Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 208 "The Twelve Stars should thank me!"

Quilt was the only S-rank Awakener among them. Looking at the humanoid creature that emerged from the solid ice, and combined with the familiar frost power of this sea area, he understood almost without needing to confirm.

really!

It's you, kid!

Where is that rotting whale?!
His blood boiled, and he roared as he leaped out of Constantinople, like the strongest gladiator entering his arena. However, he did not reopen any wounds, but simply activated the normal state of "Invincible God of War," making the 69 scars on his body shine with the fiery red light of magma, giving him a basic strength boost.

Tearing scars can enhance strength, but the most important effect is restoring status, and the effect is not obvious after one or two uses, so there is no need to use it.

He had his colleagues and Wang Chuan backing him up.

Instead of relying on our basic strength, let's probe this guy's true strength again!
Look at that rotting whale that he had severely injured half of; did he really kill it?

"Quelt?!"

As soon as Shi Ming leaped out of the solid ice, he noticed three huge ships not far away.

Just as the Eye of the Mortal Realm predicted, this former defeated foe has actually attacked again.

And they even pulled off a big stunt, getting backing from their accomplices?
Just by glancing at the size of the three drifting ships not far away, each of them being six or seven hundred meters long, Shi Ming was certain that these were three general-class drifting ships from the Europa Sea.

He recognized Fontainebleau, and the other two were most likely two of the following: Constantinople, Tudor Rose, and Matador.

Of the four Europa-class ships, three are now gathered here.

Without a doubt, they weren't there to deal with me; their target was most likely the Twilight Whale.

unfortunately,

You're too late!
He unleashed Ragnarok and proactively reduced the area of ​​the battlefield of fallen gods to its minimum.

It can only cover a combat area of ​​about fifty meters.

The sea smelled of rust, and a somber, decaying atmosphere returned.

Shi Ming's height of 1.83 meters remained unchanged, but his aura became tall and majestic. He no longer resembled an ordinary human, but rather a giant descending from the sacred plateau, bearing endless epics on his shoulders.

The human body can stand tall and upright.

Even the shadows cast on the sea under the moonlight stretched into the outline of giants.

Twilight Giant.

"As expected, you killed that whale!"

Quilt became even more furious.

I was tricked from beginning to end! I became a part of that kid's plan! I did all the work for someone else's benefit.

Shi Ming ignored his anger and was instead quite excited.

Having just acquired this skill, he immediately has a punching bag to help him practice, allowing him to familiarize himself with the skill in battle—isn't that perfect! The only thing to be careful about is not to go all out, lest it affect ordinary people with whom he has no conflict, causing irreparable trouble.

……

……

……

"He's human?"

Elizabeth frowned slightly as she looked at the towering figure, over 1.8 meters tall, in the distance. As the captain of a general-class ship, she was incredibly perceptive and sensed the extraordinary aura emanating from the mysterious man from afar, even surpassing that of Quilt.

Her rosy red lips parted slightly, unsure whether to join in.

The Tudor Rose's defense system, built upon the combined strength of an ancient, unparalleled nation, is remarkably sophisticated. Even against S-class sea monsters, it can barely hold its own for a time. If it can't withstand them, it can simply escape. This time, it is said to be acting as the vanguard, but in reality, it is scouting the way for the royal ship to find the most time- and energy-efficient route, while also earning contribution points.

She wouldn't take action if she were to face an S-class sea monster head-on.

Why risk your life for a contribution of tens of thousands of points?

In the end, the sea monsters will belong to others, but the losses will be our own.

Now the sea monsters have vanished, and a human has appeared.

Could it be that the sea beast had already been killed by the human before him? Was that why Quilt was so enraged and hot-blooded that he started fighting?

……

Wright also recognized Stone.

Unlike Elizabeth's astute assessment of the situation, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and could only sigh.

He wasn't too angry with Shi Ming. Back then, during the Battle of Olympus, he was tricked by the villain Ashina from the Uzu Kingdom at the last moment, losing the Ocean-Stabilizing Pearl. Ashina was then killed by Miss Yan. At that time, facing Miss Yan at full strength, he had completely lost all his chances.

If they hadn't escaped quickly, they might have been silenced by Miss Yan.

Shi Ming emerged as the ultimate winner, a result that Wright found easier to accept.

But that Ocean-Calming Pearl... and my own family's obviously one-sided affection...

Ugh!
If they had known this outcome, they shouldn't have gone on the expedition in the first place.

……

Behind Fontainebleau, the shadows of the twelve stars have already appeared above the sea level.

Wright and Elizabeth watched the two fight without intervening. The situation was clear: the radar of the general-class drifting ship could not detect any other creatures in this area, but it did detect a huge skeleton on the seabed, which was suspected to be the rotting whale in the report.

Given Quilt's intense resentment, the S-class sea monster is most likely already dead.

Wright's mind raced.

The purpose of this trip is unlikely to be achieved.

However, if they could recruit a powerful individual for the Twelve Stars, that would be a great achievement.

However, he couldn't get involved in this kind of battle and could only wait for an opportunity.

!!!

Kong!
A strange fluctuation appeared in this sea area.

Quilt was overjoyed, but was knocked over by Shi Ming's punch and sank into the water. Wright and Elizabeth were shocked. This was the "King-type" characteristic of the twelve-star King-class drifting ship.

Dominate the world!

Each King-class drifting ship possesses unique King characteristics; the twelve-star "Reign of the World" is perfectly suited for maritime expeditions.

Before the Emperor's Reign, all ships of general rank or below are nothing more than scrap metal!
All sea monsters below Rank A will only be able to unleash 10% of their power!
As the Emperor descended upon the world, two more figures appeared simultaneously! They were the two S-rank Awakened Ones who had set off with the Twelve Stars, arriving at the battlefield before the Twelve Stars. Shi Ming was quite familiar with one of them.

Mr. Lei possesses the S-rank skill, Inextricable Purple Thunder.

"Quelt, Stone... young brother, what's going on?"

They were supposed to be looking for sea monsters, so how did they end up fighting with humans?!
and,

Isn't this Shi Ming, the one who killed Miss Yan, angered the Lighthouse, and was even retaliated against twice by Pharaoh?
This kind of jinx is carefree and fearless.
A force like the Lighthouse can be provoked and killed without hesitation!

Why did you provoke him?
"That sea monster! He stole it!"

Mr. Lei felt as if he were in a dream, and for a moment, he felt that history always repeats itself in an astonishing way.

Shi Ming flexed his wrists.

"how,"

Are you all planning to come at me together?

In the recent battle with Quilt, Quilt didn't use the Invincible God of War, and Shi Ming didn't use his full strength either; they were just familiarizing themselves with the skills. Such a durable punching bag is rare, and although the Ragnarok effect is powerful, it is delayed.

Shi Ming is still in the Twilight Giant state.

His voice was deep and resonant, yet powerful and awe-inspiring, possessing immense penetrating force. It was deep and majestic, and could be faintly heard even from the twelve stars, which were more than ten nautical miles away.

"Speaking of which, you twelve stars should thank me. I eliminated two S-class sea monsters in the Europa Sea."

"Deep Sea Titan, Twilight Whale".

When he said this,

He glanced at Mr. Ray and Quilter respectively.

This is a fact that is easy to verify.

"These sea monsters are the common enemy of mankind. Whoever kills them first gets them. Peace prizes and bounties are irrelevant. Quilt, you yourself are not skilled enough, so what do you mean by instigating a King-class drifting ship and three General-class drifting ships to besiege me?"

"Are the King-class drifting ships meant to be used against humanity itself?"

He stood at the highest point.

Quilt turned pale with anger.

How shameless!
In the sea where dawn was just breaking, Shi Ming and the twelve stars gazed at each other from afar.

Compared to the sea fortresses stretching for tens of kilometers, his spine stood straight as a javelin, his imposing presence in the face of dominance was in no way inferior, and the area where he stood seemed to have formed an absolute stillness.

For a time,

The ocean seems to have become two worlds.

A steel fortress, arriving from afar, reigning supreme.

A being belonging to insignificant humankind, standing tall and resolute, enduring a thousand years of frost and snow.
