Insightful

"Whoosh..."

The sound of Tide echoed in his mind, and as a phantom Bookshelves appeared behind Luther, his eyes underwent a strange change.

His eyes gleamed with a rational and indifferent light, as if they could penetrate all barriers, see through the underlying logic of the world, and grasp the laws governing the operation of all things.

The "Reader" Pathway, Sequence 3, The Insightful!

Before Luther's eyes appeared a colossal white tower reaching to the sky. He stood atop the tower, gazing up at the vast Astral World. The complex and incomprehensible symbols and trajectories suddenly became incredibly clear, as if they were within reach.

His vision faintly overlapped with the Astral World, and he saw that the surging Storm was a manifestation of certain underlying laws, a product of overall harmony.

--This is the powerful authority from the "Insightful," capable of "seeing through" the rules of the world and mastering many profound mysteries. Everything in the world suddenly becomes incredibly clear, and even the Sea King on the other side has his strengths and weaknesses exposed to the fullest extent!

For the first time, Luther felt the power of Wisdom. He felt as if he were holding a lever, able to manipulate the laws of nature and achieve his goals without using brute force.

Destroying just one rock can cause a mountain to collapse; pruning just one branch can kill an entire tree!

"Call--"

In this strange, almost epiphany-like state, Luther raised his right hand and created a Cyclone as well.

His Cyclone was far less powerful than the "Sea King's "; to be honest, it was more like a small tornado, spinning rapidly in his hand. "Boom—"

Opposite him, the airflow thrown by Yann Kottman had transformed into a terrifying Hurricane, violently carving a white trail across the sea. Several seabirds, unable to escape, were swept up by the Storm and torn to shreds before they even had a chance to struggle.

"What is the captain doing? Has he gone mad?!"

On the Golden Dream,"Anderson was almost dumbfounded when he saw the small tornado in Luther's hand.

"No... that's..."

Beside him, Edwina, Pathway "Reader," sensed Luther's unusual behavior. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she murmured something.

On the sea.

A strange starlight flickered in Luther's eyes as he stared directly at the terrifying, all-encompassing Hurricane.

At this moment, he saw every gust of air in the Hurricane as extremely slow, and the trajectory of every drop of water within it was crystal clear. He had completely grasped the Hurricane's operating logic, understood its entire structure, and its weakest point.

Isn't it right there...?

A slight smile played on his lips as he grasped the small tornado in his hand and gently tossed it in a certain direction.

"Whoosh!" The small tornado then left my hand, spreading and growing larger in the air, but it was still insignificant compared to the Hurricane opposite.

The two collided quickly.

Then, a scene that astonished everyone at sea appeared.

The seemingly insignificant little tornado collided with the massive Hurricane, creating some disturbance. This disturbance affected the surrounding airflow, further amplifying the chaos, causing more air currents to change direction, collide, and cancel each other out.

"Boom! Boom!"

Like building blocks being toppled one after another, the chaos caused the collapse to expand rapidly. The destructive water droplets collided and annihilated each other, dissolving into pure, extreme energy, creating one powerful explosion after another in the Hurricane. The impact of the explosions, in turn, affected the Hurricane, disrupting the airflow and causing the Storm to shrink continuously.

And so, to the disbelief of everyone at sea, the terrifying Hurricane dissipated considerably, and by the time it reached Luther, it had become like a gentle breeze.

Luther's blood-red robes swayed slightly in the wind.

His gaze spanned several kilometers, looking towards the extremely gloomy-faced Arne Kottman in the distance. Two heads, shrouded in shadow, emerged from his shoulders, also looking towards Arne Kottman in the distance.

Killing Grove didn't take him much effort, and the small tornado he just fought was even easier. If the fight continued, even though this area was "Sea King's" home turf, his opponent might not necessarily gain the upper hand.

Luther gazed at the Sea King in the distance, refraining from further action, and instead simply stood his ground against him.

"Should we continue?" This was the implied meaning in his words.

Of course, Luther was full of reason at this moment, and he wasn't foolish enough to shout those words out loud. Otherwise, in front of so many people, the hot-tempered "Sea King" would definitely care about his reputation and would never admit defeat. Instead, he would want to fight Luther to the death.

"..."

Arne Kottman's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he was quite agitated.

At that moment, he was rapidly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

The Royal Family Demigod died at the hands of their enemies. Just how powerful was the connection between this and the Church of Storms? Ultimately, Grove was also engaged in some Concealment operation, and he'd inadvertently dragged the Church of Knowledge into this mess...

Moreover, the Blood Bishop was clearly a formidable opponent; he was unlikely to be able to completely kill him, and might even cause considerable trouble for the Church of Storms...

"Oh..."

Finally, under the anxious gazes of everyone at sea, "Sea King" Yarrow Kottman gave a cold laugh, "Blood Bishop, I'll remember you."

With that, he waved his hand, and several currents of water instantly formed, lifting up the warships below. He then turned and left with the Loen Navy.

"We... we're saved...?"

Even after Arne Kottman's figure had completely disappeared into the distance, Danitz still found it hard to believe, muttering to himself. But the others on the "Golden Dream" had already reacted, cheering and the deck erupted in cheers. "Praise be to you, King of Blood!"

"Captain, you're so clever! Thanks to you, we were all saved!!"

"Someone, pull Danitz away. He needs more [training] and [learning]..."

"Wait! Wait! I was just... Waaah!"

Danitz heard the malicious voices behind him and was about to retort when someone took advantage of the chaos to cover his mouth from behind and pull him out of the crowded throng. What these guys would do to him was anyone's guess.

Luther landed on the deck amidst cheers.

Upon seeing this fearsome king of the sea, the cheers of the crowd gradually subsided, and they all cast awe-inspiring glances at him.

With such impressive feats as slaying a Sequence 3 Royal Family Demigod and easily driving away "Sea King," how could they not earn their respect?

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency, King of Blood."

Edwina led everyone in expressing their gratitude once again.
