"Captain, those pirate spies have been captured, and Hai Liang also spotted the sea monster, it's..."

"The lookout has not spotted the Flying Ship!"

Inside the bridge, First Mate Jim reported the current situation to Captain Williams.

“We’ve searched the surrounding waters, and I’ve sent a few more people over, but we haven’t seen a single pirate ship.”

"No?"

Captain Williams frowned and subconsciously touched his chest.

In that incredibly realistic dream, he was pierced through the heart by an octopus tentacle and exploded to his death.

Even now, a faint stinging pain still emanates from there!
It shouldn’t be!

The pirate spy has been found, and the sea monster's figure has appeared beneath the surface of the sea, which proves that the omens in the dream were true.

But why has the most important pirate ship disappeared without a trace?

"Investigate again! Report back!"

"Keep a close watch on the ship and continue at full speed toward Roside Island!"

"No matter what those damned pirates are up to, we'll be safe once we reach the Roside Islands!"

After a moment's thought, Captain Williams issued a series of orders.

"Bring those pirate spies up here. I want to interrogate them myself!"

"Yes! Captain!"

……

"Great Titan, your most devout follower Jules, I beseech you to bestow your divine grace!"

Inside the lower deck cabin, Jules knelt on the bed, his hands pressed against his chest, his head bowed in silent prayer.

Ten minutes later, nothing happened!

"Strange? Why isn't it working? Could it really just be my imagination?"

Jules had some self-doubt, but he quickly regained his resolve.

Everyone else on the ship also dreamed of pirates attacking; this must be a divine revelation!
more importantly.

Through conversations with those around him, Jules discovered that, apart from him, everyone else seemed to have only experienced the dream once.

He not only experienced it twice, but also received a blessing from the gods during the second dream!

"And Mr. Lucas and Miss Rose, I wonder if they have any memory of the second dream..."

Jules murmured softly, and soon began to pray devoutly again.

The Cedric is currently under martial law, so he can only try to verify this matter after the martial law is lifted.

Meanwhile, Lucas in second class and Rose in first class also faced the same questions.

These three people, from different social classes, who would normally never have crossed paths, are bound together by an unexpected dream.

……

In the vast, deep blue sea, a red-and-white mast sailboat flashed across the water.

The color of seawater is actually quite light, but when thousands of meters of seawater are piled up together, the color becomes dark and deep.

Mu Sheng drove the Holy Light at breakneck speed, not even knowing where he had ended up.

"Huh! What did I do with this?"

Looking around at the identical sea, Mu Sheng realized he was somewhat lost.

"Luckily, I marked it on the Cedric. Let me see which direction it's in?"

With a thought, Mu Sheng's consciousness instantly rose, and he arrived in the Spirit Realm, where a large number of light spots appeared in his perception.

Some are the locations of the followers who were granted the seed of giants, while others are spatial imprints he left behind.

After advancing to Sequence 5, Mu Sheng's 'travel' ability will allow him to achieve long-distance spatial leaps through the Spirit Realm.

The only problem is that you need an anchor point in the real world, otherwise it's easy to lose your way.

To solve this problem, Mu Sheng used the extraordinary abilities of the 'Furnace Mage' to integrate the Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu from the Naruto world and the Apparition Spell from the Harry Potter world.

It created a spiritual version of the spatial imprint!

Before he began his journey, he had already left numerous spatial imprints in various cities of the Kingdom of Rune.

The Cedric was no exception!

"Found it! It's over there!"

Mu Sheng quickly determined the direction of the Cedric; there were only a few lonely marks around it, making it all too obvious.

"Um, I'll make a note of that. I'll mark the coordinates of the mark later."

The spatial imprints are few in number now and easy to identify, but if the whole world becomes one, they will be easily confused.

After confirming the direction, Mu Sheng turned the helm, and the Holy Light drew a beautiful arc on the sea surface, speeding towards the Cedric.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The Holy Light, traveling at high speed, seemed to float on the sea, with only a small part of its hull submerged.

The dark seawater was ripped open by the powerful impact, shooting out streaks of milky white water.

Powered by steam and aided by wind-element sails, the Holy Light sped across the sea at 40 knots.

It's worth noting that the fastest warship in the Kingdom of Rune only reaches a speed of 26 knots.

A speed of 40 knots was already incredibly fast for a ship of that era.

"It's still a bit too slow!"

After speeding around the sea in the Holy Light, Mu Sheng, having had his fill of fun, started complaining that the magic ship was too slow.

"The ship's streamlined shape and the extraordinary abilities engraved on it still need some work!"

Mu Sheng secretly noted this down, and then with a thought, his spirituality instantly enveloped the ship, activating his 'time travel' ability.

The hull of the Holy Light suddenly became blurry, and then it entered a psychedelic and hazy world.

Traveling through the spirit world!

The next second, Mu Sheng locked onto the spatial imprint on the Cedric.

Pulled by the anchor point in reality, the Holy Light traveled a distance in the spirit world along a strange trajectory before becoming blurry again and disappearing from the spirit world!

"Shh!"

In the real world, above the Cedric, a thirty-meter-long redwood sailboat with white trim suddenly appeared!

This immediately caught the attention of the crew members who were still on guard duty on deck.

"Lord of the Storms! I see a ship flying by!"

"Alarm! Sound the alarm! Pirates are attacking!"

The crew panicked and mistook the suddenly appearing mast sailboat for a pirate ship.

However, the next second, the mast sailboat suddenly disappeared, as if it had never been there at all.

The crew was at a loss, and soon someone ran to inform Captain Williams!

"A redwood sailboat with white trim flying in the sky?"

Captain Williams was even more confused. What was all this about?!

He even began to doubt whether he was still in that incredibly realistic dream!

Just then, Williams heard First Mate Jim's exclamation: "Captain, look! A pirate spy has suddenly died!"

Captain Williams was taken aback by what he heard, then left the sailor who came to report and walked towards First Mate Jim.

Among the pirate spies who were originally tied to chairs and subjected to severe torture, the leader, the 'Hunter' pirate, had died for some unknown reason.

Captain Williams rushed forward to check on the man, a thin, brown-haired man, and found him dead in his chair, blood seeping from every pore. "Not poison, not an external attack, no residual spiritual energy..."

Captain Williams became increasingly astonished as he examined the man; it was as if all the cells in his body had suddenly exploded on their own.

What kind of mysterious method is this?

"Captain, shall we continue the interrogation?" First Mate Jim asked.

Captain Williams frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "No need. Take them all aboard and hand them over to the local 'punishers' when we reach the Rothschild Islands!"

The Punishers are the extraordinary institutions of the Church of Storms, and Captain Williams' faith is in the Lord of Storms.

Or rather, most of the extraordinary people who make a living on the sea worship the Lord of Storms.

After all, the ocean is the domain of the lord of storms!

……

Suddenly, Mu Sheng appeared in the cabin on the third floor.

However, this bizarre scene went unnoticed by Lucas, the burly man inside the room.

In his mind, Mu Sheng had always stayed in the room.

"Moo~ Moo~"

As soon as Mu Sheng returned to the Cedric, he heard the faint cry of the Kraken sea monster from the ocean below the ship.

Since it had not received any further orders from its master, Vice Admiral Deepsea, the Kraken had no choice but to continue following the Cedric.

"I almost forgot about you, little one!"

Before Mu Sheng could even settle into his seat, he was suddenly plunged into the floor below, emerging from the hull and into the deep ocean.

A giant monster resembling a manatee appeared in his sight.

"Such a large size is not easy to handle!"

Mu Sheng 'traveled' through the seawater, circling the Kraken sea monster once, somewhat troubled about how to deal with it.

Although the 'Forge Mage' has integrated many ninjutsu and spells, they are all low-level ninjutsu and spells.

More advanced versions will require even more time!

"What should we do?"

Mu Sheng stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then quickly came up with an idea.

"I've got it! The 'Rose Bishop' can use blood magic to hide herself inside someone else's stomach. We can just modify that ability!"

Without hesitation, Mu Sheng retrieved a palm-sized jellyfish with a pale blue sheen from a distant sea.

"You're so cute, so you're the one!"

The jellyfish swayed its tentacles unconsciously, completely unaware of what the creature in front of it was saying.

Blood magic!

Mu Sheng held a light blue jellyfish in one hand and aimed the Kraken, the sea monster that was still chasing the Cedric, at the other.

A vast surge of spiritual energy flowed into the 'furnace,' and the 'sequence rune' representing the 'Rose Bishop' shone brightly.

The Kraken, a sea monster several meters long, suddenly wriggled and twisted into a liquid that flowed into the pale blue jellyfish's body.

Despite the enormous object entering its body, the pale blue jellyfish remained completely unchanged in size.

"This is a miracle of life!"

"It looks so small, yet it can withstand such a huge impact!"

Mu Sheng shook his head and sighed for a while, then took out a glass jar and stuffed the pale blue jellyfish into it.

Then, with a thought, he used his 'time travel' ability to send it to the Kingdom of Rune, thousands of kilometers away.

……

Backlund, Queens, Earl Hall's House.

Miss Audrey, who was busy dealing with a whole host of things at the 'Reform Society', suddenly saw a glass jar filled with water appear in the air in front of her.

Before she could react, the glass jar in front of her suddenly fell to the ground.

"Eh!!!"

Audrey was startled and instinctively reached forward to hold the glass jar firmly in her arms.

"That was close, it almost broke!"

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief and carefully placed the glass jar on the table.

"This Victory, he didn't even tell me beforehand. What if I hadn't realized what was happening?"

Audrey pouted and complained with a dissatisfied look on her face.

Then her gaze was drawn to the pale blue jellyfish in the glass jar!

"Is that a jellyfish? It's so beautiful!"

Audrey watched the little creature swimming leisurely in the glass jar and immediately fell in love with it.

Just then, the bone fragment fused in the back of her hand suddenly sent her a video.

The video shows Mu Sheng using 'blood magic' to seal the Kraken, a sea monster over ten meters long, inside a pale blue jellyfish.

"Sea...sea monster?"

Audrey's joyful expression immediately vanished.

The little cutie in front of her was also twisted into a huge, ugly sea monster in her eyes.

"You're letting me raise something this terrifying?"

Audrey's chest immediately swelled, her lungs filled with resentment towards Mu Sheng.

"Don't get angry! Don't get angry! Getting sick from anger will leave you with no one to take your place..."

Slowly exhaling the resentment in her stomach and calming down, Audrey carried the glass jar to the next room and placed it next to a pot of roses with human faces on them.

"Yah~"

The human-faced rose-shaped meat shred looked curiously at its new companion, pulled out a root, and stuck it into the glass jar.

Seeing the two little ones getting along so well, Audrey nodded in satisfaction and went back to her work.

"Comrades in the slums of Dongcheng District have reported several cases of workers suddenly falling ill and dying recently, suspecting a possible connection to an evil organization..."

Audrey's heart skipped a beat!
"An organization of evil gods, such an extraordinary force involving evil gods, will most likely produce Sequence 7 or even higher extraordinary individuals!"

Although, thanks to Mu Sheng's blessing, she has become a Sequence 7 'psychologist'.

However, those extraordinary individuals in the 'spectator' pathway have little ability to engage in direct combat before reaching higher sequences.

Moreover, it was an evil god organization, which made Audrey instinctively a little scared, especially after being baptized by Mu Sheng Gou Dao's ideology.

"It's too dangerous, so... let's leave it to the official extraordinary individuals to handle!"

Audrey quickly devised a solution, issued it through 'Infinite Illusion,' and also copied Mu Sheng.

Evening came quickly, and Audrey, who had been busy all day, went to bed to rest.

Meanwhile, in a house in the Hillston district.

With her pale blue eyes, Fors Wall gazed at the crimson full moon outside the window, yet she couldn't close her eyes.

"The babbling is coming again!"

Fors gripped the dominoes tightly, her eyes resolute.

Half an hour later, a frenzied murmur and scream echoed in her mind...
