Chapter 206: Promoted to the fourth level! Hidden profession [Deep Sea Devourer]
Chapter 206 Promoted to the fourth level! Hidden profession [Deep Sea Devourer]
Under the shining of thousands of stars, amid the calls of many pirates.
Xia En sat on the throne in the center of [Ten Thousand Ships Island].
But the next moment.
The pirates' voices suddenly stopped, and the entire island fell silent at an extremely fast speed.
Soon, the surroundings became so quiet...
People can even hear their own heartbeat and breathing.
From extreme noise to extreme silence, it took almost only two or three seconds. This should have been an incredible thing, but at this time, no one among the pirates cared about such a trivial matter.
Their attention was all attracted by a figure appearing next to Xia En.
His snow-white beard, old face, and slightly stooped figure are no longer as tall and tall as they once were.
Strangely, he wore a crown that he rarely wore today—it was a crown of kings made by top craftsmen when the [Pirate Principality] was established.
But maybe it was because he hadn’t worn it for too long, or maybe it was because the king was getting older. When the crown was put on his head, it no longer seemed to fit well, and it was actually a little crooked.
However, no one of the pirates present dared to despise him for this.
Just the opposite.
Almost everyone felt a stronger fear in their hearts than when they faced Xia En.
This awe comes from the past decades of rule, from the afterimage that always charges forward, and from the victorious maritime battles.
That is the real king of the [Pirate Principality]—
Augustine!
Seeing him, the pirates' hearts were in their throats.
In their view, Augustine would definitely take action against Shane, who attempted to usurp the throne, and then settle accounts with others.
Furthermore, looking at Augustine's condition, he is just a little old and has not suffered any serious injuries.
In this case, isn't Xia En bound to lose?
Even though the pirates have seen Sean's strength, the fear of Augustine seems to be engraved in their hearts.
—They would repeatedly test Augustine, who was suspected of being seriously injured, and were extremely afraid.
Faced with Augustine in his prime, they even lacked the courage to challenge him.
Huiyun sighed and said regretfully.
“It’s over now, John will probably be executed on the spot by Augustine.”
He also did not think that Sean could survive Augustine's hands.
But what happened next made everyone’s eyes widen——
Facing Xia En who was sitting on the throne, Augustine not only did not get angry, but instead showed a pleased smile, almost speaking in an approving tone.
“You did a great job.”
“I couldn’t do this when I was your age.”
“You have proven to me that your possibility, even if it is still weak, is enough for me to place my hope in the future.”
While saying this, Augustine slowly took off the crown on his head.
The next moment, his tone suddenly became solemn and solemn.
“I, the captain of the Black Sails Fleet and the founder of the [Pirate Principality], now, in the name of Augustine... crown you!”
“You will become the new king!”
“Please lead people towards the future you describe!”
For some reason, when Xia En heard this, his heart felt like it was hit hard, and he felt a rare feeling of tears filling his eyes.
He knew very well the pride in the old man's heart.
Shane understood better that Augustine crowned him not for him alone, but for the future that he said would expel the gods, and for the world to no longer be destroyed and destroyed at will.
For this reason, the old man is willing to put aside his pride and hand over the crown to him.
When the crown was placed on Xia En's head, Xia En suddenly felt that the whole world seemed different.
He seemed to hear many voices and feel many emotions.
These sounds and emotions are so real and so close.
It is like there are countless threads passing through this crown and connecting to him.
Those are the citizens of the [Pirate Principality].
Their awe, envy, fear, and jealousy all turned into some invisible force that washed over Xia En's mind.
Fortunately, this impact only lasted a very short moment.
Xia En calmed down, raised his head, and happened to meet Augustine's eyes.
He suddenly understood what Augustine wanted to say—
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
The process of fighting the gods is bound to be difficult, and this burden is bound to be heavy.
Xia En said to himself: "The future is bright, but the road is tortuous."
At this time, Augustine suddenly smiled and said: "Sure enough, you are even better than I expected."
“However, there is still one thing you didn’t do your best at.”
Shaan couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is it?"
“There are more than two apostles who betrayed me.”
As Augustine spoke, he stretched out his big hand in a direction not far away.
In that direction, stood the Wind Queen and the Third Apostle Tiffany.
Fenghou suddenly let out a scream of terror, and his body suddenly dispersed into countless blue hurricanes, running away in all directions.
But in Augustine's hands, these hurricanes completely lost their previous sharpness and strength, and were held into a ball by him like well-behaved sheep.
Finally, return to the shape after the wind.
Feng Hou suddenly vomited blood on the spot and suddenly became a little depressed.
Moreover, her legs and arms were all limp, and it was obvious that several bones were broken.
However, what Augustine really wants to deal with is not Feng Hou, but Tiffany standing next to her!
Under the crushing force of the invisible force, the air around Tiffany suddenly tightened and became extremely solid.
Had it been another secret traveler, I am afraid that he would have been crushed so hard that his bones would burst into pieces in an instant, and he would have fallen to the ground and died.
But beside Tiffany, there was a barrier of telekinesis that firmly protected her from being crushed by the huge force.
The situation is different from that of being killed directly after the wind.
This layer of mental barrier appears to be extremely strong, barely equal to Augustine's strength.
This phenomenon immediately shocked the other apostles.
This means that Tiffany is hiding its own strength!
And when fighting against Feng Hou, he still did not use all his strength!
Combined with Augustine’s words, the identity of the last traitor is already clear.
However, the apostles could not figure out why Tiffany, as the third apostle, betrayed Augustine?
According to rumors, didn’t they have a relationship that went beyond friendship?
Hui Yun who was watching was also shocked: "Among the twelve apostles, there are actually traitors?"
“Or Tiffany?”
He looked to his side, wanting the man in the white coat with a single-sided spectacles to analyze the situation for him.
But when I turned around, I saw that the white coat had disappeared.
"Where did he go?"
…
…
In the field.
Under heavy pressure.
Tiffany's expression was unusually calm, and she just asked curiously.
“When did you find out?”
“I should have never shown any flaws.”
Augustine said calmly: "You did play Tiffany very well, but playing... is just playing after all."
Before he finished speaking, the invisible big hand tightened again.
Click!
A clear crack appeared in the barrier that enveloped Tiffany.
Obviously, Augustine wanted to crush the barrier and Tiffany directly!
He can do this.
Because...he is Augustine!
But at this moment.
A figure in a white coat suddenly appeared next to Tiffany.
The man said with a smile: "Mr. Augustine, why are you so angry?"
"I think we can actually have a good talk." Seeing this man, Xia En's pupils shrank sharply.
Single-sided glasses, suspicious appearance of a researcher... Such distinctive features immediately reminded him of a man mentioned by the Queen of the Sea Tribe and Joey.
A name comes out of your mouth.
“…[Undertaker]!?”
Hearing this, the white coat glanced at Xia En in surprise.
“You actually know this name?”
“However, it is only one of the names I have used.”
“At least in this slice of history, I prefer the name [Observer].”
A slice of history?
【Observer】?
Xia En frowned slightly and had many questions in his mind.
But now is obviously not the time to get to the bottom of things.
Augustine beside him seemed to have expected the appearance of the [Observer], and said: "Did it really come out?"
“You worms eating history!”
"The replaced Tiffany is the anchor point for your smuggling, right?"
【Observer】 grinned: "As expected of Augustine, even if it is just a copied projection, he has such a profound understanding of us."
Xia En’s heart skipped a beat.
If this man spoke out the essence of the promotion ritual so brazenly, wouldn't it have any impact on other pirates?
Xia En turned to look at the others, but was surprised to find...
The faces of the pirates were full of confusion, as if they had not heard what the [Observer] was saying at all.
In fact, when the words of this white coat fell on their ears, they turned into a kind of noise that was simply incomprehensible.
In other words, this is a shielding sound used to protect the personalities of these projections.
Only the trialists who participated in the promotion can understand it.
Augustine obviously didn’t want to talk nonsense with the [Observer] anymore, and his big hands suddenly tightened.
Immediately afterwards, the space around the [observer] was directly blocked and shattered.
This time, it is no longer the squeeze from the air.
Rather, this space was controlled by Augustine. It turned into an indescribable weapon, launching an attack on the [Observer] and "Tiffany".
—The ability that Augustine truly mastered was the power of space!
Surprisingly…
Just when this destructive force was about to spread to the [Observer]’s body, the air around him turned into...
A mess of code?
That’s right, it’s gibberish!
Countless chaotic, indescribable and weird words are constantly emerging and entangled.
The chaotic flow of light and shadow, like a mosaic, obscures the bodies of the [Observer] and Tiffany.
It also makes it impossible for the terrifying power of space to cross this layer of mosaic and really harm the two of them.
Even Xia En saw this strange phenomenon for the first time.
At the same time, the voice of [Observer] continued to sound from the mosaic.
“Augustine, why bother?”
“We [Truth Society] have always been sincere to you.”
【Truth Society】!
Shane was not surprised by the name.
Such a scene filled with a sense of dissonance can only be achieved by people from the Truth Society.
If you compare this promotion ritual to a game copy, the [Observer] in front of you is like a BUG in the copy.
Enter a certain "invincible" state and will not be affected by external attacks.
“Wait, stow away...”
Shaan suddenly remembered a word Augustine mentioned before.
“Perhaps, it’s not a BUG, but...an alien virus!”
In Augustine’s words, [The Will of the Secret Sea] is an extremely large, sophisticated, and absolutely rational machine.
Then naturally some people will think of using this machine to achieve some unique purpose.
“The worm that eats history…”
“Could it be said that the purpose of the [Truth Society] is to collect real historical data and information from this promotion copy?”
“But why do they do this?”
Xia En only felt a headache.
So far, he still doesn’t know what kind of organization the [Truth Society] is.
They don’t even understand what the “truth” they are pursuing is.
At this time, Augustine continued: "In my opinion, you are not much better than the apostles of [Huisi Ming]."
“The gods they believe in are just to satisfy their own desires, and there are still traces of their behavioral patterns.”
“But the existence of your faith…is madness itself!”
"shut up!"
In the mosaic, [Observer] said coldly: "Augustin, do you have to force me to destroy this projection of yours?"
Augustine was undaunted: “Then come and give it a try!”
“[The Will of the Secret Sea] should be coming soon, right?”
The atmosphere instantly became tense, as if there was a big mountain pressing on everyone's hearts.
The confrontation between two top strong men will make the weak tremble even if it only exists in their minds.
But soon, [Observer] smiled and said, “That’s fine, this time, I’ll count you as the winner.”
“However, I did not lose.”
He turned his head in the mosaic and looked at Xia En.
“I finally remembered, it turns out...you are the one chosen by that woman.”
“No wonder it’s so interesting.”
“Don’t worry, we will meet again soon!”
When the [Observer] was about to leave, Xia En suddenly spoke.
“[Observer], do you remember a siren named Diana?”
Hearing this name, [Observer]'s expression suddenly became uncertain, and he murmured.
“What a familiar name…”
“He is...a person who cannot be forgotten! But why can’t I remember him?”
"why why…"
In the process of trying to remember, the garbled code around the [observer] is like a blowout, and the chaotic light and shadow jump and flow wantonly, and the trend is becoming more and more intense.
Such anomalies have obviously attracted the attention of [The Will of the Secret Sea].
At the next moment.
A vast and majestic consciousness has arrived.
Soon, a ray of light lit up in front of Xia En's eyes, drowning everything around him.
Before being overwhelmed by the light, Shane saw Augustine smiling and waving to him.
At this moment, he seemed to be no longer a pirate king, but just a kind elder saying goodbye to his descendants.
He said softly: "The future will be left to you."
Subsequently, curtains of light quickly fell, which was the settlement page of Xia En’s promotion ritual.
