The Annoying Whale Shark

Andes Copper Book.

It is a supreme wonder used by the Celestial Palace to contain the world.

Hediwala commissioned Roger to find Quentin.

It was because he carried this extremely powerful treasure! And after acquiring it...

Roger then realized that Hediwala's urgency had another reason—

That is, the accessibility of the Andes Copper Book is completely disproportionate to its power.

The principles and rules of this bronze book form a unique school of thought.

Users only need to input a certain amount of "Transcendent Energy" to awaken the power of the bronze book.

Unlike the Immortal Palace Divine Sword, it does not require secret incantations to activate.

It can be used by whoever it falls into.

Such an easy-to-use item.

But its power is ridiculously great.

This is completely inconsistent with Roger's understanding of rare and exotic items.

However, this point.

He had felt it as early as when he first acquired the bronze book.

Roger's Sixth Sense told him.

This item is completely out of place in this world and even in this universe.

At first, he thought it was because of the celestial palace.

However, this is not the case now.

Considering that this thing is actually a consumable item.

Its origin is worth pondering.

However, Roger was most Great Luck when he faced Quentin.

The Great Dimensional Slash destroys heaven and earth.

Quentin still held a significant advantage at the time, was given absolutely no time to react.

Otherwise, even if Roger had countless trump cards.

They might even be taken in alive by Quentin!

It is precisely based on the above point.

Roger was also very careful when using the bronze book.

but.

For the user.

The Andes Copper Book, however, appears unusually gentle.

Roger holds a bronze book in his hands.

A small amount of essence slowly seeped in.

The only response the bronze book gave him was a gentle warmth.

besides.

There were no other unusual signs.

In fact.

This continued until Roger exhausted all the energy needed for activation.

The bronze book itself did not cause much of a stir.

The last second.

Under Roger's gaze.

That page of the bronze book suddenly disappeared!

On the data panel.

"Notification: You have activated the ' Andes Copper Book '!"

"Containment target: No. 14 Abyss Guardian and a small amount of Badlands!..."

Containment operations are in their final countdown!

Please wait...

"Please focus on the containment target!"

Roger did as instructed.

He stared at the monster in the sky that seemed to move slowly, but every step it took caused enormous destruction to Quinan!

It wasn't just him.

Most people on this planet have witnessed the arrival of the Abyss Behemoth, either directly or indirectly (through phenomena).

It appears to be unmatched.

The Abyss Creature that descended with it added to the terror.

For a short while.

The inhabitants of Quinan Star, who have suffered greatly in recent years, feel that the end of the world has truly arrived.

They simply couldn't imagine it.

If such a behemoth continues to wreak havoc on the Quinan Star.

Where can they possibly escape to? The West Continent? The jungle?

underground?

ocean?

People's attitudes are unusually pessimistic.

Faced with such blatant aggression from the abyss.

Any attempt to hide seems to be a futile struggle.

No one could escape the beast's gaping maw.

No one doubted that this behemoth possessed the ability to gradually devour the entire planet! At that time...

The Quenan will cease to exist completely.

Instead.

It will be a desolate planet Abyss Badlands!

So at this moment.

Many ignorant civilians fled while gazing at the strange planetary phenomena in the sky.

Those extraordinary individuals who had some knowledge of the Abyss Behemoth completely gave up resisting.

They stared blankly at the horizon.

I can't think of any way to defeat it.

Fear spread rapidly across the entire planet.

These emotions transform into an invisible cloud of energy.

They surged into the body of the Abyss Behemoth.

Its skin instantly turned purplish-red!

It looked extremely excited.

He also uttered some difficult words of the Common Language:...

"Submit!"

"Destroy!"

"Dedication!"

"Eternal life!"

The behemoth's voice echoed throughout the entire planet like divine pronouncements.

Roger sensed it.

The planetary anomaly has escalated into Star Track Phenomenon!

In other words...

Not just Quinan.

Even the people of Mystra could see the terrifying spectacle of this colossal beast destroying the world!

And that was accompanied by that strange way of pronouncing it.

Roger also felt immense pressure crashing down on him like waves! Those with slightly weaker willpower...

They've probably already knelt down by now!

On the data panel.

"Warning: The Abyss Guardian has used 'Authority: Bewitchment'..."

"The Abyss Guardian has invoked 'Authority: Power'..."

"The Abyss Guardian have begun spreading ' Negative Energy: sadness, pain, despair'..."

"100% Resilience: You have successfully become immune to all negative effects... but due to the ring number suppression, your mood may become slightly depressed..."

The writing flashed and disappeared.

Roger indeed felt a sudden, inexplicable pressure rising in his heart.

He secretly thought how impressive it was.

Even a strong and tough guy like myself was made a little sad.

Wouldn't the others burst into tears?

Unfortunately.

Roger's wildly exaggerated speculation has actually come true!

Three to five seconds later.

He heard a soft sobbing sound.

It seemed like a dozen people were crying in Roger's ear.

Roger turned around in horror—

There was no one there.

All that remained was a bare expanse of birch trees!

And it made a crying sound.

It was indeed this birch forest! A little while later...

A group of plains rats ran past right under his nose.

They were sobbing as they ran.

So the weeping in Roger's ears grew to the size of hundreds of people.

Immediately afterwards.

They are birds flying in the distance.

They are the most recent human tribes.

It was a shooting star streaking across the sky.

It was the gradually increasing noise of the mountain wind...

Everything and everything.

They couldn't help but cry out in anguish under the terrifying power of the Abyss Behemoth.

This moment.

The entire Quinan Star is weeping! Living beings and the dead.

Everything exuded a sense of sadness.

These Negative Energy emotions seem to have transformed into food for Abyss Behemoth.

It's getting stronger and stronger!

Roger's expression gradually became tense.

If the Andes Copper Book is invalid.

What should I do now? What are my remaining cards to play?

The stability might be somewhat worse!

"Does containment preparation take this long?"

A bead of sweat appeared on Roger's forehead.

Just then.

The behemoth, which was engrossed in spreading the Negative Energy of the abyss, suddenly turned its head away.

Its six eyes on the left side of its face locked onto Roger! In that instant.

Roger heard Little Yura's voice in his ear. "Hehehe..."

My blood!

The previous sentence was accompanied by a soft laugh.

The next sentence suddenly turned into an uncontrollable roar! Roger felt a sharp pain in his ear! His head was spinning.

Two streams of heat flowed from my earlobes!

"Warning: You have been attacked by an unknown sonic wave; your eardrum has ruptured!"

"Warning: Abyss Behemoth are heading your way!"

Boom! The behemoth took a step forward.

The Ancient Desolate Continent shook violently.

Dust swirls into a sandstorm.

It rose up everywhere!

Roger gritted his teeth in pain.

He can't hear anything anymore!

even.

The sonic attack had even interfered with his eyes.

At this moment, his vision was filled with crimson.

line of sight.

It's a bit blurry...

"When necessary."

"We can use 'Scavenger'..."

Just then.

A soft voice resounded in his heart.

"I've regained some of my strength; I can try to resist the desire to destroy the world..."

It's Cindy.

Roger could feel the stirring of those Wings of Freedom behind him.

So he waved his hand gently. "Don't rush."

"The containment hasn't failed yet. Even if I have to resort to backup plans, I have other methods."

"If it really comes to the point where we have to use the cleaners, I'll be the one to do it, not you."

Cindy was slightly taken aback. "You?"

"Why..."

Roger decisively interrupted her in his mind, "Didn't you say I was the biggest bug?"

"The cleaner dwarf was also designed with a bug-like shape, so maybe I can fight fire with fire?"

Upon hearing this...

Cindy didn't say anything more.

Roger's senses were plunged into a deathly silence once again.

Only the malice emanating from the Abyss Behemoth washed over his body like a tidal wave!

This feeling is actually quite unpleasant.

But he was not afraid.

I don't want to run away either.

on the contrary.

Roger was meeting the surging malice head-on with his toughest stance! He knew it.

Facing this behemoth.

Everyone can be afraid and back down.

I can't do it alone!

"He's at least one of the top experts Above Twin Stars..."

"We can't be intimidated by a beast, can we?"

Gradually.

A ruthless glint flashed in Roger's eyes. "So what if it's level 189?"

"Don't push me too far..."

And just as this thought crossed my mind...

Finally, a new message appeared on the data panel!

"The Andes Copper Book: Containment Preparations Complete!"

"Please open your arms and close the ' Time Scroll ' before you!"

In a short while.

A translucent book emitting a white light suddenly appeared on Roger's chest.

Between those books.

There was also a jet-black card.

The card prominently features the image of the Abyss Guardian.

Roger felt a surge of excitement.

He couldn't help but hiss under his breath, "Get lost!"

The next second.

He spread his arms and pressed down on the pages on both sides of the book.

Then he suddenly exerted his strength.

And just like that, he easily closed the Time Scroll! With a soft "pop."

The black card disappeared into the pages of the book like a bookmark.

And the entire Time Scroll underwent drastic changes as a result.

Roger gripped the book in his hand tightly.

He subconsciously raised his head.

The next second.

Suddenly, two enormous, semi-transparent pages, angled upwards at a 45-degree angle, appeared on either side of the Abyss Behemoth! At the beginning...

The two pages were only about the same height as the giant beast.

But very quickly.

They spread rapidly into the sky.

Before long, it extended to the depths of the sky and the universe! That translucent book was so vast and boundless.

So much so that the Abyss Behemoth sandwiched in the middle looked like a miniature bookmark!

"Submit!"

"Destroy!"

"Dedication!"

"Eternal life!"

The moment before the Time Scroll suddenly appeared.

The terrifying and filthy declaration of the behemoth still echoed between the two stars.

It can be seen from the moment the pages of the book appear.

All the evil voices vanished without a trace.

They seemed to have vanished from this space and time.

It was so clean that not a single trace was left.

This moment.

Whether it's Quinan or Mystra.

Everyone looked up at the escalating phenomenon.

They passed through the giant beast.

I looked at the pages with a hint of surprise and anticipation.

They saw the giant beast frantically waving its massive feet and head.

But not a sound could be heard!

It appears to be.

It truly cannot affect the world outside the pages of the book!

The next second.

A voice that brought peace of mind to all beings came softly—

"Roll!"

Poof! The two pages snapped shut with lightning speed! Unlike the Time Scroll in Roger's hands.

After those enormous pages closed...

They vanished completely from people's sight! The abyssal beasts also disappeared without a trace.

Even the filthy soil it infected wasn't completely cleaned up! In that instant.

The terrifying shadow that had lingered over the Quinan Star was swept away.

The people stared at the sky in disbelief.

Watching the strange phenomenon gradually disappear.

Most people were speechless for a long time.

After a while.

In some places, cheers erupted as survivors breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in other places...

People still stare blankly at the sky.

They seemed unable to believe they had escaped death.

Or rather...

They didn't actually disbelieve that the giant beast had been dealt with.

Rather, these people, who have suffered so much, have lost their thirst for hope in the face of endless calamities.

They began to ponder a terrifying question—

Last time.

It was the demon slayer who averted the calamity.

This time.

That is also true.

So what about next time? And the time after that?

What if they encounter a calamity that even exorcists cannot resolve? In these people's memories...

The two stars seemed to be plagued by calamity.

Peace is a very old word.

Every human being who lives in such a cruel environment for a long time will gradually lose hope of a peaceful life.

Darkness and chaos shroud not only the geography of the binary stars.

It's more about people's hearts!...

And this point.

Roger actually sensed it too.

With each calamity escalating.

The pressure he faces is also increasing.

He realized that the Twin Stars were like a small, dilapidated boat sailing on a stormy sea.

The bottom of the boat is leaking! No matter how fierce he is.

It's impossible for one to swim and lift the ship up, is it?

"Unless..."

Silently watching the Time Scroll gradually disappear into his palm.

Roger couldn't help but look up at the Above the Sky.

"Unless we move this ship to a relatively peaceful lake..."

He gave a soft hum.

Suppress your slightly negative emotions.

Roger scanned the data panel again.

"Notification: You have successfully contained ' No. 14 Abyss Guardian and a small amount of Abyss Badlands ' using the ' Andes Copper Book '!"

"You have obtained a page of ' History Scroll '!"

"History Scroll: Can be inserted into the ' Time Scroll ' and enters the slot on page 13..."

"Your Celestial Palace reputation +300!"

"You have attracted the attention of most of Asgard..."

"Given that you have taken in a highly mutated monster, you have been awarded 1 Feather of Time."

"Feather of Time: You can use it to enter the ' Legacy of Time ' and obtain some compensation..."

"Note: Mystra's twelve History of the Present World have returned one by one. You can use the Feather of Time on other planets that have History of the Present World..."

"The Feather of Time?"

Roger was a little surprised.

I never expected to get this kind of item again.

Recalling my last experience with Legacy of Time...

Roger was still filled with mixed emotions—

"Etc!"

"Do other planets also have History of the Present World? Not just Qionan and Mystra?"

"Does that mean Telodal, Messenary, and Yggdrasil also have them?"

His attention suddenly focused.

It seems we've discovered some incredible information!

Just as Roger was about to follow this clue and delve deeper into divination...

Suddenly, a crack several kilometers long appeared in the ground of the Birch Plain! Then...

A stream of murky, foul-smelling astral water gushed out from within! And then appeared before Roger.

It was an extremely eye-catching fin!...

"Warning: A pod of whale sharks is attempting to enter Qynan..."

"The first whale shark is less than 20 kilometers away!"

"You're here..."

Roger was not surprised.

He used the Andes Copper Book.

It's all for the purpose of quickly and decisively resolving the mess.

In order to deal with the situation of whale shark invasion.

This moment.

He's more at peace than anyone else! They're just a bunch of annoying whale sharks.

Do they think they're more powerful than the Abyss Behemoth?

The cunning Windermere.

I don't dare to come over myself.

All they knew was to send cannon fodder to scout ahead...

That concludes the discussion.

Roger's slight fondness for Windermere, which stemmed from reading about the White Whale Fenny, and his guilt for accidentally injuring him, had vanished.

He knew.

Faced with these intelligent monsters.

I must show my strongest side! I need to do more than just drive them away.

We must terrify them! And then, in the next second...

Roger drew Griffith with a backhand stroke! "Lower the usage requirements a bit!"

"Raise the energy level by one point!"

"Give it your all..."

After three urgings.

Suddenly, clusters of shimmering white flames erupted above Griffith.

A terrifying Extinguishing Power rapidly gathered on this Immortal-grade divine artifact! Roger held his breath.

He waited quietly in place for a while.

Even if the earth keeps cracking.

Even if the sea of Sea of Ruins were to overflow.

Even though terrifying Aberrant Matter is condensing nearby.

He remained completely still!

This moment.

Roger seemed to have transformed into a lonely lighthouse keeper.

He stood alone amidst the raging waves.

In my ears, I could hear the whispers of sea spirits.

Some restless monsters tried to get closer.

However, he was left covered in wounds by Griffith's own Extinguishing Power!

Nevertheless.

The monsters that surged into the Birch Plain along with the sea of Sea of Ruins also watched Roger from a certain distance.

It's obvious.

Just as Windermere drives a pod of whale sharks.

These lower-level monsters are also driven by the higher-level whale sharks.

Roger could sense it.

The whale sharks were stunned by Griffith's Extinguishing Power.

They dared not act rashly.

So he only dared to linger outside the cave in Kuinan!

Roger knew it very well.

Now is the time to test patience.

Unfortunately...

Even when he was down on his luck and weak, he was still a person.

And he has never lacked patience!

And so.

He stood guard outside the largest spatial rift.

They coldly scrutinized the Whale Swarm!

"My strength is still very weak..."

"With this level of Extinguishing Power, I can only unleash a maximum of ten sword strikes..."

Griffith's voice rang in Roger's ears.

Roger said in a deep voice, "One hundred thousand pigs."

Griffith:

"It's not about whether it's pigs or not."

Roger:

Two hundred thousand.

Griffith:

You've really misunderstood me.

Roger:

One million.

Griffith: "..."

"There aren't that many pigs on the Above Twin Stars!"

Roger:

"I'll send you as many pigs as there are on the Above Twin Stars."

"I only want you to deliver thirty powerful sword strikes!"

Griffith:

"I've been working really hard... Alright, fifteen swords..."

"I really don't have any more strength left!"

Roger sighed softly to himself.

Griffith's comparison is still quite weak.

I wonder what Mystra saw in him back then.

but.

As his most powerful weapon.

If the Extinguishing Holy Sword is used at full power, it can be quite powerful.

At present.

Roger decisively agreed to the deal.

As for the issue of offering sacrifices to pigs afterward.

Roger believed that business is static, but people are dynamic.

There's always a workaround! What if he can't come up with that many pigs?

Installment payments are understandable, right?

Um.

I believe the understanding Griffith wouldn't want to deal with the Telepathic Fingers or the Intelligence Reduction Hand!

Roger thought this with such conviction.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash.

The sea level in the Sea of Ruins of Quenan is slowly rising.

Roger had long since sunk into the depths of the ocean.

Within perception.

His surroundings were covered with countless red dots.

And directly below.

Two red dots, one large and one small, are swimming cautiously by! "Now!"

Roger gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

He plummeted downwards like a shooting star! The Extinguishing Holy Sword shone like a dragon.

In just a moment.

Griffith pierced through the whale shark's thick, tough skin!

That moment.

The terrifying Extinguishing Power was poured into the whale shark's internal organs.

The latter's health points plummeted like an avalanche!

The whale shark began to shake violently!

Roger gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

They pushed it in even deeper!...

"Hiss--!"

The wailing lasted for about half a minute.

The whale shark's life was finally coming to an end.

Just as Roger had predicted.

This Super Giant Creature, aside from its large size, isn't particularly formidable.

Its level is only 129. Even among Ascension-grade monsters, it is considered an enemy with little prestige.

The difficulty in taking down a whale shark lies mainly in two aspects:...

Firstly.

The weapon must be sharp enough.

It needs to be able to break through the whale shark's overall Defense Value of 100 points!...

Secondly.

This is also the most crucial point.

The weapons used to deal with whale sharks must be long enough! Only then.

Only then can it penetrate through the skin and reach the relatively fragile internal organs!

Without a doubt.

Griffith perfectly fulfills both of these requirements.

As an immortal weapon that possesses its own status and domain power.

The Extinguishing Power is inherently highly penetrating.

Although Griffith's own length certainly wouldn't reach the whale shark's internal organs.

But the Extinguishing Power poured in was enough to destroy everything.

therefore.

After another long 8-minute near-death experience.

The unfortunate whale shark finally lost its last drop of life! An aura of destruction rapidly spread from its body.

In a short time.

All the whale sharks nearby emitted mournful cries!

In response to this.

Roger felt only disgust and hostility.

Because the smell of whale sharks is just too strong!

"A bunch of filthy, stupid fish..."

"You dare to try and stage an accident to extort money?"

"This level of distortion..."

"It's absolutely disgusting!"

They forced themselves to endure the unmistakable stench.

Roger retreated while drawing his sword.

He frowned as he glanced at the data panel.

I just kept looking at it.

Without realizing it.

His eyebrows slowly relaxed.

Then it transformed into a strange form that was neither joyful nor sorrowful.

Hint: You have killed a whale shark.

"Your Martial Arts Intensity (hidden attribute/percentage) has received a slight increase."

"Hmm?"

"Martial arts also have intensity?"

Roger blinked.
