In the depths of the mysterious and vast Black Sea.
The chaotic weather seemed to have lost the most basic restraint of rules. Sometimes, it was empty, and sometimes, it was raging. Even apocalyptic tsunamis were not uncommon.
In the center of this chaotic area.
It was as if a rock had suddenly risen from the bottom of the deep sea, turning into a peak that pierced the surface of the sea, forming a unique island in the tens of thousands of square kilometers of deep sea.
There were no trees or even soil on the island. The rocky jungle was filled with all kinds of marine sculptures, such as whales, conches, sea anemones, octopuses, seahorses, sea snakes … All the marine creatures known to man could be found here. There were even more that were beyond the scope of man's knowledge.
It was just that every marine sculpture had shells and tentacles, giving people an indescribable feeling of malevolence and strangeness, making people feel intimidated.
This was the miracle of the mother of sea monsters, the promised land given to the sea monsters by the goddess. It was also the headquarters of the "Deep Sea Brotherhood". Even if it was exposed to wind, sun, rain, and even the invasion of tsunamis … it would never change!
Roar —!
Hiss —
Countless sea monsters of all sizes lived in this area of the sea. Even giant species that were rarely seen in other places could be found in groups here, like moving natural disasters.
They wantonly stirred up the sea, making the already harsh environment of the sea almost a forbidden zone for man!
However …
Behind the majestic temple on the island that reached the clouds, belonged to the outermost part of the island, beside a wide cave that was half submerged in the sea.
But … a pirate ship with black sails was quietly anchored there!
In the headquarters of the "Deep Sea Brotherhood" that was filled with sea monsters, a warship that belonged to man actually appeared?
Could it be that the sea monsters that hated man have changed their nature?
The size of the pirate ship was not inferior to the military's second-level battleships. It was rare to see such a ship among the pirate ships that paid attention to speed.
On the black main sail, a skull with a crown and eight octopus limbs was particularly conspicuous. At the bow of the ship, a ghost statue that was wrapped in black chains stood quietly, emitting a dim light.
These characteristics all pointed to its identity — it belonged to the Pirate King of the Black Sea, "Octopus Ghost" Huggins' ship, the "Eternally Imprisoned Icon"!
Roar —!
Roar!
Beside it, the roar of a giant beast could be heard from the cavern that would be empty even if a battleship were to sail into it.
At the bottom of the cave, where it was connected to the sea.
Vast ponds connected by complex waterways were densely packed. Even the smallest one had a diameter of more than 50 meters.
Red "stone walls" separated the pools, forming independent spaces. However, the red wall that looked like a stone felt more like some kind of hardened meat. It even emitted heat that was higher than the human body.
Combined with the pale-yellow liquid that was almost overflowing from the pool, this continuous cave was not a cold underground building. Instead, it gave people the feeling that this was actually a special organ of some kind of super-giant creature.
That was indeed the case.
The air in the underground cavern was filled with a strange smell like amniotic fluid.
Soaking in most of the ponds was a frog-like egg with a thick transparent gelatinous membrane. However, these eggs were thousands of times larger than a frog's egg.
Through the sticky, translucent gelatinous membrane, one could clearly see the young sea monsters curled up inside the eggs. Their shells and tentacles were all intact. It was obvious that these young sea monsters were all the offspring of the "Mother of Sea Monsters", Erketo.
The pale-yellow liquid kept churning, endlessly delivering nutrients to these sea monster eggs.
At this moment, there were hundreds of eggs of various sizes. Some developed quickly while some developed slowly. The bigger the size, the quieter it was. The smaller the size, the more complete the development.
There were even four or five sea monsters that were clearly small species that had already torn apart the outer gelatinous membrane. Soaking in the pale-yellow liquid, they howled strangely.
The stout looking 'Octopus Ghost' Huggins was currently standing on a stone platform in the periphery of this large pool of water.
Hearing the ferocious roars of the sea monsters, he could not suppress the joy on his face. Even the eight coiled whiskers on his chin were trembling, looking like squirming fleshy tentacles.
"Your Excellency Haimmuz, the development of the sea monsters seems to be going very smoothly! In just three short months, these small species have almost reached maturity.
So far, all the information about the Leiden Valley is under my control at all times.
I wonder, when will our final plan begin? "
Huggins turned around and asked a very tall white-robed figure beside him. This pirate king even used honorifics, which was very rare.
This was not hard to understand. Even if he was a cold-blooded, cruel, and vicious devil, Huggins still understood the most basic principle of the Extraordinary World, "reverence for power".
This was because the tall white-robed figure standing beside him was the president of the "Deepsea Brotherhood", the Rank Four Child of the Sea, "White Skeleton" Haimmuz.
Even if Huggins successfully broke through to Rank Four and reached the limits of the mortal world, he might not be a match for this unfathomable president of the "Deepsea Brotherhood", let alone the fact that he was only at the peak of Rank Three.
After all, the two vice presidents, Teinkut and Petrich, who were also at Rank Four, had been firmly suppressed by this "White Skeleton" for over a hundred years.
Unless …
Huggins had pledged allegiance to the "Mother of the Sea Monsters", or more accurately, to Lord "White Skeleton" Haimmuz.
At the cost of slaughtering nearly a hundred thousand people in the "Beluga Whale Harbor", he obtained eighty-seven sea monsters, which were mainly large-sized species and supplemented by small-sized species.
Although the "Mother of the Sea Monsters", Ector, would not do business at a loss and must have received a considerable "handling fee", the price of nearly a thousand lives in exchange for one sea monster was too high.
And it was precisely because of this president's strength that Huggins did not dare to have the slightest thought of bargaining.
Even if he was the king of the Black Sea pirates, who could summon tens of thousands of ferocious pirates with a wave of his hand, he was already considered a big shot among ordinary people.
But he had a clear understanding of this.
In front of a real "big shot", he, the "Octopus Ghost" Huggins, was no more than a pawn. In their eyes, there was not much difference between him and the ordinary pirates in his eyes.
So, he had to endure! He had to fiercely suppress his temperament as a pirate king!
This opportunity could allow him to break through to Rank Four in one go, and even more, he had to seize it!
He had to!
Even though Haimmuz's face was completely covered by his hood, Huggins could still feel a pair of extremely pressurizing eyes falling upon him. Then, a deep and dangerous voice, like a deep whirlpool in the deep sea, rang out.
"Of course, the great Goddess possesses unlimited might.
But the sea monsters that were born in a short span of three months not only possess extremely low intelligence, there is also a clear gap between their combat power and that of ordinary sea monsters.
Still, with the number of eighty-seven, it is more than enough to help you crush everything along the coast.
So, I do not care about the process. I only want the item hidden deep within the treasury! Do you understand? "
The tone of the president of the Brotherhood was not exactly polite, but Huggins dared not show any dissatisfaction.
He did something that he had not done for many years. He bowed slightly and guaranteed, "Rest assured, your Excellency. I will go ashore with the sea monsters and attack the underground treasury. I will personally obtain the Heart of the Sea of the Black Sea!"
"I hope so. Be at ease and wait for my orders."
After leaving those last words, Haimmuz's figure disappeared without a trace like mist. Huggins could not even tell if the one who spoke to him was the real Haimmuz or an illusion.
Under the shadow of the silk robe, Huggins's hands, which were adorned with several gemstone rings, suddenly clenched tightly. Then, he immediately loosened his grip and continued to look at the sea monsters that were hatching from the eggs in the pool as if nothing had happened. His gaze was distant and his thoughts were unclear.
As a powerful Transcendent of the Third Stage of the "Banished Prisoner" path, although he no longer had the symbolic shackles on his body, the shackles in his heart were still there.
And the thing that could allow him to break the last shackle was invincible power!
The "Banished Prisoner" path required a Tier 2 Knight as the prerequisite. Tier 3 was the true "Banished Prisoner". Only by completing the advancement ceremony could one become a true Tier 4 Transcendent. "The Undefeatable!"
'… Will I be able to ascend to Tier 4 and obtain the ultimate power by freeing a powerful prisoner who can overturn the world? Soon … The Brotherhood … Heh … Heh … '
Only with invincible power could one live as one wished!
Until …
Thud … Thud … Thud …
From the darkness behind him, a figure similar in stature to Huggins walked out.
