Chapter 21: A Little Dregs

“...... My name, Poseidon!"

As soon as Karl's words fell, in an instant, a purple thunder fell from the sky in the dark clouds outside the cabin.

Lightning struck the ornate roof of the Black Pearl's captain's quarters, creating a blackened hole in the wooden roof.

In the captain's quarters, Carl clearly felt something unusual coming down the thunderbolt towards his body.

Without having time to think about it, Karl instinctively manipulated the magic power of his whole body to resist this strange substance that suddenly came to him.

"Don't say no, accept it!"

Poseidon's voice sounded in his ears again.

But this time, Carl didn't do what he was told.

Unleash your magic to the fullest, forming a magical realm around your body that is almost completely isolated, and the strange mass that fell from the sky is imprisoned in the realm.

"Boy, take it!"

Poseidon's voice was a little hurried.

"I promise you, boy, it's good for you!"

As he spoke, the strange substance seemed to be alive, desperately burrowing into Carl's confined realm.

Now, Carl didn't dare to let it get closer.

However, at this moment, the black pool of water in his consciousness, which had been as calm as an abyss, suddenly boiled.

Just like when people are hungry, the stomach will give the brain instructions to eat, making people want to eat, at this time, Carl's mind is full of the desire to devour, and the goal of devouring is self-evident.

As soon as Carl's will was relieved, the magical realm that spread all around his body disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, like magnets and magnets, the strange mass of matter that desperately wanted to get closer to him was unhindered, and it was absorbed towards Carl's body with lightning speed.

In the blink of an eye, the mass of matter followed his body and into his body.

Poseidon seemed relieved and let out a long sigh, and then, somewhat angrily, he said to Karl, "Boy, do you know what you almost rejected just now!!"

"What?" Karl asked.

To be honest, he didn't feel any difference.

"Humph!"

With a heavy snort, Poseidon ignored him.

His voice became solemn, serious and high-sounding.

"I, the lord of all seas and rivers, the god of the sea, Poseidon, bestow on the white-haired boy of the nether realm the privilege of me, become my agent, temporarily exercise my authority, and walk the mortal world for me......"

With each utterance, Poseidon's voice increased by a point, and at last even the sky and the sea trembled with the voice.

Opposite Karl, Barbossa and Jack, who were still staring at the big hole at the top of the captain's room that had been opened by lightning with a painful face, were immediately startled.

They couldn't hear Poseidon, but they could feel the sea and the sky just as well.

They slammed the door open and walked out of the captain's quarters and onto the deck outside the cabin.

I saw that in the black oppressive clouds, countless lightning bolts were like silver snakes dancing wildly, and the Black Pearl under his feet seemed to become a small sampan in the waves, rising and falling violently with the turbulent waves, as if it would capsize at any time.

"What are you waiting for, fools, raise the sails and lower the anchor!"

Barbossa didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly commanded a group of pirates to deal with the huge storm.

In the captain's cabin, the wind poured into the room through the open door, but Carl paid no attention to the changes in the outside world.

He was trying to find out what had happened to his body when the strange mass had entered his body.

At this moment, somehow, Poseidon's voice suddenly became frightened.

"Hell, boy...... What the hell is that you have on you?!"

......

Carl had never seen the black pool of water in his consciousness look like it does today.

Like a large pot of boiling water, a large number of bubbles emerge from the bottom of the water.

The inky black water of the pool was tumbling and boiling, but strangely enough, it was not decreasing like boiling water, but increasing.

Carl remembers that the pool had only been in this situation once - that day in the principal's office, he had erased the virtual soul he had created in his consciousness, and the pool had briefly increased.

However, this time is not the same as this time.

It was a strange feeling, and for a long time, Carl didn't notice any difference, but as the water in the pool gradually increased, he noticed something unusual, and his magic was growing wildly at an abnormal rate.

Magic is a very abstract thing, it represents the source of the wizard's power.

Carl has read a lot of books, and wizards' magic will only increase with age, until the age of 17, this growth will gradually stabilize, unless it is talented, even if it is enhanced in the future, it will not increase much.

At the same time, almost no wizard is aware of the presence of magic.

Just like human muscles, people can lift things with their arms, relying on the combined action of muscles, tendons, fascia, and bones.

But no one can feel their movements, no one can feel the presence of tendons and hamstrings, all people can clearly perceive is the amount of strength, the fatigue of the arms, and so on.

The same is true for wizards when they use magic, they don't feel magic and can only use it as instinctively.

Because of his talent, Carl had always been able to perceive the presence of magic, but he had never been more aware of where they came from.

Now, he finally knew what the black pool of water hidden deep at the bottom of his consciousness was—

It was the source of his magic alone.

In his body, the originally abstract magical power was actually embodied.

It becomes a semi-real substance between abstraction and reality.

And as this embodied magic continues to grow, although Grindelwald repeatedly insists on him, don't treat magic as an arm.

But now, the feeling of bulging as if the muscles of his arm were growing, and the intense feeling of fullness that came with it, made him completely addicted.

In a trance, he heard a plea, and his voice was strangely weak.

"Boy, let me go!!"

"Leave me ...... alone"

"Please spare me. ”

The voice kept repeating something like that.

It was a long time before Carl barely managed to recover from the illusory sense of satisfaction with his firm will.

At this time, the voice continued, and his tone changed from a slight weakness to almost inaudible.

Perhaps aware of Carl's sobriety, the voice finally spoke.

"Boy, I was killed by you......"

If we first came into contact with Poseidon's huge will, it was as vast as the Milky Way in the sky.

Right now, there is only a little residue left, lingering and extremely weak.
