Chapter 240: The Sinking of Castel
The eye of the storm, the bottomless abyss, is the center of the Ocean of Storms. A huge hole lies across the seabed. Any ship that approaches will be sucked in. No creature that enters the eye of the storm has ever returned.
And that is also the center of the storm. Storms in the entire ocean all originate from there, then gather more and more on the sea and sweep across the entire sea area.
This is how the Ocean of Storms got its name.
Jeremiah and Ken looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. The sea was drying up day by day, and the original seabed was even gradually exposed. Could this have something to do with the eye of the storm? The island was dug away, leaving a hole, and the sea was gradually drying up. The two swallowed their saliva together, and an absurd idea emerged in their minds.
Could it be that the seawater "leaked" from the empty hole? If it really leaked, where would it leak to? French Fries: "Ms. Scepter, the current situation is indeed very similar to what you said, but why didn't the change of that year happen again, but Castel traveled to the past?"
The Scepter was silent for a while before she spoke slowly. Her voice was rarely hesitant: "Actually, this is what the Church of Poseidon said. Of course, they are now a group of cultists and cannot be trusted, but..."
Scepter: "They seem to be planning to revive Poseidon, but the evil god cannot be resurrected, so they want to accumulate strength and go back to the past to help Poseidon before he died."
Sitting on the bottom of the sea, Zeus was shocked. Did he really travel through time again? French Fries: "Can I go back to the past? !"
Scepter: "Of course it's impossible. Time is a more stable existence than reality. No extraordinary power can touch its power. Everyone treats it as a joke. Even cultists who are not crazy enough can't think of such a thing."
Ken and Jeremiah were so shocked by this incident that they were speechless. They suddenly felt that it didn't matter whether the secret was contaminated or not. The shock of these news made them feel like they were going crazy.
Zeus, on the other hand, calmed down. He had the ability to descend and knew more than those people in the link. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be the only one who could travel between the two worlds. From what he observed, the flow of time on both sides was the same.
It was outrageous that his ability could travel through space and directly descend, but could he travel through time? That would mess up everything.
He was more inclined to believe that the cultists of the Church of Poseidon did not actually succeed, but accidentally pulled the entire Martha Islands into another dimension, and Castel was also implicated because he was too close.
The silk thread connecting the several people gradually showed signs of instability. Xiusi felt it in his heart and knew that this should be the limit of his ability.
This body became much more powerful after coming to the sea, but it seems today that it still has its limits.
Xius decisively cut off the link and chose to return.
He had so many things he wanted to verify.
As he left, the body of the worker Zeus gradually fell lifelessly to the bottom of the sea like a puppet.
After an unknown amount of time, a black shadow suddenly swam out from the dark sea and approached the body with some curiosity.
As soon as Hughes opened his eyes from the chair, he jumped up immediately. Without a moment's delay, he rushed out of the house and headed for the eastern test site.
"Nini, are you there?"
"I'm here, what's the matter?"
"Has Chloe been exploring the sky again recently?"
"Ah! I don't know. If she goes secretly, there's nothing I can do."
"I'm not blaming you - are you free now? I need to take off and explore immediately!"
".Did something happen?"
Nini's voice also became serious. She immediately put down the work in her hands and rushed to the test flight field.
"Yes, I remembered something very important. I need to go explore the island immediately!"
"Didn't Chloe go there before?"
Xiu Si took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anxiety in his heart: "I am not going to observe the island this time. I need to observe the coastline. I need to know if the sea level has risen!"
"! ! ! "
Although the newly built airship has not been completed yet, Chloe has not destroyed the previous airship.
The engineers were adding machine gun mounts to the airship according to Hughes's drawings, but there was no time to spare, and soon, Chloe and Nini took off together.
Nini is necessary. She can communicate directly with Zeus through mental link, and she is also needed in the sky to control the Noisy Ones - extraordinary people like Chloe cannot get too close to pollution, even through a jar.
In this regard, extraordinary people are not as good as ordinary people. At least ordinary people can be exposed to physical pollution as long as they take isolation measures.
Chloe was also surprised to hear this request, but she didn't waste time and nodded and entered the airship.
Xius originally wanted to follow, but was dissuaded by the others. After thinking about it, he was just a mortal body. If the airship really crashed, Chloe and Nini would have a chance to survive, but he would be dead.

No need.
The airship quickly took off, and Chloe used her extraordinary abilities to carefully examine everything on the ground from a third-person perspective.
After a while, Nini's trembling voice came through the mental link.
"Sea levels are rising."
"The original pier has been completely submerged, and now the sea level has risen to the residential area!"
At this moment, all the banshees on the island stopped what they were doing, and there was silence in the mental connection.
Xius's heart also completely sank.
He had a bad feeling when he heard Jeremiah and Ken talk about the "dry sea", and then Beatrice's mention of the hollow eye of the storm gave him extremely bad associations.
Yes, not only Jeremiah and Ken thought of this, but Hughes also guessed it. Moreover, he was on the island. Thinking of the increasing number of monsters on the island, which were getting smarter and smarter, he had a guess: the dried-up seawater flowed here through the bottomless abyss of the eye of the storm! Flowed to Castel!!
As an island, Castel is not a flat structure. The volcano in the south is the highest peak. The middle of the island is high and the surrounding areas are low. The dock area in the north is the lowest place. Therefore, Xiu Si asked Nini and Chloe to go and check it first.
Sure enough, he guessed right.
Hughes' pupils trembled.
As the sea level rises, Castel will eventually sink. He originally wanted to cultivate the land and upgrade technology bit by bit, wait for the production capacity to increase and then defeat the monsters in the sea in one wave. But now it seems nothing but wishful thinking.
The seawater is rising faster than his technology development. He doesn't have much time left. He must solve all this before Castel sinks! Time is not on his side! (End of this chapter)
