302. The Sea God Appears
Raine and White had just stepped out of the vine hut when countless green dots began to converge into a human form in front of them.
Raine looked at the petite and cute elf and smiled, "Elf sister, long time no see."
"It's not that long, only a year... but, you actually ate all my Sea God Fruits?!" The little girl peeked into the empty room with a shocked face, "How are you not dead from an explosion?"
Raine scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed, "I'll tell you about it later, let's go get the Wood Heaven Crystal first."
"Are you ready? You should think clearly. Your decision not only involves your own life and death."
"I've thought it through. It's better to take a risk than wait to die here," Raine said seriously, "This time, I will make this decision for all mankind!"
"Alright, since you've decided, I'll take you to the core of the World Tree." The elf walked over to Raine, holding his hand in one of hers and putting the other on White's forehead.
In the next second, the three of them disappeared from the spot and reappeared in another unfamiliar location.
Raine noticed that they were closer to the giant vines that bound the Sea God and his Sons. Their position was roughly at the height of the Sea God's head.
Although the Sea God's enormous body was trapped in layers of vines, he could still feel an aura of majesty he had never experienced before.
In front of them, two vines extended from the root walls above and below, forking in the center to form a wooden, circular container. Inside the container floated a green stone, which was currently radiating a blue-green glow and slowly rotating.
The Wood Heaven Crystal!
"Elf sister, after I take the Wood Heaven Crystal, please transport me back to my ship."
"No problem, I've already detected the energy-stabilizing device on your ship."
Raine nodded, walked slowly to the stone, took a deep breath, and reached out to take the Wood Heaven Crystal.
"Wait!" The elf suddenly spoke, "Raine, promise me one thing."
Raine turned back in surprise, "What is it?"
The elf looked extremely serious, her merged face showing extraordinary determination, "Do your best! Protect the Earth, protect our common home!"
Raine didn't answer but turned his gaze to the Wood Heaven Crystal.
"I don't need you to tell me, I would do my best anyway!" Having said that, Raine took the Wood Heaven Crystal.
As soon as the Wood Heaven Crystal was removed, all the surrounding vines reacted immediately, wilting rapidly!
The massive root systems binding the Sea God and his Sons also wilted rapidly, and those beings within the roots sensed these changes at the same time.
A deep, ear-piercing voice gradually sounded.
"Haha, haha, ahahaha, I feel it! I feel it! I'm finally coming out!"
"Raine, quickly, I'll take you away first!" The elf grabbed Raine and White and instantly returned to the ship. Raine quickly placed the Wood Heaven Crystal in the secret chamber.
[Wood Heaven Crystal detected]
[Energy Stabilizer initializing, 10%, 20%, 30%...]
"Raine, are you done? They are about to come out!" The elf sister urged.
At this moment, the entire space was shaking violently, like an earthquake! Clearly, they were struggling to break free from the roots!
"Almost done!"
[Energy Stabilizer initializing, 90%, 100%!]
[Wood Heaven Crystal energy has been stabilized.]
Raine immediately gave an order, "White, take the Super Battleship out. If I lose, we can't let the Sea God get it!"
White looked at Raine in surprise. They had agreed to fight together, but it seemed that the boss had tricked him!
"White, listen, this ship has four Heaven Crystals. Maybe this is humanity's last hope. It's crucial, and I have to entrust it to you! Elf sister, let's go!"
The elf grabbed Raine's hand and disappeared from the deck in an instant. Only White was left, staring blankly at the empty deck, making whining sounds...
.........
Avril and the others didn't leave because they were still trying to get the last Sea God Fruit from the thunder pond area.
The more challenging the task, the more precious this Sea God Fruit seemed to be. If the captain could consume this Sea God Fruit, his power would undoubtedly increase dramatically!
Unfortunately, many others had the same idea. The nine gods and demons here, as well as the Demon God Delkel, hadn't left either. They had even set up camp nearby, waiting for an opportunity.
Just at this moment, the heavens and earth began to shake violently, and the ground was swaying like an earthquake. The flower blades gradually dissipated, the undersea wooden spikes became fewer and fewer, and even the massive tree men fell one by one!
"What's going on?" Avril and the others quickly came out of the tent, looking in amazement at the changes between heaven and earth.
"Sea God? What's happening?"
The Sea God frowned at the abnormal phenomenon in the heavens and the earth, his face grave, "This... The energy of the World Tree is rapidly weakening!"
"Look!" Onebear suddenly shouted, "The thunder and lightning in the thunder pond area are weaker than before!"
Everyone hurriedly looked towards the large area of thunder and lightning, where the thunder and lightning seemed to be losing momentum. The quantity of lightning was decreasing, and the area was shrinking.
"Order the fleet to quickly withdraw from the World Tree, leaving only one Super Battleship!" Avril quickly ordered, "We must seize this opportunity to seize the Sea God Fruit!"
……………………
Raine watched as one after another, the Sons of the Sea God broke free from the roots. Eventually, the massive figure in front of him, the true divine Sea God, violently broke the numerous vines on his body!
The gigantic Sea God floated in the air. He had long blue hair, perfectly proportioned muscles, and blue wave-like patterns on his skin that looked like tattoos. He was over a hundred meters tall, with his eyes slightly closed, looking handsome.
Taking a deep breath, the Sea God seemed to be breathing in the fresh air of the world again.
"I have returned! The Azure Epoch, this is my era, I am the strongest god, tremble, world!"
The Sea God slowly raised his right arm. Suddenly, from the depths of the abyss, a blue light shot out, and in a blink of an eye, a huge trident taller than him had returned to his hand!
As he held the Sea God's trident again, the Sea God's face showed indescribable pleasure, as if the infinite power had returned to him once more.
"World Tree? Hahaha, you will pay a hundred times for what you've done. I will let you watch as I kill all the humans you protect, as easily as crushing ants, leaving none behind! King of the world, who dares to disobey? My sons, give this world a baptism!"
Just then, at this solemn and grand scene, there was a few untimely coughs.
"Cough, um, before you and your minions baptize this world, can you respect me a bit?" In front of the Sea God, a teenager was bowing his head, looking a bit awkward.
Because he was too small, the Sea God didn't even notice him, which was indeed a bit embarrassing...
