In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

Even "Prism," specializing in the medical field, couldn't achieve this. Do you think "Snake Ring" and Jiang Chengcheng alone could? Don't be ridiculous. If that were the case, she should pack up and go home to raise pigs...

That's why Shen Qin is like this now. She has lost too many memories, especially most of them just now... She's practically a blank sheet of paper.

It looks fine, but if Xu Shi were to manipulate it like this, it would instantly turn into this...

The main problem is that this whole thing is really weird! Xie Qingyan isn't unaware of the stories about the women around Xu Shi. Several of them were twisted by him, at least Xia Wuyou was one of them. As Xia Ke'an's attending physician, she remembers it very clearly.

But no matter who it is, they absolutely cannot reach the level of "unforgivable hatred" that Shen Qin has. I don't know what that bad man was thinking, he actually won't let her go...

And you actually succeeded! If you had directly turned her into a war machine, that would have been one thing, but he used the slow, insidious method of boiling a frog in water... Some people can even sincerely portray themselves as victims... Tsk tsk tsk, what a wicked man's twisted sense of humor, playing with people's hearts.

Xu Shi ignored her rambling and looked at Shen Qin sincerely, his tone gentler than ever before, "Have you thought it through, my sister?"

Miss Shen Qin opened her mouth, the confusion in her eyes subsided considerably, and she nodded very seriously.

"it is good."

"Then let's get started."

Having achieved his goal, Xu Shi said no more, gesturing with his hand, "Let's rest a bit more with the power of the Sea God, and then leave this hellish place."

Destroying the Heart of the Sea God is quite risky. It's not as simple as just fooling Shen Qin into being the main attacker. He and Xie Qingyan also need to be back to their best condition. Fortunately, the cycle of the Heart of the Sea God is the best medicine, so achieving this is not too difficult.

However, the Heart of the Sea God can bring them far more than just this small benefit. Such a concentrated burst of "rust fog" will definitely be of great benefit to "ascended beings" like them, once they can withstand it.

Including the Sea God's own fusion ability, there's someone who's been eyeing it for a long time... Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan exchanged a knowing glance, clearly both well aware of these things.

But they all kept quiet about it, for what's the point of saying what they already knew? Besides, all of this was based on survival; in short, it was about seeking fortune in danger.

Leaving this place is the most urgent task. Inside the Sea God, everyone is not sensitive to the passage of time, but they know that they can't afford to waste a single second. Every second wasted here will make the situation outside even more chaotic.

……

The situation outside is indeed extremely chaotic.

Xu Shi's ship has its own emergency repair system, and although it was punctured, it quickly stabilized.

The three little ones on the boat were the most unstable. Pan Ling was getting panicked, pacing back and forth anxiously while muttering, "Master will be alright, Master will be alright... right?"

Witnessing Xu Shi being swallowed into the belly of the sea god, even she, who was usually very calm, could not remain calm now.

Although they hadn't spent a very long time together, before she knew it, that wicked master had already occupied a large place in her heart.

Being able to hold back her tears was already her limit.

Pan Feng was slightly better off, since she didn't have as much contact with her master as her sister... But she didn't know how to comfort him or offer any solutions. The word "helpless" was perfectly embodied at that moment.

"...You two, stop wandering around!"

Finally, Xia Ke'an shouted, calming the situation down, "Make way, everyone!"

Feng and Ling were stunned. Before they could react, they saw their usually cheerful and carefree senior sister suddenly become incredibly deep in her eyes, slowly levitating in the air, radiating an unparalleled aura.

"This……"

Pan Feng and Pan Ling were both dumbfounded. They had considered that the white-haired loli was also a "chosen one," but they never expected that she would be such a powerful "chosen one"!

What kind of move is this? It feels even better than Xia Wuyou's, right?

The old lady didn't give them much time to be surprised. She quickly made a prediction about the future and landed smoothly on the ground.

"Don't worry, Dad will be fine."

"Really?"

Pan Ling hadn't quite grasped what was going on, so she blinked and asked a question.

"Forget it if you don't believe it."

Xia Ke'an didn't want to talk to her much, or rather, she couldn't be 100% sure, but judging from the results, Xu Shi's chances of surviving were probably around 80%, which was a pretty good number considering the countless possible futures.

Because she believed in Xu Shi, in her view, since the protagonist of the prophecy was Xu Shi, then this number was equivalent to him being safe.

Instead, she needed to be more careful about her foolish niece! Thinking of this, she quickly used the ship's communication system to call out to Xia Wuyou, "Calm down! You'll be fine!"

But Xia Wuyou wouldn't listen, because she was currently going berserk.

Compared to before, her current offensive is more than a hundred times fiercer, and it is visibly that a large area of ​​space around her appears somewhat distorted.

"Bastard! Die!"

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her tentacles collapsed one after another in a frenzy. Due to the overload on her body, blood had already seeped from the corners of her mouth.

Everyone knows that the chances of survival after being swallowed by the sea god are extremely slim. She has no other thoughts at the moment, only that she can defeat the sea god as soon as possible so that she can rescue Xu Shi.

Even though her efforts seemed somewhat futile.

Just as Xu Shi had analyzed before, severing a thousand or ten thousand tentacles was useless. The ocean was the sea god's domain, and its recovery speed was unimaginable. Such an attack was really ineffective.

What's worse is that she's still fighting alone—Shen Qin followed Xu Shi into the Sea God's body, and Yu Xingchuan's attacks were also minimal. Just then, Cheng Gujian, who was originally with her, suddenly stopped and withdrew from the battle.

"What are you doing?!"

Xia Wuyou was both surprised and angry. She turned around and glared at the other person, questioning him.

“This won’t work, Mrs. Xia.”

Cheng Gujian gently shook his head and responded calmly.

"I...!"

Xia Wuyou, unusually, swore.

Although she knew the other person was right, doing this would not only fail to save people, but would also drag others down with them. The consequences were self-evident.

At times like these, we should remain calm and refrain from rash actions until we have considered more feasible offensive strategies.

But then again, by doing this, he was undoubtedly abandoning Xu Shi!

If you wait even a second longer to defeat the Sea God, Xu Shi's chances of survival will be one point lower. If you try, at least you'll have a chance to save him; if you don't try, he'll definitely die!

Unfortunately, she couldn't command Cheng Gujian, and the other party didn't have any compelling reason to attack. This was exactly the same as Xu Shi's previous analysis. It seemed that there was cooperation between the two parties, but it hadn't reached the point where they would risk their lives for each other.

Especially now that the Papacy is already observing from the sidelines—there's absolutely no need to worry about them stealing the credit—Cheng Gujian might start considering other things.

Or perhaps he just wanted Xu Shi to die here. Helping you is a favor, not helping is his right. Who can you blame for Xu Shi's death?

Once Xu Shi dies, there will be almost no one left who can rival him. Even if the campaign against the Sea God fails, Cheng Gujian can use other means to squeeze Xu Shi's side and maximize his own interests.

Xia Wuyou wasn't unaware of this; in fact, she knew that if the roles were reversed, Xu Shi would most likely do the same—it was only human nature.

But there are no "what ifs" in this world; right now, my beloved has met with misfortune!

So she was not only angry that Cheng Gujian refused to help her, but also angry that she still did not have enough power to salvage the situation.

Haven't we already upgraded our equipment and increased our strength? Why isn't it enough? Why isn't it enough!

Disappointment, frustration, anger... perhaps because she never thought that Xu Shi would actually encounter misfortune, all these emotions piled up, and she felt that she was on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, Xia Ke'an stopped her, saying, "Xu Shi is most likely safe. Calm down, conserve your strength, and don't let yourself get hurt too!"

She could see clearly that Xia Xiaomao was completely flustered. This fighting style was full of flaws. Fortunately, Poseidon was not very smart, otherwise, he would have been a complete liability in this state.

The reprimand in her earpiece brought her to her senses a little more, and she suddenly remembered how abnormal her aunt's abilities were, secretly relieved.

"……I see."

She replied in a hoarse voice, and you could tell how much pressure she was under just from her tone.

However, she did not stop there. She just changed her approach to attack, no longer acting recklessly, and gradually regaining her initial methodical approach.

Although she felt reassured, it didn't mean Xu Shi was 100% safe. At least she couldn't give up; maybe her efforts could provide some help?

That's when.

The sea god, which had been on the defensive, suddenly convulsed violently, and its thousands of tentacles suddenly bloomed like flower petals, crashing down onto the sea surface!

Xia Wuyou quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the attack. She was even somewhat relieved, because if she had been in the same state as before, she might have been seriously injured.

But she soon realized that this did not seem to be the sea god switching from defense to offense, but rather it seemed to be a stress response caused by something touching a sore spot.

Everyone stared wide-eyed as they watched the sea god's expression grow increasingly painful, as if something was thrashing about inside him, a persistent and intractable problem.

next second.

Its once indestructible body suddenly developed cracks, and countless strange lights burst forth.

boom--

XTM, I stayed up all night until 8 a.m. and only managed to get 5k. My recent performance has been absolutely terrible... Let me adjust my schedule first. Sorry.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 239 Do you really hate me that much?

Hey?

Forced to retreat by the Sea God, Xia Wuyou's face showed not surprise but delight.

Because the first thought that popped into her mind was, could it be that Xu Shi did something to cause it to be in so much pain?

That's what she thought anyway. In her eyes, her man was truly infallible. Even if they encountered a sudden crisis, he could turn it into an opportunity... Xie Qingyan wasn't a pushover either, and with Shen Qin involved, he might actually pull something off, right?

Not to mention that Xia Ke'an vouched for him, it was hard for her not to think that way.

And indeed, that was the case; the sea god's painful spasms were because it had split open.

A physical crack.

No one knew that the behemoth that was invincible just moments before, capable of killing thousands with a flick of its tentacles, could suddenly become so vulnerable.

But the facts before us cannot be faked. With a deafening roar, the towering water curtain exploded, carrying with it a dazzling light.

As mentioned before, the battle against the sea god was very peaceful. Except for the whale fall, it was almost completely silent. If you wanted background music, you had to imagine it yourself. But this sudden loud noise finally filled the gap. Many people covered their ears as if they were waking up from a dream. Those who were unlucky were even directly shocked by the impact and bled from all seven orifices.

Including the seawater that filled the sky, even a little bit of this stuff would be unbearable. So what's interesting is that the damage caused by this explosion may not be much smaller than the previous attack by the sea god, and may even have a wider impact.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

Cheng Gujian dared not delay, and even unusually said "retreat" three times, urging his fleet to retreat as much as possible.

But it was still too late. The rain was pouring down, and many people were still suffering when it subsided.

But their casualties weren't just from being washed away by the sea; upon closer inspection, many were injured by... falling debris?
