* Bang! *
After traveling for a few seconds in the tunnel of water, Elvin was spat out by the turbulent water flow.
"Phew! 'Where … Where am I?' But I'm lucky to be able to escape from that damned place. "
Elvin's heart, which was beating like a drum, only calmed down when he saw the blue sky and white clouds. He was sure that he had escaped from that cage-like time.
At this moment.
It was already daytime. He was surrounded by boundless blue seawater. A few kilometers away, there was a small island that was covered in white sand and had a few coconut trees. It seemed that it was still in the tropical area of the 'Shattered Stars Ocean'.
Under normal circumstances, the "blue hole" was a natural phenomenon that caused "random teleportation". The principle behind it was unclear, just like the "secret treasure of the sea".
Their destination could be another part of the sea, land, or even the sky. However, it was most likely to be at the bottom of the deep sea or even other realms.
Because it was too random, no one, including the wizards, dared to use it as a convenient means of transportation. Currently, only the two goddesses in the Black Sea could rely on their authority to predict and use a small part of the "blue hole".
Therefore, this natural phenomenon, which was not too harmful but was extremely difficult to guard against, was considered one of the three supernatural natural disasters, along with the "Black Dam" and the "Headless Wave".
However, it appeared at the right time and place and saved Elvin's life.
After this experience, Elvin had decided to revise his guess about the warning color of the [Ancient Scroll]. It was not that a terrible natural disaster could not kill him, but that a normal natural disaster could not kill him.
For a large-scale time reset like this, if not for the absolute nature of the god-given treasure, the [Golden Compass], and his good luck, he might have died this time.
His memory was sealed, and he was a prisoner for billions of years without knowing anything. He even committed suicide. When he temporarily regained his consciousness during the reset, it was worse than death.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Elvin noticed that a small part of the [World's Favor] had disappeared from his body. Compared to the past, it was a little bleak. Obviously, his "good luck" was not without a price.
At the same time, he also saw another use of the [World's Favor].
As long as Daddy the World's Will took care of him enough, even if a demigod wanted to come and kill him, he might suddenly encounter an emergency such as his menstrual period, allowing him to escape unwittingly.
It was rather similar to the eastern world's "protection of merit and virtue, indestructible".
Also, he happened to run into the scheme of the descendants of the ancient gods deep inside the Shattered Star Sea. He learned that they were collecting the fingernails of 'human beings' from the remnants of the four civilizations before the epoch. However, the specific usage of such materials could not be confirmed yet.
Although most of the troops did not know that it was them who attacked them, and the vanguard troops could not escape the cleansing of the "Flood" even if they escaped from the city, it was certain that they had been annihilated. However, as long as they were active in the Shattered Sea of Stars in the future, they would inevitably raise hostility between the two parties.
Today, it was Jeros and Stephanie who were trapped in the Kingdom of the Lost because of fighting each other. Tomorrow, it might be him.
Elvin decided to stay at home for the time being to avoid the limelight for the time being. Once he had accumulated enough [World's Favor], he would be able to go out again tomorrow.
Beep —!
At this moment, the familiar sound of a police siren rang in Elvin's ears once again. After realizing what the problem was, his expression changed. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and threw out a few drops of blood.
After they left the body, they quickly mutated and turned into strange creatures that shone with colorful lights like leeches in the blink of an eye. They were comparable to the monsters of the ancient gods.
They were part of the body cells that Elvin copied using Arion's genetic information. He used them as a template for [Spell-Like — Infinite Transformations]. He casually flicked out a blazing white electric light and turned them into dust.
Obviously, the Children of Gods could maintain their human appearance in the Jondrik area not because they were special, but because they were protected by the huge "cage."
Thinking of this, Elvin could not help but sigh.
"Sigh! Jeros and Stephanie can escape from the cage, but the 12 million Jondrikans will never be able to escape. "
It was an unbreakable shackle on the ancient civilization. The shackles on Jeros and the others might be on their bodies and souls, but the shackles on the Jondrikian people were on their very being. There was no such thing as a key to the shackles.
"Right!"
Elvin slapped his head. He just remembered that Jeros and Stephanie were still in his [Sorcerer's Garden]. He did not know what was going on.
Green clouds spread around him, and he disappeared from the sea with one step.
"Damn, what are you guys doing?"
As soon as Elvin entered the [Sorcerer's Garden], he was so shocked that he jumped up. On the dock where the [Sea Soul] was parked outside the City of Posedia, a dazzling light soared into the sky and lit up the entire space of 300 square kilometers.
As for the center of the light, it was Jeros' [Quasi-Legendary Battleship — Theseus].
It had a displacement of 1,000 tons, two vertical sails, thirty long oars on each side, and a giant bronze ram at the bow.
On the left and right sides of the ship, the God of Spring, Idun, and the God of Summer, Niord, were painted. On the top of the main mast, the God of Autumn, Skadi, was painted, and on the bottom of the mast, the God of Winter, was painted.
This was an ancient ship that had lasted for 1,500 years. It would be replaced wherever it was broken, and every time it was replaced, it would become stronger. Today, the ship had been replaced nine times, and it was only a little bit away from becoming a real legendary battleship.
The ultimate goal was immortality.
And all the crew members who stood on it could share the glory of immortality.
Originally, most of the structure of this Calais galleon was not inferior to a legendary battleship at all. Only the scattered broken points in the middle made the galleon's overall spiritual light not complete enough.
It was as if it still lacked a thread to connect the scattered pearls one by one to form a perfect pearl necklace.
Now, it seemed that the "thread" had been found.
Whoosh!
Endless spiritual wind suddenly descended, and under the guidance of an inexplicable force, it seemed to pass through the entire battleship as if it had no substance.
The coppery green faded away, and the giant ram, keel, ribs, planks, masts, hemp ropes, tar, oars, regenerative puppets that acted as oarsmen … Countless parts began to resonate.
The entire hull gradually became translucent.
Then.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
In the captain's room, the eight battleships that were originally sealed in wine bottles were liberated. They were originally pieced together with the decaying materials of the Theseus, but now, one by one, they were reduced to ashes and completely disappeared from this world.
Their essential concepts were successively submerged into the only Ship of Theseus in the world.
Clang!
After waiting for a few minutes, a loud bell rang in the void, and the light faded away. The transcendent transformation of the [Theseus] was complete.
In the future, if the last Ship of Theseus was further conceptualized and stripped of its essence, it would be a specific relationship between parts that had a space-time continuity.
To the Theseus School of Theseus, this was the ultimate immortality!
No amount of time or power could destroy this concept, just like how a powerful True God could not destroy a mathematical theorem.
Dong dong dong …
A wooden Regenerative Puppet officer wearing a Segmonta breastplate from the Holy Lothar Empire, a golden D-shaped helmet, a short sword, and an oval-shaped infantry shield walked up to the deck from the bottom of the warehouse.
He thumped his chest and saluted Jeros, who was trembling with excitement.
"Commander, Theseus salutes you!"
Elvin leaped onto the [Tyshus] and patted the back of this great adventurer who seemed to be in a dream.
"Mr. Jeros, congratulations! You've finally gotten what you wanted! "
As a veteran captain and adventurer, Elvin could understand his feelings. The first thing he did after escaping was to complete the modification of his battleship, allowing it to finally take the most important step in the past 1500 years.
He was also fortunate enough to witness the birth of a third legendary battleship in addition to the Miracle Crown and the Emerald Corona.
This trip to the Shattered Star Sea was a profitable one no matter what.
Not only did he rescue Jeros and Stephanie, but he also completed the qualitative transformation of the Theseus. Most importantly, he obtained a large number of complete sets of technology from the ancient civilization, such as floating battleships, single-person aircraft, and magnetic ohlite.
Compared to going through a lot of trouble to find the "lost treasures" in the cities of the ancient gods in the Spiritual Realm and then spending a lot of effort to decipher them, it was much more efficient.
Even with the [Mythological Language — Ancient Code] obtained from the Ash Beast, it was still a difficult and dangerous job.
Especially the key energy technology, magnetic ohlite, which was a powerful technological creation after the material civilization had developed to a certain level. It could absorb light and convert it into light energy, heat energy, electricity, kinetic energy, and other energy sources.
It was a waste to leave it in the hands of the Jondrilians and become a "big toy" for the upper class to enjoy.
If he brought this knowledge back to the New World, coupled with the ability of the [Heraldic Knight], it would be enough to start the age of electricity in a small area in the Duchy of Garriott and turn a new page in the world!
Jeros, who finally came back to his senses, immediately bowed deeply to Elvin and addressed him very solemnly.
"Mr. Garriott, you've saved Stephanie's life, and my life. Without you, we wouldn't have everything we have now. Now, the power of Theseus and I is your power. You can give us any orders you want! "
Obviously, this great adventurer, who was close to two hundred years old, had completely given up the leadership of the future exploration team behind the door and was willing to be Elvin's deputy.
"We're on the same side. You don't have to be so polite."
Elvin was happy in his heart and said a few polite words.
Snap!
With a snap of his fingers, the new legendary battleship carried him, Jeros, Stephanie, and Rahm to the sea outside.
The sky was high and the clouds were vast.
With the salty sea breeze blowing, Jeros' depression from being captured was gone. He looked at the vast sea and waved his hand in high spirits.
"Now, there's no place in the sea that can stop the Theseus!"
