Time flew by, and Riverst seized the entire island, purging all the traitors. Everything was as magical as a dream.
He often felt like he had become a slave to the Crystal Crown, having to find ways to consume its ever-increasing gold coins every day.
He didn't know how the so-called calamity and punishment would come, but he had a bad feeling about it.
"You seem confused, Dark Sea King?"
Inside the castle hall, a woman in a white robe walked in, ignoring the soldiers.
Rivist sat in the head of the household's seat, filled with curiosity about this uninvited woman.
Is it an evil god? Or some other calamity? A transcendent being who can reach the shore! Ha!?
"It seems I have displeased you. It is certainly impolite to come uninvited, but isn't it equally impolite to repeatedly refuse my letters?" The woman in white raised her hand and fired two lightning balls, sending the soldiers rushing from both sides flying!
“Letters?” Riverst recalled a pile of letters that the servants had thrown away a few days ago when they were sorting through the trash.
What era are we living in?! Who writes letters now?!
"Okay, I accept your apology. Who told you to be so handsome?" the woman said nonchalantly.
Wait a minute...!? I didn't apologize!
"Let me introduce myself. I am the witch who chases the crown of oaths, Hesei Ig. You can call me Ig." Ig bowed slightly in greeting.
She was really mysterious, and she started talking to herself about some kind of world rules.
She said that every world has a unique supernatural power, which can also be called the power of rules.
When the power of the rules is gathered to a certain degree, it will transform into a crown. The crown has its own consciousness and will autonomously choose the crown holder and share its power.
Interestingly, some worlds have the same rules, but only one crown can appear at a time. The next crown will only appear if the previous one is destroyed.
And Riverst was the first crown holder of the Oath of the Crown!
His relationship with Eli touched Crystal Crown, and over the years, it responded to Riverst's call.
Revenge and self-improvement are the benefits bestowed by the Crystal Crown, but afterwards, the crown holder must fulfill their obligations...
"To ensure our own survival, to ensure the world is not destroyed, and to ensure our own kingdom lasts forever," Igor said with a smile and a nod.
"But behind the power there are also loopholes in the external rules, which is the punishment mentioned in the Crystal Crown Contract. It is a calamity that you cannot stop. If you cannot complete the contract, the calamity will come unexpectedly."
"So please do as you swore, at least Crystal Crown is really helping you."
Igor said, "I know you're confused right now, having gained power but lost everything, but I can tell you."
"I foresaw your future, smiling as you walk across the universe with Eli, your parents blessing you, the ghostly behemoth floating in the void..."
"!!!" Riverst instantly stood up, drew his sword, and pointed it angrily at Igor!
You're fooling me!
Igor calmly raised his head, his eyes displaying ever-changing colors, like the starry sky.
“You are one of the few kings who have seen the truth, and you are the only one who can stand against the Black Crown. I have seen your success, but I cannot see your failure.”
"I don't know what the world will do to you this time, but if I can, I will help you move forward, because that is my purpose."
"When you have everything and no longer need the Crystal Crown's help, hand it over to me. This is a deal, just as... your contract states!"
...
He agreed to the deal with the witch, and he had some faith in the future she had planned.
She knows a lot of things, everything about Crystal Crown!
“You need to keep the contents of the Crystal Crown Contract a secret; its disclosure will lead to your downfall,” Igor repeatedly reminded him in the days that followed.
Every night, she would tell him wonderful stories from other worlds, offering comfort during his hard-earned days when he had spent all his gold coins.
When talking about witches, she said that every true king, crowned ruler, has a witch assisting him.
They each had different personalities; some were timid, some were shrewish, and some were lazy and indifferent to the king's actions.
Igor was probably the most diligent of them all; she was always tirelessly reminding Rivist.
But it was precisely because of her urging that his power began to expand little by little, and he also found enjoyment in it.
The island where the Griffin family lives has been developed into the world's largest seaport, with thousands of ports operating simultaneously, receiving pilgrimages from all over the world.
His fleet, with its inexhaustible supply of enchanted weapons, tears through the seas; instead of killing the losers, they guide them toward the Griffin family's port.
They will receive free gifts from the Dark Sea King there!
No one can resist such a windfall!
More and more caravans began to flock to the area, drawn by the rumors, praising Rivist's greatness and transporting these free gifts.
“Everything seems so easy, but this might not be the time for you to let your guard down,” Igor said as he barged in one night.
She said, "An evil is coming. The power of the Black Crown has begun to transcend the boundaries of the world. The Crown Slayers are coming!"
That was the first time Riverst learned that there existed a nemesis of crowns in the world... the Black Crown!
It was a crown that did not actually exist, and its prophecy seemed to have suddenly intruded into the witches' meeting, eroding all the worlds like a virus.
Just as every crown has its own prophecy, the Black Crown also has its own prophecy, which foretells the tragic end of every king!
At first, the witches paid no attention, until one king after another died, one crown after another shattered, and the witches who accompanied the crowns rarely survived.
They began to take this "virus," which was likely caused internally, seriously! A witch had betrayed the council!
They began to abandon the meeting, each retreating into their own worlds to secretly nurture their own kings, but...
"The Black Crown is coming, but unfortunately my body is too weak. I may not be able to offer you much help. You will have to rely on yourself." Igor patted Riverst's head.
"In this world, in every world, the champion is the supreme chosen one of the world. Your talent far exceeds your imagination."
“I will guide you, and at the same time, you must believe in yourself. A king will not be afraid of setbacks. Even if there is a bottomless abyss ahead, you will have the thought of leaping over it!”
"As long as you want to do it, success is one step closer to you."
Igor doesn't possess many abilities; her body is derived from the innate power of a small island, a mad power that enchants the bones.
While she could do the same for Rivist, the upper limit of that power wasn't very high.
