Chapter 116: Mermaid Crisis
Chu Yi, wearing the vest of Poseidon, floated behind Johnston Taylor in hiding, looking at the famous and suave actor sitting lonely in the ruins.
In the deep and dark seabed, it was pitch black all around, only a tiny light emanating from his body brought a little light to this cold world. But this little glimmer of light actually highlights his decadence.
After taking a look at the actor's condition, Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a little pity for him.
The once shiny and dazzling fish tail has become dull and mottled, the face is unshaven, the eyes are tired, and the whole mermaid looks lifeless. One can't help but wonder what kind of troubles could turn him into the decadent old man he is today?
The reality is indeed cruel, and there are countless thorns blocking his way forward. Compared to other aliens who are doing well, he really has a hard time.
But she also gave him a lot of help.
He was given cheats to upgrade his realm to that of a high-level magician, and he was given various aliases to repair Atlantis for free. After the repairs were completed, he occupied it for free without saying anything. At the beginning, even flower growers did not enjoy such treatment.
Shaking his head, Chu Yi took off the Poseidon vest inside the barrier.
She didn't plan to let the Sea God be born. As she said before, too many gods would not be good for foreign people with special abilities. Instead, they will hinder the development of humanity and will not be beneficial to the improvement of overall strength.
So let the people of Blue Star fight for this throne.
As for who will be lucky enough to win the title, it depends on their own luck. Maybe it's the mermaid in front of me, or maybe it's someone else.
No matter who it is, the godhood and the position of God shall be occupied by the capable one.
As the first mermaid, Johnston Taylor certainly had some special privileges. After all, he has gained control of a small half of Atlantis. If he is not the future Poseidon, he may not have a good end.
She had a good impression of Johnston and didn't want to see his body for the time being. So Chu Yi specially gave him an opportunity. As long as he could seize this opportunity, he could achieve great success in one step.
If he succeeds, he will be the new generation of Poseidon. If he fails, he will be just an ordinary dead fish in the deep sea.
Putting his thoughts aside, Chu Yi stared into the deep blue eyes of the Sea God and silently gave him instructions. After the Sea God received the order and left, she stayed in the barrier to watch the show.
Outside, the decadent Mr. Mermaid was still sighing, completely unaware of what he was about to face.
"Why......"
Johnston Taylor sat on the rugged rubble, exuding an unrelieved depression.
He didn't understand. Other awakened alien races were able to develop their own races in a colorful way, so why was it so difficult for him?
Even half-mermans are hard to find, and I don’t know how that witch found me back then.
Scratching his hair in distress, Johnston wished he could find the witch again to make another deal. Even if he cried a lot of tears or sold his soul, he couldn't advance his power development plan at all.
Just as he was swinging the fish's tail, doubting the fish's survival, the quiet and smooth sea water around him suddenly became agitated. The deep sea, which rarely had any waves, became turbulent, countless crises began to brew, and no creature dared to continue approaching this sea area.
The seaweed swaying with the waves was forcibly changed and turned in the direction in front of Johnston. The schools of fish swimming around seemed to be frozen. They suddenly stopped swimming and fell stiffly to the bottom of the sea.
Even the occasional infrasound waves from whales, dolphins and other fish disappeared without anyone noticing.
Deathly silence descended silently upon this sea area, bringing the shadow of death to all living beings here.
Johnston, whose sixth sense was frantically sounding the alarm, shuddered all over, his pupils contracted violently, and the scales on his fish tail exploded. He couldn't help but bare his sharp teeth, erect his sharp dorsal fin and claws, and be alert to everything around him.
The depressing atmosphere brewed for a while, and the turbulent ocean currents around him began to converge in front of Johnston's eyes.
Now Johnston could no longer sit still. He used the mermaid's super-high-speed maneuverability on the seabed and instantly left where he was sitting. As if in a flash, he appeared again several dozen meters away.
Staring at the whirlpool formed by the gathering of ocean currents, the expression on Johnston's face became more and more ferocious.
The feeling coming from the water was very bad, with murderous intent like an icy peak and oppression heavier than sea pressure spreading around. This made Johnston realize that the guy who was about to appear was an enemy, not a friend, and had no good intentions.
If he is unlucky, he might die here today.
Without time to lament his bad luck, the ferocious mermaid just silently accumulated strength and put himself in an attacking state ready to strike at any time. No matter who that mysterious guy is, he has no intention of just sitting there and waiting to die.
Even if he would be killed in one blow, he would still resist.
Although Johnston's luck was bad, his predictions were accurate. He had just cheered himself up in his heart when he saw the mysterious figure hidden in the ocean current appear. Then, before he could even see who the other person was, he was killed in one blow.
Fortunately, the other party didn't really want to kill him, so his attack was not truly fatal, leaving him with a glimmer of hope.
However, if he had not received timely treatment, Johnston would have died.
His injuries were so severe that the blood that flowed out dyed most of the sea bright red. Such a horrific amount of bleeding is enough to kill a person instantly.
Although the alien races have physical fitness far superior to that of humans, what would be a serious injury to humans may be only a minor injury to them. But this time it was different. Because the person who attacked was of extraordinary identity, the mermaid's super self-healing ability was completely ineffective.
He could only watch his blood drain out of his body bit by bit, barely maintaining his last bit of consciousness.
The injured mermaid was like a real dead fish, with its belly facing up, its hands and tail hanging limply, floating in the sea. Mixed with the blood all over the body, the whole picture has a cruel beauty.
Such beautiful scenery can indeed satisfy the perpetrator, because it means that the rude person has received the punishment he deserves and can slightly soothe the violence in his heart.
The sea god floated in the distance, looked around silently, and finally waved his hand in disgust, letting the ocean current carry away the scarlet liquid around him. No matter how beautiful it is, it is full of the filth of the inferior people. Looking at it for even a second longer is a defilement to yourself.
If it weren't for his master's order today, he wouldn't even look at this mermaid. According to him, it would be a mercy to give such a daring mermaid a death.
"You fools who dare to invade my city should be skinned alive and thrown into hell, with your souls burning for eternity!"
Glancing at Johnston indifferently, the sea god's deep blue eyes showed no affection for his people. He himself is a cold and ruthless god, and human emotions do not exist in him.
In the setting, he once started a war just for his own face, regardless of the lives of his people. Then, when he was about to fail, he decisively sacrificed the blood of the entire city's population, causing the enemy god to be cursed and ultimately fail.
That’s why Atlantis now looks so dilapidated.
Of course, in the game, he is not the god of the sea in the traditional sense, but just a story made up by the game company. The city he destroyed was not Atlantis, but another city.
Then the main god directly changed the historical legends according to the settings of the suit. The deeds of this sea god were grafted onto reality, making Atlantis a victim of the gods.
Now, Poseidon is considered an evil god.
If it were in the past, Chu Yi would still mind and might not have exchanged the Sea God. But now, what does it matter if it is an evil god? As long as it can play a role, she can even exchange it for an ancient god.
That's why Chu Yi stood very calmly in the barrier and watched the suffering of Mr. Johnston Taylor.
Anyway, they won't really kill him, they're just giving him some tests. It is impossible to get such a great benefit without paying anything.
Johnston, who was inexplicably seriously injured and stepped into the gate of hell, took a lot of effort to figure out the reason after hearing what Poseidon said. Because of the serious injury, he couldn't concentrate on thinking about unnecessary things, and even staying awake was very difficult.
After figuring it out, he couldn't help but force a bitter smile. I didn’t expect that the thing I’ve been worrying about for so long would finally break out today.
In fact, Johnston was not completely unaware that he would be approached.
In ancient times, Atlantis belonged exclusively to the god of the sea. From its establishment to its disappearance, it has had no other owners in thousands of years.
How can such a private property of the gods be occupied by ordinary mermaids? He was just taking a gamble with a gambler's mentality.
Now that retribution has come, Johnston can't blame anyone. It all started with his own greed.
He shook his head to clear his foggy brain, and then, holding up his eyes that were too weak to open completely, he explained to the Sea God, "Because, because I have not been able to sense Your Majesty's presence for nearly a thousand years... That's why I... made this decision privately..."
“Cough cough cough!”
Due to excessive blood loss and extreme pain, Johnston spoke a short sentence in pieces, and it is possible that the sea god on the opposite side did not hear it clearly at all.
But he didn't care about that anymore. He had to struggle even if it was futile.
Faced with such a weak explanation, Poseidon could only sneer.
Does this mean he doesn't understand the cunning of human beings?
Would you do this because you can't sense your own existence? Even a fool with an incomplete soul would not use such words to appease the gods.
Looking at the dying mermaid, there was only endless mockery on the handsome face of the sea god. He raised his hand, ready to teach this audacious merman another lesson.
So what if the target is chosen by the master? There are so many living creatures on Blue Star, we can just find another one. Moreover, if they are accidentally killed, they can be resurrected. Gods have the right to be willful.
