It was the silver-haired young man standing at the front of the ray boat, "Sorcerer of Big Fish" Sliv.
"What does it matter to you what I'm doing here?" Mariyasah sat up from his chair and answered Sliv's question lazily. "I'm the manager of the White Clam Shipping Company. Is it strange for me to show up at sea?"
"Lord God of Ocean is about to arrive. Mariyasah, I suggest you stay away. If you offend Lord God of Ocean, you won't be able to get away with your excuses."
Sliv's words sounded frivolous, but his expression remained cautious. He did not lower his guard just because of Mariyasah's casual tone. Mariyasah was known as the "Demon Hunter" after all, and he was one of the few truth-finder wizards in Floating Mech City who could fight real battles.
"Speaking of which, I have a question." Mariyasah stood up and stretched, revealing his muscular, tanned chest. "Why not the other seas? Why this one?"
Sliv stared at Mariyasah quietly, waiting for him to say something.
"So I was right. That Leviathan that showed up out of nowhere is very strange." Mariyasah raised an eyebrow.
Sliv was still smiling, but his expression was much colder than before.
Mariyasah continued, "At first, I didn't think there was anything wrong with the Leviathan. I just used Detect Luck, which I haven't learned for many years, to ask a question. You know, I'm not a Prophet. Even if I learned a few Prophecy cantrips, they often fail. I don't care if the answer is' Yes' or 'No'. But … the Luck Detection's answer is: Unable to detect. "
Sliv's expression was getting colder.
"Interesting. You don't want anyone to know about Silver Palm Isle, so you set up a mist that even Prophets cannot see through. Speaking of which, it's a bit unnecessary. " Mariyasah spoke slowly, "Now, can you tell me why you won't let anyone enter the sea ahead of us?"
Sliv suddenly laughed. "We wouldn't be willing to spend so much money if there's not a huge profit to be made. Can't you guess what kind of profit we're going to get?"
Mariyasah shrugged nonchalantly. "Looks like you're not going to give in. But it doesn't matter. Darch, keep driving. If you don't tell me, I'll see with my own eyes. "
Darch could not resist Mariyasah's order at all. He let out a squeak and continued sailing, even though there was a giant ray in front of them that was many times larger than them.
"So you really want to go against Song of the Deep, Mariyasah?" Sliv's expression darkened. He even gave up on his usual "what".
"Please be clear that I'm not your enemy. Instead, you're going against the entire wizarding world. "Mariyasah laughed as he drove toward Silver Palm Island.
Sliv didn't stop him because he couldn't.
After Mariyasah left, Sliv frowned and saw two bubbles coming out of Becky's mouth.
This kind of bubble was the unique communication bubble of the Song of the Deep. It used the sound field frequency between sea beasts to achieve ultra-long distance communication.
Sliv tapped on the bubble on the left and listened to the voice transmission. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Now he knew why Mariyasah had said that they were going against the entire wizarding world before they left. He just received news that there were many undercurrents in the wizarding world in the south. Rumors about Silver Palm Island were spreading like wildfire. Some claimed that a Mystery item was about to be born, some claimed that there was a chance to become a truth-finder, and some even claimed that there was a secret dimension hidden here.
Normally, wizards wouldn't pay attention to such news. They would just treat it as a rumor.
However, the person who spread the rumor swore, "If you don't believe me, you can test it with a prophecy spell."
Sliv didn't need to think about the consequences. When the wizards learned that Silver Palm Island was shielded from the detection of prophecies, they knew something was wrong.
It was impossible for the island to be shielded from such a wide range of prophecies without spending a lot of money. There had to be something great going on! Any wizard who smelled something good would definitely flock here!
Sliv clenched his fists. He was sure that Mariyasah was the one who did this.
Sliv was already considering if he should inform the God of Sea right away. Otherwise, if a large number of wizards came to Silver Palm Island, they wouldn't be able to handle all of them with their current manpower.
Sliv decided to wait and listen to what was going on in the second bubble.
However, when he heard the voice from the second bubble, Sliv couldn't sit still anymore. He patted the ray he was riding and said, "Bicky, send a message to the God of Sea. Tell him … the door is opening!"
Bicky flapped her butterfly-like wings and sent out a message.
After Bicky sent the message, Sliv immediately flew towards Silver Palm Island.
On his way to Silver Palm Island, Sliv ran into Mariyasah again. Sliv glared at him and sped up without looking back.
Mariyasah stroked his chin and asked the imp Darch, "What did his expression mean?"
Darky licked his fangs. "Master, I'm just an imp with low intelligence. I can't read people's expressions."
Mariyasah raised his foot and kicked Darky hard.
At the same time, Darky felt the chains tightening around him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I think Sliv wants to express his anger towards you."
"And then?" Mariyasah continued.
"Then, then … something terrible must have happened. Sliv was very anxious and desperate." Darky turned around and saw Mariyasah raising his foot again. He quickly said, "Master, I'm really an imp with low intelligence. That's all I can feel."
Darky flapped his little bat wings as he spoke, as if he was trying to please Sliv.
Mariyasah put his foot down. He didn't want to argue with this "imp with low intelligence". He mumbled to himself, "Looks like I'm here at the right time."
After a round of proud laughter, Mariyasah said, "Darky, speed up!"
When Sliv arrived at Silver Palm Island, he immediately saw the basket witch and Lady Payne hovering in the air. They glanced at him from afar. Although their gazes seemed weak, Sliv felt great pressure. It was even greater than the pressure he felt from Mariyasah.
Sliv picked a new direction, away from the people of Summerdew Ridge. He mumbled, "You don't have much time left to show off."
When he was in the air, Sliv finally looked at Silver Palm.
After days of self-doubt and struggle, Leviathan seemed to have understood something, but at the same time, it didn't.
It didn't know why it came here, but it knew what it was here for.
There was a mysterious force that brought it here and asked it to guard a door.
It didn't know what was behind the door.
It didn't know why it was here as a gatekeeper. It just followed its gut feeling.
However, as time passed, the mysterious force seemed to have weakened. The leviathan began to realize that it was not a gatekeeper, but the king of the deep, the predator at the top of the food chain in this area.
When the seed of self-doubt blossomed into a flower of enlightenment and bore the fruit of anger, the leviathan finally began to resist violently.
It began to attack everything in its path, especially the door it was guarding.
When Sliv arrived, the entire island of Silver Palm was razed to the ground in its frenzied attack.
However, it seemed like the leviathan was not done venting its anger. It kept moving its powerful body and slowly attacked the door that only it could see.
A series of energy ripples were released from the Silver Palm Island.
None of the non-wizard-level supernaturals could withstand the energy ripples and fell into the sea, unconscious. Even Sliv was a little scared. He could even feel that Becky was trembling under him.
The leviathan was using all its advantages to destroy the source of its anger.
The king of the deep's anger caused thunderstorms and hurricanes to appear in the sky. Combined with the leviathan's power, huge waves were created.
Countless sea tornadoes were rapidly forming and rushing in all directions.
The violent outburst of power finally caused the unstable energy in the vicinity to collapse.
Energy collapse signified … the formation of an energy storm!
The size of the energy storm depended on the size of the collapse and the amount of primordial mana in the area. The energy collapse caused by the leviathan was calculated in the "sea"! Plus, Devil's Water was rich in primordial mana, so the energy storm was beyond imagination.
Even Sliv could not hold on in such an energy storm.
Only the Basket Witch and Mariyasah, who had just arrived, were able to keep their composure.
Mariyasah looked at the rampaging leviathan in front of him and smiled bitterly. "What's with all the commotion? I don't think I can use my opening lines now."
As Mariyasah spoke, he ordered Darky to row to the north.
Under Mariyasah's protection, Darky was fine. He even clapped his hands in joy when he saw the destruction caused by the energy collapse.
"Master, why do we have to row to the north?"
Mariyasah didn't mind Darky's inappropriate question. He pointed at the sickly girl sitting on the basket monster and said, "That one over there is as crazy as Isabella, and he's much stronger than her. Let's stay away from him."
Summer Dew tilted her head and looked at the leviathan with her hand on her chin. She didn't care about Mariyasah's little gesture. Instead, she looked at the leviathan with a smile as if she was looking at a toy.
