Sea King… Upon hearing Aynor Kotman’s Sequence name, what Klein first associated with the complete honorific name of the «Storm Lord»: «King of the Sky, Emperor of the Seas, Monarch of Calamities, God of Storms!»

Sequence 3 is «Sea King»… Sequence 0 includes the element of Emperor of the Seas, which is quite fitting. I wonder what Sequence 0 of the «Storm» pathway is called. Klein looked out the window again. Although the weather was still somewhat gloomy, dawn had arrived, the sound of the tide had receded, and the rain had completely stopped.

He pulled his thoughts back and began analyzing the situation from the information Danitz had revealed.

The potion name is «Sea King,» meaning that the corresponding Sequence 3 demigod and Saint must act the part of the «Sea King,» and all acting requires a prerequisite: possessing all the necessary abilities oneself.

As a «Sea King,» even with a range limitation, within the seas under one’s control one would definitely be a powerful ruler. One could walk freely on the seabed, wantonly raise tsunamis, cause the sea level to rise, and dominate marine life… Fighting on one’s «home ground,» they could absolutely overpower all demigods of the same level. The «King of the Five Seas» and the «Mysterious Queen» are also more or less at this rank, only differing in their degree of digestion and mastery of their power, leading to a certain distinction in strength.

But regardless, as long as they were at sea, it would be difficult for them to beat the «Sea King.»

Given the abilities displayed by the «Sea King,» combined with the ocean environment, if someone had never seen true gods like the «» or the «,» it would not be too hard to understand why they would worship him, have faith in him, and pray to him.

Many gods in primitive cults might be at this rank, most likely not even Angels.

Hmm, «Do not gaze at God» refers to true gods. Previously, the «Sea God» did not give me that feeling, nor did ’s avatar. Of course, I cannot determine whether the true body of the «King of Angels» also possesses the attribute of not being gazable at.

One was a «Sea God» on the verge of collapse, now at most at the Sequence 3 level; the other was a «Sea King» in good condition who could use Sealed Artifacts at any time. The outcome was predictable. Aynor Kotman could definitely keep suppressing Kalvetua’s madness, preventing the sea from engulfing Bayam and preventing the entire Blue Mountain Island and its many cities from becoming lost underwater ruins.

Waiting a few more days for Kalvetua’s final madness to pass and for him to completely disintegrate and dissipate would resolve the issue. This was the simplest and most effective plan, causing no panic, and most people here would not even notice anything unusual.

But there were some problems. First, there must be no other unexpected events. Latitia the archaeologist had done something on Simium Island and single-handedly orchestrated the «Sea God’s» downfall. The «Mos Ascetic Order» or «» behind her might take the opportunity to seek something. This was the biggest concern. Ah, the Governor’s residence and the military side should also have a high-sequence powerhouse here, a fulcrum for the kingdom’s colonial rule in the Central Sounia Sea… Things wouldn’t get too bad.

Second, those fanatical believers. As Kalvetua grew crazier and closer to death, they would likely become sacrifices, like stalks of wheat at harvest, falling one after another.

However, this was not too bad a development for the Church of Storms. The most devout heretics dying along with their god would save the trouble of subsequent screening and handling. Those less devout would not be too affected and could potentially be reformed in the future. The only drawback was that for a long time, the would face a labor shortage. Although this was a troublesome problem, as long as they gritted their teeth, it could be solved. So the Church of Storms and «Sea King» Aynor Kotman would likely stand by and do nothing. Sigh, in the areas where the locals gathered, in the slums, who knows how many people would die because of this… Klein’s thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of uniform footsteps and a roaring noise from above.

He instinctively looked up and saw several deep-blue airships with exposed cannons and protruding machine guns sailing past his view, heading toward different areas.

On the streets, Loen soldiers in red coats, white pants, and black leather boots, carrying rifles and hauling artillery, passed by in neat rows, one column after another.

An atmosphere of tension and grimness suddenly expanded.

So this is a colony… Klein sighed to himself with a strange feeling.

«I wonder how long it will take the Church to kill that sea serpent and find the place it was hiding before. That place is definitely a treasure trove, with countless valuable items…» Danitz, whose main profession was a treasure hunter, suddenly spoke, his tone somewhat expectant yet regretful.

His attitude had changed very quickly. He had already downgraded the «Sea God» to a sea serpent and referred to him as «it.»

The Church could do nothing, just suppress him like this, wait a few days, and they would see Kalvetua fall. Of course, the people of the Church of Storms might not have that patience, especially since I heard that Aynor Kotman’s original position was a High Deacon of the «Punishers.» It was only because the islands were isolated overseas, for the unity of authority, that he also served as a Cardinal. His style might be closer to that of a «Punisher.» The place where Kalvetua hid? That ruin had almost merged with the Spirit World. Finding it wouldn’t be simple, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to survive until today… Thinking of this, Klein suddenly had an inspiration.

Finding the ruin where Kalvetua was hiding was very difficult from the real world, even if he had already fallen. It wouldn’t be discovered in a year or two unless more accurate intelligence was obtained.

But what if he proceeded from the Spirit World?

The Spirit World was even harder to navigate, but it wasn’t completely without a way. , the «Quicksilver Snake,» had once demonstrated it using a folded paper crane… As for the specifics, I still have no idea, but that doesn’t matter. I can consult Mr. Azik. The domain of Death holds some authority over the Spirit World… The Underworld, or Hell, was created within the Spirit World by Gherrigari the Primordial Phoenix, the ancient god of Death… With a flash of this thought, Klein took out the ancient, exquisite copper whistle, brought it to his mouth, and blew.

He believed that even if he returned to his bedroom or went into the bathroom, Danitz, who was not lacking in spirituality, would inevitably notice the messenger’s massive body, so he didn’t bother to hide from him.

Danitz was imagining the treasure of the «Sea God» Kalvetua when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Sensing something, he hurriedly activated his Spirit Vision and looked to the side and behind. He saw bones erupting from the floor and flying upward, assembling into a giant skeleton whose head was illusory and pierced through the ceiling.

The skeleton slightly lowered its head. Even through the ceiling, two points of pitch-black flame could be faintly seen.

The oppressive feeling from its massive body made Danitz leap to the side, half-crouch, and gather red flames in the palm of his right hand.

What kind of monster is this? Danitz looked in shock at Gehrman Sparrow, seeing him holding a copper whistle, his head raised, quietly staring at the skeleton monster.
