I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

”It’s an Evil Curse.”

”These skeletons are related to the Evil Curse.”

The infinitely resurrecting skeletons can be purified, and once purified, they will be completely erased.”

This is the method Han Zhan found to break the stalemate!

”Nuannuan, Lingling, soak the Special Shells in water.”

Han Zhan immediately made a decision.

It was mentioned at the beginning, because Water Planet is a Sea Battle World, the shell’s waterproof capability is top-notch.

Special Shells are not afraid of being soaked, the only concern is the cannon.

However, in this regard, [Imperial Dawn] does not need to worry.

As a Legendary Cannon, its firing method is different from ordinary cannons.

The combination of both proves Han Zhan’s plan is completely feasible!

At this time, more and more Skeleton Warships are sailing out from the Nether Sea, continuously emerging from the darkness.

Soon, the entire sea area will be filled with bones.

The defense of ”Garuda” may not fear it, but others might not be so lucky.

It must be resolved quickly.

Nuannuan and Jiang Lingling used nets to immerse the Special Shells in seawater and then scooped them up again.

Other Contracted Spirit Girls quickly took out the Special Shells and sent them to the artillery rooms.

When the Special Shells were delivered to the artillery rooms, the light of purification had already appeared on the shell’s surface, emitting an incomparably dazzling blazing white.

”Now’s the time!”

”Load, fire!”

The Unparalleled Cannon Princesses followed the instructions, completed the loading, and with a loud boom from the [Imperial Dawn], the Special Shells enveloped in purifying flames exploded in the midst of the Skeleton Warships in the distance.

In an instant, the purifying flames turned into sparks that scattered everywhere.

The originally dimming White Holy Flame, fueled by more Evil Curses, burned brightly again!

This time, the shattered Skeleton Warship could not resurrect.

Under the raging Holy Flame, they burned to ashes just like those skeletal crew, dead beyond dead.

The flames burning in the pitch-black Domain of the Sea of the Dead illuminated the darkness, shining on the bone-like face of the South King on the ship behind.

The flames danced in his hollow eye sockets.

”Even if you’ve found a way to counter it, so what?”

”This Sea of the Dead made from billions of corpses, even if slaughtered, will take a long time.”

”Moreover, if I can stall you with these cannon fodder, my goal is accomplished.”

Just as the South King finished speaking, a fierce wind suddenly blew over the ”Garuda.”

In the pitch-black sky like a long night, the outline of a warship gradually became clearer.

It was the West King’s ship, ”Hidden Moth”!

While everyone’s attention was drawn to the South King’s undead army,

no one expected that a warship had silently appeared above them!

No time was given for them to react.

After being mutated and transformed, the ”Hidden Moth” dropped chains made of bones from its hull.

These chains seemed to have a life of their own, like flexible bone snakes, automatically seeking out nearby crew members and binding them tightly!

The crew didn’t realize what was happening before they were bound, their feet leaving the deck, being rapidly pulled into the sky.

”Get into the cabin!”

”Watch out for falling chains, get into the cabin!”

Only then did someone respond, reminding in their shout.

But, is truly being in the cabin a safe haven?

The answer is, no!

Those bone chains infiltrate everywhere, no warship leaves no access points.

Drain holes, anchor openings, turrets, paddle wheels—even places connecting to the ship’s interior.

Speaking of resistance, this is the Water Planet.

Boarding battles can be a specialty tactic because adventurers’ talents are invested in warships.

Facing Level 100 skeleton chains, they had no means of resistance!

Simply watching as comrades were captured one by one by the bone chains, then pulled skyward amidst exclamations, fate uncertain.

On the ”Garuda,” a bone chain silently appeared, suddenly tying up Nuannuan, who was soaking the Special Shells.

The ”Garuda” immediately emitted purifying brilliance, attempting to cleanse it.

But the Level 100 bone chain resisted purification for a few more crucial seconds.

Those few seconds were enough for Nuannuan and others to be dragged upwards to the ”Hidden Moth” in the sky.

”Ah!”

”Ah Zhan! Nuannuan is bound by skeleton chains!”

”Nuannuan!”

Seeing this, the other Contracted Spirit Girls cried out in alarm.

Hearing their cries, Han Zhan’s heart tightened, about to act only for Shang Siteng to stop him with a raised hand.

”Ah Zhan, you can’t go.”

”You’re the captain of the ’Garuda.’ If you leave, the ’Garuda’ will be without a leader.”

”Plus, you’re only Level 99; even if you go, are you sure you can defeat the West King?”

The West King was a divine being.

Han Zhan knew Shang Siteng spoke truth, but with Nuannuan captured, he couldn’t stand idly by.

”Let me go!”

Just then, Feng Xiaozao suddenly spoke.

”I possess a Divine Body; it’s most fitting I rescue Nuannuan.”

”But you...”

Han Zhan wanted to say she hadn’t fully fused with her Divine Body, but Feng Xiaozao interrupted.

”No time for hesitation.”

”I cannot stay a bystander forever; with this body, I must realize its worth!”

Feng Xiaozao resolutely declared.

After speaking, she lept from the ”Garuda,” pushing an unaware crew member aside, allowing the bone chain to bind her instead.

The chain tightened, violently dragging her skyward.

”Xiao Zao!” Gongyang Jin shouted, throwing a gem-studded sword toward Feng Xiaozao in the sky, which she caught in mid-air.

”We’ll wait for you to return!”

Gongyang Jin’s words placed a determined smile on Feng Xiaozao’s face.

She gripped the sword handle tightly.

”Certainly!”

...

As Feng Xiaozao resolved to rescue Nuannuan alone, another made a decision.

Jian Beifang.

On the ”Gray Sparrow,” pale azure light shone.

A gale swept across the entire Sea of the Dead.

The Northern King’s Old Forces’ ships surrounding the ”Garuda” obediently were blown towards the eastern sea.

Indeed, avoiding the lethal chains above required distance.

Jian Beifang’s actions had two more objectives.

”Han Zhan!” he shouted from the ”Gray Sparrow” citadel in the sea, ”Don’t worry about us! Finish your fight!”

Turning back towards the others, he continued,

”And we will complete our share of the battle.”

”Everyone, heed my command.”

”Our enemies lie to the east!”
