National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

In the midst of the chaos, no one noticed that Fang Heng had already arrived at the bow of the Lehman Empire's flagship.

Fang Heng looked at the deity at the bow of the ship, narrowed his eyes, and reached out to press his hand towards the deity.

The game prompts flashed across Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: Players have discovered a Grandmaster-level deity - corresponding deity (unknown)].

[Note: Player fleets can be bound to this deity.]

[Note: After installing the deity, the player's fleet will enjoy the deity's bonus.]

"Snapped!"

A soft sound.

The moment Fang Heng's right hand touched the statue of the deity, a scorching power flowed rapidly into his sea of ​​consciousness through his palm.

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.

coming!

It was stronger than the previous times.

boom!
The hellish power within the sea of ​​consciousness erupted instantly, tearing the invading force to shreds in a flash, before swiftly counterattacking and invading the body of the ship's head deity.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, the deity at the bow of the ship exploded.

"cut……"

Fang Heng pursed his lips.

Vulnerable.

The hellish power within him had been cultivated to the level of a god, making it utterly ineffective against the remaining power within the divine statue.

I don't know if this counts as good news.

Fang Heng couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Too much strength is also not good.

Even a grandmaster-level deity cannot withstand the power of hell. Could it be that he needs to find a god-level deity to satisfy his own requirements?

When will we be able to complete the first step of the main quest?
Fang Heng shook his head, then looked up and surveyed his surroundings.

Anyway, we're already here.

Why not take advantage of the current chaos on the Island of the Sea God and go check out the sacrificial site beforehand?

If you were to swagger to the sacrificial site during the day tomorrow and accidentally damage the statues of the deities there, it would cause you a lot of trouble.

go!
Go check it out!
Fang Heng made up his mind to continue in his soul form and quickly headed towards the sacrificial site.

Meanwhile, on the eastern coast.

Reginald and his men had searched the entire merchant ship thoroughly, but they still couldn't find the hidden statue of the god.

what happened?

Are the people of the Oz Empire really that good at hiding things?
"Your Highness, we should go."

A guard glanced at the coastline and warned, "The number of sea monsters is decreasing significantly. Once they've cleared out the remaining ones, they'll immediately board the merchant ships for inspection. We might just run into them head-on then."

"So fast?"

Reginald was taken aback, then pushed his men aside and walked to the window to survey the situation outside.

As his subordinates had said, along the coast, the fleets of ships that had been temporarily moored were already finishing up with the priests of the Sea God's Island, gradually launching a counterattack to clear away the remaining sea monsters from the beach.

"What's going on? Why did the attack stop so quickly?" Reginald turned to look at the two accompanying priests, his displeasure growing, and coldly questioned, "Who told you to stop!"

The two priests were also a little confused about the situation.

In theory, the tide of sea monsters shouldn't stop so quickly after it's been triggered.

Reginald's attitude only made them more annoyed, and they immediately retorted coldly, "The tide of sea monsters is controlled by Lord Darcy. He must have his reasons for doing so. Your Highness, this operation is over, and we should leave."

Reginald clenched his fists and muttered under his breath, "That Darcy guy! What is he doing?!"

He originally planned that even if he couldn't find the statue of the god, he would still have Darcy control the sea monster to completely destroy the entire ship!

If he can't have it, then no one else can!
But unfortunately...

So much effort was put in, only to end up with nothing?

Reginald grew angrier the more he thought about it. Seeing that Howell had already begun to gather his men and prepare to return to the merchant ship, he had no choice but to leave the ship under the urging of his guards.

The group had just carefully left the merchant ship from the right side and hadn't even had a chance to return when two guards rushed forward to report, "Your Highness."

Reginald said irritably, "What is it!"

The two guards looked anxious. "Our ship has been attacked."

"Huh? Who? Who dares to attack us?"

"It's a sea monster."

Reginald froze for a moment.

Sea monster?
Funny?
"The outer defenses of the three ships have been completely breached, and they could sink at any moment."

what?
Why does the ship seem to be sinking the moment we turn around?!

Reginald immediately became very nervous. Without bothering to ask why, he shouted, "Quick! Take me there to see!"

When Reginald rushed to the southern coast, the entire coastline was already occupied by swarms of sea monsters. The three ships belonging to the Lyman Empire had also been firmly occupied by the sea monsters, with most of them sunk into the sea, leaving only the bows of the ships above the surface.

"Damn it! Can someone tell me what's going on?!"

They were the ones controlling the tide of sea monsters, so how come they ended up not only getting no benefits, but also having their ships destroyed?
No one speaks.

The Imperial soldiers had no idea what had happened.

They were simply ordered to guard the ships.

Then the sea monster came, and they had no choice but to run.

Their boat sank not long after they set sail.

Seeing this, Reginald became even more furious and roared, "Speak! Are you all mute?!"

The soldiers remained somewhat dazed throughout, while the first mate gradually came to his senses and looked up at the right coastline.

Reginald followed his gaze and saw Darcy leading a group of priests from the Isle of Poseidon, who had just arrived and were standing far off on the shore, looking in the direction of the sunken ship with solemn expressions.

"Darcy!"

Reginald cursed, clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with rage, and led a group of soldiers toward Darcy and his party.

"Priest Darcy! What have you done! Aren't you going to send reinforcements?! Do you want to watch my ship sink?!"

Faced with Reginald's questioning, Darcy shook his head, took a deep breath, and said, "It's over."

"Too late? What's too late! What are you trying to say!"

Darcy had just suffered a backlash from his mental energy, and his mental state was extremely poor. He looked at the ships ahead and said, "On our way here, we sensed that the power of the gods was being suppressed and was about to shatter. Unfortunately, we were too late."

The statue of the deity is broken?

"what?"

Reginald turned around and looked at the bow of his ship.

As Darcy said, the statue of the god on the prow is gone!

Broken?

The original intention behind activating the Siren's Song to summon the tide of sea monsters was to seize the powerful deity of the Oz Empire's merchant guild.

The results of it?
Now he's being told that not only has the statue of the merchant guild deity of the Oz Empire not been found, but his own three ships have sunk, and even the deity on board has been shattered?!
Reginald could no longer contain his anger. He strode forward, grabbed Darcy by the collar, and stared at him intently. "Darcy! What happened today?! You have to give me an explanation!"

Darcy was also secretly angry. He felt that this was no ordinary coincidence and that some force was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

But what power could possibly achieve such a feat?

If someone is indeed behind this, is that person someone they can really deal with?
Darcy took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and pried Reginald's hand off his collar, saying slowly and deliberately, "We will investigate this thoroughly." (End of Chapter)
