Why?
Forced to retreat by the Sea God, Xia Wuyou's face showed not surprise but delight.
Because the first thought that popped into her mind was, could it be that Xu Shi did something to cause it to be in so much pain?
Anyway, that's what she thought. In her eyes, her man was truly infallible. Even if they encountered a sudden crisis, he could turn the situation around as much as possible... Xie Qingyan was no pushover either, and with Shen Qin involved, he might actually pull something, right?
Not to mention that Xia Ke'an vouched for him, it was hard for her not to think that way.
And indeed, that was the case; the sea god's painful spasms were because it had split open.
A physical crack.
No one knew that the behemoth that was invincible just moments before, capable of killing thousands with a flick of its tentacles, could suddenly become so vulnerable.
But the facts before us cannot be faked. With a deafening roar, the towering water curtain exploded, carrying with it a dazzling light.
As mentioned before, the battle against the sea god was very peaceful. Except for the whale fall, it was almost completely silent. If you wanted background music, you had to imagine it yourself. But this sudden loud noise finally filled the gap. Many people covered their ears as if they were waking up from a dream. Those who were unlucky were even directly shocked by the impact and bled from all seven orifices.
Including the seawater that filled the sky, even a little bit of this stuff is unbearable, so interestingly, the damage caused by this explosion may not be much smaller than the previous attack by the sea god, and may even have a wider impact.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Cheng Gujian dared not delay, and even unusually said "retreat" three times, urging his fleet to retreat as much as possible.
But it was still too late. The rain was pouring down, and many people were still suffering when it subsided.
But their casualties weren't just from being washed away by the sea; upon closer inspection, many were injured by... falling debris?
The object that injured them was a peculiar blue crystal, perfectly square and regular, with water flowing slowly through it as if it were filled with water.
"My lord, what is this?"
The Royal Knight Commander, who had been relatively unknown, asked the question cautiously.
Cheng Gujian picked up a crystal and glanced at it. His pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, and he roughly understood what was going on.
This must be the body parts that the sea god transformed from after his death... He had just fought with the sea god and could clearly feel his unique "divine aura".
Looking back at where the sea god had originally been, the main body had turned into nothingness, and the remaining tentacles were gradually crystallizing, turning into crystals that fell onto the sea surface and floated.
Everything is self-evident.

"...We'll investigate what it is when we get back."
He immediately gave the order, "Quickly send people to retrieve these stones, take as many as you can, and be fast!"
They weren't the only ones present; the others quickly realized just how precious this thing was, and that they had to act quickly!
He even regretted backing away earlier, as it would have taken a lot of time... but he couldn't see the situation clearly at the time, so there was nothing he could do about it.
"yes!"
Commander Chen readily agreed and immediately arranged for someone to do it.
On the other side.
"...How are you all?!"
The Vatican was also affected by the explosion. Qin Yiyan was the first to react and hurriedly shouted after the water curtain receded.
She breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the situation was alright.
It has to be said that they really messed up this time. Not only were they pushed out during the battle against the sea god, but their casualties were no less than those of the others.
At least the credit for defeating the sea god will not fall on their heads. All three sides are watching each other closely, and the consequences of trying to take credit will only be more serious. Xu Shi and Cheng Gujian may still go easy on each other, but there is absolutely no way they can.
It's true that her raw strength is inferior to theirs. Who would have thought that the renowned Grand Duke of the Ancient Sword Empire would actually take to the battlefield this time? If we compare them, her position as a Templar Knight Commander is not quite up to par. Only Her Highness the Holy Maiden and His Holiness the Pope are on the same level as him.
Including those outsiders—the red-haired older sister believed she still had some information about the local area, but Xia Wuyou's displayed strength was completely different from what was mentioned above.
She's far superior! Qin Yiyan isn't even sure if she could guarantee a 100% win if she faced her; she might even lose...
This is just one person in their team; what about the others?
And those weapons and cannons they had... they didn't seem very effective against Poseidon, but then again, how many enemies are there like Poseidon? The weapons that were just scratching the surface of it might be devastating to ordinary people.
Including, for a moment just now, she seemed to sense another unusually powerful "divine aura" over there. Was it just her imagination?
Subconsciously smoothing her hair, the red-haired woman suddenly felt her mind was in turmoil, especially when she thought about what was about to happen. Her mood could only be described as heavy.
"Sister Qin! Are you alright?"
Luo Yu jogged over, holding up a crystal like a precious treasure to show her, "Look at this!"
He didn't need to come over to show it to her; Qin Yiyan had already noticed these things. As a battle-hardened knight, she could naturally tell what they were.
But looking at the scattered crystals around her, she was caught in a dilemma.
This is obviously a good thing, and it could even be said to be the biggest spoils of this voyage. Given the current situation, we should definitely try to get as much as possible.
