Chapter 176 See You in the Future!

In the vast black fog.

Near the coast.

"Captain, who is that guy?"

The first mate of the [Black Sail] opened his only remaining eye and looked at the giant standing in the fire in the distance, with a touch of shock in his eyes.

"When did the descendants of giants appear on Emerald Island?"

Beside him, Augustine also showed a rare serious expression and shook his head.

"That's not a giant, he's not even a human."

Augustine's inspiration far exceeds that of ordinary pirates.

In his perspective, the body of the shadow giant seemed to be composed of countless overlapping shadows.

Each shadow seemed to be twisting and squirming, making an unsettling wail, and even causing the surrounding things to mutate.

The streets in the distance were shaking, the ground under his feet was spinning in a spiral, and the houses in the black fog were sometimes normal and sometimes turned into solemn tombstones.

The night sky was hanging down crookedly, and even the shapes of those [filthy sea beasts] were changing towards a more weird state.

However, Augustine knew that these scenes were just hallucinations caused by a sudden decrease in rationality.

And this situation only occurs when facing some indescribable existence related to ancient gods.

"What is He?"

With the idea of ​​exploration and curiosity, Augustine tried to look at the core of the giant.

Then, he saw a madly wriggling vortex of light and shadow, with countless stars and light marks whistling and flowing.

And in the deepest part of this vortex of light and shadow, it seemed to be...

A blue eye!

Boom!

At the moment of looking into this eye, Augustine's brain roared, and his consciousness was greatly impacted, as if it was about to float out of the body.

At this time, a bracelet on his wrist suddenly emitted a pure glimmer, barely stabilizing his mind.

"Hu! Hu..."

Augustine came back to his senses, gasping like a drowning man, and his back was wet with cold sweat.

"Ship...Captain?!"

The first mate on the side was horrified. It was the first time he saw the captain, who was always majestic and invincible, showing such an expression.

And this was just because the captain looked at the giant for a second?

"I'm fine."

Augustine quickly regained his composure, waved his hand, and looked down at his wrist.

Those precious, clear gems had all shattered into tiny chips.

Augustine couldn't help but feel a little scared.

If it weren't for this bracelet, he would have fallen into real madness at this time.

"That eye... the power of [Secret Sea]..."

Augustine calmed down, suppressed his thoughts, and spoke.

"No matter who he is, at least at this moment, he is not our enemy."

"As for the man with flames all over his body, it reminds me of a legend on the continent..."

Hearing this, the one-eyed first mate was thoughtful: "You mean, the child born in the volcano?"

"That's right."

Augustine nodded: "It is said that in a city in the southern continent, a child was born with the eruption of a volcano. He was also wrapped in flames and burned day and night."

"The child's name is Xin!"

The one-eyed first mate guessed: "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

"There are so many secret pathers who control the secret power of fire on the continent, how could I meet him by chance?"

Augustine whispered: "Maybe."

Suddenly, Augustine laughed: "The two of them have stolen all the limelight."

"How can we not show it?"

Before he finished speaking, the tall man clenched his palms.

With a violent roar, the [Filthy Sea Heirs] within a radius of hundreds of meters around him seemed to be squeezed by a huge force, and their bodies exploded and died.

If someone stood next to Augustine, they would undoubtedly be surprised to find that-

In front of them, the dark sea water had already risen to a height of more than ten meters.

Waves, stronger than one another, came from a distance, constantly impacting an invisible space barrier.

Along with the black fog, there was actually a tsunami that was enough to submerge the island!

And the one who stopped the tsunami from rushing to the coast was none other than Augustine!

Fighting a tsunami with one person's strength!

What kind of courage and power is this? !

However, this matter also consumed a lot of Augustine's energy, leaving him unable to spare any time to support the elves in the city.

Just at this time.

Several rotten and filthy figures appeared in the mist and walked towards Augustine.

"Are you here again, you filthy bastards?"

Augustine was not angry but happy, and laughed loudly: "Go tell your God that His era is over!"

"You guys should have been swept into the trash can of history long ago, and you still dare to walk in this world?"

After saying that, he took the lead and strode towards these [Apostles of Chaos].

…

…

"Hehehe..."

In the dark blue soul flames, the bodies and even the souls of the [Apostles of Chaos] were quickly burned to ashes.

He opened his eyes, which were only white bones, and stared at Xia En and Yan Yan, and spoke hoarsely in the flames.

"Hehe... This time, you won."

"But we will eventually recover from the chaos!"

"See you in the future!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rotten and blasphemous force flowed along his body towards Yan Yan.

Obviously, even if he was about to die, he didn't intend to let Yan Yan have an easy time.

This corrupt power was indeed extremely strange, and it spread from his fist to his arm in a blink of an eye.

Even fire could not destroy or stop the spread of this secret power.

On Yan Yan's body, patches like corpses immediately appeared, and large pieces of flesh and blood turned into pus.

Seeing this, Xia En did not hesitate to cancel the transformation state and came to Yan Yan's side.

As if because of the burning of his soul just now, Yan Yan's eyes were dull and empty, as if he was in a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness.

"Yan Yan! Yan Yan!"

Xia En called his name: "Cheer up!"

Hearing this, Yan Yan's eyelids moved, and his pale face finally had some life.

At this time, he also noticed the erosion of the power of corruption and immediately spoke.

"Captain Xia En... cut off my head!"

"Hurry!"

"... What?"

Xia En was stunned at first, but soon understood Yan Yan's intention.

With his immortality, he would not die even if his head was chopped off, but could avoid the pollution of the power of decay.

This is indeed the only way at the moment.

Thinking of this, Shane no longer hesitated, cut off Yan Yan's head with a big sword, and ran with it in the black fog.

As for the rest of Yan Yan's body, it quickly rotted and decomposed into a pile of rotten meat.

Due to the death of [Apostle of Chaos], the surrounding sea heirs fell into a brief stagnation, which gave the three a chance to escape.

Even so, it didn't take long for sea heirs to stare at them one after another, hanging behind them like a pack of wolves.

Although there was no attraction from the fire, the number of sea heirs decreased a lot.

But similarly, after the power of [Giant Bracelet] [Dual Ship Soul] [Storm Power] faded, Shane also fell into a very weak state.

The worst thing is...

[Ship Soul Power: 24/100]

The Ship Soul Power, which represents the "blood bar", has fallen to an extremely dangerous number.

Shane really couldn't be sure whether he would return to his body or die completely in this era when the Ship Soul Power fell to 0.

This night was extremely long.

The sound of fighting came from the darkness around him. It was other residents who were attacked and killed.

As he lost his guide and was unfamiliar with the city, Shane could only flee in the black fog by instinct.

It was unknown how long this pursuit lasted.

Shane did not remember how many [Filthy Sea Heirs] he had killed.

Even the ship soul level of the [Diamond Star] was upgraded by one level.

But at this time, Shane was really exhausted. He had hallucinations in his mind, his limbs were sore and weak, and the power of the ship soul fell to (2/100).

I am afraid that just one more sea heir could end his life.

It can be said that this was the first time that Shane was forced into such a desperate situation.

[Emerald Island - God's Wrath] was not a copy he could explore now.

Shane was like a novice player who had just defeated the first BOSS and came directly to a map of late difficulty. It was not easy for him to persist for so long.

Suddenly, Tracy emerged from Shane's collar and pointed at a house not far away and shouted.

"Captain Shane, look over there!"

Shane looked closely and saw that the building was emitting a bright light, stubbornly resisting the erosion of the black fog.

He also saw the outline of the building clearly and was surprised.

"It's the Elf Temple!"

It turned out that they had circled back to the vicinity of the Elf Temple without realizing it!

The temple has the power of the Elf Mother Goddess, so it can also shelter the survivors.

Seeing that the way out was right in front of him, Shane cheered up again and walked quickly towards the temple.

But before he took two steps, his heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.

Because by chance, a [Filthy Sea Heir] shaped like a sea snake swam out of the nearby fog.

The breath of this sea snake was not too strong, but for Shane, who was already at the end of his strength, it might be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Is this fate?"

Shane took a deep breath and prepared to give it a try.

At the very least, the heads of Tracy and Yanyan must be sent to the temple.

At this time, the sea snake also noticed his presence, and a trace of greed flashed in its pale eyes.

Then, it swam closer to Shane.

The dark mist accumulated in its abdomen, which was an attack similar to exhalation.

But just when the sea snake opened its mouth.

A ray of light suddenly lit up in the darkness.

Then, a sharp blade made of light fell from three inches of the sea snake, easily cutting off its head.

Shane was stunned and looked at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him.

"... Leila?"

The elf girl, Leila, came to Shane with the help of the teleportation spell.

Looking at Shane in front of her, Leila was excited and said softly.

"Fortunately, I arrived in time."

After being surprised, Shane couldn't help but ask, "How did you know I was here?"

"What about Anqi and other civilians?"

"I left the teleportation coordinates on you."

Lila suppressed her emotions and whispered, "Anqi and the others have arrived at the palace, and Her Majesty the Queen is organizing people to resist."

"With the Queen here, the palace must be safe."

Hearing this, Shane was stunned.

In other words, Leila didn't know his current situation, but she still teleported here without hesitation.

If he was being besieged by the sea heirs, how could Leila, who was teleported to his side, be spared?

But now, it's not time to relax.

Shane put aside his distracting thoughts and quickly took Leila into the Elf Temple, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because the location of the temple was too remote, there were no other elves here.

Shane sighed softly, "We are safe, temporarily."

Lila was slightly startled, looked around, and asked softly.

"Where's the big guy with you? He..."

Shayne patted a package beside him and said, "Don't worry, he's still alive, but... his current state is a bit scary."

Hearing this, Leila wisely didn't ask any more questions.

After suddenly being safe, the tense nerves inevitably relaxed a little.

After experiencing the dangers of the night, Tracy soon fell asleep on Shane's shoulder.

Shayne and Leila sat side by side on the bench in the temple, looking at each other in silence for a while, maintaining a reassuring silence.

Shayne looked at Leila and found that her temperament had changed a lot.

This elf girl was still a little immature, but overnight, her eyebrows became more determined, her eyes became bright and clear, and her original weakness was abandoned.

Her expression was confused and uneasy, but she forced herself to be strong.

This demeanor was unexpectedly touching.

"Are you tired?"

Shayne thought for a moment and said, "If you are tired, you can lean on me and rest for a while."

Lila hummed softly and leaned gently on his shoulder.

Tracy was sleeping soundly on the other shoulder, but Leila couldn't sleep.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she remembered the terrible cracks in the air, the destroyed houses, the civilians who died in the black fog, and the title of "Daughter of Sinners".

Did she bring all these disasters?

"By the way, I remember that when we first met, this fairy said that you came from the future?"

Lila opened her eyes, leaned on Shane's shoulder, and whispered, "Is it true?"

Shayne nodded.

"The future, how many years away from now? Is it peaceful there?"

"At least a thousand years."

Shayne suddenly remembered that he still had things to do and reminded him.

"In the future, there will be a great flood that will sweep across the world and submerge this island."

"There will also be a volcanic eruption that will destroy the Upper City!"

"That kind of disaster is not much worse than the Wrath of God!"

Lila was slightly stunned and sighed, "So in the future, this city will also have so many disasters?"

"By the way, have you seen the magic pattern on my body? It's the dark red pattern."

Shayne continued, "I don't know the specific principle, but what is certain is that this is the product born from the Emerald Island."

"Moreover, this kind of magic pattern can be used even in the black fog of the Wrath of God!"

As he said, Shane took out several things with magic patterns from the space ring and handed them to Leila.

"What is this?"

Lila was shocked and quickly saw the value of these magic pattern creations.

The reason why the elves did not have much power to fight back in the black fog was because of its ban on the "elven language".

At this time, the existence of this magic pattern can undoubtedly help them overcome difficulties and greatly reduce the casualties of residents.

When handing over the magic pattern creation, Shane couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

If the elves only started to develop magic patterns after this...

Doesn't this mean that the magic pattern was born because of me?

Did I also gain the talent of [Chaos Magic Pattern] because of this?

This seems to constitute a reincarnation, a closed loop, and a paradox of time and space.

At this time, Leila asked carefully again: "Will you stay here?"

Shayne was silent for a moment.

He raised his head and looked at the goddess statue in the center of the temple.

On the blurred face of the goddess statue, there was still a mysterious and meaningful smile.

Shayne suddenly realized something and said: "I will probably disappear soon. The next road may depend on you."

Leila's heart was very complicated.

The girl looked at Xiaen intently, as if she wanted to remember his appearance in her heart.

Finally, she opened her arms and hugged Xiaen tightly.

The sky gradually brightened, and the first ray of sunlight emerged from the sea in the east, spreading on [Emerald Island], dispersing the black fog like an ocean.

Before the sun came, Leila whispered to herself.

"I will live!"

"Only a thousand years, I am an immortal!"

Her voice became louder and louder, as if she was making some kind of oath.

"I will continue my research and carry forward the magic pattern and steam technology..."

"I will record the magic I like and share it with you in the future..."

"I will save my people and drive out the evil gods!"

The golden sunlight fell into the hall, and Shane's silver pocket watch began to turn again.

His figure disappeared in the sunlight like a bubble.

Pearl-like tears flowed from Leila's eyes, and she couldn't stop flowing down.

She murmured: "We... will see each other in the future!"

"Definitely!"

Shane stared into her eyes and said solemnly: "See you in the future!"

The next moment.

The silver light enveloped his figure.

When Shane opened his eyes again, he saw the icy cold sea water and the lonely and empty temple.

Time passed, and only the smile of the goddess statue was as mysterious as it was a thousand years ago.
