We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 35 Divine Messenger (Happy New Year!!!)

Swimming through the church gates, one is greeted by a scene of utter chaos.

Rotten wood chips float in the seawater, the ground and walls are full of cracks, and irregular stones can be seen everywhere.

This place looks as if it has been through an underwater storm.

This has made this ancient building precarious.

"Such destructive power."

Seeing this, Assad was secretly alarmed.

Such traces could not have been left by an ordinary first-tier secret cultivator.

Although their clan rarely interacts with outsiders, they have their own traditions and naturally have some understanding of secret cultivators and ranks.

Asad himself was a Tier 1 Berserker in the Berserker Path.

Therefore, it is clearer to understand what it means that the aftermath of a battle alone could create such a scene.

However, what surprised Assad even more was something else.

"coral……"

"There are no corals here?"

Every sea creature living in Coral City knows that coral is an integral part of this city.

Leaving aside the "polluters" lurking in the shadows, corals can be found in any building to varying degrees.

But in everyone's eyes at that moment, the interior of the church was excessively "clean".

"How is this going?"

Assad frowned slightly and asked Hela, "Was this place like this when you left?"

"no."

Hela also looked puzzled: "Strange... I remember there were still quite a few corals on the wall when I left."

She pointed to a corner of the church: "And the body of that polluter, it was lying here before, where did it go?"

Assad walked to the location Hella pointed out and found a layer of grayish-white powder on the ground.

He picked up a small pinch of powder with his fingers, examined it carefully, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"This is... the aura of the Lord of Radiance!"

In fact, the ancestors of these sea creatures were residents of the Kingdom of Shudon.

After transforming into sea creatures, this group of people were fortunate enough to survive the terrible disaster and have continued to this day, thus gaining some understanding of the civilization of their predecessors.

Moreover, the sea creatures discovered that worshipping the Lord of Light could reduce the probability of being [contaminated].

Thus, the faith in the Lord of Radiance was rekindled among them.

But why is the aura of the Lord of Radiance left here?
Still so pure and rich?

With these questions in mind, Assad led his group further into the church.

The further he went, the more surprised Assad became.

Similar to the scene in the hall, there were signs of a battle all around, but not a single corpse of a corrupted being could be seen.

Only some grayish-white powder remained in place, proving that they had once existed in this world.

The pollutants and corals inside the church looked as if they had been meticulously cleaned.

"Was all done by that shadowy figure?"

"How many polluters did he actually execute?"

"But what was his purpose in doing this?"

Assad was somewhat puzzled.

He knew very well what a dangerous and bizarre entity the Polluter was.

With immense strength, fearlessness, and extraordinary regenerative abilities, this combination already makes him extremely formidable.

Not to mention, the most terrifying ability of the polluter is precisely its characteristic of "pollution"!
Prolonged contact with the contaminated creature will cause you to be assimilated and turn into a mindless monster.

This process is almost irreversible!

Therefore, even the most valiant warriors in the tribe are unwilling to provoke the corruptors.

But right now, someone is willing to risk their life to eliminate all the polluters along the way, without asking for anything in return?

There's no such thing as a free lunch underwater.
Hela also noticed the anomaly in the church and whispered, "By the way, Father, Mr. Shadow was bitten by the Corruptor before, but there are no signs of corruption."

"Could it be that Mr. Shadow is an entity that specifically hunts down those who have been corrupted?"

His daughter's words were like a thunderbolt flashing through Assad's mind, connecting many key points into a single thread.

In an instant, Assad understood everything. A knowing smile appeared on his face as he said, "It's not hunting, it's purification!"

"I understand completely now..."

"That gentleman is an envoy of the Lord of Radiance!"

Hela: "Huh?"

Seeing that his fellow tribesmen were somewhat puzzled, Assad patiently explained, "These grayish-white powders are the remains of the polluters, and they retain the aura of brilliance."

"It is clear that they have been purified by divine light."

"Only the messengers of the Lord of Radiance will actively purify these defiled souls, and because of the blessings of the gods, the messengers will not be corrupted by them."

Assad's statement is reasonable, well-founded, and convincing.

Everyone nodded, except for Hela, who blinked her eyes in a somewhat bewildered manner.

No matter what, she couldn't connect that ghostly, eerie image with the word "divine messenger."

"Father..."

Hela hadn't even finished saying her words of advice.

Suddenly, as if to confirm Assad's conjecture, a bright light suddenly appeared at the corner not far away.

"That is!?"

Assad's gaze sharpened, and he immediately swam toward the source of the light.

The others quickly followed.

However, their movements were still a bit slow, and they could only see it from a distance...

At the end of the passage, a defiler was bathed in divine light.

The light was so warm that it inexplicably made people feel a sense of intimacy and comfort.

Perhaps purified by the radiance, the polluter vaguely transformed into the appearance of a nun!

The nun had her back to the crowd, as if she were whispering something to someone.

Because the light in mid-air was too bright, people could not see the appearance of that being, and could only see the outline of a human figure.

He is filled with divinity and a powerful aura, so intense that one cannot look directly at him, yet one cannot help but feel a desire to worship him.

After a while.

As the light faded, the nun and the figure vanished.

Many sea creatures were filled with a sense of loss, as if they had witnessed a miracle.

"There's no mistake, that's the Divine Envoy!"

Assad stated unequivocally, "Besides the messenger of God, who else can purify these corruptors?"

"The nun was most likely inspired by a divine messenger, confessed her sins to the messenger, and was thus freed."

At this moment, even Hela, who had seen the Shadow Man in his true form, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of self-doubt.

"Could it be that my knowledge is too limited, and I cannot recognize the true face of the Divine Envoy?"

After thinking for a moment, Hela couldn't help but ask curiously, "But why did the Divine Messenger suddenly disappear?"

Assad paused, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"How could we possibly fathom the thoughts of someone like Him?"

“The divine messenger must have had a profound reason for doing this.”

……

……

at the same time.

Xia En had just woken up from the captain's chair, yawned, and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Two lines of information flashed across the panel.

Your actions have earned you the respect and admiration of the sea creatures!

[Gained the status "Worship of the Seafolk"!]

"??????"
