Chapter 163 The most bizarre and difficult-to-defend overlord-level secret contract - conditions are eternal?

"A blue beard?"

Xia Fa's face suddenly darkened.

The boatman's heart was shattered by a single shot. He collapsed onto the small boat and fell into the water. Blood from his chest stained the sea like ink. Yuan Zi stared wide-eyed, his face filled with resentment and terror.

boom!!!

The next moment, hundreds of cannons on the giant ship fired simultaneously, and cannonballs the size of human heads roared toward Xia Fa.

Xia Fa's gaze narrowed slightly. He neither flinched nor dodged, letting the cannonball capsize the small boat and fall into the water.

Just as he was about to sink, amidst the towering waves and the terrified shouts of the crowd on the shore, Xia Fa's underwater form disintegrated into countless sparks of starlight with a "bang."

On the deck of the USS Bluebeard.

The menacing first mate brandished his whip, which cracked in the air with a thunderous sound, even though it had clearly struck thin air.

But this made the pirates who were rowing hard all shudder.

Immediately afterwards, a clear, bright red whip mark appeared on their muscular, slick backs.

"Hurry! Row faster! Do you even want to live? He's catching up soon!"

Although the first mate's face was fierce, his eyes held a deep fear, and he immediately lashed out with the whip again.

Snapped!

With each lash of the whip, the pirates holding oars began to turn slightly red, their skin appearing to bleed with blood.

"We'll be able to conduct the eleventh Protoss Journey very soon! Hurry!"

Perhaps inspired by the first mate, or perhaps influenced by the whip in the first mate's hand that was clearly a secret treasure or a sealed object, the crew's rowing suddenly quickened, and the hull of the Greenbeard suddenly lurched forward, beginning to show faint signs of becoming ethereal.

Strangely, these pirates simply stood on the deck, holding oars and paddling in the air, without even touching the water.

The giant ship was hundreds of meters high, and they were rowing from the deck, so it was impossible for them to actually touch the water.

But the Greenbeard just kept going faster and faster, almost leaving a trail of afterimages.

Below deck, in a small compartment, Xia Fa suppressed his spiritual intuition and frowned deeply.

When he first encountered Greenbeard's pirate ship, he thought Greenbeard had gone mad.

Keep in mind, this is the sea area between Rum City and Extraordinary Market!

Let alone Greenbeard, even those five pirate emperors might not dare to come.

Because this is essentially the territory of the Kingdom of Augu, especially during the Fog Carnival, His Majesty Octavian and Archmage Gaius might intervene at any time.

But now, Xia Fa has noticed something is wrong.

The pirates on the Bluebeard... are clearly fleeing for their lives!

They were terrified of something, terrified to the extreme!

This colossal ship has even entered the Protoss Realm more than a dozen times, fleeing desperately using the "Protoss Traverse" method.

You must understand that if we are targeted by those unknown beings in the Protoss Realm because of this, no one on the ship will be able to escape!

That's why the giant ship suddenly appeared in front of the small boat he was on, without any prior warning.

At that time, the Bluebeard had probably just come out of the Protoss Realm!

"But why did they kill the boatman? And even went so far as to unleash a hundred cannons at once to attack me? Or rather—attack that small boat?"

Xia Fa frowned even more deeply; this was supposed to be a golden opportunity.

He did it on purpose, deliberately letting himself be "blasted" into the water by a shell in front of many people on the shore.

He can use the secret power of "Starlight" to appear on the ship with ease.

Then, after he quickly killed the Greenbeard and the other wicked pirates, he used his "Starlight" ability to return to the sea, disguised himself as Wolf-Fox, and climbed ashore. No one would suspect him.

In addition, with the addition of some methods to interfere with divination, even the pirate emperor known as the "Roaring Emperor," to whom Greenbeard served, had a hard time locating him.

But now, things seem completely wrong. How terrifying must it be that a being with a blue beard who is at least a demigod and these vicious pirates are so terrified that they are even willing to travel into the Protoss Realm to escape?

Xia Fa narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head, and starlight began to emanate from his body, indicating that he would not get involved in this matter for the time being.

Anyway, his only goal was to kill the green-bearded man, and now that someone was chasing him, he couldn't be bothered to care anymore.

Just as Xia Fa was preparing to use the secret power of "Starlight" to return to the seabed and then climb ashore.

Suddenly, the starlight on his body flickered slightly and then dissipated all at once!

"Has Starshine's power failed?"

Xia Fa was startled, but immediately sensed something.

"No, someone has restricted the space on this ship—"

Xia Fa took a deep breath and decided to remain still for now, not wanting to alert the enemy.

The fact that he could freely use starlight to appear on this ship, but could not leave using starlight now, only meant one thing—the being who was chasing Greenbeard had arrived!

Fortunately, I was hiding in a small compartment below deck, so I decided to wait and see what happened.

The kilometer-long Greenbeard suddenly blurred, and the bright, sunny sky transformed into a starry night sky.

Although Xia Fa was hiding in a small compartment below deck, his spiritual intuition allowed him to perceive everything clearly.

This means the Bluebeard is about to undertake its next Protoss voyage!

The bow of the giant ship, the Greenbeard, was raised, and it was about to float.

Bang!

With a deafening roar, the Greenbeard crashed heavily onto the sea, creating a thunderous sound and sending up countless waves.

The small cubicle was shaking violently, but fortunately it was a place specifically for storing wine barrels, and they were all empty, so nothing was flying around.

Xia Fa remained motionless, continuing to secretly observe with his spiritual intuition, waiting for the opportunity to use the starlight to escape at any moment.

"What happened?"

"Mr. Long Kezhi, the shuttle journey has failed!"

"No! I... I don't want to die! I haven't killed enough people yet, waaaaaah!"

"He's coming! He's coming! That demon is coming!"

"Captain! Captain! Where is the Emperor? We need the Emperor to come and save us!"

Chaos erupted on the Shenban. The Blackbeard was a kilometer long and more than 300 meters wide, and the Shenban was as wide as a square.

At this moment, almost all the pirates were standing on the deck, numbering in the hundreds.

They had been rowing together in unison, but now they were running around like headless flies; some even tried to jump into the sea.

Some tried to escape into the cabin, while others attempted to use their secret abilities to escape, but unsurprisingly, they all failed.

boom!

Gunshots rang out, and the chaotic scene quieted down for a moment.

The pirates turned around in horror to find that one of them had picked up a flintlock pistol, shoved it into his mouth, and smashed his own head!

Blood splattered in a fan shape behind the pirate's head, but he fell backward with a look of relief on his face.

After a brief silence, the fear spread even further!

Many pirates knelt on the ground in despair and wept bitterly. Some pirates followed the example of the pirate who had just committed the crime, raising their flintlock pistols or revolvers and smashing their own heads. Many more pirates desperately searched for ways to escape, even though they knew it was futile.

Xia Fa grew increasingly astonished as he looked around the small compartment below deck. Who exactly was this person who was chasing the Bluebeard? How could he have terrified these vicious pirates to the point of being willing to commit suicide?

It is important to know that among the five pirate emperors, the pirates under the "Roaring Emperor" were the most notorious and the most hated.

They might even kill poor fishermen for a boatload of fish, or worse, wipe out the entire fisherman's family on shore.

Recently, the group that has been occupying the coastal waters outside Rum City and preventing fishermen from fishing is also led by Greenbeard and his pirates.

But these pirates, who practically live on the edge and lick blood from the tip of a knife, were actually scared like this?

"Could it be another pirate emperor coming to hunt them down—?"

The thought crossed his mind, but Xia Fa shook his head.

"No, this is practically tantamount to starting a war. After all, Greenbeard is a demigod, and he is already quite important under the Roaring Emperor Demon."

Xia Fa became increasingly curious. Since he couldn't leave for the time being, he might as well watch the show.

Of course, it is possible to leave if one really wants to. For example, if this mysterious being suddenly appears, and is an angel or even a ruler, the burning sensation in one's heart meridian will be triggered as if by stress, and then one can use it to activate "Starlight" to forcibly break through the spatial restriction and escape.

Therefore, Xia Fa would rather see that mysterious being appear.

"What's the panic! What's the panic! Your head's gone, leaving a scar the size of a bowl. Don't fucking act like a sissy. The worst that can happen is you die!"

A rough, hoarse voice rang out, the door to the captain's cabin opened, and a burly man with a huge belly and short, thick limbs staggered out.

He had no hair, his head was completely bald, and his left eye was blind, but he didn't wear an eye patch. Instead, the terrifying eye hole, which looked as if it had been burned, was exposed, with the skin inside sticking together like a spider web.

What is most striking is his full beard, which grows haphazardly like weeds, yet resembles the majestic mane of a lion.

"Bluebeard."

Xia Fa's eyelids drooped slightly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

In any case, I did see the person I wanted to kill.

Moreover, he immediately deduced that this green-bearded man was only a demigod, or rather, he was indeed a demigod.

No wonder he dared to swagger around in the near seas. In fact, if the angels and rulers of the Augu Kingdom didn't take action, the Bluebeard really had nothing to fear.

What's more, he also has this pirate ship that can "travel through the Protoss."

The man with the green beard was holding a bottle of whiskey and appeared to be drunk, but his only remaining eye was extremely bright, indicating that he was perfectly lucid.

"His Majesty the Emperor has already stopped him; he can't come. He's using 'Eternal Conditions' to try and keep us here. Don't panic; the spatial restriction will be lifted soon."

Are the conditions permanent?

Xia Fa, who was eavesdropping and watching, was suddenly startled.

The conditions are permanent; that's one of the top ten overlord-level secret contracts!

Initially, the three supreme-level secret contracts that Xia Fa had heard of were Eternal Conditions, Forge of All Things, and Silver Throne.

Even now, he doesn't know much about the Eternal Conditions, this overlord-level secret contract; he just feels that the name is very unusual.

I had a chance to ask Dick Tudor last time, but unfortunately, Dick Tudor had guests, which caused me to be teleported away.

"The Bluebeard is actually being hunted down by someone with whom he signed an eternal contract? Does the eternal contract include abilities that restrict space?"

Xia Fa had some differing opinions, but suddenly felt that he had made the right decision to come.

Now, unless it's another opponent with a hegemonic secret agreement, it's difficult for ordinary people to pose a threat to me.

This is a good opportunity to examine the abilities related to the Overlord-level Secret Contract of Eternal Conditions and gather some information.

On the deck, the man with the green beard laughed heartily, showing no sign of panic. Instead, he gulped down a mouthful of wine.

Then, he drew his pistol from his waist and pointed it at a pirate who was running around wildly on the deck in extreme fear.

Click.

He pulled the trigger.

boom!

The pirate's entire body exploded, but before his flesh and bones could splatter, they all rushed toward the flintlock pistol in the bearded man's hand and were sucked into the muzzle.

The flintlock musket originally had a peach wood handle and a black iron shaft, looking quite ordinary. However, after absorbing the pirate's flesh and blood, it turned golden, and rose patterns spread across the shaft.

"I was originally going to just find any fisherman to feed this baby to me, but this kid Beijet is so extravagant that it's driving me crazy. If you want to die, you can continue."

The man with the green beard casually tucked the golden flintlock pistol into his waistband and glanced at all the pirates on the deck.

He clearly remembered the pirate's name, yet he still casually killed him and fed him to his sealed artifact. This immediately chilled the hearts of the pirates, making them even more terrified of the already fearful Greenbeard.

During the banquet, the previously noisy deck suddenly fell silent, and many pirates silently picked up the oars beside them.

I found another empty spot, ready to row at any time.

Xia Fa watched from a small compartment below deck, secretly alarmed. Although this green-bearded man was only a demigod, his methods were quite ruthless and sophisticated.

This one move, making an example of someone to scare others, immediately brought the situation under control.

"If what he says is true, and this ship can immediately perform another Protoss traverse, then I will act the moment before the traverse."

Xia Fa's gaze narrowed slightly. The star spirit traversed distances of thousands or tens of thousands of kilometers, sometimes even reaching hundreds of thousands or millions of kilometers, depending on the extraordinary individual with similar secret contract abilities or the secret treasure sealing object with corresponding abilities.

As for the Bluebeard, each trip would likely cover at least 100,000 kilometers.

If I wait until I've finished traveling before taking action, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get back.

If the mysterious being chasing Greenbeard was indeed stopped by the "Roaring Emperor," one of the five pirate emperors, then after killing him, I could immediately leave with Starshine's power, and after interfering with the divination, I wouldn't leave anything behind.

Unfortunately, we will never see this mysterious person who signed the "perpetual conditions" agreement.

On the deck, the man with the green beard casually pulled over a chair and sat down, his enormous, short, fat body leaning against the wall of the captain's cabin.

The other pirates silently lowered their heads, waiting for the first mate or captain to give the order to row again.

The first mate, named Long Kezhi, hunched over and trotted to the man with the blue beard, his face full of ingratiating and fawning smiles.

"Captain, thank you for your hard work. We were able to escape this time entirely thanks to your excellent command."

It was clearly First Mate Long Kezhi who was in charge, yet he shamelessly blurted it out.

The man with the green beard gave him a dismissive, warning look.

"It's no use saying all this, just do your job well."

He completely ignored his subordinates' flattery, casually tossed aside the half-finished whiskey, leaned against the wall of the captain's cabin, and closed his eyes slightly.

"Dream divination?"

Xia Fa noticed something amiss, but he also sensed that something was wrong.

His spiritual intuition kept sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding space, but in fact, the space where the copper was trapped on the ship showed no signs of being opened at all.

Suddenly, the man with the green beard opened his eyes and immediately reached for the golden flintlock pistol at his waist.

But at that moment, his movements froze.

The demigod-level pirate became motionless, like a puppet.

Not only him, but the other pirates, including the first mate named Longkezhi, were also completely unable to move, as if they were frozen.

Xia Fa was startled, not yet understanding what was happening, but he immediately realized that he couldn't move either!

Immediately following, an elegant and composed voice, tinged with a hint of arrogance, rang out from the ship and clearly reached everyone's ears.

"As everyone knows, this pirate ship, built by the Roaring Emperor himself, is capable of Protoss travel when the extraordinary beings on board work together."

Footsteps sounded, ascending the stairs from the ship's cabin.

Neither the bearded man on deck nor the other pirates, nor Xiafa in the small compartment below deck, could move.

That elegant and proud voice rang out once more, echoing in everyone's ears.

"For this reason, every time the Bluebeard makes a Protoss traverse, and at the end of the traverse, it causes a brief disruption of time and space on board because it passes through the Protoss Realm. So—"

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away from Xia Fa, but closer and closer to the deck. Fortunately, Xia Fa's spiritual intuition was still working, and finally, a pair of legs stepped onto the deck.

Those legs were clad in violet striped suit trousers and elegant black pointed leather shoes.

But unlike ordinary leather shoes, the toe of these shoes is covered with pieces of gold that look like scales!

Xia Fa was suddenly startled. If he could move now, he didn't know how he would react.

Simply because of these legs, the owner of these legs—

It was the young and mysterious ruler behind Pompeii!

He was also the culprit who stumbled into the desert mini-world of the Fog Carnival and almost sucked him in with those enormous nostrils that stretched across the sky!

"He actually signed a condition for perpetual rule; is he also an extraordinary monarch?"

The shock and doubt in Xia Fa's heart were like a raging storm, threatening to overwhelm his mind.

At the same time, the instant he saw those legs and the black leather shoes covered with golden scales through his spiritual intuition, a large amount of strange current surged from his spine and covered his cerebral cortex.

A burning sensation surged up in my heart meridian, threatening to fill my entire body in an instant.

But Xiafa still couldn't move, as if time itself on this ship had been frozen!

"What on earth happened? Is this the secret bond ability with eternal conditions?"

Xia Fa was shocked and suspicious. If that was the case, then the Eternal Conditions, this overlord-level secret contract, was simply too heaven-defying.

The young and mysterious ruler's elegant and proud voice rang out once more, still echoing on the deck and in Xia Fa's ears: "First, seize that slight fluctuation in the flow of time."

He took a few more steps up, and this time Xia Fa could see clearly with his spiritual intuition that he was wearing a violet striped suit, but on his face was a dark red ghost mask with fangs, which was obviously ferocious and majestic, yet still elegant.

"Then, we separate out the part of time that slows down from this slight fluctuation in the flow of time."

As he spoke, he pulled a large-caliber revolver from his waist and casually flicked it, causing the cylinder to spin rapidly.

"Ultimately, by magnifying, magnifying, and magnifying this time-slowed-down portion, we arrive at—"

He walked up to a pirate, reaching out as if to touch the pirate's face, but his fingertips stopped a centimeter from the pirate's cheek, and a laughing voice rang out:

"...let time on this ship freeze forever."

Rumble!

In that instant, it was as if lightning had ripped through the sky and thunder had pierced through the clouds. Xia Fa suddenly realized the truth and was extremely shocked.

Is this what they mean by eternal conditions?

Is this the eternal secret contract ability of the overlord-level secret contract condition?

In an instant, he almost understood.

The conditions are eternal, and like the Forge of All Things, it does not possess any specific secret abilities.

Or rather, as a supreme-level secret contract, Condition Eternity only has one secret contract ability.

That is, like this mysterious and extraordinary monarch,

To achieve the desired "eternity" under specific "conditions"!

He seized upon the disruption of time flow and spatial fluctuations caused by the Bluebeard's journey out of the Protoss Realm, which was the first condition.

Then, he separated the part of the disordered time flow that slowed down time, which was the second condition.

Then, he expanded the time-slowed portion infinitely, enveloping the entire ship—this was the third condition.

The first condition, the second condition, and the third condition formed an impeccable logical chain, ultimately achieving "eternity" that completely froze time on the entire ship!

The condition is eternal—the power of this overlord-level secret contract was clearly written in its name all along!

"Is that how it is? The conditions are always the same—"

Xia Fa was surprised and had to admit that the Eternal Conditions, like the Silver Throne, the Gate of Stars, and the Fairy Tale World, were completely worthy of the title of a hegemonic secret contract!

In fact, when it comes to being unpredictable and difficult to defend against, Condition Eternal is even more superior!

If by simply seizing upon the slight disruption in the flow of time after the Bluebeard sails out of the Protoss Realm, it is possible to achieve eternity by completely freezing time on the entire ship, then—what about under other conditions?

Is it possible to achieve eternity of wounding the enemy, eternity of being out of control, or even—eternity of killing the enemy?

Whoa?

The mysterious, extraordinary monarch began to spin the magazine of his revolver once again.

Xia Fa initially thought that it was referring to the pirate, or even just Greenbeard.

Unexpectedly, he pointed the revolver at his own head!

"I have always believed in fairness and fate. If fate allows me to live, I will live; if fate tells me to kill you, I will kill you."

Beneath the mask of the mysterious, extraordinary monarch, a meaningful smile flickered.

"And in my Soul-Destroying Revolver, there's only one bullet."

"So now—"

He pressed the gun barrel tightly against his temple and, without the slightest hesitation, pulled the trigger.

"The trial has begun."
