Chapter 646: Chapter 363: The Shattered Five Great Seas (Double-Length)
Its body, apart from having a human shape, shows no other human characteristics, similar to those believers.
If nothing else happens.
Such eerie scenes will continue day after day, until there is no one left alive in the Five Great Seas.
But, accompanied by a piercing scream.
A gigantic half-corpse scepter wobbled back to this place.
Countless blood worms extended from the blood pool, devouring it.
A moment later, the blood worms in the blood pool began to wriggle frantically, and the large kneeling statue, covering its face, slowly began to move.
Then, the appearance of the blood worms began to change, shedding their original crimson hue.
They began to form human skin, clothing, facial features, and even nails, all replicating the appearance of humans.
Before long, a tall figure nearly three meters tall, holding a scepter and wearing a white bishop’s robe, stepped out of the blood pool.
This person slightly turned their head, looking towards the outskirts of the island.
Boom——
Azure lightning flashed, illuminating a giant ship with an unusually eye-catching flag on it.
In an instant, all the believers stopped chanting, shed their clothes, and their forms transformed into endless blood-colored worms, converging together.
Thud——
Soon, a massive white giant dragon appeared behind this person, with heavy steps.
From a distance, it appeared to be a person and a giant dragon.
But upon closer inspection, one could see the lines on their skin that couldn’t be concealed, formed by countless worms pieced together.
Gurgle gurgle...
Black tide, resembling oil, appeared from nowhere and began to spread gradually.
"Roar——"
One after another, pitch-black terrifying creatures struggled out from the black tide, emitting terrifying roars that chilled the heart.
The sky was also coated with a layer of black.
Purple flames were completely extinguished.
A moment later, a voice slowly echoed around.
"Senwell... it’s been a long time."
A calm voice accompanied by a terrifying oppressive feeling struck together.
Within the black tide, tentacles extended and wrapped around the dragon formed from worms like a snake.
The next moment, the tentacles suddenly tightened, the dragon howled, and then shattered into pieces, countless worms escaping from the fragments of the corpse, coming behind Senwell.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar man before him, Senwell fell into silence.
He couldn’t imagine how Rogel had surpassed him so quickly in such a short time and even become so powerful, beyond a level he could comprehend...
Rogel curiously glanced at the worm between his fingers, then chuckled softly.
"The walkers within the tide... refers to monsters like you, being considered their kind, right?"
Rogel chuckled, exerting slight force with his fingers, crushing the worm he held: "A good idea, just a bit repulsive."
"Let me ask you a few questions then."
"If you wish to retain some dignity in your final moments, answer truthfully."
He spoke slowly.
Hearing Rogel’s words, Senwell remained silent for a while.
"...Go ahead and ask."
He clearly understood the gap between himself and Rogel.
Moreover, looking at the other’s demeanor, it was apparent he was fearless; even if he withheld the information, it didn’t matter to him at all.
Given this, it was better to answer his questions, at least to have some dignity in his final moments as he said.
Perhaps this was the peace in absolute despair.
"What is your relation with the Mother Goddess of the Sea of Confession?"
"Subordinate."
After hearing Senwell’s reply, Rogel nodded thoughtfully.
Senwell before him was clearly a Faithful Creature akin to Black Bone.
He was subordinate to the Mother Goddess and naturally established the Mother Goddess Church in the Five Great Seas to absorb faith.
"Then why did you come to the Five Great Seas?"
"To escape." Senwell responded: "As Her subordinate, it’s worse than death."
"Why?" Rogel was somewhat puzzled.
"...She controls everything, including minds."
Senwell’s words made Rogel frown slightly.
No wonder even the Kizi God sought to escape and tried to kill her when she fell into a dormant state.
Such control was intolerable to a normal Faithful Creature.
"Then what was your original purpose for coming here?"
"To gather strength and heal..." Senwell’s eyelids drooped: "Also, to find a chance to use the uniqueness of the Five Great Seas to escape Her control."
"Uniqueness?"
At this point, Senwell didn’t answer further but instead closed his eyes.
"Do it."
Seeing him like this.
Rogel didn’t continue to question.
Slightly raising his hand, the black tide enveloped him.
On the outer edge of the black tide.
A terrifying thunderstorm suddenly struck down from the sky, its violent aura sweeping across the entire island.
What followed was a towering wave hundreds of meters high, as if seeking to completely cleanse all the filth on this island...
...
On the Gelin.
Although Rogel allowed Senwell to leave with some dignity as promised, he didn’t waste Senwell’s body.
Of course, don’t misunderstand.
By not wasting, Rogel meant retrieving Senwell’s memories.
After all, saving some Power of Faith should be prioritized.
"..."
After learning everything about Senwell, Rogel couldn’t help but shake his head.
Due to the difference in intellect, Angpumendis, who came with Senwell, was completely used as a pawn and had been long dead.
Although Senwell’s original form in the church had also been destroyed by Rogel, he used a treasure on himself.
This allowed him to survive in this manner, with a chance to further achieve his goal—escaping the control of the Mother Goddess.
However, the probability of achieving this goal was also extremely low.
And this was related to the uniqueness of the Five Great Seas.
But even Senwell didn’t fully understand this; he only inferred such a possibility using some half-learned divination skill.
Yet this faint possibility was enough for Senwell to willingly risk everything in its pursuit.
It showed how unbearable the control of the Mother Goddess was.
No wonder subordinates of this nature were rebelling, escaping, and even some, like the Eye of Dusk, going mad to the point of attempting to ’create a world without the Mother Goddess’...
"Next, let’s head to Ozulik."
Rogel took a deep breath and said.
Aside from this matter, there were two other things he needed to do.
First, head to the Mysterious Rift and find Old Medicine Ding.
Speaking of Old Medicine Ding, Rogel couldn’t help but recall its past request for help finding its kin outside the Five Great Seas.
Rogel certainly hadn’t forgotten this task.
Unfortunately, for now, even Rogel, who often traversed the border mist, hadn’t heard or seen any news or clues about Yao Ding’s clan.
Yao Ding’s tribe might no longer exist, or it might be in some unknown corner...
However, no matter the case, since Rogel had returned to the Five Great Seas, he naturally had to visit Old Medicine Ding.
Secondly, it was to find out the cause of the massive tide formation in the Five Great Seas.
This matter, Rogel could also infer the answer to, but if he were to deduce it entirely, the required Power of Faith would be unaffordable for him.
Therefore, even with adjustments, it was difficult to gain the full picture, only partial deductions could be made.
And the result of the partial deductions pointed to a boundary in the Five Great Seas.
He believed that after heading there, he would obtain some explanations he sought...
"The Five Great Seas have become like this now..."
Hearing Rogel’s words, Mira closed her notebook, with a hint of worry in her eyes, and sighed slightly: "I hope Kadi is okay..."
Hearing Mira’s words, the others couldn’t help but think of the trainee of the Gelin, now the King of Ozulik...
Hearing Mira’s words, Rogel also fell silent for a moment.
As a demigod wielding powerful faith, he could naturally infer some answers to events.
He naturally had known about Kadi’s situation.
The former intern was still alive, but...
