Capítulo 1917: Chapter 1915: Alarm Raised
Faced with Han Dong’s invitation, the plump starfish neither dared to agree nor refuse.
However, he quickly calmed down.
“Wait… this is the center of the deep sea, the Place of Sleep. The Dead Spirit could never set foot here, who exactly is this?”
The calm starfish no longer peeked but instead looked at the young man’s shallow surface.
Combining rumors and information from a few years ago, he immediately realized the young man’s true identity.
“Could this be the very presence that overwhelmed the contemporary Element during the ‘London Game’, earning the final victory and the ownership of the ‘Book of Dead Spirit’!”
Thinking of this, the starfish’s shriveled body slowly expanded back to its original size.
“Professor Nicholas, I must have misjudged just now… I’m really sorry.”
“You didn’t misjudge at all; in fact, your vision was quite accurate!
Do you have any thoughts on my earlier proposal? The world under my domination also includes parts of the deep sea, and you might manage that portion.”
As the “Faceless Myth” takes shape, the Adaptable Field is in effect all the time.
For example, when falling into seawater, it automatically simulates the traits of a ‘Deep-sea Diver’,
and when subjected to various sensory peeping, Han Dong’s body will adaptively ‘resist’.
The fact that the starfish saw through part of his body just now indicates the opponent’s great eyesight… at least displaying a Pupil Surgery that Han Dong had never seen before, so the Faceless One didn’t adapt in the first instant.
The starfish replied somewhat reluctantly:
“This… I really can’t answer you directly.
Because I am part of the deep sea, I fully belong to my Master.
Moreover, during the recent ‘Dream Time’, I had a brief chance conversation with my Master, receiving personal guidance and gifts from him.
This greatly enhanced my [The Eye], and I was subsequently invited to work in Laleye.
Even if I want to follow you, I must get direct consent from my Master.”
“So you’ve received direct guidance; the so-called ‘Dream’ is indeed interesting… it all depends on your willingness. Later, I’ll see if there’s a chance to request you.
Let’s put this matter aside for now, help me handle the ‘Dream Time Card’ first.”
“Yes! Allow me to take your blood sample.”
A blood sample must be taken,
as it’s an important reference for verifying bloodline, identity, and status in the deep sea, and is also one of the materials for making the time card.
“Take it from this arm.” Han Dong smiled, deliberately extending his right arm.
Since the deep sea has a strict mechanism for ‘blood sample’ testing, it was a good opportunity for them to check the blood state of the right arm, possibly deepening Han Dong’s understanding of it.
The extracted blood was preserved in a transparent pouch.
And the blood drawn from Han Dong’s body shimmered with a red glow, illuminating the current area, overshadowing other light… even the walls illuminated by the blood light seeped blood.
The essence blood in the pouch took on a semi-crystalline state, with beautiful blood-red crystals floating inside.
You could feel a strong vitality through the test tube.
It seemed as if each crystal could independently generate a terrifying blood monster.
It was the first time the fat starfish had seen such blood, and curiously placed the blood sample into the testing equipment, flipping the switch.
This equipment, connected to the Main Temple, was costly and recently replaced.
Within just a few seconds, numerous indices exceeded limits, causing a direct explosion…
Due to the successful upload of blood data, even the great presence dormant within the Temple seemed to show signs of awakening because of this blood.
The entire ancient city of Laleye began to stir.
a water column rose from the Temple at the center of the ancient city.
Accompanied by a Fishman shadow leaping forth, diving towards the blood testing area.
Shattering the deep-sea rock-layer structure of the building,
the body was covered in shimmering Fish Scales, with secret method lines flowing between each scale and muscle gap, each breath forming a heavy circular water pressure.
Presenting before Han Dong, the starfish, and Miss Arannis, the guide.
“What kind of fiend dares intrude upon Laleye!”
The sound thundered through the seabed.
Numerous large sea creatures and sleeping kin awoke, quickly surrounding the area.
The next second, they were immediately embarrassed.
“Mister Hyde, long time no see! Have your muscles and deep-sea secret abilities fully fused? Congratulations!”
Han Dong completely disregarded the besieged situation, stepping forward to pat Hyde’s back muscles.
Indeed, the one who had arrived was the Eighth Element [Supreme Glory – Hyde Darius Hyde].
Upon uttering those words, Hyde finally saw Han Dong’s face clearly, immediately regretting his actions.
“Oh… it’s Mr. Nicholas, this is really a misunderstanding.” Hyde quickly turned to the surrounding Deep Sea Tribe, “I apologize for disturbing everyone’s sleep, it’s my sensory error.”
After all, they all sensed the blood mixed in the seawater, blood that made them feel extremely dangerous.
The fish dispersed, and calm returned.
Hyde also noticed a familiar woman standing behind Han Dong,
“Hmm? Arannis, when did you return?”
Faced with the questioning from the Eighth Element, Arannis showed no intimidation; instead, she arrogantly replied:
“Do you really think I wanted to return? It’s just that I happened to encounter Professor Nicholas outside and offered to guide him… seriously, don’t act without understanding the situation, you truly haven’t changed a bit.”
“…” Hyde was left speechless; indeed, it was his fault.
“Um, do you two know each other?”
Hyde’s attitude toward Han Dong was very friendly,
for a simple reason: Han Dong was one of the few individuals, according to Pope, acknowledged as being on the same level.
“That’s right, Arannis is my sister~”
Han Dong knew very well that Hyde’s identity was anything but simple.
Aside from being the Eighth Element, Hyde was also an exceptionally rare “Enchanted” in the deep sea, a title that meant he had intimate contact with a great presence through dreams since birth.
Such contact endowed him with extraordinary oceanic talent, while his body was also transcendent.
Given she’s his sister, she wouldn’t be any less impressive.
“We’ll talk about Arannis later~ Nicholas, come here for a moment.”
Compared to his long-lost sister, another matter seemed more urgent for Hyde, and he needed to question it clearly.
Mysteriously pulling Han Dong to a corner.
“Nicholas, do you know about Pope’s [Becoming King]?”
“Yes, we were together at the time.”
Upon hearing this, Hyde’s multiple eyelids blinked repeatedly, filled with excitement.
“Quickly, tell me in detail what happened then; I’ve been training in dreams lately and haven’t had the chance to talk to Pope…”
“Sure, but I have important matters to discuss with ‘my Master’ this time; shall we discuss while walking? Then maybe Hyde could introduce me later.”
“Of course, no problem; let’s go then.”
