Chapter 252: CCLII. Calamities of Kings

The setting sun was blood-red, dyeing the clouds a crimson hue, while the ocean surface shimmered with a faint red glow.

On the deck of the new ship, the Daffodil.

Liszt leaned against the railing, a small table before him with a firearm resting on it.

He spun the firearm, which rotated a dozen or more times before stopping, its barrel pointing back at him.

Haywood seemed tense, but he was still worry-ridden and under immense pressure; Taylor’s intimidation had indeed subdued him.

The authority of the East Sea King was not to be violated.

He spun the firearm again, and still, it pointed back at him.

Fen noticed his worry, as all the imminent dangers were about to erupt together, making them hard to withstand. The plan had already been made; success depended on human effort while the outcome was left to fate, and now all that was needed was a bit of luck.

"Ding!

Strongest Pirate System activated!

Sending beginner’s package to personal space now!

Reward: One thousand years of cultivation, current stage: Nascent Soul Stage.

Includes All Mother Qi Cauldron, Linglong Pagoda, Heavenly Control Bottle."

It was eerily strange.

Liszt narrowed his eyes and turned his head, only to see Rein was the one mimicking a neutral mechanical voice, faking it.

"Do you really believe I’d kill you?"

Liszt was speechless.

"Killing, it’s really joyful, huh."

Rein was cultivating in his own way, pretending to be happy. He needed to rediscover his initial passion and the charm of competitive sports.

"What the hell?"

The meaning was unclear to Liszt.

"Isn’t there such a concept, no matter how skilled you are in playing ball, even causing natural phenomena, as long as you find joy in playing, you can defeat any enemy that could blast a star and achieve an invincible state. As long as you think killing is fun, fighting is fun, without vying for fame or profit, and spontaneously finding it interesting, you’re then unbeatable and can win the national championship."

After a silence, Rein added, "I call it the ultimate flawlessness, Mada Mada Dane, Pressure MaseNe."

With that, Rein stepped into the realm of Land Immortal, creating the technique of ultimate flawlessness.

Fen was dumbfounded, and Little Rein, generally known as Echizen Ryoma.

"God damn national championship, now I understand."

Liszt had no mood for Rein’s nonsensical talks, but since everything that could be done had been done, all he could do was wait for tomorrow night.

He spun the firearm on the table again, now aiming it at the gangway.

Wolman thought it necessary to come and find Fen and talk about Fafna’s situation, bringing her along in a small boat to the side of the Daffodil, securing the boat with ropes before climbing up the rope ladder onto the deck.

Given his size, the ropes creaked, and then he appeared with Fafna.

"Nice new ship."

Wolman had heard about the purchase; with increasing crew, indeed more ships were needed.

"Why did you bring her here?"

Perhaps it was Fen’s illusion, but even with a suppressing limiter around her neck, he felt a stronger intense energy than before.

Wolman described what had happened earlier; how Fafna had consumed the Red Crystal and made terrifying progress.

Additionally...

Wolman experimented a bit, and Fafna turned out to be able to eat anything, even metal ores were no exception; she had blinged out a few metal cups, indeed a real goddamn consuming spree.

Liszt was as baffled as one might be when trying to read the heavens.

Fafna’s appetite was always horrifying; she never grasped the concept of being full, only stopping when she grew tired of the taste, akin to a child’s pickiness.

How had he not noticed something so crucial earlier?

Maybe he wouldn’t have to wait years, or even until he was old and dead, for this young Dragon to rapidly mature?

She could grow to cover ten miles, shading the sun, and dominate not only the East Sea, but the entire world with whatever mystical abilities she demanded.

With her wings spread out, the world would plunge into chaos.

Fafna, the world-ending force, a shadow over all kings, a disaster from ancient times, devouring and sinking the land.

Liszt hugged Fafna’s head and attacked her with his stubble.

"Ah... it hurts!"

Fafna’s face was uncomfortably squeezed.

"Sister Faf, when did you arrive?"

Liszt couldn’t let go, pinching Fafna’s face and then wildly ruffling her hair, "Exactly right, sis! Now that Marcus has been divine-summoned by the Dragon Lord, who knows what will happen next. If you don’t step up, uncle here will be riding in a black luxury car."

Despite Fafna’s rebellious teenage demeanor, her appearance was that of a busty young girl around sixteen or seventeen.

"Stop playing! An adult should act like one!"

Fafna, frustrated, scolded him.

Liszt still had three Red Crystals, which he promptly took out.

Fafna’s eyes sparkled with stars; to her, these were the tastiest things, reminiscent of giant, seedless pomegranates with the juice of a thousand pomegranates in a single one—a real earthly delicacy.

Liszt pondered the ten Purple Crystals he had saved from Lostra, initially intended for a train robbery fund but never used.

He took out all the Red Crystals he had from Mika, Morison, and Meredith for cultivation purposes.

Fafna immediately abandoned the idea of washing them and proudly began showing off, popping three Red Crystals into her mouth one after another, each crushed by her teeth and crisply swallowed.

Liszt felt a pang of financial pain; Dragon Lady had consumed the equivalent of eight hundred Golden Dragons in a day. He had bought two ships, the Dawn Breaker and the Daffodil, both together not exceeding this cost.

"How do you feel?"

Liszt asked anxiously, counting on her to tear Doringger apart, dominating the Western Continent.

"I can’t take it! I’ll punch the Western Continent into pieces!"

With the three Red Crystals eaten,

the limiter Fen gave her burst open, the Ether Gemstone shattered into countless fragments dispersed by the wind.

Fafna’s true, breathtaking beauty was revealed—her youthful, ethereal appearance was unmatched, her silver hair shimmering as if washed over by the Milky Way, the Dragon Scales at the edge of her eyes, and the Dragon Horns on her head exuded a celestial aura, as if she descended from the stars.

Still wielding the Frost Descent Technique, she released it towards the sea.

The scene was terrifying, a winter-like chill descended, the temperature around plummeted, ice wildly spread, freezing the sea around the Daffodil for dozens of meters into drifting ice.

Wolman sneezed, his cold tolerance always poor.

But the vigorous Fafna seemed to have unlimited energy, this consumption barely affecting her.

This power that had accumulated inside her, the Red Crystal she had devoured was slowly being digested, her strength growing increasingly stronger, only Fafna knew that if she were to reveal her true form, she would now be nearly ten meters long.

"Shatter! Break to pieces! Cheers!"

Fafna began to use the basic Ice Cone Skill, condensing a dark blue, extremely cold ice cone in her hand, a frost mist subtly spreading across the deck.

Then, with an exaggerated pitcher’s gesture, she threw it fiercely at the frozen sea surface.

Bang!

The booming noise was deafening; the ice shattered, throwing up a gigantic splash of water over ten meters high, its force stunning, droplets splashing onto the faces of Black Sail’s core members.

Liszt swallowed; the big job in Londen City was certainly worth it.
