Chapter 179
Chapter 179
"I can't just sit idle either."
Renault sighed and looked at the calm water ahead.
However, despite the calm surface of the water, many dangers lurk beneath.
If you don't want any problems to arise, it's best to investigate beforehand or at least clean up the area.
Besides, this place has a large population.
Even if there is enough food for the time being, it cannot last long.
After all, there's still a long way to go.
He wants to plan ahead for everyone's future.
Next, he plans to lead some skilled swimmers to go fishing.
Besides, with so many people arriving at once, even if they go to the continent of Fingergar, they might not receive a perfect welcome right away.
After all, Renault didn't think the humans of Fingergar were much better than the humans of their Skid continent.
Preparing more food for ourselves can also reduce some of the pressure on the humans of Fingerg Continent.
As a lowly refugee, it's always better to avoid trouble.
…
Skid Continent.
"Boom, boom!" Suddenly, all sorts of demonic creatures that had been running rampant on the continent rushed towards the sea beyond the continent.
Well, the Skid continent has been dealt with, so the next step should be to take care of the neighboring Finger continent.
In fact, most monsters are not good at water.
Strangely, after they entered the water, their bodies began to mutate, growing features similar to those of fish, which greatly enhanced their ability to survive in the water.
Although the monsters are numerous, they are very fast.
The continent of Skid gradually became empty.
The surrounding sea, however, was polluted by these strange and monstrous creatures, turning pitch black.
Countless ordinary aquatic creatures living in the water are also doomed. Unable to withstand the evil aura carried by these monsters, they are slowly dying.
Of course, most of the clever fish escaped to distant places, barely escaping death and surviving.
A thunderous roar echoed across the sky above the cloud-covered continent of Skid.
Suddenly, two large, blood-red slits, shaped like short spoons, split open.
Upon closer inspection, one can discover that these things, side by side, are actually a pair of large eyes that seem to cover the entire continent.
A dense, decaying aura emanated from it. The continent of Skid, peering at by the giant eye, was like an ice cream being baked under the blazing sun, slowly melting into a jet-black liquid and sinking into the sea.
This causes even greater pollution to the seawater.
Even more terrifying, the seawater wriggled and twisted, transforming into long, black, worm-like creatures.
They are densely packed and numerous, and when in the water, they are even faster than native marine fish.
They surpassed the monsters that had originally left and spread in all directions.
When encountering small islands, the black color seemed like magic water, directly encroaching upon them.
In the blink of an eye, the island was polluted, turning into the same inky black liquid, giving birth to even more demonic insects.
"This world is no longer capable of resisting me. The final end has begun..."
The ancient god of destruction watched this scene silently with his large eyes. As more and more of the land and sea in this world were corrupted by demons, his power also began to rise.
"Buzz buzz buzz," however, just when it seemed that the monster was unstoppable, a series of great storms blew in from all directions, frantically washing away the blackness of the place.
With a "splashing" sound, in the more distant regions, the endless seawater seemed to come alive. They were like an endless stream of "soldiers," actively gathering to confront the monsters.
A great storm enveloped the eyes of the ancient god of destruction, which were filled with the power of nature, causing the large eyes to squint.
At the same time, the storm is like an eraser, blurring the large eyes as time goes by.
The surrounding monsters also suffered heavy casualties.
Even with heavy casualties, a large number of monsters still exist.
As time goes by, new monsters are slowly being born.
The storm could only be contained to a limited extent.
"Hahaha, you won't last much longer. This last struggle is ridiculous."
The laughter of the ancient god of destruction followed. He was not saddened or upset by the world's backlash at all; on the contrary, he was even more expectant and excited.
...
Renault wasted no time; soon after, he deliberately increased the ship's speed, completely overtaking most of them and clearing the way ahead.
Not only that, but on either side of him, some tiny warships followed.
They lined up in a ^ shape, and everything in their path seemed to have been smashed to pieces.
Some of the awakened beings who could fly floated high in the sky and went to even more distant places to gather information.
The scene looked spectacular.
Normally, there are many people watching from behind.
But now, I'm not in the mood to watch it at all.
Because Suen has already begun to take action.
In reality, truly corrupt officials are only a portion, not all of them.
Renault and Suenso are only targeting a portion of the group.
In this way, by uniting the original goodness and taking action, it becomes much easier to eliminate the parasites.
Time flies, and seven days later.
"Huh, what's that behind me?"
"The seawater turned black?"
"Ah, these are all monsters! Monsters from the Skid Continent have invaded!"
...
As Suen was patrolling the fleet's borders as usual, checking for any danger, he suddenly stared blankly at the rear of the fleet, his expression gradually becoming dazed.
But five seconds later, he finally realized what was happening.
Because that blackness was none other than a wave formed by demons.
Suen "whooshed" onto the inner perimeter of the fleet and shouted loudly, "Accelerate! Accelerate at all costs, or we will all die!"
In fact, even without Su En's reminder, many people had already sensed the dark, oppressive seawater behind them.
The awakened ones also sensed the dense array of demonic auras.
"Speed up, speed up ahead, don't block the way."
"Why are these monsters still chasing us? How could we be so unlucky?"
"Waaaaah, it seems I'm going to be killed by monsters just like my father."
The scene became chaotic.
Many people were in a panic.
They were shouting and yelling like madmen.
"O sea, grant me strength." Just then, a pale-faced girl emerged from a ship.
As she shouted, the surrounding seawater seemed to transform into countless pushing hands, propelling the fleet forward at breakneck speed.
"Cough cough cough." The girl was very weak, and she coughed with difficulty.
Clearly, this move was a difficult one for her.
In fact, she was already overworked, and she had also been injured in the past.
"Linya, well done! But can you keep going?" Su En descended from the sky and landed beside the girl, his face full of worry.
He was well aware of the girl's frailty.
In fact, if it weren't for healing medicine or something, she might have been dead for several days already.
"It's alright, I'll get everyone to the other side before I die," Linya said with a smile.
Suen's eyes reddened, glistening with tears. "You must hold on, you mustn't die. There are definitely awakened beings on the Finger Continent who can save you."
Linya shook her head. She knew her condition very well; her current state of clinging to life was truly beyond saving.
Or rather, given the current capabilities of medical awakeners, it would be very difficult to bring her back to life.
Of course, the most important question is whether she can even make it to her destination.
It's important to know that gathering people on the continent of Finger is still a long way off.
But the monsters behind them were getting faster and faster.
Perhaps she will die of exhaustion before she even reaches her destination?
"The Awakener of the Wind, summon the winds and stir up the waves." Renault, the one-armed Awakener, leaped into the sky.
With a series of booming sounds, a large amount of lightning surged from his body, making him seem like the master of lightning.
“Yes,” came a few responses from various parts of the fleet.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," a breeze blew in, enveloping the fleet and making it faster and faster.
The monster, which had been getting closer, gradually disappeared.
Clearly, this has created distance.
"Combat-type Awakened Ones, follow me to the rear and stop the monster!" Renault continued to shout.
Although the monster wave was shaken off.
However, Reno knew perfectly well that some faster monsters were overtaking the main force and catching up.
At this point, a defensive gap must be created behind, otherwise the ships behind will inevitably be attacked by monsters.
"Su En, go forward and lead the way, make sure everyone doesn't go astray."
"In addition, if you encounter anyone blocking your way, you need to drive them away or even kill them as much as possible," Renault continued to give orders.
“I understand, don’t worry,” Suen said, and took flight again.
"Ordinary warships and soldiers, also flank and provide support." Renault turned a corner and ran to another location to continue shouting.
...
The fleet, like a giant machine, began to operate.
Although the fleet was too large and bulky, overall, order was forcibly maintained.
“Waaah…” Just as many awakened beings were struggling desperately, a series of soft murmurs leaked from between heaven and earth.
The sound was very faint at first, but it grew louder and louder over time.
A peaceful and harmonious force emerged.
"Huh?" Linya suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"My power is increasing?"
"Boom, boom," the sea beneath the ship surged even more violently, propelling the vessel forward. The speed was definitely two or three times faster than before.
At the same time, the "winds" from all directions were also raging, becoming more intense and powerful.
"My power is increasing."
"Hahaha, I've broken through? Roar for me, let's fly even faster!"
The other Wind Awakeners in other locations were also stunned.
"My injuries are healing too," Linya murmured to herself, a surge of intense joy welling up from the depths of her heart.
"Thanks to the great will of the world for its blessings."
Those who awaken are actually quite intelligent; they quickly figured out the reason for their changes.
At the same time, after years of research, everyone has long known that their power comes from the will of the world. Now that their strength has inexplicably increased, it must be because the will of the world is helping them and bestowing upon them more power.
"Uh, I think I've awakened." On the warship guarding the rear along with Renault and the other awakened ones, a young soldier's eyes suddenly turned blue.
At that moment, he felt his vision suddenly increase dramatically.
He can now clearly see the demons that ordinary people cannot see.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh," as his conviction surged, blue light actually appeared in his eyes again.
With a "bang," the water surface a kilometer away was shattered, splashing out a large amount of water. Upon closer inspection, black demonic blood could be seen leaking out.
Clearly, there's a monster here.
"Hahaha, I'm an Awakened One now! I can finally rely on my own power to exorcise demons."
"Thanks to the great will of the world for its blessings."
The young soldier's eyes welled up with tears.
"Ah, this is so enviable." There were seven or eight soldiers around, and they couldn't help but feel envious.
However, the matter did not end there.
Because, in other directions, new awakened beings are also emerging.
"Great world will, please grant me power as well, for I also wish to destroy demons."
Ordinary people who haven't awakened extraordinary powers are starting to get anxious; they also want to become one of those lucky ones.
They crave power.
Because only by becoming an extraordinary being can one slay demons and enhance one's self-defense capabilities.
...
“Very good, we will definitely survive.” Renault smiled. To be honest, he had previously prepared to cover the rear and die behind them to buy time for the main force to escape.
But now, his strength has also increased. Even at the site of his severed arm, flesh and bone are growing back.
Perhaps, before long, his lost arm will grow back.
In this way, his body will inevitably recover to its original state, and his strength will certainly be greater than before.
In fact, even though he's missing a hand, he feels his strength has increased dramatically, making him comparable to a national-level awakened being.
"Thunderstorm." Renault raised his only remaining arm and slapped it against the seawater behind him.
With a crackling sound, in an instant, a large amount of blue-green lightning shot out from his hand, turning into a dense net of electricity that rushed into the sea.
Water conducts electricity.
Water can increase and enhance the attack range of lightning.
Moreover, lightning is extremely hot.
Before long, steam began to rise from the water's surface.
Some octopuses, scalded to a grayish-white color, floated on top.
This octopus had red markings on its body, and its large head was covered with all sorts of small eyes. Clearly, it was no good creature, but rather a water-attribute monster.
However, Renault did not rejoice at his achievement; instead, his expression turned somber and grave.
The once blue sea was turning black.
Although Renault doesn't possess the kind of extraordinary power that enhances eyesight, his strength is so great that his physical body has also evolved and been amplified, making his vision extraordinary as well.
"Monster, get back here!" Renault leaped into the sea.
The instant he came into contact with the seawater, Reno's body transformed completely into lightning.
In an instant, the seawater within a radius of several hundred meters was shattered by the violent destructive power of the lightning.
The water surface turned into a large, sunken pit.
"What is that?" The many awakened beings and humans nearby were drawn to the scene. They looked over and were immediately startled.
What appeared beneath the surface of the sea where Reynolds had crashed was a massive black monster, nearly a thousand square meters in size.
Upon closer inspection, and from a slightly greater distance, one could see the full picture and discover that it was a large black octopus with fleshy folds and cracks all over its head.
His numerous tentacles, scattered further down, drifted about wantonly.
However, Renault was no pushover either; his lightning had already blasted hundreds of large gashes into the giant's body.
Even the giant octopus's body was numb from the blows, lost control, and appeared stiff and sluggish.
"Humans, you cannot escape. I will now offer you up to the great ancient god of destruction."
