“Mr. Zhou Si, on behalf of the Iberian people, I thank you for everything you have done.”

Carmen y Iberia, the only surviving saint of Iberia, removed her hat from her head, placed it to her chest, and bowed to Zhou Si, her cloudy gray eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.

The highly respected old man had already learned the whole story from the doctor. Zhou Si's actions undoubtedly pulled Iberia out of the precipice and brought them hope.

"I just did what I could."

"You possess noble qualities, and as long as Iberia exists, the Inquisition will be your most trustworthy friend."

Carmen's words left Zhou Si momentarily speechless, but fortunately, the Doctor stepped in to help him out.

"Let Zhou Si go back to Rhodes Island to rest first. There's still a tough battle ahead. Let's leave these things for after we defeat Hai Si."

The doctor winked at Zhou Si.

"The doctor is right, Lady Carmen. Let's talk about it after everything has settled down."

Carmen looked at Zhou Si, who looked exhausted, and bowed to him again before heading towards the Punishment Fleet. Zhou Si then got into the car with the Doctor and the others.

The vehicle drove slowly toward Rhodes Island, passing many Punishment soldiers who were building fortifications along the way. When they saw the transport vehicle, they all stopped what they were doing and saluted in its direction.

Zhou Si looked at the soldiers through the car window and suddenly laughed.

"what happened?"

The doctor sitting next to him was a little curious.

"nothing..."

'I just feel that my efforts were right.'

Zhou Si thought to himself.

......

Finally back on Rhodes Island, Zhou Si enjoyed star treatment this time, with operators casting their gazes at him wherever he went.

But to be honest, this scene of being the center of attention made Zhou Si quite uncomfortable, making him feel like an alien.

Hmm, he does seem to be an alien, doesn't he?

However, there are certainly people on Rhodes Island who don't care about these things.

"Wow, bro, you're awesome!"

For example, the handsome white-haired guy next to Zhou Si who has no sense of boundaries.

"What's the matter with you?"

"The doctors don't have your contact information, so they asked me to come and tell you."

"Your big friend is resting on the deck right now. The logistics department is already preparing food for it. That thing is huge. Oh, and this terminal contains the Doctor's and the others' contact information. The Doctor asked me to give it to you."

Jijing handed Zhou Si a small terminal and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't put too much pressure on your brother. Although our brothers on Rhodes Island may be a little weaker than you, we are all skilled in our own way, if not possessing extraordinary abilities."

So don't worry about it.

After the handsome white-haired man finished speaking, he turned around and left Zhou Si with a dashing back view, leaving Zhou Si stunned.

Although the extreme realm's expression was somewhat abstract, at least they did receive Zhou Si's heartfelt wishes.

Just then, the terminal lit up; it was a message from the doctor.

Who stole my water bottle?: [Sorry, there's not much time for you to rest. Kal'tsit and I are discussing the details. Could you please come to the meeting room in two hours?]

Let me cook first: [That's enough.]

At least there were still two hours of rest time, and Zhou Si was already quite satisfied.

Just as he was about to enter the room Rhodes Island had prepared for him, a figure suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Skadi?"

Chapter 44 'Skadi': I Want You (4k)

The silver-haired, red-eyed deep-sea hunter stood on the other side of the corridor, quietly watching Zhou Si. He neither greeted her nor left; he simply watched silently.

Such unusual behavior clearly aroused Zhou Si's suspicion.

"No, you are not Skadi."

The sea cells in Zhou Si's body gradually became more active, and the authority belonging to the migrating sea god gradually began to affect his body.

Silvery-white scales began to grow immediately under Zhou Si's clothes. He did not take out his weapon, after all, this was inside Rhodes Island, and there were many unarmed logistics personnel and Oripathy patients on this ground.

If a real fight breaks out, it will not only damage Rhodes Island's internal structure, but may also cause friendly fire.

Therefore, he must be prepared to resolve the immediate objective quickly and accurately should a conflict arise.

"Hunter, I'm here to negotiate."

Skadi's ethereal voice echoed in the quiet corridor. She was still wearing that long red dress and walked slowly forward with light steps. She stopped less than 2 meters in front of Zhou Si, opened her arms, and looked at Zhou Si with an unguarded expression.

Zhou Si frowned, somewhat confused about what He wanted to do. If He wanted to, He could pierce Skadi's heart in an instant.

"What exactly do you want, Isamara?"

Zhou Si revealed His identity: the body now occupied by the long-dormant sea god of migration—Isamara, the Corrupted Heart.

Even though He currently presents a harmless demeanor, Zhou Si will not relax his guard. Rhodes Island is now only a few kilometers from the ocean, and Isamara's authority can fully influence those sea creatures.

Moreover, the lifeblood of the Origin and the group from the Deep Sea Church are still eyeing him covetously outside, and Zhou Si does not want to fight Isamara on Rhodes Island right now.

Since that's the case, let's first hear what this migrating sea god has to say.

Thinking this, Zhou Si loosened her clenched fist and stopped looking at Isamara with the same wary expression she had just had.

"Zhou Si, I'm here to discuss terms."

This time, Isamara chose to call him by his name instead of his code name, and the sea god's expression softened.

“My fellow citizens are on the wrong path. The madness of survival will lead to a massive swarm endlessly plundering all visible energy, which is wrong.”

Isamara's gaze deepened, as if she could see through the walls to her kin in the deep sea, and the long-mad sea god of survival.

"Oh? So what do you want to do?"

"The larger group should consider the long term. The crazy pursuit of survival will eventually lead the group into the abyss, and I will not allow that to happen."

“But now the horde is completely under the control of Existence, so I hope to cooperate with you to put that madman into a deep sleep.”

For years, Isamara had been lurking inside Skadi's body. She had seen and heard everything Skadi thought and felt. She knew that the human species was driven by desire and self-interest, so she immediately offered a very attractive condition.

"After I return to the main group, I will return the land to you, and I will lead my fellow countrymen back to the ocean."

Isamara's tone was very sincere; at least Zhou Si couldn't detect anything wrong in her words.

But as the sea god who controls 'exploration' and 'struggle', would she obediently stay in the sea? Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Zhou Si certainly couldn't believe Isamara's words.

Unlike other sea creatures, Isamara's experiences on land have made her far more complex than her own kind.

How can I believe your words?

"Because you are different from them."

Isamara pressed herself against him, placing a hand on Zhou Si's chest. Her stunningly beautiful face was so close that Zhou Si could smell her faint fragrance.

"If you wish, you can become our blood relative at any time. The large group welcomes... no, we eagerly await your joining us."

Isamara before me had completely changed; her face was flushed, and her red eyes were filled with expectation and longing.

During this time, a part of Isamara's consciousness followed the silver behemoth, and through Huihui's eyes, she saw just how 'perfect' the man in front of her truly was.

Isamara saw the future of Hai Si in Zhou Si, so she wanted to explore the secrets of the man in front of her more than conquering the land.

"..."

Zhou Si stared at Isamara's face, which was so close to his own, his mind racing as he analyzed what she had just said.

Joining the main group was obviously out of the question at first, and he didn't trust what Isamara said, but there was one thing that Isamara did share with them: their goals.

That is, they all want to kill the originator's lifeline.

After careful consideration, Zhou Si spoke:

“I can cooperate with you to solve the problem of Origin’s lifeline, but you need to show some sincerity first, otherwise I still can’t believe you.”

"I will meet your needs."

Zhou Si did not answer the question about joining the Great Group, and Isamara was not in a hurry either. After all, there was plenty of time. After regaining control of the Great Group, He would have plenty of time to corrupt Zhou Si's heart.

Then Zhou Si made her first request.

"First, you need to leave Huihui's body."

"no problem."

Isamara nodded. To be honest, keeping her consciousness inside the dragon's body was a huge burden for her, and there was no need to do so now.

"Secondly, you cannot disclose the details of our transaction to any third party."

"Of course, this is a secret between us."

Isamara nodded again. She did not want anyone else to interfere in their transaction, as this could introduce unnecessary variables.

"Finally, after killing the lifeblood of the Origin, I need His body."

"of course can."

Isamara did not hesitate at all. She knew what Zhou Si wanted the preserved corpse for, but she still granted all of Zhou Si's requests.

Because regardless of whether Zhou Si or Him ultimately becomes the leader of the Sea Clan, as long as Zhou Si joins the Great Clan, Isamara's goal will be achieved.

The migrating sea god looked at Zhou Si, who was so close, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What are you doing?!"

At the corner of the corridor behind Zhou Si, the little bird looked at Zhou Si in front of the door and Skadi lying in his 'arms' and let out a high-pitched scream.

Elena held the gifts she had prepared for Zhou Si in one hand, and pointed a trembling finger at the two of them with the other, her cheeks flushed red, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.

Zhou Si looked back at the little bird, then at Isamara who was still clinging to her, and cursed inwardly.

Although Zhou Si didn't know why she felt guilty, it was best to explain herself now.

"Actually, Skadi almost fell down just now, and I helped her up."

Zhou Si concocted a reason that even he himself didn't quite believe, and then tugged at Isamara's sleeve, asking her to cooperate in explaining.

Why are you pulling my clothes?

Skadi looked at Zhou Si in front of her with some confusion. Wasn't she just resting in the medical department? How did she suddenly get here?

Zhou Si stared at Skadi behind him in disbelief. He tried to find evidence from Skadi's expression that she was still Isamara, but after meeting her somewhat confused eyes for a few seconds, Zhou Si gave up.

"Here, take this. You should get some rest. See you later."

The little bird blushed as she handed the gifts to Zhou Si, then turned and ran away. She had only been startled by the scene and hadn't thought about anything else.

However, the Deep Sea Hunters were indeed no good. As an Inquisitor, she would have to keep a close eye on those guys in the future.

Zhou Si stared blankly at the bird's departing figure, wondering why he had been so nervous just now.

"I'm going back now. Dr. Kal'tsit told me to stay in the isolation ward of the medical department for the next few days."

Skadi had no idea what Isamara had done with her body, but she felt a strange sense of closeness to Zhou Si. However, she didn't pay much attention to it, since Zhou Si's personality was to her liking.

Well, as long as I don't take her riding a dragon.

Clearly, that flight on the Huihui Flyer left Skadi with considerable psychological trauma.

Finally, no one bothered her anymore, and a wave of mental exhaustion washed over her. Zhou Si used her temporary identity card to open the door to her room.

This is a separate single dormitory room, covering an area of ​​about 60 square meters, but it is small but complete, with all the necessary facilities.

Zhou Si lay down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

————————————————————

When Zhou Si opened her eyes again, exactly one hour had passed, and there were still about twenty minutes left before the time she was supposed to meet with the doctor.

The sound of gunfire outside the window showed no signs of stopping. Due to the geographical advantage, even though Hai Si had re-evolved the corresponding organs, it would still take some time to break through the Punishment Army's defenses.
