What's going on?

Danitz couldn't believe his eyes.

This did not shock him, but instead made him feel inexplicably terrified, just like jumping into a bucket full of ice after being drunk, with a biting cold seeping in from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

What on earth had happened? Why had it become so strange? Danitz took a breath, forced himself to turn his head back, and chased after Gehrman Sparrow's back.

He noticed that the crazy adventurer was walking faster and faster, so fast that he had to trot to keep up.

Passing through the streets and alleys, Danitz suddenly saw a green shadow falling from the tree.

Snap, it was covered with scales, twisting its slippery body, with a triangular head and spitting out a long and thin scarlet core. It turned out to be a not short poisonous snake!

Shit! How could there be snakes in this weather at this time of year? Danitz was not afraid of such creatures and had even roasted snake meat before. What irritated him was this abnormal situation.

Danitz walked around the coiled venomous snake and subconsciously looked around. He found that in the drainage ditches on both sides, in the damaged corners of the house, and on the inside of the rusty water pipes, there were pairs of cold, vertical pupils of different colors looking out.

Danitz shuddered instinctively, feeling as if his scalp was being pricked by densely packed fine needles.

He did not dare to stay, nor did he dare to leave. He quickened his pace again and followed closely behind Gehrman Sparrow.

Entering the "Blue Wind" hotel and walking up the wooden stairs, he couldn't help but look up and wanted to ask a question.

Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest and his breathing became stagnant.

At this moment, he seemed to have dived into the bottom of the sea and was being squeezed from all directions by heavy currents.

Crash!

Faintly, Danitz heard the sound of the surging tide and saw illusory waves rising and falling around Gehrman Sparrow, as if forming a boundless, bottomless blue ocean.

In the ocean, there was a huge, blue figure like a tall tower, supporting everything.

This... Danitz's right foot stopped in mid-air, unable to move forward.

He was not unfamiliar with similar feelings. At the last pirate conference, the "King of the Five Seas" Nast was even more majestic and terrifying than this. Almost all pirates could not raise their heads, and only the generals could barely resist him.

Danitz knew very well that this was definitely not Gehrman Sparrow's performance.

If the opponent is at the level of demigod, there is no need to introduce the "Made-in-China Punisher" when hunting "Iron" McVitti!

Ocean... tide... these two terms flashed through Danitz's mind first, and then he thought of the rebels' basic belief in the "God of the Sea" Kalvetuwa.

"Could it be that when Gehrman Sparrow touched the bone sword just now, he was cursed by the Sea God due to unknown factors? The body of the believer that was completely dehydrated was one of the conditions for the curse to be activated? The driver knelt and prostrated himself and kissed the ground just now because he felt the breath of the Sea God?

"Hiss... I'm afraid Gehrman Sparrow will die here today... Should I run away to avoid being affected? At most, I can come back to collect his body later...

"Maybe there is still hope. I'll use the 'Spiritual Ritual' to consult the captain. She knows so many strange secret arts that she should be able to solve this problem... No, Lord, the condition of the 'Spiritual Ritual' is within 500 nautical miles. They have to sail for at least a day and a half to enter this range..."

While trying his best to think of a solution, Danitz was no longer so panicked. He walked steadily and followed Gehrman Sparrow into the luxurious suite.

Klein still didn't speak, his dark brown eyes seemed to be tinged with a blue so rich that it was almost black.

He ran straight to the bedroom and locked the door with a click.

Danitz stood outside, wanting to run away at one moment, but then thinking he could still rescue the other person.

Inside the bedroom, Klein closed his eyes and waited for an opportunity.

Suddenly, he took four steps in the opposite direction, reciting a sentence with each step.

A series of manic or sharp mutterings quickly rang in his ears, and his illusory spirit rose up into the gray fog.

Silently, he heard a howl of misery and pain that was difficult to describe in words.

Klein appeared in the ancient palace, at the top of the mottled long table.

In the still gray fog below, an illusory, gigantic blue-green sea snake appeared.

It was located in an ancient and dark ruin, coiled on a half-fallen pillar, with its ferocious head raised and its bloody mouth open, revealing curved fangs that were longer than a human forearm.

On the milky white fangs, there were layers of blood and mucus flowing.

The sea serpent swung its tail wildly, causing terrifying waves and exaggerated ripples, which made the entire ruins shake and seem about to collapse.

The picture quickly shattered and dimmed. No matter how the sea snake, which was so huge beyond imagination, struggled, it could not turn around. It could only let out a long hiss of pain and turned into a little light, disappearing in the gray fog.

Klein sat on the high-back chair that belonged to The Fool and watched everything quietly without making any extra moves for a long time.

The gray fog spread silently, and the scene here seemed to have never changed.

After a few dozen seconds, Klein leaned back in his chair, sighed softly, and uttered the other person's name:

"'Sea God' Kalvetuwa..."

After touching the bone sword, he already felt something unusual, and in the conversation with "Bald" Karat, he keenly discovered that a tiny, weak but extremely high-quality cold and evil force had invaded his body at some point and was slowly polluting his soul.

Klein made a prompt decision and turned around to leave. Then he realized that the evil power was connecting with the surroundings, gradually becoming stronger and connecting to an unknown place bit by bit.

So, he distracted himself from fighting against the erosion while controlling himself from interacting with the surroundings.

Klein believed that as long as he responded to the abnormalities along the way, the erosion would become more severe and even irreversible.

He originally wanted to find a bathroom nearby and use the shielding and isolation of the gray fog to dissipate the evil and cold power, but after repeated consideration, he decided to stay away from that area first, because there were so many "Sea God" believers around, and there was a high possibility of accidents.

During this process, Klein realized one thing: if he "expelled" it in advance, some of the power projected by "Sea God" Kalvetuwa would remain in his flesh and blood, and the consequences and impact would be unknown.

He had to wait patiently for the opportunity, waiting for the cold and evil power to completely penetrate his soul so that he could be "purified" in one fell swoop.

After thinking about the whole thing, Klein tapped the edge of the table with his fingers and whispered to himself:

"Not very strong..."

The status of "Sea God" is much lower than he imagined!

His original plan was to use the same tactics he had used to treat Amon's clone to deal with the projection of the "sea god" Kalvetuwa that was trying to erode his soul and take over his body. However, before he could integrate the "Black Emperor" card and throw out the paper angel, the opponent was directly dispelled by the gray fog without leaving any trace.

Based on this, Crane concluded that the status of "Sea God" Kalvetuwa was lower than that of "Blasphemer" Amon - although the latter might be better at intrusion, he was just a clone at the time.

Was he beaten down to a lower rank by the Lord of Storms, or was he not even at the angel level, but a relatively powerful demigod who could respond to his followers within a certain range? Klein recalled with confusion, and found that the state of Sea God Kalvetuwa was quite abnormal:

"The foundation of this evil spirit's existence is quite fragile, and it seems that it will collapse at any time...

"Moreover, it and the ruins it is in have a sense of integration with the spiritual world. Is that why it was able to escape the siege of the Church of Storms?"

Klein leaned back in his chair and had a vague guess.

"What happened today was not accidental. It all started when archaeologist Laticia took away an important item from the Forgotten Temple, causing the lingering 'Sea God' Kalvetuwa's condition to deteriorate, making it difficult for him to maintain his existence for a long time...

"While it was asking its followers to retrieve the item, it was also preparing to possess someone and survive. The bone sword should have originated from its demigod body, hiding a bit of its power. As long as the target is suitable, it will invade the body of the person it touches, pollute the soul, establish coordinates, and allow its own spirit to transfer here before dissipating...

"But it's obviously not good at this. Well, it's not the Mercury Snake, and it can't recycle itself and reincarnate. It's not like Amon the Blasphemer, who can live in other people's souls. If it really takes over this body, it will only cause the flesh and blood to completely collapse, creating a horrible monster."

According to this logic, Kalvetuva, who is on the verge of complete destruction, will make many crazy moves next... Klein frowned slightly and fell into the gray fog without further delay, returning to the real world.

He unlocked the door, opened it, and walked into the living room, startling Danitz who was pacing back and forth.

Danitz looked him up and down for a few times, then asked cautiously and warily:

"You, are you okay?"

Klein maintained the persona of Gehrman Sparrow and replied calmly:

"Solved."

Solved? Danitz looked left and right, and then glanced at the bedroom. He suspected that his previous feelings were all illusions, and there was no curse from the "sea god" at all.

What was he doing in the bedroom? He lifted the curse of the Sea God in just one or two minutes? Hiss, this guy has quite a secret... Danitz took two steps back and made way.

…………

Next to a table with a lot of sundries, the "bald" Karat, sitting in an iron wheelchair, said to the tattooed man Edmonton with a look of regret:

“What a pity.”

"Just a little bit... He didn't pick it up, he just touched it." Edmonton also sighed.

Karat looked at the slightly bent bone sword and said to himself enthusiastically:

"When an outsider picks up this holy sword, God will reappear on earth..."

Edmonton then knelt down, as if confessing to the gods.

As time passed, Karat and Edmonton suddenly heard two screams.

They looked up and found that two of their companions had fallen straight down, their skin like weathered rock, having lost all moisture.

Karat and Edmonton looked at each other and felt a strange atmosphere.

They both straightened up at the same time and looked towards the table.

The milky white holy sword cracked with a snap and broke into countless small pieces.
