The enormous sea waves, under the influence of so unknown force, twisted into the shape of an arm and mimicked the motion of offering a handshake.
After a long ti, the waves did not crash down, did not destroy the island, and the boundless seawater returned slowly to the ocean, following a trajectory that could stir Newton from his grave.
But the figure that darted continuously through the sky above kept writing that sa sentence in the air, so that every person in the world could witness the averting of this disaster.
The hero known as Light Arrow Knight, with a speed beyond human imagination, wrote those words in the sky... clearly not addressed to the Ark.
He was conveying hope to all the people watching this despair unfold live!
We are friends!
Before the final annihilation arrived, no one had imagined such a scene would occur.
The ultimate despair turned into hope the mont those words appeared!
Just as when the largest monster in Manser City was eliminated, people felt as much joy at this mont as the fear of death they had felt before.
They did not know about the war between the monstrous ship and the nation; to them, this giant cruise ship had not co to destroy them but with a gesture of peace!
A mother holding her child wept with joy, lifting her child high as if to give thanks to the heavens.
The President, pacing and ready to resign due to guilt, suddenly went weak at the knees, the worry on his face dissipated, yet it was replaced with lingering fear.
In a certain room, the boy who had been forced by his sister to go through a rite of passage... suddenly froze.
The huge shift from death to life left him facing an awkward problem—he realized they had not taken any precautions just now.
What’s the point in taking precautions if you’re about to die? That’s what he and his sister had thought.
But then suddenly discovering... they were not going to die. He montarily didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad. So he sent a ssage:
"Damn, looks like I’m not dying after all, but how do I face the fact that I didn’t wear...? Urgent, waiting online!"
People holding hands, prepared to die together, didn’t understand what was happening, but they could feel that the cruise ship would no longer bring destruction!
No one knew what had happened to that massive ship.
The seaport’s defenses seed like a joke now, the daredevil squad mbers were returned one by one by the tides.
They had no mory of boarding the ship, but they quickly realized sothing... the ship bore no malice towards humans.
Otherwise, this entity comparable to a city on the sea could have easily obliterated humanity.
People simply thought of it as a giant monster expressing its goodwill towards humans, perhaps Light Arrow Knight, with his imnse power, had conquered the massive cruise ship, at least that’s how it appeared to the people, the reappearance of the light was no coincidence.
But the upper echelons of various nations were sweating profusely.
They were clearer on the fact that it must have been the Light Arrow Knight, the rumored savior of Aulora Manser City, who had done sothing, otherwise, the ship wouldn’t have spared humanity.
They had provoked the ship twice and in the eyes of the world’s leaders, the massive Ark seed poised to destroy humanity in its rage as it sailed towards Crescent Seaport!
Just like how it had demolished River Return Port in Jin Ze Country, this ti it might be even more ruthless, displaying even greater power.
But who knows what the Light Arrow Knight had done... to actually stop the ship!
He even made it take on the form of the sea and gesture a handshake for peace!
How inconceivable is this? Even if the leaders indulged in a fantasy of victory, they wouldn’t dare to imagine this.
More astonished and perplexed than the general populace, more than the international leaders... were the two Q figures within Mil Emperor Building in Sanchez City.
Club Q’s face was full of shock, her delicate features contorted with the intensity of her astonishnt.
In this lavishly decorated room, her sowhat urgent voice echoed not long ago.
But now, she was speechless.
Just a string of question marks filled her mind...
Wasn’t this ship rumored to induce amnesia upon entry? Wasn’t it protected by special rules?
How could he enter? How co he was unhard upon entering? Just who is this person?
Why could he command this huge vessel?
On what grounds? On what grounds!
Club Q couldn’t find the words to speak, her chest heaving slightly faster. The feelings of anger and humiliation made her hands tremble slightly.
The pride of the mont before had beco the greatest irony.
What made her unable to accept the situation was that, even at this point, she could not figure out where the problem lay with her plan!
Humans could despair upon seeing power they couldn’t match. Not long ago, though there had erged a strong obstructer, there wasn’t a single easy opponent on this ship...
Even if the ship were stopped, it shouldn’t have just halted like this! It at least should have sparked a war, a war serious enough to leave the Light Arrow Knight gravely injured.
But where was the war?
There was no war at all.
The behemoth that was ant to destroy everything suddenly stood beside the prey, the imnse despair at that mont, once again... like the reoccurrence of Manser City, directly transford into hope.
Club Q was so angry she gritted her teeth, yet she couldn’t understand how that Light Arrow Knight did it.
The trap she had set was supposed to be insoluble.
It was like an escapology magic show where the fake lock was replaced with a real one, waiting for the magician to drown in the water.
And yet... he didn’t die. The magic trick that was supposed to be a failure miraculously succeeded.
Club Q was also unable to comprehend.
According to the intelligence he intercepted from the inan National Security Bureau, this ship shouldn’t have been reachable.
No one from the ship had landed yet, so it could be ruled out that the Light Arrow Knight, who had stopped Red Heart Q, was a crew mber of this ship.
Because if that were the case, many things would seem contradictory.
And if he wasn’t a crew mber of the ship, why could he make the ship stop?
Why was there not even a battle?
Incomprehensible.
So much so that Club Q suddenly felt a tinge of fear, just who was this Light Arrow Knight?
Counting this incident, it ant he had already foiled the plans of two Qs.
Club Q and Heart Q had both been defeated by him, it’s just that Club Q was lucky, at least not exposed to the enemy.
But what Club Q didn’t know was that the Diamond Q had already fallen as well. And, in fact, was closely related to this Light Arrow Knight.
"I don’t know how he did it, I just can’t understand," Club Q finally said with a pale face after a long ti. Club Q also shook his head and said:
"I don’t know either, maybe there’s a possibility that this Light Arrow Knight can ignore the rules of the Ark and is friends with the owner of the Ark. Only by satisfying these two conditions can I imagine the current outco."
Club Q couldn’t accept it:
"I refuse to believe there are so many coincidences... How could there be such coincidences!"
"Calm down. Although the monsters in the cruise ship are a good resource for sparking fear, it has beco clear now. Under the influence of the Light Arrow Knight, the massive ship has not only failed to beco a threat to humanity, an apocalyptic weapon, but it has actually beco a salvaging Ark that helps humanity," said Club Q.
"The fear you ignited... has now beco the fertile soil of firm human courage. Club Q, you have failed."
Although Club Q had always been close to Heart Q, it was because of the chanical Descending God that he needed so convenience in certain areas, and Heart Q had that ability.
Because she controlled people’s hearts, she manipulated a part of inan’s elite.
But when it ca to the credit for igniting fear, Club Q certainly didn’t want to share if he could monopolize it.
Club Q probably couldn’t co up with another plan in a short ti.
But his chanical Descending God had already completed the final coverage through Heart Q’s control over inan’s elite.
When the excitent that the Light Arrow Knight brought to humanity slowly dissipated, he would unleash an even more deadly fear upon the world.
"I won’t give up; I will accomplish the task dad entrusted to . This Light Arrow Knight, I’ll find a way to deal with him once and for all. I swear!"
Spades Q said fiercely.
Clubs Q knew that these were just words for the mont, but he had to admit, the person who had stopped both Spades Q and Hearts Q was a threat to be taken seriously.
"I will help you, as always. I can’t rest easy until this man is gone. It’s impossible for him to have left no trace at all. As long as he’s left information in this world, I can drag him out of hiding."
Although Clubs Q’s styling and appearance were trendy and punk, he wasn’t one for flamboyant overconfidence.
It’s just that one person’s abilities are limited. For instance, his power is information surveillance, a very common power that allows him to intuitively understand and write in various informational languages.
Complex code that seems like gibberish to others appears as nothing more than straightforward and plain text to him.
This power is useless Inside the Mist, where there is hardly any information civilization.
But outside Hei Wu, it’s a different story; one could say he was born with abilities that are several epochs ahead of humanity.
In Clubs Q’s eyes, he was a god in the realm of information technology.
No matter how powerful the Light Arrow Knight was, his strength was only in combat. He could never compete with Clubs Q in the domain of knowledge.
Only if a supercomputer developed its own thinking might he face a situation beyond his control, but such a thing was utterly impossible.
Clubs Q looked at Spades Q and said calmly and confidently:
"If Diamond Q doesn’t make a move in the short term, it seems like I’ll have to be the one to close out dad’s task."
...
...
Ti rewound to an hour earlier.
This magnificent savior’s magic was indeed enough to shock the high echelons of the world and those "playing cards" from the farm.
They couldn’t imagine the principles behind the magic but that wasn’t their fault because even Zero, or rather Bai Wu himself, was unclear about it.
An hour earlier, the warplane Bai Wu was on had reached the airspace above the gigantic Ark.
[According to my investigation, this is a black zone, and one of the rules is that if you don’t have a boat ticket, you’ll lose your mory after boarding, leaving you at the rcy of those inside.]
"I have a ticket," Bai Wu said.
[Then you’ll need to consider the second thing, whether your strength can stop this ship.]
Bai Wu answered truthfully:
"This might be a tough battle... I guess the captain of this ship is even tougher to handle than the warlords in High Tower."
The pilot was not Bai Wu, but at this mont, the pilot was also well aware of the heavy burden Bai Wu shouldered.
Although he didn’t understand who Bai Wu was talking to, he knew that Mr. Zhao was about to jump from the plane—that this multimillionaire was about to go in person to the cruise ship to negotiate with the monsters on behalf of mankind.
When the plane reached the area directly above the cruise ship, the pilot also possessed the resolve to sacrifice himself for the world:
"I’m about to land, Mr. Zhao. I’ll join you in the fight for humanity’s future!"
Bai Wu admired the sentint, but he had no need for any comrade who might slow him down:
"That’s fine. I’ll jump from here."
"What are you talking about? Jumping?"
Without responding, the pilot had originally planned to land directly on the deck of the gigantic Ark and protect Mr. Zhao himself.
But what he hadn’t expected was that this gently spoken Mr. Zhao—at an altitude of seven thousand four hundred feet—
By the ti he reacted, Mr. Zhao had already leaped fearlessly for three thousand feet.
"Damn it! It looks like he didn’t even bring a parachute? Just jumped like that?"
The pilot was bewildered, his mind unable to comprehend what had just happened.
And the descent of Bai Wu was swift, with ti being of the essence, he had to stop the giant cruise ship from moving forward as quickly as possible.
A white light pierced through the sea fog.
As an entity that existed as scenery, the giant cruise ship naturally could withstand the fall of Bai Wu from seven thousand four hundred feet above.
The cruise ship’s response was also very prompt, by the ti the warplanes circled overhead, several core mbers were already in place, battle-ready.
Because this ti, they sensed that their adversaries from above weren’t just any diocre inan commandos but a powerful entity.
But no matter how strong the opponent was, humanity had provoked them multiple tis and should brace themselves for the Ark’s wrath!
Disease Demon, Liu Bingshu, a level nine Mutant.
Calamity, Jiang Zhu, a level nine Mutant.
Desire, Li Xin, a level nine Mutant.
And the great Ocean Overlord, the Captain of the Ark, Wen Hao, a level nine Mutant.
Four of the most powerful Evil Fallen stood guard on the deck; if they worked together, relying on the rules of the cruise ship, even Jing Wu back in the day wouldn’t be confident in defeating them on the cruise ship.
Now, all four were stronger than before, becoming more formidable each day in order to survive until the new world arrived, until the day they could return ho.
So despite the powerful presence from above, they were extrely confident that once he boarded the ship, even if he were a king, he would end up like a castaway godson.
Wen Hao was astonished by the imnse pressure radiating from the figure in the sky, which felt almost tangible.
But he still planned to kill this powerful being from the human world, to demonstrate to these humans the cost of provocation.
Three core mbers of the Ark, along with the Captain, were ready for battle, awaiting the enemy’s descent onto the deck.
Then, a white light pierced through the sea mist, and from a height of seven thousand feet, like a spear hurled by a god onto the mortal plane... it struck the deck of the Ark.
The instant presence that descended felt oppressively powerful to Liu Bingshu, Jiang Zhu, and Li Xin.
But this did not dampen their fighting spirit in the slightest.
The forces of the Disease Demon, Calamity, and Desire were all accumulating power!
Just as Liu Bingshu held countless "viruses" in his hand, as Li Xin was opening her domain, ready to deploy psychic shock, and as Jiang Zhu summoned thunderclouds to unleash divine punishnt—
At the mont the Bai Wu arrived on the Ark and made eye contact with the ship’s owner, Wen Hao, he ordered a halt to the imminent battle:
"Hold your fire! Do not attack! Cease!"
Liu Bingshu, Jiang Zhu, and Li Xin abruptly withdrew their amassed power, looking at their Captain, puzzled.
As the Captain and holder of the Doomsday Fragnt within the cruise ship, the Guardian of this black area, Wen Hao was able to establish a certain connection with the ship whenever soone boarded.
[Boarding pass check passed, you may board, ticket code: 4950—4647-9]
Anyone with a boarding pass would have a unique code, and in this mariti city, the boarding pass code was the equivalent of an "identity card" for crew mbers.
Wen Hao was bewildered that the newcor possessed a boarding pass; it was utterly incomprehensible.
But even if this person had a boarding pass, if he had to be killed, then killed he would be—humans must pay for their provocation!
Yet what made Wen Hao decide to stop was the reason behind it... the code on this boarding pass was his own.
"How is it possible, how could his boarding pass code be the sa as mine? That’s impossible..."
Wen Hao couldn’t understand.
Could it be that the boarding pass in the intruder’s hand was the sa as his own?
Suddenly thinking of sothing, he made the sea fog that blanketed the deck dissipate instantly.
The figure and face of the intruder on the deck beca increasingly clear and familiar.
-------------------------------End of Chapter-----------------------------
(ps: Ahem, there is only one update today. After all, being a one-update creature is my true nature, haha, just kidding, actually, I’ve hit a writing block. The cruise ship plot is very important, and if it were only used as a simple backdrop for the protagonist to show off, it would be rather superficial. Although that would be easier to write, it would waste all the previous Chapters’ build-up, so I need to give it so thought.)
