Pirate Kingship

The hard power is slightly stronger than the Holy Silver Empire across the sea, which is suppressed by the church.

The highest status in the school is the first to the ninth holy pillars, while the remaining upper wizards serve as reserves.

At this moment, since all the major cities, guarded by the upper wizards, are under attack, and even the Kin of the Thousand-Faced Serpent have infiltrated the royal palace’s secret realm, it’s clearly a counterattack from the Desert God System.

The large-scale attacks on civilians within the empire are primarily not to rescue the Gorgon but to mobilize human defensive forces, keeping the Creation Nine Pillars School too busy to explore the Horus Divine Country.

"Cleopatra VII, your ambition to seize the Divine Position of Horus can never succeed, and never dream of ascending to the sixth-order demigod in the Silver Era!"

The rolling swarm of sacred beetles formed a human face in the sky, roaring at the entire royal palace.

This was the conclusion drawn by many churches of the Desert God System after their reconnaissance.

If the Creation Nine Pillars School does not want to die, they must obtain the power to resist the Old Gods before the Spiral Annals descends; as long as they can stop them, it is a victory.

Seeing that insect face appear, exclamations erupted all over the royal palace:

"This is the former Second Holy Pillar Hamna, who three hundred years ago suffered the punishment of Insect Devouring but inadvertently touched the domain of the [Hawk-Headed God] and has long since fallen.

He’s also now the strongest curse spirit [High Priest]!"

"It really is him!"

The upper wizards of various schools couldn’t help but shrink their necks, pulling back their feet that had just stepped out of the palace doors, even Julian, the [Time Merchant] of the Clock Tower School, was no exception.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

This ruthless man was the mastermind who caused the death of the previous Pharaoh King three hundred years ago.

First, he had an affair with the Pharaoh King’s concubine Sosia, and when caught by the Pharaoh King, Hamna turned and launched a surprise attack on the Pharaoh King, inflicting fatal injuries.

Sosia was killed by the guards who arrived later, and he himself could not escape, receiving the "Insect Devouring Punishment" ordered personally by Cleopatra VII, who was then a princess:

"Being wrapped like a mummy and sealed in a coffin full of carnivorous sacred beetles.

Being bitten all over by the swarm, even drilling into the orifices to chew the innards, but because he was already a Fifth Order Upper Wizard, he would never die, continuously being eaten and continuously regenerating, never to be released."

But no one expected that, as an upper wizard of the Creation Nine Pillars School, he inadvertently touched the domain of the dead Divine King [Hawk-Headed God] Horus amidst endless fear and hatred using the sacred beetle as a medium.

Because in the legends of the Desert Empire, it is precisely the sacred beetle that pushes the sun to rise and fall, inherently possessing the sun’s divinity.

Though Hamna’s fall did not shake the [Creation Nine Pillars] nor turn them into cursed objects, he himself became the most powerful curse spirit.

After breaking free from the seal, he further became the incarnation of the Ten Calamities: blood water, lice, frogs, flies, livestock plague, frostbite, hail, locust plague, darkness, firstborn.

Endless sacred beetles are his true form; as long as one survives, he will never die.

At the same time, he is the curse spirit with the most hope of ascending to the sixth order like the [Capricious Joker] in the Corridor of Truth.

The only thing restraining him is the insufficient quantity and quality of the blood sacrifice population.

Now his strongest obsession is to resurrect his beloved Sosia; if he were to join Lancelot and the Pan God, they would certainly have a lot in common.

Forming a... Housewives Enthusiasts Alliance.

"Stand down!"

The [High Priest] possessed the knowledge of both the Creation Nine Pillars School and the Hawk-Headed God, completely unaffected by the suppression of the pyramid’s secret realm, and he did not regard Byron in the slightest.

With a low shout, countless sacred beetles’ black bodies emitted bright light, like countless sharp arrows rushing towards the Bloodline River.

"The enemy moved faster than our own people, [Radiant Queen], what are you up to?"

Byron couldn’t help but frown.

The wisdom of the ancestors told him: "When the ruler is not secretive, he loses his ministers; when the ministers are not secretive, they lose themselves; when affairs are not secretive, harm results."

Clearly, nothing had even started yet, so why did the entire empire already seem overwhelmed?

But he put himself in the shoes of an empire’s emperor to look at the [Radiant Queen], believing that a fool could never secure a throne for three hundred years.

So he decided not to worry about other matters and focus on dealing with the enemy in front of him first.

Before meeting the "peer" who was the only emperor of the true Corridor of Truth, he decided to display a unique skill.

If the [Radiant Queen]’s subsequent performance cannot satisfy him after his work is done.

Then the world’s number one industrial nation’s assistance will no longer fall upon the Desert Empire.

Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!...

The bottom of the Bloodline River suddenly flashed with bright blood light, suddenly filled with frogs as large as millstones.

They opened their mouths in unison, and countless strong and powerful tongues instantly swept a small patch of sacred beetles from the sky.

With a "gulp," they swallowed them down.

Seizing this opportunity, over sixty thicker tentacles than before shot out from the river like an explosion, swiftly wrapping around the [Snake-haired Gorgon], dragging her with them into the Nether River on the other side.

The one who acted was the giant species sea monster: Nautilus Little Snail.

Since the last colonial war, it has been in slumber, undergoing a lengthy transformation, its body swelling to ninety meters, clearly surpassing the giant species sea monster category.

It is qualified to go wrist-to-wrist with the [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Hailding’s [Deep Sea Yama].

"You’re courting death!"
