This place is indeed remote.
The nearest Kuroshio Island is a small island with an area of less than 4,000 hectares and less than 1,000 permanent residents. There is only seawater around it. There are no tourist attractions, no industrial and agricultural specialties, and most of the islanders are fishermen. The resources are relatively scarce, and it is a very ordinary island.
Apart from that, there is vast ocean for dozens of kilometers.
However, Kotaro and Kitajima searched along the reef and found no signs of the so-called ship collision.
"No? Have you guys looked carefully?"
“Indeed, I have looked for them all.”
It's only a few hundred meters around the island, so if there are any traces, they should be easy to find.
Was he wrong? Huang Yuan was a little suspicious, but at this moment, the whole ground shook.
"earthquake?"
Araki and the other two quickly grabbed the rocks nearby to stabilize themselves. The Tianjing creaked and almost capsized into the sea. Fortunately, the vibration stopped after more than ten seconds.
"Ask the headquarters where the epicenter is."
Earthquakes in the sea can easily cause tsunamis.
However, when Kitajima climbed aboard the Tianjing and used the communicator to ask the headquarters, he received an unexpected response.
"Vice-Captain, Moriyama said that the headquarters has not observed any signs of earthquakes in the Izu Islands."
"What? No earthquake?"
Before he could finish his words, the ground began to shake again.
"Oh no, hurry back to the Sky Whale, we're taking off urgently!"
In the deep sea hundreds of meters below this island reef, Tianxiegui's figure flashed quickly several times and avoided the entanglement of several unknown tentacles.
The entire seabed was pitch black.
The area below two hundred meters in the sea is called the twilight zone. The light is indeed dimmer there, but the darkness here is not just because the light cannot penetrate hundreds of meters of sea water. It is even darker than the midnight zone below a thousand meters.
The cause of this darkness is the mysterious side. Tian Xiegui is very familiar with it because he is a monster in the dark.
The dark thing that was condensed by human fear is really nostalgic.
However, for Tian Xiegui, this kind of "nostalgia" is not a positive meaning. Now he no longer needs darkness and fear to anchor his existence, but rather he is somewhat disgusted by them.
Because I have seen the light, I begin to yearn for light.
"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a so-called 'spirit'? How come Takamagahara hasn't collapsed yet?"
A sound was heard all around, and it was impossible to determine the source of the sound for a moment.
But Tian Xiegui knew that the sound came from the bottom of the sea, the depth of the sea here was about 2000 meters. And under the seabed, there was a deep trench.
This is what Tianxie Gui just saw with his own eyes.
That trench does not exist in the real world. In legends, it is called the divine realm. The divine realm of the sea god.
It is not the Ryugu Palace that Urashima Taro visited in the story, but the more terrifying one, the Divine Prison where the sea god Susanoo used to imprison evil gods in the past.
The deepest part of the sea, the rift valley of the earth, is the abyss closest to the underworld. The evil gods imprisoned here cannot escape even for a thousand or ten thousand years. They are corroded by the poison gushing out of the underworld day and night, and will never be reborn.
Looking up from Tian Xiegui's perspective, near the sea surface, what the ZAT team thought was a reef was actually a huge crab-like monster, and the so-called island reef was just its back shell.
There is also a monster below, like a giant octopus, a sea monster tens of meters tall, with tentacles that can extend hundreds of meters away.
Not only that, this sea area is full of monsters.
The rescued crew members of the Futian were not wrong, this is indeed a paradise for sea monsters.
The reason for all this was the terrifying demon imprisoned in the former Sea God Prison in the depths of the sea. The collapse of faith and the absence of the gods freed the monsters of the abyss from their shackles.
The prison that was originally impossible to escape from became less restrictive.
"Susanoo?! You guy, I smell the scent of that false god on you." The monster in the abyss roared, and the entire sea began to shake.
The reason why Susanoo was called a false god was, of course, because he was older than Sanguizi. The power of heaven and earth changed, and even the once noble ones would lose everything once they were defeated.
But the losers still cannot forget their past glory.
The gods of the past have lost their followers, their faith, and even their names have been forgotten.
"It was you who attacked the Hyuga Maru and the Fukuda and devoured the fishermen on the fishing boats?"
The voice was silent for a moment, as if wondering why Tian Xiegui asked so many times. He was just a lowly person, how could he deserve the respect of the noble?
"Why, are there descendants of gods there? Or people protected by the gods?"
The so-called people protected by the gods refer to priests and priestesses, the anchors of the gods' faith. It is also worth mentioning for the gods, at least it is related to their face.
"None of them, they are just ordinary people. But human sacrifice is prohibited in this world."
"Huh?" He was amused by the unexpected answer. Tian Xiegui's words were completely incomprehensible to him. "Prohibit human sacrifice? Humans are nothing more than blood food for the gods. If human sacrifice is prohibited, what is the need for humans to exist?"
This is the problem of being imprisoned for thousands of years.
When He still ruled the Sea Kingdom, the entire island nation was still barbaric, and even the gods enjoyed human sacrifices. Humans were indeed no different from livestock.
The belief that people could obtain the blessing of the gods at their own whim by offering human sacrifices is still alive and well.
But now, human sacrifice is a way to death. No one can save Him, even if He is a high and mighty god.
Because of this world, this heavenly way, He considers himself to be her, and considers himself to be a human being.
The old sea god knew nothing about these things. He was already somewhat annoyed by the jumping up and down Tian Xie ghost.
What he hated even more was the smell of Tian Xiegui's blood, the offspring of Susanoo. The hatred that had imprisoned him in the dark seabed for thousands of years simply drove him crazy.
Unfortunately, He still couldn't leave the seabed. He needed more blood to get rid of the poison of the Yellow Springs that had eroded him for thousands of years, so as to gather enough strength to escape.
He can only command sea monsters, whether crabs, octopuses, or great white sharks, and give them divine power to extract the nutrients he needs.
Human fear, and flesh and blood.
What he feared was the gods, so even though there was a Kuroshio Island not far away with thousands of living creatures on the island, he did not act rashly, but only attacked two passing fishing boats in a restrained manner.
However, Susanoo did not show up, and the gods of Takama-ga-hara did not appear either. The only one who appeared was this little guy in front of him, who had just become a god and whose divine power was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
Susanoo's descendants should be crushed to death!
Then the sea monsters began to riot.
Soon after the Tianjing was launched into the air, it saw that what it thought was a 'reef' suddenly rose higher and turned into a terrifying monster.
"That's a monster! We just stepped on the back of a monster."
Kitajima and Araki were terrified, and even Kotaro hadn't noticed it beforehand. The "island" had no breath of life at all, it wasn't a living thing at all, but it suddenly came alive at this moment.
"Deputy Captain, do you want to attack?"
Kitajima asked, maybe this monster is also a native of the earth like the turtle before, if it is not harmful to humans, it also has the right to exist on the earth - this is what Ace told them.
The enthusiasm cannot be extinguished. Even if TAC is disbanded, humans will still remember it, and of course ZAT will remember it too.
"Nonsense, didn't you see the fragments of the fishing boat on its claws? That must have been left by the Hyuga Maru or the Fukuda. It was the one that attacked the fishing boat and killed the fishermen!"
Things that are harmful to humans cannot coexist.
You can say they are selfish, but they are human beings after all, and they always have to consider things from the perspective of their own race.
Enthusiasm must also be based on the premise that both parties have goodwill. Haven’t you seen how many monsters were cut and blown to pieces by Ace’s guillotine and Metalium’s beam?
If he is a real enemy, I will never show mercy.
"We won't hurt ordinary people here, so we'll solve it on the sea. Hit them hard!"
However, just as the Tianjing unlocked its weapons and prepared to attack, the sea boiled again, and another monster appeared on the sea, this time it was a giant octopus monster.
"Another? Two monsters!"
There were more than just two! In Tian Xiegui's sight, countless marine creatures in the entire sea were undergoing changes.
He, a god of the old days, the offspring of the first gods Izanagi and Izanami, the sea god Watatsumi, an immortal whose name even humans had forgotten.
Even if he was defeated and lost his divinity as the King of the Sea, he is still the oldest and most powerful god.
As long as he is in this sea, he is unmatched! This is his domain, his kingdom of God. Even if the three noble sons are reborn, even if Izanagi and Izanami themselves bring down divine punishment, he is no longer afraid.
All gods have fallen, and He is the only God left. He is undefeated and immortal. He is the way of heaven in this world, and will soon rule over all the heavens, just like Amaterasu once did!
He is the only God-King!
He—
died……
"Miss, why are you here?" Tianxiegui lowered his head deeply.
Chapter 359: Conferring the Sea God
"Miss."
At Oshima's house, Amanesha lowered his head deeply.
Ling also took off her apron. She had been tinkering with the oven before.
"Why do you want to do something dangerous? You obviously can't beat them."
Although Lingye didn't think there was much difference, the opponent was indeed stronger than Amane.
According to my estimation, there are about ten demons. Moreover, they are corrupt and smell bad, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
In Lingye's impression, Tianxiegui is just a small monster and cannot be ranked among the hundreds of ghosts.
She clearly didn't let Tianxiegui take any risks.
Tian Xie Gui, the ancient ghost god was sitting in a kneeling position, bowing his head humbly.
Although he knew that the eldest lady didn't care about this.
The smell of cookies wafted from the oven and the timer ticked. She found it fun to make desserts, and this one was for Tomoyo.
The eldest lady did not let him go, so these were all Tianxiegui's own claims.
"That Watatsumi was sealed by my grandfather." Tian Xiegui said.
The Old Gods must not be called by their names directly, otherwise, even if they are dead or buried in the deepest part of the underworld, they will awaken in human memory.
But Watatsumi could no longer wake up, and the name lost its immortal meaning from that moment on.
