Transmigrated into Conan, his ability is Rhodes Island
Chapter 54 The Corrupted Heart
Akihara Kazuhiro just requested the system to remove the special effects when Tsurugi Skadi appeared, otherwise it would be too eye-catching.
The system only subtly told him that this effect couldn't be removed, but it could help move the special effect further away, such as to the distant sea surface, so that he himself wouldn't look so conspicuous.
And so the scene just now unfolded. Everyone was stunned by the miraculous "special effects." They stopped eating and fighting, and just stood there, staring blankly at the sky and then gazing at the sea.
Akihara gritted his teeth, his resolve to file a complaint against the system hardened. However, this matter could only be discussed later; he couldn't worry about it now, because the instant Skadi's ability took effect, he felt every cell in his body jubilant, as if another consciousness had entered his body, and that consciousness was genuinely delighted to finally merge with him.
“I’ve been waiting for you, Doctor… I’ve waited for you for so long, so long, I’ve even forgotten why I was waiting for you here… But none of that matters anymore. Finally, finally we can become one…” A clear female voice echoed in his mind.
It is Skadi... or rather, "something that looks a lot like Skadi". Its appearance and memories are exactly the same as those of the operator Skadi, but it is definitely not Skadi herself.
Operator Skadi was once a bounty hunter who traversed the Terra continent carrying a greatsword, and was later hired by Rhodes Island. In one of the countless parallel timelines that corresponds to the timeline where the Doctor once existed, Isamara, one of the four gods who guided the Sea Heirs, awakens within Skadi, unleashing a catastrophe no less devastating than the Tranquil Era in the Water Moon Integrated Strategy.
In this "if" scenario, Rhodes Island is destroyed, Amiya and Kal'tsit, as its leaders, die in battle, and he is forced to "live together" with Skadi, the mastermind behind all of this.
The reason the phrase "depending on each other for survival" is in quotation marks is because he constantly thinks about killing Him. He calls Him "Turbid Heart" and never acknowledges that He and Skadi are the same person. Turbid Heart Skadi, in turn, constantly tries to assimilate Him into her own blood relative, namely, Heinrich.
Now, in a sense, He has finally gotten what He wanted.
Isamara's divinity gradually eroded Akihara's humanity. He felt his thoughts gradually dissipating, replaced by a cold indifference that looked down upon all things.
"Finally... only you and I are left. What are you still refusing for... become my blood relative, Doctor." The female voice was still murmuring to herself in Akihara's mind.
"Shut up." Akihara's voice was cold and flat, as if he were talking to a stranger.
In his mind, the system stared dumbfounded at the white-haired, red-clad woman who had suddenly appeared. It couldn't help but swallow nervously and moved its small stool a little further away from her.
After Qiu Yuan told her to "shut up," the woman really stopped talking, her eyes filled with sorrow, and she slumped to the ground.
The system blinked, sensing it needed to say something. Hesitantly, it retrieved a bag of potato chips from its snack stash, sidled over, and handed it to the woman.
"Here...here you eat, don't be sad."
……
After scolding Skadi, the turbid heart within him, Akihara gradually regained consciousness, and the sanity-restoring agent he had placed in his mouth beforehand also took effect.
He remembered his purpose and strode forward.
During this time, he signaled to the surrounding sea creatures to stop fighting and attacking, so both the sea creatures and the mutated humans remained standing still.
At that moment, his consciousness expanded, and he heard the voices of his companions, the doubts emanating from the large group. He then released his pheromones as Isamara, and the Sea Heirs quickly quieted down.
At this moment, the great group is not me, and I am the great group.
He used his consciousness to ask the swarm where they came from. The swarm pondered and said that hundreds of years ago they suddenly awoke and appeared on the seabed of this world. The swarm, which was like a blank sheet of paper, has been living and multiplying here ever since.
However, lacking the guidance of "newborns," they live in a daze.
Without the "primordial lifeline," the sea creatures cease their instinct for survival and stop their activities of transforming the environment; without "spreading branches," they struggle to grow individually and adapt to their environment; without the "corrupting heart," they lose their direction of exploration, cease their endless struggles, and stop expelling any threats; without the "unmelting iceberg," deprived of nourishment and resources, their rate of evolution and iteration slows down...
This predicament was resolved a month ago. Humans captured the first Sealing, devoured its flesh and blood, became part of the swarm, and contributed their thoughts and desires to the swarm.
Thus, the multitude gained wisdom, began to contemplate, and prepared to choose its own god by continuing to devour human wisdom. And at this critical juncture, the nascent "Corrupted Heart," Isamara, who now appears as Akihara Kazuhiro, led their struggle.
Akihara's doubts were somewhat resolved, but questions still troubled him. For example, how did the Sea Heirs appear in this world hundreds of years ago? Why were there ancient records of them? And how did the image of Isamara, the goddess of war, from those ancient books come to be?
As he pondered, he approached the coastal cliffs filled with mutated humans. Takenaka Koichi, his face filled with fanaticism and piety, staggered a few steps, knelt down before Akihara, and humbly prayed while touching his face to the ground as if facing a statue of a god.
"Great God of Struggle! Great Isamara! Your faithful servant has been waiting for your arrival..." Takenaka Koichi loudly proclaimed his loyalty.
Instead of receiving his god's favor, he felt a sharp pain in his head. He looked up in astonishment to see a young offspring missing a tentacle attacking him frantically. It lashed out with its tentacles and gnawed at his head with the suckers on its tentacles, while his god looked down at the young offspring.
When Yuji realized that his attack had no effect, he stood there for a moment in a daze, then skillfully stretched out his tentacles and climbed up Akihara's trouser leg, and consciously wrapped himself in his hand, and began to communicate with him on a spiritual level.
Takenaka Koichi, who was still kneeling on the ground, saw a slight ripple appear on the indifferent face of his god.
Then his god finally spared a glance, landing on him. The god spoke, his tone as calm as still water. "You mean, this large group of monsters killed our compatriots, killed your father... they are a large group of enemies."
Takenaka Koichi's fanatical expression froze on his face; he was terrified and trembled all over. The instant his divine words fell, hundreds upon hundreds of emotionless eyes locked onto him, and he felt a massive... hostility emanating from the crowd.
