Pan Feng and Pan Ling were both dumbfounded. They had considered that the white-haired loli was also a "chosen one," but they never expected that she would be such a powerful "chosen one"!
What kind of move is this? It feels even better than Xia Wuyou's, right?
The old lady didn't give them much time to be surprised. She quickly made a prediction about the future and landed smoothly on the ground.
"Don't worry, Dad will be fine."
Really?
Pan Ling hadn't quite grasped what was going on, so she blinked and asked a question.
"If you don't believe me, that's fine too."
Xia Ke'an didn't want to talk to her much, or rather, she couldn't be 100% sure, but judging from the results, Xu Shi's chances of surviving were probably around 80%, which was a pretty good number considering the countless possible futures.
Because she believed in Xu Shi, in her view, since the protagonist of the prophecy was Xu Shi, then this number was equivalent to him being safe.
Instead, she needed to be more careful about her foolish niece! Thinking of this, she quickly used the ship's communication system to call out to Xia Wuyou, "Calm down! You'll be fine!"
But Xia Wuyou wouldn't listen, because she was currently going berserk.
Compared to before, her current offensive is more than a hundred times fiercer, and it is visibly that a large area of space around her appears somewhat distorted.
"Bastard! Die!"
Her eyes were bloodshot, and her tentacles collapsed one after another in a frenzy. Due to the overload on her body, blood had already seeped from the corners of her mouth.
Everyone knows that the chances of survival after being swallowed by the sea god are extremely slim. She has no other thoughts at the moment, only that she can defeat the sea god as soon as possible so that she can rescue Xu Shi.
Even though her efforts seemed somewhat futile.
Just as Xu Shi had analyzed before, severing a thousand or ten thousand tentacles was useless. The ocean was the sea god's domain, and its recovery speed was unimaginable. Such an attack was really ineffective.
What's worse is that she's still fighting alone—Chen Qin followed Xu Shi into the Sea God's body, and Yu Xingchuan's attacks were also minimal. Just then, Cheng Gujian, who was with her, suddenly stopped and withdrew from the battle.
"What are you doing?!"
Xia Wuyou was both surprised and angry. She turned around and glared at the other person, questioning him.
“This won’t work, Mrs. Xia.”
Cheng Gujian gently shook his head and responded calmly.
"I...!"
Xia Wuyou, unusually, swore.
Although she knew the other person was right, doing this would not only fail to save people, but would also drag others down with them. The consequences were self-evident.
At times like these, we should remain calm and refrain from rash actions until we have considered more feasible offensive strategies.
But then again, by doing this, he was undoubtedly abandoning Xu Shi!
If you wait even a second longer to defeat the Sea God, Xu Shi's chances of survival will be one point lower. If you try, at least you'll have a chance to save him; if you don't try, he'll definitely die!
Unfortunately, she couldn't command Cheng Gujian, and the other party didn't have any compelling reason to attack. This was exactly the same as Xu Shi's previous analysis. It seemed that there was cooperation between the two parties, but it hadn't reached the point where they would risk their lives for each other.
Especially now that the Papacy is on the sidelines—there's absolutely no need to worry about them stealing the credit—Cheng Gujian might start considering other things.
Or perhaps he just wanted Xu Shi to die here. Helping you is a favor, not helping is his right. Who can you blame for Xu Shi's death?
Once Xu Shi dies, there will be almost no one left who can rival him. Even if the campaign against the Sea God fails, Cheng Gujian can use other means to squeeze Xu Shi's side and maximize his own interests.
Xia Wuyou wasn't unaware of this; in fact, she knew that if the roles were reversed, Xu Shi would most likely do the same—it was only human nature.
But there are no "what ifs" in this world; right now, my beloved has met with misfortune!
So she was not only angry that Cheng Gujian refused to help her, but also angry that she still did not have enough power to salvage the situation.
Haven't we already upgraded our equipment and increased our strength? Why isn't it enough? Why isn't it enough!
Disappointment, frustration, anger... perhaps because she never thought that Xu Shi would actually encounter misfortune, all these emotions piled up, and she felt that she was on the verge of collapse.
Fortunately, Xia Ke'an stopped her, saying, "Xu Shi is most likely safe. Calm down, conserve your strength, and don't let yourself get hurt too!"
She could see clearly that Xia Xiaomao was completely flustered. This fighting style was full of flaws. Fortunately, Poseidon was not very smart, otherwise, he would have been a complete liability.
The reprimand in her earpiece brought her to her senses a little more, and she suddenly remembered how abnormal her aunt's abilities were, secretly relieved.
"……I see."
She replied in a hoarse voice, and you could tell how much pressure she was under just from her tone.
However, she did not stop there. She just changed her approach to attack, no longer acting recklessly, and gradually regaining her initial methodical approach.
Although she felt reassured, it didn't mean Xu Shi was 100% safe. At least she couldn't give up; maybe her efforts could provide some help?
It was at this time that...
The sea god, which had been on the defensive, suddenly convulsed violently, and its thousands of tentacles suddenly bloomed like flower petals, crashing down onto the sea surface!
Xia Wuyou quickly retreated, narrowly avoiding the attack. She was even somewhat relieved, because if she had been in the same state as before, she might have been seriously injured.
But she soon realized that this did not seem to be the sea god switching from defense to offense, but rather it seemed to be a stress response caused by something touching a sore spot.
Everyone stared wide-eyed as they watched the sea god's expression grow increasingly painful, as if something was thrashing about inside him, a persistent and intractable problem.
The next second.
Its once indestructible body suddenly developed cracks, and countless strange lights burst forth.
boom--
Damn, I stayed up all night until 8 a.m. and only managed to get 5k. My recent performance has been absolutely terrible... Let me adjust my schedule first. Sorry.
