After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 256 The Sculpture in the Mysterious Sea: Another Familiar Face?
Unaware of the commotion on the sea, Laila and her companions are steadily approaching the depths of the eerie sea.

Led by the orca, the faint light gradually brightened.

Look! There's something there!

Oko excitedly pointed to the object emitting a bright light ahead, but Lyra, who had already spotted it at the front, was not as excited as him.

Everyone should remain vigilant and exercise caution.

For some reason, Leila felt that this exploration of the strange sea area had gone too smoothly.

Even if they had discussed it day and night and even rehearsed it in advance, it should have been taken for granted.

Leila was still uneasy, but she couldn't pinpoint the problem. All she could do was urge everyone to be extra vigilant and cautious.

We are approaching the light source. Please be careful.

At this point, the guides were no longer orcas, but primarily ten submarines.

They steered the submarine closer to the light source, growing increasingly tense the closer they got.

[Strange, why is there only one sculpture here, and nothing else?]

Some people have raised questions.

The sculpture he was referring to was a man in a long robe holding a totem-like mark in his hands.

This totem looks familiar.

Leila frowned, trying to recall anything about the totem, but the more anxious she became, the less she could remember.

Instead, an unfamiliar voice came from the communication device, directly pointing out the origin of the totem.

It is the Beast God.

The Beast God was once the object of worship for the orcs. It is said that the orcs' power originated from the Beast God and was a gift from the god.

However, over time, the existence of the Beast God was gradually forgotten, and people only remembered the powerful orcs, not the Beast God.

[A Beast God? The strange creature lying beneath the sea is actually a Beast God?!]

Oko was utterly baffled. How could the thing that caused his brothers to go missing be related to the Beast God?

No, this sculpture is not a beast god; I'm just referring to a totem symbol.

The Beast God couldn't possibly be in pure human form, so why was he pretending to be mysterious by wearing a long robe and trying to hide himself?

Oh dear! Whatever it is, I just want to know how to find my missing brother!

Talking about these meaningless things now is a complete waste of time.

Oko had neither the time nor the inclination to accompany them here to trace the history of the Beast God!

Let's go take a look first.

Leila did not object to Oko's statement; their main task this time was indeed to rescue people, and everything else should be put aside.

At least it won't be the top priority.

I'll take some men down to scout ahead. Once I've confirmed it's safe, you can proceed.

As a federal colonel, Lyra was naturally the first to rush to the front lines in potentially dangerous situations.

Fortunately, with the light, people were no longer so afraid of the eerie sea.

[Laila, should I go down?]

Hearing that Leila had taken the initiative to take responsibility, Oko felt a little embarrassed.

He felt that this kind of thing should be done by him, since he was definitely a better swimmer than Leila.

Let's not argue about these things now.

Leila, who directly rejected Oko's proposal, assigned him a new task.

If we encounter danger and rescue is impossible, do not hesitate to lead everyone to evacuation first.

It's not that Lyra is engaging in any kind of individual heroism.

She simply felt that, compared to total annihilation, if someone could successfully escape and return to report, those trapped would have a chance to survive.

Okay, be careful.

Oko, who also understood the principle that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn, did not refute Leila any further.

After arranging the next steps, Leila left the submarine with her two companions.

Before setting off, everyone had donned their wetsuits; now all they needed to do was bring their diving equipment. [Everyone else, stay alert and inform Leila and the others immediately if anything seems amiss!]

The person sitting in the submarine now is Leila's eyes, protecting her in places she can't see.

Meanwhile, the naval vessel, already surrounded by rebels and ferocious beasts, could no longer afford to contact Layla and the others.

"The rebels attacked the warship with ferocious beasts. Will Lyra and Oko be alright?!"

Göring shouted at the top of his lungs, but no one could answer his question.

On the contrary, a sound came from the rebel warships.

Lianghe, we meet again.

The voice, as chilling as a venomous snake, was directed at Liang He's location.

Upon learning the other party's background, Liang He raised an eyebrow slightly, appearing more composed than the other party had imagined.

"If I remember correctly, your name should be Ace."

Minister Ace went to Green Star with Valken to take Liang He away, but she killed him instead.

Before the warship self-destructed, Ace made a desperate attempt to escape the blast zone and was never heard from again.

"I never expected you to be so lucky; the warship's self-destruction didn't kill you."

He should be one of the few people who could escape Liang He's murderous intent.

This really annoyed her.

Haha! That's right, it's me!

Ace was very happy to be remembered by Liang He.

If he doesn't even have a name in Liang He's mind, then the pleasure of revenge is lost.

However, I didn't come here to take you away.

Minister Ace barely escaped death, but because Liang He destroyed the warship, no one else survived except him, and he was severely reprimanded.

Harboring hatred for Liang He, Minister Ace endured the rebels' brutal torture.

I'm here... to kill you!

His words unexpectedly made Liang He raise her eyebrows.

As far as she knew, the rebels had always wanted to win her over, so why was this time different?
Could it be that he has come to terms with the situation and knows she won't choose to join the rebels, so he's destroying what he can't have?
"Want to kill me? Too bad, it seems the person who almost died at my hands last time was you."

Liang He is a professional at stabbing the enemy in the heart.

Even when faced with warships aimed at her from the air and being surrounded by countless ferocious sea beasts, she never backed down in the slightest.

[Ha! There's a saying on Earth—"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin," which suits you quite well.]

Perhaps they felt that their carelessness last time had almost led to their complete defeat.

So Ace, who went to great lengths to take on this mission, made a point of learning about Earth's culture.

Whether it's effective or not, it's quite useful when it comes to making threats.

"You've only learned a little bit, yet you dare to show off your limited skills before an expert."

Liang He's eyes were filled with contempt, as if she didn't take Ace's threat seriously at all.

"Ace, you gave me a piece of advice, and I'll give you one back."

Come and don't go indecent.

"Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are inescapable!"

Since he managed to escape last time, he won't be able to escape this time!
It doesn't matter if Ace doesn't understand; he just needs to wait to die.

"Langton!"

"Wow!"

At Liang He's call, the Azure Falcon suddenly spread its wings, grabbed Liang He's shoulder, and soared into the sky.

Upon seeing this, Ace did not hesitate to order the warships to use their energy cannons to bombard Liang He and Landon.

"Haha! You have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, and you insist on coming to hell when there's no way out!"

"Liang He, you're dead!"

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone!
