Chapter 553: 182. It exploded

Celeste had already contacted the personnel of Holy Spirit Church in Heaven Port via radio.

After negotiations,

The conditions were simple. Given that Black Sail had a strong presence in the East Sea, they were qualified to negotiate. Fafna was considered a shared asset, and Black Sail had a stake in it.

The destination for this training, Mulong, was off-limits. Fafna was not allowed to go there. However, if they insisted, they could continue staying in Mulong, but Black Sail would have to compensate based on the multi-party alliance’s investments.

"What the hell are they afraid of? So, they call this risk-free travel training? The Holy Spirit Church seems tough on the outside but is useless inside. No wonder they got taken down. I’m not afraid of any risks, it’s just that these people are too stupid. If Lostra thinks the same way... you guys are not worthy to hang out with us.

Rein was extremely arrogant, having kept this treasure hidden for almost a year. If it didn’t show its capabilities soon, it would be a waste of Marcus’ death.

Wolman also agreed, and Celeste needed Wolman’s stance not to change as an ally of Black Sail. Indeed, Fafna could not just be kept sheltered; she needed to be trained.

Lostra also agreed that Fafna should stay in Mulong for a period of time. Thus, it was a tie, with the opposition being the Holy Spirit Church, some nobles within Beima, and anti-imperialists within Aran.

But considering the comprehensive strength of the opposition, they barely held the balance.

Fafna stayed.

"Alright! Grilled Aran people, my favorite."

She was extremely fond of the landscape of Mulong, which was completely different from the East Sea Domain. Dreya had mentioned a magical scenery, and finally one was unlocked.

"Very well. But you all came here prepared, these two guys... hold on, why are you here?"

Wolman’s pupils widened in shock. Wasn’t this the same Magnus who was immune to Liszt’s Emperor’s Skill and seemed destined to die soon?

Damn, he really turned into a Living Dead.

Magnus no longer had the arrogant spirit he once possessed, looking disheveled and completely despondent, as though he had been severely traumatized.

"No way... I remember you were going to kill Zote, right? What’s going on?"

Rein asked Garscek, feeling a bit irritated by this haughty Big Car, but he didn’t want Fafna to handle this, as she was even more erratic than himself.

Garscek truthfully recounted the events from over ten hours ago.

Rein inhaled sharply.

Holy shit, although they didn’t involve Fafna in the Doringger battle, she still showcased her world-shattering power while rescuing Taylor, totally annihilating everything in her path.

Now you’re telling me that a team with Big Car and Black Sail’s spirit inheritor, with their combined prowess, still couldn’t handle a mere remnants of the past dynasty wielding a kitchen knife?

Hey, Magnus, what are you doing!

Having lost all hope for revenge, his life now had no meaning. Seeing a short knife on a side table with fruits, he immediately picked it up, prepared to end his life.

"Don’t do Rashomon-level stuff."

Rein quickly subdued Magnus, saying, "Even if we take ten thousand steps back, and you want revenge, Zote’s an old man, much older than you. Wait twenty or thirty years until he’s in the ground, then piss on his grave, that wouldn’t be a bad idea."

If Magnus were some lowlife from Heaven Port, Rein wouldn’t care, enjoying the show instead. But this guy had risked his life to get him and Sharon out of Black Rock City, and then went solo to a dangerous meeting. Ten thousand miserable pirates couldn’t match his way of living.

"Just leave me alone."

Magnus thanked Garscek and Fafna, prepared to leave this rock fortress, fully realizing that the insurmountable chasm was merely survival, and his existence had no meaning.

"Stop right there! If you’re leaving, leave your Mechanical Arm as a souvenir! Hmph."

Fafna greatly favored Magnus’s Mechanical Arm.

Magnus darkened his face, unscrewed the shaft connected with a nut, and removed the Mechanical Arm, tossing it to Fafna.

Rein instinctively hid his left hand. Damn, his left arm was embedded with brutal punishment by Pedan’s people, and removing it would ruin more than just his forearm. The whole arm would need to be torn off, making him as disabled as Magnus.

Fafna happily played with it.

"This way, there’s a person on Liszt’s side who is exceptionally skilled in martial arts. You could seek him out to learn, maybe you could defeat Zote."

Seeing this, Celeste decided to control him mentally since Liszt didn’t manage to do so before. This individual seemed troubled by some unresolved issue and wouldn’t find peace until he personally killed Zote. She had to address his pain points and align his actions.

"Is that so?"

Magnus was skeptical, considering pirates less reliable than a Highland Wolfman.

He ignored Celeste.

Just as he was about to leave to find a secluded place to end his life.

Suddenly...

He stared at the knife handle that had inherited his father’s blade, which, forged from Ancient Divine Steel, had shattered in Salt Lake, sinking to the bottom.

He suddenly remembered.

At Liszt’s place, there was still half remaining. Was this some kind of sign, that matters here were not yet resolved?

He temporarily abandoned his suicide thoughts, deciding he had to go find Liszt.

Rein was shocked. The person who was immune to his Emperor Transformation Technique was now swayed by Celeste! Liszt must have secretly injected some Immortal Emperor essence and Original True Understanding into this investigator.

"Additionally... who the hell is this woman, damn it!"

Rein finally noticed a mysterious girl in the corner who hadn’t uttered a word. She was dressed in what looked like a purple ceremonial robe, was incredibly young, clearly not an adult, still a high school girl, a typical Mulong beauty with Persian cat features, fake eyelashes, and slight freckles that added to her youthful charm.

"I’m... I’m sorry!"

The girl bowed ninety degrees, apologizing as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I don’t know either, Fafna saved her for fun."

Garscek saw a woman sunbathing nearby. The lounge chair was large, so he lazily lay down beside Sharon, quite at ease.

She had been introduced to a new world by Dreya.

Sharon, looking shocked like a kitten, failed to understand this. She indicated her confusion, silently covered herself with a thin silk robe, and distanced herself from this somewhat intimidating Big Car.

On the rooftop, everyone discussed subsequent matters, like whether Fafna should go to the front lines to assist Liszt.

Not even half an hour passed.

A pirate messenger hurriedly came with news that Liszt had sent a message back.

Wolman didn’t dare to be sluggish. With the front lines often losing contact for two to three days at a time, they had to be on high alert.

Apart from Garscek, who didn’t care and continued sunbathing, everyone else gathered in the command room.

Liszt’s rough voice, resembling Brus White Dragon’s, came through.

"Damn it, we’ve got trouble here. Somehow, the priests of the Eternal Sect have shown up at the front lines. Although no conflict has erupted yet, the situation is very tense and strange. I don’t know if Crocodile Island and Zote have reached an agreement or what, but Church Court people are also setting up camp, and Uborio is barely holding on. Wolman, only leave a small group in Drifting City to ensure our retreat, and quickly reinforce. Damn it, big trouble is brewing."

Liszt usually sent brief radio messages akin to QQ texts, wasting no words. This time, he sent an unusually lengthy audio message, indicating the gravity of the situation.

What Liszt didn’t know was that Sandra had defected to Zote, and without Crocodile Island’s support, Black Rock City had also fallen to Zote.

Zote had instead completed a major encirclement with the east and west lines first. Not only Black Rock City, but Kelor Highlands was also seeing attacks from Zote’s religious madmen.

"Big trouble is coming!"

Fafna’s fighting spirit was ignited.

"Alright, I understand. When Lostra’s supplies arrive this month, I’ll order the march, also replenishing on the way. Fafna and Garscek are here as well. By the way, a priest named Sharon has been brought back by Rein."

"What the hell! Earth is super dangerous right now, hurry back to Mars, boss!"
