Poseidon in Arknights

“Don’t be nervous, Eleanor, we should all rest.” Dario waved to Eleanor and then turned his gaze back to the sea.

“Although the attacks by those Sea Legions suddenly stopped yesterday for some reason,” Dario said, looking at the coastline before him, “we don’t know why they stopped, or whether they will attack again.”

"Everyone is under a lot of stress, including me. It's not a bad thing that you want to rest. A proper balance between work and rest can help you relax your tense nerves."

Elena picked up the lantern from the ground: "That teacher, what did that member of the Deep Sea Church we captured say?"

“Hmph, still the same utterly stupid nonsense.” Dario shook his head. “Even regarding the retreat of those Sealings yesterday, he only said that the ocean had been found.”

Dario looked at the ocean before him: "They have to search for things that are right in front of them. A bunch of idiots whose brains are filled with the flesh and blood of the sea creatures."

As they were talking, the surrounding environment suddenly lit up, as if illuminated by something.

Elena subconsciously looked up to see if the sun had come out, but the sky was still filled with dark clouds.

Elena suddenly realized something and looked down ahead, towards the direction of the coastline.

At that moment, in Elena's eyes, the ocean was emitting a faint glow.

Seeing the strange sight of the sea, Elena instinctively called out to her teacher beside her, "Teacher, the sea!"

"What's wrong?" Dario asked calmly, looking at Eleanor.

“…No, it’s nothing, teacher. I want to go take a look, is that alright?” After a moment of silence, Elin shook her head, her gray-blue eyes fixed on the ocean before her.

Normally, Dario would never agree to his student's request under such circumstances, since no one knows how many other potential heirs are hiding around him.

But now, Dario simply nodded calmly, picked up his lantern, and left, seemingly oblivious to the glowing ocean.

Elena put down her lantern, since it was already so bright that she didn't need it anymore. Elena nimbly crossed the trenches, walked past the soldiers still on guard, and past the sensitive landmines, until she reached the coastline and then stood on the sea.

--------

Yu Yue floated on the sea, listening to the cheers around her, then scratched her ear: "Alright, alright, be quiet, it's a bit noisy."

In an instant, the surroundings fell silent. Xi Yue breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she disliked the cheers, but they were just too noisy. Just that moment felt like countless loudspeakers were exploding in her ears.

Putting everything else aside, the argument was genuine.

"Phew, so next." Yuuki looked down, if she wasn't mistaken.

Xi Yue lifted her foot and stepped down as if she were walking up stairs, but what was there for her to step on in the invisible water?

But it seemed as if the foot that stepped under the setting moon had actually stepped on something, and the sound of 'stepping' spread through the water. As the foot fell, the surrounding darkness gradually lit up with a blue fluorescence.

With each step, the surrounding darkness was gradually covered by light, except for the ground beneath our feet, which remained completely black.

Standing on that dark plane, Xiyue lifted her foot and exerted force. In an instant, Xiyue felt as if the world had turned upside down, and she seemed to have broken through a certain plane and stood on another side.

Looking around, Xi Yue found herself standing on the surface of the sea. It seemed that what she had just broken through to was actually the sea level.

"Hmm..." Xi Yue raised her hands, "It feels a bit strange, like my own body, but something's not quite right?"

"Ocean." A voice called from behind him.

"Hmm?" Yuzuki turned her head completely. "Elini?!"

When Yuuki saw that the person who had arrived was Eline, she was quite surprised. "You, a judge, standing on the sea and calling me the ocean, with such a religious tone? Isn't something a little off?"

Elena looked at Yuuki, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes: "Yes, the ocean."

Looking at Elena's condition, Xi Yue remained silent for a while before opening the system and using the life detection device again.

Xi Yue caught the iron ball falling from the air. It seems the system was still working well, as it didn't directly transfer the thing to her main body.

'Judging from Eline's condition just now, it's definitely influenced by mystical factors.' Xi Yue briefly weighed the life detection device in her hand. She had to admit that this thing was indeed as quick and convenient as the system said. The detection device was a one-time use device, and Xi Yue couldn't find any fault with it yet. She hoped that a permanent version would be available later.

Elena looked at her god's actions with some curiosity, but out of genuine respect, she didn't say anything.

Xi Yue flipped her hand and aimed the life detection device at Elin.

[Test Subject]: Elena

【Gender】: Female

[Race]: Sea Clan

[Height]: 156cm

[Status of Ore Disease Infection] Based on the medical test report, the individual is confirmed to be non-infected.

Comprehensive physical examination test

[Physical Strength]: Excellent

Battlefield Mobility: Excellent

[Physiological tolerance]: ▇▇

[Originium Arts Adaptability] Standard

Diagnostic analysis: Imaging results show that the operator's internal organs have clear outlines and no abnormal shadows are seen. No abnormalities were found in the detection of Originium particles in the circulatory system, and there are no signs of Oripathy infection. At this stage, the operator can be considered to be a non-Originium-infected individual.

[Somatic cell fusion rate with Originium]: 0%

Operator Irene shows no signs of being infected by Originium.

【Originium Crystal Density】0.000u/.L

An extremely abnormal state, where the content of Originium in the tested person's body is zero, with no corresponding explanation.

Note: This state does not affect the subject's use of their own Originium Arts. The nature of the Originium Arts currently held by the subject has been severely altered, and the template currently used by the device is insufficient to explain this situation.

[Status] Ocean Blessing: (Unexplainable)

"A complete sea clan?" Yuuki carefully read the report, and finally focused her attention on the explanation of their race.

As of now, Yuuki only knows three: Red is Lupo (a member of the Sea Familia), Skadi is Agor (a member of the Sea Familia), and the other two are currently separate members of the Sea Familia.

Yuuki didn't think the difference was in the way the templates were labeled, so the only possible explanation for the difference in races on the report was that they were the sea-kin of those differences.

'What factors are affecting the difference...' Yuzuki put the report away.

Although Yuuki really wanted to study this difference and find out why it occurred, there were simply too few control groups available at the moment, making it impossible to know where to begin. She had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.

"Ahem, Alene." Yuuki suppressed her curiosity, "What's been happening in Iberia lately?"

Elena tilted her head, unsure of what her god was referring to. So she simply organized her thoughts and recounted everything she knew about recent events.

After listening to Elena's account, Yu Yue nodded and looked at the distant battlefield: "This really is a big deal. Tsk, headache."

"that……"

"What's wrong, Alini?" Yu Yue looked at Alini, who seemed hesitant to speak.

"Why doesn't Hai Si kill people anymore?" Elinie asked, looking at Yuuzuki, voicing her own question, or rather, the question that had been posed by the entire Iberian Punishment Army these past few days.

"This..." As Yuuki listened to the question, she recalled what Isamara had said when they first met.

"All sea creatures yearn for your embrace; you nurture and sustain countless lives; we have learned your teachings."

'The Sea Heirs were able to come ashore probably to find me, just like Isamara, it's all because of me.' Yuzuki sighed, looking at the distant defensive line. Although the Sea Heirs didn't kill those Punisher Army soldiers, they still did a lot to get away from the defensive line.

Finally, Yuuki looked at Elinie and pointed to herself: "The reason is probably very simple, I'm a doctor."

Chapter 52: The Cute Little Bird

"Doctor?" Elena looked at Xiyue with a puzzled expression.

“Yes…” Xi Yue looked at Elinie, casually touched her head, and at the same time, a mischievous thought quietly rose up, so…

"Cute little bird~" Yuzuki smiled and patted Lini's head.

Well, no one can refuse to say those words to Elena, as for her reaction...

Yuuki could only say that some things that were etched into one's soul in the previous life would not change even if one went to a new world and became a new race.

"But, cute and stuff..." Sure enough, just as Yuuki had expected, Eline, who was praised as cute by Yuuki, immediately became a little awkward.

"For example, if the sea... um?"

Yuuki pointed a finger at Eline's lips: "You don't need to call me Ocean, just call me Yuuki, Eline."

“Okay, okay, Xi…Xiyue.” Eline blushed. “If you like calling me that…”

'Why is this child so shy? This isn't the reaction I wanted to see, but it's not bad either~' Yuzuki patted Eline's head, then turned her gaze to the Punishment Army's position not far away.

As for the other side, Xiyue was having a bit of a headache. The matter started because of her, so naturally it should be resolved by her. However, no matter which identity she came in, the solution would be very difficult.

Limb regeneration isn't a big problem. As long as Yuuki is willing, her water can gradually nourish life and promote regeneration. Limb regeneration is no problem at all. Even if Yuuki can't do it, the system has many similar items.

But the problem is, given that Iberia is a healer, why would they send Yuuki to treat the Punishers? Even with the Emperor's connections, it's highly unlikely they could do it; this isn't the kind of free clinic Yuuki usually organizes.

So, going there now as the Sea God? Hmm, Yuuki doesn't really want to go back after being blown to bits. The feud between Iberia and the Sea King isn't something that can be easily resolved or eased.

Especially now, after they just finished fighting with Hai Si, Yu Yue turned around and said, "This is my fault. I apologize to everyone." Then she treated everyone who was injured in this war.

If the punitive forces didn't bombard Yuuki's face with a barrage of repeated, heavy artillery fire, it would be a disservice to Iberia's hardships over the past ten days.

So, as things stand, Yuuki really doesn't have a good way to compensate the other party in a reasonable manner. Putting aside material compensation, at least the medical care for those who were injured in this incident needs to be taken care of, but Yuuki really doesn't have a good way to provide treatment.

"What's wrong, Umi... Yuzuki?" Elinie looked up at Yuzuki, who was deep in thought.

"Hmm..." After looking down at Aline in thought for a while, Yu Yue suddenly asked, "Aline, are you interested in becoming a doctor?"

"A doctor? But I don't know any medical techniques or medical magic..."

Xi Yue patted Elini's head and casually opened the system: "Medical technology isn't a problem, I can teach you myself, as for magic..."

'System, can I transfer the skills I purchased to someone else?'

Xi Yue mentally called out to the system, and soon the system responded. The shopping mall in front of her was like a flip, showing data that hadn't been there before.

'Hmm, it works as expected.' Yuuki nodded and began to examine the extra items on the panels.

There weren't many extra items, and Yuuki quickly finished checking them.

'Are the only ones you can give to Red, Skadi, and Irene? Is it because of their status as members of the Sea Familia, or are they considered direct subordinates by the system?'

'No, it shouldn't be because of the Sea Kin. My gaining the power of the Pure Water Spirit was entirely accidental in a sense, and this ability must have been inherent to me. So, according to the system's judgment, they are my direct subordinates?'

Then, Yuuki clicked on the "Give to Person" option at the top, and after selecting Eline, another value appeared next to all her skills.

'Suitability, this thing...' Yuzuki scratched her head, 'Looks like I need to choose one with a higher suitability score.'

'Additional conditions: suitability rate above 90%, and medical capability for limb regeneration.'

With a flash, the screen returned to normal, and then Yuuki saw the skill ranked number one by the system.
