Pirate Kingship

A heart in the chest radiates red light and beats intensely, clearly activating its forbidden knowledge [Core of the Melting Furnace].

Seven or eight arms wield various forging tools, forming a barrier against the shock waves and shrapnel around.

But a cold voice arises, startling him greatly.

"Mechanical Fortress, rapid fire!"

Before he could escape the range of firepower, a second wave of shells had already descended again.

The defense formed by the hammer wind instantly shows flaws.

A deformed arm holding a chisel gets severed by shrapnel, suddenly flying through the air, with the fierce impact also injuring his internal organs, causing blood to ooze from the mouth corners.

Even with the activation of the fire element body, it cannot completely resist the "true damage" of the Sacred Relics.

Demigod blood "drips-drips" onto the ground, forming a small copper mine underground in the blink of an eye.

But neither side of the conflict pays attention to this small divine anomaly manifested by divine rules.

The third round of gunfire follows immediately.

Before this, no mortal’s ranged weapon could harm a demigod, unless the [King’s Military Might] was activated, but this time the craftsman incarnation truly sensed the threat of death from it.

In his chest cavity, the heartbeat sounded continuous, with an unprecedented grand red light emitting from his whole body.

This divine incarnation, even without rationality, instinctively understands that if he doesn’t resolve the ranged units, he might be worn out here today.

Divine Aura erupts like a volcano, meteors fall, the whole person catapults upward, heading straight for Violet and Mechanical Demon Dragon flying overhead.

Byron leaps forward without hesitation.

Daring not to use such technique-less weapons as [Sword in the Stone] and [Gungnir] that might be hijacked by the opponent, he remains barehanded.

The surrounding magnetic field lines are constrained into coils, layer upon layer of air blast rings explode.

With a flash of electricity, ozone fills the air as Byron kicks the forging hammer guarding the incarnation’s head.

A spot as bright as the sun appears, a shock wave surges outward, clearing the gloom over the smelting field.

The dying struggle of the [craftsman] incarnation is interrupted while Byron is again sent flying back by the colossal force.

Utilizing this chance, Violet’s [Rift Whale] space ability activates, easily pulling and folding the void around as if it were a sheet of paper.

Even within the opponent’s divine kingdom, it achieves "space warp" with the Mechanical Demon Dragon, distancing themselves anew from the craftsman incarnation.

The artillery fire of the Mechanical Demon Dragon pours down once more.

The [craftsman] incarnation finally recognizes reality and turns tail to flee.

However, even the ordinary rear-loading rifled gun has a range reaching 12 nautical miles, not to mention the constructed gun tower of the Mechanical Demon Dragon.

Thus, it chases him down, and he cannot escape even by winged flight!

A hundred and sixty shells have just concluded their barrage, leaving the craftsman incarnation charred and broken, arms missing, legs severed, with even the organs in the chest cavity exposed.

Originally resonant like a drum, the heart now dims as if the charcoal fire has burned out.

Maybe just one more round of bombardment will completely take him down.

At this moment, the craftsman incarnation, at the end of its strength, flashes divine light in its eyes and suddenly turns.

In the God Kingdom, Byron and Violet, trailing behind in realizing the situation, discover yet another "Molten Furnace Church" mechanical construct has intruded.

Unlike the previous golden beastman construct.

This one is entirely black, slender in stature, topped with a wolf head, resembling [Wolf God] Anu, likely an agile-type construct by its configuration.

In the moment of spotting each other, the wolf-headed construct charges over faster.

But instead of attacking Byron or Violet, it willingly presents itself before the incarnation.

The craftsman incarnation merely opens its mouth and inhales, and the Fourth Order [Melter Giant] in the cockpit transforms into a vibrant stream of flame, swallowed whole by it.

The dim heart reignites.

The Fifth Order Pseudo-God securing the Immortal Stairway has stable anchoring and autonomy, so it won’t "sacrifice oneself for others" easily, but the Fourth Order has no resistance.

Just then, a mutation occurs.

Not only do the injuries on the craftsman incarnation heal significantly, but its muddled eyes seem to spark a glint of rationality for the first time in fifteen hundred years of decline.

Although it’s just a spark, it’s distinctly different from the eternal sleep continuously being dissolved by the Sea of Origin Matter.

"Is this... beginning to break free from the constraints of its own fire domain divine position to slowly regain reason?"

Byron and Violet’s pupils constrict at the sight.

Byron had heard a phrase from the [Mother of Monsters] earlier:

"In the spontaneous process, concentration tends to diffuse, structure tends to disappear, order tends to disorder, chaos is the ultimate form of the universe!"

Precisely describes the current state of the [Bound Creator], trying to control floods with blockage which also cuts off the connection between the Material World and the outside.

Leading to ever-increasing chaos in the constructed system, causing it to split into angel after angel.

However, there’s a major premise for this statement: "within an isolated system."

Why are there millennium families rather than millennium unified dynasties?

Because the former are non-isolated, able to extract nutrients and order from other systems, whereas the latter are isolated, relying only on themselves.

Therefore, to achieve "entropy reversal," one must break the closed system and transform it into an open system.

Engage in material and energy exchange with the external environment, achieving transformation from disorder to order.
