Sea monsters, as pets of the Ocean Gods, didn't even have their own names.
That was because they weren't intelligent enough to give themselves a name. Their masters often treated them as tools and pets, and they were at their beck and call. They didn't even have the chance to call them names, so naturally, they were too lazy to give them a name.
But even if they didn't give names, mortal witnesses would record every appearance of a sea monster and mark it down.
Shawenke was a name that even the octopus sea monster didn't know. It only existed in the records of the land and the sea.
Perhaps it didn't even remember that it had caused seventeen shipwrecks in the past, which involved six sunken ships, thirty-seven lives, and over three hundred thousand gold coins in property losses … … Because of that, it had a bounty of one hundred thousand gold coins on its head.
But because it was too difficult to figure out the pattern of sea monsters' appearances (they moved according to the will of the Gods and spent most of their time in the deep sea), it was basically unrealistic to hunt it down. Professional sea monster hunters would also choose an opponent that was easier to find.
The Black King of Poison Whips, this was actually the name that the giant octopus heard the most.
This was the name that the Seafolk called it. But when most of the Seafolk called out this name, their tone was filled with fear and despair. That was because this was often when it was time to eat, and the Seafolk were one of its favorite foods.
Although they were all individuals under the command of the Ocean Gods, sea monsters and the Seafolk were two completely different systems. Indeed, there were Seafolk who were able to tame giant sea monsters. But sea monsters that rose to the level of God's pet gave them the impression that they were God's punishment and irresistible natural disasters.
The Ocean Gods had never been a social God system that persuaded people to be good. The primitive law of the jungle permeated their way of life and behavior. When necessary, it was completely reasonable to give "God's punishment" to the Seafolk who were disobedient, weak, or too close to the humans.
Perhaps some people wouldn't be able to understand such a God, but this was because the Gods of the new era were mostly "close to the people." They were good at using benefits to guide the mortals' faith.
But in the old era, fear could also be used as the cornerstone of faith, and the Ocean Gods were the oldest and least changed among all the Gods.
"What? You actually dare to ask the great God what he will give you? You actually dare to not believe in the God? Aren't you afraid of the God's punishment? Look, his messenger is on the road. Misfortune is crawling. "
At this time, sea monsters were very suitable for mad dogs.
Perhaps the Sea Race would call him a Divine Envoy and maintain a certain degree of respect, but no one would be willing to see him in person.
Even if a "mad dog" was tied up by its owner, its owner wouldn't be able to keep an eye on it 24/7, nor would it be possible to stop it from casually enjoying some free "snacks" on the side of the road … Perhaps its owner would even want it to eat some snacks to save on its own food expenses, as well as spread fear among its believers and establish its authority.
This octopus, on the other hand, had eight arms and countless suction pads. Its eating speed was so fast and its appetite was so large that it was like a harvester of the sea race.
That was how it got its title of "Dirty Black King of Poisonous Whips".
Although the name was neither mighty nor cool, it was useful.
Yes, it was useful. It was just a functional name used to differentiate the monster's ownership and level of danger. Dirty Black referred to its color and shape. At the same time, it referred to the mud-like scars on its back. Poison Whip referred to the fact that its eight tentacles contained a powerful paralyzing poison. Even a mere brush with it could be fatal.
But actually, it was still just a wild beast.
A wild beast with low intelligence. A wild beast that relied on its instincts. A wild beast that had been tamed by its owner. A wild beast that had no concept of good or evil.
If it was hungry, it would eat. If it was tired, it would sleep. If it wanted to reproduce, it would go to the deep sea to find seal fish … Yep, our "Dirty Black King of Poisonous Whips" was actually a cute little girl (Wind Whisper).
And its previous actions were the berserk divine power that descended upon it from the heavens, making it so uncomfortable that it scurried everywhere. It was just like a person whose mouth was so dry that it could spit fire as it searched everywhere for a water source to quench its thirst.
Sometimes, a wild beast's survival instincts would be the most sensitive indicator. And divine power could make the impossible possible as long as it wanted to.
"Whoosh … whoosh …"
While Rorschach was still stubbornly trying to explain that it wasn't his fault, another group of travelers met with yet another plane crash. A strange change occurred underwater on that island.
Infinite amounts of black meat were madly increasing in size. They rapidly filled the entire underwater space. The island and the shoreline were all taken over by these pieces of meat that suddenly increased in size.
If one were to look down from above at this moment, they would discover that the entire island had been covered in black.
The ink-like magic and divine power was polluting this entire area. The high level of magic pollution had completely destroyed the ecology of this island. Fish Island's name and its role as a nursery would likely become history.
However, the black was still unsatisfied as it continued to expand in all directions.
And as it expanded, the storms, torrential rain, and ocean waves that had just been suppressed were awakened once again. And this time, although the intensity and strength of the storms were slightly lower, there were thousands upon thousands of disaster areas.
At the same time, the weather stations along the coast of Bair were all in an uproar.
"Tornadoes? Storm warnings? Underwater earthquakes? Is there no end to this? Someone's casting a forbidden spell again? "
"No, look at these sources. They're scattered across many different regions of the sea. Are many archmages casting spells to change the weather at the same time?"
"What the hell! Could it be that an Evil God has invaded? The natural laws of this entire area have been rewritten? "
Those staff members did not forget their duties even though they were shocked.
However, the answer they received from the mages was that the natural laws of this area were all normal. There were no large-scale shifts in the plane, and there were no abnormalities in the Star Network that was monitoring the entire world. They directly ruled out the possibility of an Evil God's invasion.
"… What's going on?"
Of course, no one could answer this question. Because this was an inevitable result of a series of coincidences. A life that possessed divinity was gradually awakening.
In the center of this pitch-black world, there was a blue egg of its original form. It was like the heart of this world, breathing and trembling continuously. And every time it contracted, the entire world would contract along with it. And when it expanded, this black world would suddenly expand in size.
And inside that egg, there was a faint glowing human figure that was being nurtured.
Finally, before the gods really began to interfere, the divine kingdom on this land suddenly contracted completely.
It took a long time to expand, but it only took an instant to contract. A large area of black flesh instantly necrotized and turned into ashes.
Meanwhile, the staff members of the monitoring station on the coastline had to spend a lot of effort to explain to their superiors that the natural disaster that they had just urgently reported had suddenly vanished without a trace.
However, on the place that was once Fish Island, a gigantic figure stood up.
Her upper body was humanoid, while her lower body was the gigantic body of a squid with eight gigantic tentacles.
She was somewhat confused, somewhat surprised, and somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Her appetite that had never been satisfied before had completely disappeared. She actually could no longer feel that eternal hunger. And what was even more incomprehensible to her was that there were many new pieces of knowledge and memory fragments in her head … She actually had self-awareness, and she could actually think for herself.
This was the first time she realized that there were actually other needs, thoughts, and actions apart from appetite.
She also subconsciously felt that there was something not too far away that she really missed, yet was filled with resentment.
Even though she had never seen that God Equipment before, she still subconsciously called out his name.
"Roland …'s sword."
While she was frightened by her own hoarse voice for the first time, her instinctive disgust made her decide to completely destroy that annoying existence.
