Chapter 1222 - 605: Hunting God: Rust Belt, Deep Breath_2
Unfortunately, they had just researched it for less than a hundred years when a Chief Wizard secretly placed his own mummy inside the ship, hoping the school members would work for his benefit.
Moreover, with the Old Gods and the Sea of Origin Matter behind them, it seemed that none of them wished for a second treasure ship, potentially rivaling Noah’s Ark, to appear.
Ultimately, this resulted in this treasure accidentally going out of control and becoming a powerful Cursed Object.
The two largest diamonds in the world that were originally placed in the eyes of the Hawk-Headed God, one representing the Sun’s ’Bright Mountain’ and the other the Moon’s ’Black Orlof’, were also lost as a result.
The Sunship, to reclaim its eyes, killed countless people, long since becoming the loyal hound of the Deep Sea."
Just as Byron thought of this, he saw the Radiant Queen clap her hands again.
Behind her, two Upper-level Wizards of the Creation Nine Pillars School each took out a treasure box, opened it, and placed its contents in her hands.
Immediately, two Divine Lights soared to the sky.
Illuminating a sun and a moon, they instantly pierced through the thick fog in front of them, dyeing the milky white mist into an ominous black-red.
With their appearance, the Sunship, bleeding from its eye sockets, grew more frenzied.
The resonating curse aura among the three intensified, causing all marine life in the nearby sea to feel doom approaching and flee frantically.
They were indeed the two lost eyes of the Sunship—Bright Mountain the Eye of the Sun and Black Orlof the Moon’s Eye.
The former could bring about the downfall of nations; the latter could cause its possessor to commit suicide—both were nearly immune strong Cursed Objects.
No one expected the Creation Nine Pillars School to have collected them all.
Yet the Radiant Queen clearly dared not hold them for long and gently tossed them towards the opposing Sunship.
"Go!"
The two massive diamonds transformed into flowing light, darting into the hollow eye sockets of the Hawk-Headed prow of Sunship Helios.
In an instant, the Hawk-Headed prow seemed to come alive, with the curse power on its body reaching its peak, condensing into a black-red sun over the large ship.
Soon, a high-pitched eagle screech resonated sharply through the harbor.
"Screech—!"
It had long been corrupted and fallen; receiving the Radiant Queen’s "gift," instead of restraining itself, it sought to unleash its fierce power and embark on a killing spree.
But it was stopped by the Cat God Bast, possessing the Authorities of [Music] and [Guardian], with a single meow, blocking the killing afterwave.
The civilians in the city, completely unaware of the supernatural presence, merely heard an eagle’s cry, without suffering any harm.
And the Sunship, upon achieving its wish, seemed to regain a little sense, comprehending the situation of friend and foe before it.
Turning abruptly, it dashed towards the Deep Sea, slipping into a World Rift, vanishing from the Material World.
Evidently, after becoming complete, it had regained the ability to return to Horus Divine Country, just like the previous High Priest, who, upon being startled, first thought of going back to its old haunt.
And for the Wizards wanting to head to the corresponding Divine Kingdom, the simplest way was to follow this legendary Sunship belonging to Horus but really tainted by Him.
Yet, none of the Creation Nine Pillars School’s Upper-level Wizards acted, letting it flee out of sight.
Saranthe muttered a sentence only he could hear:
"The depths of the Sea of Origin Matter are unlike the Intertidal Zone along the coast, constantly changing, and there is no such thing as a navigation route.
Since ancient times, there has never been a nautical chart of the Sea of Origin Matter.
Why directly let go of the only Sunship that knows the way? I thought we were going to sail on this ship to Horus Divine Country."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was smacked on the back of the head by the Cat God perched on his head, scolding:
"Fool, meow~
If we board the Sunship, every move will be sensed by the corrupted Horus.
Although it’s highly probable that He is now a mad entity that keeps splitting apart, there’s no reason to directly confront Him.
Anyway, as long as we have the beacons, it shouldn’t be difficult for our Upper-level Wizards to find the Divine Kingdom’s location.
Once the location is locked, we can go whenever we wish."
In less than a day, the cat owner had already trained the cat slave to react, without hesitation Saranthe concurred with Bast’s opinion:
"Yes, the Queen is right. Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
The [Radiant Queen] could not be bothered with the "flirting" between the two and raised her hand.
In a flash of gold and azure light, each Upper-level Wizard present had a gold and azure metal talisman in their hands.
"This is the [Atmosphere Talisman] crafted with the help of one of the Nine Pillars, the God of Atmosphere·Shu. It not only anchors the Sun’s Eye and Moon’s Eye,
but also allows us to communicate and locate each other in the Sea of Origin Matter, ensuring we don’t accidentally get lost in the Deep Sea."
After introducing the talisman’s abilities to everyone, the [Radiant Queen] turned to look at Byron and, rarely, smiled:
"How about it, Your Majesty the Wild Hunt King?
Even though we don’t have a Law Network here, many Miraculous Objects and tools are unique.
In the depths of the Sea of Origin Matter, without beacons and Law Network nodes, even your [Navigators] would likely get lost, and our witchcraft tools are probably more practical."
"Indeed, the Extraordinary System of the Corridor of Truth does have its distinctive features."
After Byron praised it, he seemed to have thought of something, looked at the [Atmosphere Talisman] in his hand, with a peculiar glimmer in his eyes:
