Chapter 1081: Chapter 146 Sky Ladder Lifeladder Tree (7000)_2

Just as Sio said in his heart—in Terra, there are few Third-Level Great Magical Beasts near the coast.

Because the coast is the territory of the Land Titans and the ‘Humans’.

But in the deep sea far from land, it is the hellish battleground where countless Sea Beasts and Behemoths battle fiercely.

Viscount Grant’s Bloodline ‘Abyssal Whale’ is the overlord of the deep-sea abyss. It will also come to the surface to spray clouds, float into the atmosphere, fly above the sky, absorb the sun’s Origin Quality to complete ultimate evolution, becoming nearly dragon-like Dragon Whales. But most of the Abyssal Whales, as their name suggests, are just Whales rather than Dragons.

Ian also researched the ocean ecology of Terra, and the research results were ‘Is this place a breeding ground for Gu creatures?’—a huge number of marine life, which heavens know whether originally from Terra or mutated later, and extraterrestrial Magical Beasts (or the beastly versions of Aliens who lost their Wisdom) from at least seven or eight different planets, are killing each other in the seemingly calm sea. Each possesses unique skills and abilities, and these strange things all amalgamate, hybridize, absorb, and evolve in Terra’s ocean…

Who can say what the situation there truly is.

Ian guessed back then that the complex situation of Terra’s ocean is directly related to the Heavenfall Spaceship that crashed into the deep ocean years ago… Most parts of the Heavenfall Spaceship should be in the sea, which is also why he values the Crystal Dragon Incarnation so highly.

Having such a Magical Beast body that can act freely in the ocean will facilitate actions much more smoothly than Humans.

Yet even in such a nearly hysterical Terra ocean ecosystem, Third-Level Behemoths are at the upper echelons of the food chain.

Higher-level Fourth-Level Titan Sea Beasts are the overlords of the sea, or the leader of its kind, and do not move often, whereas Fifth-Level Sea Gods, like Far Sword Port’s protector ‘Crystalline Dragon Fulsti’, are unconcerned with territory. So, in practice, ruling the seas and frequently interacting with Humans are these Third-Level Sea Kings.

Each of them leads vast clans, can stir up massive gales and create storms and small-scale tsunamis with their own power… when encountered by regular naval fleets, they’re just unlucky, not to mention merchant ships; therefore, some routes near the ocean require strong Human beings to negotiate contracts with the Sea Beast Kings to ensure stable routes.

But now, unexpectedly, three Sea Kings have broken the contract and attacked from the deep sea… On the Siren, only Elden is visibly at the Third-Level, besides waiting for death, what else can be done?

Even the spies and assassins are anxious.

“What’s going on?!”

The internal communication channel of the Spirit Wisdom Institute is already a chaotic mess: “Who lured the Sea King? Wasn’t it said only to lure a group of Blue Collapse Giant Seals to divert Elden’s attention? How did it lure a Third-Level Beast King, and three of them?!”

“I don’t know!” The spy responsible for this is confused: “Even if the bait is really that effective, I only triggered one Magical Beast Nest…”

Meanwhile, the assassin hired by the Canaan Moore council is hiding in a corner of the cabin, angrily whispering to the communication device: “I asked you to lure the Magical Beast to create an opportunity for my action, not to lure the Beast King to kill everyone on the Siren—why did you hire me if you wanted to silence everyone?! There is also a large group of nobles and merchants from the Empire on this ship; do you intend to create a major diplomatic incident?!”

“You broke the rules, so even if the mission succeeds, we’ll be thrown out as scapegoats!”

“Useless!” The Azure Sky Royal Court’s spy also reprimands the other end of the communication: “Are you trying to let the Empire and Canaan Moore directly go to war with the Royal Court? Our target is to assassinate key targets, not kill everyone!”

…

Apparently, why three different Sea Beast Kings are attacking, the reason is already quite clear.

“Three Third-Level Magical Beasts, enough to start a war.”

Sio finished the dessert before her and stood, stretched lazily, then shook her head and walked toward the hall’s exit.

The red-haired girl sighed inwardly: “No wonder Ian asked me to help block them—this is indeed troublesome. However, it’s not a big problem, I’m also curious why they have come together.”

With this thought, a faint light ignited in Sio’s eyes as her soul entered the Domain of Void, seeking negotiation with the souls of those Sea Beast Kings.

…

“Indeed, someone wants to make a move against me.”

Siren, deep in the cabin, Storage Room No. 17.

At the center of the incident, Bio-Alchemy Master Glarvie Fieye quietly listened to Captain Elden’s announcement, then nodded calmly: “Is it the council from my hometown, or the Spirit Wisdom Institute? Perhaps there’s also the radical faction from the Azure Sky Royal Court… Hmph, maybe they came together? They surely don’t have the guts to disturb the Sea Beast Kings, at most they would lure a batch of Second-Level Magical Beasts to harass, distract Elden.”

“The reason these Sea Beast Kings come over is entirely because of you.”

Turning his attention back to the Silent Silver Alloy Secret Casket before him, the elderly Elf’s tone held a touch of excitement: “As expected, my inference was correct… you aren’t dead at all, only suppressed life activity by the secret methods of the Spirit Wisdom Institute.”

“Once exposed to the outside world, you’ll gradually recover, grow… and attract other creatures to become your Follower Clan, becoming a part of the ecosystem you establish.”
