Sail Shadows in the Sea of ​​Fog

Chapter 227 A Long Conspiracy
"Wow!"

The sudden surge of waves made the many captains and sailors watching realize that Poseidon seemed to have lifted the seal on this sea area.

At this moment, only Poseidon in the form of a Valkyrie and a tiny little girl, almost insignificant, who kept throwing her bridle at Poseidon, who was many times larger than her, remained on the sea surface.

"Charge! Charge onto Iron Oak Island!" Yun Hai was the first to give the order.

As the order was relayed, the pirates from Pirate City urged their sailors to maneuver the sails and helms, steer their pirate ships, which flew various pirate flags, toward Iron Oak Island in a race to the finish line.

A little later, fleets from the Starsea Continent, both civilian and royal, also rushed toward Iron Oak Island. They had to hurry, otherwise there might not be any berths available around the island.

There are those who are bold, and there are those who are timid. Those who are more cautious by nature will naturally keep their attention on Poseidon.

Although Senfa and the others in the Brotherhood fleet were considered cautious, they were more worried about Cheng Lang and the others who were being swallowed up at this moment.

After a brief hesitation, Senfa gave the order: "All personnel, listen up! Set sail! Launch the cannons! Overload the explosives! Mushroom shells! Target: Poseidon!"

"Our artillery is ineffective against Poseidon."

Yun Hai reminded them through the communicator, "The most important thing now is to seize enough Blood Cores. This is the key to our continued fighting."

"Fighting alongside the fleet commander is more important."

At this moment, Senfa was no longer the cautious shrewd businessman he usually was. He issued the order like a true, even audacious, captain: "Fire at Poseidon! Fire until the barrel explodes, until the ship sinks!"

"Yes!"

The Brotherhood fleet responded in unison, with numerous sailboats of varying styles lined up and charged toward Poseidon, who stood motionless on the sea.

At this moment, half a spear was stuck in Poseidon's chest, and the spear was even slowly moving into Poseidon's body, as if it were being slowly chewed and swallowed by a huge mouth.

At the foot of Poseidon, who was much taller than the mast, Princess Mist Shadow, riding her pet snake, hissed and her little face was tense. She pursed her lips and cried as she threw the seemingly endless tassels from her wrist onto Poseidon.

However, even though the bridles had wrapped around Poseidon's entire body, and even though she had clenched her little fists and used all her strength, Poseidon on the sea surface did not react at all.

Finally, Wuying threw away the last tassel wrapped around her wrist.

"Give me back my mother!"

Wuying wiped away her tears, rode Hishi, and brandished a long spear as she charged towards Poseidon, who was many times larger than her.

"puff!"

To her surprise, the spear in her hand, which was no bigger than a toothpick to Poseidon, pierced Poseidon's skin without any resistance!
"Hiss! Eat it!"

As Wuying crisply issued the command, she pulled out her spear and thrust it back in.

At the same time, the undead creature, Hiss, opened its mouth wide without thinking and bit down hard on Poseidon's calf. Unfortunately, it didn't manage to bite anything off.

"Let's go up! Let's go up!"

Suddenly, Princess Mist Shadow realized something and shouted, directing Hiss to lead her up Poseidon's body towards his heart.

Meanwhile, the situation inside Poseidon's body was quite different.

The moment Cheng Lang and his group were maneuvering their "mechs" into Poseidon's bodies, they were as if they had been thrown into a void dock, arriving on an island covered with reefs.

However, at this moment, the vine-drill gorillas had already transformed into their original forms of statues and wine jars, while the ray-tribe mixed-race female sailors, and even the lyre-tailed fish people led by Tinesa, had transformed into fish eggs as if they had drunk the blood of Poseidon.

Thus, on this rocky island that is not much higher than the sea level, there is only Ye Di, who is squatting on the highest rock and licking his paws, as well as Cheng Lang and Yun Lan, and even Gerta and Ya Fusuo, along with Yun Ji and Shen Ba.

Of course, there were also the wolf cubs who were originally hiding in the cabins of the Thorn.

On the other side of the island stood a towering figure, even taller than Shenba, wielding a trident.

At this moment, besides the trident in his hand, he also dragged the Armor of Ambition.

"Are you Poseidon?" Cheng Lang asked.

Unfortunately, the man, whose appearance was so unremarkable, did not answer, but continued to look at the metal heart in his hand.

"Although piloting a mech is fun, I'm more used to fighting like this."

Before Cheng Lang could finish speaking, he had already cracked his whip and charged towards Poseidon.

“I also prefer this style of fighting,” Yun Lan said, tearing off her veil and drawing her rapier as she charged forward.

"If Sinriko knew I fought that stinky fish Poseidon, she would definitely fall in love with me!" Shenba said, drawing his scythe and charging forward.

Yun Ji didn't speak, but she had already drawn her dagger, hid behind Shenba, and rushed forward from Poseidon's possible blind spot.

"I can still wield a scimitar."

As Greva spoke, he discarded his useless flintlock pistol, brandished a large scimitar, and charged forward.

“Me too,” Yafso said, holding up her large scissors and following along.

"us."

"You stay."

Nightshade used its long tail to block the werewolf sailor and the dark elf sailor mixed in with it, saying, "You are good friends of Mist Shadow, and I will not allow you to get hurt."

"Oh!"

Before the big cat could finish speaking, Poseidon casually swung his trident, and Cheng Lang's whip broke into several pieces. He and the people rushing up behind him were slammed against the edge of the island by the force of the trident's swing.

"puff!"

Cheng Lang spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt as if his ribs had been broken, but the enormous difference in strength between the two sides was something that all his previous efforts and preparations could not make up for.

With difficulty, Yavso turned her head to look around. The others were not much better off. Even so, she struggled to sit up, placed one hand on the ground and rocks, and placed her green-glowing hand on Gerta, who was the most seriously injured.

In the dazzling green light between her palms, the dying Gerta was pulled back from the brink of death, and his condition visibly improved.

"Captain, listen to me."

As Yafso recovered, she placed her hand on Yun Lan's body and said in a trembling voice, "Thanks to the power granted by the Azure Sacred Tree, I am now certain that we are inside Poseidon's body. I can draw on his energy to help you recover, but when you return to me, you must at least have a breath left."

"It seems there's still a chance of winning," Cheng Lang struggled to get up.

However, in the blink of an eye, Poseidon suddenly appeared before him.

"puff!"

Before he could even react, Poseidon's trident pierced his body, then through Yun Lan, who had just been pulled up, and finally through one of Yafso's legs, pinning all three of them to the reef.

You are too weak.

Poseidon said disappointedly, "Loth actually dared to think that you could kill me."

"The Valkyrie wasn't much stronger than us back then," Cheng Lang said, blood already welling up from the corner of his mouth.

"You're so stupid."

Poseidon glanced at Yafso with interest. The little girl, whose face was full of panic, had no time to treat the dying Yun Ji and Shen Ba, let alone touch her grandfather who was being trampled under Poseidon's feet.

All she could do at that moment was to place her red-glowing hand on the reef and her green-glowing hand on Yun Lan, whose chest had been pierced, frantically drawing energy to sustain Yun Lan's life.

Only after confirming that these ant-like lives posed no further threat did Poseidon speak, “The reverse scale and the heart are of no importance, but you were foolish enough to use the Armor of Ambition to lure the enemy. It seems you have no idea of ​​the secret of this Armor of Ambition.”

As he spoke, Poseidon released his trident and easily sliced ​​open Cheng Lang's collapsed chest cavity with a fingernail of that hand.

"Let go, my captain!"

As Yafso spoke, she snipped off the pierced leg with her large scissors, then leaned up, gripping her trident, and laboriously placed her glowing green hand on Cheng Lang's wrist.

In the intense green light, Cheng Lang's chest cavity was rapidly repaired, and Yun Lan, who had lost the support of the green light, gradually weakened.

“Yun Lan, Ba. Bakel. Hand,” Yafso said with difficulty.

"What a mess."

As Yun Lan murmured to herself, Cheng Lang manipulated an invisible whip to lift Yun Lan's hand, which she could no longer raise, and bound her hands together with difficulty.

However, just as Yun Lan regained her strength with the green light in Yafso's hand, Poseidon, who had seemed to be watching the show the whole time, reached into Cheng Lang's still-open chest and pulled out his beating heart.

"puff!"

As Yun Ji shook her head helplessly, as Ya Fu Suo gritted her teeth and released more green light, and as Yun Lan watched coldly, Poseidon crushed the heart he had taken out and carefully smeared it on the Armor of Ambition.

"You did it on purpose."

Yun Lan ignored the trident piercing through her body, slowly stood up, helped Ya Fu Suo who only had one leg, and made her a prosthetic limb with thorns. Then she helped Cheng Lang, who was still alive.

“The Armor of Ambition has been taken over by this lowly reptile,” Poseidon said. “This is the only way to remove the occupation, Dark Elf. You cooperated well.”

"Click"

Just then, a soft sound came from the Armor of Ambition in Poseidon's hand, followed by fine cracks appearing.

“Yafso, stop,” Yun Lan said. “We must kill the captain.”

Before she could finish speaking, and before Yafso could make a decision, Poseidon had already opened his chest and stuffed the armor of ambition inside.

You lost.

At that very moment, Poseidon, Yunlan, and even Santa Barbara, who appeared out of nowhere, all uttered the same sentence in unison.

"Xiao Bao, detonate it." Yun Lan's calm tone made Poseidon's eyes widen.

"Oh!"

Almost simultaneously, Xiao Bao, hidden inside the Armor of Ambition, reached into his eye socket and pulled out the strand of hair that belonged to Yun Lan, which Vanhart had stuffed in a long time ago. With a gentle tug, he caused a not-so-violent explosion inside the cramped Armor of Ambition, but one that was loud enough for everyone outside the chest cavity to hear.

"This is."

"The spores of poisonous mushrooms, the spores of the most potent poisonous mushrooms."

Yavso, who was standing firmly on the thorny prosthetic arm, said, “They have no other purpose than to absorb energy. They are the bacteria I found on your arm.”

"When?" Poseidon asked, his body involuntarily staggering backward until he finally collapsed to the ground.

"Do you really think that when I ordered the wandering circus to lock me in the eternal coffin, I was sleeping?"

Yun Lan asked coldly, "Do you really think that no one on the Star Sea Continent knows about the dwarves being bewitched by you and doing their dirty work on Iron Oak Island?"

Do you really think that the preparations the Star Sea Continent has made over hundreds of years were simply to pull in an unknown person from another world and place all their hopes on him?

"Who are you? Who are you?"

Poseidon asked in a panic, not because he was panicked about the mushrooms that were constantly absorbing energy within him, but because he was panicked about the Armor of Ambition that had begun to frantically devour energy.

That can only mean one thing: this armor of ambition is still serving someone else!

You will get the answer.

Still bound by the trident, Yun Lan wiped the blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. With all her might, using the dense thorns as support, she struggled to push Cheng Lang, who had lost his heart, out of the other end of the trident, and then pushed herself out as well.

"You got off easy."

Yun Lan glanced at Cheng Lang lying on the ground, "I'll help you get a heart from Poseidon."

"No, stop, don't take my heart away, no!"

Poseidon, who had just been looking down on the world with an air of arrogance, was now in a panic, and his body was even shrinking.

"laugh"

Yun Lan easily sliced ​​open Poseidon's chest cavity with her rapier, picked out the wildly beating heart, brought it to her lips and kissed it lightly, then without any hesitation threw it into Cheng Lang's heart.

Almost as she licked away the dark red blood from the corner of her mouth, Cheng Lang's chest closed in the blink of an eye as the green light in Yafso's hand filled in.

"I feel completely drained," Cheng Lang struggled to his feet.

"The plan has been a complete success."

As Yun Lan spoke, she looked at Ye Di, who was still licking his fur not far away, and said, "Lord Ye Di, please enjoy your little snack."

"Ms. Santa Barbaya, what's your opinion on this?"

As Yedi walked towards Poseidon, he asked, "Or perhaps, the Web Weaver?"

"Guardians of the Old World, this hunt is over."

Saint Barbaya, still seated on the shattered mirror throne, suddenly appeared. "That little princess has already placed a seal on Luo's body, so please enjoy your snacks."

"Do I have to leave this world?" Night Demon asked as he tore at Poseidon.

"I must leave too."

Santa Barbaya sighed, "We should all leave. With the Sea God killed and the Valkyrie voluntarily sealed away, there will be no more power beyond human capabilities in this world."

Where will you go?

As Night God spoke, he had already swallowed Poseidon, but Poseidon's body was visibly shrinking.

"I am the only life in Mirror Sea."

Santa Barbaya replied, "With the disappearance of the extraordinary power, the Mirror Sea will also be completely separated from the Star Sea."

“My teacher, I have one last question.”

Yun Lan asked, "Where is our captain? Where is he going next?"

Let him choose for himself.

As Santa Barbara spoke, her throne began to crumble. "If he stays, he may need a heart replacement soon. The heart from Poseidon won't beat for much longer."

“What a shame”

As Yun Lan spoke, she raised the blood-stained thorny dagger in her hand to her chest and gave a knightly salute.

"Lord Yedi, it's your turn," Yun Lan said.

"The Old World is now in your hands," Nightshade said, already using his claws to create a medium channel.

At the same time, Yafso used the last bit of energy she had absorbed to revive Yunji and the others, and with the help of Shenba, she removed her severed leg from the trident and reattached it to her body.

"It's time for you to leave this cage."

Before Ye Di could finish speaking, it had already swung its tail, "whipping" all the unprepared people into the medium channel.

After taking one last look at the trident, Ye Di urinated on it before leaping into the medium tunnel and disappearing from sight.

When the group emerged from the other end of the medium's passage, they found themselves back on the sea.

Looking around, everyone immediately saw the little princess of mist shadow who had just been pulled up by Mr. Senfa, and heard the exclamations of many captains of the Brotherhood fleet around them - where is the ship's core!

"This is."

Still somewhat confused, Cheng Lang looked around blankly. Poseidon in her Valkyrie form had disappeared, and besides Yun Ji and the others, there were also a large number of mermaid eggs floating around.

"This is a long-standing conspiracy."

After failing to summon Thorns, Yun Lan said, "But the final step will probably be completed by Xin Weng."

"What are you talking about?" Cheng Lang asked blankly, still in a state of confusion.

Meanwhile, in the savage island temple where Cheng Lang first arrived in this world, the Abyss Nightmare, already the size of a rudder, gently opened its thick shell.

“Poseidon, you have finally escaped into this inconspicuous body. We have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Panini used his tentacles to curl up the Abyss, saying, "We can't kill the Abyss, but we have a way to keep it closed forever."

"You guys."

"Wait until you can break free from my control before you spout this nonsense."

As Panini spoke, he used his body, which was countless times smaller, to tightly bind the Abyss Nightmare.

“Old friend, it’s your turn,” Panini said finally.

"My pleasure"

Before the island-swallowing creature could finish speaking, it had already swallowed the panini and begun to retract its tortoise shell.

Finally, when the once enormous tortoise shell shrank to the size of an eyeball, the island-devouring creature also retracted its body into its shell.

"Let me complete the final sealing step."

Shen Wei picked up the tortoise shell while talking to himself, and wrapped it with layer after layer of dazzling brilliance, eventually turning it into a transparent pearl.

A moment later, Shen Wei transformed into a seashell, not much larger than the palm of his hand, and enveloped the pearl. He then allowed Xin Weng, who was waiting nearby, to grab the seashell and fly away from the Sea of ​​Despair, heading towards Iron Oak Island.
