Chapter 221 Monsters! The sea is full of monsters!
In the ancient palace.
On the golden throne, Zeus slowly raised his head. He was stunned for a moment before realizing what had happened.
"I, I'm back?"
"ah?"
Xius scratched his head. This situation was really strange. He took a few deep breaths and tried to analyze the situation.
"My return this time is somewhat strange. In the past, apart from my own initiative, the only way I could return was if my body died."
"Well, returning after death is very normal. I never doubted it at first, but later I found that a dead body can also come back again, which shows that 'death' itself is not necessarily a necessary condition for returning."
"What happened before this return?"
Wake up from the shelf, look for clues in the house, sneak onto the deck, check the figurehead and then it's gone.
Wait, Zeus suddenly frowned. After looking at the figurehead, he did another thing.
At that time he breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously looked around, and found that he was on the sea, not in the port.
Is this unique? I just looked at the sea. Is this the reason why I had to return? "No, it's not just this time. I seem to have been forced to return to the Golden Throne once before." Zeus narrowed his eyes. He remembered.
He had previously arrived at the scene of Chloe's ceremony to summon the evil god. After talking with Chloe for a while, Chloe determined that he was an outer god and did something to him, so he was forced to return.
What did she do?
It seemed to make himself gradually sleepy, and then he returned without knowing why.
Well, if I think about it this way, if the reason for passive return is not death, then could it be that the body has lost consciousness?
No, he also fell into a coma after signing the symbiotic contract with Ash, but he did not return directly. When he woke up again, he thought he had returned to the palace.
It should be some similar situation, such as losing control of the body?
Zeus felt that he was close to the truth. This kind of loss of control should be a very serious situation that is difficult to resolve voluntarily. If it was a coma that could be resolved voluntarily after a short period of time, he would not be forced to return.
If that were true, he would not be able to descend into the body of the worker Hughes again now!
Hughes felt his heart pounding. He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and turned to look at the body of the worker Hughes.
The worker, Hughes, stood still like a puppet and did not look him in the eye.
It's true! A hint of excitement flashed in Hughes' eyes, and he remembered something else. He still had a body of a white-robed priest, which was exactly the same as the worker Hughes' current state! He immediately shifted his gaze and looked at the white-robed priest. Sure enough, the body was motionless.
"I see, I see." Hughes said to himself, smiling. "This body is also in a controlled state. Perhaps it is just like the worker Hughes, and saw something it shouldn't have seen."
What's in the deep sea? Hughes doesn't know, but he's sure there's something strange.
In Castel, the deep sea was full of pollution and monsters. Even the powerful Banshee was forced to go ashore. But on the Black Pearl, it was so peaceful. This was wrong! The Black Pearl was in the Ocean of Storms. According to Zeus's calculations at the time, with the speed of the pollution snake, the entire Ocean of Storms should be full of monsters. It didn't make sense for the Black Pearl to be so peaceful.
Could it possibly run to the Lightless Sea? Zeus immediately turned his head to look at the body of Lord Zeus, and soon he raised his head from the long table in the cathedral.
Something strange happened in the sea. This is a very important clue. Next, he can ask, "My Lord? Is my Lord here?"
Nini's hurried voice suddenly rang out in the mind link.
Xius' heart tightened and he quickly replied.
"What's wrong?"
"Great, Lord, we have been trying to contact you for a long time, and we thought something happened to you!"
"Also? Did something happen?"
Nini's voice paused for a moment, and when it sounded again, her voice was a little trembling.
"My Lord, the monitoring post on the coast just reported to us that the sea suddenly rolled over, and fishmen and sea urchin monsters were pouring out of it!"
Hughes stood up. It was the sea again! He had just lost control of the sea when he looked at it on the Black Pearl. When he came back, the sea had changed again. It was hard not to connect the two things together.
What happened in the ocean? "Where is it?"
『.』
"Nini? What's wrong?"
"Everywhere."
Hughes swallowed.

"All our observation posts have sounded the alarm. Enemies are pouring out along the entire coastline. The number is too numerous to count. They are like a rising tide. We are surrounded."
Xius' pupils shrank instantly.
Jeremiah stood at the bow with a gloomy face, staring into the distance motionlessly.
He has been standing here all night.
Ken and the sailors also looked haggard, with dark circles under their eyes. They had been busy all night, searching for the bodies that fell into the sea and trying to salvage them, but in the end they found nothing.
The corpse mysteriously jumped into the sea and then sank.
After a night of hard work, Jeremiah ordered the ship to turn around and return to Blood Harbor. The sailors breathed a sigh of relief, but only Ken knew that Jeremiah had not given up and he would never give up.
His guess was correct. Jeremiah was going to the port to get some iron cages, trawl nets and other things for salvaging and then come back for salvage.
Finding a needle in a haystack is just a legend, but Jeremiah is somewhat sure. He roughly knows where the strange corpse fell, which is near the original volcano of Castel.
He had read Ken's records when he was casting lines to the seabed before. The original location of Castel was not an ordinary seabed, but a whole flat seabed. The depth there was not deep, so there was really a possibility of salvaging it.
No, it’s not possible, it’s definitely possible to fish it out, definitely!!
Jeremiah gnashed his teeth, his face grim, like a drowning man trying to grasp the last straw.
Soon, the Black Pearl approached Blood Harbor. Jeremiah hurriedly directed the sailors to lower the small boat to the harbor, which could be used to transport the cage later.
He paid no attention to the sailors' pointing and puzzled expressions below.
At the dock, many people were gathered by the sea, discussing something in low voices with nervous looks on their faces. Even a few tax officials came over.
Jeremiah was in no mood to waste time talking to these people. He squeezed his way through the crowd and prepared to leave the port.
But as he was walking through the crowd, a sentence that floated into his ears made him stop.
"Why is the sea water so low? It's like it's leaking away."
