Chapter 166 The Wind Rises
Chapter 166 The Wind Rises
Gurado was not such a weird name originally.
Of course, his original name doesn't matter, at least not in this story. So for the sake of convenience, we still call this man Gurado.
Gurado was born on a remote and closed island in the South China Sea. The residents of the island call this huge island that few people visit Fengyuan Island.
Fengyuan Island is covered by endless dense virgin jungles, inhabited by a large number of ancient species from ancient times. And deep in the jungle, there is an ancient tribe with a long history hidden. Thanks to the rich resources of the primeval forest and the powerful hunters of the tribe, the tribe's life can be regarded as having no worries about food and clothing.
Every ten years, this ancient tribe will hold a grand summer night festival in the second month of the year, which is August, to honor their ancestors who turned into stars and the gods who protect the tribe. At the end of the festival, the clan leader and elders will jointly select the strongest warrior of the clan to accept God's selection.
God's Selection, as the name suggests, is a sacred ceremony for the gods who protect the tribe to select their favorites. Every ten years, a tribal warrior will undergo a test to obtain the God's reward.
Gulardo is the strongest warrior of the tribe today.
He has great power, but he is dedicated to doing good. People always joke that Gurado does not have a strong heart, he is too gentle. But Gurado himself didn't care. Except for necessary hunting, he never killed animals at will. Whenever the hunt is over, he always silently offers thanksgiving to his prey.
When Gurado was eighteen years old, he was known as the most powerful warrior in the history of the tribe and the fastest person to master the immortal armor. From that year on, no one from the tribe dared to challenge him. People respect him, love him, and regard him as the successor to the next patriarch.
At the age of twenty-six, Gurado won the right to see God.
There is an abrupt mountain peak in the center of the island, called Protruding Rock. There is a cave at the bottom of the rock wall, which is sealed all year round. Only the strongest warrior of the tribe is selected during the Summer Night Festival every ten years, and that person is allowed to lift the seal with his own hands and step into the cave.
That night, under the welcome of all members of the tribe, under the gaze of the huge full moon, Gulardo stepped into the cave, and headed towards the top of the cave along the spiral stairs in the cave.
Finally, at the end of the birth hall at the top of the cave, Gurado saw the true face of the so-called god.
A square box with dark jade color and tight fitting seams was enshrined on the high platform. As Gurado stepped closer, strange spiral patterns began to spread on the surface of the box.
There is gravity between all things. The gods who had been dormant on Fengyuan Island for hundreds of years finally found a suitable container.
It was night, Fengyuan Island disappeared.
A few weeks later, a new pirate appeared in the South China Sea, calling himself Gurado.
And the tribe that disappeared along with Fengyuan Island had a name that had long been forgotten by the world: Behemoth.
"Haha, I thought no one in the world would know this name anymore."
In the back mountain of York Island, in the middle of the open space surrounded by raging fire, Victor was confronting Gulado. The latter slowly opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of sharp and intertwined fangs. "Hasn't the World Government already erased all historical records from eight hundred years ago?"
Victor shrugged his shoulders, "There are always places that record the long-gone past."
"That's very well said. I want to correct you."
Golden lines began to appear on the body of Gurado in the form of an orc, and his voice became hoarse and deep, "It's not a mythical species, but a divine species. The writing of these two names in the text is very similar, and your translation is a bit wrong. "
Victor, the divine being, frowned. There was not much difference between the two, but the meaning behind them was completely different.
"It's okay to tell you. It's a reward for being able to fight with me for so long." Gurado seemed to have finally found someone to talk to, and the conversation was full of passion.
"Since you know the legend of Behemoth and the Three Pillar Gods, you must also know Sheetz, right? In ancient times, the superhuman, animal and natural departments all had the top branches of their respective branches. Among them, the animal department If the superiors are divided by level, they are ancient species, giant beast species, phantom beast species, and divine species."
"The ancient species is the first and lowest-level superior fruit of the animal system, but in fact it is not very different from the ordinary animal species; the giant beast species has a huge body and great strength, and even a weak mortal can eat the giant beast species. Immediately transform into a huge and terrifying warrior; and from the beginning of the phantom beast species, it can possess all kinds of strange abilities, such as self-healing flames, absorbing the blood of others to restore youth, changing into the appearance of others at will, etc. "
"As the top animal-type devil fruit, the power possessed by the Divine Seed is so powerful that it is like a god in the eyes of the ancients, so it is called the Divine Seed. At this level, one can already control terrifying natural forces or It’s all kinds of weird abilities that are hard to understand.”
"This world is so ridiculous." The golden lines on Gurado's body are getting brighter and brighter, and the spikes on his back are also emitting a flickering red light. "Devil Fruit is the biggest injustice in this world. No matter how long you practice, , What's the use of working harder? A weak mortal can easily crush to death a hundred warriors who have practiced for many years as long as they eat a top-level devil fruit. It's so boring, this world is really so boring."
Victor sneered, "If you feel bored, go and commit suicide like Kaido. No one will stop you. I thought you were going to say some shocking tirade, but you turned out to be just a frog in the well."
"Haha! Seeing that you are very powerful, I planned to spare your life and accept you as a subordinate." Gurado sighed softly, with little sparks of fire coming out of his mouth. "It seems that I have overestimated you. Maffia Victor.”
Victor smiled slightly and stopped talking, just assuming an attacking posture. This Gurado is full of mysteries. Even Apocalypse only vaguely stated that he is an animal-type phantom beast with devil fruit abilities and his abilities are unknown. This is the first time Apocalypse has encountered a target that cannot be accurately identified.
No matter what secrets the other party has, beat them first and tell them later. Both Gulado and Victor are prepared to beat the other party half to death first, and then slowly extract the secrets from them.
The two were about to start a fight when they suddenly looked up at the distant coast in alarm.
got windy.
