Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 206 Obtaining Ragnarok! Devouring the Formless Pure Ice!
Seven hours ago, at the site where the Twilight Whale fell.

Having finally killed the Twilight Whale, Shi Ming used his right arm, burning with excitement, to stab the S-class sea beast in the heart. This was where the power of Twilight was most abundant, and the enormous energy was guided by his right arm, flowing orderly into Shi Ming's body.

Compared to the dead sea beasts, he now resembled a giant whale devouring the sea.

Call ~
He felt signs of corrosion in his body, but it was hard to avoid. He temporarily ignored these details, slowly closed his eyes, and felt the power merge with him—a necessary step.

Although it wasn't the first time, every time it was so enjoyable!

The satisfaction of the desire for power is more exhilarating than the battle itself.

This sea area was already deathly still, undisturbed by anyone.

……

One whale falls, and all things come to life.

Dawn and dusk cycle, life and death are intertwined.

Shi Ming opened his eyes, and a powerful light emanated from them.

34 minutes, a little longer than the Titans' time.

It seemed that all the power of this whale had been absorbed by Shi Ming. The more than 200-meter-long behemoth had now been reduced to a skeleton with only a few pieces of flesh remaining. Its heart was shriveled, and the remaining flesh was slowly washed away by the underwater currents, returning to the sea in the manner of a whale fall.

Normally, the death of a marine mammal would not cause it to decompose so quickly.

But not all sea creatures are the same; the Twilight Whale is synonymous with corruption.

Having confirmed his successful awakening, Shi Ming examined the changes in his body.

A sharper glint appeared in his eyes, his left eye was hazy and yellowish, and his right eye was sharp and bright like the dawn. Then these strange phenomena were suppressed by the Eye of the Mortal World and quickly dissipated, and Shi Ming's eyes returned to their usual appearance.

His body, the right half of which was a healthy light tan, was...

The left half is slightly darker in color, as if a layer of yellowish filter has been applied, but there are no signs of decay.

Of course, most importantly, there are new skills!
Twilight of the Gods!

With a thought, Shi Ming released the skill, and the Battlefield of Fallen Gods unfolded once again on the seabed. The phantom of the World Tree and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood presented a powerful pressure in this sea area, but there were no living beings here. Shi Ming could only roughly sense its power and know its abilities from a first-person perspective.

This is a skill with no cooldown period.

As long as the body can withstand it, it can be used indefinitely.

Moreover, the effect achieved by Shi Ming was exactly the same as that achieved by Twilight Whale, without any discount.

There is no weak triadic inheritance.

Moreover, after casting it, one will enter the state of "Twilight Giant," becoming a giant in a "symbolic sense" while maintaining the same body size. In terms of power, oppressiveness, and vitality, it is comparable to the legendary giant creatures.

The only drawback is that by inheriting the power of the Twilight Whale, it also inherits its unstoppable fate.

Without any special circumstances, this body will slowly decay, accumulating entropy and heading towards an irreversible state of "annihilation." The more skills are used and the higher the temperature, the faster the entropy increases. Theoretically, the complete decay process takes at least sixty years, and even without any intervention, it can be guaranteed to die of old age.

But Shi Ming had a special fate.

Formless Pure Ice!

As expected, the Eye of the Mortal Realm reminded him once again!
It has always been very active at such major junctures.

Although Ragnarok is powerful, and the Ragnarok giant is handsome and imposing.

But a worldly perspective forces you to remember...

You need to swallow the Formless Pure Ice within five minutes and forty-eight seconds.

[The entropy value of your left side will begin to increase in five minutes and forty-eight seconds. This increase in entropy is irreversible and will lead to ever-increasing chaos and corruption. If you don't want to drag along half a crippled body like the Twilight Whale, you need to devour the Formless Pure Ice as soon as possible! Let "Ragnarok" and the "Third Law" suppress each other.]

[Through suppression and fusion, it evolves into a completely new state.]

Moreover, the Eye of the Mortal Realm is also very curious.

What will this entirely new and unknown state be like?

curious?

No wonder the Eye of the Mortal Realm never mentioned this entirely new state; it turns out they were unaware of it.

The complaints didn't affect his actions. A perfect crystal appeared in Shi Ming's hand. This was a rare item ranked 48th. As long as he ate it and survived for 120 seconds, he could replace any ice-attribute skill with the "Third Law" on the S-rank skill list, regardless of its level.

Ice Annihilation, it's time to improve!

The powerful outward-spreading cold energy and the perpetually frozen zone of -45 degrees Celsius were already tolerable for Shi Ming in his twilight state. He even found it somewhat comfortable.

He brought the perfectly cut crystal with 256 facets to his lips.

Insert it directly into the mouth.

Gulu.

Swallowed.

Uh……

A powerful chill exploded within his body, instantly causing Shi Ming to arch his back and clutch his abdomen tightly. He felt his organs freezing, the extreme cold condensing into every cell of his body! It caused every part of his body structure to freeze and cease functioning.

He felt his body temperature dropping rapidly.

He felt his thoughts becoming more organized, and the chaos beginning to dissipate.

He felt he was about to become a perfect, absolute zero crystal.

Fortunately, the power of the twilight state is the nemesis of the Third Law. The two completely different powers are locked in a tug-of-war within Shi Ming's body, preventing him from dying in the extreme cold.

Click click click.

Centered on the stone inscription, the seawater on the seabed rapidly froze into extremely solid ice.

Shi Ming convulsed in the extreme cold, and with a mighty struggle, he broke free of the ice with a loud bang.

But the ice quickly froze again.

Shi Ming broke free again.

The ice refreezes.

After several attempts, he stopped struggling and began to lie flat in a more comfortable position, accepting the situation of being frozen. He then began to focus his thoughts and strength on his body, concentrating on fighting against and absorbing the power of the formless pure ice.

The ice encasing Shi Ming grew harder and larger as it froze.

Then, with the help of buoyancy, it began to rise from the deep sea.

……

……

……

As the tug-of-war between the Formless Pure Ice and Ragnarok continued, time flew by.

As evening fell and the night deepened, Quilt returned to Constantinople. After a brief report, the First Secretary of the Twelve Stars saw an opportunity and convened an emergency meeting at around 2 a.m., setting out with three admiral-class drifting ships as the vanguard.

The rugged Roman-style Constantinople leads the way.

The Tudor Rose, adorned with an elegant emblem, follows closely behind, while the romantic and free-spirited Fontainebleau is tied for second place.

The twelve stars concluded last, with the shockwave acting as the grand finale.

The hunt, personally led by the Twelve Stars, will involve the allocation of sea beast blood and awakening slots. Even if Quilt is the one who reports, he cannot obtain priority awakening rights. He can only receive "contribution" as a reward to exchange for the necessary resources, but contribution does not necessarily guarantee an awakening slot.

The allocation of the quota should be considered from multiple perspectives.

For example, politics, backroom deals, connections...

These are unchanging unspoken rules in any era and in most organizations.

Therefore, the two S-rank Awakened on the twelve stars at this moment thought that Quilt, with his muscle-bound brain, was truly stupid; he had put all his intelligence into physical strength, which was only enough to keep him undefeated in battle. If they obtained the location and information of this sea beast, they would definitely deal with it privately, just like Wright had done before.

Although Wright failed, if it had succeeded, the return on investment would have been ridiculously high!
Even if reporting it would earn a lot of contributions, what does that amount to compared to an S-level awakening spot!
Quilt had thought so too, but after the battle with Shi Ming, his undefeated god of war only had more than thirty rounds left. Shi Ming's fighting style also made him understand a principle: perhaps sometimes, in battle, one cannot be so reckless.

Ten fish in the sea

Better to have a fish in your hand.

……

Three admiral-class drifting ships sailed like vanguards on the high seas.

Two hours later, as dawn approached, their probes detected a glacier stretching for more than ten nautical miles in the sea ahead.
