The vast pressure of the abyss receded like a tide, and only the heavy, suppressed breathing of Evil Orca King and its two subordinates still had the aftertaste of fear on the bottom of the sea.
Kraken still stood in place, his gray cloak hanging quietly in the sea water, as if the terrifying momentum that had frightened Ferocious Beast for two hundred thousand years was just a Illusion. Only those ice-blue eyes, under the shadow of the hood, calmly reflected the three surrendered giant beasts in front of him.
It turns out that releasing pressure and shocking these simple-minded guys who only value strength feels... like this.
An almost indifferent thought passed through the depths of Kraken's mind. There was no pride, it was more like an experimenter had observed the expected reaction and confirmed the validity of a certain behavior pattern.
But it is undeniable that the feeling of using absolute power to instantly crush all the pride, fear, and resistance of the other party and make them completely surrender is indeed... efficient. It eliminates unnecessary verbal entanglements and directly sets the tone of the conversation.
Of course, it is not easy for his own true strength to so thoroughly and domineeringly subdue a 200,000-year-old Evil Orca King, which is famous for its ferociousness, at least not so easily. It requires some means and time.
The sudden burst of terrifying pressure just now was mixed with the essence of Titled Douluo Origin that had not been completely absorbed, briefly creating an effect far beyond his current normal state. In essence, it was a combination of precise power display and psychological shock, rather than pure realm crushing.
The effect is obviously amazing.
Evil Orca King lowered its ferocious head, and in its scarlet single eye, the ferocity and arrogance had long been crushed to pieces, leaving only the fear of the aftermath of a disaster, and a trace of deep confusion in the face of an incomprehensible existence.
Its simple and crude thinking finally started to turn with difficulty at this moment: Transformed Soul Beast? Traitor? Shame? Ridiculous! How ridiculous! How could the terrifying aura that made its soul wail just now and originated from the absolute suppression of the life level be possessed by that kind of despicable existence?
The two Hundred-Thousand-Year Evil Spirit Orca behind it were shaking like chaff. They didn't even have the courage to raise their heads to take a look. They lowered their huge bodies as low as possible and let out submissive whimpering.
Left Guard and Right Guard quietly looked at each other, with a flash of understanding in their eyes. They could naturally feel the unusual and slightly "empty" power in their benefactor's pressure, but they could also feel the real Origin aura at the core of the pressure that made them all feel awe.
Tieshan and Mo Yuan are still like the most loyal sculptures. They have no reaction to anything just now. They just lock more of their perceptions on the new three-headed Evil Spirit Orca to prevent them from making any changes.
"Now," Kraken's calm mental fluctuations sounded again, breaking the dead silence and Evil Orca King's chaotic thoughts, "Can we talk about it, Evil Spirit Orca?"
"Talk... talk!" Evil Spirit Orca finally found his voice, but the originally arrogant and rough mental fluctuations now became dry and weak, even with a trace of imperceptible flattery, "Sir... sir, you... what do you want to talk about? I, I know everything!"
It knows the current affairs very well. In other words, in the face of the absolute power gap, the deep sea Ferocious Beast's instinct of preying on the weak allows it to quickly adjust its position. If it cannot be beaten, surrender, which is one of the simplest survival rules in the deep sea. As for the previous roars of "traitor" and "shame", it has long been thrown out of the sky. In the face of real power, those are just ridiculous noises.
"Sea God Island." Kraken pointed out the theme without any nonsense. His ice-blue eyes looked through the shadows, as if they could penetrate the soul. "What grudges do you have between you, your tribe, and Sea God Island? Tell me everything you know about Sea God Island's current situation, Sacred Pillar Guardian's status, and its movements in the deep sea."
He needs intelligence, and needs to verify and supplement the information brought back by Zuo Right Guard from different angles. Top predators like Evil Spirit Orca, which are fierce and aggressive and have a wide range of activities, are often "well-informed" in the deep sea, especially about the existence of prey or enemies they regard as prey.
Evil Spirit Orca's eyes flashed red, hatred and fear intertwined. When Sea God Island was mentioned, its ferocious nature seemed to be showing signs of raising its head again, but under the gaze of Kraken's calm eyes, it immediately restrained itself. It organized its language, not daring to hide anything, and began to speak with its rough mental fluctuations:
"Your Majesty, please be aware! Those hypocritical guys from Sea God Island have a feud with me, Evil Spirit Orca Clan!" Its voice was filled with suppressed anger, "Our clan likes to hunt down powerful Sea Soul Beast and even lone Sea Soul Master in order to devour their flesh and blood Soul Power to strengthen ourselves. This is our clan's nature, and it is also the law of the deep sea!
But Sea God Island calls themselves the guardian of the sea and has interfered with our family's hunting many times. Especially recently, they have become more and more aggressive and regard the sea area where our family operates as a forbidden area. Any powerful individual of our family who approaches their so-called 'sacred territory' will be hunted down by Sacred Pillar Guardian or even Sea Patroller!"
Kraken listened quietly. This information was consistent with what Zuo Right Guard had previously discovered about Sea God Island and some deep-sea Ferocious Beast groups. The contradictions are basically consistent. When Sea God Island maintains its ruling order, it will inevitably have constant conflicts with Ferocious Beast groups like Evil Spirit Orca who disrupt order and threaten the security of their belief areas.
"Continue." Kraken signaled.
Evil Spirit Orca continued, "As for the current situation... As far as I know, Sea God Island seems to be a little... abnormal." It tried to recall, "The frequency of their Sea Patroller's appearance is high and low. Sometimes it is rare to see them in the sea areas that were often patrolled in the past, and sometimes they appear suddenly and seem quite anxious.
About... well, maybe more than a year ago? In the core area of Sea God Island, several unusual energy fluctuations seemed to have erupted. They could be vaguely felt from a long distance away, but what they were was unclear. Moreover, there was news that they seemed to be looking for something in secret, or chasing some existence. The movement was not small, but it was covered up very tightly."
"Where is Sacred Pillar Guardian?" Kraken asked the key point.
Evil Spirit Orca turned his one eye, showing a look that was a mixture of pleasure and doubt. "Sacred Pillar Guardian? Huh! Those guys used to be very arrogant! But recently... especially in the past few months, they seem to have really restrained themselves a lot.
At least, the two guys who used to lead teams to hunt down our clan have greatly reduced their appearances. There are rumors that they seem to be... injured? Or are they in some other condition? Not sure.
But their deterrence is indeed not as good as it used to be. That's why... they got close to the edge of some sea areas that they had originally avoided. As a result... they bumped into Zuo Right Guard, who was probably not in a good mood and was "persuaded" to bring him here." Evil Orca King didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was obvious.
Kraken digested this information silently. The information provided by Evil Spirit Orca and the rumors about Sacred Pillar Guardian's injury brought back by left Right Guard mutually corroborated each other. Sea God Island may indeed have an internal problem that requires the deployment of forces, resulting in a decline in peripheral control and deterrence.
"Very good." Kraken's mental fluctuations are still dull, and there is no emotion or anger. "The last question. If there is a chance to take revenge on Sea God Island, what price are you and your tribe willing to pay?"
Evil Orca King's scarlet eye suddenly lit up with a frightening red light, which was the light ignited by deep hatred. But soon, this light was suppressed by the fear of Kraken and the consideration of reality.
It panted heavily, its spirit fluctuating with reluctance and a hint of temptation. "Revenge... Of course I want it! I want to tear those hypocritical guys apart in my dreams! But... Sir, Sea God Island has a profound heritage, as many strong men as there are, and is blessed by Sea God's faith... Our clan alone, even with all the strength of the clan, can only hit the stone with an egg. Unless..."
It raised its huge head slightly, looked at Kraken cautiously, and quickly glanced at the silent Zuo Right Guard next to it, as well as the dark water mass deep in the cave that made it instinctively afraid.
"Unless there is someone like you taking the lead... or, there are more powerful people like Mr. Zuo Right Guard joining forces... perhaps, maybe we can make them pay a heavy price!" Evil Orca King's voice contained a hint of suppressed excitement and expectation, but more of it was uncertain.
"Hate requires strength to support and wisdom to guide." Kraken's mental fluctuations were filled with cold rationality. "Being blind will only lead you and your tribe to destruction, just like your previous generation Kings."
Evil Orca King's huge body froze, and the light in his one eye flashed, obviously he understood the warning in Kraken's words.
"Stay here." Kraken gave the order, leaving no room for doubt, "Restrain your subordinates."
He didn't finish speaking, but the coldness behind his plain tone made Evil Orca King and its two subordinates shiver again.
"Yes! Yes! I understand! I will obey your orders!" Evil Spirit Orca quickly lowered his head to express his submission. The situation is stronger than that of others. Facing an existence that cannot be resisted at all, temporary surrender is the only way to survive. What's more, this mysterious adult seems to be hostile to Sea God Island. This may be an unprecedented opportunity for it.
Kraken stopped looking at it, and turned his eyes to Left Guard and Right Guard. His mental waves passed over. "Watch them. Temporarily set aside an area for them to live in. They are not allowed to get close to the cave where Demon Empress is, and they are not allowed to leave the rift valley without authorization."
"Yes, my benefactor!" Zuo Right Guard responded in a deep voice.
