Chapter 476: The Book of Concealing Time and Ages

In the real world, the Radiant Holy Kingdom was merely a colossal legendary warship, much smaller than the Yishemierlen Palace, which resembled an entire palace afloat. The contrast was akin to an ant versus an elephant. However, when Charlot was transported to that mysterious space alongside several divine entities, he witnessed the Radiant Holy Kingdom colliding with the Yishemierlen Palace. The two were evenly matched, their clash revealing that the power disparity between them was not as ...

Chapter 475: Charlot, I Am Proud of You, and Amon Is Too

Charlot Mecklenburg, as an eighteenth-rank transcendent, feared none below the saint rank! He had consecutively destroyed eighteen ghost ships and even killed three saint-rank ghost crew members. Though these crew members lacked the full power they had in life, retaining only some characteristics of the saint rank, Charlot suddenly sensed a subtle change within his power—a new Blood Rune from the Adonis Clan had formed within him.

When Charlot first encountered Blood Glory, he focused...

Although he wasn’t the youngest among those tested earlier—such as Ming Yuejian, who was only fourteen—age was just one factor. Strength, however, was another matter entirely.

Li Hao’s abilities were well-recognized. When coupled with his various accomplishments, even many of the older generation couldn’t help but sigh and smile bitterly, lowering their heads in sil...

Chapter 232: Famine

The officers frowned and turned to look at the Duke of Orléans.

The duke, however, merely smiled. “The corps controlled by the royal family is expanding rapidly. From what I know, they recruited nearly a thousand new soldiers shortly after returning to Paris.

“With the addition of the Moulin Corps that has aligned with the royal family and the Swiss mercenaries, the royal family now commands at least ten thousand soldiers.”

“You fo...

Chapter 231: United in Purpose

An hour later, a pitch-black carriage exited through the rear gate of Count Morneau’s villa, its roof stacked high with fabric.

The carriage made several circuits through the city before finally returning to the Palais Royal after 10 p.m.

The Duke of Orléans, cloaked entirely in a black hood, unloaded the fabric like a servant and carried it into the warehouse. Only after ensuring there were no other onlookers apart from his persona...

Chapter 233: Merry Christmas

The sky over Ypres, Belgium, which had already been devoid of sunshine, gradually darkened.

The weather grew colder, and the once damp, muddy land had frozen into solid ice, with only small white spots left when a shovel was struck into the ground.

Captain Claude hoped to carve a "ladder" into the side of the trench, so he could climb up to take a look at the situation outside more easily.

But in the end, he gave u...

Chapter 232: Christmas is Coming

The problematic designs were naturally left for the competition.

Steed’s approach was simple.

There were always designers in the factory who, relying on their knowledge of many confidential matters at the Saint-Étienne Armaments Factory, believed that Steed wouldn’t dare fire them. Indeed, Steed had such concerns himself, often turning a blind eye to their violations and laziness, which only made them bolder and...

Chapter 474: Then Let’s Fight!

As the Radiant Holy Kingdom prowled the seas, wreaking havoc, Charlot Mecklenburg noticed an increasing number of Wriggling Demons on the ship. These blue giants, who had been absent from the world not long ago, were now familiar enough to greet him warmly, as though it was natural for Charlot to know them well.

The illustrations Charlot had distributed were clearly insufficient. He even saw seven or eight blue giants with strikingly similar features, differing only slightly in height a...

Chapter 473: The Second Labyrinth, Yishemierlen Palace

Charlot Mecklenburg stood in the captain's cabin of the Radiant Holy Kingdom, his mind inundated with countless clamoring thoughts. He momentarily set these aside, gazing out over the endless ghost fleet on the ocean and the slowly advancing palace on the sea. A vague sense of unease settled in his chest.

"If challenging an Evil God means facing this level of opposition every time, how could anyone possibly succeed?"

"Then again, it’s true—I haven’t heard of anyone succeedin...

Two supreme realms, igniting two Extreme Dao Monuments.

Ji Xuanshen was only 29 years old. If given a few more decades, he would undoubtedly comprehend other supreme realms.

As the Dao Seed of the Ancient Holy Clans, his potential was immense, worthy of being counted among the top-tier heaven's chosen of the mortal world.

Before long, Ji Xuanshen advanced unimpeded, arriving effortlessly b...

Jiang Ziyan exchanged a few pleasantries before turning and summoning several princes and princesses, saying, "Come, demonstrate for everyone to see the bloodline of our Jiang royal family."

Though they were members of the imperial clan and accustomed to commanding others with an air of superiority, at this moment, an unusual nervousness seemed to grip them. Sharing glances, they silently conveyed the...

Chapter 230: The Traitor

For a time, the streets were abuzz with outrage.

"Have you heard? A coppersmith's daughter in the Marais district was targeted by two nobles. Not only was she assaulted, but her entire family was murdered!"

"They say one of them is the son of the Minister of the Interior. That scoundrel didn’t want to share the girl with the other noble, so he had him burned alive."

"Such cruelty! But why would he kill the poor girl’s family too?"<...

Joseph saw the report's conclusion, which stated, “The British Consul to Tunis, Hollis, committed suicide due to personal reasons,” and couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.

“The British really do cling to their old traditions, ruthless even toward their own.”

Although France had a substantial number of captured Tunisian Guards to testify against Hollis, the British government insisted it was slander,...

Chapter 231: The Improvement of the Machine Gun

Charles groaned inwardly.

How should this machine gun be improved?
If it were to be truly improved, wouldn’t it almost be a complete redesign of the machine gun?
It has flaws everywhere; however, because the war suddenly broke out and all countries lacked light machine guns, it still managed to secure a certain number of orders.

Nevertheless, the battlefield's evaluation of it was:
"It’s n...

Chapter 472: The Largest Ghost Fleet in History

Charlot couldn’t help but exclaim, “Is this the second labyrinth?”

Before his voice faded, countless sails emerged from the sea ahead. One ship after another surfaced from the depths, and soon the ocean was densely packed with an uncountable number of vessels. These ships varied in style, and even in era—many seemed to span hundreds of years, exuding an ancient and otherworldly aura of time.

Golden Ram Herolf shouted in astonishment, “I see the Minnis! Didn’t it disapp...

Chapter 471: The Complete Radiant Holy Kingdom

Charlot Mecklenburg suddenly found himself missing the Black Dragon.

That old lizard often came up with reliable ideas. Although these ideas were typically plain and lacked the brilliance of the legendary schemers who calculated everything to perfection, they were always practical.

After passing through the Golden Ram Palace, Charlot had sailed for a long time without encountering a second labyrinth, leaving him feeling somewhat lost. He consulted his teacher, Juno Arthur, but the...

Golden light slowly split open the illusory sky, forming a towering, unapproachable gateway.

The surrounding energy surged and diffused like rippling waves, exuding an ethereal aura.

“Is this the Celestial Gate?”

“Do the beings emerging from it possess the same terrifying power as living saints?”

“More than that. Beyond the Celestial Gate lies the domain of the ancient sage...

Seeing Emperor Yu personally come out to greet them, Jiang Ziyan and the others were taken aback. Immediately, they recalled the person Emperor Yu had mentioned earlier.

Confident in their status, they did not step forward but merely observed with their divine sense.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Zhenren from Qiandao Palace sent a divine sense transmission directly to Li Hao:

Clementine also received a gift from her cousin. It was a large jar of Tunisian-style candies, made by binding cashews, Moroccan nuts, crushed dates, and more with honey and sugar, then compressing them into short bars. The flavor was exquisitely sweet and delightful.

Unable to resist the temptation of the candies, the moment she caught the sweet aroma, her eyes lit up, and she completely forgot her composure. She reached into the jar,...

Topkapi Palace.

Sultan Hamid I, seated on a broad square chair, watched as Yusuf entered the room. He pressed his hand against the cushion in an attempt to sit up straighter, but the weakness of his muscles made him abandon the effort.

His years of confinement before the age of 43 had left his body in poor condition. Though he was now only 64, his frailty betrayed the signs of a waning life.

Raising his hand, he gestured ...

Chapter 230: The Chauchat Machine Gun?

In the Ritz Hotel conference room, Charles briefly explained the requirements for the aerial bombs to Steed, including the fuses.

The fuses for the aerial bombs had to be different.

If the fuses were still designed like those for regular artillery shells, such as mortars, where the triggering fuse is placed at the front, a serious issue could arise: if the wind was too strong on the airplane, once the bomb's sa...

Next, Charles tested the rifle. As a colonel, it was highly probable that he would need to use a rifle on the battlefield, and therefore, he had no choice but to learn how to handle it.

He quickly realized that the Lebel rifle was just as unfriendly to beginners.

This rifle uses a tubular magazine.

Other rifles have their ammunition loaded vertically into the magazine, but with the Lebel, the rounds are ...

Chapter 470: The First Labyrinth—Golden Ram Palace!

Charlot Mecklenburg refrained from bringing the fleet too close. Instead, he launched a small boat, accompanied by Golden Ram Herolf, Andreas, and eight sailors. Together, they rowed toward the Golden Ram Palace.

After rowing for a short while, Charlot grew impatient with the slow pace. He moved to the stern, pressed his palm against the seawater, and activated his Stardust Battle Energy. Instantly, the boat surged forward at high speed, cutting through the waves. In just over two hours...

Chapter 469: About to Begin the Challenge of the Evil God

The Aggras Sea was extraordinarily beautiful, its deep azure expanse resembling an enormous sapphire, dotted with countless islands. Whether viewed from the sky or the deck of a ship, every vista was breathtaking.

For sailors journeying from the Old Continent to the New Continent, arriving at the Aggras Sea brought a collective sigh of relief. It signified that the New Continent was near, and they could take a break to replenish fresh water and rest for a while.

For sailors return...

“Accepting disciples again...”

Emperor Yu frowned slightly. A thousand years ago, when the Immortal Sect recruited disciples, countless exceptional talents flocked there, causing the Great Yu Divine Dynasty to gradually decline afterward.

That time, he had agreed because the opportunity was rare, and he foresaw that once the ancestral incense reached its peak, it might attract unwanted...

At this moment, as more and more people arrived, Jiang Ziyan, dressed in an elegant and regal gown, looked up at the Immortal Sect. Rising into the air, she softly said:

"Thank you, Master, for escorting me."

"This is but a small matter. Tomorrow, the other two Sacred Lands will also arrive to select people. You should prepare."

Chapter 226: Joy and Sorrow for Some

December 10, 1788

The entirety of Paris trembled under the harsh, dry winds of winter. News of grain shortages from other provinces only added to the chill of this unforgiving season.

The sole relief came from reports of victories in North Africa, which lifted spirits during these difficult days.

The French people, now on the verge of national awakening, shared a deep sense of pride in their nation's achiev...

Tunis.

A group of Berber soldiers, dressed in white short robes with dark gray studded vests underneath and white turbans on their heads, marched through the streets. They held scimitars and escorted hundreds of prisoners from the Algiers Guard. The prisoners trudged slowly between the square, beige houses on both sides of the road.

A large crowd of Tunisians followed closely behind, loudly cursing the Algerian inv...

In the Schneider armaments factory office, James was leisurely sitting in front of the fireplace, sipping on wine.

Just a moment ago, he had reached an agreement with Wintail to double the price of special steel, and that was just the beginning. Soon, the price would rise to two or three times as much, and depending on the situation, it might even go higher.

The reason was simple: rarity makes thin...
