I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 404 A Fateful Reunion

"Finally, they've secured a stable position. Does that mean they've settled down?"

Delis sensed the direction given by the hunting priest and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Feng Xue would move to another place as soon as she got close.

Although the Hunting Wolf's offspring are very useful as hunting dogs, they can never match the Radiant Steed for long-range attacks. Along the way, every time they got close, they found that Feng Xue had changed direction again.

In other words, she mostly just wanders around the Blue Lake Island chain; otherwise, Delis would probably be cursing her mother out.

Just the day before yesterday, Feng Xue made another turn, and this time it was a non-stop one. Unfortunately, ships don't have a fixed route like cars when they're on the open sea. A gust of wind, an ocean current, or a big wave can easily cause a ship to veer off course, making it unrealistic to plan a route.

Thankfully, things finally calmed down yesterday. Although there are still occasional fluctuations, the range of fluctuations is not large.

Based on Delis's previous unsuccessful attempts, Feng Xue might only stay on the island for two or three days before leaving. Therefore, she had no choice but to give up riding the wolf again and start selecting a good "tailwind" boat.

Well, regardless of whether the wind was favorable or not before, once she gets on the ship, the wind will definitely be favorable.

The Asgardians are pirates by origin; even if they've forgotten other techniques, this is definitely one of their trump cards.

With these thoughts in mind, Delis began searching for a suitable ship. Due to the navy, pirates were not so easy to find in the Blue Lake Island Chain lately, and she also needed to find a fast ship. If she picked a conventional wind-powered junk like before, she might as well fly herself!
As they flew in Feng Xue's direction, searching for the ship, Delis's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although his vision had not yet captured the target, his spiritual intuition told him that something was rapidly approaching.

This wasn't just a random intuition; it was a sense of faith bestowed upon her by her divine authority. In a city, this technique would be practically useless, but on the sparsely populated sea, as long as she sensed fluctuations in faith, it meant that intelligent beings were approaching.

"It feels familiar, like the worship of the Earth Mother Goddess? I wonder how powerful she is..."

As Delis was pondering, she saw a familiar ship sailing towards her, instantly dispelling any hesitation she had felt earlier...

……

"George, are we really going to run? Since you've said it's an open scheme, surely the Navy can't have missed it? What if they're lying in wait outside the Blue Lake island chain?"

Listening to Jack's mutterings in his ear, George felt annoyed. He had to admit that there was some truth to what Jack said, but compared to staying in the Blue Lake Island Chain, leaving would be much less risky. After all, the Blue Lake Island Chain was so large that the Navy couldn't possibly completely encircle it along the entire sea area.

He was about to have a serious talk with Jack when suddenly his vision blurred, and then he heard Jack's somewhat exaggerated voice—

"Ms. Delis?!"

"Huh?" George never expected to encounter this lady here. He had initially thought she was just a powerful figure on the high seas, but after they successfully outmaneuvered the colonel and his flagship using only the rudiments they had learned from her, he realized that this lady was probably more than just a powerful figure.

"It's quite a coincidence, do you know... well, something happened in this direction?"

Delis pointed in a direction, and George glanced at it, then took out the latest nautical chart from the Land Seekers and compared it with his own. He hesitated for a moment before saying:
"You mean Abilate Island?" "Probably. What, you know about this island?"

Sensing the complex emotions emanating from George, Delis knew perfectly well what was happening in that direction, and her heart skipped a beat.

Having dealt with Feng Xue several times before, she naturally assumed that this was another prank by Feng Xue.

When Jack heard Delilah ask this question, he, who was already eager for adventure, immediately replied:
"Didn't you know? After Mr. Shenxiao, the Earth God's favorite, spread the Earth faith, the Navy arrested many Earth-type ability users like us and spread the news that they would publicly execute us on Abilat Island. I heard it's a large-scale blood sacrifice curse..."

"Huh?" Delis was stunned. Was it really going to be this big? A blood sacrifice? And...

"Shenxiao, that name sounds familiar. It seems to be a branch of the Eastern Jade Emperor lineage. Curse them? Are you kidding me?"

Delis has some understanding of this post-apocalyptic breeding ground, which is why she thinks about it more deeply.

Because as a breeding ground for Gu poison, the One God is destined to be a target, meant to stimulate the birth of a new god within the breeding ground. In other words, no matter which faction wins in the end, it will not be this target.

But now that the target is actually going to perform a blood sacrifice, which is likely one of the organizers' systems, she was stunned. Instantly, the events that happened in Japan in the previous world flashed through her mind.

Sea god... Yamata no Orochi... Water god... Dragon god...

Recalling the divine power that Feng Xue, as a demon god, absorbed, it was hard for Delis not to think of the sea god, but that did not mean she would become his enemy.

Feng Xue tricked her into believing that the other party was from the Takamagahara faction, and used her to weaken Takamagahara, allowing him to obtain the power of Yamata no Orochi.

Going back further, there was the time when she mistakenly believed he was a hero and had him help her complete the ritual to transform a demon king into a demon god.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

The same old tricks, how could she, Delis, a top student at Loki Academy and a genius who passed the exams for three divine offices before graduation, fail a third time?
"Yes, not attacking the sea god, but disrupting the blood sacrifice! As long as we can stop this curse, Feng Xue won't be able to profit from it. As for him, hmph, he's a weakling. I can suppress him with one hand!"

As Delis thought of this, a somewhat ferocious expression appeared on her face, which made Jack, who had originally wanted to follow the big boss and watch the show, a little worried.

But Delis was clearly not one to consider other people's opinions, and immediately said:
"Perfect timing! I remember you two are also chosen ones of the Earth Goddess, right? I'm going to Abilat Island. Would you mind giving me a ride? Just like last time, I'll teach you a few things as payment!"

George wanted to refuse, but seeing Delis's smiling yet undeniably authoritative gaze, he ultimately understood he had no right to refuse. Jack, on the other hand, hadn't thought that far ahead; his mind was filled with the words "I'll teach you something," and he immediately nodded vigorously.

"Great! The tricks you taught us last time were amazing! We completely outmaneuvered the naval officer. If we hadn't wanted to avoid making a blood feud, his entire ship would have been dead long ago..."
