On the deck.
Among the clinking of glasses, Su Lu seemed to sense the mobilization of the world’s many marine fleets. Once again, humans had launched a surprise assault. Countless monsters were exterminated, and numerous professionals sacrificed, becoming offerings to the God of Death and the God of War–if the two existed.
With the mass outbreak of war, the vessels of the high-level professionals weren’t drawing much attention.
Zap!
As he was holding his wine glass, preparing to chat with Han Fan, storm clouds covered the sky, and a flash of lightning flickered.
Accompanied by the lightning, a figure fell directly onto the deck.
Dozens of flying figures were also falling from the sky towards them.
“Oh, if it isn’t the Spirit King? I apologize for having stolen your ranking!”
The figure, illuminated by the lightning, stood up. Seeing Su Lu, a smug grin spread over his face.
While the media depicted Tony, the Thunder God, as an indomitable figure wielding a sword single-handedly, his real personality was that of a wealthy playboy who was never shy about boasting.
Su Lu was used to it already, his expression not revealing the slightest ripple of emotion.
“Oh, my friend… it’s not like you. You will have people thinking that you are suffering from facial muscular stiffness…” Tony casually picked up a cocktail. “Such a good party, blue sky, white clouds… it would be even better if a group of bikini-clad beauties joined, wouldn’t it? Professor, don’t you want a drink?”
“Sorry, I’m not fond of alcoholic beverages.”
Next to Tony, there was a bald, white-haired old man whose eyes were as clear as the blue sky, as though he could see directly into people’s souls.
He was ‘the Professor’, a Master of Mind Force who was even more powerful than Zi.
Aside him was a seductive young girl with sensuous lips, bright eyes, fiery red hair. She had already joined the party following a whistle invitation.
“Hmm…”
Upon seeing this, Zi helplessly covered her forehead.
In contrast to the professionals of the Summer Country, these western heroes appeared more like problem youths. Their overly flamboyant personalities left others speechless.
“Headmaster, it’s been a while.”
A young man in his twenties, garbed in a luxurious purple-and-gold robe, respectfully bowed to Su Lu.
“Gill…”
Su Lu smiled, “Your Royal Magic Instructor Academy is quite impressive. Keep up the good work.”
“It’s my mission…and my duty…” Gill laughed brightly, “Although, in the beginning, I considered naming it ‘Hogwarts’.”
Su Lu had nothing to say to this ardent fan.
However, just then, Zi had a brief discussion with Tony and confirmed the next step of their journey.
“Ladies and gentlemen!”
Her gaze swept over all the powerful figures present, her tone firm, “I believe everyone is already aware of our mission this time. We absolutely cannot allow the Surfing Fishmen, a Wise Race that has consistently harbored ill will towards humans, to establish a kingdom and become the ruler of the seas!”
“Let me add something…”
Tony raised a finger, behaving flamboyantly, “Thanks to the hero squad, we’ve cleared up several obstacles along the following route, including a 300-meter long sea snake…By the way, it tastes fantastic.”
“Ahem…”
Zi coughed and continued, “I’d also like to thank the western heroes who’ve cooperated with us. At least before we arrive in the Surfing Fishmen’s territory, our path will be smooth sailing. Now, prepare to descend.”
Inside the command room.
Huang Minghao took a deep breath.
Even if he fostered some ill intentions towards Bai Jing, he had no intention of causing trouble at this critical juncture.
At this time, any human should be supporting the destruction of the Surfing Fish King.
“Submerge!”
Following the command, a series of alchemic symbols began to gleam around the magical variant of the battleship. They formed a transparent light film resembling a soap bubble.
The enormous vessel immediately began to submerge, diving beneath the sea.
As the ship continued to dive deeper, the pressure around them grew increasingly severe. If it had been ordinary people, they might not have been able to handle it.
However, everyone on board was equipped with a professional level, enabling them to endure.
This ‘Enchantment Science’ tech was developed in the new century’s 9th year by western countries. Since they also possessed the Ancient God’s Mystery Treasure, they could research many things.
The emergence of this technology led to a revolutionary change in the field of materials.
Moreover, it deeply influenced other industries, such as aerospace.
If not for the contribution of top enchantment talents, it would not have been possible with the pre-existing science and technology to construct a self-sustaining forward base on the moon.
“Wow, no matter how many times you see it, this view is far better than simply staying inside a submarine.”
Tony raised his wine glass, “Long live mankind! Now…let’s continue the banquet.”
Zi rolled her eyes, not bothering to argue with him.
“This truly is incredible…”
Su Lu stood by the semi-transparent partition, carefully observing everything around him, “The combination of magic and science really does yield spectacular results… It seems like I’m witnessing a completely different path from the Main World’s…and it possesses immense potential.”
His heart teemed with joy.
In a sense, this could be considered part of his future wealth.
…
In the deep sea, within a trench.
The seabed rocks had been roughly chiseled, managing to take on a rudimentary form of a statue.
Gangs of Surfing Fishmen patrolled the areas nearby.
They were a fusion of human and fish, with human limbs and gills on their necks. Their appearance was ferocious with scales primarily in shades of emerald green and navy blue.
A large number of Fish People lived here, barely managing to resemble the primitive human tribal existence.
Outside of this gathering place, monstrously large and fearsome Sea Beast Emperors stationed.
They lay quietly there, seemingly guarding this territory.
At the heart of the trench, inside a palace.
“Great King… our eight tribes in the other waters have come under attack from humans.”
A Fish Person reported to the golden Fish Person on the throne.
This palace was constructed in the heavy style of ancient Rome. It appeared to be a marble temple submerged underwater, surrounded by numerous Fish People murals, imbuing it with a primitive and rough atmosphere.
Even the same enchantment technology had been applied in the surroundings, keeping at bay the vast ocean waters and creating a piece of land at the sea floor.
The figure on the throne was a towering Fish Person King whose scales were golden, larger than ordinary Fish People.
“The humans have attacked our kingdom again.”
He boomed, “We, the Surfing Fishmen, are not only rulers of the ocean but also of the land. You see… we can completely survive on land… A battle with humans is inevitable. But I already know their plot. We are the favored children of the sea. In mother ocean’s embrace, no human can defeat us.”
The golden Fishman King stood up, “The storm of the sea will destroy everything!”
