The Berserk Sea
After arranging everything, Luther quietly left the "Doe" that night.
"Whoosh-"
His body was lifted up by a strong wind, flying through the air at an astonishing speed. In just one night, he crossed the entire Rorsted Archipelago, from Symeem Island in the east to Tiana Island.
Luther carried the stars on his back, looking down at the dark sea, occasionally seeing black islands swiftly passing below. He continued flying forward like this until the sea gradually turned blue.
It was almost dawn.
It was a wonderful experience. The Sun hadn't yet risen above the sea behind us, but the sky had already shed its inky blackness and turned gray. The Star had disappeared, and half of the pale red Moon was embedded in it.
"Um?"
Luther was flying at high speed, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
As the surrounding environment gradually became clearer, he discovered a strange landscape ahead.
- On a vast sea, there lies a giant white wall, stretching infinitely in both directions to the horizon. Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that it is not a solid wall, but a weather phenomenon caused by the convergence and high-speed movement of countless surging air currents.
Luther continued forward, the Sun rising behind him, casting golden rays upon the sea. He could see more clearly then; the white expanse was not a wall, but a unified whole, the entire world behind it filled with this airflow.
Upon closer inspection, it was an extremely turbulent Ocean. The waves were surging and churning, with countless whirlpools, several times more intense than the Ocean on his side. Thick clouds piled up above, and lightning occasionally struck.
The calm Ocean and the raging Ocean are clearly separated.
"This is... the Berserk Sea?"
After flying over the Rorsted Archipelago, Luther had arrived at the edge of the Sonia Sea. He quickly Consciousness that this was the Berserk Sea created after the fall of Death. This Ocean was shrouded in constant Storm, with swift currents, making it impossible for ships to pass through in the past. The Northern and Southern Continents were thus separated until Emperor Roselle led his Fleet to explore a safe route, which changed this situation.
However, this change was not good for the people of the Southern Continent. The northern kingdoms finally found an opportunity and began to invade on a large scale, and the Southern Continent became a colony of various countries.
"Huang Tao, you're really something..."
Thinking of this, Luther shook his head.
To actually do something like colonization, and he was even educated in the Celestial Empire of his previous life... He should have spent more time cultivating relationships with those noble ladies... It just goes to show that one's position determines one's perspective. Perhaps when this transmigrator predecessor became emperor, he would prioritize his own class.
As they drew closer, the white barrier gradually thinned out before their eyes.
Through the high spiritual power of the "Secrets Suppliant" Pathway, Luther was able to clearly perceive the special nature of this Ocean.
Its ferocity was not like the Storm on the Sonia Sea, or rather, it seemed that there was something else hidden in the depths of this Storm besides violence.
That was the aura of the Spirit World, the aura of death, and the aura of destruction!
"As expected, just as many occult books mention, the immense power of Death's fall not only altered the climate of the Ocean between the Northern and Southern Continents, filling it with natural disasters and treacherous currents, but also broke down the barrier between reality and illusion, polluting and damaging the corresponding Spirit World, causing the two sides to influence each other..."
Within this sea area, if Ritual involving the Spirit World is performed or corresponding abilities are used, there is a high probability of encountering an accident. Luther, as an expert, made an assessment and arrived at the front of the Berserk Sea.
Instead of rushing in, he pulled out a nautical atlas from his pocket.
From both a geographical and mystical perspective, the Berserk Sea is very dangerous. It is best to travel along safe routes and rest on the islands Pathway.
Although Luther can activate the power of "Cataclysmic Interrer" to control the natural disasters in this Ocean, the anomalies in this Ocean are not limited to Storm, but also include the divine power left behind by the God of Death and the mixture of the Spirit World. It is best to avoid danger and pass through as quickly as possible.
The Queen has arranged to meet him today on Midway Island inside the Berserk Sea.
After resting for a while to regain his Spirituality, Luther set off again, crossing the boundary between the two Ocean and entering the Berserk Sea.
"Whoosh--"
A fierce vortex of air swirled and howled, enveloping a vast, seemingly endless area. Clouds piled up, and within their depths flickered shadows and dim lights. Bolt after bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, not with a blinding white light, but with an eerie, deep darkness, as if it were the Apocalypse.
"Boom!"
Even though he was on a safe course, Luther still felt a strong impact. This impact was divided into two parts: physical damage from the natural disaster and influence from the Spirit World, as well as the Distortion pollution from the residual power of the God of Death!
He quickly put on a defensive stance, manipulating the surrounding air currents to form a shield while simultaneously summoning Phantom Tide within his mind to resist the Mental Shock.
After regaining his footing, Luther followed the navigational charts and flew forward along the safe route. During this time, he encountered several ships that were entering the route at great risk, but he quickly passed them and continued onward.
Beyond the safe shipping lanes, within the black Storm, lie many strange things.
A creature larger than a warship floated on the water, dragging a giant scythe. Upon closer inspection, Luther realized that its body was composed of countless skull heads, each one rotating.
On a large expanse of relatively calm sea, countless bloody arms and bluish-black illusory Tentacle stretched out, wriggling upwards as if trying to grab onto something;
The sound of a baby crying could be heard from within the thick shadows, but its exact shape was difficult to discern.
Spirit World Creature?
Did they appear directly in the Real World?
No, not only that, they have also been tainted by the lingering aura of Death, undergoing an even more Distortion transformation.
Luther thought to himself.
Those illusory creatures were scattered throughout the Berserk Sea, but for some reason, they never entered the safe passage. They cast their gazes at Luther, their eyes seemingly filled with obvious resistance.
Yes, I was rejected by Spirit World Creature.
Luther recalled that his aura made it difficult for him to receive messengers and was also subtly resisted by the Spirit World.
"Storm is above..."
"Goddess, please save us..."
Just then, he suddenly heard faint cries, the desperate wails of many people.
Luther looked in the direction of the sound and soon spotted a Steam in the turbulent waters. It had somehow veered off course and was now trapped in a mass of Flesh.
