After many years of exploration.
Based on the human's understanding of this world, even if they only calculated according to the known territory, the ocean area was close to 90%.
Other than the very limited main sea routes, even the most cutting-edge naturalists did not dare to say that their understanding of this vast ocean had reached one-thousandth.
Even on the main sea routes, what secrets were hidden under the water was still a mystery to the humans!
It was obvious.
Judging from the various intelligent creatures active in this underwater city, the humans were not the only lucky ones in this world.
The Creator did not give them any favoritism, nor did he give them the ownership of this world!
Perhaps as the humans explored the world step by step, they would eventually learn how to get along with these powerful intelligent creatures.
In the Misty Sea that was comparable to a forbidden area, in the Shattered Star Sea that had just begun its large-scale exploration a few years ago, in those secret realms that were not recorded on the nautical charts, as the humans walked further and further, the true face of the world would eventually unfold before them.
Sea fairies, murlocs, djinn, drowned souls, and other creatures that could communicate normally were trivial. The strange monsters that wandered the bottom of the sea, the evil kin of unknown existences, and the indescribable creatures hidden deep in mysterious areas were the real terror!
The oldest and strongest emotion of the humans was fear, and the oldest and strongest fear was the unknown.
It was unknown what kind of price the humans would have to pay to explore the unknown in the future!
And these were also the things that Elvin, who had embarked on a new journey, had to face.
At this moment.
In the center of the underwater city "Herakrian", the "Raging Waves Temple" that had already begun to take shape after being prioritized for restoration.
"Your Excellency Huggins!"
"Bishop Faith!"
Among the human members under the Goddess of the Black Sea, the two with the highest status met at the door.
One was the Pirate King Huggins who did not show any signs of weakness despite having a broken arm.
The other was the Bishop of the Storm, Faith, who wore a rippling robe and had a determined look in her eyes.
As the number one contributor to the Goddess of Liberation, it was natural for Huggins to become the leader of the human members. However, Faith's sudden rise was beyond everyone's expectations, especially Huggins'.
Because.
Unlike those elite pirates who only believed in him because of his orders and constant self-suggestion, this "disruptor" and "lucky one" who came out of nowhere was the most devout among the thousands of members of the Raging Waves Temple!
Untrustworthy, False Trustworthy, Shallow Trustworthy, Devout Trustworthy, Fanatic Trustworthy …
Faith, who had just been converted to the Goddess, had become a devout believer. She was even showing signs of becoming a fanatic believer!
This difference in faith may be difficult to distinguish in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of God, it was clear at a glance.
Of course, the gift came with it.
In particular, as a clergyman, the Raging Waves Priest relied heavily on the powers of the deity. This also meant that they didn't need to put in too much effort or learn all kinds of skills and knowledge. As long as they could offer their faith, establish contributions, and please the deity, everything wouldn't be a problem.
Therefore …
A month ago, Faith was just an ordinary person. At this moment, she had already easily surpassed the level of an apprentice and became a clergyman of the Raging Waves Church, who was equivalent to a Grade Two Extraordinary!
He was ranked above everyone who had joined the Church at the same time.
It also broke Huggins' plan to monopolize the power of the Raging Waves Church.
Of course, it was only possible to make an exception and promote a new force when it had to start from scratch.
After the Church had stabilized, faith, contributions, and the upper limit of the Goddess' power would all become thresholds, limiting the path of advancement for most people.
However, the brand-new Faith clearly hadn't realized this point. She only had respect for Huggins, a powerhouse whose strength and contributions were indisputable.
"Your Excellency Huggins!
Your loyalty to the Goddess is beyond all of us. You are the role model for all of us Raging Waves Priests!
It's just that our strength is too low. If we lose an entire left arm, we won't be able to serve the Goddess anymore.
However, this doesn't stop us from admiring you! "
Dong … dong … dong …
Huggins looked at the fellow who had ruined his original plan. His sharp eyes flickered and the veins on his forehead couldn't help but twitch.
As a non-believer who only had benefits and power in his eyes, he couldn't tell if the words of this fanatic believer were sincere or hypocritical.
For an ordinary person, losing an arm was, of course, a terrible thing. However, in the eyes of the Raging Waves Priests under the Goddess of the Black Sea, this was dedication and loyalty to the Goddess!
Moreover, this kind of argument was very popular among the human believers under the Goddess. It made it difficult for Huggins to get off the tiger.
Although the profession of 'Banished Prisoner' was transformed from a Knight who was good at using physical strength, they believed that the human body was actually a shackle that imprisoned the soul.
By freeing one's instincts and nature, banishing reason, kindness, and even humanity, releasing the 'prisoner' in one's heart, one could obtain great power that surpassed one's limits.
Currently, he, who had just stepped into the Fourth Grade 'Unbreakable', still needed the support of his physical strength.
However, if he could reach the level of a Titled Knight to condense a 'Titled Sacred Tool' or a Crown Wizard to achieve 'Truth Manifestation', he would be able to completely break free from the last shackles of this human body. He would exist as a combination of spirit and energy, obtaining true freedom!
Therefore, how could the 'Unbreakable' who viewed the physical body as a prison have the ability to regrow a severed limb?
When everyone thought that Huggins was deliberately showing his loyalty, it would be difficult for him to be thick-skinned enough to ask the Goddess for a new arm.
Perhaps.
Now, whether it was in terms of strength or reputation, he was truly the number one person under the Goddess.
However, if he were to suddenly appear in front of these believers one day with both his arms intact, it would truly be difficult to lead the team!
At that time, the distance between him and the Guild Master of the 'Deep Sea Brotherhood', Haimts, who could command hundreds of people with a single call, would truly be far away.
Clearly, Huggins, who believed that he had broken free from all the shackles, did not notice that he was firmly bound by another shackle that he had woven with his own hands. Furthermore, he might never be able to break free from it.
That was a blazing 'heart for fame and profit'!
"Hahaha, Bishop Fisher! We have all seen your devotion to the Goddess. The Raging Waves Church needs to start anew from scratch. We still need to sincerely cooperate and work together! "
Huggins tacitly agreed to Fisher's praise. However, he had already made up his mind. He was going to look for the 'evil alchemist' that he had met before and see if he could get himself an alchemy arm that could be disassembled at any time.
"For the Goddess!"
For a devout believer, there was clearly nothing more important than the Goddess's career.
"I have already received the Goddess's promise. I can borrow Her power to build a legendary warship that belongs to our Raging Waves Church.
However, we will need to search for sufficient extraordinary materials on our own.
To the Goddess who was born as a human, we are obviously Her true power. The increasing number of foreign species might not necessarily be a good thing.
I hope that when I am not around, as the current highest clergyman, Your Excellency can shoulder your responsibility and ensure the purity of the Raging Waves Church! "
Since what was done could not be undone, he could not completely control the newly born Raging Waves Church. He also could not take the risk of angering the Goddess by getting rid of this most devout believer.
Of course, he could only turn it into a cooperation and jointly control this power.
Fisher was indeed convinced by Huggins's' foresight '. He felt that Huggins was indeed worthy of being the Pirate King that roamed the seas.
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Huggins. You can go ahead and build a legendary warship that belongs to us. Just leave the underwater city of Herakleyan to us, the Raging Waves Church!"
In the depths of the shrine behind him, the sirens who had become the Goddess's personal attendants were singing the melody of the sea with their pleasant voices.
"Uha! Uha! "
In the half-submerged square not far from the shrine in the center of the city, a group of murlocs covered in scales of various colors had abandoned their original bone and stone tools. They were waving the steel cold weapons that the pirates had brought underwater and practicing hard.
The murlocs had strong bodies and did not have the weakness that human warships could not attack underwater. As more and more murlocs rushed over to take up the role of the main force, they could completely surround and kill the sea monsters with an advantage of ten times or even a hundred times.
The Drowned Souls who were holding weapons of various eras, such as scimitars, longswords, short spears, crossbows, matchlocks, and flintlocks, swarmed through the city in groups.
They were immune to physical damage and could even turn their bodies into nothingness. They were the best scouts and assassins.
The Djinn were the smallest in number, but they were the core commanders under the Goddess's command. Not only did each of them not lose out to a small sea monster, but they also possessed extraordinary intelligence that was comparable to humans.
More wild sea monsters had been dispatched to regain control of their former territory.
Here.
With the 'Eye of the Storm' as their base, the reborn forces had begun to prepare their troops and horses. They were ready to start a war with the 'Mother of the Sea Monsters' on the other side for the right to rule the Black Sea.
It could be a month, or it could be a year. Although the two Goddesses who were in a weakened state were unlikely to fight head-on for a short period of time, the war between their followers could start at any time.
It could be at the dark bottom of the deep sea. Of course … it could also be at the main artery of human trade — the Far Sea Route!
