Pirate Kingship

The nine main cities built along the Suocao River are scattered at various distances, but when the Divine Light shines, they clearly form a standard pattern of "Nine Stars in a Row."

Byron’s pupils contracted.

"This is..."

Two years ago, he personally witnessed another Nine Stars in a Row.

Silent, he continued to watch.

Standing behind [the Radiant Queen] is Isis, one of the Nine Pillars, also known as [Goddess of Life, Magic, Marriage, and Fertility].

Through Byron’s Divine Sight, he sees the second main city closest to the Royal Capital, where Osiris appears.

This fictional deity holds powers similar to those Byron controls, encompassing [Royal Power], [Netherworld], and [Creation].

In myth, Osiris was an enlightened Pharaoh King who was tragically killed by his jealous brother, the Desert God Seth, but was revived as a mummy by his illegitimate son, [Wolf God] Anu.

He became the master of the Underworld and the Judge of Death.

He is the bestower of civilization, Pharaoh King, King of the Underworld, known as "Neb-ertcher," meaning "King of the World’s Edge."

In the Creation Nine Pillars School, Osiris and Isis are respectively the father and mother of [Hawk-Headed God] Horus, the Old God King.

It’s like a face-to-face confrontation.

Thus, although there are other deities of higher status, this couple is the most crucial weapon against the Desert God System, and key in the serpent swallowing the elephant!

At this moment, the Crystal Skull [Death God] in the hand of the Radiant Queen suddenly lights up.

Using it as a medium, illusions of the Nine Pillar Gods rapidly descend into the collective unconsciousness of the Desert Empire, transforming into nine luminous anchor chains shooting towards the sky.

"This is... Demi-God level Great Power?!"

"Is the embodiment of the Creation Nine Pillars about to succeed?"

"Not good, it’s a trap, run!"

The kin of the Desert God System also sensed something was wrong, quickly turning back to flee.

The next moment, across the entire Desert Empire, a significant portion of the voluntarily emerging kin found themselves in freefall, opening their eyes to find they had fallen into the nearest stone coffin.

Here, it’s boundless, with no way out.

Soon, their powers, blood, and spirituality are all completely absorbed by the mummies in the stone coffins.

Just like when the Lancaster Family was emptied by [Touch of the Kraken], those kin suffered heavy losses in an instant.

Including some unfortunate Fifth Order Pseudo-Gods.

With just this, the Desert God System suffered a substantial injury.

Byron instinctively recalled the bloody blood sacrifice during the birth of the [Golden Law] at the "God Killing Banquet," anchoring the law into the collective unconscious via the Nine Stars in a Row.

Though the rituals differed and were imperfect, the essence was the same.

"High Priest Hamna guessed correctly, the Creation Nine Pillars School is truly just one step away from birthing [Truth Embodiment]."

Moreover, the scheme of that Radiant Queen should not just be advancing to the Sixth Order Demigod.

What a grand plan indeed."

The other stunned individuals gradually regained their senses.

The more intricate the plan, the harder it is to execute; a single error could lead to utter failure.

[The Radiant Queen]’s actions were not complex, but clear in hindsight.

Utilizing the advantages of [Truth Embodiment·Inheriting Nine Pillars], which had already started to transform in quality, yet unknown to outsiders, she set a trap to massacre the Desert God System.

Even if the High Priest didn’t flee, after suffering heavy damage and power loss, they could possibly be wiped out by the burst of power from the [Creation Nine Pillars].

Leveraging a same-source blood sacrifice, she advanced her promotion ceremony significantly.

The assembled individuals looked at [Radiant Queen] Cleopatra VII, their eyes filled with awe.

For others, ascension to Demigod requires three prerequisites: "Eternal Divinity," "Condensed Divine Position," "Divine Country Dimension Upgrade"; for her, none are needed.

She only needs to, after devouring numerous Desert God System kin, continue supplementing resources, consuming one or two Old Gods, to naturally complete the process.

Far closer to Sixth Order Demigod than anyone present!

Progressing faster than [Sun God] Inti of the neighboring Sun Empire.

After the killings, [Radiant Queen] casually clapped her hands and instructed her attendants:

"Let the banquet begin, all distinguished guests must be hungry."

And so, music and dance resumed.

The banquet was only slightly delayed, without further discussion on the "Hunting God plan," yet the guests were already brimming with confidence.

As long as they secure a Demigod level support before the Old Gods, they stand a chance to launch a counterattack, pushing the kin back to the sea.

However, after the banquet, which lasted until late into the night, ended.

Byron, who was about to rest with Violet, was stopped by an attendant, saying the Radiant Queen requested his presence.

Without thinking much, Byron let Violet return first, and followed the attendant to the chambers of the Radiant Queen.

He didn’t see the Pharaoh King, nor any accompanying personnel, and the guiding attendant left hurriedly after closing the hall doors.

Standing alone, waiting, was [World’s Foremost Beauty], who, seeing his arrival, suddenly removed the cat-shaped mask from her face, revealing an incomparably beautiful face.

With a commanding tone, she uttered words that made Byron’s heart leap:

"Your Majesty the Wild Hunt King, I... want a child."
