Chapter 339 Courage
659
Alger's eyes were dazzled. When the red light dissipated, he had reached the mysterious space above the gray fog.
He was not alone in the temple-like space. Seeing other acquaintances, Alger was slightly relieved at first, and then he became worried about his body. But for now, it's a good thing that my soul is guaranteed. All I have to do is go back and pick up my body. The Sequence 5 "Ocean Singer"'s underwater breathing ability and physical fitness have been greatly enhanced, and it can survive in the sea for a long time. Just treat it like sleeping in the sea. As long as you can still fish it out and float to the surface, you can still live.
On the other hand, looking at the other sailors on the Blue Avenger, they were all caught in the darkness and were probably hopeless.
The "Blue Avenger" might also be lost. If I am the only one in the entire team to return alive, I will be under intense observation for a long time...
Alger thought for a while, and then looked further away, looking at the other people near the long bronze table.
His eyes collided with "Hermit" Cattleya, and Alger immediately noticed that the other person's spirituality was more active than usual, and the faint starlight on her body seemed to condense into a huge eye.
Alger was startled for a moment and immediately made a guess, his heart suddenly became hot.
The unsmiling "World" also sat at the end of the long table and did not speak to them for the time being. But Mr. Fool was not here. In the silence, Alger took the initiative to talk to the Hermit, seeking information:
"There's a tsunami on my side, what happened on your side?"
Cattleya happened to be waiting for "The Hanged Man" to speak. She glanced at "The World" who didn't seem to want to speak, then pushed up her glasses habitually and replied: "I came here a few minutes earlier than you. I'm coming up." I had a premonition of a tsunami happening before."
"I heard the murmurs of the Hidden Sage, but this time the rants seemed different from before. I sensed a very dangerous danger that I could not withstand, so I immediately asked Mr. Fool for help."
"...It stands to reason that we sailors can also sense the movements on the sea."
Ms. "Hermit" has never had such a premonition before. She has indeed achieved divinity... Alger almost wanted to take a deep breath. This is the second one, the second one who appeared in the Tarot meeting. He is a demigod, and is also an expert in the mysticism of magic and prophecy. This is a huge guarantee of survival for the mid- and low-sequence Beyonders. Alger thought of the "Tyrant Card" and warned himself not to be anxious, and then spoke steadily:
"But this time the change was too sudden. According to our original prediction, today should be good weather for going out to sea."
Alger paused: "So, when the tsunami occurred, we actually had only left port for a morning. In addition, I encountered the 'sinking Laurel'. My ship and I were completely unable to withstand it, so I had to ask Mr. Fool for help." .”
"Praise the 'Fool'." Cattleya said.
"Praise the 'Fool'."
"So have you found the stopping place now?"
"No, I'm still in danger." Alger's expression became more serious, "My ship and all my crew members were swallowed up by the shadow brought by the 'Sinking Laurel'. According to 'Laurel' According to the legend of the ship and the sight I saw, I suspect that the top brass of the Balam Empire took it out of the Raging Sea. When I encountered it, it was heading in the direction of the Rhoside Islands."
Cattleya's expression changed, and "The World" also turned its head. The former asked seriously:
"Were you swallowed too?"
"I prayed to Mr. Fool, and then jumped off the boat at the last moment and jumped into the sea."
Alger said: "My body should have been swept to the bottom of the sea or washed away by the waves now. The 'Ocean Singer' can live on the bottom of the sea for a long time. I just need to survive the tsunami during this period and return to the sea." Just go into the body and resurface. But if I am swallowed by that darkness, then I may really die."
"The Rhoside Islands have not encountered the shadow you mentioned yet." "The World" Gehrman joined the conversation, "That is the sanctuary of the 'Poseidon'. If anything goes wrong, the resistance forces on Lanshan Island should pray to the Poseidon." …”
While speaking, Klein suddenly thought of a setting that had not been mentioned for a long time. This setting is that there is an "Angel of Death" Azik Eggers under "The Fool". Leaving aside Cattleya the Hermit, who had received the blood of the "Angel of Destiny" and came late and didn't know anything about it, he quietly observed the "Hanged Man" and suspected that the other party had also thought of this setting. Combined with the top-down control of the "Death God" pathway, it is easy to wonder whether there is any connection between the two gods.
Since Mr. Azik left after the death-related incident, I have been able to contact him only through letters. In fact, I don’t even know where he is or what he is doing. Mr. Azik has also been vague. …
Klein's expression didn't change, and he decided not to bring up this setting proactively, letting Alger think about it to his heart's content.
"Do you have any idea what happened?" Seeing that the atmosphere became silent again, Alger asked quickly.
Now among the three, he is the most dangerous. If this emergency situation cannot be resolved within a day or two, he, the newly promoted "Ocean Singer", may drown in the sea.
Moreover, it was difficult for him to guarantee that no sea monsters or other creatures would gather together and eat his body during this period!
Klein was about to speak when his brows suddenly jumped. Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s words came true. There were now layers of prayers in his ears, from the Rhoside Islands, from all civilians and rebels who believed in "Poseidon" military!
He immediately blocked the senses of the other two people, allowing Alger and Cattleya to communicate alone, while "World" Gehrman turned into a silent marionette, and then he and the marionette swapped places and appeared in On the main seat of "The Fool". The symbol behind the high-backed chair, which symbolizes "the pupilless eye and the thread of change", is constantly emitting ripples. Layers of prayer sounds appear in his mind. Their number, the closeness of the prayer time, and the scale have never been seen before. It is comparable to several collective prayer ceremonies privately organized by the resistance forces!
Klein composed himself, and the "Poseidon's Scepter" automatically flew to his side. He spread his spirituality and touched the ripples of prayer.
Dozens of prayer scenes unfolded in his mind at the same time. Now that he was a saint, he could respond to multiple prayers at the same time, and he did not have to worry about becoming dizzy and spiritually exhausted after responding a few times. After gaining divinity, he also Finally he looked like a god.
After all, the previous Kavituwa was only Sequence 3. Judging from the resistance's response to him, he might not have done as well as he did.
Klein put aside his distracting thoughts and looked at the prayer screen. As soon as he looked at it, his brows immediately furrowed.
A family of three huddled and shivered in a dilapidated small wooden house. The wind outside was howling. It was obviously afternoon, but the sky was pitch black. There were no stars, no sun, no moon, only the occasional flash of white lightning.
Some people are at sea, holding the mast in the huge wind and waves and praying desperately, some are at home, and some are working. Their prayer pictures all have the same background, everything is pitch black, and you can’t see your fingers, white lightning.
this……
Klein subconsciously checked the clothes of these people. Is this really a place abandoned by God?
He looked at the prayers in Silver City and found that the sun was shining brightly on the Eastern Continent and was not affected at all. The dislocation of the two worlds gave Klein a strange sense of absurdity.
The situation was urgent. Klein looked at the darkness with strong symbolic meaning. Only by understanding what these things were could he figure out how to save the people in the Rhoside Islands - Klein could not take away the souls of so many people at once. What's more, there is also a violent tsunami. They are ordinary people and cannot survive in the sea for a long time like Alger.
Through the vision of Source Castle, he noticed that it was not the real darkness, but the same feeling that the Artificial God of Death gave him at the beginning, a void that symbolized "death" and "the underworld".
Could it be that this is...
Klein's breathing quickened slightly. He browsed back and forth through different prayer scenes. Soon, a particularly sharp prayer pierced his mind. When he looked closely, he saw a small fishing boat just in front of his line of sight. When it tipped over, several fishermen dressed as natives of the Rhoside Islands fell into the sea. They grabbed a few wooden boards and lifebuoys and floated in the waves, praying to the sea god with difficulty.
Behind them, the darkness spread, and countless undead creatures and bloody vines with faces stretched out towards them!
Klein acted immediately, and the "Poseidon Scepter" glowed, silver-white electric light flashed, and began to project power into the sea area where those people were. With the blessing of Source Castle, the "Poseidon Scepter" has accomplished something it could never have done before - changing the environment of a small sea area amidst the absolute majesty of the "tyrant" and making the marine life in the small sea area obey its own will. Order, take those fishermen away!
Just when the bloody vines were about to touch the neck of the person closest to the darkness, an incredibly huge sea fish suddenly emerged from the sea, lifted all the victims here to its back, and then quickly reached Riding the wind at incredible speed,
Klein urgently called a sea monster corresponding to Sequence 6.
The fishermen, who had just had a brush with death and felt that they were being treated as food by the monster, screamed in fright. It took several seconds to notice that the sea monster was just carrying them and gliding smoothly on the sea. In a blink of an eye, the fishermen behind them The wooden fishing boats are long gone. The sea in the distance was pitch black and nothing could be seen. The fishermen gradually came to their senses and rushed to kneel on the sea monster, praising the sea god loudly.
The Rhoside Islands are not safe now, the sun has set, and the darkness of death is approaching... Let's put them on a small island far away from the violent sea first.
What is the goal of the God of Death? Rhoad Islands? Sunya Sea? Or the Northern Continent?
Suddenly, Klein's pupils shrank, and he saw a large ship slowly sailing out of the boundless darkness, a... "ghost ship" that completely matched all the elements of strange stories about the sea! The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series that he had seen before almost immediately appeared in Klein's mind. The pale ship was stained with rust and covered with green barnacles, seaweed and shellfish. It was exactly what Alger saw. Laurel"!
He couldn't help but look at the deck of the "Laurel", and saw a familiar figure standing in the center of the deck. He was wearing a very distinctive Balam Empire costume, with gold ornaments hanging on his body, and a belt that showed his identity. pure white feathers.
Countless ghosts and undead creatures were busy walking back and forth on the ship, and no one dared to get close to him. When they passed by, they would lower their heads piously, showing awe and fear of the dead Archon.
Such a scale is obviously beyond Klein's ability. It is impossible for him to drive away a death archon carrying an "army"?
Klein's expression became dull, and the light of the "Poseidon Scepter" also became a bit dim.
In my ears I heard the people's cries of pain and despair, and in front of me were acquaintances and angels who were simply invincible.
How to do this?
…
Azik Eggers commanded the Laurel, patrolling the waters near the Sea of Storms, destroying as many anchors as possible belonging to the God of War and the Lord of Storms along the way. Due to his affinity for the Northern Continent and his recollection of his past life, he was ultimately sent to the sea to perform some simple processing work. These anchors are mainly composed of pirates and colonials, and will not attract the attention of the current "God of Thunder and Truth". They can also allow Azik to slightly recall the memories and memories that truly belonged to him through this equal and blessed slaughter. Life.
But even so, it is still a psychological burden for Azik.
However, this kind of psychological burden will become less and less as time goes by. You just walk, and humans die. You just get close, and they are swallowed up. How can you think that such a small and fragile life is equal to you? Woolen cloth?
A few minutes further walking, the "Laurel" would be able to enter the range of the archipelago. Azik hesitated for a while whether to slow down, and then, an extremely dangerous spiritual premonition appeared in his mind, and a chill came from The soles of his feet went straight to his brain, and he was suddenly stimulated to reveal half of the mythical creature form, and pale flames burned in his eyes.
A ethereal, distant, indescribable line of sight fell from an end-like height. Azik subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the sky, but even with all his sight, he could not touch the height of the aura. Then, Azik Hearing a huge sound fell directly into his mind, like a hundred big bells ringing at the same time, with unquestionable majesty.
"leave here."
Azik opened his eyes wide, suspecting that this was a god hidden in the Rhoside Islands speaking to him, but such a sense of oppression and crisis was close to death. If there is such a god in the Rhoside Islands, why has there been no news about it so far? None of it has been reported?
Rhoside Islands, Rhoside Islands, who is protecting this place... Azik immediately prayed to the God of Death and told everything about what happened to him. At the same time, a small detail flashed through his mind - Klein seemed to have told himself that he had obtained the identity of "Poseidon Kavitua" and could play the role of Poseidon and respond to Rothd's followers on Kavitua's behalf. .
Could it be... Azik felt unbelievable. No matter how much he used his imagination, he could not compare the voice just now with the gentle, bookish voice in his memory. He was embarrassed after being exposed as a "fool". He was compared to a young man who wished he could dig a hole in the underworld and hide. Should that shuddering aura be possessed by a demigod? Could it be that...Klein has...
Above the Raging Sea, after receiving Azik's prayer, the God of Death, shrouded in black mist, closed his eyes, turned his head, and looked in the direction of the Rhoside Islands.
There was a trace of doubt in his eyes. The God of Death stared at the sky of the archipelago and scanned the archipelago back and forth, but he did not find any powerful spiritual brilliance in it. There was no existence of sequence one or above hidden somewhere, let alone that one. Son of the Creator. He searched for names and identities one after another in his mind, but none of them matched the feeling Azik described. But - cleaning up those anchors was not the main goal. He was now preparing to set off to help Intis fight against the Storm Lord, and he was too lazy to care about trivial matters at sea.
The loss of a Sequence 2 is also something Death doesn't want to see, although Azik is not very important. So he looked at the ship where his hand was after his resurrection, and ordered in a deep voice.
"There's no need to start a fight, go somewhere else."
The God of Death actually agreed... Azik felt deeply shocked again. While shocked, he once again became a little suspicious of the identity of that great being. He responded silently, and then slowly withdrew his spirituality that had almost spread to the edge of the Rhoside Islands. The dark world slowly dissipated, and the sky with faint sunshine after the clouds returned to the vicinity of the islands.
The "Laurel" began to turn, preparing to go to the north, the Sunia Sea ruled by the Fusac Empire.
Azik looked at the sky, looking for the gaze that he could no longer feel, and asked in a low voice: "Klein? Is that you?"
Above the Source Castle, Klein, who was holding his breath and with cold sweat oozing from his forehead, saw the "Laurel" turning, and finally couldn't help but let out a long breath. He felt that his limbs were a little weak, and he was pretending to be a tiger in front of a god. The experience made him uncontrollably scared. Since he was unsure of Mr. Azik's current state, Klein had no choice but to use an almost intimidating method to force him to stop. Of course, he also knew that such behavior would most likely attract the attention of the "God of Death". If he really angered the other party, Not only will he die by then, but no one in the Rhoside Islands will survive.
Fortunately, it seems that the God of Death has no intention of causing trouble.
Klein took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, quickly regaining his composure and calming down.
As the "Laurel" departs, the sky in countless prayer scenes gradually lights up, and people gradually feel the sunshine again and return to the normal world. The believers cried with joy and kept praising the "God of the Sea". Their faith became more pious as they prayed over and over again.
Seeing that the archipelago was finally safe, Klein took a long breath and felt that his heartbeat had returned to normal. He smiled bitterly in his heart for his hot-headed behavior just now. But since he could save so many people, this adventure was not worth it. loss.
He was about to look away when he suddenly heard Azik's concerned and nervous whisper.
He was stunned for a moment, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and responded in a low voice:
"It's me, Mr. Azik."
