Chapter 75: The Empress’s Revenge
The two women were about to turn around and attack Kevin, but he stopped them by summoning Eliana.
Eliana’s eyes flashed with golden light. Her invisible psychic power slammed into Labis and Hillary.
"Eliana, you betrayed the Empress!" Labis shouted. She used her own psychic power to fight back.
"Traitor! I’m going to eat you!" Hillary screamed. Her hair spread out, and each centipede grew bigger as they flew through the air.
By the time they reached Eliana, the centipedes had grown to over a hundred meters long.
Just as Eliana was about to get killed by the two of them, two scrolls fell from the sky at the last second.
Boom!
Kevin shouted and fired two shots in front of him. He easily broke the two scrolls.
[Enchanting Gaze] was activated!
Dark clouds suddenly filled the sky. Lilith’s eyes opened like two blood-red moons, looking down from above.
Labis and Hillary looked up — and immediately got locked onto by those two red moons.
The psychic energy around them went crazy and fell apart.
The psychic power that had been holding Eliana down disappeared.
Hillary’s centipede hair, which had grown to over a hundred meters, started wandering around like it had lost its target.
Splash! Splash! Splash!
One after another, human-faced wasps fell into the sea.
The swarm that had surrounded the eighteen ships had all been hypnotized by the red moon in the sky.
Not only had they lost their minds, but they had also lost control of their bodies. They could only let themselves fall into the terrifying sea.
Even some brave Survivors who looked up at the blood-red moon got caught by Lilith’s creepy charm. They lost their minds and fell into a trance.
One of them even dropped his pants right there on the deck and started pooping.
Someone shamelessly undressed and masturbated in front of everyone.
Another person pulled out a stick from somewhere and inserted it into their own anus.
The other Survivors, witnessing this scene, suddenly realized their companions had been mentally manipulated, too terrified to look up.
"This is terrifying. What did they see? How could they do something so horrible?"
"They’ve all been mind-controlled. Everyone, don’t look up at the sky. And don’t look down at the reflection in the water."
"But what is that red glow around us? How did it even fool the human-faced wasps and make them all jump into the sea?"
"That thing is attacking every living thing around here without caring who it hits. Let’s try not to provoke it. Maybe it’ll leave after a while."
"This is too scary. Who released this power? Is it a Survivor or an Eldritch Entity?"
"I think I just saw a familiar flying dragon in the sky far away, flying toward us."
Inside the wheelhouse of the deep-sea fishing boat,
Raphael rubbed her forehead. She struggled to get up and leaned against the wall. "Is that the Mist Phantom King?"
The image of that dragon from earlier was very familiar to her.
Toti walked over to Raphael and reached out to help her up. "Yeah, I saw it too. It looks exactly like that giant dragon the Mist Phantom King summoned."
Raphael rubbed her forehead and took a deep breath. "The system doesn’t lie. That Mist Phantom King was definitely killed by Amelia. If anyone else can summon that Dragon Form Mist Phantom, it’s probably only Amelia or Luna."
Toti froze for a moment. "No way? That Dragon Form Mist Phantom was a monster that could survive more than a dozen rounds of our cannon fire. Some Survivor can actually summon it to fight? That’s insane."
Raphael shook her head. "It’s not that strange. When Eldritch Entities die, they can drop random Eldritch Artifacts. Maybe Amelia or Luna picked up an Eldritch Artifact from the Mist Phantom King’s corpse that lets you summon a Dragon Form Mist Phantom."
Hearing this, Toti sighed. "Then they’re fucking lucky."
At the same time, Labis and Hillary had already been completely taken over by Lilith.
With a look of devotion on their faces, they stared at the blood-red moon in the sky and bowed down in midair, paying respects to the two red moons.
"Ready to follow your orders."
"Ready to do your bidding."
Right after that, the blood-red moon cast down two red beams of light.
The light hit Labis and Hillary, and directly sucked them into the blood-red moon.
Kevin stood on the back of the Dragon Form Mist Phantom, silently watching everything.
Suddenly, Lilith’s voice sounded in his ear. "Kevin, you did well. My promise to you still stands."
"When the time comes, you can use the Eldritch Mall VIP Card to summon me. I’ll help you once for free. I don’t put any enemy below Lord level in my eyes."
As Lilith’s voice faded, a notification sound rang in Kevin’s ear.
[Affection +3]
Then, a message from his system backpack popped up.
Kevin opened it and was so shocked he couldn’t close his mouth.
Just now, Lilith had sent him a trade request. The item she was trading was a notebook called "Human-faced Wasp Egg Shell Cultivation Manual."
It contained a lot of methods and experience for raising human-faced wasp egg shells.
This couldn’t directly improve Kevin’s strength, but it could give him the best path for training Eliana.
In his past life, some powerful Survivors would often gain the recognition of Eldritch Entities through various opportunities. This allowed them to control Eldritch Entities and use them to fight.
This was different from the summoning ability of the "Wraith Revolver," because the Eldritch Entities controlled by a Survivor could grow and become stronger.
Some humanoid Eldritch Entities could even wear equipment and weapons just like a Survivor, and use Eldritch Artifacts to fight.
In his past life, there were even Survivors who helped the Eldritch Entities they controlled awaken a Talent ability.
So in a way, these Eldritch Entities that followed a Survivor were no different from normal Survivors, except that they couldn’t use the system or directly get system rankings and rewards.
Thinking about this, Kevin decided to study this manual carefully when he had time.
As a Commander-level Eldritch Entity, Eliana’s potential might even allow her to advance to Lord level.
After all, even in his past life, a single Lord-level Eldritch Entity was enough to wipe out Kevin and his entire team.
Just then, Eliana returned to Kevin’s side.
She took Kevin’s arm and said in amazement, "As expected of a scroll made by Lady Lilith herself. Its power is incredible."
Kevin tapped Eliana’s nose and reminded her, "That meatball Empress must be furious by now, right?"
When Eliana heard this, her face turned pale.
She looked at Kevin carefully and said softly, "Honey, the Empress can track my location at all times. If I stay with you, sooner or later the Empress will come after us."
Kevin spread his hands and smiled. "It’s fine. Even if that meatball wants to chase us, we’ll be hundreds of nautical miles away by the time she gets here."
Eliana shook her head quickly. "No, that’s not it. Several of the Empress’s eggs have slipped out of her control. She’s probably already begging the evil god Soros for help."
"Evil god?" When Kevin heard this word, his nerves immediately tensed up.
Eliana explained softly, "Our entire human-faced wasp race is the favored race of Lord Soros, the evil god. The reason we keep capturing humanoid creatures to mate and reproduce is to help spread Lord Soros’s glory and faith."
"Now, as an enemy, you are blocking the evil god’s faith from spreading, cutting off his light, and even threatening his most loyal servant. Lord Soros will probably send down a divine decree. Soon, many of the evil god’s favored races on this terrifying sea will come after you."
When she finished speaking, Eliana’s voice started to crack with tears.
Kevin gently patted her head and comforted her. "Don’t worry. If they come, they’ll just be delivering rewards to me."
With that, Kevin looked down at the eighteen ships on the sea.
Since the blood-red light in the sky hadn’t completely faded, the Survivors on the decks still didn’t dare to look up.
Seeing this, Kevin couldn’t be bothered to meet them or say hello. He simply turned the Dragon Form Mist Phantom around and flew toward his Two-Masted Sloop.
Slowly, the red light in the sky completely disappeared, and the sea returned to its usual calm.
Those Survivors who had been pooping on the decks, masturbating, or sticking things up their own butts finally came to their senses.
When they saw what they had done, they were filled with shame and anger. They all turned around and ran back into their cabins, afraid to run into their teammates and be pointed at or laughed at.
The Captains settled down their crew members and went to the deep-sea fishing boat to discuss the next steps with Raphael.
But when they saw that a lock of Raphael’s golden hair had suddenly turned white, everyone fell into silence.
Finally, Richard lit his water pipe, took a deep drag, and started the conversation. "Everyone, tonight we lost half of our crew, and most of the weapons we traded from Celula are gone. I’m proposing again that we join up with those women from Celula as soon as possible. The crew and weapons we lost need to be made up by them."
Derek stood off to the side, standing on his tiptoes. The usual smirk was gone from his face. "I agree with Richard. And I suggest we reorganize the fleet. We don’t have enough people to keep nine teams anymore."
Oliver leaned on his cane, squinted, and coldly swept his eyes across everyone in the room. "Old man here is going to say the same thing again. If you want to screw other people over, go ahead. But count me out."
He paused for a moment and then continued. "I think a lot of people here want to stay neutral, just like me. Why don’t we split into three factions based on our stance? What do you think?"
Oliver’s suggestion was quickly accepted by most of the Captains.
In the end, a new fleet was formed, led by three Captains: Oliver, Robin, and Tom.
