Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Deep Sea Brotherhood

Watching the noble youth transform into a red streak shooting across the sky.

Aiven fell into deep thought.

Having long since moved beyond being a novice in the supermundane, Aiven, by reflecting on the images and the dialogue between the opposing parties, could easily deduce their identities.

“Heh, they’re both figures standing at the pinnacle of the mundane world!”

The gigantic sea monster suspected to be the “Sea God’s Son,” Tien Kute, is the vice president of the “Deep Sea Brotherhood.” This organization is essentially a cult group active across the Black Sea region, worshiping Echet, the “Mother of Sea Monsters” of the Black Sea.

In the philosophy of the “Deep Sea Brotherhood,” during the distant ancient times, humans and other beings were all birthed from the sea’s predecessor, the “Soup of Life.”

However, after a lengthy evolution, humans who ascended to live on land betrayed their origins!

As they rejected the sea, they were thoroughly deprived by the Creator of their right to live in seawater, and began to fear the deep sea from the depths of their hearts.

Yet, worshipping the “Mother of Sea Monsters,” Echet, allowed them to return to the womb and gain eternal life in the vast and bountiful sea occupying ninety percent of this world.

To the civilized nations and major churches, such doctrines are simplistic and absurd!

Yet they attract many residents living along the coast who make a living from the Black Sea, developing rapidly. Perhaps the followers may not care deeply about whether they can achieve immortality, but at least they no longer worry about sea monster attacks and can catch more fish.

Exchanging faith for benefits, their thinking is simple and sincere.

In fact, upheld by supermundane scholars’ verification, devout believers gradually draw closer to the ocean under the Mother of Sea Monsters’ call, and even undergo a transformation in appearance, embarking on a supermundane path known as “Sea Monsters.”

Those with excellent qualities will eventually complete a metamorphosis, transforming entirely from human to a true sea monster while retaining their original wisdom and memory, naturally becoming the backbone of the “Deep Sea Brotherhood.”

Unlike most sea monsters born with low intelligence, they can instead earn more favor from the Mother of Sea Monsters.

However, after scholars’ investigation.

After conversion, adherents not only undergo changes in life form but have a revolutionary difference in worldview, cognition, and thinking compared to ordinary humans, such that from body to soul, they have already become another kind of intelligent being.

Most critically, they harbor irreparable hostility towards terrestrial creatures, especially humans, aiming to annihilate all land creatures besides the “Mother of Sea Monsters” followers.

They are the archetypal evil figures in the secret force actions code of various kingdoms and churches, who can be slain without negotiation on the spot!

Moreover, although the “Deep Sea Brotherhood” is only a regional evil god cult, it has been extremely active in recent years, continually driving sea monsters to attack coastal nations. The sea monster incident reported by the “Silver Wings” previously drew attention from the kingdom’s high levels, suspecting that the recent frequent nearshore sea monster intrusion events were related to them.

Some even speculate that their unusually active actions might be probing or searching for something within the human world. Otherwise, even cultists of the evil god, known for their craziness, aren’t likely to engage in such meaningless activities year after year.

The real reason Aiven also does not know.

What he does know is that, as the vice president of such an evil god cult organization, undoubtedly a Tier 4 powerhouse, Tien Kute is a hundred thousand times more dangerous than the leader of any terrorist organization from his previous life!

“If I come across such a monster on the sea, could I escape?” To this, Aiven deeply doubts.

The other figure, the renowned “Rose Sword Saint,” is far more famous than Tien Kute, a household name not only in Phaletis but also among the six countries of the “Tulip Alliance.”

In the supermundane realm, he is one of the two openly known Tier 4 guardians of the Phaletis Kingdom, the founder of the “Rose Swordsmanship” school.

In the secular realm, he is a prince of Phaletis Kingdom, the late queen’s husband, and the father of the contemporary queen.

Every title is illustrious!

The powerful swordsman, True Name Ilvendi, has reached the titled knight of the fourth tier of the knight’s path, and due to his supermundane mastery of swordsmanship, his title is “Rose Sword Saint!”

Although he appears to be a handsome noble youth, referencing his daughter, the reigning queen, who just celebrated her sixtieth birthday, his true age may be near a hundred years.

A true old monster in every sense.

It’s worth noting, the “Tulip Alliance” as the favored land of the “Queen and Goddess of Navigation,” has the most female rulers on the entire continent.

Phaletis has had queens reigning for two consecutive generations, and it’s foreseeable that the next generation will inevitably be the same, as the current queen has only two princesses…

This “Rose Sword Saint” is their most powerful guarantee to secure their thrones.

However, all this is too distant for someone like Aiven, an Official Knight.

The two individuals battling today, either of them towering giants at the pinnacle of supermundane, witnessing combat at such a safe distance is priceless for an extraordinary like Aiven on the knight’s path.

This is his greatest takeaway today.

When Aiven snapped back and once again looked at the sky, nothing was out of the ordinary, except for the magnificent sword mark, kilometers long, lingering in the sky!

Yet for the officers and soldiers on the supply ship unfamiliar with the course of events, they had no mood for appreciating this spectacular sight, rare in a century.

“Weigh anchor! Let’s leave here quickly while the rain subsides.”

The captain, Edlin, and the chief navigator were somewhat tense; the phenomena in the sky and the monstrous cries had them convinced their supply ship was caught in an unknown dispute.

In the world involving the extraordinary, knowing how to restrain one’s curiosity is the quintessential rule for survival, especially for officers in such retirement posts like them.

Though Aiven knew there might be Tier 4 powerhouse scorns left on that battlefield, treasures to ordinary extraordinary beings, he did not oppose Edlin’s decision.

One reason was that convincing Edlin was too challenging; there was no suitable reason to have them risk death to explore secrets with him.

Second, he was unsure if those “battlefield remnants” still posed danger; after all, even a drop of blood from a Level 4 powerhouse might prove too hazardous to handle for an ordinary knight newly stepping into the extraordinary.

The supply ship continued its voyage, leaving this aside for now.

After the ocean giant beast Tien Kute transformed into dived into the outer sea, it entered a deep “Blue Cave” suddenly appearing on the seabed. Moments later, it appeared a thousand miles away, alongside a bizarre small island.

Whoosh–

The “Giant Whale” surfaced again, transforming back into human form, and Tien Kute landed on this island deep in the Black Sea.

The island had not a single tree; amongst the rocky wilderness were scattered enormous sculptures of all sorts of marine creatures, like whales, conchs, anemones, octopuses… Every known marine creature could find a template here, and beyond that, even more entities far beyond human comprehension existed.

Just like a sculptural marine museum.

However, each marine creature sculpture bore shells and tentacles, exuding an indescribable, sinister, and bizarre aura, inspiring awe and dread in those who beheld them!
