Taking over the Ghost Empire

After doing all this, Amanises turned to look at Kronos.

"Azik may need another ten days or even a month to process this, so leaving him in the Darkened Heaven is the best option."

"Once he has completely digested his own soul, there might still be some disturbances. This place can conceal all the changes."

So where are you going next?

Now that Mr. Azik's matter is settled, there's no need for Kronos to stay here any longer.

Kronos thought for a moment, then said, "Send me to the Fog Sea."

"You reminded me last time that once I become Angel, I'll be qualified to take over the Ghost Empire completely. I might as well go there while I'm at it."

Amanises nodded.

The Ghost Empire is the legacy of Trunsoest, and only those who reach the Angel Level are qualified to pass the final test and take over the entire Ghost Empire.

Besides the great ship, those who pass the final test will also receive the last Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order, helping Trunsoest escape the prison.

However, it was no longer necessary, because Grand Duke Olmer had already forced his way in and even attempted to help Trunsoest Resurrection, though he had failed.

So now, apart from the corrupted Warrior, all that's left on the Ghost Empire is an empty ship.

Kronos probably had some idea about this, because he had seen that corrupted Beyonder Characteristic among the Sanguine.

At that time, Kronos immediately noticed the striking similarity between the pollution on the wall and that on the Ghost Empire.

Therefore, Kronos did not believe he could obtain anything of value from the Ghost Empire at this time.

It's important to know that the Ghost Empire was a contingency plan left by Trunsoest before the great war.

Therefore, anything too powerful or Beyonder could not possibly appear here, since they are meant to contribute to the war effort.

Therefore, the most precious thing might be the Ghost Empire itself.

After all, it is a ship that cannot be found. Even a True God would not be able to discover it without being invited and without any clues.

Since the ship still had value, Kronos was willing to take the opportunity to visit it.

After receiving Kronos's answer, Amanises sent him directly to the Fog Sea.

Although the Darkness Pathway does not possess the ability to teleport, the power of the True God is omnipresent, thus she can send anyone anywhere within the Divine Kingdom.

After the black mist on the sea dissipated, Kronos appeared on the surface of the sea.

Kronos came to the Fog Sea Fog Sea mainly because he sensed the presence of the Ghost Empire there.

After all, Kronos was already Angel, and with permission to enter the Ghost Empire Ghost Empire, he was able to sense its approximate location.

It's no longer necessary to touch it little by little like before.

After standing still on the sea for a moment, Kronos sensed the location of the Ghost Empire even more closely, and then began his Spirit World Traversal.

The first teleportation didn't take us near the Ghost Empire, but it brought us much closer, allowing us to sense its exact location more clearly.

After the second teleportation, Kronos arrived before the large ship of the Ghost Empire.

This is a ship that Kronos is very familiar with, and from today onwards, it will belong entirely to Kronos.

Kronos completely ignored the Skeleton General at the bow of the ship, and with a light step, entered the Pyramid Tomb directly.

The ship's greatest strength was its stealth ability, and Kronos, bearing the mark of invitation, was naturally not refused by the Ghost Empire.

Kronos passed two levels, corresponding to the Low Sequence and the Mid-Sequence respectively, and obtained a Marionette Illustrated Compendium and a Manipulation Gloves.

The reason he didn't come when he was Demigod was because Olmer told him that even if he passed the Demigod's test, he wouldn't get anything.

The reason why Kronos was able to obtain Mid-Sequence rewards in Low-Sequence Trial and High Sequence rewards in Mid-Sequence levels was mainly due to the aura of Olnia.

However, this only means that Kronos has prematurely exhausted his rewards; it does not mean that he will receive Angel -level or Demigod- level rewards after passing the Demigod- level challenge.

Therefore, Kronos needs to proceed to the Third Trial.

Logically speaking, clearing levels shouldn't be about overwhelming opponents with Sequence.

However, for Angel, this large ship really has no restrictive power.

Kronos stepped into the Third Trial, the Demigod level.

Normally, there should be a Sequence 3 opponent for Kronos here.

As for the ordinary Sequence 3 that had turned into a skeleton, Kronos was confident he could easily defeat it, so he didn't pay it too much attention.

However, after entering this level, not a single skeleton appeared.

The main issue is that, apart from the Skeleton General standing at the bow of the ship— Captain of the Guards Kaust —there are no other Sequence 3 on the Above the Ghost Empire.

There may have been others before, such as Duke Kohler who devoured everyone, and another Frenzy Mage.

However, Duke Kohler later attacked the Frenzy Mage, who was subsequently sealed away by Duke Olmer.

Therefore, there is no gatekeeper at this level.

Duke Kohler envisioned Kronos progressing through this stage step by step, and then facing him directly.

Despite being only a Sequence 3, Kohler possesses a multitude of Beyonder Characteristic.

These Beyonder Characteristic did not allow Kohler to Advancing to Angel, but they did make his abilities numerous and chaotic.

Although it cannot compare to an Angel, its true strength is higher than that of a normal Sequence 3.

If Kohler hadn't been sealed away by Olmer, and Kronos had indeed arrived in the Ghost Empire after advancing to Sequence 3.

There's a very high chance they'll suffer a major setback here.

If Kronos were to be completely defeated by Kohler, Kohler would be able to use Kronos's identity, along with the loopholes in the Rules discovered over a thousand years.

Kohler might be able to replace Kronos, become the one who breaks through the barrier, and obtain the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order.

This was Kohler's plan.

However, he failed to anticipate the appearance of the Sanguine and Olmer, causing his plan, which had been in the works for hundreds of years, to fail completely.

After standing in the room of the Third Trial for a while without anyone appearing, Kronos headed towards the next room.

However, because the obstacle was not overcome, the door did not open automatically.

Kronos tried to push it a couple of times but got no response, so Kronos had no choice but to resort to force.

Kronos gently placed his hand on the door, and then the door turned to ashes and vanished without a trace.

After being promoted to the Knowledge Mentor, Kronos's mastery of force further enhanced his ability to decompose matter.

After the door disappeared, Kronos stepped into the next room.

Logically, this room should be where the Demigod- level rewards are placed.

Even if Kronos hadn't actually completed the challenge, he still wouldn't have received the Demigod- level reward, since it had already been overdrawn in advance.

Kronos glanced at the empty round platform in the middle of the room, but did not stop. Instead, he continued walking towards the door on the other side of the room.

When they reached the door, as expected, they couldn't open it even with a gentle push.

However, the moment Kronos made contact with the door, he received Information from it.

"Once you reach the Angel level, you can open this door by pushing it with your strongest power."

Since this Ghost Empire was going to be his future asset, Kronos didn't choose to use the Decomposition Power to make the door disappear directly.

Kronos gently pushed his hand forward on the door, a push that was less forceful than that of a Demigod.

However, Kronos simultaneously manipulated the force in his hand with his mind, amplifying it without limit.

Under the influence of this force, the door slowly opened.

In fact, as long as the strongest power touches the edge of the Angel Level, it will be able to open this door.

That's why Kohler had that plan; otherwise, how would he have opened that door?

If Kohler, whose strongest power is close to that of Angel, can activate it, then Kronos, who is Angel himself, can naturally do the same.

After opening the door, Kronos went inside.

Upon entering this final room, Kronos was greeted by a golden coffin, the very one used to store the remains of Trunsoest after his Resurrection.

Kronos circled the Golden Coffin several times, sensing the danger within with his Spirituality senses.

Although the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order have been removed, what if there are still other dangers involved?

After sensing for a while and finding that there was probably no problem, Kronos slowly approached.

Upon reaching the Golden Coffin, Kronos gently tapped the coffin lid with his finger.

For Knowledge Mentor, even this small amount of power is enough to be amplified to the point of moving mountains.

Therefore, the lid of the Golden Coffin was pushed open directly.

Kronos looked inside and saw a Black Coffin.

Kronos was somewhat speechless. Did this world really have such Rules of layering coffins and outer coffins?

Just as Kronos was about to reach for the Black Coffin, a voice rang in his ears.

"It's best not to be so reckless, or there will be other consequences."

Kronos quickly turned his head and saw Duke Olmer.

This Black Coffin is the Coffin of Death that Olmer used to seal Kohler. The reason it was left here is mainly for the sake of the entire Ghost Empire.

The Ghost Empire originally existed for the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order. Therefore, after Olmer took away the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order, the entire Ghost Empire changed.

After all, it's a ship that has been adrift at sea for so many years; once it loses its source of energy, it will be difficult for it to hold on.

So Olmer urgently placed the Coffin of Death inside, thus maintaining the Ghost Empire.

Olmer sensed Kronos's approach to the Golden Coffin and thus arrived so quickly to warn Kronos.

With Olmer's explanation, Kronos finally understood what the Black Coffin was and realized that he couldn't touch it carelessly, or the consequences could be quite serious.

After glancing at the Coffin of Death, Kronos looked at Olmer and finally retrieved a green diamond from the Mask Space.

"Duke Olmer, do you think this can replace the Coffin of Death?"

After glancing at it, Olmer asked in surprise, "You actually have the Life Diamond? That's certainly a very good choice."

This is the Life Diamond that Kronos, in his capacity as Horamick, demanded from Greenton.

This is formed from the Angel of the Mother Pathway, containing a vast amount of Life Force.

In terms of status, it may not be as powerful as the Hand of Order or the Coffin of Death sealed Kohler.

However, the concentration of energy within it is unmatched by Beyonder Characteristic or Beyonder Item.

With it around, the Ghost Empire could easily last another century, and might even be revitalized.

Olmer continued, "Wouldn't that be a bit of a waste? After all, the Life Diamond is a life-saving artifact."

In the past, Kronos would definitely have been reluctant to part with it, since the Ghost Empire seemed to be of little use.

However, after Kronos received the Gift of Life, the importance of the Life Diamond suddenly diminished, which is why Kronos took it out.

Seeing that Kronos had nothing to regret, Olmer stopped stopping him and directly took the Coffin of Death out of the Golden Coffin.

The moment the Coffin of Death left the Golden Coffin, the Ghost Empire began to tremble.

Although it may not completely disintegrate, the possibility of Great Upheaval is still very high.

At least in Kronos's view, the Pyramid was bound to collapse.

With such a massive Pyramid Tomb collapsing, it's hard to say whether the Ghost Empire's ships could withstand the collapse.

Therefore, without any hesitation, Kronos placed the Life Diamond into the Golden Coffin and also set up a Ritual Magic inside Golden Coffin.

To prolong the Life Diamond's lifespan, Kronos chose Ritual to gather Life Force. This way, the Life Diamond was both being consumed and replenished at the same time, resulting in a better effect.

As the green Life Force spread, the entire Ghost Empire underwent significant changes.

This is a ship built nearly two thousand years ago, and it has been in continuous operation ever since it was launched.

Therefore, in many parts, the hull is already showing signs of being overburdened.

The Life Force brought by the Life Diamond truly gave this Ghost Empire a new lease on Life Force, making it completely new.

As the Green Light enveloped the entire Ghost Empire, many of the wooden parts even showed signs of New Life, no longer appearing as old and decayed as before.
