CHAPTER 502: CHAPTER 384: AUTHORITY: DIVINITY STRIPPING!

However, at this moment, no one on the entire battlefield could spare any attention for what had become of the Twins of Light and Darkness, those who were not good enough to succeed but more than capable of making a mess.

WHOOO...

As hundreds of Ghost Battleships, swallowed by the "Touch of the Kraken," returned to the real world, the sea area was suddenly filled with ghastly lights and howling cold winds.

Between the tall masts, tattered bloodstained sails flapped loudly in the storm.

On the deck, skeletons, corpses, and ghosts aimlessly wandered about, swords and knives in hand.

There was a sailor who carelessly dropped his eye on the deck, but did not forget to pick it up and stuff it back into his socket, turning the eye that had been placed upside down and continuing his patrol, unconcerned whether he was seeing the deck or his own skull cavity.

The very few Mid-Sequence Transcendents who still retained their self-awareness laughed heartily, making a sharp, grating, and terrifying shriek like metal scraping,

"GA GA GA, to think there would come a day when we could crawl out from the belly of an Old God.

Touch of the Kraken, Deep Dive Church, I will make you pay in blood!"

"AOOH—!"

A pandemonium of demons.

The already heavy clouds in the sky hung even lower, and the sailing ships’ huge masts, towering dozens of meters tall, seemed as if they could touch the clouds.

In the pouring storm, the entire ocean grew colder, chilling to the bone whether it was the humans of the Colonial Fleet, or the creatures of the sea and the Deep Sea Clan.

"TAK TAK TAK..."

Even though they had long since moved away from The Golden Deer to avoid the core battleground of "wrestling with the gods," both enemies and allies couldn’t help but chatter their teeth together.

These Ghost Battleships appeared weak and insignificant in the eyes of the domineering Blue Dragon King.

But in front of others, the mere words "Undead Creatures" were enough to strike fear before the battle even began.

The sight of eyes falling out and being stuffed back in, and intestines doing the same, was excessively grotesque.

And so, this bloody and corpse-strewn battlefield fell into a long, deathly silence once again due to the emergence of the Ghost Battleships.

No one could tell if they were friend or foe.

The Ghost Battleships might detest the Old Gods and the Deep Dive Church that had once killed them, but in most cases, they were enemies of all the living!

Just like the White Ship in the first nightmare, out of every ten Ghost Ships adrift on the sea, eight were mindless Evil Spirits that knew only slaughter—bizarre and grotesque.

One simply could not judge their intentions with human thoughts.

Until... a slightly crazed shout came from the Blue Dragon King,

"Who dares to be so reckless here? Don’t you know I am made of glass?

If you accidentally shatter me, can you afford the compensation? Stand down!

Decree: Step onto the deck with the left foot first, and the death sentence will be executed immediately!"

Byron looked up at the massive warship in front of him, a smile creeping onto his lips. Even his uncle’s voice, when ill, was this comforting and soothing.

A huge weight fell from his chest, as if shedding a heavy yoke, and his entire body felt light.

I thought last October was a final farewell. This year, after Violet fortuitously obtained news of the Blue Dragon King, and after months of meticulous planning, we have succeeded today. As long as the people are here, home is here. How wonderful!

At this moment, the "fishing lines" connecting to him had automatically detached, and the golden column of light above his head quietly disappeared, with the storm clouds closing once again.

Only the Deity Masks on their faces, still coating their bodies with a golden edge, remained as regal and commanding as ever.

Luanyun City beneath the waters, on the other hand, showed no further reaction.

The corpse of the Old God, though unreasonably strong, had one advantage: it was never angry and void of all emotions.

Even though it lost this tug-of-war, it did not fly into a humiliated rage, its true form never bursting out in a mad killing spree.

Of course, even in extreme anger, Its true form couldn’t squeeze into the Material World.

The Slumbering God, by leveraging Its Dream-Power Ability, might have been closer to the real world than other Old Gods, but Its body was still immersed in the Primordial Ocean outside of the world.

To interfere with the Material World, It still had to rely on the Deep Sea Clan acting as Its tentacles.

Though the ship’s castle was tall, Byron and the others, standing on The Golden Deer and looking up, couldn’t see the deck of the Blue Dragon King.

But Divine Sight, akin to a god’s perspective and void of any blind spots, captured everything happening on the deck.

"Madman! That glass-delusional Mad King is having an episode again!"

The Twins of Light and Darkness were each hung high by an invisible force rope around their necks, slowly squeezing the air from their bodies.

Even though these Mythical Creatures had long since not needed to breathe through their mouths and noses, their faces gradually turned crimson and then purple under the power of the rules.

From the depths of their throats came the CRUNCH, CRUNCH, CRUNCH of breaking bones.

Clearly, Henry VI, even if a madman, was still a formidable one who hit particularly hard.

The professional path of a Law Mage of the Tribunal Sequence was: analyze rules, utilize rules, and break rules.

From the Second Order all the way to the Fifth Order Kingly Title, the core professional ability was always Decree, but the restrictions would become fewer and fewer, while the power grew increasingly higher.

At the Second Order, this required studying statutes; only when the laws of one’s own country were violated could one strictly judge according to those statutes.

At the Third Order, they gained discretionary power and no longer needed to recite statutes. If they deemed an action reasonable, they could enforce Decrees according to their own thinking, even establishing it as a "precedent" that Low Sequence judges could quote.
