Chapter 1107: Chapter 898: Pyrrhic Victory over the Realm Sea God (Part 2)

"All the equipment on my airship is matched with the characteristics of the route. Once we fly outside the route, imagine how much energy it would normally consume to maintain such a huge ship in flight?"

Michael was shocked: "First time hearing such a thing! This completely exceeds the concept we had during design development!"

Sariel immediately asked: "But this is a warship, after all, warships must be able to deal with emergencies everywhere, how can it rely on routes?"

The Fourth Prince said: "First, this is not really a warship, just a fun armed expedition ship modified secretly by us princes. Second, it’s inconvenient to say, maybe the father also needs to restrict the empire’s warships a bit. Otherwise, when some wayward general on a warship decides to sail to the Five Cities, it might cause some issues—for example, four brothers want to willfully send four City Beauties back to the city, which would indeed cause problems. Third, compared to the route’s superior characteristics, other functions can be tactically overcome..."

In the meantime, a crew member reported: "Your Highness, we’ve found the spatial passage into the Sea of Creation."

The Fourth Prince waved his hand: "Force open the space and enter!"

The next moment, the entire airship was shrouded in a thick energy shield, rushing towards the region with the densest thunderclouds.

Then, vision was reduced to zero in complete darkness, with only the giant Magic Crystal Screen in the command cabin showing the steadily expanding spatial rift ahead.

Upon entering the rift, the surrounding storm and thunder sounds abruptly ceased.

Even a faint but melodious harp melody could be heard: "Brave adventurers, this is the haven of the Eye of the Storm!"

This!?

The Fourth Prince was instantly alert: "It’s a Sea Demon! Quick, go and fetch Divine Throne Helen!"

Sariel immediately rushed to the luxurious suite where the Mermaid was staying. At this time, the bed in the suite had been temporarily removed and replaced with a bathtub.

The Mermaid was soaking in the bathtub, drowsily following the melody: "...this is the haven of the Eye of the Storm..."

Sariel shouted: "Lord of the Divine Throne! Wake up!"

The Mermaid didn’t hear him and continued singing.

Sariel hurriedly tried to wake her, but a water shield passively triggered, and a red light exploded before Sariel’s eyes—Warning! Mermaid Helen is resisting the effects of hypnosis!

Michael quickly advised him: "Don’t, be careful not to let the Mermaid get hypnotized into an enemy!"

Sariel couldn’t believe it: "This is the Guardian God of the Three Cities, being hypnotized by a Sea Demon like this?"

Raphael sighed: "After this battle in the morning, the Mermaid probably doesn’t have much divine power left."

Gabriel sighed: "She also spent a lot of divine power on celebrating."

At this moment, the airship passed through the darkness into a closed space, in the center of which was a lush green island filled with treasures and coconut trees.

A Mermaid was playing a golden harp while softly calling: "Welcome, brave and weary adventurers. You’ve discovered the door to the Treasure House..."

The Fourth Prince, Raphael, and the entire crew were shocked: "Another Mermaid!?"

Michael came to a realization: "It should be the Realm Sea God! It’s the projection of the Sea God, specifically guarding the ocean passage. As long as it’s defeated, you can pass through next time without being attacked."

Sariel couldn’t believe it: "Just another Boss to guard the gate? Even if Helen isn’t a Guardian God, she’s an SSS-level Boss, yet being hypnotized by her? How powerful is this Boss exactly?"

Michael was quite puzzled: "The Realm Sea God grows stronger as the game progresses or revives stronger after being defeated, but since you’re the first to arrive, it shouldn’t be very strong. It’s better to ask the prince for his opinion..."

Sariel had no choice but to return to the cockpit to report Helen’s situation to the prince.

The prince also found it unbelievable: "Helen is the Guardian God!"

Sariel urgently said: "But this is the Realm Sea God! It’s a true projection of the Sea God!"

Raphael said: "I think Divine Throne Helen is fighting against the Realm Sea God and has already tied up most of their power. Otherwise, the ordinary crew on the ship would have been hypnotized. We just need to seize the time to attack normally."

The Fourth Prince concurred: "This route is said to have been detected by the Pirate King. If he could handle it back in his day, my current setup can surely do it too. Let’s proceed with the normal attack!"

So the warship approached the island, the cannon doors opened wide, the muzzles aimed downward, charging up, and fired together!

The entire island was instantly engulfed in a massive light ball from the energy cannon, yet even so, the melody from the Mermaid’s harp penetrated the explosion’s roar!

But just then, a crew member urgently reported: "Discovered—"

The Fourth Prince impatiently asked: "Discovered what?"

Immediately, another crew member exclaimed: "The monitoring officer was hypnotized and shut down the monitoring system!"

The Fourth Prince was shocked and confused: "Quickly drag and restrain them, restart the monitoring!"

The next moment, a huge wind pressure fiercely pulled at the airship’s balloon from below, shaking the entire ship dramatically!

The Magic Crystal Screen finally displayed: "There’s a Giant Monster below!!"

Sariel and Raphael were suddenly stunned!

A giant mouth twice the size of the island quietly emerged from the sea; the wind pressure generated as it opened and inhaled was like a black hole pulling the balloon!

The prince was horrified: "Open the bombing doors, drop the deep-water bombs! All ship firepower, attack directly below!"

The crew reported: "Having just fired, it will take 5 seconds to complete the extreme charge!"

seconds!!

This monster specifically chooses this moment of firepower gap! Fortunately, the bombardment can proceed immediately, but the balloon begins to collapse, leaking air and won’t hold for 5 seconds!

Just then, Helen’s voice finally sounded: "Rush directly onto the fake mermaid on the island!"

The Fourth Prince didn’t need to think twice: "Prepare for emergency landing, crash—"

As soon as the words were spoken, the balloon exploded and began leaking air massively, the airship like a parachute with a hole plunging straight toward the island under its inertia!

Amidst the spinning tumult, Helen’s three water balls enveloped Sariel, Raphael, and the Fourth Prince, while both Raphael and Sariel simultaneously activated their life-saving Divine Artifacts!

—Boom!!!

A massive bang, shaking the screens of Sariel and Raphael into darkness!

Until the screen popped up with the prompt:

—System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully defeated the clone of the Realm Sea God, your level has risen to 70! You’ve earned the qualification to enter the Exotic Sea Domain of the Devil’s Triangle Sea next time without facing obstruction from the Realm Sea God. You have been awarded the "Sea God Statue."

—Area Announcement: Congratulations! Players Raphael and Sariel successfully defeated the clone of the Realm Sea God, earned the qualification to enter the Exotic Sea Domain, reputation +500,000!

...

They won!?

The chat group didn’t dare to pop the champagne prematurely because everyone knew even if it was a victory, it must have been a pyrrhic one.

Finally, Sariel’s screen was the first to recover, with the glass of the cockpit all shattered, the island and Giant Monster vanished, surrounded by a vast gray-black ocean.

The Sea of Creation!

Looking at the Fourth Prince, he was unconscious. All other crew members are gone, probably returned to the chapel awaiting revival.

Under normal circumstances, the revival function of the chapel on the ship is inferior to the revival point in the city square, requiring some time. And now, the chapel must be damaged, with the revival effect even worse.

But a report from the remnants alive still came through: "The bottom cabin is heavily flooded...close the isolation cabin..."

The Mermaid appeared as well: "Wise ones, you should be fine."

Sariel resignedly said: "Even if this ship doesn’t sink, it can’t fight anymore."

The Fourth Prince finally awoke, his first reaction to rush to the communication station: "Communication still works! Quickly, full-band communication, call my four brothers!"
