Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Chapter 426: Fighting God Armor, Appears
Arkham is the largest city in the Abyss.

Countless pools of water surround the exposed coral reefs, and colorful but bizarre buildings stand on both sides of the waterway.

Looking down from above, the entire city seems to be floating on the boundless ocean like a spider web, with small coral towns scattered around it.

The part of the spider web is not the sea, but a gray-white coral reef.

The ratio of Arkham's land area to water is approximately 4:1.

If Alice had come from afar, she would have shouted: "Flowing Waterfall City! Brother! Look, there is a strange-looking Flowing Waterfall City here!"

To Alice, an intuitive creature, I don’t care about the coral reefs here and there, or the strangely colored rivers here and there, aren’t they just big houses built with some strangely colored stones between the rivers?
The king of heaven has come, and this is also the waterfall city under the sea.

There's just a bit too much water.

reasonable.

Because this is the gathering place of sea fish.

They used to live in the deep trench where the dragon world where Leviathan lived and the human world intersected.

Unlike the sea people, they do not like to gather in shallow seas or around islands and prefer to interact with humans.

Even though the Sea Fish Tribe has a leader like Cole who escaped from the Sea People Tribe, they still prefer to stay in the dark environment of the seabed.

In addition, some fish at the intersection of the worlds have mutants with dragon bloodlines that are huge in size. When they have no worries about food and drink, they are even less willing to "make progress".

But this situation changed after the Battle of Laplace four hundred years ago.

At that time, the current 'Cole' had just been pulled out of the Sea People tribe by the Sea God, given the Sea God's coat, and became the queen of the Sea Fish tribe.

Immediately afterwards, a world war broke out in the outside world, known in history as the Battle of Laplace.

Wars do not break out suddenly.

Six hundred years before this, at the end of the Second Human-Demon War, Laplace, who was plotted against by the Human-God, had successfully reincarnated.

However, due to being split, he became two separate individuals - Laplace, the "Demon God" who inherited his hatred for "people", and Laplace, the "God of Skill" who inherited his hatred for "God".

The "Demon God" Laplace was true to his instincts. In just six hundred years, he exerted tremendous action and quickly unified the entire demon clan, pacified the Demon Continent, and established a country with a military and political system similar to the unified demon world.

After spending many years persuading the sea tribe and the beast tribe, Laplace successfully invaded the central continent four hundred years ago.

——At that time, Poseidon sent the previous Cole to negotiate with him.

Because at the end of the Second Human-Demon War, when the Human-God tempted Leviathan, he had already paid the price:
——The Lingus Sea where the sea people live.

So Leviathan should naturally fulfill his promise: after the half of Laplace that hates humans is resurrected, he will help him and the demons cross the ocean and counterattack the human continent.

But he still had some thoughts: Anyway, you have already paid the stakes, and it is an objective fact that the Lingus Sea is occupied by the sea people. So it's okay for me to slack off.

Help counterattack the human continent?

I'm helping.

Therefore, the sea tribe became the means of transportation for the demon tribe at that time, responsible for helping the demon tribe cross the sea and send them to a location where they could conduct land battles.

Then, all staff members 'sit on the fence' and wait for orders.

If you, the demon god, can conquer the human race, I will help you at the last moment. No problem. I will add icing on the cake and use the magic circle that connects the seabed under Liupu City and the Red Dragon Mountains to add fuel to the war and promote the victory of your demon race.

How about it, am I a good ally?

But then again.

If you, the demon king, are defeated step by step, we will definitely not help you. Anyway, I have "fulfilled" my promise and created very good conditions for your surprise attack. If you didn't defeat the human race, it's because your demon race is not strong enough. Can you still blame us, the sea race?

As expected, the demons are not strong enough.

Just when Leviathan was trying to figure out how to recall all the tribes and sea beasts he had sent out and pretend that nothing had happened, "bad luck" came knocking on his door.

The conclusion is that Leviathan was beaten half to death.

But in the end, he reached an "immortal genocide" agreement with the other party who brought him misfortune.

The condition is that Leviathan swallows all the sea fish into his body to create a "small world" so that the other party can pretend to be the "god" of this small world to achieve his own goals.

What happened next was very simple. Cole followed Leviathan's will to lead the sea fish tribe into the future. After Leviathan's death, he met the new "Lord Poseidon" in Leviathan's corpse, received power from Him, and then received the message of "world destruction".

Only then was he ordered this group of sea fish to build an island city in the sea that was similar to land.

In order to prepare for returning to the sea surface in the future.

Therefore, Arkham, the capital of the sea fish tribe located in the "deep sea" in the belly of Leviathan, is still a new city.

It was almost entirely planned and built by Cole.

Although Cole has many of the innocence of young mermaids, it must be said that she is a management talent with a strong affinity, a bit like Ariel.

Knowing people and making good use of them
"Chichichichi, chichichichichi, chichichichi!!"

Serious translation: (Sir! Sir! You are testing my little snail eye so well! The snail eye is about to rot! Sir, please be gentler! I can’t stand the pricking! My shell is about to crack!!)
“Gujiguji, gujigujiguji!!”

Serious translation: (Little slut, do you like the test by Master Doffi? Tell me!)
“Jiji!!!” (It feels so good. It hurts so much!)

With a crisp sound, the blue and white fish belly crushed a huge conch with a diameter of two meters and gorgeous patterns into powder.

The tender pink conch meat inside was torn into pieces by the broken conch shell, and it looked like a piece of freshly-baked sashimi.

The leader of the anti-Sea God Cult, the ancient sea fish tribe 'Doffy', the current head is a young man with rough behavior.

The pair of pitch-black eyeballs were located on both sides of a long, narrow, protruding beak, which contained many sharp teeth.

With a "pop" sound, it pulled the thing under its belly out of the broken pieces of female conch's flesh, and spit out a mouthful of refreshing saliva from its mouth with disdain.

"If you can't handle the pressure, you should get a new mule mother next time. She should have a tough shell!"

Arkham has no serious narration, but Dolphy's performance is very serious.

Without even looking at the pile of rotten meat, it swung its tail to the colorful coral throne beside it and lay down comfortably.

The attendant who looked like a grouper and was responsible for delivering various sea creatures to the new emperor every day swam to its side along the waterway between the floors of the palace made of red coral and called out in a low voice.

"I understand, Master Doffy."

"Call me Your Majesty Doffy!"

"Well, Lord Doffy. Today we have intelligence from the front, and you should listen to it."

Doffy's black eyes rolled around, staring straight at this confidant who was poisoned by Cole's advocacy of learning human culture and was bent on playing the role of "honest minister". After a long while, he grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"We are against the Poseidon Cult, and this human culture should be thrown away!"

Grouper does not look sideways.

"Lord Dophy, you and I both know that the fight against Poseidon is just a pretext to overthrow Cole's rule. The human race does have a lot of culture that is suitable for building a 'country' and worth learning. Now that the palace has been built and the subjects have become subjects, we should not return to the past 'ethnic group' era.

In this case, you can only call yourself "Sir", but not "Emperor", right?"

Doffy waved his bony fins, which looked like many hands.

"Alright, you are just as pedantic as those subjects outside. Look at them. I have repeatedly emphasized that they don't need to pray to the fake god in the sky every day, but they just won't listen. What a bunch of uncivilized and stupid sea creatures."

The palace has no doors at all, and one can see what's happening outside through the gaps between the rugged coral pillars.

One kilometer away, in the residential area outside the palace, all kinds of strange sea creatures were seen lying on the gray-white coral reef ground, exposing their abdomens, and praying to the Leviathan heart that was ten thousand meters above Arkham's head.

Many of the sea fish inside are already falling asleep comfortably.

I have to say that Cole is smart. He set the praying posture as the most comfortable sleeping posture for all sea fish. In this way, all sea fish will like the act of "praying" from the bottom of their hearts.

And they are devoutly unwilling to change their daily routine and beliefs.

Grouper:
"Lord Dophy, I have very urgent and important information." "Okay, got it. Now, what stupid thing did that old man Ertpus and that dear former queen mermaid who didn't give me grass do? Didn't they try to return to the land before? They are really two idiots. No, I should thank them for their stupidity. They sent the "Secret Sword of the Dead Ghost" into the sea to become the lord of the maze called "Fire Mountain Prison", which gave us an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"The first piece of information is: The Ghostly Secret Sword seems to have been driven out of the sea by the human race."

"Hahahahaha!! Ridiculous!! Ridiculous!! This is the funniest human joke I've ever heard! But there is actually a human who can expel the "Secret Sword of the Dead Ghost", Gulu! He is awesome!"

"The second piece of information is: Artbus and Cole invited that human to come down to the Abyss. The unusual summoning technique a while ago was their attempt to devour that human with the remains of Lord Leviathan."

".This sounds stupid, how can humans coexist with the sea people?"

"The third piece of intelligence is: They are marching all their forces to Arkham."

".Yu.Gulu wait a minute, then. Where is that human monkey?"

"Fourth piece of information: That human is with them."

"What!?"

With a loud bang, the coral throne collapsed.

Doffy's huge head suddenly came close to the attendant.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier!?"

The grouper was like an emotionless robot fish. "You just said, 'No one should bother me until I fuck this snail to pieces.' So I just stood there silently waiting for you to fuck it to pieces."

Doffy:.
"The human monkey is stronger than Cole?"

"I don't know, but according to previous intelligence, since the "Dead Ghost Secret Sword" was expelled by him, he is naturally very strong. But the human race is very cunning, and likes to use the loopholes in the maze to find ways to kill the lord, and they always act in groups. I think in terms of strength alone, he is not as strong as the "Dead Ghost Secret Sword." "

"I said that I had sent your tribe's "Stinger Carts" to guard the exits of the North and South Straits. I thought they would confront Layele's "Iron Skeleton Heads". Now I'm going to increase the number of troops and kill all those stupid fish in Layele in one fell swoop during the confrontation!"

"That's the news coming from the front line as well."

"That's good. I think victory is just a matter of time."

The strange holes on both sides of Doffy's head were emitting a fishy smell. Although it had been on land for so long, it still preferred the touch of the deep sea's minced meat ocean.

Just then, a swordfish swam in from the waterway between the distant coral pillars.

"Something terrible has happened! Your Highness! King! Three days ago, the "Assassination Army" was completely wiped out by the rebels!"

"What?! What exactly happened? Tell me now!"

"According to the news from the defeated "Assassin's Chariot" army, that human monkey can breathe fire! It burned the Assassin's Chariot army to ashes in a few breaths!"

"?? Fire breathing? Is that a human? Impossible! Investigate again and report back!"

——The next day was the "Deep Sea" day.

"Something bad has happened! Your Highness! King! The Aochi Army has also been defeated by the rebels!"

Dophy found it absurd, and laughed out of anger, hissing. "What are you talking about? That human again? Can it breathe fire again? Was the "Ao Chi Army" defeated by that monkey breathing fire again?"

"Ah, you are so wise indeed!"

".I, you.
Confirm the authenticity of the information and then come back to me! I think you are just fooling me?
It must be that old man from the "Ao Chi Tribe" who wants to force me to give them privileges like the "Ertpus Tribe" and let them return to their tribes and carve out a sea boundary to govern themselves like Layele! Report back if you explore again!"

——Another "Deep Sea" day.

“Something bad is going to happen”

"Did the Aochi Army get burned to ashes?!"

"No! They surrendered to the enemy!"

"Gulu??"

——Another "Abyssal Sea" day.

"event."

"Tell me quickly! Was yesterday's news fake?"

"The Armored Land Army has surrendered to the enemy! They have also sent us a message, urging us to return to the great embrace of Her Majesty Queen Cole as soon as possible!"

"Who are you calling Your Highness!!!"

"My Lord! They said so!"

——Another "Deep Sea" day.

"Big"

".So, who has surrendered to the enemy again?"

"'Doffy's Guards'! Your father has sent us a message, advising us to turn back from our wrong path, to recognize our ancestors as soon as possible, to stop resisting, and to welcome Her Majesty Cole back to her throne."

"you!!"

"what!!"

Doffy swung his bony fin and slashed with a knife, killing the grouper's subordinate who came to deliver the message.

He glared at himself, then turned to look at the current leader of the grouper clan, the leader of the "Thorn Chariot Army" that had been annihilated in the first round of battle, and also his closest guard.

"You have been silent for so many days, what are you thinking about? What do you think we should do now?"

The grouper also acts as an emotionless "loyal minister" like a robot fish.

"I think we should surrender to the enemy as well."

Hiss! Hiss! After a burst of noisy breathing like a bellows, Doffy calmed down and stared at the grouper with his two black eyes.

"You're provoking me!"

The grouper replied immediately.

"You already know what to do now, don't you? If we surrender to the enemy, we will all die miserably. It's time to let go of your loyalty to the Lord of the Sea. Otherwise, you will never have the chance to be loyal again."

Doffy turned his body with a loud noise.

"Let's go! Take all the magic stones left in the capital and go to the Poseidon Altar!"

-

The Altar of Poseidon is located in the very center of Arkham. Looking down, it is the largest piece of land in Arkham.

Densely packed magic array patterns were engraved on the reef, and it was covered with magic stone powder.

The tall coral pillars around it are like trees planted around the altar, surrounding the huge open space with a diameter of more than 30 meters, which is actually the altar but is actually the transfer magic circle.

The leader of the anti-Sea God cult, the sea fish tribe, Doffy.

Prone on the ground, chanting the name of Lord Poseidon in the language of Poseidon.

Even though it was a straight knife, the destination of the magical fluctuations of the essence of summoning was not the Lord Leviathan of the past, but the god they revered.

But there is no other way.

The world is so ridiculous. After all, the anti-Sea God Cult is just an excuse for these sea fish tribes to usurp the throne.

Which is more important, fish life or faith?
Action provides the answer.

The light of the magic circle lingers around the altar, and the name being sung responds to the prayers of His devout believers.

Brilliant, sparkling light.

In the extinguished light of the magic circle, he leaped lightly and jumped into Doffy's eyes:
It was a gorgeous and simple armor.
