Chapter 583: Gap
Seeing those thick, green vines hanging down, feeling that even a real carriage could walk on them, Lu Mian seemed to return to a few years ago, the scene when his sister told him fairy tales at night.
That gorgeous and dreamy bridge, that endlessly diverging imagination, seemed to shine into reality at this moment.
"Ultraman" Lato Giaro smelled the aura of danger.
The person who could create this effect couldn't be a low-to-mid-sequence Beyonder; they must be a saint who had pushed open the door of divinity, and possibly even Sequence 4!
Another powerful demigod came!
Who could it be? Where did they come from?
This definitely wasn't "Gandalf." Others might not be clear, but "Loki" had touched the bottom of that president of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society," knowing that he was actually a "Warrior" pathway Beyonder, a "Warrior" who loved research and liked mysticism.
In a flash, Lato Giaro saw black shadows galloping down along the thick green vines. That was a giant pumpkin pulled by many gray mice.
The orange pumpkin had a hole opened on top, shaped like a carriage, and inside sat a vaguely visible woman. She wore a purple robe, and the shoes on her feet seemed to be made of crystal.
"Pumpkin carriage, mice pulling the carriage, crystal shoes... What the fxxx is this? Who is it?" Lato Giaro's pupils dilated sharply, and he couldn't help but explode with a swear word he loved to use most before transmigrating in his heart.
Isn't this Cinderella?
Roselle also wrote this fairy tale? How come it didn't spread, and no one knew?
For a moment, Lato Giaro couldn't judge whether the newcomer was a demigod from another force or a strong person hidden within the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society."
He calmed down, cursed "unlucky," and had to bite the bullet to fight the new demigod.
Fortunately, he was still barely the "Sea Viceroy" and was enough to drag the other party for a while in this sea area.
Before the battle, "Ultraman" Lato Giaro turned his head and glared fiercely at "Mad Lady."
He didn't have time to speak, but his eyes were full of the words he wanted to say:
"Hurry up! Stop playing!"
"Mad Lady" finally received the message "Ultraman" wanted to convey. A "flash" was about to go to the entrance of the energy channel, but she didn't appear there in the end, instead outlining her figure a distance ahead.
That was because Mr. K and Lu Mian both "teleported" nearby, taking the entrance of the energy channel as the target of their attack.
Splash!
Whether it was the humanoid sealed object's "heaviness" trait again or the mountain-like azure giant waves Lato Giaro manufactured, they all caused the water flow around this seabed void to appear with obvious shaking, as if it would collapse soon.
Just at this moment, "Cinderella," who was sitting in the pumpkin carriage, pushed the door and stood up.
She spread her arms, and a giant iron-black cross appeared behind her.
That cross was so heavy that even "Cinderella" couldn't bear it, as if it had gathered all the sins in the world.
Cross... "Ultraman" Lato Giaro was stunned for a moment, and then saw an empty room appear in front of him.
Inside the room, candlelight lit up, illuminating a long table full of flesh.
On both sides of the long table were three extremely blurry figures. They were bending their waists and backs, holding flesh, constantly gnawing and devouring.
Abruptly, these three figures turned their heads simultaneously and cast their gazes toward Lato Giaro.
Lato Giaro solidified in place, as if pierced through all his secrets by those gazes, dismantled into the basic materials that made up spirit and flesh.
A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and he then felt strong, terrifying malice.
That malice didn't come from the new demigod, but originated from the silver-gray massive object trapped on the seabed!
The spaceship Lato Giaro wanted to obtain had malice toward him!
In a flash, that silver-gray massive object withdrew its authority.
Lato Giaro fell from the position of "Sea Viceroy" instantly. Even if he had obtained a gift, he couldn't reach the demigod level anymore.
He had been betrayed by that spaceship.
This was because the magic "Cinderella" used just now was called "Betrayal Feast," whose function was to briefly awaken or grant intelligence to a certain item on the target, letting them make "betrayal" moves.
Lato Giaro combined himself with this sea area and temporarily obtained the "Sea Viceroy" authority, so that spaceship was equivalent to an item he hadn't completely controlled yet.
And items that haven't been completely controlled are the easiest to betray!
"Cinderella" used this magic at the beginning precisely because she keenly sensed this point.
At the same time, the environment trapped in the seal created conditions for her to use this magic. In other places, she might not dare to use it.
This moment, Lato Giaro was both surprised and terrified, and even had a feeling of being poured a bucket of ice water on his head, feeling cold all over.
Ever since he could combine with this sea area and temporarily obtain the "Sea Viceroy" authority, he had always believed that a Sequence 4 or even Sequence 3 demigod, which was a saint in ordinary people's cognition, couldn't solve him quickly here.
This made him feel that he and they were on the same level, only that he must be in this sea area to exert his full strength.
But now, "Cinderella" only used one magic, and he lost the "Sea Viceroy" authority, falling back from a demigod to Sequence 5, no longer possessing divinity, and no longer able to drive this ocean.
Even if he was now a dual-pathway Sequence 5 with potion and gift, possessing many unique abilities, Lato Giaro didn't feel that such a self could contend with a true demigod.
"A demigod temporarily turned into by relying on items is so fragile in front of a true demigod, fragile to the point that once targeted, they can't even hold on for the time of a breath..." Lato Giaro deeply experienced what a true demigod was and felt strong regret and despair.
Just at this moment, that silver-gray massive object trembled violently, causing the energy channel at the entrance to shift its position, and it "shone" on Lato Giaro.
With a swoosh, Lato Giaro flew uncontrollably within the pure energy channel toward the interior of that spaceship.
This was a part of the latter's "betrayal," wanting to process the previous "holder" into a nutrient base for the culture dish!
Lato Giaro was startled first, then ecstatic.
This was an opportunity!
An opportunity to let him enter the interior of the spaceship, seize control, and start it to escape!
The bad luck just now, the despair just now, actually exchanged for such an opportunity!
Lu Mian saw this scene and didn't hesitate. He used "Spirit World Travel" again, came to the entrance of the energy channel, and walked in directly, flying toward the interior of the silver-gray massive object.
"Mad Lady" followed closely, and Mr. K didn't stop her and followed up too.
Milo Village, inside the "Sea Viceroy's" mansion.
The "Bard," who was trying to find a way to escape here in advance, suddenly heard bursts of cheers.
Cheers... The "Bard's" heart stirred. He ran out of the servant's room, came to the nearest glass window on the dock side, and looked at the villagers gathered there.
During this process, none of the ocean kin came to stop this former "Sea Viceroy."
The "Bard" saw many villagers raise their hands high, as if welcoming the waves, heard their praises for the sea one after another, and felt the near-invisible brilliance falling bit by bit, sprinkling like water splashes toward different human beings.
The children nearby shouted happily:
"The Sea Prayer Ritual succeeded!
"The Sea Prayer Ritual succeeded!"
Yeah, it "succeeded"... The "Bard" showed a smile.
It seems "Ultraman" and "Mad Lady" over there have already succeeded.
This core member of "April Fool's" straightened the collar of his white shirt, shouldered the brown backpack, and walked into the hall of the "Sea Viceroy's" mansion openly, walking out of the gate there.
This time, no one stopped him. The guards at the gate were kneeling on both knees, thanking the sea for its gift.
The "Bard" went to the dock for a turn. Every time he heard a praise for the sea, every time he saw a smile from someone's heart, his mood would be happy by one point.
This group of idiots!
Treating disaster as a good thing and celebrating here!
This is a prank, this is the fooling of everyone in Sangtagang... The "Bard" closed his eyes contentedly, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked toward the depths of Milo Village, aiming for the remaining peaks of the Pilaes Mountains behind.
As the former "Swindler," he was the main planner of the actions related to the Sea Prayer Ritual. The plan being able to succeed smoothly naturally made him unusually proud and happy.
And most importantly, in the entire plan, although he undertook the most critical step, he was in the link with the least risk and the least likely to be exposed, and almost didn't need to face fighting.
After walking through the buildings with both ancient and modern styles in Milo Village for a while, the "Bard" frowned slightly.
He felt a little something wrong.
According to the original plan, if there was no too strong obstruction, "Ultraman" would directly use the second command to open the energy channel and rely on the temporary "Sea Viceroy" authority obtained to ensure his own safety and that of "Mad Lady" inside him, thereby killing everyone else here and severely injuring possible "demigod" enemies.
If strong people like "Hela" appeared, and the humanoid sealed object couldn't contend, then "Ultraman," as the temporary "Sea Viceroy," would join the battle, drag the enemy, and let "Mad Lady" use that enchanted ring to convert the deep-level power erupting inside the spaceship into a gift, scattering it to everyone present and all the "Children of the Sea" in the Sangtagang range, thereby avoiding danger, entering the interior, and starting the flying boat.
Since there was already the "Sea's Gift," and several minutes had passed, why hadn't the flying boat started, and why hadn't the sky shown corresponding changes?
What variables happened in the middle?
Thinking of this, the "Bard" quickened his pace.
Tap, tap, tap.
Behind him, slight footsteps came again.
