Before Hai Wuliang could react, several 'springs' had already been inserted into his chest. With each contraction and expansion of the springs, he could clearly feel the blood in his body being absorbed by them, and his body rapidly weakened.

"Gurgle—"

Blood flowed into Roanna's body along the springs, and after receiving the nutrients, Roanna's body began to split into springs even more rapidly.

"Bang bang bang—"

Until the person in Hai Wuliang's arms completely disintegrated and turned into a dense mass of 'springs', connecting Hai Wuliang's limbs and bones.

"No!"

"No----"

As Roanna disappeared, the entire Springer Spall began to vibrate and contract rapidly!

"Bang bang bang—"

The familiar sound of springs contracting was still there, but this time the hull and the captain's cabin were contracting together, the ship's planks and walls twisting irregularly and wrinkling into ring shapes.

In the end, the originally normal hull had twisted underwater into a giant spring.

Yes!

【spring】!

A black spring, several tens of centimeters thick and with nearly a hundred spirals, floats on the seabed, inflating and contracting.

It has no captain's cabin, and even the center of the entire spring is hollow.

Can...

At the center of this being was Hai Wuliang, whose entire body was filled with 'springs'. The springs around Hai Wuliang were connected to the enormous 'springs', as if constantly providing nourishment to the hull.

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

The moment the giant 'spring' appeared, the entire seawater space trembled rhythmically.

With a loud "boom," a rock struck the "spring," which merely trembled and rebounded with a "hum." The rock, however, bounced back at an even faster and more terrifying speed, smashing a hole in the cracked wall!

"That..."

"What is that?"

"Is that still a boat?!"

Outside the deep pit beneath the sea, 'Boundless Sea' looked at the strange, enormous 'spring' and was filled with fear.

"【The Eye of Foresight】!"

"【The Eye of Foresight】!!!"

Hastily activating its [Talent], 'Boundless Ocean' had no idea how to deal with this thing and could only hope to see the future and react in advance.

Can...

He saw it!

He saw that he had only collided with that 'giant spring', just that one collision, and he and the 'Spring' were instantly pulverized into dust!

"What the hell?!"

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

"Put-put-put—"

'Boundless Sea' panicked. He even disobeyed the orders of [Heavenly Creation], turned the ship around, and was about to leave in another direction!

"Boom - boom - boom -"

but!

The ship on the seabed, the "Spring," clearly didn't want to give "Boundless Sea" a chance.

It had no propeller, no sail, and not even a navigator; it was just a huge spring that stretched out, creating a wave underwater before crashing against the wall with a loud boom!

immediately!

After a loud "DUANG" sound, the ground shook, and the spring bounced rapidly against the underwater wall. With a "whoosh," it flew out from under the crack and shot straight at the "Spring"!

"hateful!"

"Is the future truly unchangeable?!"

"[Bounce Back]!!!"

The opponent's jumping speed was extremely fast, and 'Spring' had no way to avoid it.

Hastily activating all the springs on the ship and pre-emptively contracting and taut, 'Boundless Sea' thought that even if it couldn't crash through those strange 'springs,' at least the 'rebound' could dissipate the force, right?

However...

"Duang—"

After the massive 'spring' struck the hull, the 'Spring' trembled violently, and as the entire ship shook rapidly, countless springs on the hull snapped back, beginning to release the force of the massive spring...

This is the moment!

A bizarre scene unfolded!

"Duang—"

The original impact force, after passing through the 'Spring', was returned intact to the giant spring. After absorbing this force, the giant spring, its entire body taut and contracted, then rebounded, deflecting the force back onto the 'Spring'!

"Click-click-click—"

"Click-click-click—"

When the force returned, it seemed to have grown several times larger out of thin air. Before the 'Spring' could even bounce back, after waves of shock rippled around the hull, the cabins and gunwales rapidly cracked and exploded!

"Snap!"

Until the force of the turbulence reached the center of the ship, the entire 'Spring' was covered in spiderweb-like cracks and instantly split in two! The dark figure of 'Sea Boundless' emitted wisps of smoke as it poked its head out from the cracked hull, looking out of the ship in disbelief.

"you..."

"You...you can return double the original power to your opponent?!"

"You...your power is completely illogical...you...you used power you wouldn't dare use to win against me...you...you don't deserve to be her 'Navigator'..."

"Buzz buzz buzz—"

Under the strange circular vibration force, both the 'Spring' and the replicated 'Boundless Sea' turned into wisps of black mist and dissipated.

"Bang bang bang—"

Within the seawater, the enormous [spring] slowly undulated, then suddenly looked towards the distant [Third Region]. Hai Wuliang, suspended inside the [spring], shed a tear, and surprisingly uttered the voice of Roanna.

"I..."

"I want to be number one!"

"This time... I'm going to lead you to first place!!!"

"Buzz—"

As the giant spring undulates, a data panel appears.
