Chapter 254: Luck Always Accompanies Him

Chapter 254: Luck Always Accompanies Him

Secret!

The secret authority of the Goddess of the everNight!

Ince Zangwill quickly guessed the reason for this scene. Previously, 008 had mentioned this point and even suspected that Hastur Campbell was a favored one of the everNight! goddess,

Now it seems that this possibility is very high!

Of course, there is another possibility: Hastur Campbell has some relationship with the King of the Five Seas in front of him, so he pretended not to notice anything?

Ince Zangwill had many guesses in his mind, but he did not choose to stand up and expose Hastur's identity.

He quietly remained an observer.

No one else came out of the cabin. Nast looked towards the cabin, and the entire Black Emperor suddenly flashed with black light. The black light turned into a net, completely covering the cabin.

Then, under immense force, the entire cabin turned to powder, leaving only the bare deck of the ship.

Some people always think they are smarter than others, believing that as long as they hide, nothing will happen.

After dealing with those smart people, Nast's gaze returned to the seven extraordinary individuals he had pulled out, "Give me a reason to let you live."

"I believe in the Lord of Storms. Aren't you afraid of offending the Storm Church on the sea?"

"Foolish."

nast gave him an appropriate evaluation. With a light touch of his finger, the person's body began to rot, starting from his feet.

He could still wail, but only wail. In front of the King of the Five Seas, his power was too insignificant.

In the end, a neat skeleton was left on the deck.

"Honorable King of the Five Seas, I am willing to join your fleet and become your blade on the sea."

"Your heart is not sincere."

nast also gave this person death, leaving another neat skeleton on the deck.

"I, I am willing to offer all my wealth, just to ask the great King of the Five Seas to give me a way out."

"Your wealth is too insignificant to me."

The painful wailing played out again.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ince Zangwill and another extraordinary individual became the last two who had not answered the question.

Standing on the other side, Hastur held Azshara, with a slight smile on his lips, looking at the two familiar faces opposite.

Ince Zangwill and Morey Abraham.

The situation had become clear. The person who had provoked Nast earlier was among these two.

Hastur personally believed it was Morey Abraham, a follower of the Fallen Mother Goddess, always crazy and terrifying.

For Ince Zangwill, who wanted to escape to the southern continent, he would not do anything to attract Nast's attention.

"It's your turn."

nast's tone was unhurried, not worried at all that they could escape from his hands.

"When I decided to act this way, I knew I had no way out today. It is too difficult to escape from the powerful King of the Five Seas."

Morey Abraham spoke, but his eyes were fixed on Hastur, with cruelty and madness in his gaze.

"Wise King of the Five Seas, there is something you might not know?"

"Standing opposite, classified by you as an ordinary passenger, Hastur Campbell, he is a follower of the Stars!"

"He is also an extraordinary individual, and he is on the same extraordinary path as you!"

"He will surely be your mortal enemy in the future!"

Morey Abraham directly revealed Hastur's identity, his words urging Nast to kill Hastur.

Ince Zangwill, expressionless, was secretly pleased. He also did not want Hastur to remain uninvolved, but he did not dare to offend Hastur unless absolutely necessary.

Now, someone had done what he always wanted to do but did not dare to do.

"Follower of the Stars..."

nast's face showed slight emotion. His gaze fell on Hastur, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you really a follower of the Stars?"

"They all think I am."

"I indeed misjudged."

nast took a deep look at Hastur, then looked at Morey Abraham, "This news is not enough to save your life."

"Yes, I know."

Morey Abraham nodded, smiling, "I am ready to face death. I just want to know how the King of the Five Seas plans to deal with a deceiver, especially one who is a follower of the Stars."

nast's lips curled into a smile, "Naturally, I will make the follower of the Stars my honored guest."

"What!"

Morey Abraham was shocked and stunned, but before he could say more, his feet began to rot, revealing a skeleton as white as snow.

Soon, a complete skeleton lay on the deck.

Seeing this scene, Ince Zangwill's pupils contracted slightly.

He was glad, glad that he was not the one who stood up to expose Hastur's identity.

Indeed, luck always accompanied this Earl Hastur Campbell from Backlund.

This was clearly a dangerous encounter, but under the protection of fate, the King of the Five Seas not only had no intention of harming him but also wanted to make him an honored guest.

Such treatment was in stark contrast to his own miserable journey.

"Only you are left, the traitorous archbishop."

Named by Nast, Ince Zangwill sighed, "There is no conflict of interest between us. Why force me to a dead end?"

"You threw yourself into my net."

"..."

Ince Zangwill was silent for a while, then said, "I am willing to offer a gift for today's offense."

"What gift can buy your life?"

"I can help you find a way to advance to a higher sequence."

nast smiled without speaking, slowly shaking his head.

He was not unmoved, but he did not believe Ince Zangwill could help him achieve this.

To advance from Sequence 3 to Sequence 2, the first step was to pledge allegiance to a true Black Emperor or a king with a complete kingdom system.

Then become a duke, recognized by the kingdom's people.

Finally, he must possess a Sequence 2 extraordinary characteristic.

This was the most difficult part. Currently, only in the capital of the Ruen Kingdom did such a powerful extraordinary individual exist.

And he did not dare to approach Backlund.

High-level extraordinary individuals of the same sequence were mortal enemies. If he approached Backlund, he would definitely be hunted by the Ruen royal family and used to strengthen their power.

"I learned a secret in Backlund. The current Duke of Southwell is the illegitimate son of the former Duke of Southwell."

Ince Zangwill threw out another piece of news. He had learned many secrets of the Ruen royal family through cooperation with the Witch Sect.

"The former Duke of Southwell..."

nast's eyes narrowed, falling into a memory. He was the King of the Five Seas, and the former Duke of Southwell was a ruthless hero guarding Southwell. They had crossed paths many times.

If it weren't for the Ruen royal family's help, he would not have been surpassed by him.

nast suppressed his memories and curiously asked, "Do you have the ability to scheme against a ground angel?"

"That is my secret."

"Give up your secret, and you can leave alive today."

nast's gaze was piercing, ready to strike with all his might.

"Must you force me to perish with your crew at sea?"

Forced to a dead end, Ince Zangwill's deep blue, almost black eyes, were filled with a dark void, with dense patterns forming strange and twisted symbols.

Ince Zangwill revealed a part of his mythical state.

At the same time, he took out the 008 Alersuhod Pen, fully alert to Nast's possible attack.

On the sea, in Nast's domain, he had no hope of victory, but it was not difficult to drag a group of people to die with him.

Especially since Nast's crew, including his first mate, second mate, and third mate, were all here.

"This pen is very peculiar. Its origin seems significant."

nast sensed the extraordinary nature of 008 but could not discern its true origin.

"This is my greatest reliance on this journey."

Ince Zangwill gripped 008 tightly, ready to use its power to leave.

"Is that so?"

nast still chose to strike. The sky instantly darkened, pulling Ince Zangwill into the spirit world.

In the empty spirit world, Nast stood alone on the bow of the Black Emperor, with no crew around.

Ince Zangwill reacted quickly, holding 008 and swiftly writing on his sleeve: "Ince Zangwill is in excellent condition today, able to effectively control his mythical creature form, so he decides to go all out and leave here!"

As the last stroke of 008 fell, his waist and ribs swelled and wriggled, growing four arms covered in blood vessels, soon covered with white feathers.

At the same time, Ince Zangwill's teeth elongated and sharpened, embedded with many blurred, tiny faces.

Finally, Ince Zangwill transformed into a strange creature with eight legs covered in white feathers, lying in the void.

This was a combination of the powers of night and death.

It was also the manifestation of Ince Zangwill's strongest power.
