Through the mouths of the representatives of the Sea Clan, these words, which are of great significance to the inhabitants of the land of Vann today, are constantly spoken.

A strange picture from the distant past has finally opened a corner in the minds of these "landwalkers".

At the same time, Xiuge, who was far away in the Watch City, like all the people who participated in the Black Sun Society, once again glimpsed the lost picture through the Black Sun Secret Ritual.

"Life originates from the ocean."

In different worlds, this phrase has a very different connotation.

If it were in Xiuge's real "hometown", this would probably be a common sense accepted by most people.

However, in Vanne, this phrase is inevitably given some special psychedelic overtones.

The bright, dazzling colors of the rainbow that danced in the raging ancient waves were the sight of Calron, the god of the sea, and the breath of the deep-sea communities with their collective will.

It is difficult to describe the life force in it, it is born in it, it continues to lap against the reef along the coast, with the circulation of the water body to extend its footprints to the deepest part of the land, like a seed, the miracle born under the sight of the black sun gradually spreads to every corner with the operation of the rules of the world.

It's an extremely long process.

But compared to the eternal celestial body from the sky, this change was extremely rapid, almost a short moment.

When the hunters in the abyss had gone through a long hibernation and set foot in their hunting grounds again, they were surprised to find that there was already a presence in this world that could confront them head-on.

The communities born in the ocean also received new instructions from the Lord of the Boundless Seas in this contact.

The Clans should not stop at the junction of land and sea, and since the creatures of land also enjoy the blessings of life that originated from the sea, they should also be part of the community, and only when the mighty bodies of water fill the world, the eternal hunt initiated by the black celestial bodies can be completely stopped.

So, after another "big hunt", the sea finally declared war on the land.

Under the invisible gaze of Calron, the raging waves crashed against the cliffs, and the pervasive waters began to rise, rushing to the land, to every rock, to the realms of the clans that belonged to other so-called gods.

And the confrontation between the rats and the sea beasts that Xiuge had glimpsed in the dream of the Earth Mother God was a short moment in this long war.

Charon and the ocean in which he dwells are so powerful that countless individuals are connected to each other and countless wills and minds are fused under the never-ending life force, and the possibilities of those fierce and elegant families are infinite in the process.

Devouring, learning, evolving, evolving......

In front of this behemoth community with almost infinite possibilities and space, even the abyss had to temporarily avoid the edge.

"For a long, long time, the hunt of the Black Sun was terminated, and the majesty of our lord Charon was enough to deter the terrible shadows...... They no longer dare to see this as their hunting ground, and can only collect 'sacrifices' from those land tribes to sustain their power. ”

In the words of the messenger of the group, almost everyone could feel its clear emotions.

These dangerous communities are proud of their past glory and miss and yearn for their lost past.

So the sea continued to move towards land...... At that time, every god and race on the land had to make a choice. ”

"In order to thwart the will of Calon, the land gods who used to devour each other are forced to stop their strife and engage in a senseless confrontation with us."

"And those races, they either stay away from the battlefield and establish shelter in a safe enough place, or they faithfully follow their gods and fight against us...... Of course, among the landwalkers, there are also many ethnic groups who have made the right choice. ”

"That is to follow the sea, to seek the refuge of our Lord, to help us advance to the land......"

As he spoke, the Herald's gaze passed through the thick glass barrier and landed on the members of the Vann Magical Society and Frey Meyer, who examined them carefully before uttering a sentence that stunned everyone in the room.

Mel...... The landwalkers followed. ”

"She is one of them, she is the land agent chosen by my Lord, she is supposed to be the key to the world of the seas, she should be one of us......"

"However, she became a traitor."

……

Like the rest of the Society, Xiuge's consciousness hovered above the boundless ocean illusion.

The magic of the Abyss was surging at a steady rate, the black sun overhead was distant, the Emissary and the Court Hound peered up in confusion through the gaze of Shug, and the black mask that was clearly related to Theseus rose and fell within the Abyssal Mist.

It seems that something wonderful is happening.

There was a faint fluctuation in the void, and the presiding officer of the assembly, Kzlov, was passing a large amount of information to those who were also in the midst of this vast illusion.

The general condition of the defensive line of the watch city, the key defensive lines that need to be adjusted and compensated, the types of scarce personnel, the movement of materials and armaments......

Plans such as these, which should have been spoken directly in ordinary meetings, are now directly infused into the minds of each of the corresponding people in the form of detailed pictures and words.

Naturally, the Baron of Fiorlando was no exception.

With the blessing of the Black Sun Secret Rite, Kzlov's will became strong and sharp, and it carved a message directly into Xiuge's head like a carving knife.

And that, exactly the task that Kzlov wanted to assign to the baron.

"The Society needs to conduct a detailed search around Overwatch City, you will be the main commander of this mission, and I am its first leader, you only need to report directly to me, and the rest of the people and arrangements will not be bothered."

"I ask you to turn the Rock Lake Mine into a search base in five days, and search several possible spy and spy hideouts, which is the trust that the Society has placed in you - now, you are the only core member who has actually come into contact with those infiltrators and is still alive, Fiorlando, I want you to take on this important role."

"There is no need to worry about manpower, as long as it is within a reasonable range, I will try my best to meet you, and you can also deploy the creations such as Yasharu and Dark Dog in the region to a certain extent."

"Your most important target is Süg Ernst...... Shug Ernst of the Dawn Society, try to find him as much as possible, whether he lives or dies. ”

A series of words were engraved in Xiuge's mind, and these orders themselves contained amazing magical power, if it weren't for Xiuge's magic barrier set up in advance, and his own spiritual strength was high enough, I am afraid that he would be completely imprinted by Kzlov like everyone else present, and become a pawn at his disposal.

Surface work, Xiuge is naturally very well done.

He showed 100 percent obedience and loyalty in the face of these terrible spiritual commands, and Kzlov withdrew from his will with satisfaction after confirming that Fiorlando had accepted his commands.

Now that the instructions and plans have been passed down to the table, the next step is the grand meeting of associations.

All of you present will witness a lost piece of true history.

For the members who have joined the association, its role is relatively limited, but for those officials who have not yet completely escaped the influence of the "false gods", these powerful shadows of the past can completely change their thinking and make them truly devote themselves to the affairs of the association.

Then the waves began to surge, and the colors that once belonged to Charon emerged from the deepest part of the ocean.

Xiuge wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at these past images, but at this moment, the black mask that had been floating in the fog of the abyss suddenly trembled, and then, a familiar voice sounded in Xiuge's mind.

"Hmm...... They're really good at doing these things, and it's still crude, but it's enough. ”

Hug was stunned for a moment, for it was the voice of Theseus.

As when she left, Theseus still used a feminine voice, and she sounded very slouched, as if she were lying in a chair at this time.

Of course, under this laziness, it is probably weakness and exhaustion.

"You guys need to speed up...... It won't be long before the inhabitants of St. Steele's land will fall into the arms of those gods, and what awaits them is a deeper transformation, just like the members of the Society you have seen before. ”

"Transcend the pure physical state, dedicate one's spirit and mind as a sacrifice, and finally allow oneself to transcend the original limitations and become the dependents of those lost beings."

"If you really come to that point, I'm afraid that these weapons and means in your hands now will not be enough to deal with it."

Shuge wanted to ask about Theseus's situation, but before he could speak, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Theseus: "Don't be in a hurry to speak, you'd better keep your mind steady now...... Their secrets are completely different from before, and if you don't want to waste your efforts, then keep quiet and listen to me. ”

The voice in his head breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and then Shug heard Theseus say, "The speed of recovery and diffusion of the Rays of Life is a little too fast, probably because some people in the Black Sun Society have succeeded in finding the key to catalyze them. ”

"You have to find out for yourself, and again, you have to speed it up...... If you don't want to see Charon return, you'd better hasten it. ”

Hearing this, Xiuge really couldn't help it.

"Isn't Calon banished at his second coming?"

A sneer came from the depths of the spiritual world, and then Xiuge listened to the lazy voice and said, "For these special beings, there are many meanings of expulsion...... It can be completely wiped out and devoured, or it can be blocked and blocked for a short period of time. ”

Her voice paused slightly, and then added, "Of course, it can also be the destruction and erosion of the source of its power itself. ”

"Well, look down, although these scenes are not accurate, but they can also answer some of your confusion."

Following Theseus's words, Hug looked downward, and he saw that within the surging rainbow colors, those sea beasts with different forms gradually emerged, and to his surprise, some of the strange fish he had seen in the "Dream of the Great Ship" and some of the strange beasts he had encountered on the Windless were also among them.

Xiuge saw that this boundless army, which was completely integrated with the tide, was advancing in the direction of the coast.

And on the coast, the battle is already going on.

He saw a small number of sea beasts mingling with soldiers of various races, including humans, elves, and ogres, who were not enemies, but allies who relied on each other to fight.

Fighting this mixed team are the rat hordes belonging to Mother Earth Goddess, as well as a host of eccentric clans who don't even know which beliefs and gods they belong to.

A huge falcon with horns and many narrow eyes on its wings, covered in scales, a monitor lizard as large as a hill, and a burly humanoid with a large number of vines twisted...... They gathered with the endless stream of rats, and launched round after round of frenzied attacks on the line of defense close to the sea.

Among the defenders, there was a figure that stood out.

The azure waves of the sea wrapped around her like ribbons, and the invisible force of the familiar and unfamiliar constantly jumped around her, and Xiuge recognized the figure.

She had appeared in the dreams of the rat colony, when she was also fighting alongside the sea beasts.

Shug had seen her in the fragmentary memories that belonged to Theseus, when she was the leader of countless races that were not favored by the gods of the land, and the true leader of that vast tribe.

She was Mel, the goddess of magic.

And beside this figure, who is constantly fighting with all kinds of ancient magic, there is another shadow active, which is an ever-changing black shadow.

Sometimes it transforms into slender ropes and serpents, scattering deadly black mist at enemies, sometimes like a venomous blade, piercing dangerous targets on the spot, and sometimes taking on a humanoid form or something else to return to Mel's side to defend it.

"See, that's me...... Well, while it's not exactly the same as it actually is, it's not wrong overall. ”

Theseus's voice came slowly, "Well, that's me and my mentor." ”
