Chapter 1321 - 630: The Key to the Door: 3 God Heirs

The intensity of the battle from the "Deep Dive Church" invading from the northwestern corner of the Ten Great Undersea Kingdoms is no less than that of the "Twilight Church" in the northeastern corner.

"Open fire! Quickly, open fire!"

"Screeeeech—!"

"Awooooo..."

In the thick smoke that even the sea breeze couldn’t dissipate, the sounds of cannon fire, roars, and screams were incessant.

The main force of the Deep Dive Church consisted of a large number of ghost ships drawn from the shipwreck graveyard of Luanyun City.

A small portion of them came from various nations of the material world, but most were from the edge of the world.

After Byron lured the tentacle incarnation of the Kraken and Noah’s Ark to the edge of the world, they seemed to have lived relatively well.

They procured a good amount of quality goods from the Undead World, with a high proportion of Fourth Level battleships.

Apart from the undead controlled by the [Slumbering God] Kraken, all the sailors were from the Deep Sea Clan residing on the large islands of the Corridor of Truth.

They had fish heads and human bodies, half-human half-fish half-frog forms, with a main color scheme of gray-green, smooth white bellies, webbed fingers, and scales covering their bodies.

Their fish eyes bulged without eyelids, with gills on their necks that trembled occasionally, emitting warbling sounds, with a consistently ugly appearance.

Their weapons were varied, featuring swords, harpoons, crossbows, and firearms... basically a motley group of soldiers, not even a match for the undead on the ghost ships who had been dead for who-knows-how-long.

This is the fate of the Deep Sea Clan.

They were originally human, and within about forty years of a typical human lifespan, they were gradually consumed by the God they worshiped.

By the age of forty, only the remnants of their beastly side remained, and even their human form couldn’t be maintained. It was then that they would undergo "Ascension" and transform into the hideous "Great Clan".

In the process, they served as cannon fodder for the sect, passing through the cycle generation after generation.

Only the rare few who successfully awakened their spirituality within forty years could avoid such a grim fate.

"The Fishmen are coming up, let them see who the real master of the sea is!

For the Slumbering God, charge!"

Every moment, the Deep Sea Clan and the fishmen, tainted by cnidarian disease, were perishing together, both turning into corpses falling into the bloody surging sea.

Even when they fought with all their might to kill one enemy, they would immediately be cut down by a second enemy.

Neither side was significantly stronger than the other, or you could say the treatment of all the lowest Ancient God’s Chosen Races was about the same.

The "Blood Tax" of the Twilight Church, the "alternative Social Clock" of the Deep Dive Church, the "biochemical weapons" of the Blood Beast Nest—those at the bottom were all in hell, and every old god still zealously tried to turn the whole material world into this ideal perfect state.

Unfortunately, the small players on the battlefield weren’t worth a glance from the mid-to-high Sequence Transcendents.

The main ghost ships burning with fierce ghost flames were at the forefront, each being a battleship before they sank.

But the fleet’s flagship was not a ghost ship, but a pirate ship with blazing divine light soaring to the sky.

——Legendary Pirate Ship [Pirate City].

The flagship wasn’t crewed by the ugly kin with fish heads and human bodies, but a group of seemingly alive human pirates.

The captain was a robust middle-aged man, wearing a crown, with blue hair and beard, and the characteristic azure eyes of the Bayfolk.

However, his body had clearly undergone several mutations.

His frame was hunched, with a row of fin-like blades on his back, a pair of ragged wings of differing sizes, blue dragon scales covering his skin, and a long dragon tail trailing from his rear.

The crown wasn’t a normal golden crown, but a ring of deformed dragon horns, clearly continuing to fall into the "Beastly side."

This was none other than [Founder], [Bathed in Dragon Blood], [Pirate Emperor], [Blue Dragon King] Reinhardt!

He wielded a [Dragon Slayer Sword Reinhardt] (activated replica) symbolizing the Royal Iron of the North Sea Empire, raising it high above his head, commanding the helmsman and riggers, each at least a Third Order Great Pirate, saying:

"Qiangfeng!"

The pirate ship had no intention of cooperating with the ghost ships behind it. Agile like a lone leaf, it "cruised" against the wind and quickly moved to the upwind position of seven or eight biological warships.

Immediately, Reinhardt spread his palm and slapped it onto the cover of the "Pirate Code," shouting loudly:

"Decree: The Domain of Royal Power unfolds, raise the blood flag, Fury of the Seas, Plunder as Fire!"

Buzz—!

The entire pirate ship and all the pirates were enveloped in a blinding blood hue, then it expanded continuously, dyeing the sky and sea within twelve nautical miles blood red.

The [Legendary Warship·Pirate City] was originally just an ordinary sailing pirate ship, but after being activated and possessed by the "Pirate Code," it logically became the shared vessel of those Great Pirates in history.

Just like those legendary "ship names" that alone carried Fifth Order power, in a moment, this ordinary pirate ship underwent a qualitative change.

Wherever the "Pirate Code" is, there is the "Pirate City."

The legendary warship skill gained was also born to support the "Pirate Code"—the power most representative of pirates [The Domain of Royal Power: Fury of the Seas·Plunder as Fire]!

Wooo wooo wooo...

The bloody sea breeze swept by, making the air on the sea surface ripple for a moment, and a multitude of phantom pirate ships suddenly appeared.

They were the vessels of those Great Pirates, Legendary Pirates who had once sailed them, leaving a bold mark in pirate history.
