Pirate Kingship
Chapter 1027 - 555: Thunderbird West Wind, Aerospace Carrier_2
After the electric light flashed again, a pure white bird with a wingspan of over ten meters suddenly appeared in the sky, its entire body aglow with electricity, illuminating the dark sea beneath the rain curtain.
Byron’s The King’s Right Hand, the native [Gunner Chief] Wayne Dote exclaimed:
"That is... a mature Thunderbird!
This elemental species mythical creature, which can rival the Giant Dragon, requires extremely harsh environmental conditions to be born, and is far rarer than Giant Dragons.
Has the tidal activity of the Old Continent already risen to such a level?"
Most of the time, Thunderbirds, which only appear in legends, have three pairs of pure white wings glowing with cyan light, and two long tail feathers.
When it flaps its wings to soar, wind and thunder suddenly arise, and golden lightning is released between the opening and closing of its eyes, appearing as a giant bird sprite of thunder, lightning, and rain.
Usually, Storm Elves are born and die with storms, unable to survive more than one tempest, only lucky ones who happen to hide in a suitable environment can possibly transform into true Thunderbirds.
A mature Thunderbird can stand against Giant Dragons, and is a First Gear presence among all mythical creatures.
Byron has previously seen live Thunderbirds, the seventh layer of Bayfolk’s collective subconscious Valhalla Hall of Valor, "Alfheim" is the realm of Nature Elves.
Among them, Storm Elves and Light Elves are the most numerous, featuring many elemental species Thunderbirds rarely seen in the outside world.
But most of them are limited to survival, the best developed only reaching Third Order, far inferior to this Fourth Order presence, not inciting the desire to capture.
This elemental species Demon Monster must have been drawn from the depths of the Sea of Monsters by this burst of meteorological weapon.
No idea how many sinister beings it has battled in the deep sea, its gaze akin to a king overlooking all, likely not far from Fifth Order.
If it successfully advances to Fifth Order, the Demon Monster can also complete its own deficiencies and gain wisdom, as those initial monster gods of the Paleozoic Era basically did.
Byron is pleased by the hunt, the [Sure-hit Spear, Gungnir] in his hand glows again.
The spearhead of this Holy Lance has two sides, one often used as the [Sure-Hit Spear], and the other used only once, the [Tame Gun]:
"Limited to use on non-human creatures, after hitting the target it will automatically enter the Spiritual World, only by suppressing the prey with one’s own will can it be truly tamed.
If forcibly broken or counter-suppressed by the opponent, it may cause mental trauma.
The more targets tamed, the heavier the burden, please act accordingly."
Whoosh——!
A strand of bright blue rainbow tears through the sky, the Thunderbird senses danger, flashing with electricity it is already dozens of kilometers away.
But no matter how fast it is, it cannot escape the strike of the Sure-Hit Spear.
After only two flashes, [Gungnir] pierces its chest, and Byron’s domineering and unparalleled strong will instantly suppresses it.
Returning together with the Holy Lance to Byron’s side.
Previously, Byron’s tamed target was only a small worm about to evolve into a Giant Species, relying on his dual Five Order Divine Essence to additionally bear a Fourth Order Thunderbird is more than enough.
He raises his left arm, the giant Thunderbird folds its wings to fall upon it, bowing its head deeply to him.
The officers and soldiers on his side, especially the Berserkers, seeing this majestic Thunderbird submit, erupted in earth-shattering cheers:
"Thunder God! Thunder God! Thunder God!..."
Meaning like Byron’s ancient world chant: "Wind, Strong Wind" or Damao chanting: "Ura", all are types of war cries.
The soldiers’ morale has reached its peak.
The Bayfolk’s God of Thunder and Strength, presiding over thunder, power, storm, war, and agriculture, is the strongest force in the Gulf Divine Lineage, second only to the Divine King.
Divine King Woden is the symbol of father’s right, while Thor, the God of Thunder, is the most revered by warriors.
Just as Woden uses Ravens as his sacred bird, the Thunder God’s sacred bird is the Thunderbird.
Byron unwittingly collected the powers of this father and son pair and Woden’s sworn brother.
Once he advances to Sixth Order Demigod, he may be able to consolidate his series of powers into a [Divine Position], even actively distribute the authority to his descendants, making them born as gods!
Byron is also in high spirits, saying to the Thunderbird:
"Since my Strange Arts is called [Electromagnetic Slingshot], eventually evolving into ’more blows fall, stars like rain’, but we are in the Western Continent, so we’ll call you... Westwind. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
From now on, you are the mascot and sacred bird of the ’Westwind Express Company’."
"Screech——!"
The Thunderbird, though simple in wisdom, is very satisfied with this name.
Then it flaps its wings to fly high into the storm clouds, driving more charges to concentrate on the battlefield along with eight Storm Giant Spirits and a group of Storm Elves surrounding it.
Compared to the high morale of the Bayfolk side, the faces of the Old God Church Coalition outside the National Border Lock appear especially gloomy.
Each one of them, with their impure divine aura, greatly fears Holy Light, Thunder, and such positive energies.
Especially the Voodoo Sect’s [Baron Saturday], as a spiritual body divine being symbolizing death, his soul fire trembles in his mind.
No idea whether he would survive if he had taken that strike head on.
Not only them, many degenerate sea monsters underwater also shrink back, naturally fearing such grand natural power.
After a good while, the commander [Chaos Beast Horde] issued a forceful order to the Sea Monster Legion:
"Do not fear, he has the power of thunder, we have the power of the deep sea.
