Chapter 825 Everything That Needs to Be Done Has Been Done
"Kong, you could actually be more patient. By then, the big drunkard will make his move and kill the stone golem, and our concealment will remain flawless!"
Holding the longsword upside down in one hand and protecting Paimon beside him with the other, he retorted irritably, "I'll endure it a little longer? I'll listen to you if you can make your trembling legs stop shaking like a leaf."
Clearly, the two little guys thought they were hiding perfectly, but because Boethius suddenly activated the golem army, the little white-haired guy was frightened and had no choice but to use his sword skills to force back the golems that suddenly came to life around him.
Paimon's cowardly nature was exposed by Kong, but he still forced himself to speak to Xu Ning: "Cough, you big drunkard, it's quite a coincidence that we meet on the road to finding treasure!"
"laugh!"
Before Xu Ning could speak, Maomao sneered.
"To the Remurians who observe the world with their ears and minds, the sound of your footsteps and the whispers of your plot are as clear as thunder in their ears. You have clearly been following us from the docks."
Her face flushed red when her true intentions were suddenly exposed.
How could Xu Ning not notice that these two little ones had rushed here in a hurry after he realized he was missing, and followed behind him?
"Want to join in the fun with your Brother Xu? Well, it doesn't really matter. After all, Cat and I are very familiar with these golems. These guys are basically no threat..."
As Xu Ning spoke, he casually summoned a spring of wine that washed over the surrounding golems.
Just as Xiaobaimao said, as soon as Xu Ning made his move, these golems, like the broken stone statues at the dock, were instantly swept away by Jiuquan and returned to Xu Ning's wine gourd.
The stone statues, having lost their souls, could barely hold on for a moment before crumbling and scattering, instantly annihilating!
"That rude guy just now, what was he talking about, talking about controlling the power of the deep sea, and that the power of the ocean is increasing? What's going on with all that?"
Without the threat of the golem, the little white-haired creature suddenly became strong again, and flew unsteadily to Xu Ning's side, asking curiously.
Kong had some thoughts on these matters and immediately spoke them out.
"I think it must be due to the sudden rise in water levels a while ago. A lot of the water from the primordial womb sea surged up and mixed into the water veins, which is why that person felt a sudden increase in the power contained in the water. However, if he wants to control the power of the deep sea..."
As Kong said this, he couldn't help but feel a little lost. How many times was this?
Whether it's prophecy, masters, or that man named Boethius who just appeared, they all seem to be plotting to use the primordial ocean to destroy this solid and beautiful world.
However, he could clearly see that Brother Xu had absorbed almost all the water from the fetal sea into his hidden grotto.
This radical move rendered the schemes that subsequent conspirators had been plotting for centuries a joke.
The only difference is that the person who was shocked by this was a "master," while the next "victim" has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter and is still shamelessly trying to control the deep sea.
As Kong explained to the little white-haired boy, he silently mourned the fate that boy was about to suffer.
"Boethius should be carrying out his plan over at the Golden Palace. Let's head this way."
The cat raised its tail and jumped directly into a portal emitting a deep blue light. Behind the portal was a deep-sea passage leading downwards, seemingly to an incredibly vast space.
As the group emerged from the passage, a strange sight appeared before them.
In the underwater world filled with strangely shaped rocks, nestled among a group of enormous stone pillars, lies the phantom of the soul of an incomparably huge, sky-devouring whale…
"How could there be a giant whale here? And it seems that its physical body has been completely obliterated, leaving only its soul?"
Just as Paimon was surprised, even though only the enormous soul body remained, three thick chains could still be seen passing through its body, firmly fixing it there.
Kong turned to look at the cat with some surprise, since among the people here, it seemed that the cat knew the most.
"What kind of crime did it commit, such as consuming the waters of the primordial womb, that would trap it here?"
"To swallow the waters of the womb sea?"
Cat was taken aback. "How could you have such a strange idea? After all, Lord Scylla was the guardian of the Primordial Sea of the Embryo back then. Although it's not quite right to say that, since the entire Primordial Sea of the Embryo was under its jurisdiction, how could drinking some water be considered a crime?"
There was a moment of silence.
The cat's words made so much sense that I couldn't refute them for the time being. But what exactly happened to this big guy that led to his predicament?
"This Lord Scylla and Supreme Remus were initially enemies, but later became friends. However, because I was separated from the Symphony by the Supreme, what happened afterward is not very clear. But according to later historical records, it betrayed our Supreme, leading all his dragonborn to attack Remuria. In the end, it was tricked by Boethius, who used the Insoluble Dew to destroy its body and then chained it here with three chains..."
Although Sora didn't know what the "Insoluble Spirit Dew" that the cat mentioned was, judging from the powerful effects it had previously displayed, it was likely that using such a thing would not be beautiful at all.
Neither Kong nor Maomao noticed that Xu Ning was slowly walking towards the center of the iron chain.
"I never imagined you would end up in this state. If I had known, I should have come to see you back then."
Xu Ning slightly raised the gourd, wondering if Scylla, who was tightly bound by three chains and forced to lie on her back, could see this greeting.
As if suddenly hearing a familiar voice, the enormous body moved abruptly.
"It's you," a huge roar suddenly echoed from the seabed. "You're a bit late, but it doesn't matter. Everything that needed to be done has been done."
Xu Ning took a sip of wine and smiled. "If that's really the case, then we can't let meritorious officials suffer like this. Just bear with it for a little longer. I'll go down and settle some old scores, and while I'm at it, I'll remove this damn chain for you. Then we can catch up."
Scylla chuckled, seemingly quite pleased as well.
“Hey kitten over there, you must be the little guy Remus sent away back then. Since fate has brought you back here, there are some things I won’t have to do myself.”
