"Good! Good! Good! With this fragnt, the power of the Sea-Calming Divine Staff will beco even greater!" The Sea Dragon Emperor nodded repeatedly, saying ’good’ three tis in succession. He quickly took the Divine Artifact Fragnt and fused it into the Sea-Calming Divine Staff.
In an instant, the fragnt radiated boundless brilliance. Its dazzling light illuminated the heavens and earth, as if a star was born here. It was so dazzling that no one could look directly at it.
Huang Yi, with his extraordinary visual acuity, was able to stare directly at the fragnt. At this mont, it had already lted, resembling wax dripping from a candle, and fused seamlessly with the Sea-Calming Divine Staff, becoming one.
The Sea-Calming Divine Staff was originally a relatively large fragnt of the Pillar of the Sea God. Its fusion with the fragnt encountered no conflict, proceeding smoothly.
On the battleship, both Ganges and Andrew saw this and their expressions changed drastically! Ganges intensified the output of the green light, bolstering the fleet’s defensive capabilities.
Finally, the light on the Sea-Calming Divine Staff dispersed, returning it to its original form. Now, the staff appeared noticeably more refined, exuding a thicker and more potent aura.
"It has indeed grown much stronger!" The Sea Dragon Emperor nodded with satisfaction, a smile playing upon his dragon-like mouth as he once again wielded the Sea-Calming Divine Staff.
With this swing, the montum undeniably surpassed the prior display. The trajectory of the staff unexpectedly shot out concentrated traces of water elents, which solidified into drops of liquid tumbling downward.
Almost instantaneously, those seawaters were manipulated, effortlessly forming nurous water dragons. Each scale was incredibly lifelike, and the dragons’ eyes seed to emanate beams of light. Their shapes were more vivid than ever before. The number of these water dragons far exceeded the limits previously set by the Sea Dragon Emperor—there were hundreds, nearly filling the entire sky above the sea!
"Go!" The Sea Dragon Emperor pointed the Sea-Calming Divine Staff toward the formation of the Ganges Fleet.
Imdiately, the water dragons stord toward the warships of the Ganges Fleet, roaring through the air with piercing, whistling sounds!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" In the blink of an eye, these water dragons collided with the ships, shaking them violently.
The green light on the ships visibly dimd at an alarming rate, rapidly draining its energy reserves.
Ganges and Andrew’s faces darkened further. They couldn’t hold out any longer!
Ganges had barely been able to fend off the Sea Dragon Emperor before, but now that the emperor wielded an additional Divine Artifact Fragnt, the balance was shattered. The annihilation of the fleet had beco an inevitable outco.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With every gesture from the Sea Dragon Emperor, waves of water-elent attacks surged forth. Water dragons, waterspouts, and tidal waves relentlessly assaulted each ship. The strikes were t head-on, causing the ships to slow significantly.
Ganges desperately wielded his World Tree branch, but to no avail. His Holy Domain Rank could never hope to compete against the Sea Dragon Emperor’s power. The green light slowly dimd, threatening to extinguish completely.
The wind howled, and massive waves crashed about as the tide of beasts descended rapidly. Amid the turmoil, Ganges stood like a pillar, bearing the hopes of every mber of the Ganges Fleet.
The ever-dimming green light illuminated his face, outlining a desolate silhouette. His resolute form, fighting tirelessly to protect the fleet, stood firm against the raging storm but grew increasingly blurry, as though it could be swallowed at any mont by the endless deep sea.
In that instant, he resembled a hero nearing his twilight.
The world has many kinds of tragedies, but the loneliest one of all is when heroes et heroes.
Ganges and Huang Yi were both legendary figures who dominated the seas, but when they confronted one another, one had to erge victorious.
Regrettably, Ganges was the one destined to lose!
Now, he faced a critical decision. Either fight to the death and sink into the ocean alongside the fleet or abandon the warships and use the Legion Teleportation Scroll to evacuate his crew.
"We can’t escape! Let’s fight to the death!" Beside him, Andrew had already assessed the situation. Pulling out his sword, he roared heroically! His cry was full of tragic grandeur, a far cry from his previous confident deanor.
Ganges’ face alternated between shades of determination and despair. Finally, he gazed at the now nearly invisible green light. Drawing a deep breath, as if summoning all his resolve, he said, "We retreat! The fleet can be rebuilt, but if we die and reincarnate, we’ll lose our chance for vengeance!"
With that, he imdiately retrieved a Legion Teleportation Scroll from his storage ring and opened it, his expression one of bitter determination.
At that mont, amidst the storm’s fury, Ganges gazed at the massive fleet he had once so proudly commanded. His eyes grew hollow, as though he were gazing at soone else’s fleet instead of his own.
The power of teleportation took effect instantly, enveloping every warship and covering every corner of his fleet’s crew, forcibly transporting them back to their headquarters on Hero’s Continent.
In a flash, the sea was left with only dozens of empty warships, devoid of enemies.
The Sea Dragon Emperor observed this scene and swung the Sea-Calming Divine Staff around.
Imdiately, the towering waves quieted, the falling torrents of seawater subsided, and even the relentless tide of beasts stilled and dispersed, seemingly following so unseen command. The dark clouds overhead vanished, and gentle moonlight poured down once again, illuminating the calm, glittering sea.
In re monts, the hellish ocean had transford into a tranquil expanse, as though nothing had happened.
Yet the wrecked fleet floating on the surface of the water bore stark testimony to the ferocity of the battle.
The once invincible fleet of Ganges had been left behind by Huang Yi, becoming the property of the Hero Guild!
All the wealth the Ganges Guild had scoured over months on Hero’s Continent had now been thoroughly plundered in a single night.
For every fleet, warships are their core assets. Even the prosperous Hero Guild possessed only about one hundred warships. Building more requires ti, resources, and materials, making them priceless commodities.
With the loss of this fleet, the Ganges Legion’s power on Hero’s Continent would be drastically weakened, posing less of a threat in the future!
Such a blow would be unbearable for any super-first-class guild, and for publicly traded guilds, it would further result in a catastrophic drop in stock price. Huang Yi could already envision the Ganges Guild’s stock prices plumting when the market opened tomorrow.
Glancing at the warships floating idly on the sea, Huang Yi smiled faintly. Winning this battle owed greatly to Ganges’s limited intelligence. If the Ganges Fleet had known that Dragon Sea was his territory, they would have gone elsewhere to raid another sea, leaving him powerless to stop them.
Huang Yi descended onto the flagship Ganges had just vacated, inspecting his spoils. The more he looked at them, the more delighted he beca.
The battleships were completely black and spanned hundreds of ters in length. Their tall masts, carved from rare Sky-reaching Wood, were majestic and worth a fortune—approximately three billion gold coins for construction alone.
The sailcloth on the mast shimred faintly under the night sky, surrounded by hints of blue light. As winds swept by, the cloth seed infused with the Wind Elent. These Gale Cloth sails, produced by the elite Wind Elf Clan, were incredibly scarce. Any vessel equipped with them could increase its speed by at least thirty percent.
The Ganges Fleet utilized these "Divine Wind Battleships," the latest in ship technology. They were fast, far exceeding the Hero Guild’s Cloud Sail Battleships but had comparatively weaker defenses—a drawback that was negligible when facing ordinary fleets.
With the addition of these warships, the Hero Legion’s fleet size increased by nearly fifty percent, making them significantly stronger. Globally, only the Sun Guild, which heavily prioritized naval power, surpassed them.
The only downside was that the control platforms on these ships were programd to only grant operational permissions to mbers of the Ganges Guild. The Hero Fleet would need to replace these control devices before the ships could be fully utilized.
"Sea Dragon Emperor, thank you for helping win tonight’s battle." Huang Yi expressed his gratitude to the Sea Dragon Emperor, still hovering above.
"You helped Dragon Sea in the past. There’s no need for formalities between us." The Sea Dragon Emperor waved it off casually. Stroking the significantly enhanced Sea God’s Staff in his hand, he smiled lightly and said, "God of Slaughter, the Sea God’s Pillar fragnt you gave has now completely fused with this staff—it’s impossible to remove. However, if you ever need to borrow the Sea-Calming Divine Staff, you’re welco to visit Dragon Palace. Dragon Sea is peaceful most of the ti; I rarely use it."
"Good!" Huang Yi nodded. Having previously borrowed the Sea-Calming Divine Staff, he understood its imnse power well. Now, with access anyti, he effectively gained an additional strategic weapon.
Thus, after defeating the Pope and Miyamoto Musashi, Huang Yi once again dismantled Ganges’s offensive!
In just half a night, relying solely on his personal strength, Huang Yi had thwarted attacks from three super-first-class masters without deploying his Hero Legion.
However, Hero’s Continent’s crisis was far from over tonight. On another front, Indonesia’s leader, Fuchan Fenrao, was leading an assault on the Sun Guild’s Flying Dragon Island sub-territory, already penetrating deep into its interior.
anwhile, Kid was commanding his Freedom Legion, launching an attack on China’s 11th-ranked guild, Dragon Phoenix Gate’s Sunset Canyon sub-territory!
Only by neutralizing the remaining threats posed by these two legions could tonight’s battles culminate in true victory!
Huang Yi imdiately ssaged the captain of the Hero Fleet, Tian Lock Blood Moon, instructing him to dispatch personnel to collect the abandoned warships.
Soon after, Huang Yi bid farewell to the Sea Dragon Emperor and rushed to his next battlefield—the Sun Guild’s Flying Dragon Island.
...
anwhile, Huang Yi’s distant main body was riding the enormous Deep Sea Demon Flesh as it sped through the ocean.
The direction of its charge was no longer toward the Central Continent but had shifted to another destination... (To be continued.
