Chapter 548 Inviting the Sea God
Elbert leaped forward.
He jumped across the water between the two islands.
But this jump wasn't like before—powerful and thunderous.
Instead, his form floated gracefully.
He slowly climbed the steps of the Golden Island, as if enjoying the scenery.
The black fog behind him followed closely.
Above the palace, the twelve warriors showed terrified expressions.
Deep feelings of helplessness filled their hearts!
In the eyes of the twelve warriors, the black fog behind Elbert was like tumbling, wailing demons. Any golden weapon touched by that fog couldn't last more than a few breaths before vanishing completely!
They weren't even sure anymore whether to attack or not!
In just these ten-plus minutes, the Type-I nanobots had reproduced thousands of generations!
The evolution of the species was drastically compressed.
Even Elbert was shocked by their changes!
The Type-I nanobots had grown wings, could fly everywhere, and had stronger organizational abilities.
As soon as they landed on the island, they began foraging on their own.
Sure enough, the palaces on the island were all made of gold inside.
Even those inconspicuous low buildings were cast in gold!
Buzz buzz...
As the black fog drifted past, only the stone shell disguises remained of the island's buildings, which collapsed under their own weight!
In the blink of an eye, the number of nanobots multiplied tenfold again!
The twelve warriors were at a loss.
Queen Oya watched everything with a terrified expression!
She never expected this battle would be so one-sided, completely suppressed by the opponent!
After a long moment.
Her face hardened, and she ordered through gritted teeth: "Summon the Sea God!"
The four white-robed elders' expressions turned serious at these words.
But they knew that at this point, there was no other option!
The twelve Golden warriors' eyes flashed with apprehension.
Without speaking, they all stepped back in unison, retreating from the sunlight into the shadows under the eaves!
As if afraid of being exposed!
At the same time.
On the seaside platform beside Queen Oya's palace, a dozen muscular men emerged, pushing treasure chests to the shore.
The moment the chests opened, they were dazzlingly bright!
Inside were full of golden jewelry, pearls, gems, and more!
These men carefully, one after another, dumped the treasures from the chests into the sea!
Continuously!
In just a few minutes, they dumped over a dozen chests of treasures!
By market value, that was at least several billion dollars in cash!
Elbert could see everything clearly from a distance.
What was this supposed to mean?
Would rather die than surrender?
What a waste!
But then.
The sea surface where countless treasures sank suddenly began to churn!
Though the movement wasn't large, you could clearly feel strong currents surging in the deep water!
Elbert noticed the anomaly from afar and narrowed his eyes.
Robert's voice came through, "There's something underwater, quite powerful, and massive!"
Suddenly.
The water surface churned, white steam rose, and countless bubbles gurgled up, as if the seawater was boiling!
Bang!
With an explosive sound, seawater splashed several meters high, and an air mass at least 15 feet in diameter shot out from below the surface!
Like a white bubble, but containing extremely high heat, the surrounding air began to steam and distort!
The bubble rushed over in an instant, targeting not Elbert, but the Type-I nanobots flying in the air!
The massive 'black fog' was instantly penetrated by the bubble, the high temperature and speed creating a huge gap in the 'fog'!
The bubble then dissipated in the air a mile away!
"OMG!"
"That's at least a billion bugs dead!"
Robert's pained voice came through!
Elbert was also furious!
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
He pushed off with his feet, his body shooting forward, heading straight for the shoreline!
Just as Elbert was about to reach the shore, the water surface suddenly exploded!
Then the seawater split to both sides.
A massive creature rose from the depths, at least 30 feet tall, blocking out the sky!
Elbert stopped and paused slightly, "That's one big claw."
At the same time.
Everyone in the ancient Golden Kingdom trembled, their eyes filled with both reverence and deep fear!
Crack crack!
The claw's joints made grinding sounds as it bent slightly, smashing toward Elbert on the shore!
This strike was like a building collapsing. Elbert's form wasn't even one percent of its size. The next scene was easy to imagine—Elbert would become pulp!
Bang!
The moment the claw touched the ground, the entire Golden Island shook!
Dust flew up, and some tall surrounding rocks were instantly crushed to powder!
Everyone felt relieved for having survived!
But looking closely.
Elbert's small form still stood firm, supporting the massive claw with one arm, his expression calm!
This scene was extremely unreasonable!
From a distance, the disparity was too great, but undeniably, Elbert's strength was heaven-defying!
The sea surface churned violently again!
A massive white-and-red body appeared!
The seawater split to both sides, sliding off its grotesque armored shell. Though it had no fangs, its mouth had spikes several feet long!
Elbert grinned slightly, "It's actually a shrimp?"
Most interesting was that this giant shrimp had only one enormously large pincer—the one striking Elbert—while the other was ten times smaller, as if underdeveloped!
"Divine shrimp!"
Robert exclaimed.
Analysis data began appearing in Elbert's eyes, identifying the shrimp's appearance and matching it with online information!
"Good grief!"
"This is a pistol shrimp!"
"At least 150 feet long! This claw must be 60 feet!"
Information appeared in Elbert's eyes.
'The pistol shrimp, also called snapping shrimp, has one large and one small claw, body length about 2 inches!'
'Lives in shallow tropical ocean waters. The large claw has a cavity inside. When the pistol shrimp closes its large claw, the outer protrusion instantly inserts into the cavity, shooting out a water jet at about 32m/s, stunning or even killing prey (such as small fish, small shrimp, small crabs).'
'Such high-speed water flow creates a cavitation phenomenon!'
'Forming an extremely small low-pressure bubble that lasts only one billionth of a second from formation to collapse, producing a huge explosive sound while generating temperatures of 4500-4700 degrees, very close to the sun's surface temperature!'
Elbert nodded slowly.
Species created by nature were always beyond imagination!
This information explained where that air bubble came from!
But this thing was way more than 2 inches?
Way more than killing small fish and shrimp?
Temperature close to the sun?
If it hit me, I'd probably be in trouble!
