Chapter 431 The Calm Before the Storm
“Today’s Cordo Gazette – ‘Apocalypse of the Deep’!”
"The west coast of the Eastern Continent has been fully affected by the 'Deep Sea Doomsday', mainly including the invasion of huge waves and the attacks of deep sea species."
"Currently, two-thirds of the coastal city-states have been destroyed, and countless people have migrated to inland city-states."
"The southern continent is the most serious. Almost all the city-states on the north coast have been destroyed. The main reason has been identified - a terrifying external threat called the 'Original Soul Seed' is eroding the southern continent."
"At the same time, there is also the disappeared race that fought with the Church of Dawn in the Fourth Era - the Black Goat Tribe. Its main characteristics are that it looks like a goat, with horns on its head and red eyes."
"The Western Continent, like the Eastern Continent, is mostly invaded by sea storms, but the results are better. With the help of the Red Moon Church and the two major wizarding schools of Blood Spirit and Mechanical, three-quarters of the city-states have escaped the first wave. Wave Crisis.”
"The northern continent is the safest. The Ghost School has invested a terrifying number of legendary undead creatures on the south coast. It is said that there are more than a thousand, and they are stationed in various city-states to solve the 'deep sea doomsday' crisis."
"This newspaper advises those who are still sailing on the deep sea to go directly if they are not far from the Northern Continent."
"There is also a major piece of news - Alexei Island in the central waters of Kordo, under the instruction of wizard Wayne Loft, is working hard to build an ultra-long-distance teleportation circle."
"It is reported that it will be opened in the near future. Please hurry up the ships not far from there. This is likely to be your last chance to escape..."
Although the countless ships struggling in the deep sea have been reduced by more than one-third due to the "Deep Sea Doomsday", when the surviving crew members received the "Cordo Gazette", they immediately headed towards the nearest and closest ships. Go to a safe place.
Needless to say, ships in the northern seas can go to any of the three continents: northeast, northeast, and west. Whichever is closest is the destination.
Ships in the southern seas, especially in the central seas, rushed towards Alexei Island as soon as possible.
"That's great. The wizard actually wants to build a super long-distance teleportation circle."
"I hope its destination can be set to be safe enough, preferably the Eastern Continent, where there will be little impact from the 'Deep Sea Doomsday'."
"It's best not to do so. Neither the Church of Storms nor the Church of Dawn on the Eastern Continent are very friendly towards pirates. The Northern Continent is the best."
"Yes, in comparison, the Ghost School in the Northern Continent is the easiest to get along with. As long as you abide by their rules, you can live there."
"Don't even dream about it. Having an ultra-long-distance teleportation circle to keep us alive is more important than anything else. Whether it's the Eastern Continent or the Northern Continent, we can get to Alexei Island first..."
The news provided by the Cordo Bulletin was indeed enough to give the desperate and struggling crew members a glimmer of hope, but many people also felt a crisis.
Except for the raging deep-sea species that can be seen everywhere in the deep sea, all continents have been affected.
What is "the end of the deep sea"? A more accurate name should be - "the end of the world"!
"The current situation is getting more and more dangerous, and we don't know when it will end."
"Hey, if those powerful people don't take action, the rest of us will just die."
"If I had known earlier, it would have been better to join a large pirate group. Maybe now I would have had more chances to survive."
"Are you talking about the people on the Black Pearl? Yes, the 'Sea Emperor' has ordered people to rescue people in various places in the deep sea. There are extraordinary people with space characteristics there, and many of them have been rescued in Awad. island.”
"It is the safest island in the central sea besides Alexei Island, and now it has gathered most high-level pirates!"
In the rough and endless deep sea, huge waves hundreds of meters high were surging. Many three-masted sailing ships were overturned by these huge waves without even the slightest ability to resist.
Then the deep-sea species under the sea will surround them, even if there are many powerful extraordinary beings on board.
Under the attack of the deep-sea species, it almost only lasted for a short time before being torn into pieces by some deep-sea abnormal species and became the nutrients of the deep sea.
Not only that, some ships managed to escape to individual islands, some of which were inhabited by aborigines, and some of which were much weaker than Alexey Island.
Before these crew members can rejoice, they will discover that these islands that are not affected by the "Abyssal Doomsday" have actually become an abyssal purgatory——
"Here, what's going on here?"
What appeared in front of these survivors were pyramids composed of human bodies.
Moreover, these human bodies are not complete, but are divided into different parts.
——A pyramid is entirely made up of heads, including men, women, old and young. Each head is clean and neatly placed.
Their eyes were all open, and besides being clean, they all had strange smiles on their faces, as if they were saying: Come on, join us!
Two of them are composed of all arms. All the arms on these arm pyramids keep the order of elbows down and palms up, extending upward layer by layer.
Moreover, the five fingers of the palm that are still open are not spread straight, but are curved like lotus flowers, like blooming flowers, making the pyramid look like a thousand hands.
The remaining three have pyramids composed of legs, feet and torsos.
"What kind of existence needs such a terrifying sacrificial item..."
The pirates are not ignorant. Many pirates who have been sailing on the sea for many years have seen similar sacrifices from the evil god sect on some era relics.
But without exception, the records of the era relics they saw were far less shocking than the scene before them!
"Damn it, there is a 'Deep Sea Doomsday' crisis outside, and there are actually evil people on the island taking advantage of the chaos to make sacrifices."
"Destroy them!"
"Yes, destroy this sacrificial ceremony!"
However, just when the sacrificial rituals on many islands were about to be destroyed, some people suddenly appeared and stopped everything from happening!
"They...I recognize these people, they are the Twilight Sect!"
"Quick, run away!"
"Damn it, it turned out to be them. I didn't expect that after the attack on Awad Island, these bastards were preparing such terrifying things!"
"Can't escape, fight them!"
But these pirates are no match for the gravediggers of the Twilight Sect. Even if they encounter mystical monks, they will still be sacrificed under the attack of those weird gray shadows.
"A great being is coming soon!"
"Ho ho, not tomorrow night, just tonight!"
"At midnight tonight, the great, powerful and true Lord will descend on the deep sea and become the ruler of all living beings!"
"We are waiting for these lost lambs to embark on the true road of faith, enter the real kingdom, and become people of eternal life..."
After Silas confirmed that Claire had revealed the information about "Lord of Truth and Killing" McAllister, he immediately followed the plan and forcibly changed the time for the opening of the sacrifice ceremony.
Whether it is him, those waiting in the "real" kingdom, or even McAllister himself is ready for the ceremony to begin.
As long as he can survive the first wave of crisis, McAllister believes that he will be able to completely devour the two kingdoms of "reality" and "killing" with the help of the murderous intention accumulated in the real world and the deep sea.
By then, he will become the first god to walk the world in the Forbidden Era, and he will also be an ancient god with two kingdoms!
"Silas, after the ceremony starts, guard that passage as soon as possible to ensure that the 'real' and 'killing' angels descend successfully, and I - the god who controls the two kingdoms of 'real' and 'killing' , will arrive at the peak of power!"
"Together with you, we will announce the return of God to the world!"
McAllister sat on the "Slaughter" throne, a trace of excitement flashed across his calm face.
After countless years of waiting, countless successes and failures of plans, he was finally going to become Him.
Everything is worth it, everything is his hard work, and everything will eventually lead to greatness!
…
At the same time, on the frozen fortress of the northern continent, Waclav Samuel Capo waved his hand to open the light curtain, looked at the two figures above, and asked:
"Ragnar, have you detected it?"
"It should not be far away. Either tonight or tomorrow night, the false god will start the sacrificial ceremony!" Ragnar Yasmani Blackmoore, the chief wizard of the occult school, said solemnly.
"Wizard Ragna, is it tonight or tomorrow night?" Velosa picked her nostrils and glanced at him: "Could it be that the great 'destiny' no longer favors you?"
"Don't blaspheme the 'River of Destiny'," Ragnar said seriously: "Be careful if he hears it and arranges bad luck for you!"
"Ha!" Velosa said simply, but did not continue.
Even a demigod wizard would face life-threatening situations if he were to encounter misfortune.
"Then take action," Waklav pushed up his sunglasses and grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "It's just one more day to wait!"
"Okay, I'll leave for Alexei Island right now." Velosa had been there once and subconsciously suggested.
"Then let's meet up at Alexei Island. With that little guy here, the space spell can help us get to the sea area where the sacrifice ceremony is located faster." Ragna agreed.
Wakraf nodded: "Let's go!"
With that said, the light curtain in front of the three people dissipated, and at the same time they left their respective schools and headed towards the deep sea.
…
On Red Moon Island, Miriam has also arrived and appears in front of Christian.
"You came to me first because you wanted to see that great being?" Christian asked with a smile while holding the red wine glass.
Miriam glanced at him and said coldly: "I have no intention of arguing with you, just tell me the current situation in the deep sea and your next plan!"
“Okay, okay, Sir Miriam, who wants to save the ‘Soul of Chaos’!”
Christian did not continue to tease and said straightforwardly: "I went to see that existence not long ago. He said that we should not change our plan and let the apocalypse in the deep sea continue."
"As long as enough people die at sea and emotions such as killing, chaos, and despair arise, the seal that trapped Him will soon dissipate, and then He can break out!"
"So what are you going to do?" Miriam looked at the people wearing red robes disguised as Red Moon Church believers outside the church and said, "Rely on them?"
"They are just part of the plan." Christian smiled under his mask. "I have spread the strange changes here to the Western Continent. I believe those from the Red Moon Church will come here soon."
"They are the sacrifices I prepared for the great existence!"
"Not enough!" Miriam shook her head, "It's not enough. If the leader of the Red Moon Church doesn't appear, the killing in the deep sea will not be enough."
"Of course," Christian shrugged, and said, "The rest is your task. Last time you said you would investigate the movements of the Twilight Cult. What was the result?"
Miriam narrowed her eyes slightly, with some displeasure in her eyes, but she still chose not to hide it, and said directly:
"Soon."
"They should hold a sacrifice ceremony soon."
"That's good," Christian stretched and said in a lazy tone: "Add to that their sacrifices, and even the false god, it is enough to lift the seal of the great existence."
"Now the only thing I worry about is the three demigod wizards. If the seal is lifted, and Vaklav and the others take action, that existence will be in danger."
"And us!" Miriam snorted: "With you With my guards, those demigod wizards can't hurt the great existence. "
"It's even possible to kill one of them, just like killing the founders of those major schools in the Third Age!"
"What are you talking about?"
Christan wanted to know what that existence said, and said ambiguously: "I need to remind you that the weirdness of wizards is not so easy to deal with, especially Waklav."
"Then leave him to me, I will make him disappear completely!"
As she said, Miriam turned and left, leaving a faint sentence in the air:
"I'm going to the Dusk Sect, and I will notify you to come when the sacrifice starts."
"Okay..."
Christan saw that she still didn't take the demigod wizard seriously, and couldn't help scratching his head.
Don't blame him for not reminding him if he dies.
After all, in the Third Age, those chaotic predecessors didn't have the strength to kill Lister Wizard and others.
Hehe, but what he couldn't figure out was, if Lister Wizard didn't die, where would he be?
And it hasn't appeared for three consecutive eras...
...
...
Alexei Island.
Wayne appeared in the castle with Claire.
"Master~ You are going to... who is this?"
Mitra sensed his return at the first time, and when he saw Claire, especially when he saw the two of them hugging each other, he became alert instantly.
[Master, has he fallen? ]
[But why is this person? She is dressed like a high-class girl on the tavern street. ]
[Hmph! She must have used very advanced technology to make the master fall for a while, I want to save...]
Wayne: "..."
Hey, hey, hey, Mitra, your idea is very dangerous.
What do you mean by high-class girls and advanced technology?
If Claire knew this, she would kill you!
"Wizard Wayne, this one," Claire looked at Mitra and asked with a bright smile:
"Is it your servant?"
"It looks like the girl on the tavern street~"
