Pirate Kingship-Chapter 751 - 486: The Domain of Royal Power: Puppet Kingdom

But before they could take action,

a beam of light shot straight into the sky from the quasi-Legendary Warship [Castle of Dreams], then transformed into countless crystal-clear, fine threads, enveloping the vast battlefield of tens of nautical miles around.

In the end, it formed a spherical space that simultaneously covered the sky, the sea surface, and underwater, without any blind spots.

A big fish in the sea just tried to swim out of the boundary formed by the intertwined threads, only to be instantly sliced into countless pieces of sashimi by the threads.

This is one of the core abilities of the Puppeteer: [Puppet Theater].

"Actors" wishing to leap off the stage and break the "fourth wall" must defeat the only being outside the wall, namely the Puppeteer who controls the strings!

After ensuring no one could escape unnoticed again, [Puppet King] Louis then sat on a luxurious ivory throne, slowly rising to the highest point of the [Castle of Dreams].

He looked darkly at the group of Fourth Order Transcendents on the nearby ships and spoke coldly:

"You're all quite good, your performance this time greatly exceeded my expectations.

In the script I originally designed, your deaths were meant to be by infighting, with your souls having a chance to return to the collective unconscious sea.

But now I've changed my mind.

I will turn you all into puppets for me to command, and the term is... forever!"

His life's creed and obsession remain unwavering: "Sitting high on the throne, enjoying power, wantonly manipulating the fate of the weak with the strings in hand, and not allowing anyone to defy him!"

But these protagonists and supporting characters in the puppet show dared to not follow the script he arranged, to obediently accept the fate of death?

He absolutely could not tolerate it.

Everyone on the battlefield was already on their path to death!

Then, he turned his gaze onto the two "Byrons" descending from the sky after blasting through the cumulonimbus clouds, rejoining their ranks.

Seeing them look full of surprise, as if they hadn't realized this was a carefully planned trap, they hadn't expected to encounter a Fifth Order Legend here.

They even exclaimed:

"Puppet King? Why are you here?

Could it be that the puppet dancer I saved was actually arranged by you?"

"Was my encounter with that Artificial Lantern Person also no accident? Was it all your doing?"

Byron never had the habit of letting enemies understand his tricks.

Even at this stage, he continued to act, just to seize the right opportunity to use [Surgical Operation Table] for a sneak attack on him.

Even the identity Byron presented was fake; his exquisite acting skills fooled even an "old director" like the Puppet King.

Hearing "their" words, Louis also began to feel uncertain about his initial judgment.

He had personally directed countless puppet shows and never had as many accidents as this time.

He knew the high-level Transcendents of the Kingdom of Castilia better than anyone, very aware that although they had decent strength, they didn't have such bizarre abilities.

He naturally suspected that there might be something unusual about this pair, who seemed like "Children of Destiny."

But from their expressions, it really didn't seem like they were acting.

He immediately suppressed his doubts; having reached the point of personally stepping onto the battlefield, the truth was no longer important. What mattered now was killing.

The Puppet King clenched his fist and struck the armrest of the ivory throne fiercely, shouting:

"The Domain of Royal Power unfolds, the Puppet Kingdom descends!"

Crack! Crack!...

The quasi-Legendary Warship [Castle of Dreams] immediately unfolded like building blocks, with the ship's hull and construction rapidly expanding.

The warship's main structure was a large Carrack Ship, with both bow and stern towering high above, older than the current popular Garen Sailing Ship and more like a castle wall.

The fore and aft castles were built like castles, adorned with luxurious gold and gemstones, making the gigantic warship look like a dreamy kingdom floating on the sea.

The internal space was actually many times larger than it appeared, as if a towering castle belonging to a Prince had been placed on the ocean.

At this moment, the superstructure expanded rapidly, transforming into a small city standing on the sea in the blink of an eye.

For humans, this city might seem overly petite, but for the blocks and puppets, a place like this is already considered grand.

After the Block Castle reached its limit, a layer of light waves seemingly composed of billions of threads continued to expand outward, stopping only when it engulfed everyone and reached the boundary of the "Puppet Theater."

"Hahaha... Please continue to dance and strive to please me!"

The Puppet King's laughter spread through the entire "stage."

Only a Fifth Order [Kingly Title] possesses the domain of royal power that can arbitrarily modify rules, comparable to the Mystic Forbidden Zone with various lethal rules.

To start from scratch and become a [Kingly Title], in addition to being a Fifth Order Legend oneself, one must also realize the trinity of King, Law, and Country; none of these three elements can be missing.

The [Puppet King] clearly hadn't established his own independent kingdom, still not a true King's Title.

But the abilities of the quasi-Legendary Warship [Castle of Dreams] could serve as his portable exclusive territory, with the puppet citizens on board assisting him, the "King," in unfolding a simplified version of the Royal Domain [Puppet Kingdom].

And once this warship could transform into a complete Legendary Warship in the future, awakening a Ship Spirit, perhaps it could give birth to a Fifth Order Queen ruling over the Puppet Kingdom.

That'll be the complete form of the Royal Domain.
