Chapter 113 The Truth in the Sea

The Abyss - Zeus was naturally familiar with it. He had once gone deep into the Abyss with the Banshees, and the Banshees finally escaped from the Abyss.

As for his impression of the Abyss, Zeus felt that there seemed to be nothing special about it and it was not much different from other places in the deep sea.

Dark, warm, and empty.

The sea that is full of vitality as most people remember it can only be seen in the shallow sea. The deep sea looks completely different.

The banshees didn't think there was any big problem at the time, so they stopped in the abyss to build their home. If they had discovered the danger at that time, they might have been more cautious, and Monica wouldn't have happened.

"What is in the Abyss? Why is pollution pouring out?"

"Poseidon Temple - don't ask me what it is. The ancient books only record its name. I know as much as you do: there is a Poseidon Temple in the Abyss. That's all."

“.”

"In short, pollution began to surge out of the Abyss, and the ocean gradually became a huge source of pollution. All creatures living in the ocean died, and only a few extraordinary creatures remained, but they were also twisted into monsters by the pollution."

"Wait, all the creatures in the sea are dead? Are you kidding me? What are those fish caught on the dock?"

"pollute."

Zeus' pupils shrank instantly. Are all the fish in the sea polluted?!

Wait, that’s impossible, that’s impossible. It’s not like he hasn’t eaten fish before, how could he not know whether it’s contaminated?

He even sent people to check the fish caught by the fishermen, and found no pollution at all. Isn't pollution only present in the deep sea?

"You should note that pollution is not dead matter, it moves and is attracted."

"I know you've been accumulating some pollution on the island for a while, right?"

“You can see if they are still the same now.”

"What's the meaning?"

"No one can give an accurate answer to what pollution is, but I guess they were once living things, and then for some reason they became what they are now."

"What I'm going to say next is all my guesses. I haven't found any relevant information in ancient books, but they at least make sense."

Chloe frowned, as if recalling some bad memories: "Those fish and shrimp in the shallow sea were once polluted. In the past thousand years, they have been far away from the pollution source, so they have gradually turned back into fish and shrimp."

"I've heard from the cultists of the Church of Poseidon that there are no fish or shrimp in the deep sea. This is because the pollution in the deep sea is still having an impact and has not returned to its original state."

Xiusi felt as if a bolt of lightning had passed through his heart. The sudden shock made him freeze in place, and his previous memories came flooding back like a tide.

When he first dived into the abyss with Ash, he was also curious about why the deep sea was empty and there was nothing there.

Later I thought that the deep sea on the blue planet was the same. There was no sunlight here, there was not enough nutrition, and only a few creatures could survive.

Now I suddenly feel something is wrong. Even if there is a lack of nutrients in the deep sea, there shouldn't be no fish at all, right? So that's the reason. There is only pollution in the deep sea, no living things.

It all makes sense.

“Those fish and shrimp were transformed from pollution.”

“Yes, that’s why I don’t eat seafood.”

“Will it be contaminated if I eat it?”

"It is said that it won't happen. Some extraordinary people have tried it before, but most people still can't accept it. After all, after knowing what these things in the sea are originally, everyone will have some resistance."

Xius recalled the taste of fish and shrimp he had eaten before, and it seemed not much different from that on Blue Planet.

No wonder pollution can be burned, it turns out it is derived from biological transformation. Wait, why is this so similar to oil?

Zeus rubbed his chin. After learning about the deep-sea pollution, he put many details together and felt a little creepy.

For example, Una once said that the pollution in the sea and the pollution caused by cognitive interference gave her different feelings.

Could it be that the two types of pollution are transformed from different organisms?

For example, the pollution in the sea is fish and shrimp, and the pollution caused by cognitive interference is animals? We can study it in detail in the future.

"Go on."

"Well, where was I? Yes, the Church of Poseidon has been destroyed since the sea incident a thousand years ago, but now it has some new worshippers, mainly people living on the coast. It is said that the Pirate King's Court has a close connection with them."

"It's only in the past few decades that they have gradually established a method to gain power, which is the extraordinary system."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"You know, we extraordinary people are all climbing the stairs, but they chose the opposite direction and explored the past."

"Climb the stairs?"

"Don't interrupt. In short, they did find a stable path to transcendence, but it came at a great cost."

"I don't know how it works exactly, but they need to keep coming into contact with pollution. When they finally gain power, they will become half-crazy monsters."

"It's a real monster. There aren't many people in the Sea God Church who can maintain their human form. Most of them have undergone various mutations, growing two pairs of arms, or their legs turning into snake tails."

Chloe glanced at Hughes and said meaningfully.

"They are not from the Church of Poseidon. That is a misunderstanding." Xius was somewhat helpless. "Otherwise, I wouldn't know nothing about the Church of Poseidon, right?"

Chloe stared at Xius for a long time, and finally nodded: "Well, if I think about it carefully, it's not like that. Most of the changes of Poseidon's followers are random, not so neat."

"Because of long-term exposure to pollution, it is difficult for those cultists to maintain their sanity. They are a group of real lunatics. With a little stimulation, or even without any stimulation, they will fall into madness."

"I see. So you always thought I was one of those crazy people from the Church of Poseidon?"

"Yes, I don't even dare to say too much, for fear of irritating you."

It turned out to be a misunderstanding. No wonder his previous communication with Chloe was so confusing.

"Why do you think I'm from the Church of Poseidon? Just because of the Banshee?"

"That's part of it. After all, those six-armed women and those banshees obviously came from the sea."

Xiudao nodded. Indeed, there are indeed some mutations that are consistent with the Church of Poseidon. Is this a coincidence? "And you are also hoarding pollution on the island. This is something that only the cultists of the Church of Poseidon would do. They need to use pollution to strengthen their power."

"And you summoned the evil god."

"When did I summon the evil god!?"
