Chapter 206 Promoted to the fourth level! Hidden profession [Deep Sea Devourer]
Under the shining of thousands of stars, amidst the calls of many pirates.
Xia En sat on the throne in the center of [Wanchuan Island].
But the next moment.
The pirates' voices suddenly stopped, and the entire island became quiet at an extremely fast speed.
Soon, the surroundings became so quiet...
People could even hear their own heartbeats and breathing.
From extreme noise to extreme silence, it took almost only two or three seconds. This should have been an incredible thing, but at this time, no one among the pirates cared about such a trivial matter.
Their attention was all attracted by a figure appearing next to Xia En.
The snow-white beard, old face, and slightly stooped figure are no longer as heroic and upright as they once were.
The strange thing is that he is wearing a crown that he rarely wears today - it is a king's crown made by top craftsmen when the [Pirate Principality] was established.
But maybe it was because he hadn’t worn it for too long, or maybe it was because the king was getting older. When the crown was put on his head, it no longer seemed so suitable, and it was actually a little crooked.
However, no one of the pirates present dared to despise him for this.
Quite the opposite.
Almost everyone felt a stronger fear in their hearts than when they faced Xia En.
This awe comes from the past decades of rule, from the afterimage that always charges forward, and from the victorious maritime battles.
That is the real king of the [Pirate Principality]—
Augustine!
Seeing him, the pirates' hearts were in their throats.
In their opinion, Augustine would definitely take action against Shane, who attempted to usurp the throne, and then settle accounts with others.
Moreover, looking at Augustine's condition, he is just a little old and has not suffered any serious injuries.
In this case, isn't Xia En bound to lose?
Even though the pirates have seen Shane's strength, the fear of Augustine seems to be engraved in their hearts.
——They would repeatedly test Augustine, who was suspected of being seriously injured, and were extremely afraid.
Facing Augustine in his prime, they didn’t even have the courage to challenge.
Huiyun sighed and said regretfully.
“It’s over now, John is afraid that he will be executed on the spot by Augustine.”
He also didn’t think that Shane could survive Augustine’s hands.
But what happened next made everyone’s eyes widen——
Facing Xia En sitting on the throne, Augustine not only did not get angry, but showed a relieved smile. Smiling, almost approvingly.
"You did a great job."
"I couldn't do this when I was your age."
"You proved to me that you are possible, even if It’s still very weak, but it’s enough for me to place my hope in the future.”
While saying this, Augustine slowly took off the crown on his head.
The next moment, his tone suddenly became solemn and solemn.
"I, the captain of the Black Sails Fleet and the founder of the [Pirate Principality], now, in the name of Augustine... crown you!"
"You will become the new king!"
"Please lead people towards the future you described!"
For some reason, when he heard this, Xia En's heart seemed to have been hit hard, and he felt a rare burst of tears. The feeling of filling your eyes.
He knew very well the pride in the old man's heart.
Shane understood better that Augustine crowned him not for him alone, but for the future that he said would expel the gods, and for the world to no longer be destroyed and destroyed at will.
For this reason, the old man is willing to put aside his pride and hand over the crown to him.
When the crown was placed on Xia En's head, Xia En suddenly felt that the whole world seemed different.
He seemed to hear many voices and feel many emotions.
These sounds and emotions are so real and so close.
It was like there were countless threads connected to him through this crown.
Those are the citizens of the [Pirate Principality].
Their awe, envy, fear, and jealousy all turned into some invisible force, washing over Xia En's mind.
Fortunately, this impact only lasted a very short moment.
Xia En calmed down, raised his head, and happened to meet Augustine's eyes.
He suddenly understood what Augustine wanted to say -
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight!
The process of fighting the gods is bound to be difficult, and this burden is bound to be heavy.
Xia En said to himself: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous."
At this time, Augustine suddenly smiled and said: "Sure enough, you are even better than I expected. .”
"However, there is still one thing you didn't do your best at."
Xia En couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is it?"
"There were more than two apostles who betrayed me. Name."
As Augustine said, he stretched out his big hand in a direction not far away.
In that direction, standing behind the wind and the third apostle Tiffany.
Fenghou suddenly let out a scream of terror, and his body suddenly dispersed into countless cyan hurricanes, running away in all directions.
But in Augustine's hands, these hurricanes completely lost their previous sharpness and strength, and were held into a ball by him like well-behaved sheep.
Finally, transform back into the shape after the wind.
Fenghou suddenly vomited blood on the spot and suddenly became a little depressed.
And looking at her legs and arms, they were all limp, and it was obvious that several bones were broken.
However, what Augustine really wants to deal with is not Queen Feng, but Tiffany standing next to her!
Under the crushing force of the invisible force, the air around Tiffany suddenly tightened and became extremely solid.
If it had been a secret traveler, I am afraid that he would have been crushed to pieces in an instant, and his bones would have shattered, and he would have fallen to the ground and died.
But beside Tiffany, there is a barrier of mental power that firmly protects her from being crushed by the huge force.
It is different from the situation where Feng Hou was directly killed instantly.
This mental barrier seemed extremely strong, barely equal to Augustine's strength.
This phenomenon immediately shocked the other apostles.
This means that Tiffany is hiding her own strength!
And when fighting against Feng Hou, he still didn’t use all his strength!
Combined with Augustine’s words, the identity of the last traitor is clear.
However, the apostles could not figure out why Tiffany, as the third apostle, betrayed Augustine?
In the rumors, didn’t they have a relationship that went beyond friendship?
Hui Yun who was watching was also shocked: "Among the twelve apostles, there are actually traitors?"
"Or is it Tiffany?"
He looked to his side, I want the man in the white coat with unilateral glasses to analyze the situation for me again.
But when he turned around, he saw that the white coat had disappeared.
“Where did he go?”
……
……
In the field.
Under heavy pressure.
Tiffany looked unusually calm and just asked curiously.
“When did you find out?”
“I should have never shown any flaws.”
Augustin said lightly: “You really played Tiffany well. Very good, but acting... is just acting after all.”
Before he finished speaking, the invisible hand tightened again.
Click!
A clear crack appeared in the barrier surrounding Tiffany.
Obviously, Augustine wanted to crush the barrier and Tiffany directly!
He can do this.
Because...he is Augustine!
But just now.
A figure in a white coat suddenly appeared next to Tiffany.
The man said with a smile: "Mr. Augustine, why are you so angry?"
"I think we can actually have a good talk." Seeing this man, Xia En's pupils He shrunk suddenly.
One-sided glasses, the appearance of a suspected researcher... Such distinctive features immediately reminded him of a man that the Queen of the Sea Tribe and Joey had mentioned.
A name blurted out.
"...[Undertaker]!?"
Hearing this, the white coat glanced at Xia En in surprise.
"You actually know this name?"
"However, it is just one of the names I have used."
"At least in this slice of history, I should prefer [ The name "Observer"
A slice of history?
【Observer】?
Xia En frowned slightly, having many questions in his mind.
But now is obviously not the time to get to the bottom of things.
Augustine beside him seemed to have expected the appearance of the [Observer], and said: "Did it really come out?"
"You worms eating history!"
“The replaced Tiffany is the anchor point for you to sneak here, right?”
[Observer] grinned: "As expected of Augustine, even if it is just a copied projection, he understands us so deeply."
Xia En's heart skipped a beat.
If this man spoke out the essence of the promotion ritual so brazenly, wouldn’t it have any impact on other pirates?
Xia En turned to look at the others, but was surprised to find...
The faces of the pirates were blank, as if they had not heard what the [Observer] was saying at all.
In fact, when the words of this white coat fell into their ears, they turned into a kind of noise that was simply incomprehensible.
In other words, this is a shielding sound used to protect the personalities of these projections.
Only the trialists who participated in the promotion can understand it.
Augustin obviously didn’t want to talk nonsense with [Observer] anymore, and his big hands suddenly clenched.
Immediately afterwards, the space around [Observer] was directly blocked and shattered.
This time, it's no longer a squeeze from the air.
But this space was controlled by Augustine. It turned into an indescribable weapon and launched an attack on the [Observer] and "Tiffany".
——The ability that Augustine truly masters is the power of space!
What is surprising is...
When this destructive force is about to spread to the [Observer]'s body, the air around him turns into...< br>
A mess?
That’s right, it’s gibberish!
Countless chaotic, indescribable and weird words are constantly emerging and entangled.
The chaotic flow of light and shadow, like a mosaic, obscured the [Observer] and Tiffany's bodies.
It also makes it impossible for the terrifying power of space to cross this layer of mosaic and really hurt the two of them.
Even Xia En had seen this strange phenomenon for the first time.
At the same time, the voice of [Observer] continued to sound from the mosaic.
"Augustin, why bother?"
"We [Truth Society] have always been sincere to you."
[Truth Society]!
Shane was not surprised by the name.
I am afraid that only people from the [Truth Society] can achieve this kind of scene full of dissonance.
If you compare this promotion ritual to a game copy, the [Observer] in front of you is like a BUG in the copy.
Entered a certain "invincible" state and will not be affected by external attacks.
“Wait, sneak across...”
Shane suddenly remembered a word Augustine mentioned before.
“Maybe it’s not a BUG, but...an alien virus!”
In Augustine’s words, [The Will of the Secret Sea] is an extremely large, sophisticated, and absolutely rational machine.
Of course someone will think of using this machine to achieve some unique purpose.
“The worm eating history...”
"Could it be said that the purpose of [Truth Society] is to collect real historical data and information from this promotion copy?"
"But why do they do this?"
Xia En only I feel a headache.
To this day, he still doesn’t know what kind of organization the [Truth Society] is.
I don’t even understand what the “truth” they are pursuing is.
At this time, Augustine continued: "In my opinion, you are not much better than the apostles of [Husi Ming]."
"The gods they believe in are just to satisfy their own desires, and their behavior patterns are still there. There are traces to follow.”
“But the existence of your belief is madness itself!”
“Stop!”
In the mosaic, [Observer] said coldly. Said: "Augustin, do you have to force me to destroy this projection of yours?"
Augustine was not afraid: "Then come and give it a try!"
"[The Will of the Secret Sea] should be coming soon, right?"
The atmosphere instantly became tense. It's like there is a big mountain pressing on everyone's heart.
The confrontation between two top strong men will make the weak tremble even if it only exists in their minds.
But soon, [Observer] smiled: "Forget it, this time, you win."
"However, I didn't lose."
He turned his head in the mosaic and looked at Xia En.
“I finally remembered, it turns out...you are the one chosen by that woman.”
“No wonder it’s so interesting.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll be there soon. We will meet again!”
When the [Observer] was about to leave, Xia En suddenly spoke.
"[Observer], do you remember a siren named Diana?"
Hearing this name, [Observer]'s expression suddenly became uncertain, and he murmured murmured.
“What a familiar name...”
“It’s... someone I can’t forget! But why can’t I remember it?”
"Why...why..."
While trying to remember, the garbled code around [the observer] was like a blowout, and the chaotic light and shadow jumped and flowed wantonly, and the trend was getting worse.
And such anomalies have obviously attracted the attention of [The Will of the Secret Sea].
Just the next moment.
A vast and magnificent consciousness descended.
Immediately afterwards, Xia En's eyes lit up with light, drowning everything around him.
Before being overwhelmed by the light, Shane saw Augustine smiling and waving to him.
At this moment, he seemed to be no longer a pirate king, but just a kind elder saying goodbye to his descendants.
He said softly: "The future will be left to you."
Then, curtains of light fell quickly, which was the settlement page of Xia En's promotion ritual.
