Sea King … Upon hearing Jaan Kottman's Sequence name, the first thing that came to Klein's mind was the complete honorific name of the Lord of Storms.
"King of the Air, Emperor of the Seas, Monarch of Calamity, God of Storms!"
Sequence 3 is Sea King … Sequence 0 contains the elements of Sea King, so it's quite corresponding … I wonder what the Sequence 0 of the Storm pathway is called … Klein looked out the window again and saw that although the weather was still gloomy, dawn had already set. The tides had receded, and the rain had completely stopped.
He pulled back his thoughts and analyzed the situation from the information Dhaniz had revealed.
The potion's name is Sea King, which also means that the corresponding Sequence 3 demigod or saint has to act as Sea King. And all acting has a prerequisite — one has to have all the required abilities …
As a Sea King, even if there's a range restriction, he's definitely a powerful ruler in the waters he controls. He can walk freely at the bottom of the sea, stir up tsunamis as he pleases, raise the seawater, and dominate marine life … In their "home ground," they're definitely able to suppress all demigods at the same level … The King of the Five Seas and Queen Mystic are about this level. However, due to the different levels of digestion and the different control over their powers, there's a certain difference in strength?
But regardless, as long as they're at sea, it's very difficult for them to defeat Sea King …
With the abilities displayed by the Sea King, coupled with the ocean environment, it wasn't difficult to understand why people would worship him, believe in him, and pray to him if they hadn't seen the Eternal Blazing Sun, the True Creator, and other true deities …
Many of the deities worshiped in the primitive world might be at this level. There's a high chance that they aren't even angels …
Yes, "not to look directly at deities" refers to true deities. Previously, Sea God Cavituis didn't give me such a feeling. Neither did Amon's avatar. Of course, I can't be sure if a King of Angels' true body also has the attribute of not to look directly at deities …
One was a Sea God who was on the verge of collapse and was at most a Sequence 3. The other was a Sea King who was in good condition and could use a Sealed Artifact at any time. The outcome was obvious. Jaan Kottman would definitely be able to suppress Cavituis's madness and prevent the seawater from drowning Bayam, preventing the entire Blue Mountain Island and the many cities on it from becoming lost underwater ruins …
After a few more days, the last of Kalvetua's madness would pass and it would completely collapse and dissipate, and the matter would be resolved. This was the simplest and most effective way to deal with it. It would not bring about any panic, and most people here would not even notice anything unusual.
However, there were also some problems. First of all, there couldn't be any accidents. It was unknown what the archaeologist, Leticia, had done on Symeem Island and single-handedly orchestrated the destruction of Sea God. The Moses Ascetic Order or Element Dawn backing her might take the opportunity to seek something. This was the greatest latent danger. Yes, the governor-general's office and the military should also have a High-Sequence Beyonder here. This is the kingdom's colonial stronghold in the Central Sonia Sea … Things wouldn't worsen too much …
Secondly, there were the fanatical believers. As Cavituis became crazier and crazier and closer to death, there was a high chance that they would become sacrifices. They would be like stalks during a harvest, falling one after another.
However, this wasn't too bad of a development for the Church of the Storm. The most devout believers would die along with their deity, saving them the trouble of subsequent screening and processing. Those who weren't so devout wouldn't be too affected, and they would have the possibility of reformation in the future … The only drawback was that the Rorsted Archipelago would have a labor shortage for a long period of time. Although such a problem was troublesome, it could be resolved by clenching one's teeth. Therefore, the Church of the Storm and Sea King Jaan Kottman would most likely sit back and watch … Phew, I wonder how many people will die in the slums where the locals gather … Klein's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the uniform sound of footsteps and the roar from high up in the sky.
He instinctively raised his head and saw several airships painted in dark blue with their muzzles exposed and machine guns protruding out, flying past him in different areas.
On the street, Rouen soldiers in red coats, white pants, and black leather boots carried rifles and dragged cannons as they passed by in neat rows.
The tense and somber atmosphere suddenly expanded.
This is a colony … Klein sighed and muttered to himself with inexplicable emotions.
"I wonder how long it will take for the Church to kill that sea serpent and find its previous hiding place. It's definitely a treasure trove with countless valuable items …" Dhaniz, who was a treasure hunter, suddenly said with some anticipation and some regret.
His attitude changed very quickly. He had already degraded "Sea God" to "Sea Serpent" and referred to it as "it."
The Church isn't doing anything. All it does is suppress it and wait a few days to see Cavituis perish … Of course, the people of the Church of the Storm might not have the patience, especially when I heard that Jaan Kottman was originally a high-ranking deacon of the Mandated Punishers. It's just that the archipelago is isolated overseas. In order to unify the authority, he took on the role of a cardinal. His style of doing things might be closer to that of the Mandated Punishers … The place where Cavituis is hiding? That ruin has almost fused with the spirit world. It won't be easy to find it; otherwise, it wouldn't have survived to this day … With this in mind, Klein suddenly had an idea.
It was very difficult to find the ruin where Cavituis was hiding in the real World. Even if he had already perished, it wasn't something that could be discovered in a year or so, unless they obtained more accurate information.
But if I were to start from the spirit world?
It's even more impossible to locate the spirit world, but it's not completely impossible. Snake of Mercury Will Auceptin had used his folded paper crane to perform once … I still don't have any ideas on how to do it, but that's not important. I can ask Mr. Aztec. Death's domain controls a portion of the spirit world's authority … The Underworld, or should I say Hell, was created in the spirit world by Phoenix Ancestor Gregrace, the ancient Death … A thought flashed through Klein's mind as he took out the ancient and exquisite copper whistle, brought it to his mouth, and blew into it.
He believed that even if he returned to his bedroom or entered the bathroom, the messenger's massive body would definitely be discovered by Dhaniz, who had considerable spiritual perception. Therefore, he didn't avoid him.
Dhaniz was imagining Sea God Cavituis's treasures when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck.
He sensed something and hurriedly activated his Spirit Vision to look behind him. He saw white bones spewing out from the floor and flying upwards, forming a gigantic skeleton with an illusory head that pierced through the ceiling.
The skeleton lowered its head slightly. Two pitch-black flames could be vaguely seen even through the ceiling.
The oppressive feeling from its massive body made Dhaniz leap to the side, bend his body, and gather a scarlet flame in his right palm.
What kind of monster is this? Dhaniz looked at German Sparrow in surprise, only to see him holding a copper whistle as he raised his head and looked at the skeleton monster in silence.
Klein looked up at the gigantic messenger, and the gigantic messenger looked down at him. Both of them seemed to be frozen in place.
… Man, I'm in too much of a hurry. I didn't even write the letter before summoning the messenger … Should I get it to wait here, or should I return first and come back later … I'm now Gehrman Sparrow. Right, Gehrman Sparrow! Klein didn't say a word as he indifferently retracted his gaze. He unhurriedly found a pen and paper and began writing the letter.
He roughly described the matter regarding Sea King Cavituis, but he hid the fact that he was nearly possessed and had to use the gray fog to disperse it. He mixed the ruins where Cavituis was hiding into the dream.
"… Perhaps I can think of a solution from the spirit world, but I lack the corresponding knowledge. I hope to receive your guidance."
Klein folded the piece of paper and turned his head, only to discover that the messenger's lowered hand had clenched at some point in time.
He pretended not to notice anything and threw the letter up.
The messenger paused for a second before opening his palm and catching the letter.
Its body suddenly disintegrated, and the white bones fell down, drilling into the floor.
"W-what is this?" Dhaniz finally spoke.
Klein glanced at him and calmly replied,
"Messenger."
Messenger? Dhaniz was taken aback before he understood what he meant.
Such a massive and terrifying monster is actually a messenger? German Sparrow does have a powerful and secret organization behind him! I-if I had such a messenger, everyone on the ship would be envious of me. That would be really, really cool! Dhaniz imagined the scene of him bragging and showing off his messenger when he returned to the ship.
Putting away Aztec's copper whistle, Klein found a chair and sat down, preparing to enjoy his breakfast in a while.
After a while, he heard knocking on the door.
Dhaniz warily went over, and with the peephole, he discovered that the person knocking on the door was a middle-aged man wearing a boat-shaped hat.
"Erland? How did you find this place? "Dhaniz opened the door and asked.
The visitor was none other than the captain of the White Agate, Impartial Erland.
Erland, who had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, looked into the room and chuckled.
"When you checked into this hotel, you registered with the identity of German Sparrow. It's easy to find out."
Because this identity is very legitimate and clean, and in the eyes of the Church of the Storm, I'm part of the military … Klein slowly got up and said to Erland, who had entered the room,
"What's the matter?"
Elland pointed outside.
"There was an accident in Bayam, but it's not a big problem. The military and the Church are conducting a citywide manhunt. They are a few powerful Beyonders, archaeologists in name.
"In order to find the target as soon as possible, the military has used all their resources, but it's still not enough for such a large city. Heh heh, they believe that although your origins are unknown, you are very friendly to us. They hope that you can help with the investigation and prevent any accidents. They will pay you after the matter is over."
This should be your credit for exaggerating my friendliness … In other words, after the Church of the Goddess and the Church of Steam, I can receive money from the military again? Klein was momentarily filled with mixed feelings.
Seeing that he didn't answer immediately, Elland added, "Don't worry.
"Although it won't be a big problem, the earlier we find the target, the earlier we can control the corresponding disaster.
Klein fell silent for a moment and nodded gently.
"And this might save a few more people."
"Okay."
