Testing the waters

Therefore, after Gner became Vice Admiral Dusk, another Message shocked the Five Seas and even the entire world.

Nast was defeated and willingly relinquished ownership of the Pirate Duchy.

Moreover, the person who defeated Nast was also the owner of the Ghost Empire, so the capital of the new Pirate kingdom was established Above the Ghost Empire, just a dozen kilometers away from Bayam.

At the same time, the Pirate Duchy was upgraded to the Pirate King Kingdom, Nast's title of Duke remained unchanged, and he also possessed his own White Maple Duchy, with his own the Black Emperor ship as his fief.

This series of changes is baffling to both Low Sequence Beyonder and ordinary people.

How could anyone still want to rob a country that exists in name only?

Besides, Nast has been the King of the Five Seas for so long; even if he really couldn't defeat that person, why should he submit to him?

These people don't understand, but for those at a higher level, it's not so difficult to comprehend.

Nast's Potion digestion requires such a position and such a duchy, therefore, even if it means being subordinate to others, this matter must be done.

What interests them is the man who defeated Nast.

Nast was no ordinary person. He possessed Solomon's Treasure, and even when he was only Sequence 3, he was already no weaker than an ordinary Angel.

Now that she has become Angel, her power is self-evident.

But they still lost. Does this mean an Archangel intervened?

But there are only so many Archangel, so who is it?

The various factions did indeed have a slight idea, wanting to test the waters.

However, given that the Ghost Empire is currently located in the waters of Loen, it is still necessary to discuss the matter with Loen, the Church of Evernight, and the Church of Storms.

Loen did not want to agree to this, since it was his own sea area and it was normal not to allow other forces to enter.

Moreover, Kronos had already spoken with his father, Philip, and Amyrius; how could they possibly allow such a thing to happen?

As for the Church of Evernight, its existence is also in a very ambiguous state.

In order to prevent the King of the Black Throne from causing trouble, Kronos did not keep his actions a secret from the Church of Evernight.

For this reason, the Church of Evernight had no intention of taking any action.

The Church of Storms, however, is not so easy to reason with.

The Church of Storms, the Church of Evernight, and the current Loen government were already at odds due to the coup in Loen. Now, a Mysterious Person has emerged and relocated the Pirate King Kingdom to Loen's waters. How can this be tolerated?

Fortunately, although the Church of Storms has a bad temper, it still has a certain sense of the big picture and did not do anything without authorization from the Loen authorities and the Church of Evernight.

After discussions, they ultimately agreed to allow various forces to enter, but not the military.

This was a good result, so representatives from all sides sent to the Ghost Empire to meet the new king.

However, this plan ultimately failed.

The first person these representatives met after they boarded the Ghost Empire was Nast.

Nast was waiting for them there, and was prepared to deal with them.

Logically speaking, Nast's personality shouldn't allow him to act this way.

Even if they choose to relinquish ownership, it's unlikely they'll actually work for Kronos.

But Kronos has cards in his hand—hidden cards, and also Blasphemy Card.

Nast waved the Black Emperor Card in front of Nast, and Nast immediately gave in.

If he works for Kronos for five years, he will not only return the Pirate King Kingdom to him, but also give him all the knowledge on the Black Emperor Card.

This temptation is not something everyone can resist.

That's a path to Divine Throne.

Therefore, although Nast had abdicated, he was still handling all matters concerning the Pirate King Kingdom.

Representatives from all sides were very dissatisfied after meeting Nast.

They came here to meet the Kingdom's new king.

Nast kept repeating the same thing. "The King has other matters to attend to and doesn't have time to see you."

In fact, Nast's words were not entirely untrue.

At this time, Kronos was not in the Ghost Empire at all, but in a very secluded place.

He was able to come here entirely because Adam led him here.

Kronos could probably locate this place through the Spirit World, but he didn't know exactly where it was.

This is the location of the Twilight Hermit Order, founded by Adam.

This is an extremely dilapidated building, with only a long table in the middle used for meetings.

In Adam's words, this place is a projection of our world.

It was already very dilapidated and on the verge of complete collapse.

Their purpose in existing is to preserve this dilapidated building and better prepare for the Apocalypse.

It must be admitted that this Ancient Sun God was actually a pretty good person.

From the very beginning, from the moment he left Chernobyl, he took it upon himself to save humanity and the world, and he truly dedicated his entire life to it.

Only after Kronos arrived did Adam hand the Second Blasphemy Slate to Kronos.

Kronos could study it at will whenever Adam did not need to use it.

This kind of treatment is unique to the Twilight Hermit Order.

The other members only occasionally got to look at the stone slab, and of course, there wasn't much point in them studying it.

As for Emperor Roselle of that time, he only created the Blasphemy Card through occasional observation.

This stone tablet possesses true and complete Omniscience and omnipotence, quite similar to the aura of Kronos God Almighty's Substitute.

It's not surprising, after all, it was formed from the body of the Ancient Sun God.

This is why possessing the Blasphemy Slate allows one to draw upon the power of the Chaos Sea, which is why Adam and Amon each claimed the two tablets for themselves.

Kronos took out the Blasphemy Card and compared them with the Blasphemy Slate, beginning to study the knowledge left on them.

This knowledge greatly helped Kronos Analysis other Pathway of power, allowing Kronos to acquire more knowledge and thus better understand his own Potion.

Furthermore, since Kronos is now nominally the king of the Pirate King Kingdom, which is equivalent to the emperor's position, this has also made the Potion digestion speed a bit faster.

Because Kronos had already studied the Blasphemy Card extensively, he quickly figured out most of the Pathway the Playing Cards in his hand came to be.

Even the knowledge of Sequence One is thoroughly understood, but higher levels are not so easy.

Therefore, he turned his attention to studying Sequence that had never received Playing Cards.

The twenty-two Sequence of gods all belong to the human race Sequence, so fundamentally they are not untouchable entities.

However, the Pathway why some of the Blasphemy Card are so heavily polluted is because these Pathway have been invaded by Outer Deity.

The power of Blasphemy Card is relatively weak, and cannot be reduced to the influence of these Outer Deity.

This would be completely impossible on the Blasphemy Slate.

The powers associated with those Pathway on the stone slab are all complete and pure; there is nothing for Kronos to worry about.

For example: Moon Pathway, Demoness Pathway, Hanged Man Pathway, Abyss Pathway.

Kronos's Potion digestion process is advancing by leaps and bounds, it's like he's on a high-speed train.

But things weren't going well for Nast; representatives from all sides were pestering him every single day, without fail.

In the end, Nast got so annoyed that he simply shut himself away and refused to see anyone.

It was precisely because of this that they joined forces and hatched a wicked plan.

Although the Loen government and the Church of Evernight strongly opposed their armed probing, the Church of Storms's attitude remained ambiguous.

Therefore, in their view, as long as there is no consensus within the Loen faction, it wouldn't be too difficult to cause trouble.

After discussing it amongst themselves, they finally decided on an armed invasion. They refused to believe that at this critical moment, the person behind it all wouldn't show up.

As for Nast, he doesn't need many; two or three Angel are enough to keep him occupied.

With so many forces combined, they still managed to gather so many Angel.

Ultimately, one Angel was chosen from each of the three churches: the Church of Steam and Machinery, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the Church of Knowledge.

The Church of the Earth Mother didn't send anyone, since they were allies with the Evernight Goddess and Kronos, so they kept it a secret.

As for the army, the Republic of Intis will provide it; let's work together to test this Pirate King Kingdom.

On the day of the incident, the three Angel held Nast tightly.

At this moment, Nast's true strength became apparent; he alone possessed three Angel -level Sealed Artifact and five Sequence 3 Sealed Artifact.

However, two fists are no match for six hands, and they were unable to break free from the blockade of the three Angel.

Furthermore, this level of Sealed Artifact is not something that can be used casually. Using it once is fine, but if you keep using it, the negative effects could be fatal.

With Nast entangled, the crew of the Black Emperor and the skeleton guards of the Ghost Empire alone would find it difficult to withstand the attack from the Intis Warship.

The Ghost Empire may indeed have the world's largest ships, but that doesn't mean they possess offensive capabilities.

Even the protective shield could hardly withstand wave after wave of shelling.

As soon as the fifth round of shelling began, the people on board knew they couldn't hold out.

The next moment, a figure appeared between the Intis fleet and the Ghost Empire.

With a wave of his right hand, all the Cannonball vanished.

Then he looked at the Intis fleet, and all the Warship in the entire fleet vanished into thin air, with the people on Warship falling directly into the sea.

"This is just a small Punishment for you. If there's a next time, you'll definitely pay the price."

The Executives at Intis must be feeling the pinch from this Punishment.

If you've killed someone, you could leave the Warship behind.

The value of Warship far surpasses that of those soldiers.

After this person appeared, Nast stopped.

Angel from the Church of Knowledge stepped forward, bowed, and asked, "Mr. Adam, are you the king of this Pirate King Kingdom?"

That's right, the person who came here to solve his problem was Adam.

Within the territory of the Twilight Hermit Order, no Information could be kept from Adam.

Therefore, Adam was the first to know about the message that Nast sent to Kronos.

At this moment, Kronos was immersed in boundless knowledge, and the only way to bring him back to his senses was to use a forceful method.

Adam considered it for a moment, but ultimately decided not to do so.

This state is very beneficial for the digestion of Potion; the speed is absolutely astonishing.

If he chooses to forcibly interrupt this state, it will be extremely difficult for Kronos to enter it again.

With the Apocalypse approaching, if Kronos could become even stronger, Adam would definitely provide even more support.

Since that's the case, Adam will have to solve the external problems himself.

Adam glanced at the Angel of the Church of Knowledge and said, "I am not, but the Pirate King Kingdom is a member of my Twilight Hermit Order. Just relay this to Herabergen; he will understand."

Then he looked at the Angel of the Church of Steam and Machinery and the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun: "Stiano and Aucuses are the same; just convey this message."

Adam once invited several of the world's True God to join the Twilight Hermit Order, because they themselves were the last bulwark of this world.

But perhaps out of fear of Adam, or perhaps out of fear of the Ancient Sun God, these True God shared a similar attitude with Amanises.

Although they didn't join, they didn't refuse the tokens either; they were just placed in places far from the core.

Now that Adam has become a god, the Twilight Hermit Order no longer exist to drive the world's processes.

Therefore, the three gods must know what the Twilight Hermit Order represents at this time.

Now that Adam had intervened, they stopped investigating.

Want to figure out what's hidden behind the Pirate King Kingdom? It's not difficult, just join the Twilight Hermit Order.

Upon hearing Adam's words, the three Angel bowed simultaneously.

Seeing that they understood, Adam naturally left. This wasn't his territory, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

The Angel from the Church of Knowledge also left immediately to report back.

As for the other two Angel, they had another troublesome task: to retrieve all the Intis Soldier who had fallen into the sea and bring them back to the Republic of Intis.

Although the state and the church belong to two different systems, they couldn't just watch these Soldier die here.

While they were rescuing the person, Nast was still making sarcastic remarks from the sidelines.

"Oh dear, do you need any help? Do you want me to take you back to the Republic of Intis? There are so many of you, don't let yourselves get sick from exhaustion."

Nast finally got his revenge.
