Pirate Kingship

"That strange thing hasn’t left yet, everyone quickly jump out of the window."

Hearing his shout, the estate guards immediately dropped Colin’s corpse and turned to run.

The [mine slave] who was initially lurking underground immediately burst out of the earth upon seeing the situation.

Instead of pursuing those illiterate commoners, it charged straight at the most delightful target, Wizard Apprentice Derek.

The pungent earthy smell exploded violently, and a bizarre creature formed from iron ore and the twisted forms of seven or eight Black Iron Tribe humans leaped out of the mud as if jumping out of water.

Its giant-like body was adorned with seven or eight huge human heads, countless thick, dark blue arms, all reaching for Derek.

Though it seemed to only be equivalent to Second Order Professional Level, it was still not something Derek, just a First Order Apprentice responsible for errands, could handle.

He was even oppressed by its ferocious aura, causing his legs to give way.

"It’s over!"

One by one, the giant hands grabbed his body like holding a chick, lifted it over their heads with open mouths, and were about to twist him into a pretzel and juice him on the spot.

"Ahhhhh..."

The young man grimaced in pain, feeling his bones beginning to crack audibly.

The estate guards who had already run into the sunlight trembled as they took out their crossbows and flintlock guns, firing at the hideous bizarre creature.

But [mine slave]’s Order might not be high, yet its defense was maxed out, and the iron ore all over its body made its hardness far exceed that of a Heavy Armored Knight.

It seemed as if another tragedy was about to occur.

Buzz——!

The air trembled, and even to the naked eye of the mortals, a golden law network suddenly transformed into a surging tide, sweeping rapidly from the direction of the sea and filling every tiny corner.

The power of the mind spread faster than the speed of light, covering hundreds of kilometers in an instant.

At the same time, a clear and pleasant female voice sounded:

"Decree: Cannibals shall die!"

As soon as the words fell, the previously impenetrable [Bizarre·Miner] suddenly collapsed to the ground, shattering into pieces of rubble.

And all the low-sequence bizarre creatures and evil spirits within this law network’s range exploded on the spot, while a few middle-sequence ones that didn’t die immediately, also fled desperately toward the periphery regardless of the sunlight overhead.

The fortunate ones were already on the edge, successfully escaping.

The unfortunate ones, however, were deeply trapped within the law network, continuously attacked as long as they remained within its range, and unless they escaped within three minutes, they met the same fate as their low-sequence counterparts.

"What is that...!!!"

Falling to the ground with the bizarre creature, Derek disregarded his pain and quickly climbed up to look towards the western shoreline, where it seemed another sun was rising.

The surrounding guards and others who had received the warning and were preparing to take refuge all involuntarily looked up to the sky.

In their eyes reflected the sky, countless bizarre creatures and evil spirits fleeing desperately across the land, along with the warm and brilliant golden law light.

That light had another name, called: "Hope!"

"Is that a miracle?"

"Is a Savior finally coming to rescue us?"

There was no need for Derek to announce it to everyone, as Oak Manor had already been gifted by [Wolf Grandmother] Britney to the far-traveling [King of the Wild Hunt].

Lines of Mind Wish Power automatically merged into the golden law, gradually blending with the collective subconscious of the local populace.

According to the five-tier hierarchy of needs theory, the bottom level is the "physiological needs" like food, water, and above that is the "safety needs" of not dying easily.

Essentially combining the two means survival!

Whoever could ensure the safety of the people of the Eastern Continent could gain the broadest support.

This is the most orthodox Mandate of Heaven for any ruler within the Corridor of Truth.

Whoever can "expel the bizarre, restore human rights," can compare with any country historically known as having a "just country!".

The group of distant visitors who had arrived at the end of the Second Circulation Belt clearly brought some entirely different transformation to this continent.

And with it, a new choice for the future fate.

....

Time rewinds slightly.

"The Whale Oil Mechanic checks the alchemy arrays assigned to others, and exits when the inspection is completed."

On a cliff by the sea.

The battlefield flattened by Byron last night had its dirt and broken wood long since cleaned up, revealing the solid rock layer beneath.

A group of dozens of Whale Oil Mechanics accompanying the army acted together, using materials composed of charcoal, brass filings, spices, gemstone powder, and magically modified olive oil to outline a giant alchemy array on the rock layer.

After finding no issues, Violet waved, and they swiftly withdrew.

The Legendary Mechanic herself then stepped into the pre-arranged position within the alchemy array.

The sea breeze fluttered the soft chiffon skirt, revealing a girl’s calf, as white as fine porcelain, with a light swirling under her feet.

Clap!

With hands clasped together, a subtle electric light burst from under her feet, rapidly spreading throughout the alchemy array.

With the [Gate of Truth] slowly rising behind Violet, the array instantly emitted divine light, its brightness even overshadowing the rising sun of the East.

The rock layer beneath trembled, and a towering lighthouse that seemed pre-constructed was gradually "pulled" out from the rock layer.

"Tsk, regardless of how many times one sees it, the terrifying productivity of High Sequence Extraordinary Beings remains astonishing.

Additionally, whether due to a more active Source Tide, it seems that Violet’s material transformation capability on the Eastern Continent is far easier than on the Old Continent."
