Ghost Empire

After several hours of searching, not a single drop of fresh water was found in Kronos.

Fortunately, Kronos spotted several Coconut Tree in the dense Jungle. If they still couldn't find fresh water in the end, these coconuts would last them for a while.

It seems that for quite some time to come, Kronos will have to rely on seafood and coconuts for sustenance, but there shouldn't be any major problems in the short term.

With food and water secured, the remaining issue was finding a way to leave the island.

There are some fairly tall trees on the island. Kronos's Disease Triangular Dagger Thorn, doesn't pose a problem for cutting down trees, but building ships is a real challenge for Kronos.

Kronos thought about a solution for a long time, but still couldn't come up with one. In the end, he decided to eat and drink his fill first.

With the Azure Brooch on his body, Kronos was quite at ease in the sea, quickly catching several fish before setting up a campfire on the beach.

Smelling the aroma of fish rising from the campfire and sipping sweet coconut water, Kronos felt that life was quite pleasant.

Just then, the Messenger Lady emerged from the Spirit World and stood directly in front of Kronos.

"Messenger Lady, you've arrived just in time! Would you like to try some of my grilled fish?" Kronos asked, pointing to the grilled fish in front of him.

After such a long period of getting to know him, Kronos had come to realize that his Messenger was not a spirit, but had a real body and therefore could eat.

The Lady Messenger her head, then tossed out a letter that flew directly to Kronos and landed right in front of him.

Perhaps because it was inconvenient for her to speak, the Messenger Lady had never spoken except in very special circumstances, and Kronos had gotten used to it.

The letter was opened; it was from the Marquis Argel.

The entire text focuses on Kronos's situation and what kind of help he needs.

After reading it, Kronos smiled. In fact, Marquis Argel was more of a strict father and rarely showed concern for his children, but this matter was too big, so big that even the Marquis could not hold back.

Since he still had no pen, Kronos randomly pulled a stick from the campfire and began writing a reply.

It has always been a child's custom to only share good news with their Parents, and Kronos was no exception.

In his letter, Kronos described his approximate location and said that there was no need to worry about supplies on the island. He was currently looking for a way to leave the island and told his family not to worry.

Kronos felt that even if he told his family about his difficulties, they might not be able to help, since they lived so far away and there was no Demigod in his family.

After the letter was sent, it gradually grew dark. There were few animals on the island, so Kronos could sleep soundly.

So he gathered a lot of Soft Leaves and built himself a comfortable "nest".

After setting up the Wall of Spirituality, Kronos lay comfortably in his nest and gradually drifted off to sleep.

He slept until after 2 a. m. when Kronos's Spirituality suddenly stirred within him, indicating that something had appeared near the Wall of Spirituality.

This sign startled Kronos so much that he jumped up. Something had suddenly appeared on an island that had been empty before. This didn't sound like a heartwarming and happy story at all.

When Kronos opened his eyes, he saw an enormous ship floating on the sea.

The entire ship looked lifeless and deserted, as if it were inhabited. Its size was comparable to that of a small city.

Looking at the ship before him, the first name that popped into Kronos's mind was—"The Ghost Empire".

Legend has it that there are countless Treasure on the sea, and six of them are the most famous.

The number one item is the Death's Key. It is said that in a hidden place in the Berserk Sea, the Treasure left behind by Death God awaits the person who holds a specific Key to find and open it. But what that Key looks like and where it will appear, no one knows.

Second on the list is the Fountain of Youth, located deep within the Sonia Sea. Legend Agalito, one of the Four Kings, the "King of Immortality," drank Fountain of Youth its waters, but this is likely a hoax by Agalito.

The third largest inheritance is the legacy of the Solomon Empire. It is said that Nast, the "King of the Five Seas," inherited a portion of the Solomon Empire's legacy, but the veracity of this speculation remains to be verified.

The fourth was the Ghost Empire. The Trunsoest Empire built a massive ship, equivalent to a city, and transferred all its treasures and wealth onto it. Ironically, their escape failed, and none of the scheduled passengers and crew arrived at the Harbor in time; not a single one survived.

The ship vanished on its own, and even today, people still claim to have seen the enormous vessel silently sailing by on a foggy night. It is known as the "Ghost Empire," and its haunts are found throughout the Sonia Sea.

The fifth is the Lost Newins. Legend has it that in the Fog Sea, there exists a Civilization of intelligent beings. Seafarer and adventurers in that area often find strange items, all pointing to the Ancient Ince, but the members of this Civilization have never appeared, as if they have long since vanished from this world.

The last one, and the most real one, is the ' Sunken Laurel '. More than a hundred years ago, it was carrying gold, jewels and various valuables that the Kingdom had obtained from East Balam. Because it deviated from its course, it sank somewhere in the Berserk Sea or the Sonia Sea, and has not been found to this day.

Kronos hadn't studied the Information about these maritime Treasure in detail, but when he saw this large ship, the name automatically popped into his mind.

This is a major opportunity, but Kronos is a little unsure whether it's truly right for him.

He doesn't even need to be Demigod; even if he were just a Sequence 5, he wouldn't hesitate to take to the air and fly directly to the Ghost Empire.

However, Kronos doubted whether he could safely enter the Gate the Ghost Empire now.

Just as Kronos was still hesitating, the Ghost Empire came to a steady stop on the beach in front of Kronos.

Then a figure clad in armor appeared at the bow of the Ghost Empire ship. This figure stood there, staring at Kronos for a long time.

After a while, a dark light shot from the bow of the ship toward Kronos. It was so fast that Kronos had no chance to react.

However, the light did not fall on Kronos, but on the open space in front of him. Then, the dark light formed a path, running from in front of Kronos all the way to the Above the Ghost Empire.

Kronos was now even more conflicted. This was clearly an invitation to board the ship. Everyone said that the Ghost Empire held the Treasure of the Trunsoest Empire. Wasn't using this as a test a bit too difficult?

Money is fine, but Trunsoest is a god, Sequence 0 Justiciar. If he were to reveal even a fraction of what he possesses to Kronos, it would be enough for Cronus to become Demigod.

However, opportunity and danger always go hand in hand. Kronos was not a descendant of the Trunsoest family, so how could the opportunities left behind by them be given to him so easily? Therefore, the dangers on the ship were self-evident.

Just as Kronos was still hesitating, a figure suddenly appeared beside him—his Messenger, Lady Kronos.

Because the Messenger Lady emerged from the Spirit World, she didn't cause any significant disturbance, and Kronos didn't notice her.

Although the Messenger Lady's face was not visible, her actions clearly showed that she was staring at the Ghost Empire. After watching for a while, she suddenly moved, and with a gentle push, she pushed Kronos onto the dark path.

Only then did Kronos realize that the Miss Messenger had appeared beside him, but now that he was on this path, there was no turning back.

Kronos stood on the dark road, which was like a conveyor belt, slowly being retrieved by the Ghost Empire until it transported Kronos to the bow of the Ghost Empire's ship.

Only from this vantage point could Kronos discern the layout of the Ghost Empire: four grand halls guarded the central Pyramid -like structure on the entire ship.

Upon seeing the Pyramid, Kronos had some guesses: the ship must have been built during the reign of the Tudor - Trunsoest United Empire.

At that time, the Black Emperor Solomon fell. Tudor and Trunsoest, who were originally Duke of Entropy of Sequence Two, were promoted to Prince of Abolition after obtaining Solomon's Sequence One Beyonder Characteristic.

After that, they began preparing for their own Apotheosis Ritual, so they were all building Pyramid Mausoleum for the Black Emperor.

Tudor moved swiftly, and with the help of Mr. Door, he quickly established nine interconnected Mausoleum —the nine Ruins that George III had usurped.

What Kronos is standing before is probably the Mausoleum built by Trunsoest.

This Ghost Empire has many unique characteristics, making it extremely difficult to detect.

After Trunsoest's death, the Augustus Family the Loen Royal Family family obtained a Sequence One Hand of Order property, and the Feynapotter Royal Family and Castiya Royal Family also obtained one, but one of them is missing.

Many people suspect that the Hand of Order is Trunsoest's backup plan, and there's a high possibility that it's even Above the Ghost Empire.

However, to date, there has been no news of anyone forcibly searching for this large ship.

This also demonstrates how difficult it was to find this large ship.

The figure at the bow of the ship was a pure white skeleton, clad in heavy armor.

"Uh, General? What should I do now?" Kronos asked, forcing himself to speak.
