Genshin Impact, starting from becoming the God of the Ocean

However, this creature's shell is bluish-black with a rock-like outline, making it appear quite hard.

Su Zhe had a feeling that this thing might be even tougher than his skin.

"What's so strange about that? I can talk, and so can you. If I'm strange, then aren't you strange too?"

"That doesn't seem right. It's really strange. How did you learn to talk?"

"I don't know, why don't you ask the Emperor for me?"

"...Go by yourself."

"I'm just a weak, pitiful, and helpless ordinary sea turtle. How could I possibly meet him?"

"Then I won't be able to see it either... Besides, I think your glans is a bit strange."

"Alright, my friend, don't worry about these details," the sea turtle said nonchalantly. "The immortal you carried on your back didn't say anything. A retinue should act like a retinue. In the presence of immortals, what do you call this? Overstepping your bounds, don't you understand?"

"..."

For some reason, Su Zhe really wanted to beat up this sea turtle.

Unfortunately, this guy is very sleazy; ever since that moment, he's kept his glans retracted inside his shell.

"May I ask, sir, what is your immortal title?"

The sea turtle faced Shen He, its tone noticeably more respectful.

"I am not an immortal."

Shen He spoke calmly, but she was clearly moved by the turtle's unusual behavior.

"However, I am a disciple of an immortal, whose immortal title is 'Liuyun Jiefeng' (meaning 'Leaving Clouds and Borrowing Wind').

"Oh, so it's that person, sir."

"You know him?" Su Zhe asked.

"do not know."

"If you don't know me, then what are you 'oh'ing about?"

“Brother, you don’t understand. When talking about immortals, even if you don’t understand, you should act like you think it’s very impressive. This is to show respect to the immortal master.”

"...Then why did you say it?"

"Didn't you ask me? I consider you a brother, so of course I have to answer you. It's a matter of respect."

"Who's your brother? Get out of the way."

Su Zhe didn't want to talk to him anymore.

This guy can drive you crazy, but you can't actually get angry at him.

He had been immersed in battle for so long, bathed in darkness, and gazing into the abyss, about to become the king of a lonely world. But this guy destroyed that loneliness in just a few words. If they continued talking, Su Zhe was worried that his persona would collapse.

"Don't say that. In this vast ocean, meeting is fate... By the way, you weren't sent by Lord Calamity, were you?"

"Disaster?"

Su Zhe had a sudden thought.

"Is it the one that made that noise earlier?"

"No, that's Shaku."

"And what about the calamity?"

"I don't know. He gave orders to some of the more powerful people in the nearby waters, like me. He himself has never shown up."

"I see."

Su Zhe roughly understood that the purpose of the Fools' appearance here was to find the sea monster called 'Calamity'.

Sha Kui was probably a subordinate, but the fact that the guy called Huo Yang could command these sea beasts shows just how powerful he was.

Judging from Sha Kui's roar just now, his strength is close to that of a third-tier cultivator, if not a third-tier one.

As for calamity, it may have four levels; otherwise, why would the Fools go to such great lengths to find it?

Thinking of this, Su Zhe said, "Shen He, go back to Liyue Harbor and tell Ningguang about the news here."

"and you..."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, I won't take any risks."

Shen He hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Su Zhe took her to the nearest deserted island. When he returned, the sea turtle was still there, the Fools' ship was anchored there and dared not move, and the group of mutated sea beasts did not attack. The two sides were in a stalemate.

"Why are you back again?"

The sea turtle poked its head out and glanced at him.

"Brother, I advise you not to stay here and get involved in this mess. We were forced to come here. There's no other way. Lord Huoyang doesn't know you. If you want to run, do it now, or you'll miss your chance."

Su Zhe asked, somewhat puzzled, "Then why don't you run away?"

"I have no choice. This is my hideout, and I don't want to leave. Besides, I'm fine. When it comes to survival skills, we sea turtles are second to none."

"A cowardly turtle?"

"It's a sea turtle, not a soft-shelled turtle!"

Is there any difference?

Su Zhe ignored him and continued to wait in hiding.

However, this guy kept talking non-stop, as if he had finally met someone who could understand him, and his mouth just kept chattering away.

One minute they'd ask Su Zhe what breed he was, the next they'd ask Shen He how old he was, whether he was married, and whether he still took in family members.

Su Zhe shifted his position, deciding to stay away from him.

There are so many sea monsters up there. If he were exposed, the turtle wouldn't be afraid, but he would be in trouble.

After all, the current situation is beyond his ability to handle.

But he hadn't figured out the Fools' plot yet, and he was still worried, so he could only wait for news from Ningguang.

However, not long afterward, the Fools suddenly took action.

They dropped an iron cage off the ship, inside which was a cone-shaped blue device that emitted faint, eerie light.

"what is that?"

The sea turtle poked its head out in confusion.

The device fell into the water, and the light, after being refracted and diffused by the water, instantly covered the entire seabed.

Something's not right.

Su Zhe sensed something unusual.

The seabed is already dark, and this dim light makes it look eerie and cold, like a dark and hellish place.

Not long after, he felt the demonic power within his body suddenly become violent and restless.

Fortunately, he was far away, had a special physique, and possessed the ability to suppress his emotions through meditation, which allowed him to calm down.

But those mutated sea monsters fared much worse.

At this moment, black smoke was sizzling from their bodies, their eyes were bloodshot and ferocious, and they had lost their minds.

Roar! ! !

Shouts of alarm rose from all sides.

Under Su Zhe's watchful eye, a chaotic battle began!

...

Chapter 32 Don't Speak, My Heart Aches

The light emitted by this device can make the power of demons become violent.

Those mutated sea beasts were influenced by the power of the demon god, which is why they have the ability to absorb the power of the demon god. It is something they developed later in life, and even if they can absorb this power, most of them do so with great difficulty.

After all, the resentment contained in the power of the dead demon god is too strong, and the absorber may go mad if not careful.

This is why the demon god's power has such a wide range of influence, yet there are so few mutated sea beasts.

These mutated sea beasts, though quite powerful, are unable to suppress the berserk power of the demon god.

At this moment, they were struck by the backlash of the power, their minds went blank, and their ferocious aura surged. Before long, they began to fight each other.

They are all mutated sea beasts, powerful and incredibly ferocious when they go berserk.

The beast, having lost its mind, abandoned its defenses and was consumed by nothing but slaughter.

Blood stained the sea.

Black energy permeated the sea, its glow intertwining with the spreading eerie light, creating an extremely unsettling atmosphere.

"Haha! The device really works! Doctor, you're amazing!"

"Of course, this is just the ordinary type. When Young Master brings the enhanced version, it might even be able to affect demons."

"Let's see if those sea monsters are still so ferocious now!"

"They're very fierce, but after they're done being fierce, it'll be our turn to step in."

"We must find the culprit; no one can go back until the mission is completed."

"Alright, Sha Kui hasn't come out yet, everyone be careful."

On the ship, the Fools awaited the outcome of the battle between the sea monsters while remaining vigilant against any unexpected events.

Although it's theoretically unlikely, it's still just theory. They were just scouts, and the equipment they brought was fine for dealing with these small fry, but it wouldn't be as effective against really tough guys.

And they know very well that this is just the beginning.

Sure enough, when the sea monsters were fighting each other, the creature hiding deep in the sea finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Whoosh!

The dark figure pierced through the area illuminated by the light and crashed into the iron cage at an extremely high speed.
