Nearl, who had once again stunned the giant sea creature, came to Zhou Si's side and asked about his plans.
"I have an idea that might require your help."
"Please speak, Rosemary and I will cooperate with you."
Zhou Si was somewhat surprised by Lin Guang's cooperation, but he didn't bother to ask any further questions. It was good that they had no objections.
"I need you to help me temporarily restrain this sea creature from the outside. I need to find a way to get close to it and find its core."
The number of sea creatures in this city is clearly not something they can handle in a short time, and the extra limbs like wings are taking a toll on him more than he imagined. He is not sure how long he can maintain this state.
"understood."
The Radiant Knight raised her sword and spear once more. She did not question Zhou Si's plan. This reliable knight would do her best to hold back the behemoth. The Originium Arts passed down by the Nearl family flashed again, and a 'sun' suddenly appeared in the dim sky. This sun resolutely rushed towards the giant sea monster.
“I will help you clear away the sea creatures along the way.”
The seemingly frail girl from the film industry also walked over. She stared blankly at Zhou Si—the wings behind him, her indigo pupils filled with curiosity. She had never seen a winged creature before.
With the help of Lin Guang and Rosemary, Zhou Si stopped considering anything else and flew straight towards the giant sea creature.
Hundreds of bio-drones, like floating sea creatures, spat out water blades like arrows at Zhou Si. However, these water blades were suddenly blocked by an invisible 'wall' during their flight. Four heavy swords followed closely behind and shredded the floating creatures into pieces.
Zhou Si was momentarily stunned, but then rushed toward the giant sea creature's body at an even faster speed. The giant tentacles were blocked by the golden pegasus, and Rosemary's greatsword cleared the obstacles in front of him. This allowed Zhou Si to reach the giant sea creature with almost no energy expenditure, simply by flapping his wings a few times.
Looking at the massive Hai Si before him, which resembled a small mountain, Zhou Si sheathed his shield and axe. Now was the time for him to verify something.
Dark blue scales gradually climbed onto Zhou Si's body, and all the cells in her body began to transform in the direction of Hai Si. This was the first time Zhou Si had transformed herself into a complete Hai Si.
As his body changed, the sea monsters around him, who were preparing to attack him, suddenly seemed to lose their target. In the darkness, several voices rang in Zhou Si's mind.
A voice, unwavering and as deep as a mountain, told Zhou Si, 'Young child, you are never alone; the flock is with you.'
A voice was omnipresent, yet faint; its intermittent tone echoed in my ears: 'Evolution...the price...'
A voice went mad, filled with boundless rage.
The last voice seemed to fall silent, but Zhou Si could still sense its presence.
The calls of the newborns echoed in Zhou Si's mind. To be honest, the situation was much better than he had imagined. Perhaps it was because his invincible environmental adaptability had come into play again, but these calls of the sea gods were only a little annoying and did not have much of an impact on Zhou Si.
These clamorous sounds were trying to call Zhou Si back to the embrace of the group, but Zhou Si clearly wouldn't grant their wish. Ignoring the sounds, Zhou Si turned his attention back to the sea monster in front of him.
"Church of the Deep Sea..."
The anger in Zhou Si's voice was clearly visible; he had fully grasped the truth about the giant sea creature.
The sea monster before them was not an independent entity, but a cluster of countless tiny consciousnesses. They formed a large group within the sea monster, and without exception, all of these tiny consciousnesses were humans who had been transformed into sea monsters.
After a lifetime of research, Bishop Tulas finally discovered the truth about the horde. He was fascinated by their perfect collective consciousness. Compared to humans, inefficient creatures connected by interests, the Hai Si were undoubtedly the perfect species in his mind.
Now that Hai Si has come ashore, the entire city's inhabitants have become its test subjects. Under Tulas's manipulation, Hai Si cells have not only altered their bodies but also taken control of their consciousness.
This consciousness cluster, which Zhou Si called 'small group,' was the result of his research. The death of the First Speaker meant that there was no one else in the vicinity who could compete with him for the 'first birth position.' The First Speaker's last voice only awakened the fighting instincts of the Sealings in the city, while Tulas was the culprit who transformed them.
And it will act as the 'newborn' of the 'small group', leading those sea creatures it transforms into new clusters.
"She is indeed a virgin."
The actions of these Deep Sea Cultists always challenged the limits of humanity. Zhou Si withdrew from his Sealing form, and the call of nascent life gradually subsided. The surrounding Sealings began to stir again.
He looked at the center of the giant sea creature's abdomen, which was the core of the sea creature. Although Tulas verbally advocated the perfect cluster system of the large group, he still placed himself at the top of the 'small group'.
This arrogance also left it with its greatest weakness: as long as the central consciousness called Tulas is killed, this so-called 'small group' will collapse directly, and the sea creatures that Tulas regards as mobile biological matter will be unable to take its place.
The wings belonging to the overlord of the sky once again brought Zhou Si back to Rosemary's side. Nearl was still fighting the sea monster, but she wore an earpiece that allowed her to communicate with Rosemary.
Zhou Si told the two of his findings, pointing to the red area marked by the dyed jade and speaking loudly.
"Destroy its core!"

Meanwhile, after an unknown amount of time, Elena finally woke up from her coma. She looked around blankly and found herself lying in the back seat of a transport truck. Matthew immediately came over when he saw Elena wake up.
"Sister Elena, are you feeling alright?"
"Where is this?"
"We were already quite a distance from Primia in the evacuation vehicle."
Matthew pointed to the distance outside the car window. By this time, the evacuation convoy had driven quite a distance, and Eleanor could only barely make out the outline of Primia.
"Where is Judge Wayne?"
"My uncle is badly injured and is in the car over there."
Wayne's injuries were far more severe than just serious; his body had become over 70% anaphylactic. The accompanying doctor had given him a large dose of sedatives to ensure he wouldn't suddenly wake up.
Elena moved her body with some difficulty. She felt something burning her body. When she took it out, she found it was the scale that Matthew had given her earlier. Not only that, she also seemed to vaguely hear a roaring sound coming from high above.
The little bird instinctively peeked out and looked at the sky, and what she saw shocked her.
A crimson comet, seemingly burning brightly, streaked across their heads, its trajectory pointing directly towards the nearby city of Pramia.
Chapter Fifteen: The Fall of the Crimson Star (4000-word chapter)
The Great Tranquility is the greatest scar etched into Iberian history. Its arrival sealed Iberia's fate as the self-proclaimed conquerors of the sea, plunging it into decline and destroying the pride of all Iberians.
However, the stillness itself is a phenomenon that accompanies advanced Sea-Child individuals. At this time, all the sounds in the world cover the invisible 'song' of that Sea-Child, so the appearance of the Great Stillness also symbolizes the activity of powerful Sea-Child individuals in the surrounding area.
The giant sea creature in front of Zhou Si and his companions was undoubtedly capable of causing the Tranquility Phenomenon. Its massive body, as large as a small mountain, wielded huge tentacles, and a huge waterspout indiscriminately destroyed everything around it. At this moment, the central area of this mobile city had already been leveled by Zhou Si and his companions' battle.
But at that very moment, the tranquility was shattered.
The noisy ambient sounds returned to their ears, and Zhou Si and his group, who were preparing to launch the next wave of attacks, were interrupted by this sudden change. This giant sea creature was extremely intelligent, not only able to move Tulas's location at will, but also able to use the lower-level sea creatures around it to take the hits for it.
That's why Zhou Si and his two companions haven't been able to take down this giant sea creature yet, but as the number of surrounding sea creatures continues to decrease, breaking through its core is only a matter of time.
But this change made them hesitate. Was it because their attack had broken the silence, or because something else had happened?
But such doubts lasted for less than a few dozen seconds, because they also saw the red line streaking across the sky and the comet burning with crimson flames!
The edge of the sky seemed to have been torn open, the thick clouds were instantly blown away, and a red comet in the distant sky, trailing a long, fiery tail, hurtled toward them at an extremely terrifying speed.
The roar of Hai Si gradually faded away, replaced by the sonic boom of the comet streaking across the sky. Wasn't this a kind of great tranquility?
Rosemary had already covered her ears in discomfort, and Zhou Si quickly handed them the soundproof beads provided by the guild. However, their goal at this point was no longer to find the core of the giant sea creature and kill it.
As Zhou Si watched the increasingly close trajectory, he was 100% certain that the [Crimson Comet] was heading straight for them.
"Run!"
Zhou Si only had time to shout in the direction of Lin Guang before picking up Rosemary and flying out of the moving city at top speed.
Nearl clearly realized that the trajectory of the [Crimson Comet] was heading towards them. Almost the instant Zhou Si reminded him, he sheathed his sword and spear and began to flee the moving city at full speed, while Rosemary obediently nestled in Zhou Si's arms.
At this very moment, the crimson comet was less than 500 kilometers away from the city.
500 kilometers may sound like a very long distance, but in reality, for this comet traveling at Mach 20, Zhou Si and his team had only 1 minute and 13 seconds left to escape.
That 1 minute and 13 seconds was not enough time for Zhou Si and his group to escape the mobile city.
Moreover, the giant sea creature still seemed unaware of the threat above the sky and stubbornly wanted to crush the three 'insects' that were opposing it.
Despite Hai Siqun's obstruction, Zhou Si and Margaret barely made it to the edge of the mobile city. Zhou Si subconsciously looked up and met the eyes of the Silverwing Fiend Star several kilometers away.
A scorching, lava-like current of air swirled around the silver dragon's entire body, strange patterns appeared on its surface, and unidentified red and black crystals sprouted from the edges of its silver scales. The energy emanating from the dragon's breath nozzles at the ends of its wings left a trail of crimson flames hundreds of meters long in the clouds.
The vertical pupils of the Sky Comet were filled with violent emotions. Zhou Si couldn't connect it with the word "cowardly" in the silver-haired girl's quest description, but at this moment he did feel the oppressive feeling of an ancient dragon.
The very next second after Zhou Si and Tian Huilong locked eyes...
The comet has fallen.
The moment the red comet fell, the whole world seemed to be put on pause.
The air first seemed to freeze eerily, then suddenly boil over. The Sky Comet's wingtips, constricted like spears, tore through the clouds, carrying dragon energy powerful enough to melt rocks as it crashed into the earth. The silence for that moment was like an illusion—until the sonic boom materialized into a sharp cone that pierced eardrums, and a visible crimson ring of energy exploded from the point of impact.
The giant sea creature located at the center of the crash site, along with the landmass of the mobile city, disappeared. The heat wave, carrying the smell of sulfur, spread rapidly, blowing away those sea creatures that were a little further away, and the crimson dragon energy that followed directly turned them into nothingness.
Zhou Si moved the shield that was blocking him and Rosemary's path. The hellish scene before them was just as shattered as their worldview. The legacy of the Iberian Golden Age had been completely destroyed, leaving only a charred crater several kilometers in diameter.
Right in the very center of that deep pit, the Silverwing Ominous Star was swallowing the giant sea creature that was now reduced to a few pieces.
At this moment, Zhou Si finally couldn't help but take out her phone and send a message to the silver-haired girl.
Let me eat first: [I'm fighting the Sky Comet Dragon? Really?]
Silver-haired beauty: [Go for it! I believe in you~]
"What kind of monster is this...?"
Lin Guang's voice was somewhat low, and Zhou Si could hear the bewilderment in her tone. The monster called Sky Comet had greatly impacted the worldview of this native of Terra.
The Sky Comet is an ancient dragon with clear records in the guild. Its most distinctive features are its spear wings used for flight and attack, and its organs that can convert atmospheric energy into dragon energy. The combination of these two features gives the Sky Comet unparalleled flight capabilities.
If we only consider flight, then even the legendary forbidden monsters cannot compare to it.
But it wasn't just Lin Guang that was affected. Zhou Si looked at the red and black crystals flowing like lava on its body, and its wings that never stopped releasing dragon energy.
Clearly, this Sky Comet Dragon has also begun to grow wildly after arriving on Terra. Unlike the previous Tigrex, it was not defeated by Zhou Si and Ai Li shortly after landing.
Given its mobility and combat capabilities, unless someone is foolish enough to crash into a star pod, Zhou Si has no idea who could capture it.
After a long period of development, the power of this comet was clearly far beyond what was recorded in the records.
Have you gained new power? Haji Hui, you bastard.
To be honest, Zhou Si was not confident of defeating it at this time. After all, this was the first time he had ever truly faced an ancient dragon. In the New World, he had basically only observed it from afar.
Back then, seeing that little mute guy casually defeat several Elder Dragons in a row, he naively thought that Elder Dragons were only slightly stronger than ordinary map bosses.
But the earth-shattering scene just now really gave Zhou Si a little bit of a shock from Gu Long.
"call..."
Zhou Si regulated her somewhat rapid breathing and regained her composure.
Although his awe of the ancient dragon grew stronger, he did not lose his fighting spirit. The Sky Comet Dragon probably could not use such an attack indefinitely, and he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.
After all, Zhou Si had no way to restrict its flight, and if he couldn't do that, even if Zhou Si could defeat the Sky Comet Dragon, he wouldn't be able to stop it from escaping.
He couldn't catch up with a Dragon Aura fighter jet that could cruise at Mach 20.
Unless the organ that converts dragon energy can be destroyed, Zhou Si's gaze fell on the chest of the Heavenly Comet Dragon, where the organ Zhou Si was referring to was located.
"You want to fight it?"
Lin Guang, who was standing nearby, noticed Zhou Si's gaze and asked her somewhat seriously.
She wasn't questioning Zhou Si's strength; his recent battle with Hai Si had already proven him to be an outstanding warrior.
But the silver monster was clearly more terrifying than the giant sea monster, and neither of them were in good condition. Nearl had noticed long ago that as time went on, the power of Zhou Si's flames and lightning was getting weaker and weaker.
"If it gets away this time, who knows when we'll catch it again."
Zhou Si picked up his shield and axe and stood up from the ground. When he saw Lin Guang raise her sword and spear again, he quickly stopped her.
Zhou Si looked helplessly at Lin Guang's slightly trembling right hand. This girl was too honest; she really went for it when something happened.
Even if she were a Pegasus, she couldn't withstand such a long and intense battle. Moreover, the Heavenly Comet Dragon's attacks were no joke. In her current state, Zhou Si was afraid that she would be instantly killed by the Huihui Dragon's Qi Cannon.
"You take the rosemary and go first."
Zhou Si pressed her hand down and shook her head.
"You're in no condition to fight right now, and Rosemary needs your protection."
Rosemary already had severe symptoms of Oripathy, and coupled with her intense use of Originium Arts, she collapsed to the ground in pain.
Her greatsword was also destroyed by Huihui's attack. Leaving Rosemary here alone would be tantamount to sending her to her death.
The upright Pegasus was eventually persuaded by the little dragon man. She picked up Rosemary in a princess carry and then took out a communicator from her pocket.
Zhou Si didn't take it. Instead, she bought a cell phone from the Hunter's Book shop and threw it into Nearl's hands.
This thing is much better than their communicators. The Hunter's Book brand phone has a signal even across the world. It's far more advanced than their old-fashioned communicators.
Watching Nearl and the others leave, Zhou Si sighed, patted the battle-worn Hope Set, and switched to the Thunder Set from the warehouse, while still choosing the Shesa Charge Blade as her weapon.
Demon Man Set, Endurance Set, Speed-Up Drug, Portable Food...
Zhou Si consumed almost all the items in his item bag that could enhance his abilities, then used the Thunder Flute to activate the buffs, and finally, after putting an ancient elixir in his mouth, Zhou Si, dressed in a brilliant gold outfit, walked towards the huge crater.
This was the first time he had made such thorough preparations; he had never used to sprinkle powder when the caged bird asked him to.
