Deep Sea Hunter, but Deep Sea Titan

"Experience the raging waves of the sea."

The three monstrous shockwaves forced Bozokasti to crouch low and raise his shield to defend himself. Internal organ damage and crystallization occurred simultaneously, but the unattended altar was destroyed as a result, as if swept away by a tsunami.

"ocean."

"You are Iberian."

"Crew members? Sailors?"

Bozokas asked in bewilderment, "How can land dwellers not be awestruck by the vastness of the ocean?"

"It's just a bubble of the past."

Lotin was often mistaken for an Iberian, but he was no longer bothered by it.

He gave Bozocasti no chance to catch his breath. The giant anchor was thrown out, and the distance between the brass giant and the Wendigo rapidly shortened as the chains contracted. The brass giant became a whistling cannonball.

Even though Bozocas was ready to defend against the cavalry charge, he wasn't confident he could perfectly parry it; he had once used this technique to directly withstand the charge of the Silver Spear Pegasus.

The halberd nearly pierced the diving suit, but Lotin's movements remained unchanged. His health remained high. This diving suit, now part of the template, cannot be understood by ordinary standards.

This was a contest of strength and resilience. Lotin deliberately endured the damage, taking advantage of the moment when Bozokasti raised his shield to defend. The giant anchor fell, smashing into Bozokasti's unsuspecting head.

With a dull cracking sound, Wendigo's massive horn shattered under the immense pressure of the anchor and the energy emanating from it.

The Originium crystals instantly spread and proliferated along the broken edge of the horn, causing one horn to display two colors.

Although all the altars were destroyed by Lotin, Lotin could still sense the life being drained.

The Sarkaz's "cannibalism" ritual is exactly the same as the "bell ringer's" ritual, where Bozokasti himself becomes a casting unit as his crystallization level increases.

However, the passive effect of the Staff of Time, Eternity, will continue to convert damage into mana into health, and the holes in the diving suit will heal at an incredible speed.

"And what about the sea?"

"I will still march forward."

Wendigo charged again, his gunblade slicing through the air and taming the shockwave.

"We are both people trying to cut open the throat of fate."

"I regret that we had to try to cut the other person's throat before that."

The bronze giant roared and stomped onto the ground, and the ocean, following the will of the deep-sea titan, reappeared on the surface, a raging torrent composed purely of destructive energy.

Wendigo cleaved through the monstrous waves and crashed against the raging torrents; the tsunami, composed of three destructive energies, finally shattered the shield that had served him through countless battles.

“Iberians, you don’t understand. The demon king of the alien race, only she can kill me.”

Bozocaste's body had reached 80% Originium transformation, and chaotic red light and black lightning gathered on his body, unleashing the destructive power of Wendigo.

"Since you have chosen to resist fate, why care about the wizard's prophecy?"

In the original story, one of the reasons why Bozocasti was determined to fight to the death was the fulfillment of the prophecy that he would "die at the hands of the alien demon king".

He was, after all, a Sarkaz.

"you!"

Bozocasti had no idea where the brass ghost had learned of this prophecy.

The halberd was hurled, trailing a trail of destructive two-colored lightning. Lotin could have dodged it with Blink, but he decided to give the warrior the least he could do.

The Deep Sea Titan must confront them head-on.

"The ocean is boundless..."

This is the R skill [Deep Sea Impact]. The impact from the abyss is injected into the ground, which is slumping and pulsating, as if this were the ocean, with waves composed of destructive energy surging forth.

The ground is no longer the ground; it is no longer a solid.

The earth shook violently, and Wendigo's halberd attempted to cleave the monstrous waves once more, but this time, it failed.

The immense repulsive force caused the surrounding ruins to collapse a second time, leaving behind a cloud of dust.

As the dust settled, a black shadow fell from the sky.

The shockwave sent Bozokasti flying and shattered his halberd.

The shield shattered, the halberd broke, yet the enormous monster continued to rise and advance.

“Wendigo, you can’t even leave a permanent scar on my wetsuit.”

"Although I cannot exert my full strength because the land is dry."

"you lose."

The bronze giant looked down at the stiff Bozokasti.

"Rhodes Island was able to get my help for this reason alone."

Rhodes Island has no need to undergo your test.

The brass giant lowered the anchor; even if he didn't deliver the final blow, the Originium crystallization would kill him.

"Ask yourself honestly, do you consider yourself a traitor?"

The Deep Sea Titan asked again. The same question.

"I can no longer move."

"Bronze Ghost, if you are indeed the punisher of traitors, as the rumors say, why would you be willing to listen to my story?"

Lotin did not answer. In the instant he was knocked away, Bozocasti, who had never been to the ocean, seemed to see a bronze giant, towering like a lighthouse, standing amidst the rolling waves.

The waves washed away his sins, making Bozocasti feel powerless and insignificant. Seeing the true face of the deep-sea Titan made him realize the meaninglessness of his stubbornness.

Although the trial was not what Lotin intended, Bozokastie couldn't help but recall the remorse he carried.

He said he broke his promise to his wife and killed his son as a father.

Lotin knew about his past from the beginning, and this plot left a deep impression on him. Bozocas himself was also part of the tragedy.

"Your daughter is still alive. She is still fighting, paying for her mistakes."

Wendigo.

"If you're trying to get out of this mess through me or Rhodes Island, that's unfair to your daughter."

The brass giant placed down a bottle of scarlet potion.

"Since you believe the fighting cannot stop, then wash away your regrets in the struggle."

"Your self-blame compels you to seek a punishment for your remorse, but relief cannot punish you."

Wendigo reached for the red potion, but withdrew it midway. Crystallization was spreading across his body, and he didn't have much time left to choose. Reality had already told him that the prophecy was no longer accurate.

"Destroy it, destroy this integration movement. Your attempt to let it continue to be the banner of the infected is the true betrayal of the victims."

The bronze giant summoned his nun and the hunter, and the path to the sarcophagus was now unobstructed.

Rhodes Island's three squads were still advancing according to plan, but the Rhodes Island operators, who were being suppressed by the Sarkaz mercenary group's firepower, discovered a row of black shield walls at the street entrance.

Chapter 57: I still prefer the rebellious you.

Theoretically, killing Bozokasti should yield 400 gold, but since it's just a defeat, only two-thirds of that reward is given. The same applies to experience points. I bought a life potion for this heavily crystallized Wendigo, spending another 50 gold.

Similar to sandwich cookies, this can only stop and alleviate the symptoms of Oripathy, but cannot completely cure it.

However, the sufficient experience points still allowed Loting to level up to level 7. This time, he chose to upgrade his W skill to make his basic attack more effective.

The battles with Shadowguard and Bozokasti allowed Lotin to accumulate about 20 charges of Heart Steel, with about 15 of them being accumulated during the battles with Bozokasti.

If Lotin hadn't roughly calculated the number of times he'd fought this tough Wendigo by working backwards from the extra health provided by Heartsteel at the end of the battle, he wouldn't have remembered.

Before the battle with Borocaste, the Staff of Time stacks one layer every 6 hours. From the 32-hour countdown to the Chernobog collision at the start to the current 11-hour countdown, the stack has reached 8 layers. There are only 12 hours left to fully stack the stack and obtain the reward of directly leveling up.

If we reach level 8, the system might announce or preview some new features. After all, the system offers the opportunity to reselect runes at level 4. Of course, this is just Loting's speculation.

You don't know what color toothpaste is until you squeeze it out.

Aside from the basic stats, [Heart of Steel] provides Lotin with at least 1000 health points.

Judging from Laurentina's scrutinizing gaze, Lotin confirmed that the size increase brought about by [Heart Steel] had taken effect, indicating that the size increase effect of [Heart Steel] had initially taken effect.

"Hmm, it seems like he's grown 12 centimeters taller."

Laurentina slid her fingertips, looking Lotin up and down. Her past experience studying sculpture gave her considerable expertise in estimating length.

"Uh, shark, you actually care about this kind of thing?"

Without deliberate comparison, a 12-centimeter difference isn't particularly noticeable for a 4-meter-tall bronze giant. Skadi found Laurentina's focus incomprehensible.

In particular, this 12-centimeter change is a uniform overall scaling.

"Of course, I know every part of Nautilus inside and out."

"Including things you've never seen before."

Laurentina seems very proud of this.

Loting thought that this probably referred to the mad nun peeking into his memories in the Originium solution and seeing what he looked like when he was still a sailor.

After all, he had only ever taken off his helmet in front of Skadi.

The sarcophagus, located in the same place that powers Chernobog, is a pre-civilized, probably home-use, physiological repair device.

A nuclear-powered home physiological repair device, with enough power to support the operation of the entire Chernobog.

With the help of the Shield Guards, the Rhodes Island team quickly stormed into the sarcophagus, where Lotin met up with them. Since Mephisto had been defeated in advance, it was impossible for a reverted Originium monster to appear again.

"Forgive my prejudice against you, Brass Ghost."

"Even a warrior like Bozokasti cannot leave a mark on you."

Kal'tsit, in her capacity as Lady Ursus, negotiated with Borocasti, who readily admitted that the "Bronze Ghost's" power surpassed his own, and that being able to contend with him in terms of "hardness" was already his limit.

Luo Ting did not respond. If he wanted to, he could probably reply with, "I still prefer the unruly you," no, it should be, "I prefer the you with the smug look on your face."

Although the words were not spoken, the brass giant's mockery and contempt were obvious, and Kal'tsit dared not, could not, and was unable to refute them.

"Chernberg's driving force."

"It is also the place where I was reawakened."

The doctor observed the ancient device.

She awoke here. The headaches and critical situation caused by amnesia during the evacuation prevented her from observing the machine closely. She had a familiarity with this machine that was no less than, and perhaps even greater than, that of Rhodes Island.

"Fortunately, no infected person stumbled into it."

The defenses here have crumbled, and the snow-white giant is no match for it. Now, all we need to do is wait for Kal'tsit to shut down the power supply to the sarcophagus, and Chernobog's rampage will be stopped.

Kal'tsit's fingers traced the control panel, and the deep rumble of the sarcophagus ceased. Chernobog would operate solely on stored energy; once that energy was depleted, it would become nothing more than a piece of scrap metal lying in the wilderness.

"As long as the emergency brake valve is turned off, everything will be over."

Kal'tsit breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's Amiya's mission. Only Amiya is suited to carry it out."

"Or a rain shower."

Lotin added another solution, but there are currently no signs of rain, as the default skin is highly dependent on the weather.

The current situation is like a rain team in Pokémon being missing a weather setter.

Lotin had been trying to change the situation, but without any substantial progress. He could only try to upgrade the system and attempt to trigger more of its functions.

"Is there no possibility that the Empire will re-engage it in war?"

The Doctor asked Kal'tsit this question seriously, as she vaguely sensed that this power was tempting enough for the Terrans.

Kal'tsit answered the Doctor's question calmly, which did not mean that their relationship had improved in any substantial way.

Kal'tsit introduced the history of the sarcophagus’s discovery and development to the Doctor, hypothesizing an unrealized path, a dream that could not be realized on earth today, where a kind scientist was betrayed and coerced by a bloodthirsty empire.

It was never intended to be "peacefully used" in the first place to help the Ursus develop the sarcophagus; it was just one of Kal'tsit's countless failed attempts.

"You sent these scientists who trusted you to the slaughterhouse of the Empire."

"They respectfully call you teacher and regard you as a respected mentor."

Lotin stated a fact that Kelsey had confessed to the charge.

"Indeed, Brass Ghost, will you judge me for this?"
