Chapter 43: One Thousand Years

Following Nora's words, the cave fell silent.

Pollution, lasting for a thousand years?

Hughes felt as if he was listening to a funny joke.

He looked around in confusion. The cave was filled with fine sunset glow, which was very beautiful.

The setting sun outside the cave gradually fell into the sea, and the last afterglow dyed the waves red. The waves beat against the rocks like a beautiful ballad.

Such songs continued for who knows how many years, as the stones were broken into pieces by the waves, their edges smoothed out and turned into fine sand.

How long is a thousand years?

Long enough for him to go through a life of hardships, then die and become a corpse, decaying into bones, and repeating this many times.

The sea has been polluted for a thousand years?

Zeus looked at the sea, and the white waves were reflected in his and the banshees' eyes.

No one spoke.

Hughes felt as if he had turned into sand, drifting with the tide. For almost endless years, he had been wandering in the sea. He saw the fish swimming in the sea, the passing ships, the shrimps and crabs on the seabed, and heard Ding! Hughes covered his ears, and then he came to his senses. He looked at Nora in the cave with some teeth sour. She had just hit the shield hard with the flail.

"You don't even know!? Don't you live in the sea? Can't you feel the endless pollution?"

The banshees looked at each other.

"No, there is almost no pollution on you. I have just completed the purification. I saw it with my own eyes, but this is not right, this is not right." Nora muttered to herself again, with a confused expression.

There was another dead silence, and the banshees' eyes were full of confusion.

"etc!"

Xiusi suddenly opened his eyes wide, and an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

The cursed one. The swollen monster, the destruction of its home, escape from slavery, water pressure, the abyss, the pollution of flesh and blood, magic. Zeus's hands began to tremble, and he had a guess, a very scary guess.

The banshees and Nora suddenly heard Hughes speak. His voice was not loud and his words were trembling:

“Is there such a possibility?”

"Before the pollution on the seabed broke out, your home was destroyed. You had to maintain your flesh and blood magic to resist the water pressure and became cursed."

"Then you were enslaved by various races and trapped in the shallow sea, causing you to have to maintain flesh and blood magic from birth. Flesh and blood magic can maintain the physical state and keep it from being polluted!"

The banshees looked at Zeus in shock.

"Then other races in the sea were gradually polluted and went crazy. Only you had to maintain your flesh and blood magic all the time due to water pressure problems, so you were never polluted!"

"The pollution comes from the deep sea. The pollution in the shallow sea is not that serious. So your condition got worse and worse after entering the Abyss. You had to escape after staying there for a few days."

As Hughes spoke, he became more and more fluent, with countless details flashing through his mind and then forming a huge puzzle.

A puzzle spanning thousands of years of history, based on the seven oceans! "The water pressure is not a curse, but it saves you, allowing you to maintain your flesh and blood magic without stopping, and become the only survivor in the polluted seven oceans!"

"So those fishmen don't dare to chase you deep into the Abyss. It's not because they are afraid of the exploding ghost ship, but because they are afraid of the pollution in the Abyss!"

"So the journey to the Abyss was extremely smooth. After a thousand years of pollution, no living creatures have gathered in the Abyss."

"And diving into the abyss and facing the pollution directly will allow you to directly understand the horror of pollution, rather than being gradually eroded in the shallow sea and becoming irreversible!"

Everything makes sense.

Hughes stood there, his face filled with shock, he never expected the truth to be like this! ?

Suddenly, he seemed to see a glimpse of the truth of this world.

Zeus suddenly realized that if he and the banshees took one wrong step, they would be doomed, but they were lucky enough to take every step correctly, as if it was fate.

The banshees' gazes towards him gradually turned into awe. This was all too coincidental and too precise.

Is he really not a god? Xiusi suddenly frowned.

Wait, that's not right. He suddenly felt something was not right, as if he had overlooked something very important, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"You, you really don't know." Nora was also shocked by the news. She looked at the banshees around her and felt that their expressions did not seem fake.

"You have actually been able to maintain the magic that isolates pollution for a thousand years? In the sea!? Without stopping for a moment!?!?"

She took a deep breath and calmed her agitated emotions, but she still found it difficult to accept the reality before her.

The pollution that lasted for a full thousand years turned all the other aliens in the sea into monsters. This is something that was written in the holy scriptures.

The priest who taught her, the priest who taught the priest, and the knowledge passed down by generations, were all certain facts and irrefutable truths in her eyes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She just felt that something that was unbreakable was smashed in front of her eyes like a fragile glass vase.

Suddenly, Nora raised her head and looked at Hughes.

Was she wrong? Was Zeus not a cult leader, he just didn't know about the thousand-year pollution, so he asked her to help with the treatment? ? Was he just asking for help?

Wait, he also crossed the sea, how could he know nothing? Know nothing. Know nothing. Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she looked up at Xiu Si, "Could it be that you are still a mortal?"

Mortal? Did she mean she had no extraordinary powers? Hughes thought that she was called the Undertaker, so she must be a certain class with extraordinary powers in the Silent Temple, right? So he nodded silently.

With a clang, the tower shield in Nora's hand slipped to the ground.

"How could this be? It turns out you are not."

"Wait." She suddenly seemed to remember something and her expression changed drastically.

“Oh no!!”

At the same time as her words, a shrill scream was heard.

Monica's body was covered with wriggling black pollution, which was like thin ropes, tightly binding her body. Monica's originally beautiful face became extremely hideous. Her limbs were twisted in opisthotonos and her joints were twisted to strange angles.

Countless pollutions squirmed and fell from her body like thousands of black worms, sticking to other banshees madly when they met them.

Time seemed to slow down, and Xius felt that everything in front of him seemed to be in slow motion.

He watched Monica rush out of the water, roaring and knocking Nora out.

There was only one sentence echoing in his mind at this moment, what Ash had told him before.

"Flesh and blood magic can only barely resist the water pressure. Once you leave the sea water, even if you have flesh and blood magic, most of them will..."

"He exploded and died." Xius muttered.
