Chapter 552 - 213: All of a Sudden, All the Enemies Pledged Fealty...

In a domain made entirely of seawater, the Black Tortoise was Invincible!

I don’t need to worry too much!

"ROAR!"

Following Shen Fei’s command, the Black Tortoise let out a furious roar and decisively quickened its pace.

Instantly, the small form of the Black Tortoise—which had been hiding in the water, manipulating the currents to stop the various NPCs and bosses from escaping—began to surface before everyone’s eyes. Unfortunately, although the NPCs and bosses saw the Black Tortoise’s figure, in the seawater, where it was Invincible in speed, Invincible in Defense Power, and Invincible in its control of Sea Power, no one could stand in its way.

Amidst the chaos, Shen Fei even found the time to start tossing out access links to the [Ninth World] in all directions. Tossing them out and pulling them back, he made the situation even more chaotic...

"Hm?"

Shen Fei, hidden in a corner, had just used the Vine Tower to bind a member of the Sea Race, preparing for a quick interrogation. He never expected the entire scene would suddenly change.

He saw that the Sea Race, who had been entangled with the NPCs and bosses, had all retreated in a single instant. Moreover, they formed a neat perimeter, surrounding the chaotic area. At the same time, a large contingent of the Sea Race rushed out in a panic from the massive structure in the distance, the Dragon Palace.

Seeing that second wave of the Sea Race charge out of the Dragon Palace, Shen Fei had a feeling, as if the entire Sea Race had mobilized in full force.

What the hell is this?

The Sea Race’s sudden change of behavior made Shen Fei freeze.

"The Black Tortoise!" No. 0 suddenly shouted a warning. "Their attention is entirely on the Black Tortoise!"

WHOOSH.

Prompted by No. 0’s shout, Shen Fei’s gaze swept across the scene. Then, he saw that the situation was exactly as No. 0 had described. The attention of the retreating Sea Race, including the second wave that had just charged out, was entirely focused on the Black Tortoise, which had revealed its form and was now rampaging through a specific area.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

While Shen Fei was still in shock, the second wave of the Sea Race had already joined the battlefield. Then, he saw that those Sea Race members were actually coordinating with the Black Tortoise, blocking the escape routes of the NPCs and bosses.

Such a scene was something Shen Fei had never even heard of.

WHOOSH.

As Shen Fei wondered what was happening, a flash of red light appeared. He saw a female member of the Sea Race, wearing a crown and glittering with golden phosphorescence, materialize directly in front of the Black Tortoise.

As she appeared, the spectral image of a card engraved with a red heart slowly faded away in the nearby space.

Holy shit!!

Seeing the crowned Sea Race member suddenly appear before the Black Tortoise, and moreover, realizing she had clearly used a Uniqueness item, the Red Heart A, just like the Black Spade A, Shen Fei had initially thought this was the Sea Race’s Emperor. He assumed she had discovered the troublemaking Black Tortoise and was coming straight for it.

But what he never expected was, just as he was about to recall the Black Tortoise, the Sea Race Emperor who had just appeared made a move that no one could have anticipated.

Under Shen Fei’s dumbfounded gaze, she dropped to one knee with a swish, kneeling directly before the Black Tortoise. With one hand over her chest, she respectfully called out, "Water God!!"

"Ah!"

"Ah?!?"

The situation on the field was also witnessed by No. 0 and Xiaohong. Their initial thoughts had been the same as Shen Fei’s. They also never, ever imagined that the final outcome would be like this.

This sudden, bizarre turn of events made the two women beside Shen Fei stare wide-eyed, their faces masks of utter astonishment.

Just like Shen Fei and his two companions, the chaotic Intelligent NPCs and Super Bosses were also completely stunned when they saw the crowned Sea Race member suddenly appear and, in an instant, respectfully kneel before the Black Tortoise.

This...?

What was this situation?!

The incredibly powerful Sea Race, who controlled a third of the strength in this largest special region of the Pacific Ocean—and this was even their Emperor—was kneeling before the Black Tortoise!

Everyone! Every single person was frozen in shock by this scene. The chaos from moments ago fell silent in an instant.

SWISH!

As the crowned Sea Race Emperor knelt on one knee, all the other members of the Sea Race also ceased fighting and knelt in the direction of the Black Tortoise.

What the hell! What is going on?!

Never having imagined that something like this would happen, Shen Fei had no idea what to do now. He even saw that the Sea Race member he had just bound with the Vine Tower was ignoring his predicament, kneeling on one knee with a hand to his chest in the direction of the Black Tortoise.

ROAR!!

While everyone except the Sea Race was still trying to process what on earth was happening, the Black Tortoise suddenly let out a furious roar. Its body, which had been concealed in the seawater, suddenly and violently expanded.

In the blink of an eye, the previously "invisible" Black Tortoise threw its head back and roared, its body swelling to several hundred meters in size.

SWISH!

As the Black Tortoise gave this small demonstration of its size, the kneeling members of the Sea Race instantly bowed even more reverently.

Everyone could even hear deafening, triumphant music suddenly erupting from the distant Dragon Palace...

I...

Seeing this, Shen Fei was a little dumbfounded. He knew that his Black Tortoise was Invincible. Back in the game, this one had cost him tens of millions. It was a unique entity with a distinct name: "Black Tortoise."

When this one had first been inherited from the game,
