Pirate Kingship

"Your husband, Ptolemy XIV, probably wouldn’t agree to such a thing, would he?"

Yet, a barely discernible pink divine light flickered in the eyes of the [Radiant Queen], settling upon him as she nodded with absolute certainty:

"Because you are a strong man, one especially suitable for having a child with me!

As for Ptolemy XIV? It’s the two of us who will bear children, what does it have to do with him?"

As she spoke, two illusory coffin divinity pillars appeared behind her once more, one side represented Isis whom she personally presided over, the other Osiris.

The former naturally resonated with the Radiant Queen, while the latter, without Byron having learned the corresponding Black Sorcery of the Creation Nine Pillars School, flickered in sync with his breathing rhythm.

Between the two coffins, divine aura pulsated vigorously, seemingly trying to seize the opportunity presented by the truth embodiment to co-create something extraordinary.

The déjà vu Byron noticed when he observed the similarity between Osiris and his own authority grew increasingly intense.

At that moment, the Sailing Logbook also displayed the information obtained from the Radiant Queen, which was precisely the source of her "certainty" she spoke of.

The title ability of [World’s Foremost Beauty] was peculiar, named: Strong Man’s Standard.

"In this world ruled by strength, beautiful women are a scarce resource, and the most beautiful women are the rarest among rare resources.

Some say that if there were no women in the world, most men would not be able to spend all the money they earn themselves, and without the opposite sex, marriage, or descendants, they naturally would not strive and toil.

Naturally, among all those who strive, only the foremost strong men deserve the most beautiful women in the world.

[Strong Man’s Standard] allows the Radiant Queen to see clearly who is a strong man, or who has the potential to become one, and to intuitively understand their character and ability, positioning herself to be their woman when they first stand out.

Like a high-level golden eye.

Thereafter, she and her chosen strong man would mutually achieve greatness, the closer their relationship, the higher their fortune, spirituality, and world consciousness’s attention.

Once an heir is born, the effect reaches its peak and completely solidifies, making it a simple matter to create a child of destiny.

And as the woman of a strong man, she herself could rise along with them, becoming a General’s Wife, a Queen, or even a Goddess Queen is not impossible.

And upon ’divorce,’ she can take away half of the other’s wealth or authority."

If an ordinary trophy woman wished to leverage this title ability to achieve something, she would need to keep seeking strong men among the opposite sex, using their strength to elevate her own status.

Those with sharper hearts might abandon their original partners once they’ve achieved a leap in their status and access to better male resources, climbing to even greater heights.

Taking away half of the other’s wealth or authority, gifting it to the next man.

To an ordinary woman, such things are a dream, but to the "World’s Foremost Beauty," everything is possible.

However, Cleopatra VII considers this mighty title ability to be prejudice against independent women like her.

Therefore, even though she had two marriages, she was extremely indifferent to her "husbands," who were neither strong men recognized by the title ability nor deserved her intimate relationship.

She regarded them as just slightly better than strangers, never having truly triggered any abilities.

Yet she also avoided the intense negative effect brought about by the title ability:

"Her own will would grow weaker and weaker until she became a dodder unable to survive without support."

After Byron finished reading the description, an image automatically appeared in his mind: Strong Man’s Standard—Yan Ying.

Except, the [Radiant Queen] before him made different choices than another Strong Man’s Standard.

She only utilized the first half of the ability, excavating talents with potential for the Creation Nine Pillars School.

She attached herself to no one but elevated the school to a qualitative transformation through three hundred years based on previous foundations.

Leaving behind Inti, the [Sun God] from across the sea who ruled the Sun Empire for over a thousand years, by a significant margin, although the latter has begun to break through, it’s unclear when it might explode.

Byron couldn’t help but genuinely admire her.

He didn’t hastily agree or immediately refuse but instead asked meaningfully:

"Radiant Queen Your Majesty, what you truly need isn’t a child, but a ceremonial medium to digest the power of the Desert God System, is it not?"

The [Radiant Queen] clearly gifted with extraordinary talent, the moment she embodied the character of the [Papyrus River Flower Snake], she outshone any dancer trained from birth in allure and seduction.

The white jade toes playfully flicked a wine vessel, causing a shimmering line of wine to land in her mouth, her cheeks flushed, her breath filled with sweet wine aroma as she responded:

"Is there any difference?

Your Majesty the Wild Hunt King, you are unlike those mundane, wasteful ones; your identity dictates you, like me, can never compromise with the Old Gods.

So, I am willing to be sincere with you and set everything on the table.

[Creation Nine Pillars], given the prefix ’Creation,’ means they possess corresponding authority.

At the moment truth embodiment fully manifests, they can create an immense domain on par with the Desert Empire out of thin air in the Netherworld, surpassing an ordinary demigod’s divine kingdom at once.

Within the school, they refer to these domains as the "Upper Desert Empire" and the "Lower Desert Empire," akin to mirrored two sides—one the realm of the living, the other the underworld."
