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

Chapter 412 [Ascending to Legendary Status!]

[The Filthy Apostle]

To be honest, Shane was no stranger to such beings.

Back when the Wrath of God occurred on Emerald Isle, Shane had encountered a being who called himself the Apostle of Filth.

At that time, Xia En and Yan Yan went through a difficult battle and successfully defeated it.

However, the "Filthy Apostle" at that time did not seem to be His true form.

It's more like a projection or clone of the other party in the [Seven Seas World].

Moreover, there is a clear difference between Him and the “Apostle of Great Sin” before Him.

Obviously.

The [Filthy Fate] has more than one [Filthy Apostle] under his command!
The [Great Sin Apostle] before us is a [Filthy Apostle] who has personally entered the [Seven Seas World]!
His purpose was obvious: to assist the Filthy Fate in reaping the corrupt power of the Seven Seas World.

Think about it carefully.

【秽司命】(Huì Sī Mìng) takes food from the power of filth and chaos.

The Great Sin Apostles, on the other hand, feed on the sins of humanity.

These two things are inherently connected in some way.

And when the [Filthy Fate] unleashed a great flood in the [Seven Seas World]...

Even after removing the forces of filth, the desires and instincts inherent in human nature will be in a state of extreme agitation.

It was absorbed by both of them.

Thinking about it more deeply...

The purpose of the Apostle of Sin in establishing the Truth Society may not have been entirely pure.

These most outstanding scientists and geniuses of the seven seas may have, in a subtle and gradual way, achieved the evil goals of the [Great Sin Apostles].

The reason why the atmosphere of the Truth Society became so extreme, even to the point of madness, in its later stages was...

It is very likely that this is also related to the "Great Sin Apostle".

but.

Even members of the Truth Society might not know the true identity of the Omniscient Sage.

and so.

So many members of the Truth Society expressed their dissent when they learned that the Seven Seas Federation was going to stop the Great Flame from destroying it.

The master mentioned by the [String Puppet] is none other than this [Great Sin Apostle].

They then used a method similar to mind control to change the minds of those members of the "Truth Society".

This resulted in the remaining sane individuals within the [Truth Society].

Alternatively, it can be physically eliminated.

Alternatively, they may have been branded with ideological imprints and become accomplices of the "Great Sin Apostles".

Unlike Shane, who had prior contact with the [Filthy Apostles].

Most of the legends present had never heard of such a being.

but.

They all learned from the King of Cinder about the Outer God, the Lord of Filth, and that He was the culprit behind the great flood.

And the current "Omniscient Sage" is actually an apostle of this Outer God.

Or rather, family members?
Furthermore, He has been lying dormant in the Seven Seas for at least a thousand years.

This fact undoubtedly brought them a huge shock.

Seeing the shocked looks on the faces of the many legends, the [Great Sin Apostle] revealed an extremely enjoyable and intoxicated expression.

"Yes, that's it."

"No matter how many times I've experienced it, your shock, anger, and fear always captivate me..."

"The Truth Society, which you despise and fear, was founded by me."

"The forbidden plan to replicate the strong from history was also devised by me."

“That bizarre ritual was given to me, and I was the one who destroyed the Great Yan Kingdom.”

"By the way."

“Even the one Augustine challenged back then wasn’t the real [Filth God], but me, who carried His power!”

At this point, the [Great Sin Apostle] even showed a look of regret.

"Unfortunately, he died before I could reveal the truth to Augustine."

"It's a real shame that we didn't get to see him show that shocked expression again."

This series of shocking truths once again deeply disturbed everyone present.

A legendary expert couldn't help but ask.

What exactly is your purpose in doing all this?

"Purpose?"

[The Great Sin Apostle] tilted his head slightly and asked with some doubt.

"Do you need a purpose to do these things?"

"It's just because I want to do it."

“I would do this even without my lord’s command.”

He paused for a moment, then continued.

"If you insist."

"That is... whenever I see so-called strong people and geniuses struggling in front of me, revealing their ugly state of despair and fear."

"I felt incredibly refreshed and couldn't help myself!"

"The feeling of manipulating others, especially those who think they are great, giving them hope and then letting them fall into utter despair, is just too wonderful."

As he spoke, a twisted and exaggerated smile once again appeared on the lips of the [Great Sin Apostle].

Anyone can see it.

His words were not lies, but rather a genuine expression of enjoying the process.

Hear these words.

A strong sense of absurdity arose in the hearts of everyone present.

They sensed a pure malice in the words of the [Apostle of Sin].

That was unprovoked malice towards all humanity and the entire world.

Perhaps no demon in myths and legends could be more evil than this.

no doubt.

The man in front of me is a complete madman!
His soul may have broken down sometime in the past, thus becoming what it is now.

and.

This madman actually orchestrated several disasters in the Seven Seas World.

Even Augustine and the Lord of Cinder were manipulated by him!

Such a fact is inevitably difficult for many to accept.

And at this time.

[The Apostle of Great Sin] The mindset of revealing all the truth himself.

Surprisingly, Xia En was able to understand.

He had once found something quite strange.

That is--

In some movies, novels, or TV series, the villains, despite having an absolute advantage, refuse to kill the entire protagonist group immediately.

Instead, she proactively shared her personal journey with the main characters.

Or, the entire process of plotting and scheming.

The time wasted in this process gave the main characters a chance to turn the tide and win.

This led to a very classic phenomenon.

It's called, "The villain dies from talking too much."

But now that Xia En thinks about it...

Besides the screenwriter's explanation of the villain's motivation, there is another more important reason for this phenomenon.

That is, the villains themselves also need to use this method to vent their emotions!

They have worked hard for a certain goal for decades, and naturally they need an "audience" to witness their final success.

if not.

What's the difference between this and "wearing fine clothes in the dark"?
And there is no doubt about it.

Those protagonists who oppose you and try to hinder you are the best targets.

These people who are destined to die can satisfy the villain's desire to confide, allowing him to reveal the secrets he has kept buried in his heart for so many years.

And there's no need to worry about the information being leaked.

and.

Their anger, fear, and shock upon learning the truth will also become ingredients for the villain's great success, making the victory even more delightful.

The mindset of the [Great Sin Apostle] at this time is similar.

However, there is a slight difference.

What the [Great Sin Apostle] desires is the feeling of toying with powerful beings like the Lords of Cinder.

The reason he dared to do this was naturally because he possessed overwhelming strength.

Because the [Great Sin Apostles] are beings that do not belong to the [Seven Seas World].

Therefore, his true strength is difficult to measure using the standards of the Seven Seas World.

However, it is not difficult to see from the disastrous defeats of Augustine and the King of Cinder in history.

The rank of the [Great Sin Apostle] is at least at the ninth rank or above!
Think of this.

Xia En's mood plummeted.

No matter how crazy or abnormal the [Great Sin Apostles] are.

Ultimately, strength is the foundation of a secret cultivator.

As long as he possesses power that surpasses all the Seven Seas, none of the many legends present can thwart his plot.

at this time.

The Apostle of Sin glanced around at everyone present and once again revealed a twisted smile.

Why don't you all guess what I'm going to do next?

As he spoke, the [Great Sin Apostle] stretched out his hand.

The Great Flame below immediately burst into flames of pitch black.

At first, it was just a few scattered sparks.

But soon, the black fire began to spread to all parts of the Great Flame.

Wherever the pitch-black flames reached, the memories of [Da Yan] became fragmented, and gradually revealed scenes outside of [Da Yan].

At the same time, countless undead in the Great Flame were also devoured and assimilated by this black fire.

One by one, the mangled bodies began to decompose in the flames, becoming its nourishment.

And under such black fire.

Everyone was astonished.

Outside of the Great Yan, the glaciers in the far north are gradually melting!
Glaciers continuously melt into seawater, which then flows into the surrounding icy sea.

What started as a trickle quickly evolved into a raging river, causing the nearby seawater to surge violently.

Upon seeing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

They realized the intentions of the Apostles of Sin.

He actually wanted to manipulate the power of the Great Flame to ignite the glaciers of the Far North and completely unleash a portion of the Great Flood that the Lord of Cinder had once sealed away.

This will trigger the second cataclysmic disaster!
at the same time.

[The Great Sin Apostle] laughed loudly and arrogantly.

"The final node of the Great Yan you are searching for is none other than me!"

"Next, I will make you watch helplessly as this world is submerged by the sea again."

"Finally, I will let you die in utter despair!"

"If you want to stop this second cataclysmic flood, try killing me."

"—If you can do it."

The voice just fell.

The Lord of Cinder transformed into a roaring ball of flame and hurtled towards the [Great Sin Apostle].

Not only him, but all the legendary powerhouses present also unleashed their true killing moves.

Musa pushed his hands forward.

A dazzling beam of light shot out from his palm.

Wherever the beam of light passed, the darkness melted away as quickly as ice and snow.

The pillar of light contained boundless divine power, seemingly capable of purifying all evil in the world, and fell upon the body of the [Great Sin Apostle].

With a roar, the Thunder Lord unleashed a massive bolt of purple lightning, like a dragon emerging from the sea, cleaving straight down from the clouds and landing precisely in his hand.

He gripped the lightning bolts tightly in his hands, as if he held the power of the entire world in his grasp.

next moment.

The thunderous spear then pierced towards the chest of the [Great Sin Apostle].

Mr. Heller slowly raised his hands, and a low sobbing sound filled the air, as if countless wronged souls were wailing in pain.

His eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and he muttered incantations.

A black vortex slowly formed in front of him, with a chilling crimson light flickering within it.

In an instant.

A pitch-black vortex appeared before the [Great Sin Apostle]...

Everyone knew that this was the moment that would determine the fate of the world.

If we don't use our full strength now, when will we?
However, among the many secret travelers, Xia En did not make a move, but was in an extremely unusual and mysterious state.

Countless pieces of information rushed past him like a waterfall.

You've learned the truth of history from the "Apostle of Great Sin"!

[The mystery of the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom is 100% solved!]

[The mystery of the "Truth Society" is 100% solved!]

[The mystery of Augustine's downfall is 100% solved!]

【…】

You have received a gift from the "secret"!

[Career fit: 100%!]

[Promotion to Seventh-Tier Legendary Rank Begins!]

As numerous prompts flashed by, a tremendous force surged into Xia En's body, cleansing his soul.

A roar echoed in his mind, and then he began to plummet into that deep and unknown dark space.

That is——

The Secret Sea!
After the familiar feeling of falling continued to come.

Xia En opened his eyes again.

What appeared before him was a vast and boundless, breathtakingly beautiful scene filled with countless stars and flowing light.

But at this time.

Xia En's mood was not particularly excited; instead, he felt a deep sense of worry and unease.

Reaching legendary status is certainly something to be happy about.

But the current situation is different.

Adding a new legend will not have a significant impact on the overall battle.

Even if Xia En were arrogant, he would never believe that he had the ability to defeat a [Great Sin Apostle] of the ninth rank or above, just because he had just broken through to the Legendary level.

Even during this promotion process.

His body, which remains in the Seven Seas World, may still be affected by the great war.

This situation made it impossible for him to feel at ease.

In fact.

A battle against the [Great Sin Apostle].

It can be said that this was the most difficult and desperate battle that Shane faced.

The huge difference in rank made it difficult for him to play a role in this battle.

In fact, Shane even became a burden to the Lord of Cinder at one point.

This was a first for him.

The fragments of memories from 【The Great Sin Apostle】where the Lord of Cinder was suppressed are even more shocking.

Even with Xia En's unwavering will, some pessimistic thoughts couldn't help but arise.

"Can we really win this battle?"
