Endless Ocean: Escape Starting from a Canoe

Chapter 311 The Great Black Dragon Awakens?

While the Great Black Dragon was asleep, he had some very unpleasant dreams.

In a daze, it vaguely sensed tiny, four-legged insects harassing its body, trying to scrape off fine dust and collect its molted skin!

Are these insects offering up these ash particles?
Therefore, its subconscious, even in its sleep, bestowed upon these insects the disaster they deserved! Frequent volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and earthquakes! This is the price of angering it!
Then, some audacious insects dared to usurp one of its dreams, attempting to desecrate the ruler of destruction!

hateful!

The unprecedented tsunami was also its rage.

But the inertia of its millennia-long slumber is far from enough to awaken it.

Until recently,
A swarm of ant-like creatures dared to combine the filthy cells of its mortal enemy, the Undying Evil Eye, with its own body! That repulsive aura of "eternity" is the eternal nemesis of "destruction"!

How could this not enrage it!
The earthquakes and tsunamis stirred up by the subconscious could not shake that great ship.

The unvented rage grew ever stronger, and deep within the Fujinsan volcano, the magma began to boil, the temperature rose, and it even approached the core temperature of the boiling sea. The monitors that the researchers of the lighthouse had placed in the nest all melted in the high temperature and turned into ashes.

In places where no one can see,

One of the scaled claws twitched.

……

……

……

The Arm of Conquest has evolved.

The Arm of Judgment has been activated.

[The right arm that judges all living beings!]

[The judge who will end all evil!]

As always, the Arm of Judgment inherits all the power of the Arm of Conquest and adds a new ability: Judgment.

When your target enters a "near-death" state, you can use the power of judgment once, ignoring all their trump cards (such as resurrection, mirror substitution, near-death defense, last gasp, pre-death self-destruction, etc.), and directly inflict their destined death!

Shi Ming blinked, and the writing disappeared.

The power of the Arm of Judgment! Simple and brutal.

It can be simply summarized as follows:

Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots! Leave no future trouble!
He really liked this effect, eliminating all fancy tricks and unexpected mishaps. Things like "refrigerator," "substitute," "resurrection," and "self-destruction" were all useless in the face of the judgment!

Embracing the silence of death is the only destination!
He clenched his right fist, and the red welts on his once burning right arm slowly returned to normal temperature. His pent-up desire to attack, however, remained intensely burning.

It's been a long time since I personally slew a sea monster, and I'm really itching to do it.

But it doesn't matter,
Soon, there will be a thrilling and exhilarating battle.
Currently, final preparations are needed.

Ensure everything goes smoothly on the final day of the Fallen Sanctuary's fusion! Once he enters the Fujin Mountain Sea Area, the nine-headed dragon pattern on his chest and abdomen may awaken the Great Black Dragon from its slumber. To prevent any accidents, he must possess the ability to quickly kill it.

The method of killing the Great Black Dragon is:
Using the power of extreme cold, it quickly severed the connection between its nine heads and its body.

In theory, it's not difficult!

Even without the Fallen Sanctuary, Shi Ming's current strength, combined with the "Third Law" (which is sufficient to reach absolute zero) and the tenfold boost from the "Arm of Judgment," along with the strong control and harassment of a thousand A-Cocoons, could still achieve this!
Ideally, one should kill the creature while it sleeps, inheriting its abilities without anyone noticing! Then, one can retreat safely and, like a snowball rolling downhill, hunt down the next target!
……

……

……

Because of the doctor's unexpected situation, the remaining four S-class Awakened Ones of the Lighthouse had all gathered ahead of schedule and were now assembled at the Sanctuary Research Institute.

They are:
Codename "Angel", Skill: Release the Demon and Descend!

Codename "Abyss", Skill: Devouring Abyss!

Codename "Artist", Skill: Black and White Aria!
Codename "Sinner", Skill: The Cycle of Sin!

Before each of the four S-rank Awakened Ones was a transparent vessel. Within the vessels, two malevolent substances merged and clashed, achieving perfect balance under the influence of the wondrous artifact, the "Scales of Justice."

The doctor is dead, but his research results have been preserved.

The experiment can absolutely continue.

"This is a miniature version of the power of the Fusion Sanctuary, only a very small sample."

"It will not cause you any harm."

"Now, you can separate a small portion of your own skill origin power and integrate it into this power. This is to test what kind of biological reaction your power origin will have with it. Only awakened individuals with lower rejection and higher integration are qualified to enter the next stage."

The researcher, who had inherited the doctor's mantle, explained.

In vitro experiments pose no danger whatsoever; everything is conducted in a petri dish.

The "angel" had a cold gaze, but was somewhat moved. As the strongest among the four, she was quite confident.

"Abyss" had a burning gaze and slightly licked her lips. "Artist's" eyes were one black and one white; there was no desire for worldly power in them, but rather a yearning for higher art and the recognition of others.

The "sinner" seemed listless and uninterested.

But for now, they are all ready to give it a try.

It's merely a matter of sharing a portion of one's skill essence; there's no danger involved, and it's a mission from superiors that cannot be refused. On this ship, even angels possessing the "Demon Release" skill must obey orders.

Everyone is caught in the web.
The "unity" that Skynet sought was, to some extent, achieved through a forceful approach.

To be on the safe side, the four of them will begin the experiment one by one.

The "sinner" bit his finger, and a drop of concentrated black blood flowed from his fingertip. The researcher lifted the lid of a transparent container, revealing the intertwined energies of the two: destruction and eternity, love and hate, achieving a strange balance.

laugh--

Black blood dripped onto it and evaporated instantly.

There was no further response.

The researcher recorded all of this and then shook his head.

It seems that won't work.

The power of sinful reincarnation is completely incapable of reaching the level of the Holy Temple; it cannot even be integrated, let alone merged with it.

"Next person."

The "artist's" eyes shifted slightly, the ripples in them so intense they seemed to overflow. In an instant, the laboratory was filled with an atmosphere of art and ambiguity, which slowly condensed and condensed into a drop of salty, fragrant water with the alluring aroma of seafood.

Water droplets are poured into the second container.

Call ~
There was no reaction.

At least, there was no intuitive reaction.

With the doctor dead, the other researchers could not fully perceive the subtle changes in the flesh and blood due to their limited control over the microscopic details. They could only use scientific instruments to record everything and all the experimental products, and then slowly study and analyze them.

Next is "The Abyss".

The power of the Deep Sea Leviathan is, in some ways, very similar to that of the Abyss Lord, making it a distant relative of the Abyss Lord, a branch separated by countless generations.

Blue blood dripped into the third vessel.

The vessel hisses and rattles, the balance is broken, but under the influence of the "scales of justice," it is forcibly straightened. The three forces chase each other, maintaining a superficial stability.

"Very good, there is hope."

The researcher nodded.

Finally, there is the "angel".

After a drop of golden blood appeared, the holy aura swept away the decadent music left by the "Black and White Aria" and the evil left by the "Abyss of Devouring," imbuing the entire laboratory with a sacred atmosphere. The others felt as if they had entered God's confessional, and a strange sense of repentance quietly grew in the depths of their hearts.

But this is just appearance.

The demon descended upon the world.

As you can tell from its name, it has absolutely no connection to holiness.

Rub~
Golden liquid dripped onto the fusion of the cells of the Great Black Dragon and the Undying Evil Eye, and with a loud bang, a violent explosion spread throughout the Sanctuary Research Institute.

The scales of justice shattered in response.

……

……

……

At the foot of Mount Pukyong.

The Great Black Dragon's rage had reached its limit. Even in its deep slumber, which had lasted for millennia, it could feel the insects' repeated blasphemy against it.

Large amounts of sulfur bubbles rose from the magma.

An aura of destruction filled the volcano's cavity, finally breaking through the threshold and erupting.

Bang!
Mount Fuji, which had remained undisturbed for countless years, once again erupted with scorching lava. The [Emperor], which remained on the old soil, was the first to be hit. The bottom of the massive admiral-class drifting ship was melted away by the unimaginable heat! Exaggerated alarms blared throughout the entire sea.

A volcanic eruption brought disaster.

But this is just the beginning.

Deep within the lava cavity, the sleeping Great Black Dragon, whose head had been lowered for nearly ten thousand years, slowly raised its head.

One after another.

Immediately afterwards, eighteen scarlet, brutal, and ferocious eyes opened wide!
