolated island was rather peculiar. Despite not being in a safe zone— Kronos could feel the turbulent currents before reaching the shore—it remained standing amidst them.

After storing the Starship in his Mask Space, Kronos hesitated on the shore for quite a while.

There must be a reason why this Small Island has survived. This secret could bring Kronos both opportunities and trouble, which is why Kronos is hesitant to venture deeper.

Just as Kronos hesitated, another Storm arose at sea.

Kronos gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, deciding to ignore everything, no matter how troublesome it might be, and just get through the Storm first.

So he quickly ran towards the island.

Given such a harsh environment, it's unlikely that there are any tall trees on the island; it's mostly just rocks with occasional low shrubs.

Kronos found a sheltered spot and settled there obediently, enjoying the feeling of having his feet firmly on the ground.

Having been adrift in the wind and waves for so long, Kronos now feels a swaying motion even when standing on the ground.

After escaping the Storm, Kronos decided to explore the island properly.

He refused to believe that the troubles on the island could be any bigger than those involving Olnia.

Kronos now has powerful backers. Even if Olnia hasn't fully recovered, Sequence One isn't someone to be trifled with.

So Kronos took out the Spirit Harmonica to summon Olnia and held it tightly in his hand, so that he could call for help at any time should anything happen.

The island wasn't very large, and it was mostly made up of rocks, so Kronos could see the outer perimeter in a single glance.

The main focus should be on the central area of the island.

Kronos slowly walked towards the center of the island.

From a distance, the center of the island appeared to be a small hill made of giant rocks, but as Kronos approached, he saw a cave.

The hole is very round, and it is not a crevice formed by a pile of boulders; it looks more like a man-made cave.

Kronos wasn't too worried about strange natural phenomena; rather, he was more wary of man-made ones.

So he slowly approached the cave entrance and cautiously peeked inside.

Fortunately, Kronos did not see anything terrifying inside.

The cave wasn't very deep, so you could see the end at a glance. There wasn't much else in the cave except for a small Stone Stele, which Kronos couldn't determine what was until he got closer.

Since there was no obvious danger in the cave, Kronos dared to go in and explore.

Kronos gripped the Spirit Harmonica tightly, activated his Concealment of Time to the maximum, and slowly walked into the cave.

As Kronos approached the small Stone Stele, he saw what was written on Stone Stele.

It clearly says "Benjamin Abraham" on it.

This surname is quite distinctive, and as a devoted reader of Lord of the Mysteries, Kronos naturally recognized it at a glance.

This is Mr. Door, from the family of Bethel Abraham.

The name Benjamin is quite common; Kronos had a Benjamin in charge of maritime trade.

However, after carefully recalling the Information from the original work, Kronos discovered that there was a Benjamin Abraham in the original work.

Emperor Roselle once formed the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who appeared multiple times in the original book's diary.

However, the composition of the Four Horsemen is somewhat controversial. It seems that Emperor Roselle had five important subordinates in the early stages.

William, Perley, Edwards, Green, Benjamin Abraham.

During their exploration of the Mysterious Island, all but Edwards and Benjamin perished on the Small Island.

Later, because they were all corrupted, they remained on the Small Island after their deaths, guarding the Mausoleum of Emperor Roselle.

Not only the three of them, Edwards also returned after his death. Although Benjamin didn't appear, Kronos believed he wouldn't be an exception.

Besides the original work, after arriving in this world, Kronos read many books related to Emperor Roselle, especially those he obtained from the Church of Steam and Machinery.

Perhaps to conceal the location of his Mausoleum, or perhaps because he was unwilling to mention his loyal subordinates, the memoirs left by Emperor Roselle did not describe them in great detail.

But there were still some Silk.

Edwards and Benjamin, in particular, both survived their escape from the Subordinate Deity Small Island, so there are still some Record of them.

According to the Record of Emperor Roselle, Edwards of old age and was eventually buried in Trier, the capital of the Republic of Intis.

Benjamin Abraham, however, did not have a definite time of death.

However, as the Curse from his bloodline grew stronger, one day Benjamin chose to leave the mainland and go to the sea alone to find a peaceful place to end it all.

Perhaps this is where Benjamin finally understands everything.

If that's the case, the danger level here would be much lower.

It's nothing more than the slight contamination that Benjamin brought with him, which is really not a problem for Kronos.

Kronos stood before the Stone Stele and examined it carefully with his Eyes of Mystery Prying.

There was no trace of pollution on the Stone Stele, and no remains were found in the surrounding soil.

That way, it's impossible to verify any of the conjectures.

However, upon closer inspection, Kronos finally discovered a trace of a mysterious power.

There seems to be something pressing down beneath this Stone Stele, and there's a hint of mysterious power emanating from it.

This was a high-ranking and powerful member of the Abraham Family; who knew what valuable things he might leave behind? So, without the slightest hesitation, Kronos used Star Sand to create a giant hand and pulled up the Stone Stele.

After the Stone Stele was lifted, an envelope appeared before Kronos's eyes.

After picking up the envelope, he put down the Stone Stele.

Kronos gently opened the envelope and poured out a piece of paper and a Playing Cards.

As soon as Kronos got his hands on the Playing Cards, he immediately recognized them because the feel was so familiar. He had spent half a year studying Playing Cards of the same material recently.

This is the Blasphemy Card of Emperor Roselle – the Door Card.

It makes sense when you think about it. Emperor Roselle had distributed all the Blasphemy Card he made to various places, so it was perfectly normal for this Door Card to end up in the hands of his subordinates.

Receiving such a treasure would make any normal person happy for a while.

But Kronos didn't feel anything.

The main problem is that this thing is useless to him.

He's already at Sequence 5, so his main method is no longer scroll Scroll. Continuing to inscribe scrolls won't allow him to reach the skill's optimal state.

Don't be fooled by how skillfully Klein plays Blasphemy Card; he can even defeat the giant sea serpent Kalvetua with just one Playing Cards.

However, everything comes with a prerequisite: the existence of Sefirah Castle, which is capable of developing abilities that have never appeared before in Blasphemy Card.

But Kronos doesn't have the Sefirah Castle. In his hands, this Door Card only represents the Potion Formula and Advancement Ritual of the Door Pathway.

Clutching the Playing Cards in his hand, Kronos muttered to himself, "Just give me a Hermit Card, then I wouldn't have to risk coming to the Pirate Festival."

But since they'd already delivered the Playing Cards to his doorstep, Kronos had no reason to refuse, so he put them into his Mask Space.

After putting away the Door Card, Kronos opened the letter in his hand, ready to see what Benjamin had written.

This letter was Benjamin's last words before his death.

His letter expressed much of his resentment, and Kronos could feel his emotions simply by reading it.

The Abraham Family was such a family, which became extremely powerful in the Fourth Epoch Age, with a patriarch who was closest to the True God.

But ever since this patriarch became Curse in their bloodline, the entire family has lived in resentment for over a thousand years.

Benjamin was one of the most outstanding members of his clan after Mr. Door's disappearance, and with the help of Roselle, he broke through to the Demigod.

However, Emperor Roselle could not protect him at all times, so he gave Benjamin the Blasphemy Card that could prevent divination.

However, this Blasphemy Card could never be as effective as the Sefirah Castle. Each Full Moon Ravings was weakened considerably, but with each stack of its effects, Benjamin eventually couldn't hold on any longer.
