Looking at the endless ocean, a classic meme involuntarily popped into Qin Ze's mind.
What's on the other side of the sea?
The Dharma King said, "It's the silhouette of the strange beast that died under the setting sun."
Brother Devour: "..."
Qin Ze shook his head and smiled.
Meng Die's escape this time was so clean and efficient, it was practically Abyss Paopao.
The flood came at just the right time, giving the Alliance absolutely no chance to expand its gains.
After some attempts, Qin Ze discovered that it was impossible to fly over the sea.
Like the Land of Origin, it has no-fly rules.
In other words, if one wants to reach the third line of defense, one must cross the sea.
But Qin Ze felt that the sea was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.
This sea might devour people.
After observing for a moment, Yue Sheng said, "The twenty-fifth Reverse Sequence of the Strange God, the authority of Dark Tide."
"Water and darkness."
Everything that comes into contact with this water will dissolve.
They really do eat people.
Qin Ze asked curiously, "Can martial artists also dissolve?"
Yue Sheng nodded. "We can still hold on inside, but martial artists who fall in will surely die."
Qin Ze summoned a clone, whose expression changed drastically upon guessing what he was about to do.
The Alliance will remember your contributions.
After saying that, Qin Ze threw his clone off the ice wall like a sandbag.
" Qin Ze, I..."
Before the clone could finish speaking, it plunged into the sea with a "plop".
Qin Ze immediately switched to the perspective of the unlucky guy, personally experiencing everything he went through.
The moment it plunges into the water, the cells within the clone begin to rapidly disintegrate.
In less than a second, he turned into a puddle of water and dissolved into the sea.
Thousand Faces said in the Local Area Network: "I've already taken my kids for a walk and gone home."
The Dharma King said, "You've been slacking off like this, Niuniu hasn't said anything?"
Thousand Faces smiled and said, " Niuniu really didn't say anything. It's all thanks to Meng Die; she ran faster than the water of the Sea of Glaze."
" Niuniu's anger is all focused on her right now; she has no time to pay attention to me."
"And I also have a reason now: if Meng Die holds on a little longer, I'll be there soon."
The Dharma King chuckled, "Hurry up and thank Sister Butterfly!"
Thousand Faces said earnestly, "Thank you, Sister Die."
"By the way, I also have some news about this sea."
"Now the entire first and second lines of defense have been abandoned, filled with the Dark Tide's water, and the alien beasts that didn't manage to retreat have all melted away."
"Including the First Army left behind on the first line of defense."
Qin Ze's expression was extremely solemn.
Those people stayed behind to guard Brother Devour and his group's retreat route.
The moment the seawater surged in, they had no time to retreat.
The Alliance paid a heavy price in this battle.
Thousand Faces sighed, "Please accept my condolences."
After a moment of silence, Qin Ze said to Yue Sheng, "Find a way to cross the sea."
Yue Sheng replied, "During the last battle of the gods, Dark Tide used the same tactic."
Qin Ze couldn't wait to ask, "So how did you crack it?"
Yue Sheng said, "The gods forcibly crossed the sea."
"I remember that the God of War personally led more than fifty Star God across the sea."
"Half of them died while crossing the sea."
"After the God of War and the remaining Star God reached the other side, they built a bridgehead there."
"Later, Jie You built a large-scale spatial teleportation array at the bridgehead, which allowed subsequent support to arrive."
Qin Ze asked, "Who is Jie You?"
Yue Sheng said, " The Star God of Sequence Twenty-One, his authority is related to space."
Related to space...
Qin Ze had a sudden inspiration. "Then I can just forcibly cross the sea and insert a teleportation portal to the other side, wouldn't that work the same?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Sheng shook her head. "The space containing the seawater is sealed off, and the closer you get to the depths of the Dark Tide, the more tightly the seal is placed."
"The portal might still work in the outer space, but it certainly can't reach the depths."
"You should know that Jie You paid a considerable price when he built the teleportation array."
The Alliance currently only has three Star God at most.
Only when Qin Ze and the Goddess of the Earth combine can it be considered one.
The God of War's method of leading the gods across the sea definitely won't work.
Through this encounter, Qin Ze discovered that the Strange God was not invincible.
They have weaknesses, and they can die.
That's why we absolutely cannot give them time to develop.
The day the sea recedes on its own will likely mark the true end of the Abyss's Myriad Races.
While there aren't many Strange God resurrected yet, we can barely manage a 50/50 fight.
The Pillar God on the other side of the Strange God's side is still unaware of the situation, while the Star God's side is full of "the old, weak, sick, and disabled."
Once Niuniu and the others have fully recovered, the situation will be beyond repair.
Qin Ze said to Thousand Faces, " The Circus has nurtured you for so long; now it's time for you to put your skills to use."
Thousand Faces understood Qin Ze 'Bai Bai meaning. "Give me some time, and I promise I'll find out exactly what color underwear Dark Tide wears."
"Remember, the one who carries you to victory is always the Son of the Version!"
The Captain scoffed, "I was the one who was leading the flight just now, while you were just walking the dog."
Thousand Faces corrected. "It's not like we're walking the dog; we're buying time for your frontal attack."
Qin Ze did not believe that Dark Tide had no weaknesses.
The rest can only be handled by Thousand Faces.
Qin Ze said to Yue Sheng, "With this sea, we can at least catch our breath for now."
"You are the Alliance's chief scientist, the most brilliant mind; the solution to this impasse is entrusted to you."
Yue Sheng nodded. "Give me some time, let me think it over."
Standing on the ice wall, Qin Ze slowly turned around to face the soldiers of the First Army.
As everyone looked up, that majestic golden figure was deeply etched into the hearts of each and every one of them.
Qin Ze kept hearing the notification sound of "Faith value increased by one".
He looked at everyone and slowly said, "You have proven your loyalty to the Alliance through your actions."
"This is our first victory, but it certainly won't be our last."
"We lost many brothers in this battle, but we will never forget them."
"I will erect a monument here, and the name of every warrior who sacrificed their life for civilization will be engraved on it. Each of you will leave a significant mark on the annals of Myriad Races."
All the soldiers of the First Army had bright, shining eyes.
To have one's name recorded in history is an absolute honor.
What soldiers fear is never sacrifice, but being forgotten.
Qin Ze continued, "I want to witness the day when the Strange God are destroyed and the strange beasts perish; to witness the day when civilization is equal and everyone is free; to witness the day when Myriad Races live in harmony and are closely united."
Tell me, are you willing to witness this with me?
The next second, cheers erupted from the crowd.
"I bear witness!"
"I bear witness!"
"..."
Not far away, Yue Sheng murmured softly, "I witnessed it too."
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "I firmly believe that day will eventually come."
