The witch thought I am a Demon God-Chapter 532 - 312: Corrupt Law and Nutcracker_1

Seven warships manned by six hundred 12-pound cannons. Each volley could rip the sea apart. The rain of cannonballs impacted the minions of the second stage Black Death, causing them to let out giant, mournful cries that echoed throughout Sunken Ship Harbor, heard by all the pirates nearby.

In front of the cannon rain, a giant eye revealed itself in the middle of the bird’s skull of a second stage Black Death minion. The center of the eye was filled with a viscous black substance, giving the impression it had been soaked in a toxic syrupy liquid.

"This is something that’s never happened before. Is it the New Law? Unseen before and so bizarre, the Law’s so fragmented and yet still existing, so chaotic. What is the point of its existence if the place it governs will inevitably be in anarchy?"

"However, there have been many new things born in the last two hundred years."

An expression of deep thought crossed Ivita’s face.

The Black Death minions of the second stage seemed to tap into deeper collective memories within the plague of the Black Death itself.

But as this plague was of the Law’s level, it was uncanny, not knowing from where it originated.

From the feathers of the giant wings of the second stage Black Death minion’s body, sprang little black monsters, half-human, half-dog.

Additionally, from the air itself, matter at par with the Black Death was transferred, bolstering the half-human half-dog creatures emerging from the back of this second stage Black Death minion. The monsters’ mouths started sprouting larger fangs, and their backs began to grow spikes dripping with venom.

The second stage Black Death minion vibrated its wings. The little creatures, springy as black balls, were ejected towards the seven warships and the Lebanon Traveler Gunman Squad.

For a moment, everyone was in danger, fighting the little black creatures falling from the skies above.

The venom from those creatures was utterly poisonous, carrying a dangerous virus that could infect anyone punctured.

The second stage Black Death minion bellowed: "Even though the new law emerged two hundred years ago, the corruption here is so deep. The people of this country have been poisoned by corruption, the country itself infected with the toxin of corruption. When the corruption reaches a certain extent, the Black Death will come on time."

"The Church, the Frankish! The Holy Gold Rose Empire, Champagne, and Brandy people! we will meet again. Amidst the vast corruption of this pirate world, a Black Death plague will be born, larger than any previous scales."

"In..."

Two of the seven warships were sunk by the little Black Death minions, and the other five risk sinking as well.

A grim look crossed over the face of Bikini Man, Kakector.

Meanwhile, Ivita revealed a contemplative expression. It appeared that the emergence of Black Death was associated with the corruption of the country.

Based on the words of the second stage minion, the more corrupted a place was, the worse the Black Death could be.

But if a country could become corrupt, could Law also decay??

Could it be that the real origin of Black Death originated from the corruption of the ancient civilization’s Law? No wonder, just a few people getting infected and turning into Black Death minions and merging together could put the mighty pirates of Sunken Ship Harbor at an absolute disadvantage.

Dealing with one of these second stage minions was manageable, but if tens or even scores of them emerged, they might indeed have the power to wipe out the country. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Ivita said to the Hearthstone Witch at his side, "A centralized country fears corruption the most because corruption represents centrifugal forces. The stronger the centrifugal forces, the more the corruption; conversely, the more the corruption, the stronger the local centrifugal forces."

"In the late era of the ancient civilization, with chaos running rampant, the Black Death was born from the corrupted part of their Law."

"However, I have yet to truly witness the corruption of Law. Therefore, this is all just speculation."

"If this is the case, the demise of the ancient civilization must have given birth to even more chaotic origins, with this Black Death being but a part of it."

The Hearthstone Witch said to Ivita, "Your Majesty, look, the pirates of Sunken Ship Harbor have sunk one more ship, leaving only four left."

"And that Bikini people’s squad, despite severely damaging the second stage minion several times, it was able to recover to its original state in an instant. I suggest we make our escape."

"Anyway, they’re here slowing it down, and we’ve already obtained the Sword of Thunder King. It’s a bountiful gain for us. Why should we care about the life or death of these people?"

Ivita shook his head, "I still have a way to deal with it. There’s no need to leave now. I feel that the Black Death isn’t that simple. If there’s a second stage, then there’s bound to be a third, fourth..."

"The corruption of Law, really interesting..."

’Boom~’

’Clang~’

From one of the remaining four heavy ships, a section three artillery piece, named Volcanic Cannon, was fired. The cannon erupted like a violent volcano, shooting a shell that exploded upon the body of the second stage Black Death minion, blasting away more than half its body.

Governor Rolof’s face beamed with joy. "The Volcanic Pirate Group is here! Not for nothing are they the major pirate group. They do have some capabilities. Well done!"

Ivita shook his head. "You’re celebrating too early."
