Chapter 708: The Divine Evil
After confirming this, Angel immediately had the idea of entering the "mirror world" and leaving the "Black Emperor".
Is this the "trap" Bernadette mentioned? Has Nast teamed up with the "Rose School"?
Sensing the gradually growing aura of fear that awakened her heart, Angel looked towards the "King of the Five Seas" who organized this pirate conference, and found that his face with tough lines and sparse black beard also had a puzzled expression.
It doesn't seem like he's pretending. He didn't know that the "evil god" would appear on this deserted island?
She looked at the other sea kings and found that Bernadette was lost in thought, her hand already touching her waist pocket; the agent of the "Undead King" seemed to have merged into the shadows; the "Black Apostle" Krieberg seemed the most panicked, holding a talisman the size of a playing card, with a crystal clear, almost transparent appearance; the "King of the Black Throne" Barros Hopkins... where were the others?
Angel looked around, wondering whether this old man, who seemed to be unable to move, was hiding in the corner through psychological invisibility, or had found some way to return to his ship.
"You should leave as well. It seems we can only discuss the matter of the 'Ghost Empire' next time."
Nast whispered, his words commanding obedience, and then he stood up from his high-backed chair, which was like a throne, and strode towards the door.
He seemed to have distorted the distance under his feet, and in an instant he was next to Angel and Anne, facing the dim sky outside the door.
Only with their flagship and the many extraordinary subordinates on board can the pirate kings exert their strongest combat power. Even an angel like Anne can only show her full strength when she is on the "Queen Anne's Revenge". Therefore, Angel immediately pulled Anne's arm, and the latter entered the spiritual world the moment the two touched.
Bright colors flashed before his eyes, and the next second, Angel appeared on the deck of the "Queen Anne's Revenge" again. The surrounding walls and the ceiling above his head turned into a dim sky and a turbulent sea.
Deep in the fjord where several ships were docked, on the other side of the towering extinct volcano, half of the sky turned a deep black as if covered by a black curtain. A vortex surged inside, and dark clouds and fog were quickly sucked in, as if something extremely terrifying was brewing.
The aura that Angel was somewhat familiar with emanated from there, covering the entire island.
"What's going on over there? Something strange happened in the sky a few minutes ago, and there was a commotion among the other ships..."
Elaine, whose red hair was disheveled by the suddenly strong sea breeze, approached Angel and asked in a low voice.
"Remember the battle outside Bayam City? Those guys are here again."
Angel replied with a wry smile.
If she was not so sure before leaving the Black Emperor, she no longer had any hope after seeing the strange phenomenon in the sky.
The "divine evil" Su'a must be coming for her.
The evil god "Mother Tree of Desire" is unlikely to come here in person, and the leader of the "Rose School" Sua can only project part of his power here. Although this is the worst case scenario, it did not exceed Angel's expectations.
"Let's leave."
She turned and said to Anne.
The latter first looked worriedly at the "Dawn" which had already weighed anchor and was sailing away from the sky where the abnormality appeared, and then nodded.
Under her control, the hull of the "Queen Anne's Revenge" flashed with a faint green light, and its connection with reality quickly weakened, and it entered the corresponding position in the spiritual world.
This was reflected in Angel's eyes as he stood on the deck. The surrounding environment was like turning off and on the lights. After a moment of darkness, it turned into large, gorgeous blocks of bright colors, and the ghost ship under his feet floated in this illusory space.
But unlike the previous spiritual world travel, the surrounding spiritual space at this time was already swirling with violent airflow, whistling irregularly, and the layers of colors in the distance that should have extended to infinity became dim, and a sticky black seemed to emerge from it, enveloping a not-so-wide spiritual world centered on the "Queen Anne's Revenge".
The "evil god" Su'a can actually interfere with the connection between reality and the spiritual world, restricting Angel and others who can leave this place through the spiritual world to here!
Anne was the one who realized this faster than Angel. The ghost ship she controlled suddenly leaped forward for a distance and returned directly to the real world not far from the sticky black barrier in a way that would only be used in an "emergency".
Precise control allowed the hundred-meter-long black ship to land steadily on the sea, and the black obstacle in front of it had disappeared. Perhaps as long as it moved a certain distance along the coast, it could enter the spiritual world from outside it, break free from its restraints, and escape quietly.
Even a Sequence 1 Angel would have difficulty stopping an angel fleeing at full speed... Just as this thought occurred to Angel, she was interrupted by a spiritual warning. Following the warning, she looked towards the side of the ship and discovered that during her brief spiritual journey, she had arrived in the direction from which she had initially approached the island. Not far in front of her was the pier where most of the Pirate Conference's ships were docked.
But at this moment, covered by a midnight-like black sky, the lively revelry on the dock had been replaced by a bloody and horrific fight. Various types of pirate ships beside the pier were either ablaze with masts like torches, or sat sunk in place. The waves almost surged onto the deck. Countless corpses, oozing dark red blood, were splashed by the same-colored seawater and drifted towards the beach. Every surviving pirate was frantically attacking others with weapons and extraordinary abilities. Flames, frost, explosions, and roars appeared alternately, embellishing this hellish scene.
In the sky, pitch-black raindrops continuously drifted in the vortex in the center of the black curtain. As they suddenly fell onto the chaotic battlefield below, the ordinary pirates who had luckily survived grew gray-black wolf hair, their mouths cracked, and blood-red saliva dripped. The corpses with horrific death expressions slowly crawled up and picked up their weapons again, and the bodies of the out-of-control Beyonders became illusory, as if they had turned into ghosts.
The only bright color on the black dock comes from a translucent bridge that runs through the battlefield. It is composed of tiny starlights and leads directly to the "Future" with rune symbols flashing all over its body not far away. A group of people on it are running quickly, fleeing towards the magical giant ship that represents the hope of life.
Angel recognized the "Admiral of the Stars" Cattleya, who did not forget to maintain the star bridge while running, recognized the "Lieutenant General Dusk" who was wearing heavy armor, with her arms raised, blocking the black raindrops with the light of the morning sun, and even the "Lieutenant General Iceberg" Edwina who used the simulated power of frost to create an ice surface to catch the black rain that escaped the net, and was a little flustered.
None of them dared to look up at the black vortex, and they just ran wildly. But even so, these pirate generals who had not yet entered the high sequence and could not use their own divinity to resist the erosion of the "divine evil" aura still staggered, their faces pale, and the exposed skin on their faces and hands was sprouting with wriggling buds, as if they were about to form deformed tiny arms or tongues.
Before Suea arrived, he was about to kill all the pirate generals participating in the pirate conference with just a trace of breath leaked from the vortex above his head.
"Chaos has dissipated here, and order has come."
A clear voice came from beside Angel. Anne raised one hand, her golden eyes flashing with a reassuring light. With her as the center, invisible power quickly spread out, and countless dark golden symbols and magic signs radiated out, disappearing into the void as they scattered.
The chaos on the dock and the black raindrops in the sky came to a halt under the law proclaimed by the golden power of order. The pirates who had not yet been transformed into werewolves and ghosts by the power of the evil gods fell to the ground one after another. The out-of-control extraordinary people stopped roaring and were about to break through the obstruction of the "Guardians" and "Mystic Masters". The black raindrops falling on the star bridge even turned directly transparent, brushing against the pirate generals' skin that was about to mutate, allowing them to return to normal.
But the star bridge created by magic that challenged the order began to dissipate from both ends. The "Future" that was so close seemed out of reach. The figures on the bridge stepped on empty air and fell into the surging sea below.
call--
A swirling gale suddenly appeared, enveloping some of the people, lifting them up and throwing them onto the deck of the "Future", while the other half were pulled by invisible silk threads and rolled onto the bow with their limbs stiff like puppets, avoiding the raindrops that had turned black again.
Hal Constantine, "Vice Admiral of the Deep," was he the "Singer of the Seas"? He hadn't expected Tracy to come to the rescue... Angel watched as the pirate generals helped each other board the "Future." Then, the runes and magical symbols on the ship's bulkheads, decks, and masts glowed brighter, forming a shield of brilliant starlight, sealing out the black raindrops that could corrode the ship and mutate people.
The warships that had lost their captains, such as the "Golden Dream" and the "News", were further away from the chaotic dock and had not been affected by the black raindrops. However, Angel still found that the sailors who were struggling to maneuver the ships away were also disturbed to varying degrees by the aura of the "divine evil", and their efficiency was greatly reduced.
There was no time to care about them at this moment… Angel pondered, evaluating the next course of action for himself and Annie.
Leaving this place immediately was undoubtedly the most appropriate choice. The "evil god" Suea was coming towards her, and once the target disappeared, he would most likely leave. However, if the spirit world shuttle of the "Queen Anne's Revenge" was blocked again, Angel would face the dilemma of fighting this "evil god" who was likely to be Sequence 1 alone with Anne at sea.
If she stayed, the pirate kings on the other side of the island might come to support her. At least Bernadette would probably come. If she could take advantage of the situation and destroy the vortex that hadn't yet formed...
Angel made a decision immediately and looked at Anne beside him. The latter understood her contractor's choice in an instant after their eyes met, and her golden eyes locked onto the vortex in the black cloud above.
All the guns on the deck seemed to come alive, crawling back to their mounts, loading their ammunition automatically, and raising their muzzles high, aiming at the shadow that was about to take shape in the whirlpool, like a giant's arm.
"A fool who does not belong to this era..."
As Angel unabashedly bowed his head in prayer beside Anne, golden beams of light burst out from the large-caliber artillery, focusing in the center of the black curtain in the sky, like golden rays piercing through the darkness.

Backlund, 160 Böklund Street.
Klein, who had been busy all night last night and successfully helped Sharon and Maric steal the mummy of "Tutanthes II", yawned as he took the thick envelope from the headless messenger Renette. He put away the other party's reward, a pile of familiar-looking gold coins, and watched the messenger return to the spiritual world. Before he had time to open the letter, he heard the voice of a woman praying in the illusion.
It was Angel... He didn't bother to read the letter and hid in the bathroom. He immediately came to the gray fog palace belonging to the "Fool" and skillfully pointed to the crimson star representing the "Queen".
After just one glance, Klein's expression changed drastically. Even through the gray fog, he could still sense the terrifying aura that had nearly caused him to lose control.
