On the top floor of the Overlord Tower, three figures, a High Orc, a Vampire, and a humanoid magic beast, were looking at the ghostly figure sitting a few ters away from them.
Their expression was solemn and wary; it was as if they were facing a terrible enemy and sitting on needles. If those pirates of the Evanesce Hub found out that three of the overlords were so afraid of a single guy, the overlords' imposing image would crumble instantly.
However, these three overlords didn't care about it at all because they knew they were not a match for this ghostly figure, but at least they were far better than the other two overlords, who had instantly fled the mont they got the news of this dark star's arrival.
But no one blad them for their cowardliness since they were only Tier-1 Legendary Kings, while this 'visitor' was a peak Tier-3 Legendary King. Furthermore, even among the three overlords sitting in front of him, only the magic beast was a Tier-3 Legendary King, even though he was relatively new.
The only person who could match this dark star was the Champion King, but since he wasn't here, they had no choice but to bite the bullet. However, to their surprise, the Champion King returned just when they were rushing here. It was like they had seen the light in the darkness and quickly called him here.
However, the Champion King seed to have taken his sweet ti, making the three pirates anxious as they faced the ghostly figure, who also remained silent and impassive. But his hollow eyes make them extrely uncomfortable as they feel they are looking at an icy abyss.
"G-great one, what bright you here to our humble dwelling?" The Vampire couldn't take it anymore and decided to speak. His pale white face appeared even paler as he faced the Soulless Ghost King.
After all, he was the scourge of the Vampire Race, an exile, but he was also the younger brother of the famous Blood Moon King and called himself Nightingale King.
Even though Nightingale King was an exile and a Star Pirate, he was still the brother of the Blood Moon King, a Legendary King who was as famous and influential as the Soulless Ghost King of Ghost Race and Underwood Fiend King of the Fiend Race!
So, Nightingale was always able to bluff his way out of dangerous situations by using the Blood Moon King's na. However, in front of Soulless Ghost King, he might anger the other party if he dares to use the Blood Moon King's na.
He knew Soulless Ghost King knew the inside information about his exile, and he wasn't afraid of the Vampire Race because they couldn't afford to go to war with the Ghost Race at this mont.
As for the High Orc and the Magic Beast transford in human form, they were also quite infamous as well, not on the sa level as the Nightingale King; they were notorious for other reasons: they were actual pirates.
The High Orc was known as the Butcher King because he robbed up star originations and then butchered their mbers and their relatives. He was a sadistic killer who knew no rcy, and he was quite cunning and always slipped away.
As for the Magic Beast, it was an Evil Corrosion Condor, the Corrosion King, a very rare magic beast that should've been a dark beast but, for so reason, wasn't. Because this guy devours living beings, even their own kind, to beco powerful.
However, by the ti the Corrosion King was discovered, it was already too late, and he had accumulated a huge amount of wealth and prestige. So, he beca a star pirate under the Nightingale King's invitation and guidance.
However, no one had thought that their safe haven would be visited by the Ghost King himself one day, and now these overbearing guys were timid like rats. At the sa ti, they silently wondered how the hell the Soulless Ghost King knew about the location of the Evanesce Hub!
Furthermore, the most absurd thing was the Soulless Ghost King even had the Entry Permit of the Cosmic Gateway, which ans soone with the entry permit had either died under the Soulless Ghost King's hand and got the permit or soone had given it to him.
The chances of the latter were quite slim, but then it wouldn't make sense how he knew about the Evanesce Hub's location.
The Soulless Ghost King, or Jacob, looked at Nightingale King. He knew who this guy was, but the mories about him were incomplete. They were just enough to give him a pretty good idea of who this was and what he was worth. As for the other two, he didn't care much about them as well.
However, Jacob didn't bother to speak with them since it wasn't Soulless Ghost King's style to talk with nobody.
The only one who was qualified to speak with him was the true overlord of the Evanesce Hub. Not many people know about him, but those who do rember him as the strongest giant of the Legendary Plains and also the previous Chairman of the Zodiac Warrior Alliance, the Champion King!
At this mont, Jacob finally spoke as he looked coldly behind those three pirates. He said, "I didn't rember the fearless Champion King to be a sneaky rat. Well, I guess, with your boorish brain, I'll be surprised if you're not affected by idiots around you."
His eerie tone was filled with mockery, sending shivers down the three bystanders' spins because they could feel the bloodlust. Despite killing countless people themselves, they still thought they were just newbies in front of the Soulless Ghost King, who was once rumored to have killed an entire elental galaxy filled with magic beasts and other natives and refined their souls.
However, when he thought he wasn't talking to them, they instantly felt relieved since this ant they weren't targeted by the Soulless Ghost King, and to double their happiness, the Champion King had arrived!
Just as Soulless Ghost King's usual arrogant speech faded off, a powerful voice rippled through the entire space, "Talk to my fist, you fucking ghost bastard!"
The next mont, a terrifying shockwave surfaced, catching the three legendary kings off guard as they were sent flying before a gigantic fist surrounded by crackling white light appeared out of nowhere.
The fist's target was none other than Jacob, who was the only one who remained in his seat without moving, as if the force of the fist did not affect him at all.
Jacob suddenly muttered, "Iron Ghost Fleet against the chaotic sea…"
