11. Brotherhood
And she also found that in this world, she is not the first capable person, nor the most powerful spiritual ability, but she is undoubtedly a very powerful spiritual ability.
So she began to deliberately collect everything related to psionic beings, including the magic weapons used by psychics, or the knowledge that was left behind.
These things have become the cornerstone of Himiko's growth.
Soon, Himiko became so powerful that he even established the kingdom of Yamadai and became the queen of the sun in the mouths of his people.
But none of this satisfied Himiko.
Her ambition grows with power, and she wants to conquer the whole world.
But Himiko knows very well that her own strength is not enough to help her conquer the world, so she needs to be more powerful.
However, it was at this point that Himiko discovered a new problem.
It is true that she is a psychic person, and it is true that she has great power, but a psychic person is not a god, she is still a human being, and there is still birth, old age, sickness and death.
As time passed, she was inevitably going to die.
This terrified Himiko.
So she took the initiative to study death, and finally came to fruition, not only founded the Storm Warrior, but also found a way to live, that is, to take away.
When Himiko was old, he would select a number of civilian girls to accompany him in the inner palace, and at the same time, there were officials who taught him various cultural courses, and these girls were called "priestesses".
When Himiko was dying, Shogun Storm was in charge of performing a "fire ceremony" to select Himiko's heir.
The fire ritual is a very cruel ritual.
The Storm Warriors would tie the priestesses to a pillar in turn, burn them underneath, and burn them if they were not the Queen's chosen heir. If a woman is the chosen heir, the queen will raise a strong wind to extinguish the flames and save her life, and the ceremony will end. The ceremony is highly secretive, and only the Storm General and the Queen know how it is performed.
However, in fact, as early as when the priestess entered the inner strength to accompany Himiko, Himiko had already chosen an heir.
This heir must match his own soul and can carry the soul and spiritual power in his body.
When the heir is chosen, he enters the secret room for the enthronement ceremony.
And the so-called enthronement ceremony is actually Himiko using evil magic to inject his own soul into the body of the heir. After the ritual is completed, Himiko's original body dies and her soul lives in the body of the heir.
It is not known whether the original soul of the heir has been cast out of the body or destroyed.
With the help of this ritual, Himiko lived life after life, accumulating quite great power.
And the strength of the power, coupled with the fact that the inheritance ceremony has never gone wrong, made Himiko also begin to relax, or rather, she was careless.
Hundreds of years ago, a new rite of succession began.
The priestess who was chosen this time was the witch that Wang Bo knew...... Star.
Hoshi was elected to the palace very early and lived with Himiko for a long time.
Himiko's carelessness allowed Hoshi to gradually discover the secret of the queen's coronation and succession, and discovered that what lived in the current queen's body turned out to be an evil, twisted, and dangerous ancient evil spirit.
Being chosen as the heir means that her soul will be destroyed by this demon, and the flesh will blame it for its usurpation.
Star is afraid of this fate, but he is powerless to resist. In the end, she decided to pay the price with her life to sabotage the coronation ceremony and prevent the evil spirit from continuing to rule over the people of Yamatai.
So, she stole a dagger from the Storm General and hid it inside her cloak and entered the vault with the queen.
Just as the queen was about to begin to infuse her soul, she stabbed her body with a dagger.
When General Storm enters, Star kills himself with a sword.
As a result, Star destroys the Queen's existing body, and also destroys his own body so that the Queen cannot use it, and the Queen with her wounded and dying body cannot quickly find a new heir to complete the coronation.
In this way, Himiko's soul can only remain in its existing body.
Himiko did not expect that because of her carelessness, she would fall into such a half-life, and in her anger, she raised a huge whirlwind near the secret room and the altar, day and night, until today.
At the same time, she did not spare any ships and planes approaching the island, destroying them with a storm, causing refugees to continue to arrive on the island for hundreds of years.
And the purpose of her doing this is to find a suitable body and get herself out of trouble.
In modern times, a man named Matthias was left on the island.
At that time, there was almost no one else on the island except for him and a few companions.
He and his companions tried to make a boat to leave the island, but both of their attempts to sail were met with a sudden storm and failed. Matthias sensed that there were secrets within the storm that would make it impossible to leave the island without unlocking them.
At first, Matthias wanted to go it alone, encouraging his remaining companions to try again, but not with them. As a result, all the companions were killed.
After this incident, Matthias traveled the island alone, and under the guidance of Himiko, he unconsciously or unintentionally uncovered more and more secrets.
Eventually, he discovers Himiko's secret.
Under the influence of Himiko, he decides to recruit assistants, find a suitable priestess, complete the coronation, release Himiko, calm the wind and waves, and then leave the island.
These seem to be Matthias' decisions, but in fact they were influenced by Himiko.
Matthias then founded an organization...... Brotherhood of the Sun.
All the members of this organization are refugees living on this island.
However, the nature of human beings is to love infighting.
Even a refugee on an island has many different ideas, and not everyone is willing to join the Brotherhood of the Sun founded by Matthias.
So Matthias, in order to prevent the group from dragging himself back, showed a bloody purge.
Anyone who is willing to join his own organization, Matthias gives them a chance to live.
If you don't want to, then die.
Under this high-pressure policy, coupled with excellent skills and ruthless methods, Matthias won a great victory, and soon only one organization of the Brotherhood of the Sun was left in the ancient kingdom of Yamatai, and most of the people became Matthias's subordinates.
Those who did not want to join the fraternity either died, or went into hiding, becoming fish that slipped through the net.
And Matthias is also among the refugees, constantly looking for a body suitable for Himiko's transfer, holding fire rituals, and constantly burning the women who are stranded on the island.
But he never found the right person until ...... The arrival of the Endurance.
The members of the crew aboard the Fortitude are Laura and her companions. While approaching the island of the Yamadai Kingdom, the same storm occurred, and the Perseverance broke and everyone was separated.
