The vast ocean.
Gusts of wind whipped up waves, creating ripples that shaped the wind itself.
The next moment, it suddenly returned to calm, and the entire sea surface was as smooth as a mirror.
The strong winds and waves dragged Sky and the others to the surface of the sea.
"It's amazing how the sea can become so flat."
Thoth pushed up his glasses, looked at the smooth sea surface, and clicked his tongue in amazement.
[Sky]'s starry eyes turned to [Winter], and with a gentle tap of her finger, an air staircase leading directly to the sea appeared in front of the latter.
"Could you please provide us with a place to stay?"
[Winter] Nods gracefully and walks with noble steps to the sea.
Crystal high heels stepped on the water's surface, and the crystal-clear, flawless ice began to spread outwards, freezing everything within sight into a layer of ice in no time.
The group slowly stepped onto it.
Hera stepped on it and found it to be exceptionally sturdy; it could easily support a hundred or so people.
Just as Hera thought this, there was a splash behind her, followed by a struggle to drown.
"Ugh... how come it's ruined as soon as I step on it... *glug glug*..."
[Summer] struggles endlessly in that icy hole, the seawater here begins to evaporate from the scorching heat emanating from it.
The billowing steam enveloped his entire body.
"..."
[Winter] helplessly rubbed his forehead.
【Spring】 looked nervous and went forward to help, but was too scared to get close because of the scalding steam.
"Hehe, that's interesting. I thought you could control your own temperature."
[Sky] smiled faintly, and with a slight flick of its finger, a whirlwind scooped up [Summer].
"Quickly calm down and lower the temperature."
[Winter] said coldly to him.
"I'm incredibly calm!"
As she said this, Spring felt that the temperature around Summer had risen a notch.
Hera stood aside, observing everything expressionlessly, her eyes flickering slightly as she sensed the approaching presence of the [Ocean].
The Sky, standing next to Hera, had the same feeling.
A green orb the size of half a person rose from the sea and drifted to a position less than a meter in front of Hera.
"Buzz buzz buzz—" (We meet again, [Life].)
The language of the ocean, which belonged to the ocean, emanated as the light shimmered slightly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Hera, who was fluent in six languages, nodded.
"Yes, we meet again."
"It's been quite a while since we last met."
The sky drifted by like a ghost, offering a lukewarm greeting.
The relationship between the Sky and the Ocean doesn't seem to be good, or rather, apart from Hera, the Sky doesn't have a good relationship with any of the Five Plagues.
Therefore, [Ocean] simply responded with a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Alright, everyone, now that we're all here, let's get started on the fusion."
Ye Yiqing spoke respectfully, while simultaneously sensing the information conveyed by Ye Ciqing through his eyes.
"The Tree of Terra has been successfully captured; only the [Ultimate] level remains."
As they spoke, the gazes of all four [Five Calamities] fell upon Ye Yiqing.
Suddenly, a sense of oppression, as if he were being stared at by the entire world, enveloped his entire body.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid in this situation, but as the only member of the Light God Society present, Ye Yiqing forced himself to suppress his inner panic and smiled as he spoke.
"Please do it as soon as possible."
The ocean shimmers slightly, "buzzing—" (You really are a peculiar human.)
As he finished speaking, Ye Yiqing could clearly feel the pressure exerted on him disappear completely, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Buzz buzz buzz..." (Alright, I'll take you down now.)
"Buzz buzz buzz—" (Once we merge with the ground, we will be able to become the Ultimate.)
For some reason, Aki, who had no idea what "Ultimate" was, felt inexplicably excited after hearing that she was about to become "Ultimate".
"Buzz buzz buzz—" (Okay, let's go...)
"Wait a moment."
[Ocean] Just as they were about to drag everyone away, Hera called for a stop.
Before the other party could ask any questions, Hera looked in one direction and said, "One of my underlings has arrived."
"But it seems to fly a bit slowly."
[Sky] spoke while gently flapping the wings behind it.
A gust of wind carrying a golden flying insect came rushing towards us.
Hera reacted quickly, grabbing Xiao Huan and holding her in her hand.
He opened his palm and asked with some confusion, "Where's Aikaren? Why did you come by yourself?"
Xiao Huan was a little dizzy from the previous series of actions, but as soon as she saw Hera, she didn't care whether she had recovered or not, and immediately flew up and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"Aikalen is dead!!!"
Hera was taken aback, seemingly not quite understanding what Xiao Huan had just said.
Thoth looked shocked and incredulous.
“Impossible.” Ye Yiqing denied with a solemn expression. “Aikalen has already killed the [Heroic Spirit] and stepped into the highest realm of the previous level. Apart from the [Five Calamities], there is no one who can kill him.”
But his words only made Xiao Huan more agitated.
"No one killed him... he committed suicide!"
Even though Xiao Huan was just an insect, one could hear the immense anger and sorrow in its heart from the intense vibrations of its wings and its hoarse voice.
"It's all your fault!!!"
Before Hera could even ask a question, Xiao Huan charged forward and bumped headfirst into Hera's head.
