Strength 99999 but the Holy Sister

Tricia narrowed her eyes slightly.

"You agree?"

"Of course I agree—I know what you want to say, but I'm telling you, I have to do this." Hayes opened his eyes and looked directly at Tricia. Perhaps recalling the unpleasantness he had with the Holy See, he looked a little agitated. "The Holy See was unjust first! They were aggressive, not only forcing our tribe to hand over the sacred artifacts of the Sea Clan, but also attempting to lay hands on our sacred land. They've crossed the line! I'm the King of the Sea Clan, and I can't let the Sea Clan be bullied by you humans!"

Tricia wasn't angry at Hayes' attitude, she just shook her head.

"The Holy See will never covet your things."

Hayes did not deny it, and his tone calmed down. "Perhaps, you are right, but I absolutely cannot entrust the fate of my sea people to the hands of an outsider."

Elsa stared at Adele and couldn't get a word in.

She knew something about the history of this world, but not much, especially the things that happened between the Holy See and the sea people, which could be considered a secret between the two races.

Tricia didn't argue with Hayes and continued to ask: "So, why did you come out now?"

Hayes shook his head. "Originally, I should have descended here over forty years ago to cut off your naval fleet and become a storm barrier spanning the eastern and western continents. But then, I don't know what happened, they stopped the plan, and I fell into a deep sleep to preserve my strength until now."

When talking about this, Hayes was also a little annoyed - his return to the sea clan was delayed for decades for no reason.

Tricia suddenly asked, "Did Mingqis have a wound on his left arm at that time?"

"Yes." Hayes looked at Tricia strangely, "What do you mean?"

"That's what I left behind." Tricia smiled meaningfully. "A month later, the Demon King was killed in battle. A month later, the Demon King's army was completely defeated. We won—so the plan about you was shelved."

"Ah this?"

No. Hayes was stunned.

He actually didn't understand the full picture - after all, when he left the Sobron Valley, he was just a ghost that was about to disappear. He had always been awake less and asleep more. In fact, he was already very weak before coming to the Temple of Poseidon. If he didn't get the authority of the Temple of Poseidon to resurrect, it would not be long before he would completely disappear.

"So, now that you're resurrected, what are you going to do?" Aisha asked.

"Of course, let the current Sea King abdicate and let me take the throne!" Hayes said without hesitation.

"and then?"

"Make the Sea Clan great again!"

Elsa faintly heard: "Kick the Church with your feet, punch the elves, wear the crown of God on your head, enslave the dragons - you want to rule the world?"

"Eh? That's a great idea..."

No, Hayes just responded and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his face.

"I mean, there's no way!"

He answered sincerely.

Elsa looked at Adele, and Adele said, "He wouldn't even dream of doing something this beautiful."

"So what conditions did Aschero and Brucifer offer you this time?"

"No conditions, just that I should not let anyone go, except my people, of course."

He glanced awkwardly at Aisha and Tricia.

Aisha asked: "Didn't they think about what would happen if you couldn't win?"

"What a joke! The power of the Sea God is bestowed upon me, supreme power, coupled with my unparalleled wisdom, and yet..." He lost his composure after a second, staring at Elsa seriously, "Can you please give me some face?"

"I'm asking you seriously."

"No, I'm serious too - to be honest, who would have thought of this?" Hayes beat his chest and stamped his feet.

Aisha studied his expression. Hayes looked helpless, as if he had eaten a fly.

"Really not..." he repeated.

"Forget it, one last question, where did those vampires go?"

"I ate them." Hayes pointed to his heart and smiled dryly, "They are 'anyone' too, aren't they? I just feel a little disgusted."

……

When the Sea King - the Sea King of this generation, a middle-aged mermaid with a flabby tail, sunken eye sockets, a swollen face and a black brow, rushed into the temple with a group of sea creatures in a hurry, Elsa, Tricia and Becky had already left. Only Hayes and Mela were squatting in front of the throne. The two mermaids worked together to collect the fragments of the throne and pieced them together bit by bit.

But Hayes no longer had the cheerful expression he had when facing Elsa and Tricia just now. Instead, his expression was solemn and dignified. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment. He just repeated the mechanical splicing movements.

Mela looked a little miserable and reluctant.

This scene was seen by a group of sea creatures who had rushed over. They were immediately frightened to death. They also found that the originally solemn and majestic throne hall was now almost in ruins, with broken and collapsed pillars and cracked walls. No one knew what had happened here.

"How dare you disrespect the throne of God!"

The contemporary Sea King's voice was trembling as he pointed at the two mermaids in front of the throne.

Meera didn't respond.

But Hayes slowly turned around, and the aura of looking down on everyone slowly rose from him.

He narrowed his eyes and looked down at the sea creatures, and finally his gaze fell on the contemporary Sea Emperor who looked almost like a dried fish.

"You guys really disappoint me." He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "From now on, I am the emperor of the sea tribe. You can abdicate."

……

"Elsa, do you think it's possible? The demons will allow Hayes to return to the sea tribe just to deal with you, without leaving any other tricks or asking for any other benefits."

Outside the Temple of Poseidon, in a hidden corner, Tricia asked Aisha.

Aisha looked in the direction of the temple and remained silent.

"Besides, I think he's hiding something."

Elsa turned around and asked, "In front of Adele?"

Tricia shook her head: "He seized the authority of the Sea God Temple. In terms of godhood, Hayes is not inferior to Adele. If he wants to hide it, he can do it."

Aisha asked, "Should we stay and continue observing?"

Tricia looked at Aisha, "I want to hear your opinion."

"Me? I don't have any opinion. I don't know much about this," Elsa said. "Besides, if Bu Hayes is really one of the most famous sea kings in the history of the sea people as you said, then he is definitely not someone who can be seen through at a glance, and he will never easily reveal his flaws. But in other words, he will not harm the sea people. On the contrary, he may bring about different changes to the sea people. So instead of waiting here, we should just give it to time. Besides, I am more concerned about Aschero and Brucifa mentioned by that guy than Bu Hayes. Judging from the descriptions that Bu Hayes and Mela confirmed, they were also the ones who once led the Dammas incident."

"I understand," Tricia smiled, very much agreeing with Elsa's decision. "Then I will inform the Vatican about this matter, and they will send someone to negotiate and investigate."

"It's over, let's go."

"Ah."

Tricia smiled and took Aisha's hand.

"Speaking of which, Elsa, the King of Belmont Freya wants to see you. He has already arrived at the port of Bolmo."

"So sudden?" Elsa was stunned.

"After all, you are the greatest contributor to the destruction of the Undead Demon General and the designated Head of the Holy Sisters of this generation. This time, you also helped them resolve the sea storm that has been plaguing them. It is only natural that he, as the king, must come to see you."

"The day for the Dammas Church should be approaching, right?"

Elsa was still remembering what was happening at the Vatican. They had to return to the Dammas Church and then go to the Holy City together to attend the coronation ceremony of the Saint and the second round of selection of the Holy Sister. Of course, the latter only needed to be present at the end.

"Then I'll arrange the time."

"I want to take Charlie with me."

"no problem."

Aisha and Tricia were in front, while Becky was far behind, swimming slowly by herself. She was not a very good swimmer and looked a little funny.

She silently looked at the backs of Tricia and Aisha, and was unconsciously lost in thought.

"Can't you swim? You're so slow."

Suddenly, Adele appeared from beside her, scaring Becky so much that she almost choked on the sea water.

"Hmm... Gulu... My... Gulu... I'm not very good at it..."

Becky started blowing bubbles as soon as she opened her mouth. She really couldn't swim, but as a vampire, she wasn't worried about drowning.

Adele looked at Becky strangely, then as if she saw something, she moved closer and stared at Becky for a while, which made Becky feel uneasy. Until Adele suddenly said, "Becky, are you interested in Elsa?"

puff--

Becky's mouth and nose suddenly began to bubble like a boiling kettle, and she rushed over to cover Adele's mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about? There's no such thing as gurgling!"

Becky was at a loss.

First, she swore that she had absolutely no thoughts about Elsa - come on, Elsa was a nun, and she was a vampire, how could the two go together?

Second, she didn't want Elsa to hear Adele's nonsense. The thought of it was scary.

"Look how anxious you are." Adele easily broke free from Becky's restraints and looked at her with disdain. "Can you hide it from me? I know exactly what you are thinking right now, but if you ask me, don't be so anxious. Just because you think you don't like her, does that mean you really don't like her? I'm not bragging, but I can judge people much more accurately than they can judge themselves."

Adele's words left Becky stunned.

She looked at Adele in disbelief, then pointed at herself in fear and said, "I... treat Elsa... like that...?"

"of course."

Adele was determined.

Becky slowly put down her hand, looked up at the endless deep sea, her eyes unblinking.

She just felt like the sky was falling.

At this time, Adele spoke slowly: "So... woman, do you want to be Elsa's woman? I can help you."

Her words seemed like a kind of bewitchment.

"You also have Elsa's blood in your body, right? Maybe there will be more in the future, so... as long as you are willing to give birth to me—"

"Goodbye Gulu."

Before Adele could finish her words, Becky left without a word.

"Oh, what a hasty temper this person has!" Adele slapped her thigh vigorously, looking as if she had failed. "Elsa is still the best. She is worthy of being my mother."

……

"Failed."

Aschelo sighed, the light in her eyes faded, and she broke her control over the familiar.

But she already knew the final outcome of the matter.

In fact, when he saw the scene on the sea, Aschero was mentally prepared for this result - being able to suppress the Storm Hammer proved that Elsa's power was above the authority of the temple. So how could Hayes, who only wanted to seize the power of the temple, be Elsa's opponent?

Besides, Hayes also has his own selfish motives and would never give his all.

Then there is only one result.

At this time, the stormy sea area that had been howling all year round had completely stopped, the wind was calm, and the sky in the distance was already turning pale.

The night is passing and the day is coming.

"Brucifer, we have to leave as soon as possible." Aschorus turned around and was shocked to see Brucifer kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, his head held high, his hands raised to the sky, motionless, as if he was about to be purified by the holy light. Aschorus frowned at the sight, "What are you doing?"

"Princess, you really have the deity of a demon king!"

Brucifa praised without image.

Aschero glanced at Alessa who was standing in the distance with an embarrassed look on her face, and sighed.

She knew very well that Brucifer was actually a complete fanatic at heart. If necessary, Brucifer would sacrifice his life for the demons without complaint - and in a sense, it was this kind of person who was easier to control.

"Brucifer, don't spread the news about the princess."

Aschero looked at Brucifa and said.

"Of course! I understand."

Brucifa finally got up from the ground and said solemnly.

"Go ahead, arrange your people and head to the Far North. Hayes will place what we need there. Remember, you must be careful. Even if the mission fails, don't let yourself be targeted by that Aisha. She's terrifying and far beyond our ability to handle."

"Yes."

Brucifa thought for a moment and then spoke again.

"Speaking of which, what should we do with that mermaid?"

"Randall?" Ascherlo shook his head. "Let her be. She can't say more than Hayes. There's no need to waste effort to silence her."
