When Lin Li and the others walked out of the private room, they happened to meet Bradlor and Monterey who had also walked out of the private room. Seeing Harilya and Clive beside Lin Li, Bradlor's eyes revealed a slight look of surprise, but it only lasted for a split second. For Bradlor, the most important thing now was to figure out what exactly caused the anomaly, and everything else was secondary.
At the same time, the sea outside Helena Port had already turned into a scene of a natural disaster. The dark clouds in the sky were piled up like ink, and there was a storm raging on the surface of the sea, setting off huge waves that were hundreds of meters high. The roar of the waves resounded continuously in the entire sea, as if there were rolling thunder roaring at the bottom of the sea.
There were two fleets of the Gilded Kingdom on the periphery of this sea, one of which was the Seventh Fleet that replaced the Fifth Fleet in charge of the safety of this sea, while the other was the First Fleet that was known as the trump card of the Gilded Kingdom. When the two fleets were placed together, the superiority could be seen immediately. First of all, the most intuitive thing was the size of the First Fleet, which was comparable to three Seventh Fleets. Secondly, the size of the 25 main alchemical battleships of the First Fleet was almost comparable to that of The Star of the Tower of Dusk, and the other auxiliary battleships were also well-equipped.
However, at this moment, be it the large main battleships or the slightly smaller auxiliary battleships, the two fleets were like small fishing boats in a storm that were being tossed up and down by the evil storm as if they would sink at any time. Under such circumstances, the two fleets could only barely maintain their formation, and did not dare to easily go deep into the center of the storm to investigate the situation.
In the command tower of the flagship of the First Fleet, Giant Wave, Cridia, the commander of the First Fleet, was frowning and looking at the depths of the dark storm. As a commander of the navy, he could naturally tell that the disaster-like scene in front of him had nothing to do with the sea's climate at all, but was instead caused by an anomaly caused by something.
Cridia could not imagine what kind of terrifying existence could cause such a disaster-like anomaly, but he was certain that it was definitely not easy to deal with. He was able to sit in his current position not only because he was from the elder family, but also because of the accumulation of battle credits.
In Cridia's memories, the most dangerous experience he had had was when he led a fleet to chase away a Sanctuary-level marine magical beast for the kingdom. However, compared to the scene in front of him, even the changes in the world caused by the terrifying Sanctuary-level marine magical beast paled in comparison.
Because of this, Cridia didn't even rashly send people into the depths of the storm to investigate the situation. He knew very well that even his powerful flagship might not be able to penetrate deep into the center of the storm, let alone other battleships used for reconnaissance.
Now, all Cridia could do was wait. Both fleets entered a state of battle, waiting for the thing in the storm to reveal itself. Of course, the best case scenario was that the terrifying thing was just passing by. Otherwise, he reckoned that the two fleets might not be able to stop it.
At this moment, the storm suddenly stopped, and the huge waves disappeared without a trace in an instant. It even felt like the surface of the sea was as calm as a mirror. However, the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate. Instead, they became thicker and thicker, and there were countless lightning bolts in the dark clouds.
Seeing this, Cridia immediately became nervous, and hurriedly ordered the fleet to get ready for battle.
As soon as Cridia's order was passed down, the sea that was shrouded in dark clouds changed again, and a huge shadow gradually emerged from the surface of the sea, as if an island had risen from the bottom of the sea. Moreover, when the shadow emerged, it was also approaching the two fleets.
Finally, Cridia saw the true appearance of the shadow, which turned out to be an extremely large black whale. Although giant whales were not very rare in the Endless Ocean, the black whale in front of him was extremely different from the giant whales that people were familiar with. Not only was its body dozens of times larger, but it also looked far more ferocious than ordinary giant whales.
This giant black whale, who didn't even know if it should be called a giant whale, had a thick black horn on its head, like the mast of a warship. When the black whale emerged from the surface of the sea, a pair of huge wings spread out on its back. Those wings seemed to be able to cover the sky and the earth, flapping slightly but not setting off any wind or waves.
When he saw the true appearance of the black whale, even Cridia, who never showed his emotions, could not help but be so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. Although he did not say anything, he was shouting crazily in his heart, 'Berserk Whale Rabu, it's actually the legendary Berserk Whale Rabu! Why is it here!?'
Fortunately, Cridia did not shout out, or else if the people on the fleet heard the name Berserk Whale Rabu, their so-called morale would probably directly hit rock bottom.
Berserk Whale Rabu was said to have the bloodline of an ancient savage whale and an ancient demon god, so it had the huge and powerful body of an ancient savage whale, as well as some of the characteristics of an abyssal demon. It was born at the end of the prehistoric times, and was now hundreds of thousands of years old. It had caused countless disasters in the history of the Endless Ocean, and even the evil beasts were probably incomparable to it.
Fortunately, the Berserk Whale Rabu would often fall into a deep slumber, and it would sleep for thousands of years. Otherwise, the Endless Ocean would have been ruined.
Once, before the Ocean Dynasty, the Sea Spirits, who were known as the descendants of the Sea God, dominated the Endless Ocean. The Sea Spirits claimed to be protected by the Sea God. Although they did not rule all the Sea Clans like the Ocean Dynasty, they were definitely the strongest among all the Sea Clans in terms of strength. They were also the Sea Clan that had the most hope of unifying the Endless Ocean at that time.
The appearance of the Sea Spirits was somewhat similar to that of the High Elves of Anril, and their talent was not inferior to that of the High Elves. At their peak, the Sea Spirits had nearly 20 Sanctuary powerhouses and countless Legendary powerhouses. Their powerful army swept across the Endless Ocean, and all the Sea Clans were in awe of them.
However, because the Mad Whale Rabu had suddenly awakened in a trench in the Sea Spirit Race's territory, a huge disaster had befallen the Sea Spirit Race. During that period of time, an evil storm enveloped the sea of the Sea Spirits, and the entire sea became the hunting ground of the Berserk Whale Rabu. By the time the storm subsided and the dark clouds dispersed, the Sea Spirits, who were once powerful, were actually completely wiped out from the Endless Ocean, and the Sea Spirits also became a legend that only existed in myths.
Now, the terrifying Berserk Whale Rabu actually appeared in the sea of the Gilded Kingdom, which made Cridia, who had seen countless storms and waves, feel a chill run down his spine.
"Attack, attack with all your might!" Cridia, who had snapped back to his senses, ordered at the top of his lungs.
All the battleships that were facing the giant black whale immediately activated all their weapons, and the light of the alchemical cannons interweaved into a dazzling giant net of light on the surface of the sea. The Sea God Crossbow Spears that were as thick as a human's waist even shot towards the giant black whale, almost drowning its massive body.
However, to the Berserk Whale Rabu, an attack of such a level was really not enough. Although the attack seemed massive, the strongest attack power was only at the Legendary-level, and it was not easy to hurt the Berserk Whale Rabu.
With an earth-shattering roar, the surface of the sea that had just calmed down once again surged with waves that seemed to have a life of their own. They leaped out from the surface of the sea and slapped towards the attack launched by the Gilded Kingdom's fleet. The Sea God Crossbow Spear made of hard metal could even pierce through a mountain peak, but it was smashed to pieces by that seemingly ordinary wave. Each of the cannons that were condensed from pure mana had the power of Legendary-level magic spells, but they were easily extinguished by the waves.
The powerful attack that the Gilded Kingdom's fleet launched that seemed to be able to destroy everything seemed exceptionally weak in the face of the giant black whale at this moment. It was like an ant swinging its fist at an elephant. It wasn't even qualified to scratch its itch.
Immediately afterwards, the Berserk Whale Rabu's counterattack came, and the wind and waves on the surface of the sea suddenly fell. The huge water blades that were like the dorsal fins of sharks that were exposed on the surface of the sea rushed towards the Gilded Kingdom's fleet. The huge water blades were even taller than the flagpoles of the alchemical battleships, and they broke through the surface of the water with a sharp whistling sound as if they were going to cut the battleships in half.
Fortunately, Cridia was cautious. Although he had ordered the fleet to launch a wave of attacks, he did not forget about the issue of defense. In fact, at the beginning of the attack, he knew that such an attack would not yield any results at all. The goal of the fleet was no longer to expel the Berserk Whale Rabu, but to survive in the hands of that demon.
Hence, at the same time that the attack was launched, the fleet had already formed a defensive array, and the Defense Arrays on the battleships were all activated to the maximum. The defensive force field was like a solid crystal that enveloped the fleet.
However, could such a defense really block the attack of the Berserk Whale Rabu? The others did not know the legend of the Berserk Whale Rabu, and hence were still full of confidence in the defense of the fleet. However, Cridia could not be that optimistic. If the attack of the Berserk Whale Rabu could be blocked so easily, the powerful Sea Spirit Clan in the legends would not have perished.
Indeed, just like what Cridia was worried about, when the first water blade hit the defensive force field of the fleet, the sturdy defensive force field had already begun to shake. In fact, they could clearly see that there were web-like cracks on the crystal-like defensive force field.
The battleships that were protected by the defensive force also began to shake violently during the impact, and they were just like a lonely boat on the top of a wave, looking extremely helpless.
However, such an attack was only one of the thousands of attacks that the Berserk Whale Rabu had launched. At this moment, without needing Cridia to say anything, all the people on the battleships unanimously activated the defensive arrays with all their might. Even if they did not know that the giant black whale was the mythical Berserk Whale Rabu, they knew that the swarm of attacks was definitely not easy to block.
The first to suffer was the 7th Fleet. They were only in charge of the coastal defense mission, because the configuration of the fleet was also based on this mission. If they were asked to deal with some illegal merchant groups or pirate fleets, they would definitely be invincible. However, against an enemy like the Berserk Whale Rabu, it was obviously not enough.
The water blade attacks that the Berserk Whale Rabu had launched landed on the defensive force field of the 7th Fleet one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the seemingly sturdy defensive force field was blasted into pieces. Immediately after, the water blade attacks rushed into the fleet, and even the powerful giant alchemy ships were like mud in front of the water blades, and were instantly sliced in half.
Seeing what happened to the 7th Fleet, Cridia could only helplessly close his eyes. It was not that he was ruthless, it was just that under the attacks of the Berserk Whale Rabu, his fleet was only barely holding on, and did not have the slightest bit of spare energy to rescue the 7th Fleet. In fact, the situation of the 1st Fleet was also extremely critical at this moment. The defensive arrays on all the battleships were already operating at an overload, but the defensive force field was still as fragile as an eggshell that could shatter at any moment.
Finally, after a dazzling burst of flames, the wreckage of the flagship of the 7th Fleet gradually sank to the bottom of the sea. At the same time, the establishment of the 7th Fleet was announced, and it had completely become the history of the Gilded Kingdom. Faced with such a situation, Cridia no longer looked sad, because he knew that the present of the 7th Fleet was the future of the 1st Fleet. Perhaps the 1st Fleet would also follow in the footsteps of the 7th Fleet in the next moment.
At this moment, a few figures suddenly streaked across the sky from the direction of Helena Port, and arrived above the 1st Fleet at lightning speed. They were none other than the Sanctuary powerhouses of the Gilded Kingdom and several elder families. The arrival of the Berserk Whale Rabu finally forced the Sanctuary powerhouses who had been indifferent to worldly affairs to show up.
Besides, there were also several figures following behind the Sanctuary powerhouses. There were Queen Harilya and Prince Clive of the Sea Demon Clan, Young Lord Gerina and the four Divine Generals of the Giant Shark Clan, as well as Sanctuary powerhouses of the Thunder Eel Clan, the Octopus Clan, and the Savage Whale Clan. There were also Saint Edmund and Elder Zumar of the Illuminati, High Priest Sendros of the Darkness Shrine, and Lin Li and a few subordinates of the Tower of Dusk.
It could be said that at this moment, all the Sanctuary powerhouses and peak Legendary powerhouses on Four Seasons Island had arrived in the sky above this sea area at the same time. Of course, they did not come with the same goal. For example, Lin Li and the others who came from the mainland were probably just curious.
