Secret World: I Became a God Through Lies

Chapter 78: Chasing the Dream
"The storm is merciless, the waves are fearless."

"But we're crazier than them!"

The Lost One rushed forward in the raging waves of the storm, its sails filled with the strong wind.
The black ghost sails were so taut that they seemed to be torn apart at any moment, and the entire ship was like a monster that had broken free from its restraints, speeding on the raging waves!

"Everyone, hold on tight--!!" Alison's voice was nearly drowned out by the storm, but everyone heard it.

Ian clung to the mast tightly, the strong wind whispering in his ears, his body almost hanging in the air, and could be swept away at any time.

But his eyes were still fixed on the front, his hands tightly gripping the cable, and his whole body seemed to be integrated with the storm.

He murmured softly, as if talking to the wind, and the wind actually responded to him, like a loyal comrade, turning into an invisible force.

He spread his guidance to the entire sky—the wind direction shifted subtly, like an invisible blade, pushing the Lost's speed to its limit!

Rex stood on the commanding heights, took a deep breath, and pressed his eyes hard with his right hand.

"The banshee who glimpses fate—wake up!"

The ocean-blue monocle lens instantly glowed with a faint light, like an eye peering into the future. In an instant, his vision became incredibly slow.
The rise and fall of the waves, the flow of the wind, the trajectory of raindrops, everything becomes clearly visible.

But each ability only lasts five seconds.

"Captain! Get ready for the first wave!" Rex's voice burst out in the storm and reached Calvino's ears with incredible precision.

Calvino gripped the rudder tightly, veins bulged on his forehead, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the wounds on his hands had already oozed blood, but he still clenched his grip tightly, not allowing the slightest deviation.

"Got it." He responded in a low voice, his voice revealing the wildness and tenacity unique to pirates.

The speed of the Lost suddenly increased!

The wind, carrying thunder, roared and hit the black sails, and the whole ship rushed forward.
The violent acceleration threw the undead pirates on the deck away!

"Haha! Get down here!" Baroque laughed wildly and kicked away a climbing undead. Its body spun in the wind and was swallowed by the surging waves.

The other undead souls scattered and fell like rag bags in the roar of the storm, disappearing into the dark abyss.

Siming tied himself to the railing with a rope, his eyes swept over the flying undead, and he whistled softly.

The special spinning card in his hand flew in the storm, accurately cutting the throat of the last undead.

"You can actually use your speed to shake them off?" He couldn't help but laugh. "That's an interesting tactic."

Alison quickly put the flintlock back to her waist, reached out and grabbed a cable, and quickly wrapped it around her waist to secure it.

Her eyes, sharp as a blade, swept over the crew - everyone was looking for a foothold, preparing to take the wildest leap of their pirate career.

"Everyone! Secure yourselves!" Alison ordered decisively.

The ghost crew members sprang into action, their shadows clinging to the cables and masts. Although their forms were illusive, their silent and precise movements filled everyone with awe.

"The storm is still accelerating, we only have one chance!" Rex's monocle reflected a faint blue light, and his voice was unquestionable, cold and accurate.

——Four seconds!
"Captain! Five degrees left!"

Calvino gritted his teeth and twisted the rudder violently. His hands had begun to tremble and the wounds were bleeding, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife and he would not allow any deviation at all.

——Three seconds!
"Ian! The wind speed is increasing!" Rex shouted.

Ian stood at the top of the mast, the storm raging under his feet, the strong wind almost tore him apart, but he just smiled arrogantly and rode the wind.

The card once again burst into a dazzling blue light in the storm. The sea breeze suddenly surged, and violent vortexes formed in the air.

An invisible force rushed towards the sails, causing the Lost to accelerate once again!
"Ride the wind—show the sea god we are wilder than he imagines!"

Ian's voice echoed in the storm, as if even the sea god heard his arrogant oath!

The next moment, the storm exploded!

An invisible hurricane suddenly poured down, the rain in the air was torn into water mist, the black ghost sails expanded violently, and the Lost One rushed to the top of the waves like a crossbow arrow that had been broken free from its restraints!
——Two seconds!
Rex's monocle captured the devastating tsunami. His eyes reflected the huge waves as tall as the sky, and the shadow of death was slowly enveloping them!
"Captain! Raise the angle! Head straight for the huge waves!!" Rex's voice was deafening!
Calvino suddenly looked up, with a hint of madness in his eyes. He twisted his hand suddenly, and the rudder shook violently!

——One second!
The Lost One rushed towards the huge waves!

The dark waves rolled, the sea rushed under their feet, the waves roared and hit the hull, the water turned into blades,
The whole world seemed to be shaking, hacking at everything on the deck. The huge waves were like a collapsed mountain, rushing towards them madly!

The wind howled, the thunder roared, the remains of the undead were thrown into the bottomless abyss, and the Lost, in this destruction of heaven and earth, leaped over the waves at full speed!
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched at this moment——

Everyone held their breath and clung to the ropes and masts.
Even the shadows of the ghostly crew members clung to the hull, their eyes reflecting the light and shadow of the waves—

They are breaking through the cage of fate!

The Lost, riding on the tsunami of destruction, faces the raging waves of fate!
The Lost One rushed into the shadow of the tsunami!

The world seemed to be turned upside down, and the huge waves were like the collapsing sky, swallowing up the entire sea. The dark tide rolled in the sky.
Like an invisible wall of death, it completely enveloped their route. The air was filled with a violent roar, a salty smell mixed with moisture, and the storm shrieked like the low hum of a nightmare.

But they did not retreat, they did not stop - they wanted to go upstream and climb the wave of destiny!

The sails were completely filled by the strong wind, the whole ship let out a dull wail, the mast shook violently, and the ropes were as tight as bowstrings, as if they would break in the next second.

But no one hesitated. Their blood was burning and their fighting spirit was boiling. They wanted to break through this natural barrier and leave their names in this forbidden sea!
"Three seconds!" Rex's voice pierced through the storm, booming throughout the ship. This was the second time he had activated a secret in such a short period of time!
Ian's face was pale. He could feel the storm reaching its limit. His chest seemed to be squeezed and he had difficulty breathing.

But he did not hesitate, he bit his tongue hard, burning the last bit of sanity in exchange for the maximum power of the storm!
The raging wind surged like an angry dragon, distorting the entire space. The sails suddenly expanded, and the speed of the Lost increased instantly!

"Two seconds!" Rex's monocle shone with a faint blue light, accurately capturing the movement of the waves.

Calvino gritted his teeth, his knuckles completely cracked, his palms torn by the friction of the rudder.
Blood flowed down the tiller, but he still held it tightly, not allowing any deviation.

“One second!!”

"Everyone - hold on!!!" Alison roared, and everyone held on to the ropes tightly, holding on to the support points of the deck, their bodies tensed, ready to go!
The bow of the ship suddenly lifted up, and the Lost was like a giant beast pushed into the sky by the strong wind, galloping above the waves!
The tide rolls, the storm roars, the world seems to be overturning, but they are climbing up!
Ten meters to go——

Five meters——

Three meters——!!

——One meter!!

boom! ! !
The Lost One leaps onto the crest of the tsunami wave!
The ship glided across the waves, like a giant whale breaking free from its shackles, leaping into the air, its black ghostly sails rustling in the strong wind.

Thunder illuminated their figures, the sea poured down beneath their feet, and the entire world seemed to freeze at this moment—

They jumped out of the abyss of fate!
Siming opened his eyes wide, as if he had touched the clouds, feeling an indescribable sense of weightlessness.
It is a kind of arrogance and excitement to conquer nature, a kind of fearlessness to throw life and death behind.

The Lost One cut through the waves and slammed heavily into the sea on the other side!

Amidst a loud bang, waves splashed, winds swirled, the deck shook violently, everyone was almost thrown out, and the hull slammed heavily into the embrace of the waves!
But they - survived!
Everyone on the deck was breathing heavily, soaked to the skin, their clothes clinging to their skin.
Their fingers turned white from excessive force and their knuckles were stiff, but there was a fanatical gleam in their eyes!
They won, they defeated the tsunami!

Calvino slowly let go of the rudder, his palms bloody and bruised, he looked at his red palms,

A conceited smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he murmured softly: "Haha... Hahahaha——!!"

The laughter grew louder and more arrogant. He suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, and the sound echoed in the silence after the storm.

"Tell the Dream Sea that we are still alive!!"

Ian slumped on the mast, gasping for breath, the veins on his forehead throbbing from excessive exertion, his whole body almost exhausted, but a smile still lingered on the corners of his mouth.

Rex lowered his head, put away his monocle, exhaled lightly, and said in a low voice: "...a perfect leap."

Alison looked around and confirmed that everyone was alive. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and chuckled softly, "A bunch of crazy people...but I like it."

Baroque laughed loudly and lay on the deck, throwing away the throwing axe in his hand.

Like a demon that had just crawled out of hell, he roared, "I never thought I could ride the waves like this!"

Siming leaned against the railing, wiped the rain from his forehead, and cursed in a low voice: "You are really crazy...you bunch of lunatics."

Everyone was laughing, with the wildness and exhilaration of surviving a disaster. They defeated fate in a pirate way and conquered the wrath of the Sea of ​​Dreams!
however--

Just when everyone thought the nightmare was over——

Deep in the sea, a faint blue light slowly emerged.

The tide in the distance suddenly stopped surging, and the sea became eerily calm, as if even the nightmare had held its breath.

Then, they saw a huge figure slowly rising from the seabed—

The dark water was pushed aside, revealing a skeleton arm covered with moss and barnacles, its surface mottled with scars.

The tentacles were covered with tattered ghost canvas, like some ancient sunken monster that had reawakened.

The entire sea area was shrouded in shadow.

The outline of the huge monster is slowly emerging.

It has no eyes, but everyone can feel its invisible gaze - the judgment from the abyss of nightmare!

The Lost One successfully jumped the waves!

But the new test has just begun!
