Sea God Island, peripheral warning sea area, deep sea.
Sea God Island's outer defense circle, which used to be relatively calm in the past, is now filled with a tense and tense atmosphere. After candidate Sacred Pillar was assassinated by Kraken in a strange way, High Priest was furious and made major adjustments to the defense of the holy land.
He no longer relied solely on Soul Master and formations, but instead used Sea God Island's trump card that had not been used for a long time - the tamed or allied deep-sea Ferocious Beast as the backbone of the peripheral defense.
At this moment, above a deep-sea trench about three hundred nautical miles away from Sea God Island, the water flow was rapid and the undercurrent was turbulent. A huge creature was quietly suspended in the darkness, like a dormant ancient mountain range.
Its body is more than a hundred meters long, and its whole body is covered with a thick armor-like skin of black and gold. Its head is ferocious, and its huge mouth opens and closes like a forest of sharp teeth. It exudes a level of terror and ferocity of two Hundred-Thousand-Year. Wei. It is the apex predator that has an ancient contract with Sea God Island and is known for its ferocity and violence - Evil Orca King, Huben.
Around it, there were several Evil Spirit Orcas that were smaller in size but had several Ten-Thousand-Year cultivation levels, as well as some other Sea Soul Beasts that were influenced by Sea God Island's divine power and were relatively docile, forming a tight biological cordon.
"Huben," a majestic and slightly tired voice sounded directly next to Evil Orca King's huge head through a special water flow sound array. It was none other than High Priest, "This peripheral alert is very important. Kraken That evil beast's methods are becoming more and more cunning and difficult to guard against. The humiliation of Sacred Pillar's selection must never be repeated! This time, you will be on the periphery and must be strictly guarded. You must not let Kraken get even half a step closer to my Sea God Island holy land!"
Evil Orca King Huben slowly opened its scarlet giant eyes that were like small lakes, with violence and absolute confidence flashing in them. It roared low, and the sound was transmitted through the water, with a sonorous texture like metal friction:
"High Priest, don't worry. In my territory, no soft-bodied insect has ever been able to come and go at will. If he dares to come, it will allow me to stretch his muscles and taste the flesh and blood of the octopus. Is it as nourishing as the legend says? I will take action, don't worry!"
Its voice is full of the arrogance of an apex predator and its absolute confidence in its own strength. In its view, Kraken is just a cunning octopus that is good at stealth and sneak attacks. In a head-on fight, it is no match for its ocean overlord.
High Priest's thoughts seemed to fluctuate slightly, with a hint of indescribable complex emotions, and finally only one word came out. "Goodness."
However, not long after this new line of defense was deployed, a tragedy quietly occurred in a remote Coral Douluo reef area deviated from the main channel, about a hundred miles away from the Evil Spirit Orca group warning circle.
This is the territory of several neutral Sea Soul Beast tribes that have little relationship with Sea God Island and are even slightly conflicted. The leader is "Iron-Armored Giant Crab King" who has eight Ten-Thousand-Year cultivation levels. He is not weak in strength and has amazing carapace defense.
Their existence can also serve as an early warning to some extent, but because they are not completely aligned with Sea God Island, they are regarded as "the periphery of the periphery" by High Priest and Huben and are not included in the core defense circle.
Late at night, the moon is dark and the stars are sparse.
A gray shadow like a ghost in the deep sea quietly blended into the shadow of the Coral Douluo reef area. It was none other than Kraken. He maintained his human form, his gray robe slightly fluttering in the sea water, and his ice-blue eyes calmly swept across the huge Iron-Armored Giant Crab nest in front of him, which was like a moving fortress.
"The stone in the way..." He whispered to himself, and on his fingertips, a deep, dark gray light silently condensed, it was Gray Dan-Devour.
The huge body of the Cancer King suddenly shook, and its small scarlet eyes suddenly opened, full of extreme panic and confusion. It wanted to struggle and roar, but found that its connection with the surrounding seawater, its connection with its majestic Soul Power, and even its sense of existence with its own soul, were rapidly dissipating and annihilating at an incomprehensible speed!
"Pfft..."
There was an extremely slight muffled sound, like an auditory hallucination. The Iron-Armored Giant Crab King, which was as huge as a hill and had a carapace strong enough to withstand Super Douluo attacks, together with the huge Coral Douluo reef base perched beneath it, disappeared completely and cleanly in less than one breath, like a pencil drawing erased by the most sophisticated eraser.
There is only a circular void with smooth edges and bottomless depth that cannot be filled by sea water, and the pure breath of "nothing" remaining in the air that freezes the soul.
Immediately afterwards, several more gray rays of light quietly entered the bodies of several nearby Ten-Thousand-Year Iron-Armored Giant Crabs who were panicking and trying to escape. Silently, these powerful Sea Soul Beasts also followed the leader's footsteps and turned into nothingness.
The core strength of the entire Iron-Armored Giant Crab clan was completely wiped out in just a few breaths. There were no traces of fighting at the scene, and it was strangely clean.
Kraken After doing all this, there was no wave in his ice blue eyes, as if he had just cleared away a few unsightly stones. He was about to turn around and blend into the deeper shadows of the abyss.
However, at this moment--
"Roar--!!!"
A roar full of rage, shock and terror came from afar like thunder, instantly tearing apart the deep sea water! Immediately afterwards, a violent, domineering, and destructive Soul Power wave swept over like a tsunami! It was Evil Orca King Huben! It sensed the Annihilation aura that made it feel palpitating, as well as the sudden demise of a Soul Beast group on the edge of its "defense line"!
"Kraken! You hidden stinky octopus! How courageous! How dare you kill the creatures in my sea under my nose!" The huge black shadow of Huben tore through the sea water like a teleport, carrying overwhelming anger and murderous intent, appeared in the sky above the newly cleaned sea area, and its scarlet giant eyes locked tightly on the gray shadow that was about to dissipate!
Although it was horrified by the other party's weird obliteration method, it was more angry at being openly provoked and having its territorial authority trampled on! The other party actually dared to come and took action so simply!
Kraken paused slightly, as if he was slightly "surprised" by Huben's sudden appearance and such quick reaction. He turned around slowly, and in the shadow under the hood, his ice-blue eyes calmly met Huben's huge scarlet eyes burning with anger, and his tone was calm, as if stating a fact:
"Oh? I've been discovered. As expected of the King of Killer Whales, his nose... well, his perception is quite good."
"Stop talking nonsense! Take your life!" Huben roared, not wanting to say anything at all. The huge tail swung violently, and the surrounding seawater was instantly compressed and detonated, forming countless high-pressure water blades and undercurrent vortices, overwhelmingly sweeping towards Kraken!
Faced with this terrifying attack that could severely damage or even kill ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, Kraken did not dodge. He just sighed softly, and the sigh was barely audible in the sea water, "It's really... violent."
Just when Huben's attack was about to hit, Kraken's figure suddenly became blurry and transparent like a bubble! The next moment, his true body appeared in another shadow hundreds of meters away, as fast as jumping in space!
"Want to run?! Leave it to me!" Huben missed the target and became even more furious. His huge body showed amazing speed and flexibility that was inconsistent with his size. He instantly changed direction and locked Kraken again. His dark gold breath spurted out, like a death beam, penetrating the deep sea!
Kraken's figure flashed like Gui Mei again, narrowly avoiding the breath that passed by his disappearing image and directly vaporized a large seabed rock formation behind him. He seemed to be strolling around, calmly shuttled through Huben's violent attacks, and even had the energy to "chat":
"Huben, aren't you tired of chasing me like this? If I ask you to stop chasing me, will you stop chasing me?"
"Dream! I will not be a whale until I tear you apart!" Huben roared again and again, and its attacks became more and more violent, but its heart became more and more frightened. The speed and dodge ability of this Kraken far exceeded its expectations! And the opponent seemed... not trying its best, more like... playing? Or, in other words, observing its attack pattern?
"Then there's nothing we can do." Kraken's voice was still calm. After avoiding a terrifying water blade cut again, he suddenly accelerated and headed in the opposite direction to Sea God Island. There was a Jedi that even many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast didn't dare to penetrate easily!
"Stop leaving!" Huben had no doubt that he was there, and it showed its murderous intent and chased after him without hesitation! It was confident that with its powerful body and control over the ocean, it could intercept and kill the opponent at the edge of God-Burial Sea Abyss!
After chasing and escaping, the two terrifying figures quickly disappeared into the darkness in the direction of the abyss, leaving only the messy sea water and the heart-stopping remains of Annihilation.
Sea God Island, Sea God Hall deep.
In front of High Priest, a suspended crystal ball reflects the image of Annihilation's remaining aura in the outer sea area, as well as the blurry image of Huben chasing Kraken and disappearing in the direction of God-Burial Sea Abyss.
He closed his eyes and sensed the unabashedly violent Soul Power fluctuations of Huben coming from the distance and the determination to pursue them. His face, which had always been tense, seemed to relax slightly.
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at the condensed night sky and waves outside the hall, and whispered to himself, with a hint of exhaustion in his voice, but also a rare and cold affirmation:
"It seems... it is right to let Evil Spirit Orca go this time. At least, it is strong enough and... direct enough. Unlike some... evil beasts who hide their heads and show their tails and only play tricks."
What he was referring to was, of course, the violence and "loyalty" of Kraken and Huben. At this moment when strong counterattacks and strength were needed, it seemed to make him feel more "peaceful" than those twists and turns.
