Chapter 3300

9:00 PM, Main City, Central District.

In the building complex on the west side of the Sea God Palace, in a four-story tower, the window on the right side of the third floor was pitch black.

Sitting on a wooden chair in the darkness, Su Xiao looked at the Sea God Palace outside the window. The Sea God Palace covered a huge area, and on its uneven main structure were bloated domes.

The entire Sea God Palace had multiple spatial sensing barriers. Baha couldn't sneak in, but Xiang Bubu Wang could. He just walked in directly; in Xiang Bubu's view, any fancy barrier was just a floating cloud. He only had no way to deal with buildings wrapped in a large number of living organisms.

The Sea God Palace was divided into five parts: East, West, South, and North, each with different functions. The central area was the main body of the Sea God Palace, and the sleeping quarters were located at the very center.

Once the sleeping quarters were attacked, the four God Officials guarding the East, West, South, and North of the Sea God Palace would bring people to protect the Sea God in a short time. The strength of the four God Officials was only a notch weaker than the Sea God.

According to Conrad's arrangement, there was only 5 minutes from sneaking in to succeeding. If the Sea God couldn't be killed within 5 minutes, they could only flee outward or perish together; at that point, they could choose for themselves.

Don't underestimate these 5 minutes. To outsiders, blocking the four God Officials and thousands of guards seemed impossible, especially since the location was inside the Sea God Palace. Conrad had prepared for many years and, after exhausting all methods, finally achieved this.

There was no need to worry about sneaking in. Conrad and his subordinates focused most of their energy on this. When the time came, Su Xiao just needed to walk into the Sea God Palace from the North Gate and didn't need to worry about anything else.

The entire plan could be divided into two major links. First, Caesar would go to the sleeping quarters to deliver the 'Mind Marrow'. This was both to scout the Sea God Palace's defensive configuration for the day and to weaken the Sea God's combat power.

Conrad spent a lot of money to get a kind of energy toxin. This toxin was very difficult to detect. Its characteristic was that after entering the target's body, it would remain in a dormant state. When the target began to mobilize their body energy, this energy toxin would be gradually activated.

At that point, the energy toxin would cause the target to be completely unable to control their body energy for a period of time, which was a forced silence, leaving the Sea God to fight two technique masters with only melee combat. That was simply a tragedy written on his forehead.

Therefore, this step by Caesar was crucial. If Caesar succeeded between 10:05 and 10:08, the assassination team would start sneaking in at 10:25, entering from the North Gate. Throughout the process, the assassination team had to ensure the same pace and arrive at each hiding point at the scheduled time.

The six members of the assassination team were: Su Xiao, Conrad, Master Xiulu, Qian Ying, Luo Er, and Sophia.

In the assassination team, Conrad was a so-called 'pay-to-win' powerhouse, relying on various consumable secret treasures collected over the years.

Su Xiao and Master Xiulu were both technique types, the two big bosses in the assassination squad.

Qian Ying was an assassination type. He didn't need to sneak in; he was already in the sleeping quarters. Before acting, he couldn't move his position at will and could only stay in the shadows, otherwise, he would be suspected by the Sea God.

Black Horn Luo Er was a defense type. He looked lean and capable, but he was actually very good at protecting his teammates. He didn't block in front of his teammates but could swap positions with them at critical moments using his own abilities.

Su Xiao had seen this ability before. When they were in Shelter City No. 6, that Sea Clan girl whose mouth seemed to be smeared with glycerin had a similar ability.

In a critical moment, Luo Er would swap positions with a teammate to take the beating for them.

As for the last one, Sophia, she was an ordinary person. Once the battle started, she was a typical war correspondent. Conrad decided to bring her after careful consideration.

In the assassination team, no one openly pledged allegiance to Conrad. If they ran into guards while sneaking into the Sea God Palace, Sophia would stand out and claim that the Sea God wanted to summon these people, thereby stabilizing the situation and finding an opportunity for the five of them to retreat, preserve their strength, and carry out the next round of assassination attempts.

After doing this, Sophia would not be able to escape. Even if she were the Sea God's eldest daughter, she would still be executed after the matter was investigated.

The Sea God's eldest son and daughter were not the oldest among all the siblings, but the two oldest among the children still alive today.

"Are the things ready?"

In the pitch-black room, Su Xiao looked sideways at Conrad with the help of the moonlight.

"Here."

Conrad handed over a stack of thick paper that was half-rolled together. Su Xiao opened it to check the top sheet, and after being satisfied, he put the stack of thick paper away.

At the same time, inside the Sea God Palace's sleeping quarters.

The huge sleeping quarters appeared somewhat spacious. A bed 30 centimeters high was located in the middle. This bed was very large, over five meters in length and width, surrounded by translucent black curtains, which were blown by the night wind.

A figure wearing a loose dark blue long robe sat cross-legged in the center of the bed. Wisps of ethereal golden energy were entering his body from the surroundings; it was the gathered faith power.

This was the Sea God. His long black hair was disheveled, and he had an imposing manner that didn't need anger to be intimidating.

The heavy metal door of the sleeping quarters was pushed open by two guards. The cold air from inside the hall drifted out, making both guards shiver.

When the temperature in the sleeping quarters rose slightly, a thin figure walked in carrying a large tray. On the tray was a small lamp, from which a wisp of black smoke as thin as a hair drifted out. If one touched this wisp of black smoke, they could hear the shrill wailing of the dead before they died.

Carrying the tray with both hands, an old servant with a pale face walked over. Anyone who saw him would have the feeling of, 'Hmm, this is an acquaintance.'

This old servant's face was too pale, with a feeling that it was about to flake off at any moment, making people wonder how thick the foundation makeup on his face was. In fact, it wasn't foundation makeup; it was white wall dust.

The Sea God on the bed opened his eyes and happened to see the old servant walking towards him through the curtain. At the first sight of the other party, the Sea God's thought was that this was a familiar servant, but, this servant was really ugly.

The more the Sea God looked at the old servant walking over, the more he felt distressed, but as a god, he moved his gaze away at this moment, which made it seem like he feared that mortal.

"Put the things down and go down."

Under the Sea God's majesty, the old servant retreated timidly. After the door of the sleeping quarters closed, for some reason, the Sea God felt a sense of relief in his heart. The ugly face of the old servant lingered in his mind, which was a bit of mental pollution.

The Sea God rubbed his brow. He vaguely 'recalled' that this was a servant who had come to the God Palace a few months ago, just not often to deliver Mind Marrow.

The Sea God prepared to use such talent more often in the future. That face wasn't just a problem of being ugly, but mental pollution; outsiders couldn't disguise themselves.

In fact, the Sea God didn't notice that he had been affected by some kind of ability. This ability was not aggressive, but it was a MAX-level ability.

The tray in front of the bed floated up, passed through the curtain, and landed in front of the Sea God. The black smoke drifting from the lamp gradually circled around the Sea God.

Time passed minute by minute. Conrad lived in the Sea God Palace as a child and left here at 16 to live outside. It was from that time that he had an idea: could he sneak in here and kill his father?

To be precise, Conrad had been conceiving the plan to sneak into the Sea God Palace for more than a decade. The entire sneaking process was 4 minutes, but he had practiced it over and over again in his mind.

He knew the location of every brick and tile in the Sea God Palace. He even knew the habits of every guard patrolling here, as well as what these guards were called, where their homes were, how many lovers they had, etc.

Conrad had achieved such an exaggerated level. Since childhood, his father, the Sea God, had been his nightmare. He knew how terrifying this nightmare was. In order to kill this nightmare, no matter how much detail he put into it, it was a matter of course in his view.

The hands of the clock ticked. When it pointed to 10:30.

Thump, thump. Thump.

The door of the sleeping hall was knocked. The Sea God, who had just finished absorbing the 'Mind Marrow', opened his eyes.

"Damn it, why knock on the door? Just kick it."

"Start the timer. From now on, 5 minutes."

"Understood."

BOOM!!!

The Sea God felt as if there had been an earthquake. The door of the sleeping quarters flew out parallel and slammed into the opposite wall, deeply embedded in it. If there hadn't been a barrier outside the wall, the wall would definitely have been pierced.

"Only 5 minutes."

Conrad rushed into the sleeping quarters first. Seeing Conrad, the Sea God's expression calmed down. The kick to the door just now had startled him somewhat. As the saying goes, an expert knows the ropes; the Sea God judged that if that kick had landed on him, it really wouldn't be a joke.

"Rebellious son."

The Sea God rose from the bed. With a swoosh, his aura blew away the curtains around the bed.

A sharp cutting sound came from behind the Sea God. A dark blue fluid suddenly appeared, turning into a wall, blocking behind the Sea God.

"Qian Ying."

The Sea God was truly angry. Conrad's assassination was within his expectations, but Qian Ying's betrayal was something he never expected.

The 'surprises' weren't over. Sophia, Luo Er, and Master Xiulu rushed in together. Seeing these three, the Sea God couldn't determine for a moment if these three were really here to assassinate him? Had all these people betrayed him?

Besides the four God Officials, the Sea God had five confidants: Sophia, Luo Er, Qian Ying, Master Xiulu, and Disai.

What comforted the Sea God was that among the five confidants, Disai hadn't betrayed him.

Actually, that wasn't the case. Disai was guarding the door. His ability didn't distinguish between friend and foe and wasn't suitable for assassination, so he was responsible for blocking the God Officials who might come to reinforce.

The reason for this situation was that the Sea God's pursuit of becoming a Holy God was too persistent, so persistent that he repeatedly changed the laws of the main city, and divine power was completely supreme, not even covering up the fig leaf.

At first, it was nothing; the Sea God's majesty was there. But as time went on, the hearts of the people scattered, coupled with Conrad's solicitation, it would be a ghost if they didn't rebel. The human heart was the most complex thing.

It could be said that the Sea God was like an emperor who was single-mindedly cultivating immortality; not being destroyed would be a disservice to his ancestors.

Time was tight, only 5 minutes. Qian Ying was blocked, and Black Horn Luo Er and Master Xiulu, who was holding a metal staff, rushed forward at the same time.

With a swoosh, Luo Er disappeared. He activated his ability to swap positions with Qian Ying, making Qian Ying appear behind Master Xiulu. One technique type, one assassination type, they charged in a crisscross manner, pouncing towards the Sea God.

The Sea God raised his hand. With a boom, an explosion came from in front of him. Qian Ying and Master Xiulu both flew out, hitting the wall behind them heavily. Qian Ying was soaked in blood all over and was not lightly injured.

A sound of breaking air appeared behind the Sea God. It was Baha flying over.

Boom.

Seawater splashed everywhere. After a deafening explosion, Baha turned into an afterimage, flew backward, and hit the wall hard. He felt his internal organs churning; it was almost impossible to get close to the Sea God.

The Sea God was the nemesis of all melee fighters. The main city was located at the deepest part of the seabed, and the Sea God utilized the power of the seabed water pressure. His ability operation method was very simple.

The Sea God left a mental imprint in the seawater directly above the Sea God Palace, using this as a medium to let the surrounding water pressure squeeze the mental imprint unscrupulously.

The Sea God, located in the Sea God Palace, used the mental imprint directly above as a medium to form a release port. When he opened this release port, the seawater bearing high pressure above found a release point and rushed out accompanied by pressure.

This method could not only repel enemies but also use seawater as a high-pressure water cutter, severely injuring enemies while repelling them. What was more exquisite was that this method consumed very little body energy.

A sound of wind breaking came from the Sea God's side. He reached out his hand to the side, palm outward. With a boom, Su Xiao flew out accompanied by splashing seawater and hit the wall. The crystal layer on his body gradually fell off, and his face was expressionless.

"Conrad, as my son, you make me very disappointed. You are too anxious. When I killed my father, I endured for 37 years."

The Sea God's hand aimed at Conrad. It seemed that Conrad's problem of being a rebellious son was a family tradition.

Another explosion sounded, and Conrad, covered in blood, flew backward. His broken body hit the wall, but a smile appeared on his face. A ring on his hand emitted a faint light. Without this ring, he would have been dead.

With a splat, Conrad landed. He climbed up with somewhat strange movements, stepping on his blood-stained top hat with one foot. His curly short hair was stuck together by blood stains.

Assassination emphasizes speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. No matter how you look at it, too much time had been delayed. From entering the front hall until now, 3 minutes had passed, but including Su Xiao, no one could get within 5 meters of the Sea God, all being blasted away by him time and time again.

Besides using his water pressure ability to fight, the Sea God didn't use other means. He was waiting for the reinforcement of the four God Officials and guarding against the enemy's backhand.

The sound of rapid running came. The Sea God began to lose patience. He stretched out one arm, and while seawater surged in his palm, he made a grasping gesture.

Splat~

Ultra-high-pressure seawater splashed on the Sea God's hand. He lost control of the seawater—to be precise, he couldn't control his body energy anymore.

The Sea God's aura choked. He looked at his hand and tried to mobilize his body energy. A sense of difficulty came from his body, as if the energy in his body had rusted.

Around the Sea God, Su Xiao, Master Xiulu, Qian Ying, and Luo Er surrounded the Sea God in the middle. Several pairs of eyes were looking at the Sea God.

"Don't be deceived by my rebellious son. He can't give you anything."

"Go, slaughter him!"

Explosions came from the sleeping hall, and in other areas of the Sea God Palace, chaotic battles were taking place.

Inside the sleeping hall, the Sea God still stood tall. In his hand was a broken light spear. Blood soaked his clothes. The slash on his chest caused him severe injuries, and his left arm, which hung limply, was injured by Master Xiulu.

A subtle sound of running reached the Sea God's ears. He recognized the unique footsteps; it was his trusted God Official Zakarai coming to reinforce. As long as Zakarai could rush in, he could survive today's disaster.

The footsteps got closer and closer. What puzzled the Sea God was why the surrounding enemies didn't attack him anymore. This feeling... was too illusory!

The Sea God suddenly opened his eyes, breaking free from the hallucination that overlapped with reality. A sense of restraint came from all over his body. Master Xiulu was behind him, locking his arms, his knee pressing on his back. Qian Ying turned into a black shadow, like a rope, strangling his upper body. Black Horn Luo Er entangled his legs. At this moment, he couldn't move and was at the mercy of others.

The Sea God's peripheral vision saw his descendant Conrad. The other party's left face was full of blood patterns, but he was smiling.

A sound of breaking air came head-on. The Sea God saw a long blade suddenly close the distance. He had already been severely injured; being stabbed in a vital point by this blade meant certain death. He still had many trump cards unused. As long as he could mobilize the energy in his body, he would never be like this...

The long blade stabbed over. Behind the Sea God, Master Xiulu bit the Sea God's long hair with his teeth, pulled his head back, causing the Sea God to tilt his head up as well. The tip of the long blade headed straight for the Sea God's chin.

Bang!

The door on the right side of the sleeping hall was knocked open, and a God Official wearing full-body armor rushed in. His name was Zakarai.

After seeing the scene in the sleeping hall, God Official Zakarai's expression became extremely terrified.

The long blade in Su Xiao's hand stabbed in from the Sea God's chin, pierced through the entire skull, and stabbed out from the top of the head. The Sea God's arm lifted slightly, then fell powerlessly.

"You, you actually dare!"

God Official Zakarai's expression was completely distorted—terror, anger, bewilderment.

The Sea God's eyes widened to the maximum. He really died with his eyes wide open. He had developed various abilities for a lifetime, but in the most critical battle of his life, he basically didn't use any abilities. He had been too comfortable bullying melee fighters with high-pressure seawater at the beginning.

Su Xiao took out a stack of thick paper from his storage space. He had commissioned Conrad to get this, for which the other party had mobilized all the intelligence channels in the main city.

On this stack of thick paper in Su Xiao's hand, each sheet was a portrait of the same woman. He looked at God Official Zakarai and said: "Come here."

Hearing this, God Official Zakarai was furious, but after seeing the Sea God's corpse, he suddenly realized: right, the Sea God was already dead. A dead person was not worth being loyal to.

After the Sea God fell, who was in charge of the main city? God Official Zakarai couldn't help but look at Conrad. In the past, only this big shot dared to contend with the Sea God.

God Official Zakarai stopped in front of Su Xiao and took the large stack of portraits Su Xiao handed over.

"Remember, it was Crow Woman who killed the Sea God."

As Su Xiao spoke, the long blade in his hand was pulled out from the Sea God's skull. Without anyone restraining it, the Sea God's corpse fell to the ground.

God Official Zakarai glanced at the blood-stained long blade in Su Xiao's hand, then at the large stack of portraits in his own hand. He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and shouted: "Crow Woman killed Lord Sea God! Come quickly! Crow Woman killed Lord Sea God!"

"Crow Woman killed Lord Sea God!"

"Block the God Palace! Avenge Lord Sea God!"

"Find Crow Woman and kill her!"

Shouts gradually spread far away. Soon, a piece of news spread in the Sea God Palace: Crow Woman sneaked into the Sea God Palace at night, assassinated Lord Sea God, and Lord Sea God was dead.

At the same time, in a restaurant in the city, Crow Woman, who was eating a late-night snack, sneezed.

"Strange, who is scolding me behind my back."

After Crow Woman rubbed her nose, she continued to eat her steaming late-night snack. Having just entered this world, she was thinking about how to use a clever way to pit Su Xiao.
