Pirate Kingship

The scorching torrent of flames, with shockwaves sweeping shrapnel along, ravaged everything, leaving behind a circular crater fifteen meters in diameter and more than six meters deep.

Then the seven shells that followed right after instantly blasted countless soil and rubble into the air, and also wiped the whole islet clean off the map.

The scene at the point of impact was projected before The Fearless and the engineers in the dock.

Everyone remained silent for a long time.

The first thought in everyone’s mind was:

"The era when edge fortresses could withstand artillery is over! The era of pirates and sail battleships is over too!"

The age when a few single-masted schooners could easily intercept and slaughter merchant ships was gone forever; large, organized Pirate Groups were destined to vanish in smoke at the very first moment.

Byron and Violet had long anticipated this and were not surprised.

They had The Fearless activate Second Form, Mechanical God Possession:

"Change the ship’s form, Transform into a true Mechanical steel behemoth, greatly enhancing close-quarters and long-range combat capability.

No longer crippled in melee like conventional battleships.

And unafraid of damage, able to automatically repair its injured body by devouring steel and whale oil."

In this form, Byron’s Dragon Taming Technique and Violet could both serve as pilots, merging with it as one, unleashing an effect greater than the sum of their parts.

This was Violet extending her knowledge of the various Mechanical models from the Molten Furnace Church.

Byron decisively gave the order:

"Fearless, initiate Mechanical God Possession."

Then said to Violet:

"Young Lady, this time you fuse with The Fearless, I’ll be your opponent."

"As you command."

"Good."

Byron turned into lightning and dropped onto the sea opposite, while the eager Violet shifted into Mechanical Girl form and gripped the helm wheel.

Tooot—!

A loud and drawn-out steam whistle sounded.

Crimson light flared, and within the body of The Fearless battleship, already a steel behemoth, steam roared, spewing scorching white vapor that gradually veiled its form.

Then from within the mist came a surge of fervent metallic resonance.

Countless clanging notes fused into a genuine, undeniable holy hymn:

"Ring the great bell once, push the lever, start the pistons and the pumps; ring the great bell twice, press the button, ignite the engine, light the turbine, pour in Life;

Ring the great bell thrice, sing in unison, praise the God of All Machines!"

This was the idealist world, where one’s own will and actions could interfere with the human subconscious and even fundamentally reshape the Extraordinary World.

As Byron and Violet’s inventions changed this world time and time again, corresponding authorities would naturally be born.

Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before Violet naturally completed her own Sixth Order Promotion Ceremony and moonlighted as the God of All Machines.

The Legendary Warship The Fearless was the first beneficiary.

"Raaaar—!"

With a low roar, a steel giant claw tore through the pure white mist and slammed down toward Byron.

Byron’s expression changed as he flickered back, flying away.

Boom!

The giant claw struck the sea like a high-explosive Bomb, the sea detonated, foul waves surging to the sky.

The Fearless in Mechanical God Possession state revealed its true form.

The spectators on shore all sucked in a slight breath of cold air.

The Shipwright Little Hans even cried out involuntarily:

"What a huge... sea iguana!"

To be fair, the new form of The Fearless really did look a bit like a sea iguana—giant claws, sharp fangs, chilling scales, a long tail...

Only scaled up countless times in size.

And its entire body was composed of pitch-black steel, while its dorsal fin was like flowing crimson magma, radiating a searing Extraordinary Aura.

Byron felt that even the Transformers probably only amounted to this—and this one was clearly a Decepticon, best at Battle.

Violet, as pilot, had already entered The Fearless’s interior, serpentine cables piercing into the back of her neck, her whole Divine Aura merging with this Warship.

The aura about her clearly surpassed the combined total of the four Fifth Order powerhouses.

With multiple Divine Positions added, if she were to engage those Old Gods’ Divine Position Incarnations that had smuggled into the Material World one-on-one, she absolutely would not be at a disadvantage.

"Good timing!"

Byron’s body shifted, Transforming into a sky-piercing, earth-linking "Green-eyed Three-headed Dragon," his size no less than The Fearless’s. He leapt and lunged fiercely toward it.

Meeting him head-on was the opponent’s blast of blazing white flame, spat out as it flared crimson along its dorsal fin and opened its maw.

Byron was not to be outdone, opening his mouth and meeting it with a breath of electric plasma.

Zzzzt—!

The violent Energy clash vaporized an immense amount of seawater, endless white mist billowing upward.

The main purpose of the sea trials was to test the combat limits of the weapons and equipment and perform tactical evaluations.

Byron and Violet tested The Fearless’s stats one item at a time.

With a continuous series of booming crashes, even the Golden Mist Palace shuddered faintly.

As the two sides clashed.

Doors in the harbor drydocks opened one after another; the Little Mermaid Princess Heather, and Byron’s many King’s Right Hands, each with their own duties, received the news and came to watch.

At a glance, all of them had made great progress compared to before the "Hunting God Project."

After Heather fused the Moon Divine Position, she had gained three major lunar Incarnations: New Moon, Waning Moon, and Full Moon, each one equivalent to her main body.

So long as they did not strike together, each Incarnation was equivalent to a Fifth Order Pseudo-God.

The New Moon’s appearance was that of a little loli of only eleven or twelve; Waning Moon took on the form of a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl; and the last, Full Moon, was a thirty-year-old mature noble beauty.

Heather was followed by two little girls in Princess dresses, like twin sisters.
