Xu Shi knew very well that someone like Cheng Gujian, who could achieve what he had today as the all-powerful Grand Duke of the Empire, could not have relied solely on the legacy of his family; he must have possessed exceptional strength himself.

After all, the Hualan Empire mainly focuses on the "Rust Fog" itself, unlike the City of Night Sin which can make up for it with machinery. If they weren't skilled enough, they would have died eight hundred times over. To use their iron-fisted methods, they also need strong military support.

So he had been trying to learn about the other party's abilities through various channels for a long time, because knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory... but unfortunately the results weren't very good.

Most people can only dream of meeting Cheng Gujian, such as the people of Silver Pine Island who are familiar with him, let alone have any understanding of him. Even if they have actually seen him make a move, they sometimes find it difficult to explain the specifics.

This is actually similar to Xu Shi himself. To be honest, if he didn't say it, many people, let alone witness it firsthand, or even if they had the seed planted by him, might not know exactly what his special ability is. Ascension ability is such a mysterious thing.

Unfortunately, the amount of original material I have in my mind is no longer enough... so Xu Shi has always been highly sensitive to this and has never let his guard down.

Now, I finally have the opportunity to meet him.

Then they saw Cheng Gujian holding a long spear, walking through the air as if on flat ground, and in no time he flashed in front of the Sea God.

Before the immense sea god, everyone was as insignificant as dust, and in comparison, the exquisite spear landing on it was no different from a mosquito bite.

But even such a mosquito bite, upon contact, ripples out with an eerie sensation.

Zheng—

The next second, its tentacle visibly withered, turning as dry as firewood in no time and turning a lifeless gray.

"!!!!!"

Poseidon convulsed violently, clearly suffering immense pain. It was evident that the pain caused by this move was far more than just simple physical discomfort.

Cheng Gujian, however, was relentless. With a blank expression, he flicked the tip of his spear and easily sliced ​​the tentacle off the sea god's body.

Without the explosive roar of Xia Wuyou's explosion, the withered tentacles in mid-air gradually fell off like flying catkins, turning into dust. The sea breeze swept by, and they vanished without a trace in an instant.

"This is?"

Not only Xu Shi, but Xie Qingyan also kept an eye on Cheng Gujian, but when he saw the other party use his ability, he was a little confused for a moment.

"It should be... an ability like destruction? Stripping? Or withering?"

Xu Shi couldn't say for sure either; even if he saw it, he couldn't draw a conclusion. But what was undeniable was that Cheng Gujian's abilities were terrifyingly excessive.

The fact that even an SS-level Poseidon could be injured so easily by him speaks volumes.

It should be noted that Xia Wuyou, who was at the S+ level, was able to sever one of the Sea God's tentacles by upgrading his power to the point of almost collapsing a black hole... The opponent's defense was quite terrifying. In any case, Miss Shen Qin's short sword was smoking but had no effect. Even the firepower attack led by Yu Xingchuan was just scratching the surface.

"Master Chen, stop scraping! Stop scraping!.avi"

However, Cheng Gujian was able to turn one of its tentacles into dust... It's at least a level SS, and conservatively speaking, it's at least S+.

really.

Xu Shi wasn't surprised. He would have been surprised if the other party was a weakling. After all, the other party was one of the potential bosses in the Hualan Empire's experimental field. How could he be so weak?

Thinking about it this way is quite interesting. If I hadn't interfered, it's highly likely that Luo Yu would be fighting him in the future, right? A battle of devouring and destruction... Wow.

"...Your Excellency is truly mighty!"

Regardless, such a scene was indeed very morale-boosting. A moment later, on the royal fleet, led by the knight commander surnamed Chen, a deafening shout erupted.

Either he's a knight commander, or he's not only incredibly capable, but his ability to handle things is also top-notch... Xu Shi muttered to himself, but he also felt that Cheng Gujian's actions deserved such a cheer.

The atmosphere in the room was actually quite eerie. The sea god itself was silent; it seemed to lack a vocal system. Come to think of it, most sea creatures are not like cats and dogs on land, remaining quiet most of the time. This was a flaw that it could not make up for no matter how many it devoured.

Whether it was their own side or the royal family's side, the sounds of everyone's attacks were greatly reduced in front of the sea god's enormous body, even seeming somewhat unreal, leaving only the echoes of the sea and the sea breeze, and the occasional splashes of water.

There's a kind of serene beauty to it. If I really wanted to create the atmosphere of a boss battle, I could only rely on my imagination to fill in the background music.

What about the Vatican?

The Vatican is on the defensive.

It seems I can't take all the credit... Xu Shi clicked his tongue. This is not what he expected. After all, according to his original plan, the more he contributed to the conquest of the Sea God, the more beneficial it would be for his subsequent plans.

However, this was within his expectations—the Sea God was no easy opponent; at least the strength he had displayed was among the strongest he had ever seen so far.

In other words, the other party is a beast, not a human, with an underdeveloped brain and a completely underdeveloped cerebellum. Otherwise, if we compare it to the old man Wen during the previous riots, it would probably be much more difficult than it is now, and it might even be a futile effort.

After all, it's SS level. In fact, starting from A level, there's a significant difference between each level and the previous ones. The stronger the ability, the greater the difference becomes.
