"It's indeed slowed down." Mei Xinghui frowned.

"Could it be an engine problem?" Grissom asked, "Let the crew check it out?"

"No, no need."

Carly on the side said this, and with a light wave of her hand, a blue light screen unfolded in the air, and then projected the image she saw on her retina onto the screen.

"There's something under the boat, and...it's going to come up soon."

Gleeson and Mei Xinghui looked at the screen, and then their eyes widened at the same time -

——The picture on the screen is the hull that Carly is monitoring with the [little birds]. At this moment, countless black shell-like objects are covering the bottom of the ship.

No need to say anything, everyone knows what this is.

These are the black fish, their followers under the sea.

......

8) Son of God (Part 3)

"squeak----"

From the moment they were discovered, the black fish threw off their veils of concealment, and their undulating screams echoed over the sea.

They used their sharp bone claws to pierce the iron hull of the "Blue Reef" and climbed up layer by layer, without caring about the burning of the hull's surface by elemental energy.

Seeing this, Grissom held the rudder with both hands, trying to establish a connection with the [underworld], but found that something was disconnected:

"I can't do it. There's no way to drive them away, and there's no way to sneak into the rifts in the ocean currents."

Gleason said anxiously, picked up the phone and started calling:

"The bridge calls on all members of the Blue Reef to enter a level one combat readiness state and keep alert to the ship's side at all times."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Mei beside him and said:

"Mei, do you have any clues?"

"There is no precedent," Mei Xinghui shook her head, "We know too little about the [Netherworld]. If the rudder can't disperse the fish, then we can only break through by force."

"Could it be because of the Black Angel?" Carly said calmly, "That guy seems to be able to control schools of fish."

"Indeed, there is this possibility," Mei Xinghui nodded, "After all, the rudder is just a product of fugue, and the [Black Emblem] is the source of power..."

"If that's the case, it means that guy has already caught up with us," Grissom exhaled, "I have already prepared backup, but the problem is that if the school of fish stops us, we may not be able to catch up in time..."

"It's okay," Carly said, "Let me do it."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door of the bridge, preparing to go on deck.

"Hey! Wait a minute, sister!" Gleason shouted, "Miss Aoi is already on the deck, you——"

"It's okay. I have experience."

In front of the bridge door, Carly turned her head slightly, her ice-blue eyes calm.

"After all, not even the [Black Angel] himself could catch me."

After saying that, Carly opened the bridge door and left the bridge.

Behind him, Grissom and Mei Xinghui stared blankly at the place where Carly grew up, feeling very incredible.

"Why is she so brave?" Grissom turned to look at Mei as if he had seen a ghost, "I thought...she was the kind of logistics type..."

"Maybe it's for Miss Perlis," Mei said, "I also..."

As she spoke, Mei Xinghui held the red stone hanging around her neck, feeling the slight warmth emanating from the crystal.

The red stone given to her by Perlis has saved her countless times. It can be said that the only reason she can stand here now is because Perlis has been here.

"White Flame..."

Mei Xinghui closed her eyes and prayed softly to the sky. Her tone was very light, as if she was afraid to disturb the sleeping stars.

When she opened her eyes, a determined light flashed in her violet eyes:

"Come on, it's time for us to take action."

Mei Xinghui walked straight to the control console, picked up the transmitter, and said softly:

"Ice Ocean, the threat of the [Black Angel] has been discovered, the coordinates..."

......

"squeak------"

The pitch-black bony fish surged up the side of the ship like a wave, roaring and pouncing on the sailors on the deck.

Even though the Blue Reef was equipped with the [God-Strike Cannon], there was no way to deal with the threat that was climbing up directly from the hull - the threat from the sea below itself.

For a moment, the sound of gunfire on the deck sounded like drumbeats, playing the symphony of the ocean together with the chords of the waves in the quiet night.

"call--"

Right in front of the deck, Aoi's golden eyes were shining brightly. She continued to gather high temperature at the tips of her fists, punching the pitch-black bone fish again and again.

"Boom——" "Boom——" "Boom——"

Every punch she threw created a scorching gust of wind that smashed the bone fish into pieces, turning them into glowing red fragments that fell into the sea.

At the same time, Aoi controlled gusts of scorching wind to sweep around the hull of the "Blue Reef", trying to sweep as many bony fish as possible into the sea, stirring up waves.

The dark sea gradually changed from calm to turbulent. Tens of thousands of black fish attacked the "Blue Reef" from the deep sea, turning the tiny waves into huge waves and intensifying the shaking of the ship.

The sailors soon began to be unable to resist, and as one fixed machine gun after another was swallowed up by the waves of bone fish, they were forced to retreat to the lower deck.

Aoi was surrounded by a group of bone fish at the bow, wave after wave. Sweat oozed from her forehead, and it seemed that she might be swallowed by the dark waves at any time.

At this moment, the light of stars lit up one by one around the Blue Reef——

“Ding—ding—ding—ding—ding—ding—”

The blue light illuminated the dark deck, and everyone was attracted by the suddenly bright sea of ​​stars. Even the black fish stopped for a moment.

When the sea of ​​stars was fully lit up, a figure was faintly visible on the building at the top of the bridge.

It was a hooded girl, looking down at the deck covered with black fish with her icy blue eyes. She waved her hand with five rings on it gently:

“【The Frozen Light】.”

Instantly, the sea of ​​stars exploded, covering the entire "Blue Reef" in a blue light like a supernova explosion.

"boom------"

Under the strong light, the black fish began to twitch as if they were scorched by the scorching sun. They crawled on the ground, and their exposed bony spines kept shrinking like crying children.

Taking this opportunity, Aoi closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and then hit the deck at the bow fiercely.

"boom--"

The scorching waves surged out, with Aoi as the atomic bomb, melting and exploding the surrounding black fish layer by layer, and even the gun barrel on the bow of the ship was emitting red heat.

After this round of explosion ended, the sea of ​​stars gradually went out, and the black fish that had reacted became increasingly ferocious under the shining starlight, and began to move like a group of hunting wolves.

This time, some of them directly locked onto Carly at the top floor of the bridge, and transformed into four or five forked streams that crawled on the hull of the "Blue Reef". Within a few seconds, they surrounded Carly from four or five directions.

"..."

The hooded girl looked silently at the black fish that surrounded her and opened her arms.

The next second, her body was torn into countless pieces by the sharp claws that attacked from all directions, but it turned into fragments of blue light in an instant.

——This is an illusion created by the [Man in the Mirror].

As Carly's illusion was torn apart, the thing she had been holding in her hand also fell among the black fish.

That was a factor energy bomb——

"boom--"

The azure annihilation explosion exploded atop the Blue Reef's bridge, shattering the confluence of Blackfish into fragments.

At the same time, Carly's true body walked out of the cabin and shouted to the remaining sailors on Cambridge:

"Get into the hull! You can't stop them!"

8) Son of God (Part 4)

The sailors of the "Blue Reef" looked at Carly blankly, then got into the hull very rationally and orderly, ready to wait for the opportunity.

Carly walked onto the deck against the crowd and looked silently at the first wave of black fish that were wiped out.

These black fish... should be acting on their hunting instinct. At least when they were in Hillster, those black fish would just look for their hunting targets nearby and then kill them indiscriminately.

But just now... these guys actually locked onto the phantom I created on the top of the bridge and used encirclement tactics?

Excluding the possibility that their intelligence suddenly evolved, this simple phenomenon means that... they have a brain on their backs...

The only person who can control them is known to be...

【Black Angel】Suleiman Agust.

"He's coming..."

Carly looked at the horizon behind her, where she seemed to see a dark shadow moving at high speed under the ocean current.

At the same time, another round of screams came - the second wave of black fish were boarding the side of the boat.

"Aoi!" Carly shouted towards the bow, "How long can you hold on?"

A scorching wind blew by, and Aoi jumped to Carly's side, her golden eyes meeting hers:

"I'll hold on as long as I need." Aoi's body was surrounded by high temperature. "It's just... I feel very hungry..."

Is it time to feel hungry now? Carly's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly, and then she pulled out a fully loaded steam revolver from her waist.

"I will do my best to weaken them. You should always pay attention to the surrounding seas. The [Black Angel] is coming."

"As expected... that haunting fellow," Aoi frowned and said, standing back to back with Carly, "Don't worry, if he dares to come, I will definitely avenge Pure White..."

The two of them stood on the deck, back to back, staring at the side of the ship. Soon, another round of dark waves surged up the side of the ship, roaring towards them.

......

"Om..."

In the dark space, Suleiman Agust moved gracefully, his silver eyes fixed on the direction that had already been locked.

As long as we can destroy the girl's anchor, we can make her completely collapse when she ascends, and let the authority contained in her body be revealed...

Laplace had seen the white flame, but he didn't know how to extract it, and even let her escape... Useless old man...

What he doesn't know yet is... I know how to extract...

As long as it collapses during the promotion ceremony, the [Pure White Flame] in that girl's body will quickly push her to the [Star Seed] stage, turning her into an unconscious monster.

Then...I killed her...torn her apart...devoured her...

“…Hehe…”

An elegant smile appeared on Suleiman's lips, like a gentleman facing such an upper-class banquet, restrained yet revealing a hint of desire.

Kill Carly Fellowes... Kill White Flame's Anchor... Let her collapse...

Kill her...Kill her...Kill her...Kill her...

"Ding--"

In the darkness, Suleiman once again flipped a coin to decide Carly's fate.

Contrary to expectations, the coin landed on the back of the hand with the obverse side, engraved with a pair of angel wings, symbolizing kindness.

"...Oh, lucky Miss Fellowes...How do you manage to escape fate's hand every time?"

Suleiman smiled with relief, feeling helpless about the trick of fate.

Then he picked up the coin with his hand and turned it to the reverse side.

"That's all right, Miss Unlucky Philos."

Suleiman gently pushed his silver-framed glasses, and he leaped up from the dark [underworld], breaking through the waves.
