Age Of Islands: I Can See Through All Things Chapter 6
Advertisement
After the shield blocked the Gold Swordsman's sword skill, the speed of the island finally increased.
The huge island was like a sharp sword, instantly breaking the calmness of the sea and the endless waves!
Anything that stood in its way was mercilessly smashed into pieces!
Fortunately, there was a shield. Otherwise, with such a terrifying speed, the foundation of the island would not be able to withstand it. The entire island would probably disintegrate after moving for a while.
Nobody on the island would have any chance of survival at all!
The people on the island felt that the Goddess of Luck was watching over them. Many of them even knelt on the ground and prayed sincerely, praying that the Goddess would continue to protect the shield and not disappear.
When the people on the dock saw this, their eyes nearly popped out!
Forget the ordinary people, many of them had never seen this scene before.
However, even the nobles had never encountered such a strange scene, be it in their books and personal experience of island expeditions!
"Oh God, what in the world happened?" Harlen could not help but exclaim.
"Impossible. The family records can't be wrong. How can the speed of the island be so fast? I'm afraid most flying magical beasts don't have such speed!" James could not help but add on.
"Damn it, this damn Jack, how did he do it!" Raffles roared angrily.
"Unbelievable! This is simply a miracle, a miracle from God. Could it be that Jack really is supported by God?" Harlen was a little flustered at this time.
He thought of the strange things Jack had, and what he had always said.
Previously, he had always thought of Jack's words as those from a rebellious maniac.
Unexpectedly, what Jack said was true. Perhaps, there really was God behind all of this!
"No matter what it is, or how he escaped, the existence of this thing will definitely change the entire situation in the sea. I must have him!" James' eyes lit up.

James saw a terrifying possibility behind Jack's divine power!
That's right. Once he got hold of this magical item, it would be enough to change the situation of this world.
And he, James, must get this thing and push the worth of his family to the highest!
"Jack, no matter where you are, I have to find you and skin you alive!" Raffles gritted his teeth.
...
Aaron, who was standing at the side, watched the scene with a complicated look.
This Jack was not simple. He regretted his last action of raising the price!
Especially when he did not manage to kill Jack earlier, it made him even more flustered.
"Master, what do we do now?" The Golden Swordsman beside Aaron could not help but ask.
Aaron shook his head and did not speak!
Even now, his face was still filled with shock!
In the slave business, almost all the island owners had to purchase slaves from him before they left.
Therefore, he had seen too many islands set sail!
He was already used to it.
But today's scene directly overturned all his knowledge.
No island could achieve such terrifying speed, be it the chronicles of the Noah Continent or the events he had experienced.
If he had to explain this, Aaron could only attribute it to a miracle!
That's right, only the omnipresent and omnipotent God could make such a huge piece of land reach such a terrifying speed!
A few young nobles saw Aaron and knew that he was knowledgeable. They came over and one of them asked, "Aaron, is this speed normal?"
Hearing the young noble's question, everyone could not help but tilt their heads and listen.
Aaron shook his head and said respectfully, "Noble young masters, I have never seen or heard of such speed before. Not only that, I'm afraid that no island has half the speed of this island."

"Could it be that there are mythological beasts pulling the island?" Raffles asked through gritted teeth.
"A mythological beast?" Hearing this, Aaron could not help but shake his head, "Young Master Raffles, let's not talk about whether or not such a huge island can be pulled to reach such a speed. If there is, it's at least a level-five rare magical beast. I think no one here can stop it!"
"Then why? Is it a miracle of God?" Harlen asked with reverence.
"Maybe, that's the only possibility." Aaron nodded, "Speed is only part of it. Have you ever wondered why the entire island isn't even covered in mud at such a terrifying speed?"
A Gold Swordsman who had been chasing Jack interrupted: "Is it because of the shield?"
"That's right! This shield is too terrifying. The current speed of Jack's island is already close to the speed of the Holy Light Dragon. With such a fast speed, the wind pressure produced would probably be able to easily dismember even a Platinum Swordsman!" Aaron said.
Gasp!
Everyone gasped at Aaron's words.
Even Raffles, who had given orders to kill Jack, was stunned.
He was the son of an Earl, and he had extremely high authority in this place, but that did not mean he was stupid.
What was a Platinum Swordsman?
That was practically the trump card of a huge noble family!
It was enough to stabilize the status of a clan for a hundred years!
Each one had a higher status than the son of the Earl!
The wind pressure generated by Jack's island could actually kill a Platinum Swordsman at will, which meant that Jack was not someone they could match!
The people at the side were also stunned.
Platinum Swordsman!
They could not help but look at the Golden Swordsman standing high above them.
There were also the arrogant Silver Swordsmen.
These were existences that low-level citizens did not dare to think about or provoke!
"Gasp, this is too terrifying. What kind of existence is this Jack?"
"It's a good thing that we didn't make him our enemy. Otherwise, if we were to really fight, we probably wouldn't be able to last a second!"
"Hmph, does he think he can move the island on land? Besides, we have so many Gold Swordsmen and Silver Swordsmen. Jack has no chance to turn the tables here!"
"Hehe, is your brain filled with feces? Didn't you hear from Master Aaron that even a Platinum Swordsman can't block it?"
"Hehe, what I can't figure out the most is why he chose to leave this place with such a terrifying weapon. If it were me, I would have definitely looted the entire town and left in a carefree manner!"
"F*ck, what you're thinking is very dangerous. Aren't you afraid that the noble lords will find trouble with you? Of course, you can't take the risk. Let me help you. When the time comes, I'll give you half of the daughters and wives of the nobles!"
...
No one knew that Jack's item could only be used once.
Otherwise, given his personality, he might have left in such a manner!
One had to know that this island was not small. It could house a thousand people without any significant burden.
The more people there were, the better the development of the island would be!
Unfortunately, this was Jack's limit!
However, no matter what the people at the pier thought, everything here would be recorded in the annals of Noah Continent!

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
