Chapter 577 - 577 447 The Dark Deep Sea Treaty _2

Chapter 577: Chapter 447 “The Dark Deep Sea Treaty” _2 Chapter 577: Chapter 447 “The Dark Deep Sea Treaty” _2 Then, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his pupils changed:

“Fuck, are these things even human anymore?”

Inside the others, Colin found that his previous perception was not wrong; indeed, there was a lot of other stuff in these people’s bodies.

There were weird things, similar to parasites or fungi, nesting inside them…

And what the fuck, there was more than one kind of parasite.

Each person’s guts, lungs, bone cavities, blood vessels, even their brains housed something—be it worm-like, fungal, or some kind of peculiar bacteria—living in symbiosis…

Moreover, some of the organs that a normal human body should have were downright missing in these people.

For example, the stomach had been replaced by some strange parasitic creature.

Even some individuals had no bones at all.

‘Sss, what is this, cultivating Gu in their bodies?’

Colin scratched the back of his head; without a close look, it was okay, but once you got a close look, there was an unnervingly eerie feeling.

No wonder the mermaids called them Pseudo-Humans, this truly…

Aside from looking human, they were barely like people at all.

At this point, a Federation official who appeared to be a diplomat stepped forward, a somewhat pale smile on his face:

“Welcome, ‘Bonfire’ Agent sir, I am the Vice-Captain of the ‘King of the Deep Sea’ battleship, and the special envoy in full charge of this exchange, Chuck Howard. It’s an honor to meet you…”

With that, he turned to the employees beside Colin, extending the same courtesy.

“Yeah, it’s also a pleasure to meet you.”

Despite having a lot on his mind, Colin did not let it show on his face; at least from the other party’s words, these “people” were still capable of conversation and hadn’t become as distorted as their bodies.

Getting a response, Chuck glanced at the Queen of the Sea Sirens and bowed slightly, smiling, “Her Majesty the Queen, Queen Dollys couldn’t be here for some reasons, but she asked me to send her regards to you.”

“Okay.” The Queen of the Sea Sirens nodded. “Then please convey my regards to her as well.”

Queen Dollys was another queen of the Sea Sirens…

“Of course, I’ll remember to do that.”

Once the conversation ended, Colin spoke up, “Do you know the purpose of my visit?”

He wasn’t very used to such elaborate ceremonial meetings because he never knew what to say.

“Of course.”

Vice-Captain Howard nodded, his gaze on Colin filled with a trace of fear:

“The documents are now placed in the royal castle hall of the ‘King of the Deep Sea’, and I will lead you there to complete the contract signing…”

During the conversation, he couldn’t help but recall those barely a dozen individuals, clad in strange, heavy steel plates…

Those folks had been chasing a very dangerous creature, passing by their side, claiming something about protecting the Deep Sea people from the ‘Level 0 Containment Object ‘Hunger” persecution.

They forcefully demanded that the captain at the time, Omir, sign some document of unknown efficacy…

Such an impertinent demand, how could Omir agree? He outright ejected them.

And then…

They encountered an attack by a bizarre idol with “eighteen arms,” and most tactics had no effect on it. Omir was about to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of people to awaken the machine spirit of the ‘King of the Deep Sea’…

However, before they could act on this order, the individuals who were turned away appeared again, and on the grounds of viciously persecuting ordinary humans, enacted some special provision, sentencing the captain for anti-humanity crimes…

And then there was no ‘then’.

The captain died suddenly—one of the mightiest humans of this world inexplicably dropped dead.

Vice-Captain Howard was thus pushed to the fore.

Although he did not understand the meaning of the contract, seeing those outsiders with an attitude of changing minds or replacing people, he still signed the document, afterward being instructed to wait for a special envoy to arrive and sign to officially activate the contract.

After all this, those people left.

Howard was unclear whether he should be happy about his promotion or depressed for becoming someone else’s puppet…

But, to his shock, after some time, the Patriarch of the Heretic Races ‘Crimson Abyss’ came, stating he was signing on behalf of ‘Crimson Abyss’…

This meant… these people probably “persuaded” them with the same logic…

They even “persuaded” the ‘Crimson Abyss’!

After that, ‘Sea God Church’, ‘Separatism’, and other officials from the Holy Deep Sea Human Federation also sent delegates…

The more Howard greeted, the more horrified he became; with the pretext of “protecting the children of the Dark Sea,” those people had scoured the entire Dark Sea.

Good or bad, none escaped their grasp…

Even the mighty “Gods” might be compelled to submit.

With this in mind, his gaze toward the Agent grew ever more respectful.

“Let’s go, then.”

Colin wasn’t clear on the deputy captain’s line of thinking, but he could feel a certain fear the captain had towards him.

He could probably guess it had something to do with that special squad.

‘Well, I had wanted to impose ‘Bonfire’s’ authority a bit, but now it seems unnecessary,’ a thought flashed through his mind.

Right after he spoke up, the deputy captain, not daring to dawdle, hastily led everyone towards the main hall inside the battleship.

And as they started to approach the legendary warship that was said to station millions of people, Colin and his group could roughly make out the shape of the thing through the murky seawater…

“Wow… fuck.”

“It’s huge…”

“My goodness…”

Several employees exclaimed in awe at the sight of that object.

Through the specially reinforced thick glass of the submarine, everyone could clearly see a gigantic ship floating in the deep sea, with no end in sight…

Numerous indicator lights were flickering on it, and it was surrounded by a large number of escort vessels.

But in comparison, they were like small fish beside a blue whale.

Moreover, on that gigantic ship, one could see densely packed large gun barrels, each of which was of a caliber…

That made people involuntarily feel calm and peaceful…

The overall effect was visually striking.

Even Colin couldn’t help but take a slight breath.

Although, compared to a starship, in both theory and technology, this huge ship was no match for a starship, but…

‘Giant ships and big guns are the real romance.’

Colin mused that the things on starships were too advanced; he didn’t even know which were weapons and which were not.

The shock was far less than what was in front of him now—

It was just unknown whether those gun barrels would burst if fired in the deep water…

It was somewhat contrary to scientific knowledge.

“I guess it must be some employees who did this specially, technical redundancy, no matter what it looks like, it’s already irrelevant, just chasing the look is enough…”

Colin shook his head inwardly, and after the rendezvous ship got closer, he saw many temple-like buildings fixed on the battleship.

They looked somewhat like barnacles on a large whale…

And at the very top of the “King of the Deep Sea Battleship,” they saw a castle encased in bubbles, inlaid with a multitude of colored gems that twinkled under the light, which could be described as luxurious.

When Colin arrived, he immediately saw a large group of humans of various forms who had been waiting for a long time.

Among them were even the powerhouses from the “Crimson Abyss.”

But this time, it seemed they bore no hostility but rather had unnerving smiles on their faces, holding a document in their hands, awaiting his arrival…

With an explanation from Deputy Captain Howard, he also understood the purpose of these people being here.

‘It’s a pity, that squad seems not to be here.’

Colin scanned the scene.

Then, surrounded by a crowd, he walked into the great hall, and after sitting down, received the original “Dark Deep Sea Treaty” contract handed to him by the deputy captain.

After skimming through it quickly, Colin roughly understood the contents…

“…When ‘0-0’ ‘Hunger’ appears… all forces have an obligation to cooperate with ‘Bonfire Company (Bonfire Camp Special Item Containment Company)’s extermination operation, and allow the invocation of ‘Dark Sea World (World Code -4)’ world jurisdiction…”

At first glance, it seemed like it was just about gaining some sort of right of passage…

It didn’t seem all that special, did it?

Colin felt there must be more to it, took out the Golden Mark Shana had given him to boost his brainpower, and spent some time quickly glancing over the contract, which was about as thick as a fist.

In the midst of it, he noticed a detail that didn’t stand out much.

“In special circumstances, the company can mobilize over seventy percent of the world’s water resources…”

“What do they need water resources for?”

Colin suddenly thought of Lady Bunny’s request.

Ah, this…

They couldn’t be planning to flood Earth, could they?

At that moment, he had the absurd feeling that, to avoid doomsday, they were ready to destroy the world first.
