Chapter 245: Chapter 10: Demons Descend Upon the World
Su Zhou’s voice made them think some drastic, abnormal change was happening among the Sea Beasts, and they subconsciously prepared to launch a saturation strike.
"Can’t you see them?" Su Zhou asked subconsciously. But on second thought, ’If it weren’t for Yara’s Undying Blood, my Spiritual Eye probably wouldn’t be at its current level. It’s normal for ordinary Transcendents to be unable to see those hazy streams of light.’ He immediately changed his tune. "No, stand down for now."
Taking a deep breath, Su Zhou calmed himself. He then gathered all his strength and unleashed a ’Wide Area Discharge’ at the surrounding clusters of Sea Beasts, which were gradually spiraling out of control.
BOOM! Cyan-blue lightning erupted from Su Zhou’s body. The electricity, originating from the method of the Thunder Marsh Inheritance and bursting forth from his very cells, surged into the seawater. It mingled with Su Zhou’s furious Suppression, spreading out evenly to cover the entire area.
SPLASH! Instantly, all the Sea Beasts calmed down. The ones closer were likely stunned by the electricity, but even the most distant ones were no longer agitated by the sudden fluctuation of Spiritual Qi. Some of the dolphins even let out whimpering cries after being shocked, as if playing pitiful.
Even the Sea Beasts that had already become Evil Demons—or to put it another way, transformed into the Celestial God’s Favored Clan—also obeyed Su Zhou for some unknown reason, showing no signs of defiance.
"Even as members of the Celestial God’s Favored Clan, they don’t necessarily have to resist when they encounter a High Tier member of another Clan."
Yara explained with a laugh, "You’re already at the Extraordinary Tier. Since there isn’t a higher-tiered member of their own kind forcing them to fight you, why would they insist on making an enemy of you? After all, with intelligence comes a better understanding of the situation and the stakes."
"However, it seems the mere title of Sea King no longer suits you. Since you can command so many members of the Celestial God’s Favored Clan, your title should be upgraded to ’Sea Emperor’ at the very least."
Su Zhou just smiled nonchalantly at Yara’s teasing. "It’s all the same. I’ll be dealing with fish either way."
Seeing that Su Zhou could indeed suppress the numerous Sea Beasts, the fleet was no longer on high alert. And with the fleet’s report, the official assessment of Su Zhou’s control over the Sea Beasts rose another level.
If nothing else, after this incident, the government would probably give Su Zhou a proper, official title of Dragon King.
The Spiritual Qi Burst was now gradually coming to an end. The delicate rain of Spiritual Qi from the sky was no longer as intense as it had been at the start, having now become much gentler.
But just as Su Zhou and everyone else thought the anomaly was about to be over for good...
Suddenly, the unexpected occurred.
BUZZ— A soft hum resonated, as if the other side of the rift had sensed some kind of pull.
Instantly, a far greater torrent of light and mist, like the Emperor’s Liquid, poured down from the rift in the Seal.
But this time, their targets were major coastal cities all across the globe!
The West Coast of the American Federation, the eastern coast of East Japan, the Zhengguo South Sea, the Southeastern Coastal Countries, Zhu Country’s South Sea, the coast of the Olanxi United Federation, and both sides of the English Channel in the European Union... The surging torrents of light seemed to lock onto these seven major regions—seven densely populated coastal areas—and then, like a torrential downpour, they came crashing down!
But this time, the Order Array seemed to have malfunctioned. It showed no reaction, letting them fall unimpeded!
"What’s going on?!"
In an instant, a chill shot up from the base of Su Zhou’s spine and straight to his brain. His eyes flew wide as he watched hundreds of streaks of light crisscross the sky, heading straight into the nearest coastal city.
"Wait!" Suddenly, his mind reeled as a flood of memories returned. Su Zhou frantically asked in his mind, ’Yara—can humans become hosts for Evil Demons?!’
He didn’t wait for an answer, shaking his head violently in self-reproach. ’Damn it, of course they can! What a stupid question!’
’Back in Hongcheng, that man named Li Zhi, the one possessed by the Dusk True Demon—hadn’t he become a host for an Evil Demon?! I just managed to take him out before his transformation was complete!’
’What’s going on? What power allowed the energy of these Great Beings to bypass the Order Array?’
Without the slightest hesitation, Su Zhou pressed the earpiece on his left ear. He immediately requested a direct line to the Central Committee to report the anomaly he was witnessing.
"Chaos is about to break out in these coastal cities!"
