Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 727 - 327: Lost Continent (Part 2)

Without relying on the power of the Divine Kingdom, even if he transforms into the Root Knight and even doubles his attributes, it is impossible to drag an entire continent into the sea like the Master of the Deep Sea.

Thinking of this, Wu Chang did not feel a tremor but rather excitement.

If the Great Saint Mother is not just being stubborn, then the Divine Kingdom used by the Master of the Deep Sea is quite ordinary among intermediate gods, which means that the complete Divine Kingdom established by Erin with the Pillar of the Divine Kingdom will also possess or even surpass the power of the current kingdom.

The power to erase a continent with a single move, who wouldn’t be bewildered seeing that.

The appearance of the Lost Continent has not only caused dramatic changes on the sea but also rapidly increased the level of the Peaceful Town plane, directly upgrading from a C-Level replica plane to the Realm of Reason.

The three of them waited in the air for a while, and Wu Chang pointed to the dead continent and said:

"It seems the Master of the Deep Sea is waiting for us to go over."

Upon hearing this, the Great Saint Mother made a move to leave, "Then what are we waiting for?"

Wu Chang stretched out his hand to stop the Great Saint Mother and said:

"According to the internal information I received, the Master of the Deep Sea has a weakness, which is a fear of being hit by ships."

After saying this, Wu Chang looked at the fleet brought by the Great Saint Mother and Archbishop Gelman.

"I wonder if I can borrow your ships. If your followers are afraid of the danger, they can give the ships to the islanders to pilot."

The Great Saint Mother snorted coldly and said:

"Those who can enter the National Church Knight Order are all noble people who adhere to the eight virtues of knighthood, brave and humble, valuing honor above life, and are fearless of sacrifice."

"Asking me if a bunch of islanders like mice can replace them is the greatest insult to them."

Wu Chang shrugged and said, "I can apologize."

The National Church Knight Order is not afraid of death? That’s great. The islanders are Erin’s most steadfast followers, and he really cares about their lives.

The Great Saint Mother was too lazy to speak further with Wu Chang. She raised her palm to the sky, and fierce white flames erupted from her palm, forming a sun-like sacred fire above Briff Island.

As the white sacred fire ascended, the ships parked in the surrounding waters lit up with white lights.

Knights clad in light armor from the National Church Knight Order came onto the deck, kneeled on one knee, right hand clenched into a fist against the left chest, awaiting the divine command of the Great Saint Mother.

The Great Saint Mother, from a face of indifference when facing Wu Chang, instantly switched to a visage full of compassion, and said to everyone:

"My proudest children, the source of disappearing starlight and trembling land and sea originates from the ancient demon awakened from the sea."

"It rises with the Lost Continent from the sea floor, planning to stir a monstrous flood with its evil kin, triggering the catastrophe of world destruction."

"Would you follow me to the place of chaos and evil to slay demons and bring light back to the world?"

The members of the National Church Knight Order responded in unison:

"We wish to become the blade of our Lord, may our Lord’s light illuminate the long night!"

The Great Saint Mother glanced at Wu Chang, and Wu Chang showed a thumbs-up as a sign of praise.

The Great Saint Mother directed the sacred fire, dispersing darkness above the fleet, then said:

"Set off, my proudest children, I will be with you."

A sharp whistle sounded, and within five minutes, the fleet was organized. More than a dozen of the Ogre Kingdom’s most advanced steam steel ships, under the Great Saint Mother’s gathered sacred fire, cut through the night, sailing full speed towards the rising distant continent.

Wu Chang, Erin, and the Great Saint Mother stood on the deck of the flagship "Glory," watching the Lost Continent gradually coming closer.

The Great Saint Mother asked, "Battle may start at any moment, while we have time, do you know of any other weaknesses of the Master of the Deep Sea, speak of them all."

Wu Chang did not hide anything and said, "He is also afraid of death."

The Great Saint Mother’s brow furrowed, giving Wu Chang a look like an elder in the subway with a phone, if you don’t want to say, then don’t—what do you mean he is afraid of death.

"Who isn’t afraid of the true meaning of total death, are you not afraid, or is she not afraid?"

The more powerful a life form, the more it craves evolution and fears death.

Because when an individual becomes powerful enough, especially after activating divinity and becoming a true god, they are no longer bothered or affected by the mortal world.

Except for themselves, nothing else is worth their attention or sacrifice.

The gaze of gods only looks towards the future and themselves, never lingering on other matters.

For this very reason, in the face of temporary death, as long as it achieves their goal, gods can accept it calmly, but in the face of complete death, gods are more fearful than mortals.

As strong as the Miracles Walker from the Abyss Fourth Layer and All-Knowing Crystal, their priority is also resurrection, not anything else.

Fear of death is not considered a weakness of gods.

Wu Chang explained, "He is especially afraid, unwilling to take even a little more risk for it."

Upon hearing this, the Great Saint Mother seemed to gain some insight and fell silent.

A god who is extraordinarily afraid of death to the point of needing to be emphasized, if not due to nature, there is only one possibility: what they need to protect is more important than their life.

They dare not die, and cannot die.

The fleet sailed through the night sea for about twenty minutes, and as they entered the waters surrounding the Lost Continent, a dense fog began to spread around.

The recent battle with the Merman tribe has provided experience for the National Church Knight Order and navy members, who immediately entered combat status and tossed large clumps of smoldering Water Bitter Grass into the surrounding sea.

Water Bitter Grass can inhibit fish perception and cause suffocation to some extent. After processing through alchemy, it is also effective on mermen, forcing them to surface prematurely in the water, making it easier to shoot them.
