Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

"It's like a cornered beast about to break free from the reins woven by fear and launch a desperate counterattack."

Skadi's eardrums throbbed, the scales on the back of her neck gradually spread across her body, and the long-unheard whispers echoed in her ears once more.

Isamara sensed this large-scale geological change, but unfortunately, the Sea King blood bound within her body by the Deepsea Hunters could not contact the swarm.

“My hunter, recall how you single-handedly terrified Isamara’s poisonous blood in Londinium. Your will alone was enough to make Him feel fear.”

Lotin noticed that the growth of scales stopped after spreading to a certain extent, indicating that his intimidation of Isamara remained.

“Transforming a continental shelf is not enough to render those beasts helpless; they will adapt sooner or later.”

As the chief designer of the Deepsea Hunters project, Grandia was well aware of the learning and adaptability of large groups, which is why she designed the Deepsea Hunters, a war group that only uses cold weapons.

"Lord Nautilus will resolve this issue before Haisi further adapts, my other unfamiliar blood relative."

Laurentina had long placed absolute trust in Lothing, and she told this blood relative, who seemed quite familiar with her, not to always express doubt about the lord she served.

With the support of the Imperial Orders and the Shipbreakers, the soldiers of the Punishing Army can even withstand the piercing attacks of the Terrorfish without wearing protective gear, which allows the front line to advance very quickly.

The [Sunfire Aegis] that Lothing originally purchased to deal with the massive number of enemies, after being materialized, was enhanced by the increased skill casting range brought by [Heart Steel], and easily tore a huge gap in the middle of the Terrorfish nest in the series.

Having spent the first half of her life fighting on the battlefield, W had never seen such a grand scene before. Although she stubbornly insisted that it was no big deal, she didn't hesitate to abandon the opportunity to put into practice the Originium explosives knowledge that Nian had taught her. Instead, she obediently held onto the [Imperial Order] as the Demon King's standard-bearer.

Because Lotin told her that, just like in the Great Wilderness, this flag would protect her.

"Look, Theresa, how ridiculous and fragile your imagined utopia, which belongs only to the Sarkaz, is in the face of these ruthless devourers."

“I understand that you are working hard to address such a threat. The Sarkaz souls and my power are at your disposal at any time.”

Even in the face of this danger that affects all of Terra, Theresa was still able to distinguish between what was important and what was not.

She reminded Lotin that the Sarkaz, the former Demon King bound in the demon sword, could also become a force to fight against these monsters.

"If I remember correctly, Anana is still in your hands, isn't she?"

The doctor's analysis and research on Anana have already allowed her to utilize a portion of its power. Her authority is extremely high; even releasing fetal movement again wouldn't be a problem.

Furthermore, the doctor can even drive it to release energy outputs that are higher than the amount of fetal movement.

Anana is considered a major asset in Loting's hands. Although Haisi has the potential to adapt to, and even eliminate and purify Originium, that takes time. In a desperate situation, using it as a means of clearing the field is an effective countermeasure.

In addition to having his summoned creatures fight as a commando team, Ling, at Lotin's suggestion, also used his powers to further interfere with the sea creatures entrenched on land sending information back to the main group.

Drunkenness and dreaming are quite similar states, and the power to control the reality or illusion of dreams can indeed disrupt the transmission of Hai Si's pheromones.

Unfortunately, the power of the order is also limited. In order to expand its scope, the intensity of its effect on each individual is sacrificed. Therefore, the order cannot erase these things as easily as waving away the signs of the year.

After all, reducing the number of these ** is the lowest priority.

As for Shu, Luo Ting did not actively ask her to join the fight against Hai Si, but she couldn't stay idle. In addition to running back to the Twelve Towers and Five Cities through the Mountain and Sea Scroll to discipline her two unruly sisters, she had already begun to study the land polluted by Hai Si.

"The ecosystems of these lands have been completely distorted, serving only one purpose: to drain every last drop of nutrients from a region for those monsters."

"Even the structure of microorganisms has been contaminated. They have lost their ability to survive independently in the natural environment and have become part of a non-natural system cycle."

As the agricultural instructor of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Shu naturally accepted the content of modern agricultural science in Yan Kingdom. Unlike the pollution by evil spirits, the results of this monster's pollution can be understood by modern science in Terra, although its process and principles are still a bottomless black box.

If Shu used her purification abilities, she could certainly effectively purify the marine biological pollution in the area of ​​the Great Wilderness City, but there were simply too many occupied areas, and she couldn't solve the problem on her own with so much pollution.

"Then Miss Shu should have a good talk with the Agorian governor."

At this moment, Lotin introduced Godia to Shu, explaining that Iberia's existing purification technology originated from fragments of Agorian technology.

Millet will likely gain a great deal of technical knowledge from Agor's technology that can advance her agricultural research.

At the same time, Agor's current understanding of behemoths is also a significant weakness.

With the help of some technological means, millet's power may be able to purify a wider area of ​​land at a lower cost.

Unfortunately, their communication did not go smoothly at first. Shu saw in this governor of Agor an arrogance and indifference akin to that of an ancient behemoth.

However, Goredia also discovered that the other party was not "human," neither the human in the pre-civilization concept nor the human in Doctor Agor's cultural identity, but a manifestation of a giant beast.

This, in turn, ignited Goredia's curiosity to communicate.

Currently, thanks to the concerted efforts of all parties, the Punishing Army has made rapid progress, and the large number of remaining forces on land have been swept away with overwhelming force.

Unable to purify every inch of their land, the Iberians could only resort to burning to prevent marine pollution.

Lotin's ability to stir up magma made the sterilization process equally rapid, and soon, the Punishment Army, protected by Lotin, advanced to the original coastline.

It also includes a long-abandoned ruin called Saltwind.

On that day, Quintus seemed to see something enormous casting a shadow that enveloped the entire remaining city.

This deeply sinful and corrupt man was destined to be eradicated by the Iberians, but his insane experiments turned his executioners into even more terrifying beings.

This bronze colossus intends to make the fallen ones who indirectly tormented his nuns by participating in the design of the experimental program pay the price they deserve.

Chapter 224: Dried Kelp

"I'm curious how you know the scum of the church is hiding here."

"In order to lure them out, I tried many methods, including pretending to help several bishops."

Grandia had no idea why Lotin knew there was an important figure from the Deep Sea Order here, but the intelligence she possessed did indeed point to the Church's trail here.

Saltwind City's road signs were as severely corroded as any wooden sign Lotin had ever seen in the occupied Iberian region, and the city itself was in the same state as those signs, completely made of rotten wood.

"The best result is one that satisfies everyone."

"At least we came to the same conclusion."

This time, unlike more than two years ago when he wandered through the desolate occupied territories, Lotin was accompanied by a legion of the Punishing Army. They efficiently searched the entire Saltwind City to determine which residents could be saved and which had unfortunately fallen into miserable depravity.

A beam of light stung Quintus's eyes. The sea-transformation had allowed his eyes to adapt to the darkness in the water, but it would take him longer to adapt to the bright light.

The top of the church was completely lifted off, and two beams of dazzling red light replaced the original dim candlelight in the church, illuminating everything.

Quintus half-closed his eyes, trying to find out what kind of being had lifted the dome of the church.

He couldn't see clearly; the colossal object covering the church was too tall, and even Hai Si's enhanced eyes couldn't penetrate the misty clouds to catch a glimpse of the true face of this guardian deity of the mountains and rivers.

However, his hearing, after being assimilated by Hai Si, could hear more special frequencies, so he could hear the deep, resonant voice that lingered in the air like a chime.

"Quintus, think about all the insane experiments you've conducted."

"I am just a priest, guiding and helping the poor people who have been abandoned here."

"Let sickness and hunger not kill us, let us, your brothers and sisters who are willing to unite in suffering, receive the sustenance necessary for survival. Who are you to think that a priest would conduct experiments?"

Quintus's mucous membranes trembled. The fear of Nautilus, a natural instinct for organisms to avoid harmful environments, was ingrained in the genes of every individual in the group, and the assimilated Quintus belonged to this group as well.

He wove a clumsy lie that compelled him to uncontrollably search his increasingly fragmented memories for fragments of the horrific experiments of the past.

"A despicable bell-ringer who attempted to betray our brothers and sisters in exchange for a bounty from the court—"

Quintus bit his tongue, forcing himself to stop uncontrollably revealing his past sins.

Lotin moved his fingers, and the church floor immediately cracked open, revealing a damp cavern filled with strange and horrifying equipment.

Upon seeing these things, Laurentina painfully held onto her head, began tearing at her clothes, and scratched her skin.

But Laurentina quickly calmed down; this frenzied state didn't last long. She reminded herself that she could make these filthy, depraved people pay for their crimes at any time.

"Our testing grounds have been destroyed in so many ways. We invested such a large amount of refined liquefied source stone and used Agor's technology... and it can never be replicated."

Quintus gripped his own neck, desperately trying to stop himself from continuing.

“She is indeed very valuable. I just can’t understand how she was able to fight against such a large-scale Originium infection... Her spinal cord, even diluted, would be enough to infect a small country.”

"I will prove my achievements. My research. The secrets of our enemy. And their weaknesses..."

Quintus bit off his own tongue, and his strong will caused his vocal system to begin to mutate. He tried to degenerate his ability to speak so as to keep the truth hidden forever.

"Damn it—damn it—"

Quintus's body was trembling uncontrollably when a slippery Agorian language interrupted his forced act of self-destructing the truck.

“Ishar-mla. You are one of us. You are one of our people. Why put yourself in danger?”

Agor is spoken not by the vocal cords, but by the mucous membranes.

In the minds of the majority, Lotin belongs to a dangerous natural environment, not a living creature. Therefore, in the eyes of this beast, Skadi is simply dancing in the crater.

Hai Si's language seemed to possess a magical power. Skadi's chaotic thoughts drifted back to the past, to when she and the other hunters were slaying the Terrorfish. The heavier the stench of blood, the more excited they became, the more violent their movements, and the more their bodies responded.

Blood of the same kind.

Skadi was immersed in the black, still sea. Hai Si's vast mental perception signal enveloped her.

Her escape and her defense were both futile.

Her past and future are meaningless.

She is a sea monster. A sea monster. A terror fish. A sea creature.

But does it matter?

Skadi's experience in Lentinium gave her a different understanding of the smell of blood, and she was able to separate this impulse from Isamara's seduction.

She drank the potion of rage that Lotin had prepared for her beforehand, letting the pure destructive impulse of wanting to tear apart and hunt fill her heart.

Yes, her power is so great that even Nautilus, whom she serves, praises it highly. So why can't she smash everything she doesn't like or hate, leaving nothing behind?

"Hunter, use this sword."

The Blood-Drinking Sword is already bound to Loting. If he were to entrust it to someone else for temporary use, the curse it brings would not be permanent. However, those who borrow the Blood-Drinking Sword would not be able to display the ability to command the dead like Loting.

His hunter gripped the bloodthirsty demon sword, and Skadi's excitement resonated with the Bloodthirsty Sword, her attire instantly transforming into the appearance Lodin wore when she switched to the Conqueror form.

"Fellow countrymen, can't you hear our voices?"

"Compatriots—"

This humanoid creature, shimmering with an indigo glow, was undoubtedly a beautiful being, and it was the first time that Haisi had spoken human language in the face of civilization.

How ironic that Hyde evolved language, while Quintus, out of fear, lost his ability to speak.

Blood red, an endless expanse of blood red pierced through the silent black ocean.

She had made a promise in Casimir: she was the sword that proclaimed the power of Nautilus, to be wielded for only one person, and to be loyal to only one person.

Whether Agor is of the same race as Haisi is of the same race, none of that matters anymore. The only thing that matters is that she will become a sharp sword, solely to allow Nautilus to unleash his hunting impulses.

She is not an Agor, not a Sealing, not a Deepsea Hunter; she is simply herself, Skadi.

The sea creature sensed intense emotions and dense bioelectric signals.

Anger, pure anger and hatred.

Unfortunately, Hai Si still couldn't understand what anger was.

The Blood-Drinking Sword unleashed a hurricane in Skadi's hands, instantly smashing the beautiful sea creature into chunks of flesh. Its organic matter was decomposed into the most basic chemical substances, which became the life force devoured by the demonic sword.

A feeling of indescribable comfort spread through Skadi's chest.

She understood Nautilus's aesthetic of conduct. How simple, direct, and effective. She recalled Nautilus sewing up the incessantly chattering mouth of the immortal black serpent.

So now she also intends to shut up those Hai Si who are spouting decadent nonsense.

Lotin sheathed his Blood-Drinking Sword, but Skadi's attire remained unchanged.

He could tell from Skadi's status bar that the Bloodthirster debuff had disappeared, and Skadi seemed to have figured something out and let go of something.

“Messenger…no, messenger…”

Quintus managed to utter a few words, and his revered messenger of the sea was slain by the half-breed creature he despised.

Even the last bit of nourishment was devoured by that ominous demonic sword, leaving them unable to even look back at the horde.

"Bastards...you two bastards—"

Humiliation and anger overcame fear for a moment, which revealed Quintus's true colors.

The bishop's body swelled rapidly.

His body stretched out, and the cave walls suddenly shattered as he waved his long beard.

He is trying to pursue his own rationality through practical actions, which is also the purpose of all his experiments—to pursue the ultimate, perfect individual.

Chapter 225: Wholeness and Fragment

The bishop's head opened from the center of his eyes.
