Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 114 The Titans' 12 Skills!
The Dayun cruise ship, now stationary on the sea, has activated its stealth mode.

Strictly speaking, this is not visual stealth, but rather a kind of "stealth" similar to that in the field of counter-reconnaissance. It can block detection by radar and marine animals, but it cannot block direct eye contact, so it is far from true stealth.

Even so, it is still one of the most practical models.

The Dayun is now capable of both offense and defense, and also possesses highly powerful close-in weapon systems and sea patrol radar.

Whoosh!
With everything prepared, Shi Ming piloted the Sun-Shooting Ship, disappearing into the waves like an arrow into the sea.

"Diving mode activated!"

"Invisibility mode activated!"

Unlike the Dayun, the Sheri is small in size, so its stealth mode is truly stealthy! It can disappear from the sight of other people or sea monsters along with its internal space. Not only is it difficult for the detection radar of a general-class drifting ship to detect, but it is also difficult to see with the naked eye.

It's as if they've vanished!
Now upgraded to the general level, the stealth mode of the Sun Shooter is even more powerful!

The canoe-like drifting boat moved at high speed and submerged rapidly, covering nearly 100 nautical miles in just over twenty minutes.

Shi Ming stood in the cabin, with the summit of Mount Olympus faintly visible in the distance.

At the summit of Mount Olympus stands an ancient ruin called the Pantheon. It was once the highest point in ancient Greece, but due to tectonic plate subsidence, it has now become the closest place to human habitation, just over 1000 meters above sea level.

There are no powerful sea monsters here; instead, schools of all sorts of strange and ordinary fish swim about.

The Temple of Zeus also became a habitat for sea fish.

Shi Ming sighed at the vicissitudes of life and the changing times, and maneuvered the Sun-Shooting Ship to continue its descent.

The black dots on the endless sea map are becoming increasingly conspicuous.

Some D-class sea monsters occasionally appear.

However, Shi Ming's purpose on this trip was only to gather intelligence; he had no intention of fighting any sea monsters.

His plan was to activate stealth mode and dive to a place where he could see the deep-sea titan from a distance, observing it only from afar to learn about its characteristics and attack behavior.

He left himself one more chance to use "Eye of Intelligence," intending to use it the moment he saw the S-class sea monster.

There is a high probability that we will be able to obtain deeper information about it.

Call ~
There is a special sense of oppression in this sea area.

It was very similar to the oppressive feeling Shi Ming had when he encountered the Rotten Whale.

The deeper he dived, the more he could feel the oppressive atmosphere of the seawater.

This oppressive feeling doesn't come from water pressure, nor is it a manifestation of thalassophobia. Rather, it's more like a biological pressure brought about by the solemn atmosphere of this place, a powerful sense of conquest that makes people very uncomfortable.

Mount Olympus, at an altitude of 3000 meters, experienced a tectonic plate subsidence and fracture during the Great Flood, which created a deep-sea abyss.

Beneath the ocean depths lies the habitat of the deep-sea titans.

Inside the Sunshot, the general-class drifting ship was like the safest fortress, carrying Shi Ming swiftly across the twilight layer and diving deeper into the Olympus ruins.

……

……

……

Darkness is not the only characteristic of the ocean floor.

Shi Ming discovered that at the bottom of the mountain range, the once-hard mountains had been eroded into a labyrinthine cave system. Its inner walls were covered with a kind of biofilm that seemed to be pulsating and even emitted a faint phosphorescence.

Inside a cave, there was a wriggling chamber.

Cave mother worm?

Shi Ming prepared to avoid it.

The Sun Shooting submersible, maintaining its stealth status, swam through this trench.

This place is already deep sea, and it is also the only way to dive down to the abyss. Fighting the Cave Queen may attract the attention of the Deep Sea Titan.

boom……

A wriggling chamber burst open in the seawater, and tentacle worms, each over a meter long and as thick as a thigh, split off. They easily withstood the high pressure of the seawater, their bodies covered with eye spots of various shapes, gurgling and rotating before quickly dispersing.

Not far away, on the mountainside, wriggling larvae, like seaweed, clung to the coral-covered, eroded rock face.

It sways from side to side, as if welcoming guests from afar.

Shi Ming has excellent eyesight.

However, in this situation, having good eyesight is not necessarily a good thing.

He saw it in the deepest part of the eroded cave...

It contained a huge cyst, like a tumor growing on the seabed.

Countless thick, translucent larvae continuously split off from the cyst, crawling all over the corroded cave walls, then drilling tiny holes in the stone to fit inside, leaving only one eye sticking out. The walls of Mount Olympus seemed to be inlaid with countless wriggling eyes.

Shi Ming forced himself to endure the visual discomfort.

"Fortunately, close contact with the cave queen worm did not trigger the sea beast's attack desire, which means that the current stealth mode of the Sun Shooting Ship can fool A-level sea beasts."

"The abyss is just ahead."

He was on high alert, ready at any moment to activate the Sun-Shooting Ship's special characteristics.

S-class sea monster, the first time facing an S-class sea monster!
It felt different from what I had imagined.
He felt no fear at that moment; instead, he felt an excitement and eagerness deep within him!

……

As you enter the abyss, an indescribable rhythm spreads through the seawater.

This triggered the active resurgence of the Xuanwu bloodline within Shi Ming's body.

Unseen by anyone, two S-class sea beasts have begun a silent battle, using Shi Ming's body as their battlefield.

Finally, in the lightless abyss, Shi Ming caught a glimpse of the enormous, god-like sea monster.

With just a glance, Shi Ming's eyes captured a wealth of information—

Its head resembles a sunken basalt fortress.
Abstract facial features

The giant eye resembled a deep vortex.

Its body is buried deep in the seabed, and the depth below is unknown.

Its massive body was hidden in the darkness, like a lurking beast. Its skin was covered with a layer of cooled and solidified black rock, like an underwater mountain range, and embedded with huge shell fossils, layer upon layer, as if it had been deposited for thousands of years.

The moment Shi Ming saw it, his heart pounded wildly.

The bloodline of Xuanwu is fiercely resisting the oppression of Titan.

He wasted no time and immediately activated his intelligence eye.

"Intelligence Eye, gather intelligence!"

[Beep~ Beep~]

[Intelligence being compiled...]

[Searching. Confirming host's detailed coordinates... Search successful, intelligence summary in progress... Intelligence generated!]

[S-Rank Intelligence: Investigation, Skills, and Weakness Analysis of the S-Rank Sea Beast, Deep Sea Titan]

it is good!
This trip has been worthwhile!

Before Shi Ming could take a closer look, he heard a deafening roar, and a powerful underwater current surged forth, carrying the Sun Shooting Ship like a leaf in a storm.

If the general-class drifting ship had not been extremely stable, it would have been capsized or even smashed to pieces!
This sea monster didn't use any skills; it just made a slight movement, yet its aura was terrifying.

The intelligence has been obtained; there is no need for a forceful confrontation.

Without reading intelligence, the chance of winning against this creature alone is almost zero. It would take at least three or four S-rank awakened individuals ganging up on it to have any chance of killing it.

Strategic retreat!

Sunshot! Activate your special ability!
At three times the speed of sound, even the S-class sea monster, the deep-sea titan, was only slightly taken aback and did not realize that it was being watched.

Shi Ming forcibly suppressed the fighting desire emanating from the depths of his bloodline and, on the ship, reviewed the detailed intelligence report—

[Sea Beast Name: Deep Sea Titan]

[Ranking: 66]

[An ancient behemoth lurking in the deep sea, possessing the bloodline power of the Titans. In its normal state, its body resembles cooled volcanic rock. When its bloodline power is activated, it can transform into different forms, a total of 12 forms, depending on the skills it acquires. When its bloodline is activated, a faint trace of "divinity" can be born. In times of life-or-death crisis, it can overdraw upon its accumulated bloodline energy, unleashing the "Wrath of the Twelve Titans," a power that occurs only once every thousand years.]

[Skill: Titan's Descent]

[The Deep Sea Titan awakens the power of its ancient bloodline, randomly drawing one Titan skill from the following skill pool and transforming it into the corresponding form.]

[2% probability: Temple of Time.]

"4% probability, Galactic Kingdom, Radiant Body."

"10% probability, Body of Memory, Body of Darkness, Eyes of the Sky, Chains of Order, Divine Revelation of Wisdom, Body of Eternal Calamity, Divine Oracle of Civilization, Wheel of Destiny, Sigh of the Sea."
