Pirate Kingship

Also realize who truly set up the ambush for them.

"Capricious Joker!"

The dwarf-like clown walked into the middle of the corpses scattered on the ground, picking up a huge parchment book from the floor.

It looked like a heavy brick, with a cover made of white demon monster leather, corners bounded by Mithril, and a gold-stamped title on the cover—"Gospel of Heaven"!

Moreover, this is the original edition.

The original "Gospel of Heaven" is compiled from hundreds of years’ worth of "divine inspiration" received by numerous devout clerics, forming the first collection.

Inside it includes not only the creator’s own knowledge but also the knowledge of all the deities consumed by Him.

Though this book is merely a key to unlocking the deities’ knowledge treasury, only after completing the initial ritual "Angel’s Descent" can one gradually obtain more knowledge from increasingly compatible angels.

Even so, it is far more powerful than Byron’s [Bloody Mary’s Gourmet Cookbook], or the Deep Dive Church’s [Spiral Burial City Belief], as a top-tier grimoire.

It does not repel any profession, even forbidden paths, providing high versatility to anyone who holds it.

But its flaws are obvious, aside from needing to withstand the deities’ pull and the creator’s "fracture" curse.

The user can only pry open a very small part of its power, based on the path they follow, only exerting corresponding abilities.

Unless another Harmonizer of All Things appears, who can forcibly merge all authorities, no one can unleash its true power.

Furthermore, its content has already spread, so the Orthodox Church treats it as a normal sacred relic, handing it to the [Night Watch] for patrol.

Unaware that someone has long set their sights on this treasure (Chapter 565).

This item may be poison to some, yet sweet honey to others.

The clown, satisfied, tossed the hefty tome in his hand, cackled twice, casually stuffed it into his pants pocket, task simpler than imagined, not even needing any backup plan.

Andrea outwardly appeared utterly powerless to resist, realizing she was completely outmatched, yet secretly murmured an honorable title:

"Historical Reviser that stirs the epochs, origin of all transformations..."

A tingling sensation rose from her back, rapidly healing even the deadly fracture of her spine.

Evidently, this Gun Sister is also a kin of the [Myriad Wings Angel], [Wild Hunt King].

Since Byron’s "Unity of All Things" reached 1%, he could actively pull people through the Myriad Wings Angel.

Neither the Orthodox nor Protestant Doctrine knows how many followers of his are hidden within major religious orders, monasteries, and local churches.

By modifying the rules of the entry [My Rules are Rules], he ensured his kin don’t constantly shout praises like "Praise the Myriad Wings Angel." Their secrecy is exceptionally high.

No one anticipated the Orthodox Church’s initial spread of "Gospel of Heaven" would turn into bridal garments for Byron, making him the biggest winner.

Those clergy practicing the "Gospel of Heaven" are continuously providing foreign aid to the solitary [Myriad Wings Angel].

The longer the delay, the stronger his potential force becomes.

Saying to the Pope: "You are not pious" isn’t completely hopeless.

Unfortunately, the opponents Byron currently faces aren’t easy characters either.

The nun hadn’t even finished chanting a three-part honorable title,

when another particularly burly clown came out of the shadows with a [Golden Great Devil Card] stuck to his forehead, crushed her head with a "crack."

Then the two clowns exchanged a glance, disappeared as if by magic.

Leaving behind a final eerie laugh:

"Our master asks us to deliver the item to the person whose name cannot be spoken, for him to send it to the Eastern Continent to the [Wolf God].

If we also had the [Travel] authority, the great [Capricious Joker] would certainly not rely on outsiders.

I really want to... kill him, heheh... "

...

Simultaneously at the Valhalla Hall of Valor, ninth layer of the Golden Palace Gladsheim.

Violet noticed Byron next to her had a brief daze.

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem here?"

Byron gestured with his hands, indicating it’s unrelated to the Hall of Valor:

"No issue, just encountered the first case of a kin’s death, an incarnation has gone to guide this ’Flower Mountain Celestial Kingdom’s first angel, I will meet her after returning from the Hall of Valor."

He raised his head to continue observing a giant tree growing from the center of Gladsheim.

After their ascension to godhood, he and Violet were finally eligible to enter the ninth layer of the Hall of Valor, just like Jack Harold, the [Whale Hunter], back then.

This is the hall of the gods, featuring golden walls, bronze gates, green lawns, and white clouds, filled with light, glory, and wisdom.

Legends say it is the core of the Gulf Divine Lineage, where the Bayfolk’s Great Secret Treasure is hidden.

Like the Mother of Monsters’ Ark, the Golden Palace’s center has a big tree, supposedly the "World Tree" in Bayfolk legend, and the two seem fundamentally indistinguishable.

Legend has it that the shaft of the [Sure-hit Spear, Gungnir] is crafted from a branch of the World Tree.

However, this World Tree does not truly exist like the Tree of Life before it, but more like the collective unconscious vision projected from the Mad Hunt Deity’s Woden Divine Nation.

And the so-called "Great Secret Treasure" is merely a rune inscription on the tree trunk.

It describes the cause of the previous era’s Twilight of the Gods and the prophecy that the Luanyan Epoch will eventually arrive, urging the Bayfolk to prepare early, swiftly driving humanity to explore the three continents, clearing the "Echidna Triangular Circulation."
