On the leeward side of Symeem Island, under the towering stone walls, the deep seawater was affected by the surrounding waves and undulated with a considerable degree of undulation.
On Crazy Captain Connors Viktor's Single-eyed Skull, a few pirates put on their cloaks and pulled up their hats. Drenched in the painful rainwater, they walked out of the cabin against the wind that could push a child. They checked around to avoid any accidents.
Their cloaks were made of linen, but the surface was smeared with a sticky liquid that had already solidified. The rainwater was unable to seep through and could only flow downwards onto the deck.
The liquid was the sap of the Donningsman Tree. It was produced in the Southern Continent's rainforest and was a natural material to shelter from the rain. As it was relatively common, its price was originally very low. However, last year, a research team suspected that it had an obvious effect of promoting hair growth.
"Such weather is perfect for the Red Theater, drinking hard liquor, smoking marijuana, and hugging women!" a pirate looked out of the ship's railing and grumbled.
His companion echoed as he tugged at his cloak's hat.
"I heard that the Red Theater recently received a new batch of goods. I really want to have a taste."
"How did you know?" another pirate asked casually.
The pirate from before chuckled.
"I heard it from the boss. It's not like you don't know what kind of 'business' the captain does? That's why the boss knows quite a number of human traffickers. Ha, they like to call themselves slave traders. "
"Speaking of which, I recalled that time." The pirate who spoke first revealed a reminiscing expression. "Among the 'goods' that were delivered, there was actually a noble lady who ran away from home. That skin, that figure, that look. Tsk, it's … it's … I don't know how to describe it, but I can't forget it to this day. Unfortunately, she committed suicide!"
As they spoke, they felt their vision brighten. They subconsciously looked up into the sky and saw an abnormal silver bolt of lightning amidst the dark clouds that hid the crimson moon and stars amidst the torrential rain.
Suddenly, a gigantic bolt of lightning that illuminated the surrounding waters cleaved down, heading straight for the upper deck of the Single-eyed Skull!
Boom!
Electric snakes began to scurry about, and when the wooden cabin burst into flames, the deafening thunder reverberated in the ears of the pirates.
Right on the heels of that, bolts of silver lightning that brandished their claws and fangs struck down densely. The Single-eyed Skull, which was rather large in size, instantly entered the forest of lightning.
At this moment, the thick bolts of lightning that were almost intertwined suddenly split apart in violation of the laws of nature. They missed the Single-eyed Skull and struck the pitch-black surface of the water around it, causing the nearby sea to light up. Tiny electric bolts sizzled everywhere.
The pirates on the deck were affected. One was already charred black like a piece of burnt wood. Two fell to the ground, twitching all over.
"There's indeed a problem!"
Above the gray fog, Klein couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw the scene of his Lightning Storm being neutralized.
He was certain that this was the power of a demigod!
If he had rashly infiltrated the Single-eyed Skull, even with Creeping Hunger, Death Knell, and Rosell's Travels, he wouldn't have been able to put up any effective resistance against this strange power. And when that happened, he wouldn't have the time to pray to himself or respond with the Sea God Scepter above the gray fog!
Taking a deep breath, Klein made the blue gems on the white bone scepter's tip light up one after the other!
Around the Single-eyed Skull, the sound of the storm suddenly split into two. One was sharp, as though it could tear through one's eardrums and penetrate one's brain. The other was deep, as though it was pounding at one's heart, questioning one's Spirit Body.
This brought about an extremely unpleasant experience for the pirates. One or two of them had the urge to vomit blood, but this was only the prelude. The sound of crashing water intensified, and in the direction of the stone wall, a deep black wave surged up, nearly ten meters high!
This wave was like a wall created by a deity. It was pushed by an invisible hand as it surged towards the Single-eyed Skull!
This was a tsunami created by Klein!
This could already be considered a natural disaster!
The splashing sounds sounded like an explosion as the pirates inside the ship looked at the dark sky, the churning dark clouds, and the gigantic wave. It was as though they had arrived at the apocalypse in myths and legends. All of them lost the will to save themselves.
However, as they waited in despair for the final judgment, a chaos that didn't conform to logic or scientific laws appeared in the gigantic wave created by the tsunami. An indescribable vortex rapidly formed as it tore at the entire structure, causing the terrifying wave to collapse at a rapid speed!
Amidst the rumbling sounds that sounded like a collapsing mountain, the subsequent waves tossed the Single-eyed Skull high into the air. As for the splashes produced by the disintegration of the gigantic waves, they splashed onto the ship, breaking one of the masts, leaving the cabin in tatters, and completely drowning the deck.
Whoosh!
A strong wind suddenly turned intense as it spontaneously engulfed the surrounding companions, turning into a hurricane that exceeded its limits. It forcefully pushed the Single-eyed Skull out into the open sea.
Then, the ship rode the strong winds and flew several nautical miles in one go. Furthermore, it didn't land on the undulating surface of the water. It was as though it was an airship as it continued moving forward steadily.
As Klein was surprised by the demigod or Sealed Artifact of the corresponding level in the Single-eyed Skull, he was surprised that his Sequence wasn't high enough. Even though he had used some of the powers of the mysterious space above the gray fog, he was unable to create a tsunami like Cavituis's that could destroy a port. On the other hand, he controlled the hurricane to make the Single-eyed Skull lose its support and plummet, preventing it from escaping the five-nautical-mile range he could influence.
His current goal wasn't to destroy the Single-eyed Skull, nor was it to capture Crazy Captain Connors Viktor. Instead, he wanted to force the demigod or Sealed Artifact of the corresponding level to appear.
Experts and items of such a level could be counted on the entire World. By seeing them, he would sooner or later know who they were and which organization they belonged to!
And this was the direction of the follow-up investigation of the Great Smog of Baekeland!
I only hope that it isn't from the Seer pathway; otherwise, who knows if it's his real face … However, this is also a good thing. I can investigate the truth behind the Great Smog and figure out what Ince Zangwill is up to. I can make preparations for my future revenge, and I can also find the Bizarro Sorcerer potion formula and main ingredient … As Klein sighed silently, he made a gem at the tip of the Sea God Scepter emit a pure green glow.
With a hum, the Single-eyed Skull's flight changed. It plummeted like a rock, unable to even glide!
Suddenly, it became very, very light. Its landing on the surface of the sea was like a feather brushing past a human's face.
At this moment, Klein, who had expended a great deal of his spirituality, was about to muster his remaining strength to create another tsunami when he suddenly heard a loud explosion from the scene.
It was a terrifying sonic boom!
Furthermore, it was different from ordinary sonic booms. It seemed to be mixed with the whimpering sounds of the wind domain.
It came from Sea King Jaan Kottman! Although he was still a long distance away from this place, he, who controlled these waters, could exert his influence across space while rushing over!
This was a Sequence 3, a saint that was close to the level of an angel!
The terrifying sonic boom sent the Single-eyed Skull flying. There was no need to ask if it was a victim. After all, there was nothing wrong with hitting a pirate!
And at the same time, Klein felt a terrifyingly powerful psyche "scan" his surroundings, searching for any spot that could possibly be abnormal. It was so much so that the scene in front of him was affected and turned blurry.
Resisting the urge to strike again, Klein calmly and rationally ended the response and closed the corresponding prayer scene. Then, he casually threw the Sea God Scepter into the junk pile.
If Sea King didn't appear, I wouldn't have complete confidence in forcing that demigod out. It's still because my Sequence is relatively low, so it's a little difficult to use the scepter. The burden is very heavy … However, at sea, the Storm pathway is really powerful. It's like a moving calamity …
The powers that the demigod displayed just now had the elements of distortion, chaos, borrowing, and defying convention. It's very similar to the Black Emperor pathway. Others might not feel it, but I have the corresponding Card of Blasphemy! This definitely isn't a Sequence 5 Mentor of Confusion … An Earl of The Fallen? Yes, the military has a portion of the Black Emperor pathway's potion formula, but it seems to be limited to the first five Sequences. There's nothing above Sequence 4 …
Although Klein failed to force out the demigod or the corresponding Sealed Artifact, he had grasped certain clues from the other party's performance. He suspected that a particular faction of the royal family, apart from cooperating with the Demoness Sect and Ince Zangwill, had also secretly contacted a faction that controlled most of the Sequences of the Black Emperor pathway.
A descendant of Solomon or Sostel? Is King of the Five Seas Nast involved in this matter? Just as Klein was in serious thought, he suddenly heard the echoing sounds of prayers.
This interrupted his train of thought, making him instinctively spread his spirituality and touch the halo beside his seat.
Then, he saw Dhaniz.
This famous pirate had his eyes closed and was piously praying to The Fool.
"…" Klein took out his pocket watch in a daze and checked it a few times to confirm that it was two or three in the morning.
Is there something wrong with his head? Why are you praying in the middle of the night? Can't you let me sleep? Klein looked carefully again in exasperation and amusement. He realized that Dhaniz looked drunk, and there was faint singing echoing outside.
The crew of the Golden Dream is holding another bonfire party? This time, it's to celebrate the departure of German Sparrow? It actually lasted until midnight! Klein instantly understood why Dhaniz was only praying now.
He took a deep breath and extended his consciousness into the circle of light. He said in a low voice,
He said in a deep voice, "Recite my name in your heart."
…
Sea King Jaan Kottman flew to Symeem Island and searched for the place where the abnormal tsunami had appeared, as well as the ship belonging to an unknown pirate crew.
He was very certain that there was a demigod on the ship!
This tall, burly, dark-blue-haired Cardinal of the Church of the Storm, a high-ranking deacon of the Mandated Punishers, clenched his fist, and the dark clouds in the sky split apart as crimson moonlight scattered across the surface of the sea.
After identifying the location of the stars, Jaan Kottman flew in a certain direction.
Suddenly, he slowed down because the pirate ship with the symbol of the Single-eyed Skull was floating in the sea in front of him.
The ship was unmanned as it drifted in the wind. There were many scarlet flames burning on it, and charred corpses were everywhere.
In the middle of one of the masts was a middle-aged man wearing a triangular hat and a black eyepatch. His single eye was wide open and filled with horror. His chest had been stabbed deeply by a wooden club, and blood had dyed it red.
His life and Spirit Body had completely dissipated.
