Chapter 13: Banshee

Hughes' throat moved, but he couldn't utter a word to refute.

It was indeed a coincidence, just as Ash said, everything fit right.

And why should he refute it? He was not actively deceiving. Perhaps the prophecy was true and he really was the god of this ethnic group.

His territory is still threatened by pirates, but with these foreign races worshipping him as a god, pirates don't seem to be a big problem anymore, right?

Hughes was a little shaken.

Before he could think about it, Ash's voice sounded again from the side.

"Let's continue to dive, complete our transformation, fulfill our mission, and not let down the sacrifices made by our people."

The cursed nodded and dived into the depths together. From time to time, someone turned around and secretly looked at Hughes, their eyes full of enthusiasm and expectation.

This made Xius feel uneasy.

"My, my hand!!"

Suddenly there was a cry of surprise, and the tribesmen turned around and saw that one of them was raising one of its limbs - perhaps it could really be called a hand now.

Although the limb was still swollen, some muscle lines could be vaguely seen, and it was indeed an arm.

The tribesman stared at his arm in a daze, and touched it gently and carefully, as if it was something extremely precious.

The tribesmen looked at the limb, which was no longer swollen, in fascination, as if they had seen a treasure. They were quiet and yearning, approaching it cautiously but not daring to touch it.

"Sure enough, sure enough! The prophecy is true, the gods are with us!"

"Let's continue diving, this sad curse will soon be far away from us." Ash paused and said, "No, this is not a curse, this is a change in water pressure, this is a test given to us by God!"

After saying that, it dived down quickly, and the other swollen monsters also sped up.

Hughes had no choice but to follow.

After diving madly all the way down, Zeus could no longer see the entrance to the abyss. Fortunately, the symbiotic contract allowed him to see without light.

As the speed increased, warm sea water began to flow quickly around the body, and white bubbles were left behind like ribbons. The cursed people cheered and rushed deeper into the abyss.

Zeus subconsciously covered his face with his hands. When he moved his hands away, the water flow gradually slowed down and the cursed creatures around him stopped. Zeus looked at the creatures around him with his eyes wide open.

Their swollen and ugly skin slowly shrank back, turning into smooth bodies like statues, and the limbs that were twisted by swelling gradually revealed their original appearance.

Soon, in front of Zeus' shocked gaze, they revealed their original appearance.

Their upper bodies look like human females, but they have three pairs of arms, and their lower bodies are snake tails. When they were hunched and swollen, they were about the same size as humans, but now that their original appearance has been revealed, they are a head taller than Zeus when they stand up.

"Humans, mermaids!?" Zeus opened his mouth wide. He originally thought that these swollen monsters would be just walruses or other creatures when they turned back to their original form. He never expected that they would be a group of mermaids.

No, they were not the mermaids in the legend of the previous life. Zeus calmed down a little. Although they also had beautiful faces, they did not have fish tails, and the number of arms did not match.

"What is a mermaid?"

A strange face came closer, and Zeus subconsciously took a step back, then he felt the familiar feeling coming from the symbiotic contract.

Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Xius murmured in disbelief: "You are Ash?"

She waved her snake tail and looked at Xiu Si with some confusion.

For the first time, Zeus took a serious look at the "swollen monster" with whom he had signed a contract.

Her tail is long and has beautiful light grey scales with a metallic sheen, her six arms are slender and strong, her face is resolute, her long hair and eyebrows are silvery white, gently undulating in the sea water, like sparkling gems in the sun.

There is a strange beauty.

If you ignore the fact that she is a lot taller than me, she should be called a beauty. Well, half a beauty.

Zeus didn't have the energy to judge the appearance of his symbiote. He turned his head and looked around. Although the specific appearance and scale color were different, they all looked basically the same.

Zeus calmed himself down, looked at Ash who was still waiting for a reply, and said slowly: "Mermaids are a kind of beautiful creatures in fantasy, a bit like you. When I saw your appearance just now, I subconsciously thought you were mermaids, but if you look closely, there is still a difference." Zeus glanced at their snake tails and felt that this shape was more like the Naga in the legend of the previous life.

At this point, Hughes asked curiously, "What is the name of your tribe? We can't always call you the Cursed, right?"

In fact, he had been calling it a bloat monster, Hughes thought to himself, his eyes running over Ash's slender figure, which was not swollen at all.

"Banshee." She said slowly, her tone sounding both condolence and remembrance.

"We are the Banshees, the Banshees of the Seven Seas." She suddenly raised her voice. The surrounding Banshees looked over. Ash stood up straight and said to the people around her, "My people, the prophecy of the past has come true. The new gods have led us to complete the transformation and get rid of the curse. We are no longer the pathetic cursed, but the Banshees who roam freely at the bottom of the seven seas!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The banshees slowly gathered together. They had been enslaved for so long that they had almost forgotten the taste of freedom. Getting rid of the curse was like a new life for them.

Ash's tone gradually rose.

"We once lost our gods, our homes, and everything. When we had nothing left, a new god came here to guide us to break the curse and head for the promised land. My fellow tribesmen, let us be loyal to the new god!!!"

The banshees' eyes lit up and they looked at Zeus fanatically. Ash twisted his tail and swam slowly in front of him.

Zeus raised his head and looked up at Ash. It was the first time he realized that his contractor was so tall.

Ash lowered his eyes, then crossed his three pairs of arms over his chest, slid his tail backwards, and leaned forward with his tall body, kneeling in front of Zeus.

"My Lord, you saved us. The Banshee is willing to offer her loyalty to you. Please tell me your name, and the Banshee will let your name resound throughout the seven seas!"

The thick, long, silver-white hair danced in the sea water, and Zeus suddenly seemed to be standing in a silver river.

He turned his head and looked in all directions. The banshees were prostrating themselves one after another. The fanatical and pious atmosphere was like a passionate war song, which made his heart pound and his throat dry.

Zeus knew that as long as he stated his name here, or even just with his tacit consent, he would become the god of these banshees and could control this group at will.

He didn't need to do anything, just an ambiguous attitude was enough, and these banshees would fill in the whole story themselves, and he had done nothing wrong.

Furthermore, his appearance was completely consistent with the prophecy. Was he really not a god? Perhaps the golden throne was his kingdom of God, and these bodies were just his playthings when he came to the mortal world.

There is no harm in it. Look at these banshees. They are also looking forward to the appearance of a new god, which is also helping them.

My heart is pounding, my will is wavering, and my reason is like a candle in the wind.

Hughes clenched his teeth.
