Starting from Ainz Ooal Gown, simultaneously traveling through time

In the worldview of dragons, dragon blood is considered to have a strong corrosive and polluting effect.

It can forcibly distort ordinary creatures and transform them into twisted beings that are half-dragon and half-monster.

—That is, the so-called "Deadpool".

After undergoing multiple fusions and purifications across worlds, Leylin's bloodline has become as powerful as that of a true dragon king.

Now, a single drop of his blood is enough to pollute a small area of ​​the sea, dragging all its creatures into an abyss of madness.

At this moment, the fish, shrimp, crabs, and even jellyfish in this sea area have all transformed into monsters with dark golden eyes, upright scales, and sharp claws and teeth.

They were no longer driven by instinct, but instead took Leylin's will as their sole commandment, becoming his most loyal and most ferocious sea guard.

"Go and clear out that 'Sea King's Kingdom' that's closest to the island first." Leylin gave the order with a slight thought.

"Take care of all the 'Sea Kings' we encounter, and then... turn them into part of us."

As soon as the order was given, the entire "Deadpool-ified" sea seemed to boil instantly.

Countless twisted sea monsters changed direction, forming a dark and violent torrent that surged towards the underwater coral city.

Lei Lin calmly concealed himself, preparing to observe the battle from a distance.

He obtained most of the information about the Sea King's Kingdom from the geoduck leader he had previously controlled; the opponent's strength was indeed not top-tier.

If he were to take action personally, he could wipe that coral city off the seabed in an instant.

But now he's more interested in seeing just how much combat power these "cannon fodder" he created at random can actually unleash.

This is one of the benefits of upgrading your power level: making it so easy to create a batch of usable combat units.

These sea monsters, enhanced by the corruption of dragon blood, generally possess combat power exceeding level 10, making them ideal for testing and training.

"Perhaps this is the fun of 'cricket fighting'?"

A playful smile flickered across Leylin's face.

Consciousness, like an invisible network, connects and commands that frenzied ocean army, propelling it toward its predetermined goal.

..............................

Meanwhile, deep beneath the sea.

In the center of an underwater city built of countless colorful corals stands the tallest red coral tower.

On the throne atop the tower sat the strongest and most powerful ruler of this kingdom—the Sea Emperor.

Its body was withered and thin, which seemed quite incongruous with the majestic name of "Emperor".

But the red coral scepter in his hand, which seemed to flow with magical radiance as if it were alive, and the red coral crown on his head, both demonstrated his supreme authority.

It has an almost obsessive love for red coral, and most of its jewelry is made from it.

"High Priest, the once-a-decade 'Sea Dragon God Festival' is approaching. Where will this year's ceremony be held?" The Sea Emperor's voice was deep and slow, echoing within the tower.

Standing to the side, the high priest, clad in a magnificent seaweed-covered robe, respectfully replied, "Your Majesty, after deliberation, this ceremony will be held on an island in the sea near our territory."

"There lives a group of human slaves there, who can be used to build a temple and then used as offerings on the day of its completion, killing two birds with one stone."

"At sea? That's a bit troublesome... But it's also good. It's been a long time since I've surfaced. Taking this opportunity to appreciate the scenery of the land is not bad." The Sea Emperor nodded slightly.

Just then, a Neptune's guard rushed into the tower in a panic: "Your Majesty! High Priest! Outside the city... there's a large-scale enemy attack outside the city!"

"An enemy attack?" The Sea Emperor remained calm. "Is it the stone crab people from the north, or the fish-man tribe from the west?"

"None of those! They're sea monsters! An enormous horde of sea monsters is charging towards the city!"

"Why would mindless sea monsters swarm to attack a city?"

A red light flashed in the Sea Emperor's eyes, and he instantly made a judgment: "They must be acting under someone's orders. High Priest, go and investigate first, and stabilize the situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go immediately." The high priest bowed and accepted the order, then quickly withdrew.

The Sea Emperor slowly rose to his feet, stroking his scepter: "Commanding sea beasts... which force dares to provoke the Sea King Clan?"

..............................

Outside the city, the battle has already begun.

The Sea King warriors who were the first to engage in battle couldn't help but gasp at the sight before them (if they could do that in the water).

That was no ordinary "marine tide"!

The surging fish opened their huge mouths full of sharp teeth, while the shrimp and crabs were covered with ferocious, metallic-looking shells.

Their eyes gleamed with an unsettling dark golden light, and their entire being exuded an aura of madness and foreboding.

"What...what are these monsters?!"

"Whatever they are! We can't let them breach the walls! For His Majesty the Sea Emperor, kill!"

The Sea King warriors roared in battle, wielding enchanted harpoons, and advanced in formation.

They attempted to crush this "rabble" with well-trained teamwork.

However, just as they charged into the vanguard of the herd, ready to unleash their power—

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dozens of mutated sea beasts at the forefront suddenly flashed with golden light in their eyes.

Its body expanded instantly, as if inflated, and then transformed into a huge, blazing fireball that exploded violently in the deep sea!

This illogical scene resulted in horrific casualties.

The high temperature and pressure generated by the explosion instantly vaporized the surrounding seawater, creating a violent shock wave and scalding water flow.

Caught off guard, the Sea King vanguard was immediately swallowed up, and before they could even scream, they were either dead or maimed.

The formation of the troops behind them was also thrown into disarray by the scorching sea current.

"Ouch! It's hot! It's so hot!"

"The seawater...the seawater is boiling!"

"Retreat! Create distance! These monsters will self-destruct!"

The Sea King warriors were terrified and hastily retreated, attempting to reorganize their ranged attack.

They hurled their magically infused harpoons, the sharp blades drawing white lines in the water, indeed killing many of the charging sea creatures.

But this seemed to enrage the herd.

The ferocity in the eyes of the sea beasts intensified, their speed suddenly increased, and they forcibly broke into the Sea King's lines regardless of casualties.

"Oh no! They've broken in!"

"Watch out, it's self-destructing! Scatter! Scatter quickly!"

The Aquaman warriors scattered in panic, but the expected violent explosion did not occur again.

Instead, the sea monsters that had stormed into the formation began to convulse and swell violently.

Then, with a muffled "poof," it exploded into thick, dark red blood mist that wasn't hot but emitted a strange, fishy smell, and quickly spread throughout the seawater.

Many of the Sea King warriors were unable to dodge in time and were enveloped in the blood mist, instinctively swallowing or inhaling the seawater mixed with the blood mist.

"Cough cough! Wha...what is that?!"

"Are you alright?!" a companion called out anxiously from afar.

The Sea King warrior, who had inhaled the blood mist, was initially bewildered. He touched his body and said, "It seems... I don't feel anything? It doesn't hurt or itch."

The commander in the distance breathed a slight sigh of relief: "Looks like those terrifying self-destructions have limitations! They're out of options! Maintain formation and continue the attack! Use ranged attacks to wear them down!"

The Sea King warriors rallied their morale and launched another concentrated barrage of projectile attacks.

However, they didn't notice that their companions who had inhaled or come into contact with the blood mist were gradually becoming listless, and their movements seemed to be a beat slower than usual...

It was as if something was quietly eroding their will through their blood.
