Pirate Kingship-Chapter 808 - 500: Threaded Lens, Chronicle of Ages_3

With foreign forces backing them, Schindler, who was already at a disadvantage, couldn't even save himself, let alone the Barbary People.

But he didn't want to sit and wait for death.

Besides being one of the first captains, he was also one of Byron's Kin and had emergency contact authorization. Even if he was silenced by the [Seal Fee], it didn't mean nothing could get out.

Chirp——!

A Blood Eagle soared into the sky from behind him.

This was a pet beast made using Bayfolk Black Sorcery called [Blood Eagle's Punishment], crafted after torturing an enemy to death. Its claws tightly grasped a blank list with only Schindler's name on it.

He knew well that his captain had extraordinary insight, and any clue could help him find him. Once they found the [Ocean Throne], there might be hope.

Opposite him, Saint Joseph merely raised a hand, and the Blood Eagle and the list turned to ashes in a burst of Holy Light.

"Seeking help? I'd like to test the abilities of the [Ocean Throne] myself, but it seems this time there's no chance.

Take them all away.

In our eyes, there are no civilians and women and children; all those appearing at the border are 'pirates'!

Men are pirates, women are pirates, the elderly are pirates, children are pirates, non-Barbary rescue workers are pirates, and anyone daring to sympathize with them is also a pirate.

Remember, we are undertaking the righteous cause of eliminating pirates."

Saint Joseph was very satisfied with cutting off the last hope of these hunters with a flick of his hand and didn't bother to investigate what exactly the Blood Eagle was carrying.

Little did he know that the list was made of sugar cane paper.

The moment Schindler signed the list, it was already pre-arranged as a distress signal, selectively appearing on a page of the [First Level Holy Relic: Key of Omniscience].

...

Early the next morning, Byron saw the blank list on the [Key of Omniscience] and realized he had lost his connection to his Kin member, Schindler.

He immediately appeared in the collective unconscious sea as [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor, standing on his lighthouse.

Now Byron was racing towards the Fifth Order, and this lighthouse had reached nearly 18 meters, towering like a giant compared to the other lighthouses around.

Coupled with powerful anchoring distributed across the world, even while serving as [Lamplighter] for both "Silvergold Island" and "Chasm Trench," the lighthouse remained rock solid.

The light emitted from the lamp room at the top of the lighthouse shone over hundreds of kilometers, dispelling vast areas of darkness and filth across the Sea of Origin Matter.

When Byron first joined the Lighthouse Sequence, he gained this lighthouse of his own, with the right to illuminate others.

Now it had become the largest and tallest among a vast region, silently sheltering other sequence structures from wind and rain.

Farmhouses, fortresses, holy temples, tribunals, arenas, graveyards... countless.

Along the coastlines to his left and right, thousands of lighthouses were scattered, like twinkling stars.

Each lighthouse represented a Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinary, forming the first line facing the black ocean known as the "Sea of Origin Matter."

There were towering, majestic towers with beams as bright as the sun, and newly born short lighthouses whose faint lights symbolized the unyielding hope of humanity.

The [Silver Law] network overhead connected everyone, creating the only bright spot in this dark sea.

The stark contrast between light and dark deeply moved the heart.

"This is the psychic dam of the human race.

'Humanity supreme, honor belongs to the collective' has never been empty words.

From the Silver Era onward, generations of predecessors have built this stable continent in the Sea of Origin Matter through continuous effort.

No matter what the Creator's original intent was or how skewed the Church's wayward clerics have recited it, they have made significant contributions to humanity.

However, now the Sea of Origin Matter is rising more fiercely, and it's uncertain how long this dam, built to 'block,' will last."

Byron looked down at the sea, the water blacker than the night, swirling and gradually swallowing the light in the sea of human collective unconsciousness.

Some low reefs were already gradually submerged, proving that the "Intertidal Zone" had truly arrived.

"Unfortunately, I don't yet have the power to affect the entire world. I should first resolve the issue of missing Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinarys.

If a large number of Lighthouse Sequence Extraordinarys are lost in a short time, even this 'Deep Sea Defense Line' encircling the human collective unconscious will develop gaps."

He reached out and moved an anchor chain connected to the lighthouse, communicating with the largest lighthouse on the entire Deep Sea Defense Line—the marvel of civilization, the [Zero-Level Sacred Relic: Pharos Lighthouse].

His body instantly became ethereal, and the next moment he appeared inside that colossal lighthouse, facing Navigator Delia from the Golden Deer.

This platinum-haired girl had already paved the way for Byron in advance, and she curtsied with a smile:

"Captain! Father is waiting for you; please follow me."

Having only followed Byron out to sea once, she successfully advanced to the Third Order, and her parents relaxed many of their restrictions, at least allowing her to wear something other than the monotonous black robe all the time, and her personality became much brighter.

Led by Delia, Byron met her father, who's on duty—one of the Vice Chairmen of the Lighthouse Union, the Fifth Order Legendary Navigator [Starfire] Rudolf.
