CHAPTER 267: SATAN: WHO LOWERED MY RANKING BY ONE PLACE?

"Through offering, you can receive the true [Ocean's Blessing] from the incarnation of the ocean," Little Fish's voice rang out like an enchanting spell.

"Don't you want to live freely and joyfully in the azure ocean like a true Sea Person?"

After speaking, Little Fish extended its cold fin and gently touched the crystal-like water ring flowing on Henie's arm.

Henie looked down at the Ocean's Contract on her arm, which trembled slightly at its touch.

Then, she looked back up at Little Fish.

"Why should I choose to live in the ocean?"

Little Fish was stunned by Henie's question, its voice caught.

"But living in the ocean is such a comfortable thing."

"Because you're a fish, but I'm not."

Henie smiled at it.

Little Fish was puzzled, looking at Henie, unable to quite understand her words.

In its understanding, the ocean should be the most vast and all-embracing sacred place in the world.

Swimming freely in the sea should be every fish's honor.

But what confused the fish was that the girl before it decided to reject the ocean's embrace?

It didn't understand, because just as Henie said - it was a fish.

At this moment, Henie spoke:

"You're saying that if I make an offering, I can receive the Ocean's Blessing from the ocean's incarnation, right?"

Hearing Henie's question, Little Fish's excitement made its tail flutter nervously, its big eyes blinking non-stop.

"Yes, yes!"

It truly liked the human girl before it. If she could live in the ocean like itself, that would be the best thing possible.

However, in the next second, it was wrong.

Henie extended one hand, invoking magic.

Below her feet, a formation array that had been drawn at some unknown time emerged from the water surface.

Complex crimson arrays appeared beneath her feet. The formation quickly lit up, and several red ropes like ghosts coiled around the water ring on Henie's forearm.

The ropes suddenly tightened, pulling the water ring in several directions.

In the next moment, the water ring that had been rotating on her arm scattered like a broken pearl necklace.

Droplets of water gradually dissipated in the air.

Little Fish watched Henie's actions, momentarily at a loss.

Only when that stream of water could no longer gather on Henie's arm did it react.

The Ocean's Contract had been forcibly terminated by her.

She had rejected the ocean.

Then, Henie's loud shout broke the silence of the air:

"Mr. Leighton, please help me."

Leighton lowered his enormous body and extended a hand onto the water surface.

Henie stepped onto the giant crocodile's claw and was slowly lifted up past his head.

On top of the massive crocodile's head, her view was boundless.

From here, she could clearly see all the areas below, including all the 'Sea People' living on the ocean surface.

Henie looked down at Little Fish standing stunned on the ocean surface and gave it a friendly smile.

"Thank you for telling me all this, and I'm sorry for what happened to you."

She seemed to know what the professor needed now.

Henie removed the six star badges from her chest.

She gently opened her palm holding the six stars, letting those badges float in the high air with the wind.

The badges drifted to the top of the bubble as if being guided, hanging like six stars in the sky, sparkling brightly.

These stars corresponded to six different regions in different places.

Meanwhile, Little Fish was dumbfounded on the ocean surface, looking up at Henie in the high air.

What... what was she going to do?

Behind Henie, the sea breeze arrived silently, stirring up ripples.

Several pure white arrays quickly rotated behind her, flying like snowflakes.

These arrays overlapped with each other, countless patterns shooting out from the edges, like blooming flowers weaving between the arrays.

"Observer hidden beneath the white hole, entrust your consciousness and clarity to me,"

"If the world retreats into nothingness and confusion, the eight hundred children shall become my eyes."

Soon, the delicate array became extremely unstable, the entire formation seemed to tremble under the embrace of magical power.

However, Henie didn't stop, but instead more frequently inscribed runes into the gaps between the white arrays.

Numerous runes gathered slowly between the arrays like lively fish, like a steel needle fixed in iron bones, and the entire array began to rotate rapidly, becoming extraordinarily stable.

The six star badges released waves of magical aura with the help of the white light.

Starlight spilled from the edges of the arrays towards the ocean.

When it touched the rolling ocean, the silver stars merged with the sea.

Little Fish's massive school-of-fish body floated on the ocean surface. As it looked up at the huge white waves passing over the ocean surface, it suddenly felt a force pushing against itself, making its body involuntarily lean backward.

Little Fish looked up with wide eyes at the white stars falling from the sky and the rotating arrays in the sky, speechless with shock.

You still say you're not a council member!?

Such complex arrays - it was unimaginable that this was the work of a second-tier mage.

What level of magical understanding would one need to construct such a scene?

The six stars seemed to transform into six noble starlight lamps. The stellar radiance spread throughout the entire city like awakened spirits until it completely covered the sky above Sea City.

Countless Sea People transformed into water streams, emerging through the ocean surface.

They raised their heads, gazing at the falling white star points and the six brilliant stars suspended in the sky.

It was as if they saw the stars in the sky calling to them.

"Offering... offering..."

They repeated the word 'offering' over and over in their mouths, as if trying to escape their bonds.

They spread their arms toward the six star points, trying to fully embrace this ocean.

All the Sea People in the Upper City seemed to be summoned and controlled.

Even the Sea People around Little Fish couldn't avoid it - they too spread their arms and began praying to the stars.

Offering, offering.

Little Fish watched all this, completely confused and even somewhat panicked.

At this moment, it seemed to understand something.

That human girl...

Was she trying to use all the Sea People in the Upper City as living sacrifices to offer to the ocean!?

The Upper City had at least 100,000 people.

This meant that.

That girl standing on top of the giant crocodile.

Had disregarded 100,000 lives.

Just to achieve her own purpose.

Little Fish looked up at her, its voice trembling:

"Witch... witch..."

"You are the real witch..."

Hundreds of thousands of people crowded densely above the ocean, feeling strange frequencies coming from the ocean below.

The arrays flowed like musical notes, white stars fell from high in the sky and merged into every Sea Person's body.

Like emptying water bottles, countless Sea People's bodies were released.

At this point, they transformed into clear water, flowing in the air.

The 100,000 people who had transformed into streams began gathering into waves in the sky.

Those waves gathered more and more densely, finally changing from chaotic streams into huge tsunamis.

The surging waves formed by 100,000 Sea People rolled up from all directions of the city simultaneously, crashing violently toward the center of Sea City.

Viktor, floating near the White Mist in the sky, witnessed all of this happening.

A look of approval flashed in his eyes.

Henie's performance hadn't disappointed him.

"Vega."

With his words, the blue water drop ornament on Vega's head flickered with mysterious light.

In the surging waves, countless Sea People's souls were extracted, seemingly drawn by an invisible suction into that string of blue beads.

The more souls the water drop absorbed, the deeper its blue became, and the brighter its radiance grew.

"How could we let Dozale enjoy such good things?"

Although their souls had been extracted, the huge waves still crashed violently toward the White Mist.

Blue ocean waves covered the dense White Mist, raging and moving.

The rising water vapor and rolling waves twisted together, squeezing each other, neither yielding.

When the waves completely pressed down, the entire mist area rippled with pearl-like vortices that completely burst apart.

The huge waves transformed into towering water columns, surging upward against gravity, climbing to the sky.

The bubble above Sea City shattered under the impact of the giant water columns.

The White Mist rapidly spread toward the sky and surroundings, as if to envelop everything.

Little Fish stared with wide eyes.

"Sea City... was destroyed!?"

Then even it merged into the White Mist and disappeared.

Endless White Mist rapidly spread across the ocean surface, seemingly enveloping the entire ocean completely.

Countless fishermen piloting their newly departed fishing boats faced the White Mist with worried expressions.

It seemed they wouldn't be able to fish today.

On a large ship, the captain walked into the cabin and apologetically said to the two cabin passengers behind him:

"I think I need to apologize to you, Duke. We cannot continue toward the deep sea today."

"The fog is too thick - we might lose our direction."

The two passengers had the same golden hair and noble attire - one could tell at a glance they weren't ordinary people.

At this time, the man addressed as Duke spoke first:

"It's fine."

"Just anchor the ship nearby."

He turned his head to look at Erica:

"My dear, haven't you always been puzzled by Viktor's strength?"

Erica blinked, not understanding, but heard her father continue:

"To be honest, I'm quite puzzled by it too."

"So..."

Woo—

Before he could finish speaking, a deep whale cry suddenly rang out from the ocean surface, bursting forth from the thick White Mist.

The sound was deafening, filling those who heard it with fear.

Erica heard it more clearly, and even in her heart, a voice arose.

As if she understood the meaning conveyed by this whale cry:

"Father... the White Mist... is speaking?"

Levi gave Erica an understanding look, then straightened up and gazed toward the White Mist.

As if accompanying its appearance, torrential rain now came pouring down.

The rain fell plop-plop into the ocean and onto the ship's deck, producing muffled echoing sounds.

At this time, the sailors on the ship pointed to the sky in terror, shouting:

"What... what is that thing!!!"

Between the White Mist, they vaguely saw a huge figure floating in the air.

It seemed to be a giant whale, floating in the White Mist, slowly twisting its massive droplet-shaped body.

The towering black silhouette stirred up waves of fear.

Levi stared at the huge shadow in the White Mist, as if seeing through that hazy blue, yet in the next second it vanished into the thick white, completely hidden.

Looking at the enormous creature that had appeared before them, his eyes flickered with intrigue.

Continuing his previous words, he said:

"Let's watch."

"The spectacular performance brought to us by the most powerful mage council member."

As soon as his words fell, another deep whale cry transmitted from the deep White Mist, like a giant drum being burst open, erupting with profound echoes.

Woo—

The thick White Mist carrying torrential rain continuously stirred up frenzied ocean waves.

The towering massive body flipped over in the depths and plunged toward the vast deep sea.

Ocean waves surged up, a bright gaze like a clear lamp pierced through the White Mist, through the darkness.

Shining upon everyone's fearful hearts.
