Chapter 833 - 193: Overlord vs. Deity
At the seabed of the Central Sea Area.
Countless wrecks and skeletal remains, seemingly guided by an invisible force, emerged from the thick silt.
They seemed to lose gravity,
slowly rising upward, upward.
The seaweed entwined around the skeletal remains tore away, revealing their pale hue within.
In distorted and twisted postures, they floated up towards the surface.
Then, just as they were about to reach the surface, all these skeletal remains transformed into tiny white particles, converging in a specific direction.
The fallen bones of old,
forge today’s divine beings!
In the Eastern Sea Area, the East King sat on his warship.
He opened his mouth, like a great whale drinking water, swallowing all the incoming white particles entirely!
The next moment, his aura erupted, undergoing a tremendous transformation.
The East King’s warship "Chixiao" was constructed with a special material, Chixiao Wood.
At its front, there was a red dragon-shaped ram, symbolizing its power.
Being a warship designed for ramming, it was much larger than typical ships, just like the East King, imposing and domineering.
When the East King broke through to Level 100, the "Chixiao" also evolved.
Little by little, white skeletal particles emerged, wrapping around the ship, transforming "Chixiao" into a newly skeletal warship in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, the giant dragon ram at the bow underwent mutation, reforming into a giant skull with hollow eye sockets within which green ghostly flames burned!
The mutation of "Chixiao" startled the other crew members on board into awareness. As they attempted to speak, they too were engulfed by the swirling white particles.
In no time, the originally flesh-and-blood crew members transformed into skeletal remnants like those that lay beneath the sea.
Realizing something was wrong, the East King stood up sharply, but it was too late.
More white particles engulfed him.
His once sturdy form began to change; his flesh vanished, replaced by bones as white as snow.
Unwillingly, the East King lowered his head, gazing at his now entirely skeletal lower half, and let out an anguished roar:
"No! This isn’t the divine being I wanted!"
"This isn’t—" His voice abruptly cut off, his head drooping. When he looked up again, he had already been wholly transformed into a Skeleton General.
"This is the divine being I want!"
"Roar!"
The same green flames burned passionately in the eyes of the East King as he grasped the gigantic glaive standing beside him, flames rising from the blade as well.
As the long blade swung, nothing could stand in its way.
A hoarse voice came from his mouth, "Set forth, to end their lives!"
In the Western Sea Area.
The West King’s fate was the same as the East King’s.
Filled with an abundance of skeletal particles, he had become a skeletal being.
A divine skeletal being.
The West King’s warship "Hidden Moth," adept in stealth and boarding battles, also underwent mutation upon breaking through to Divine Level.
The entirety of his ship grew a pair of long, wide bone wings, and as the wings flapped, the "Hidden Moth" began to turn transparent.
In the split second before disappearing, its hull completely left the sea surface, flying towards the sky!
In the Southern Sea Area.
The South King removed his hood, revealing a face of skeletal white bone beneath it.
In his personal panel, another task prompt appeared.
"Side Quest: Undead Scourge."
"Quest Description: Using the incorrect item ’Thief’s Finger,’ fabricate a false mission. Upon completion, the scope of the disaster will be determined by the number of remains."
"Quest Status: Completed!"
"Completed indeed." The South King’s eyes burned with a ghostly green flame, saying softly.
From the shadow beneath him split a twisted dark shadow.
It climbed out from the South King’s shadow, and if Han Zhan were here, he would surely recognize it as a Meng Hou!
But this Meng Hou seemed somewhat different from ordinary ones.
"Pleasant cooperation." The South King looked at this Meng Hou with an eerie smile.
At this moment, the Meng Hou also looked at the South King, its form slowly transforming into the South King, showing the same eerie smile.
"Pleasant cooperation."
...
In the main battlefield of the Central Sea Area.
The "Garuda" stood on the sea, surrounded by other ships like stars encircling the moon.
Not only Jian Beifang, but Han Zhan could also sense the presence of three divine beings, slightly raising his eyebrows.
Indeed, resolving any Land of the End was never simple, ultimately confronting opponents of Divine Level.
Unrivaled Grass Cutting was still feasible, but facing such powerful foes nonetheless promised a fierce battle.
"Then let’s see who’s tougher!"
As soon as Han Zhan’s words fell, the Central Sea Area in their view abruptly changed.
The sea, which had been shrouded by dark clouds and pouring rain, was swallowed up, erasing even the last remnants of faint light.
An endless darkness engulfed the world; upon the ink-black sea, strange red flowers slowly bloomed.
Those were the Netherworld-flowers that only bloomed in the Realm of Death!
Thud, thud-thud.
Heavy thuds, like the beating of war drums; amidst the sea illuminated by the scarlet of the Netherworld-flowers, one warship after another appeared.
Without exception, these were Skeleton Warships, constructed entirely of pale bones!
Their course was through the Nether Sea!
"It’s a Domain."
Han Zhan observed the scene, speaking in a deep voice.
After breaking through to Divine Level, one would master different Domains, and the scene before them must be a Domain cast by one of the Three Kings.
Two methods could counter a Domain.
One was to unleash one’s own Divine Domain, but after glancing at Feng Xiaozao, Han Zhan decided against it.
While Feng Xiaozao was also a divine being, she hadn’t yet mastered the Divine Body, let alone the ability to deploy a Domain.
The second method was as always Han Zhan’s preferred strategy when battling divine beings.
Direct confrontation!
If it’s a Domain, then crush it!
"Garuda, lock on target, open fire!"
Boom!
The terrifyingly powerful shells hit the Skeleton Warship, shattering it instantly.
But in no time, those splintered bone fragments reassembled, returning to their original form.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Skeleton Warships also fired, their shells hitting the Northern King’s Old Forces’ ships, releasing a mass of bone shrapnel upon explosion.
In the next moment, the fragmented bone pieces gathered into individual skeletal crew members, wielding bone knives, killing wantonly across various ships.
"Garuda" also had fragments of bone scattering, but before forming, a purifying light emitted from the ship, setting them ablaze with holy fire.
Before long, they burnt to ashes, thoroughly dispersed by the wind.
Seeing this, Han Zhan’s eyes brightened.
