Chapter 870: Chapter 584: “Death Immunity”!_2 Chapter 870: Chapter 584: “Death Immunity”!_2 Faint images began to form in his mind…

Within the world, previously blockaded sea levels started to rise!

The ocean seemed to become a massive, unified life form slowly engulfing and wrapping everything…

The original coastlines kept disappearing, as the murky waters covered the scarred earth, and in the process, suppressed all anomalies within the world…

Gigantic tendrils formed from torrential rains, fierce winds, and lightning ceaselessly dragged those trying to escape major anomalies or non-human races into the ocean for entombment.

And during this process, as the heretical anomalies acting as “signal” towers were suppressed…

The silhouettes of many “foreign” terrifying entities became blurred.

“Sea water? What the hell?! Are you kidding me?” A person outside a high-altitude refuge, observing the situation, stared in shock at the approaching waters, his face filled with disbelief.

They were on the loess plateau, a high-altitude region—it shouldn’t be possible for them to be inundated!

At this moment, the ocean’s advance could not be said to be very fierce, it could even be described as quite gentle…

But still, many terrifying lifeforms as massive as mountains were dragged into the water by tendrils reaching from the sea!

“Quick, take cover in the shelters! Our shelters are waterproof!” someone shouted, pulling back all the external personnel.

It was then that someone couldn’t help but curse, vaguely understanding something—no wonder they had been suddenly instructed to start installing various underwater apparatuses after the shelters were built, expending great effort on waterproofing requirements… Some “Fate Propeller” or someone must have known about the current situation in advance!

Besides, in other regions of the world, people with no place to go due to the destruction of shelters, also received some kind of “enlightenment” when directly gazing at the ocean, and those who couldn’t find anywhere else to hide could temporarily seek cover in underground parking lots, empty rooms, and the like, to avoid the initial “Deep Sea”…

Though uncertain of its veracity, those helpless wanderers deprived of shelter could only trust their instincts and find the nearest suitable place to hide.

As the waters spread, some found that when windows and doors were shut, the water strangely would not seep into the room or building, and all sighed in relief.

And some other small worlds and independent spatial domains were either engulfed directly by the waters or had their entrances sealed off, once again preserved to a certain extent…

…

At this time, in “World Code-4.”

“Damn it!”

A person on an independently floating island cursed under his breath, shocked to discover through special deep-sea detection equipment that an adversarial underwater power was mobilizing the entire submerged island’s force to inch closer!

It didn’t take much thought to realize that the opposition undoubtedly aimed for all-out war!

On the opposing island, similar observers issued the same furious curse—at least in their view, it was the opposition moving towards them, not the other way around.

“Prepare for battle! We can’t let them approach…” someone wanted to fire the first shot.

“No, we absolutely can’t shoot…” another person at the same location discouraged: “Have you forgotten the ‘Harmonious and Friendly Civilization Mutual Aid Freedom Union Committee’…”

The mention of that name cooled everyone down, as if recalling anew the image of the elite strung up at the center of the island by the “Harmony Committee”…

After the Dark Sea underwent a round of bloody cleansing, anyone who dared to disrupt the “friendly atmosphere” met with a rather unfriendly fate.

To initiate conflict would surely make them the next to be sanctioned for “crimes against humanity”!

The ghastly visages of the formerly ruling elite of the underwater domain loomed before their eyes.

“Combat readiness! We won’t fire first, but we won’t just let them hit us either…” the tone of a garrisoned island personnel relaxed quite a bit.

Currently, as long as they didn’t provoke trouble, merely retaliating seemed not to be a major issue.

“Right, notify the higher-ups immediately, clarify the situation to avoid any misunderstandings…” they hurried to say, fearing that they might all be blown away together should any issues arise.

Then, just as they were preparing to report to their superiors and inquire how the “Harmony Committee” would deal with the situation, someone discovered that it wasn’t just one floating island invading—other islands too began to emerge over time!

Indeed, on some level, it wasn’t just them—the entire Deep Sea World seemed affected.

Almost all garrisoned forces noticed others approaching their “homes”…

In the past, without notice, this almost certainly meant the outbreak of full-scale war!

But now, no one dared to fire the first shot…

Moreover, the most troublesome issue was that they couldn’t get in touch with the personnel from the Committee at all.

It was in the midst of this widespread panic that the signals finally got through, and information from above spread quickly, easing the tense atmosphere throughout the Deep Sea area.

The good news was that all the events were a misunderstanding; no one was planning to start a war. The sudden approach of all sides was due to some other reasons.

The bad news was…

The whole Deep Sea was shrinking constantly, and the reason for the sudden closeness was that it seemed the water had been siphoned away.

“Where could all this water have gone?!” someone exclaimed in perplexity.

However, more pressing than this, some people couldn’t help but ask after a moment of silence, “So, can the water that’s been ‘borrowed’ be returned eventually…?”

If the islands truly weren’t approaching each other of their own volition, then…

What previously took about ten days to reach one of the floating islands now seemed like it might take only two or three days to get to the intended destination.

The Deep Sea World appeared to have shrunk by more than half.

It was truly unimaginable just how much water had been siphoned off to result in this situation.

…

Meanwhile, as time progressed, from the perspective of the planet, the sea gradually engulfed the majority of areas, and the chaos of the entire world finally began to subside to some extent…

The sky-darkening red light had vanished, and countless anomalies had been suppressed at the very bottom of the sea, motionless.

However, the spread of the Deep Sea had the greatest impact on those high-level beings…

As the turmoil came to a standstill, some of the world’s own defenses began to restore. Although these beings still could descend, it wasn’t as easy as it had been during the previous chaos, when they could come and go freely.

At the most “central” location of the ocean, Colin felt that the direct gaze of those “great beings” was finally blocked out, and his soul, which had been torn asunder by them back and forth, had finally found peace.

Along with the disappearance of a pile of negative effects and such, his body seemed to have mostly recovered to normal. The only trouble now was a single “fatigue,” an extreme weariness that made him want to sleep deeply…

It was at this moment that Colin saw the “egg” in his mind suddenly float in front of his eyes.

Some information was conveyed through it by will…

“It’s not over yet, hold on as much as possible, don’t fall asleep, I will dilute you, then gather you back together, it won’t hurt, but it will be a bit uncomfortable, and there will be some aftereffects, you can handle it as you see fit…”

“And, be sure to wake up quickly! to clean up the current mess—so many anomalies and escaped containment subjects, I can’t suppress them all, I’m just a child…”

“Even though I am a prenaturally born human life, my consciousness was born less than half a year ago, why do I have to do these things, and why are these events so similar to the experiences of the ‘Father of the Sea’…”

“I don’t want to, I don’t want to follow in the footsteps of the ‘Father of the Ocean’ and turn into a pile of rotten flesh just after being born!!!”

“Waaah!”

Colin originally wanted to inquire about the origins of this thing, but while it started off fine, the more it talked, the more childlike and chaotic the crying became.

However, a word in the other party’s speech made him vaguely understand what had hatched out.

“A prenatally known human life… the strength of a god, with an almost entirely normal child’s personality…” Colin felt it was very likely the result of another experiment the company had conducted in this domain.

But before he could ponder any further, he suddenly found himself rapidly diluting, like ink into Pure Water…
