CHAPTER 436: CHAPTER 106: THRILLING ATLANTIC OCEAN (THIRD UPDATE)

The Atlantic Ocean, the body of water separating the American continent from the Eurasian and African continents.

Hundreds of years ago, after Magellan discovered the American continent, the world embarked on the age of geographical discoveries, and the colonial movement raged in Africa and America.

A large number of African blacks were slaughtered and sold as slaves to plantations in America.

During the journey along the route, to prevent the outbreak of disease, some sick blacks would be thrown overboard by the slave ship owners.

It is said that, over time, sharks on the Atlantic would often follow behind the fleet.

For they knew, the upright creatures on the ships would throw food down.

On this triangular trade route, from Europe—Africa—America, countless sins and bloodshed have tainted it.

Legends say, too many wronged souls are submerged beneath the sea.

Upon the mass of bones, terrifying demons are born, wandering the ocean.

Once a ship sailing the Atlantic encounters a storm, the undead submerged beneath return from Hell to bring despair to the victors.

That is the black storm.

The black ghost wandering the Atlantic.

It emerges suddenly without warning, and once ensnared, survival is as rare as one in ten thousand.

"Boring rumors."

A luxurious cruise ship leisurely sails the Atlantic, a bright and captivating blonde girl leans against the top deck railing, the sea breeze gently caressing, the wine in her crystal cup swaying gently, much like the waves rippling below.

In the two-story hall, well-dressed gentlemen, like peacocks displaying their feathers, flaunt their knowledge through folk tales heard from who knows where, eliciting waves of exclamations from the ladies present.

"Ridiculous."

Listening to the colorful storytelling of avenging souls, Selena’s lips held a trace of a mocking smile as she took a small sip of red wine.

If the bones of those black bodies buried beneath this ocean truly spawned vengeful spirits, they would have long pulled everyone on this ship into the Hell Abyss when they set out to sea.

The driving force behind this inhumane slave route back then was a bunch of money-playing capitalists.

Without the ugly impulse of money, how could such a sinful route exist for centuries?

And she, Selena, as a member of the Rothschild Family, bore even more grave sins.

"In this world, only money is everything!"

Savoring the wine in her hand, the taste of money made her feel entranced.

Suddenly,

The sky darkened.

At some point, a cloud as pitch-black as ink and as heavy as a mountain drifted above.

Selena frowned slightly.

She wasn’t concerned about the cruise ship’s safety; as a member of the world’s top commercial aristocracy, here gathered a large group of noble-blooded elite individuals, and the cruise ship they were aboard was naturally one of the safest in the world.

She just hated the sudden storm disturbing her enjoyment.

On the cruise ship, the broadcast announcement was already activated.

Passengers returned to the indoor hall.

Selena didn’t move, the top deck of the cruise ship naturally had a magnificent canopy shielding her from sun and rain.

As a bloodline of the Rothschild Family, she was born with privileges and conveniences beyond ordinary people, such as freely roaming the top level of this cruise ship.

BOOM!!!

A clap of thunder rumbled across the sky, thunder and electric snakes wildly danced in the sky, winding erratically.

Under the dim sky, obscured by thick clouds, storms began to converge, raising gigantic waves.

Waves surged, the cruise ship rocked on the tumultuous ocean.

"Oh no, it’s the black storm! Quickly, turn back!"

A terrified shout unexpectedly rang out in the air.

At some point, the black storm overwhelmed and blanketed the entire sky and earth, sweeping in all directions.

Waves as high as three or four stories were whipped up by the terrifying black winds, turning into a devastating tsunami that devoured everything, the black storm mixed with rain violently lashing around, obscuring visibility as if this entire region was cast out of heaven and earth, plunged into the Hellish Demon Cave.

"Oh, no!!!"

"My god!"

Cries of fear echoed across the entire ship.

As one of the safest cruise ships in the world, at this moment trapped in the black storm, it was like a solitary boat in a storm, swaying precariously, about to capsize.

Like a roller coaster,

In the midst of massive ocean storm, the cruise ship flipped and rolled, the passengers – gentlemen and ladies alike – stumbled and fell to the ground without elegance, crashing onto floors and tables as the ship violently rocked.

Like sardines violently overturned in a net.

Utter chaos!

"God bless!"

On the top deck, Selena clutched a pillar tightly, loose objects around her being thrown about as the cruise ship tipped and rolled vertically, hitting her head.

Water droplets sprayed and splashed in from all around, whether rain or seawater, drenching her like a drowned rat.

Her heart filled with panic, overwhelmed by the uncertainty of the future, she prayed devoutly.

But the black storm intensified, the cruise ship seemed ready to be completely engulfed by the black storm.

Suddenly,

BOOM!!!

An unimaginable force suddenly rose from the depths of the black storm, its power immense, like a volcanic eruption, surging qi blood rose like wolf smoke, sweeping across the skies, dominating the heavens and earth!

From the depths of the black storm, there seemed to be an unknown entity, punching toward the sky.

An immensely majestic aura, as if a Divine being wielded a gigantic fist, shattering the void of heaven and earth.

The next moment,

The heavens and earth seemed to shatter with a single punch.

The heavy cloud layers, the terrifying black storm, everything vanished into nothingness in an instant.

The sky cleared, sunlight poured down from above.

As if not for the turbulent ocean around, one might think everything earlier was merely an illusion.

On the overturned ship caught in the rolling tsunami, everyone gazed blankly.

Incomprehensible.

Speechless, a deathly silence.

...

On the top deck, Selena barely steadying herself seemed to have seen something.

In the depths of the tumultuous sea, there seemed to be a silhouette.

She gripped the railing, slowly climbing up, trying to open her eyes widely, wanting to see clearly the person deep within the tsunami.

The other seemed aware of her gaze, suddenly lifting their head, eyes scanning over.

BOOM!!!

What kind of gaze was that!

Like Divine eyes piercing through the layers of void, penetrating deep into her heart, an overwhelming aura like a world-shattering tsunami enveloping her, sweeping her into a chaotic and vast world!

In that instant, Selena’s mind roared, as if thousands of pounds of explosives detonated within her head, scattering and shattering all thoughts, her mind plunged into a void.

Though hundreds or even thousands of meters away, appearing as tiny as an ant from afar, at the moment their gaze met, that immense and boundless gaze seemed to pierce through space, giving Selena a feeling of being pierced through with ten thousand arrows, as if the entire heaven and earth were collapsing and tearing apart.

She collapsed onto the ground, face pale as paper, as if plunged into an icy cave, unable to move even a single finger.

The figure merely glanced briefly, then shifted its gaze away, disappearing into the depths of the ocean.

And Selena,

her mind a white blank, unable to recover for a long time...
