When Murdoch created a deity called the "Lord of the Ocean and Storms".
This is the true source of Murdoch's power.
And it existed as a "miracle" witnessed by people during the famine on the sacrificial island.
The mermaid flesh he obtained from the giant whale's carcass actually transformed into something akin to the incarnation of the Lord of the Ocean and Storms.
This is evidence that the gods truly exist, not fabricated, and it is also the place of faith for those who have become believers.
Because compared to the vague and ethereal nature of Murdoch's words, which have no concrete basis, there is nothing more to say.
This piece of meat, said to be a gift from the gods, truly possesses magical properties.
That is why people believed Murdoch's words and were willing to offer their faith in the "Lord of the Ocean and Storms".
Therefore, when the people on the sacrificial island entrusted their spirit, beliefs, will, and faith to the flesh of the mermaid.
This piece of mermaid flesh, which may be part of the "remains" of an Atlantean, has indeed undergone some kind of change.
Faith is pollution.
Although it seems somewhat different from the conventional understanding—
It is not the gaze of the gods that makes believers fanatical and causes some kind of spiritual mutation in them.
Instead, believers, who should have been the passive recipients, actively "contaminated" the "god" they believed in.
Therefore, the people on the sacrificial island projected their faith onto the flesh of the mermaid, who was the embodiment of the Lord of the Ocean and Storms.
This piece of mermaid flesh did indeed generate some kind of power.
This power is certainly not enough to directly deify it.
Yet, this piece of mermaid flesh also served as a vessel, bearing much of the authority and power that the Lord of the Ocean and Storms should have possessed.
Although it was somewhat different from his imagined direct transformation into a god.
Because when it merges with this mermaid flesh, using it as a new place to give birth to new life.
Murdoch then realized—
In this so-called process of creating gods by humans.
To truly become a being of such high status as a god, he seemed to be lacking something important.
Murdoch had absolutely no idea what this important thing was.
He only knew that the true god truly possessed the concept of immortality.
He still appears to be a mortal being, only one who has gained some special abilities.
Fortunately, after Murdoch merged with this piece of mermaid flesh...
He also gained the ability to control seawater and life energy.
He, as a believer, "bestowed" power upon the "god" he worshipped.
Because it is a "deity" conceived and created by oneself.
Therefore, the authority and power that he possesses are naturally "granted" by Murdoch himself.
Therefore, even if the original plan was only partially successful.
But Murdoch still felt excited and trembling because he had "created the existence of a god with his own hands".
After that, what he wanted to plan was the island that suddenly appeared on the sea.
The last treasure left behind by Atlantis, which he discovered through his exploration.
Therefore, when he saw that Gu Xinghe was an unexpected variable in his originally perfect design, he was shocked.
Murdoch was extremely surprised and astonished.
But in the beginning, he didn't actually have any intention of being an enemy of Gu Xinghe.
Initially, Murdoch found himself unable to even perceive Gu Xinghe's presence.
Until Gu Xinghe and Alice had some interaction and conversation.
Murdoch indirectly noticed and observed Gu Xinghe's existence because he had focused all his attention on Alice.
However, after realizing Gu Xinghe's presence.
This is completely different from the "ordinary" and "low-profile" impression the other party initially gave them.
After being able to observe Gu Xinghe's existence.
The moment Murdoch looked at Gu Xinghe, he felt a strange dizziness.
This dizziness was somewhat like the fact that he hadn't been able to perceive Gu Xinghe's presence before.
In fact, it was because Gu Xinghe himself had exerted a certain influence on his mind and caused a kind of corrosive pollution.
Originally, before Murdoch discovered Gu Xinghe's existence, he was also unaware of this spiritual influence and pollution.
But after realizing the other party's presence.
This originally invisible influence and pollution quickly materialized, instantly "pouring down" on his spirit.
So, in that instant, Murdoch's initial excitement about the imminent discovery of the "treasure" suddenly turned into a state of alertness.
Murdoch realized—even in this place where the last treasures of Atlantis were buried.
Even though he was a "candidate" who might be able to obtain this treasure.
Someone like Gu Xinghe wanted to easily manipulate Murdoch in this space that seemed to be full of rejection and exclusion towards him.
It's not a very difficult thing.
Therefore, upon realizing this...
Especially when it was discovered that Alice, another candidate who could obtain the "treasure," also had an extremely close relationship with Gu Xinghe.
Murdoch had already quickly chosen to describe his design in his mind to buy time.
As the island sank back into the deep sea, those bubble spaces appeared.
He quickly touched one of the bubbles and hid in one of the assessment spaces inside.
Because Murdoch realized—
