While Marlowe was communicating with Gourmet, the ship they were on was moving forward at a fairly fast speed.
Not long.
When a huge monster appeared before my eyes.
Marlowe, who was already analyzing the situation in silence, could not help but fall into a deeper silence.
It looks like a fish but not a fish, and like a bird but not a bird. Its overly rough skin, extremely ferocious face, and the twisting tentacles on both sides of its cheeks make it look like a vicious beast that wants to devour the world.
Just as Gourme described, this was a giant beast similar to Kun.
Gourmet's opinion was not the only one regarding the appearance of the monster. Marlowe was sure that he also clearly saw the giant beast above the island not far away.
The shock and panic that flashed through his heart were quickly dispelled by him shaking his head.
This giant beast, which is no more than 200 meters in size, is still quite inferior to the 2,000-meter-tall hibiscus tree in the headquarters cave.
Marlowe, who had seen the world, quickly calmed down, but he still couldn't help swallowing.
Because the current situation seems to be a bit tricky.
Or rather, it's quite tricky.
He didn't know if this was an illusion.
Because even at this distance where he could clearly see the giant beast without the help of moonlight, he still couldn't feel the slightest bit of spiritual power.
This matter is most likely no longer within his ability to resolve.
He couldn't even feel the spiritual power fluctuations from the other side.
Or maybe this wasn't actually something related to spiritual power, but just an illusion or creation created by some non-spiritual means. He couldn't imagine that such a realistic illusion could be created without using spiritual power.
Either the opponent's spiritual power level is not in the same dimension as his, and with his strength he is not capable of sensing the opponent's level.
No matter what the situation was, it was obviously no longer something he could solve.
He didn't even dare to shine the searchlight over there to get a closer look at the details of the monster, for fear of awakening the giant beast that now seemed to be sleeping.
Marlowe looked at the raven on his shoulder and said, "Report to Minister Martha as planned - there are indeed abnormal events, but there are no spiritual power fluctuations and no abyssal aura. In view of the gap in strength and the fact that there are no civilians around, my department is now applying for evacuation."
When facing such a giant beast without any civilians in need of rescue or evacuation, there would be no need for a junior student like him to carry out the specific preliminary exploration work, which could greatly avoid casualties.
For this, he had to thank Gourme for evacuating all the civilians on the island.
Now he probably just needs to retreat to a farther place to conduct continuous monitoring and observation, waiting for the bigwigs in the organization to come for support.
Upon hearing this, the raven closed its eyes and began to remotely contact Martha's raven.
This method of communication is the most efficient one after the Spark chat group.
Gourmet looked at Marlowe's empty shoulders with a hint of longing.
Although he could not see the existence of ravens because he had no spirituality in his body, as Martha's godson, he was well aware of the existence of ravens.
It is the benefit and symbol of all students in Dawn Academy, and it is also something that Gulmei has dreamed of possessing countless times.
It wasn't that he longed for the raven.
He just longed to join Everday and become a part of the best group in the world.
In silence, the fleet continued to maintain basic observations of various data. Since they did not dare to use sonar, radar or other means of emitting sound and radio waves, this kind of observation could not guarantee that the data was accurate enough.
Not long after, Martha's reply came.
[Maintain the farthest observable distance for the naked eye and monitor the monsters in real time. ]
【Waiting for support】
Marlowe nodded in understanding.
Then he ordered all ships to retreat, away from the location of the super monster.
The rest of the work regarding this giant beast was left to the tall man who arrived next. It was not his turn to handle such a big event.
The operation went smoothly at the beginning.
However, before the ship reached the extreme position, the super monster that had been motionless for a long time suddenly moved.
I saw its towering head slowly lowering, as if Mount Tai was collapsing before my eyes.
The giant beast's long drooping beard quickly fell into the sea.
In an instant, the quiet environment became restless.
The sea water surged up out of nowhere, and waves higher than the last began to rage.
The boat that Marlowe and Gourmet were on also began to shake. Although it was not overturned by the waves, it was still enough to make people stunned.
The huge noise made everyone on the ship dare not move too much for a moment, and they could only stand there in a daze without moving.
Even Marlowe silently restrained his weak spiritual power and prayed that the monster did not discover their ship.
At this moment, he understood from the real waves that were almost hitting his face that this super monster was most likely not an illusion.
Not long after, the giant beast's eyes turned.
Then he looked in the direction of Marlowe, Gourmet and others.
The vigorous spiritual power spread out instantly.
It was as if materialized spiritual power gushed out, blowing away the dark clouds in the sky. Even the satellites in the space above this place were affected and lost their ability to work.
A solemn atmosphere filled the space between heaven and earth.
Seeing this, Marlowe swallowed.
The raven on his shoulder also got angry for a rare moment.
With such a spiritual reaction, it’s no wonder that he couldn’t feel it at all before.
The gap between them really transcends dimensions.
The opponent has at least reached the third level of spiritual power.
And he had only touched the slightest threshold of spiritual power, and had not even officially entered the door of "possessing spirituality" as a psychic.
How should I fight this? Hit him with the head?
Marlowe was silent, thinking about what he could do now and whether he could do something for the organization before his sacrifice.
Gourmet was a little dumbfounded looking at Marlowe who didn't say a word. The monster's eyes were looking at him, why was Marlowe still motionless? Gourmet, who didn't know that Marlowe had accepted his fate, wanted to do something else, but stopped the next moment.
Looking out through the window of the ship's command room, they saw that the super monster had appeared beside their ship at some point.
Gourme was sure that the giant beast was just floating above the island, but when he turned around, the giant beast appeared next to their ship.
Gurmei was shocked by the teleportation-like method, and the huge size contrast also gave people a great sense of shock.
The ship, which was not even as big as the giant beast's head, was right next to it.
It felt like if the monster breathed a little harder, the entire ship would be overturned into the sea.
The feeling of having your life and death held in the hands of others makes everyone feel uncomfortable.
Gourmet was silent, not knowing what to do at the moment.
He wanted Marlowe to find a way to do something, but he didn't say it out loud because he knew that with Marlowe's level, there was probably no way out.
Marlowe narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.
The next moment, a huge noise came from the direction of the giant beast, and the loud noise caused even bigger waves on the sea.
"A world where spiritual rules are suppressed? It really is a bit uncomfortable. It took me a long time to get used to it after coming here."
"However, the starry sky here..."
“It’s so real.”
The behemoth exclaimed in amazement.
The language of the giant beast was physically deafening, causing Gourme to cover his eardrums with a look of pain.
The beast is rational! This is undoubtedly not good news for Yongri, or even for the entire world.
But at this moment, a crazy idea flashed through Gourme's mind.
If you are rational, maybe you can try to communicate?! At the same time that Gourmet thought of this, Marlowe also thought of it.
So Marlowe decisively went to the loudspeaker button in the command room and pressed it.
"Mr. Behemoth, maybe we can have a good talk."
Marlowe used the spiritual power of the raven to help him speak the spiritual language in a clear and melodious voice.
He also knows the spiritual language that the behemoth knows.
This language, which must be learned in Dawn Academy, is a universal language among spiritual creatures and can be understood by anyone with spiritual power.
Hearing this, the giant beast obviously paused.
It was originally looking up at the starry sky, feeling impressed by the vastness of this world that seemed to have no end.
It understands that in such a vast world with boundless resources, it will no longer be in a situation where a real dragon cannot be raised in shallow water.
Although it didn't know why the Will of the Abyss sent it here without corroding or changing its will, it understood that it was now in a state where fish could leap freely in the vast sea and birds could fly freely in the sky.
Just as it was imagining the future, it couldn't help but lower its head in surprise because of the remarks of several ordinary creatures around it.
"In this world where spiritual rules are obscure, there are actually people who use spiritual language?"
“It’s a miracle.”
The behemoth sighed subconsciously.
It is not surprising that spiritual power exists in a world where the spiritual rules are obscure. After all, although it is obscure, it does not mean that it does not exist at all.
But being able to develop a spiritual language is not easy, which shows that they once had a highly developed spiritual power civilization, and someone in the civilization had reached at least the third level of spiritual power.
"Yes."
"So can you please say a few words to this miracle?"
Marlowe asked calmly.
There was a flash of ecstasy in his eyes.
Since the other party is willing to communicate, the situation may not be so bad.
If they were the forces of the abyss who only wanted to mindlessly erode this world, they would not be patient in discussing and communicating with him here.
Hearing this, the giant beast said nothing.
Ma Luo simply continued: "Excuse me, what is your purpose in coming to this world?"
Marlowe's question came straight to the point.
No one would cross the world for no reason. Just think about it and you will know that this is a huge project.
Even the abyss tried to invade but failed despite great efforts.
In response, the behemoth remained silent.
The natural reason he came here was to no longer be restricted by that world without potential, so he turned around and joined as a lackey of the abyss.
Although he didn't know why the Abyss didn't corrode it and turn it into an Abyss creature, since he had already joined the Abyss, he planned to destroy it according to the Abyss's instructions. After all, it was the Abyss, and if he didn't obey, he would be courting death.
Looking at the silent beast, Marlowe's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong.
The next moment, the spiritual power that suddenly surged between heaven and earth told him that the negotiation between the man and the giant beast had apparently broken down for some unknown reason.
The giant beast has begun to mobilize its spiritual power.
Marlowe's eyes widened, and he immediately shouted loudly in English into the loudspeaker: "Top order! Everyone get on the lifeboat and leave!"
"You too! Do not disobey!"
After turning around and saying this hurriedly to Gourme, Marlowe instantly smashed the glass of the command room and rushed straight to the deck.
Gourmet was left standing there in a daze.
…
Standing on the deck that was constantly shaking due to the waves, Marlowe's years of exercise allowed him to stand steadily.
The crow on his shoulder transformed into a wisp of spiritual energy and merged into his body, lighting up a spreading array of golden lines on the surface of his body.
Even though a huge vortex of spiritual power appeared in the sky, Marlowe still stood on the deck and maintained a confrontation without retreating a single step.
There is no chance of winning! Absolutely no chance! But...
"I want to give it a try."
Marlowe murmured softly, looking at the behemoth that was still accumulating spiritual power with nonchalant eyes.
At least, we should try to see if we can stop the attack of the giant beast a little bit.
We have to try to keep a few people on this ship alive.
"Raven 114514, you will not die because of your group consciousness. Remember to build a monument for me when you return."
Marlowe continued to talk to himself.
The giant beast has not launched an attack yet, so naturally there is no rush to tickle people, lest the giant beast send them away early.
The longer it drags on, the better chance those ordered to escape in the lifeboats may have of survival.
As for the term "tickling"... even after fusing with the fully liberated Raven, I have only barely reached the realm of a Level 0 Psychic, so the term "tickling" is quite appropriate.
After a long time, Marlowe had to interrupt his soliloquy.
I saw a materialized hurricane spiritual power spinning in the sky.
Under the control of the giant beast, it fell down like an oversized Rasengan shuriken.
The beast could have smashed the ship in one blow, but it still used this level of skill. This was enough to smash the ship into dust, and even smash through the sea water and explode the seabed below.
“This is quite valued.”
Marlowe smiled self-deprecatingly, and then in the air behind him, the sun pattern symbol of eternal day flashed in the form of spiritual power.
Then he wanted to die.
But suddenly he found that the falling Rasengan Shuriken was unscientifically stagnant in the air.
Then the giant beast flew up in a hurry, opened its huge mouth and swallowed the attack it had launched with a roar.
The posture was like that of a starving ghost who was afraid of not having enough food to eat, just like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey that even Marlowe couldn't see clearly.
When the giant beast stopped in the air and faced Marlowe, Marlowe always felt that he could vaguely see a hint of flattery and a smile on this ferocious face.
Before he could think about it, there was a muffled bang.
Marlowe clearly saw a wisp of black smoke escaping from the corner of the beast's mouth.
Despite this, the beast remained motionless and looked at Marlowe with a flattering face: "Are you satisfied with this show?"
There was silence for a while, and Marlowe was a little confused.
What was going on? He had to take his own attack? What on earth was going on?! Marlowe stood there in a daze, staring at the giant beast with its half-broken teeth bared, and fell into deep thought.
It seems that the giant beast's transformation began when it subconsciously displayed the sign of eternal day?
This thing... has it ever seen Eternal Day?!
Marlowe was thinking, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes as he looked at the giant beast.
