Chapter 149 Polluting the Ocean
New York County.
Vinnie, who was leading the Executive Department and the Supervisory Department to handle a terrorist attack, felt a throbbing in her heart. She suddenly looked up and saw purple clouds densely packed in the sky, rolling and spreading like thick smoke, blocking the sunlight.
The entire city was plunged into darkness.
Including Vinnie·Berlunt, both the law-abiding and evil camps simultaneously felt a terrible pressure, and an extreme fear arose in their hearts.
This fear quickly dissipated, and the pressure from the sky disappeared.
Before the law-abiding and evil professionals present could breathe a sigh of relief, they once again felt a strong palpitation and looked pale towards the direction of New York Harbor.
Something terrible was approaching the harbor.
The giant island stopped a dozen kilometers outside the harbor. A white man in a black suit and white shirt walked out of the dense forest and came to the beach on the edge of the island.
He looked at the harbor for a few seconds, untied his tie, took off his shiny leather boots and suit, and neatly folded them on the beach. Then, naked, he walked along the beach and into the ocean.
In the jungle behind him, scaled strange birds, three-headed giant bears, snakes with gorgeous faces, nine-tailed white tigers... hundreds of thousands of mutated monsters rushed out like a tide, throwing themselves into the man's body one after another.
The man absorbed the mutated monsters as he walked towards the deep sea. With each step he took, his body grew taller and taller, and at the same time, pairs of eyes and pairs of arms grew out. His golden short hair turned into hissing, spitting vipers.
He walked further and further away, his body becoming more and more swollen. The monsters in the ocean also gathered one after another, turning themselves into a part of him.
Before long, the man turned into a Smoker several hundred feet tall. The sea only reached his waist. Pus flowed from his swollen body, staining the sea black.
He slowly walked through this sea area, landed in New York Harbor, and walked towards the grand cathedral that worshiped the sea god "Poseidon".
The moment the Smoker landed at the harbor, hundreds of thousands of tons of seawater rushed into the sky from deep within the spire of the church, like a grand fountain.
These fountains did not fall, and some condensed into giants hundreds of feet tall, while others condensed into magnificent chariots drawn by eight fine steeds.
The hundred-foot giant wore a crown and a leather skirt. His naked upper body was covered with cyan-black scales. He had a thick beard and fin ears. He held a gem-blue trident in his hand.
The trident was not condensed from seawater. It was a genuine demigod-level item, one of the administrator permissions.
The trident was made of unknown treasure-blue steel and inlaid with colorful gems, exuding power amidst its magnificence.
The giant gently tapped the trident and erected a barrier that covered the entire headquarters of the church.
The Smoker's advance was blocked outside the barrier.
At this moment, the sky seemed to turn into a huge mirror, and a world that was the same as reality but completely upside down appeared in the mirror.
That world slowly descended and squeezed together with the real world.
Space began to shatter, and the barrier that enveloped the Sea God Church persisted for a few seconds before falling apart.
The Twisted Realm!
A tall, white-haired old man appeared in the plaza of the Sea God Church. He held a goblet in his hand and said with a smile:
"Sea Emperor, how can you refuse an old friend at the door! I'm more generous than you. I'm here to invite the friends of the Sea God Church for a drink."
He drank the red wine in his glass and then "poofed" it out.
Mist-like wine vapor spread out and surged towards every corner of the Sea God Church. The wind could not blow it away, and water could not stop it.
The church members who had hidden inside the church, whether they were transcendent, saints, or dominators, swayed, staggered, and fell one after another, drunk and unconscious.
"Woo woo..."
A shrill wind blew, and two figures in black robes swept in from afar. Wherever they passed, the ordinary citizens of New York County died silently. Their spirits were extracted from their bodies and swept up by a mysterious force, following behind the black-robed figures.
Transparent spirits wandered in the sky, wailing and howling, as if hell had descended.
Immediately afterwards, the Fear Heavenly King of the Soldiers Sect and the two demigods of the Wugushi arrived one after another, manifesting the war god with three heads and eight arms and the Gu Dragon with its claws and teeth bared.
These huge, terrifying powerhouses lined up in all directions, with the Sea Emperor holding the trident in the middle.
The Sea Emperor raised the trident high and roared like thunder:
"You will all be buried in the ocean!"
On the sea surface of New York Harbor, a figure in a wine-red suit appeared out of thin air, overlooking the dark and turbid sea surface, overlooking the sea surface teeming with mutated monsters, and cursing:
"Damn it, that immoral bastard is polluting the ocean."
"Ling Tuo, you bastard, you're going to punish the heavens first and then destroy the Sea God, huh? Wait until I cultivate the Sun Lord, and then we'll join forces to skin you alive."
While complaining, suddenly, the dark and turbid sea surface began to ripple, like a bowl of soup that wasn't held steady. At the end of the horizon, a line of white waves surged towards the harbor.
Those were hundred-meter-high waves.
A tsunami was coming!
President Zhang was startled and immediately looked at New York County, which was shrouded in a barrier, and muttered, "The Sea Emperor has been forced into a desperate situation... this formation, even summoning a succubus won't work."
Obviously, the Sea Emperor wanted to set off a tsunami to break through the barrier, turn the city into his home field, and then use the power of the ocean to contend with the evil camp.
However, in this way, more than eight million lives in New York County would inevitably be drowned.
"Damn it! I can only go to The Way of the Extraordinary to call for reinforcements." President Zhang gritted his teeth and snapped his fingers, teleporting away.
Even though the Nine Elders had weathered many storms and seen the ups and downs of the political world, they couldn't help but feel like their chairs were burning their butts when they heard the news.
The Grand Elder of the Red Fire Gang even slammed the table and stood up, shocked:
"The evil camp is hunting the Sea Emperor?! The Five Alliance Leaders are not in reality, what can we do?"
What could they do? This question also flashed through the minds of the Nine Elders. If it was just one demigod, they might grit their teeth and join forces, but with the simultaneous appearance of multiple demigods, even the peak dominators could not intervene.
Sending anyone would be a waste.
The Sword Pavilion Grand Elder of the White Tiger Soldiers smiled wryly:
"First, seal the Wind and Thunder Twin Gods, then restrain the Five Alliance Leaders and the Master of the Taiyi Sect in The Way of the Extraordinary. Seven or eight out of ten law-abiding demigods are gone. Then, gather our strength to hunt the Sea Emperor. Ling Tuo has calculated well, very well."
As a peak dominator with the profession of scout, he quickly analyzed the evil camp's step-by-step plan, one link after another, with conspiracy and strategy complementing each other.
Fu Qingyang immediately asked, "Contact the Sea God Church and continue to monitor the situation."
The female clerk shook her head repeatedly, anxiously:
"We can't contact them. We can't reach the Heavenly Punishment, the Sea God Church, or the Beauty God Association in New York County. The entire city is shrouded in a barrier."
The peak dominators present couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling. The entire city was shrouded in a barrier, and it had become a battlefield for demigods. The population of New York County, more than eight million, was very likely to become a sacrifice in the demigod war.
Throughout human history, this was a major event that could rank in the top three.
And such a situation might continue to play out in the future.
The conference room fell silent.
Suddenly, the communicator beside Fu Qingyang rang, and his cold face visibly brightened. "It's the Marshal's call."
Under the joyful gaze of the Nine Elders, Fu Qingyang picked up the phone and answered.
"Ling Tuo swallowed the Merit List. Moral values have disappeared. I'll give you three seconds to report the situation outside." Fu Qingxuan's cold and stern voice came.
Fu Qingyang said in a deep voice, "Order has collapsed, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, like the Middle East."
"Understood!" Fu Qingxuan said, "The Void Demigod brought us out. He told us that the evil demigods have gathered in New York County to besiege the Sea Emperor."
Fu Qingyang frowned, "Has the problem inside The Way of the Extraordinary been resolved?"
"We can't worry about that anymore. Ling Tuo's purpose has been achieved. It's meaningless for us to stay in The Way of the Extraordinary any longer. Besides, The Way of the Extraordinary has a strong ability to self-repair. It will recover after a while. Rescuing the Sea Emperor is the most important thing." The Marshal's tone was extremely annoyed:
"Really, I bought a hot milk tea this morning, and now it's cold and I haven't even had a sip."
Fu Qingyang said expressionlessly, "I'm in a meeting!"
Fu Qingxuan changed her tone, "I saw you were too nervous, so I was just joking."
After speaking, she hung up the phone directly.
In The Way of the Extraordinary world, having lost the stability of the Five Emperors Dharma Idols, the black round moon once again began to devour the instances. Star-like instances disappeared into the "black hole."
These instances did not disappear, but were "blocked" by the administrator, similar to a game's server shutdown announcement.
During the blocking period, players who entered would not receive any rewards or quests, and the same was true for players who had already entered the instances.
To put it bluntly, the instances were disconnected from The Way of the Extraordinary "host."
At the edge of The Way of the Extraordinary world, the Third Dao Mountain Goddess had no choice but to leave the instance and travel the sea of stars. She retreated all the way to the distant border, frowning as she watched the sea of stars turn into a vortex, the center of which was that giant celestial body.
The Third Dao Mountain Goddess was not worried about The Way of the Extraordinary collapsing. She was worried about her disciples who had entered the Killing Instance.
Once the Killing Instance was swallowed into the Moon, Yuan Shi's advancement to Dominator would be hopeless, and he would most likely be sealed within the Killing Instance.
Suddenly, a figure outlined beside her, shrouded in golden light, with blurred features.
The Third Dao Mountain Goddess tilted her head to look at him, her expression strange:
"Why are you here again?"
She sized up the golden figure, "Your power is almost exhausted."
The man sighed, "It's not easy to eke out an existence for so long. When my power is exhausted, I will completely return to The Way of the Extraordinary. Before that, I will complete the last thing. Goddess, my promise to you is still valid, but you have to find him to redeem it."
After saying that, his body disintegrated, turning into golden light dust that scattered.
"Buzz!"
Little Yuan flapped her wings, stirring up a strong wind. In the blink of an eye, she rushed to the Wugushi statue and reached out her palm to touch the divine idol.
The system notification sounded in her ears again.
Without any hesitation, she paid the points and chose to fuse.
The next second, the stone skin on the surface of the divine idol faded away, turning into a light-like phantom that automatically attached itself to Little Yuan's back.
Little Yuan raised her head and shrieked, her eyes scarlet red, black magic patterns appearing on her black and yellow skin, and black dust-like substances spewing from her mouth.
These substances wrapped around her, like countless tiny flying insects.
Her eyes receded under her skin, and a ghostly blue vertical pupil split open on her forehead.
Blinding ghostly light shot out, and the entire shrine was instantly filled with an aura of depravity and filth.
The spiritual power of the four divine idols plummeted.
