Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 305: Chapter 188: Even Cthulhu’s Kin Fears Ships (Part 3)

The thing suppressed at the bottom of the sea is the projection of the Evil God’s flesh incarnation. In terms of power, it’s not weaker than Erin’s pure energy projection and even possesses Authority. Erin alone seems a bit inadequate.

Only a fully descended Leman, merging with the left eye he smuggled into the Dungeon World, could steadily suppress the sea monster.

Could it be that this group from the Peace Church was targeting the Evil God’s remnant from the very beginning?

Wu Chang reluctantly stroked the statue of the Martial Star Monarch in his hand. Was such a treasure about to be used before it even got warm?

Half a minute later, giant waves began to surge on the sea’s surface, each higher than the last. With the final wave, the sea surface bulged like a large pack, and as the water fell, the existence within the water pack was revealed.

It was a giant octopus, resembling the mythical Kraken. Just the head protruding from the sea exceeded three hundred meters tall, and a pair of giant bat wings grew from its back.

In this form, any player who sees it would exclaim like Wu Chang:

”Damn, Lord Kraken!”

But soon, Wu Chang realized something was wrong. The Western Buddha he remembered squatting on a stone pier, though having elements of an octopus and bat, had a giant as the main body, not an entirely huge octopus.

Did Lord Kraken’s head become spiritual?

Or is it a relative of Lord Kraken?

Even if the Evil God in front isn’t Lord Kraken, the palpable oppression still makes it hard for anyone to breathe.

Wu Chang said to Cui Chengze: ”Is this what you call weak?”

Cui Chengze’s smile was a bit forced as he replied, ”I said weak compared to the Him from over a thousand years ago.”

Wu Chang: ”...”

He took a deep breath, resisting the urge to curse and asked, ”So what do we do now? Are you going to have us go up against it, while you stay at the back like over a thousand years ago, cheering us on?”

Cui Chengze, his bluff called, felt a bit embarrassed. He stiffened his neck and said:

”I’m telling you, never underestimate a God who’s survived for over a thousand years. Do you, a young person disrespecting your elders, know what experience is, what the accumulation and sedimentation of wisdom mean?”

Wu Chang nodded slightly and said, ”Go on.”

Cui Chengze snorted angrily and said, ”Watch closely, dealing with an Evil God doesn’t just require brute force but also brains. Do you think I spent these thousand years in vain?”

With that, Cui Chengze waved his hand, and over a hundred large ships formed a fleet and sailed towards the three of them.

The fleet comprised everything from ancient wooden tower ships to three-masted sailboats, to steamships, and finally to large cruise ships like the Sea Song; the variety of vessels was almost a microcosm of human navigation history.

Wu Chang looked at the massive fleet, too shocked to speak for a moment.

If this old fox Cui Chengze wasn’t just showing off his collection of models, then could it be what he was thinking?

Cui Chengze snorted coldly and said, ”The reason this place is called the Shipwreck Belt is that I’ve salvaged and restored all the sunken ships here. I’ve collected them for this very moment. The weakness of this Evil God is a fear of ships!”

”You look down on us seniors, but in this battle, I’m the main force!”

Lord Kraken fears ships, so the giant octopus before them is indeed related to Lord Kraken.

Under Cui Chengze’s command, over a hundred large ships launched a suicide attack on the Evil God.

An Evil God with Authority, by rights, shouldn’t be easily harmed by such a simple collision. Yet, these ship collisions breached the Evil God’s defenses as if hitting sensitive areas, making it let out continuous wails.

Of course, the Evil God wouldn’t just sit idly by. As the fleet attacked, it moved and swung its giant tentacles, smashing at the ships.

The pure wooden antique ships were extremely fragile against it, splitting in half with one slap. The ironclad and steam ships fared better but couldn’t approach due to the waves raised by the Evil God and the slapping tentacles.

Only modern large cruise ships like the Sea Song could withstand the Evil God’s attacks and crash into it.

But each collision with the Evil God would result in the ship sinking as it breached the Evil God’s defense but suffered a backlash from the Evil God’s Power of Origin.

In just a few minutes, the once-giant fleet had completely sunk.

As for the Evil God, half of its tentacles were broken, a pair of bat wings almost entirely damaged, and its round octopus head was bashed into an irregular concave, looking much more miserable than when it had just freed itself.

Yet, this was not over.

Cui Chengze said proudly, ”The reason I dared to suggest unsealing early, aside from you summoning a powerful God, is because you obtained a ship stronger than all my collections.”

Just as Cui Chengze finished speaking, a massive amphibious assault ship, the Blue Island, appeared on the Shipwreck Belt.

This time, the Evil God panicked, trembling lightly as it tried to flee, as if saying, ”No way, this big guy crashing in will be disastrous.”

You should know, back then, even a small ordinary motorboat could disperse the Energy Body created by Lord Kraken.

If a big guy like the amphibious assault ship crashes in, even Lord Kraken might shiver, let alone this youth version of little Lord Kraken in front of them.

With a massive collision and a horrible wail, the Blue Island sank as the Evil God was struck limp on the sea’s surface, barely alive.

Wu Chang patted Cui Chengze’s shoulder, giving him a thumbs up; only now did the situation fit his standard of weakness.

Beside him, Erin gathered a giant Hammer of Light again, hammering down on the Evil God’s head.

If it had known it would meet such a fate, it might have chosen to stay in the deep hole, not rushing out as soon as the suppression was lifted.

The Evil God projection was completely shattered by Erin, its giant octopus body collapsing, revealing a five-meter-long tentacle, almost dried into an octopus jerky.

This tentacle was the Evil God forcing its flesh into the Dungeon World.

The tentacle looked dry, but a tight squeeze still produced plenty of blood.

Using the ritual setup provided by Wu Chang, Cui Chengze used the Evil God’s blood to arrange a modified final transformation ceremony for him.

Wu Chang stood inside, rubbing his hands excitedly, wondering how much the quality of his transformation would improve when using Evil God’s blood for the third phase.

With the consciousness beginning, he felt a massive energy flooding into him.

According to the original progression, the final ceremony should use the innate Mysticism control ability of extraordinary creatures to transform the Secret Magic Knight’s meridians and bones, simulating an extraordinary creature to achieve Mysticism affinity status.

However, Wu Chang had already completed this step during his second transformation task.

Driven by the final ceremony, energy circled within Wu Chang, further strengthening his meridians and bones, but most of the energy remained unused.

Since further improvement wasn’t possible, elevation was the only option.

”Player has completed Transformation Task Three: Hunt an extraordinary creature with inherent Mysticism control ability in the Dungeon World, and use the prey’s blood to sketch the final ceremony, completing the transformation.”

”Beginning task evaluation.”

”Transformation Task Three completion: Perfect!”
