Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

Looking at the fishing gear in his hand,
Su Wang planned to summon the Supreme Being panel to see what was going on.

However, the Supreme Being panel that should have appeared did not materialize as soon as the thought arose.

This caused Su Wang's expression to pause slightly.

"how come…"

The information panel is inaccessible, which is unprecedented.

Fortunately, the Heart of Death functioned normally, and the power within its body remained unchanged.

It seems that only the Supreme Being panel is no longer viewable.

Su Wang couldn't help but wonder.

"Could all of this be related to the area we are currently in?"

The Fisherman's Panel is given to each fisherman by the "fish".

The disappearance of the panel seems more like a deliberate act by the "fish".

Su Wang suddenly remembered that "Fish" had once said that another "polluted world" was looking for Him.

The disappearance of the panel now may indicate that "Fish" does not want to make contact in this place where pollution originated.

The mysterious appearance of the fishing gear is a subtle hint from the "fish" to him in another way.

Su Wang immediately stopped worrying about the inability to summon the panel and started thinking about the fishing gear.

Fishing gear…

Su Wang murmured to himself, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Could the target be underwater?"

Fishing gear is primarily used to catch fish underwater.
The fish helped him summon his fishing gear, perhaps as a hint that he should search for his target underwater.

Upon realizing this, Su Wang immediately switched from radar mode to sonar mode, also imbuing it with the power of faith fuel.

Once the sonar radar is turned on,

Su Wang then discovered another strange place in this sea area.

There are no strange fish!

Not only are there no pollutant aggregates on the surface of this sea area, but there are also no strange fish underwater.

Previously, regardless of the polluted sea area, the water was teeming with a large number of polluted, strange fish.

Su Wang maintained the sonar search mode, but lowered the flight altitude.

To ensure the range of sonar detection, it can reach deeper underwater areas.

The Heart of the Dead continued its voyage, resuming its search for the area where the pollution originated.

However, Su Wang's expression soon showed confusion again.

No!

Still nothing has been found.

This sea area is like a dead sea.

Su Wangdu wondered if he had guessed wrong after all.
But if the fishing gear is a clue given by the "fish," then you're probably heading in the right direction; perhaps you're just using the wrong method.

Su Wang gritted his teeth and decided to risk trying another method.

Fishing!

It drove the Heart of Death to descend to an altitude extremely close to the sea surface.

Currently, Su Wang still doesn't need to rely on the Soul Fusion state to directly control the Heart of Death to summon the giant fishing gear.

After all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Lost Heart is now Su Wang himself.

Once the giant fishing gear is deployed,
Su Wang simply cast his line into the water without even preparing any bait.

We haven't even seen the target, and there's no "fish" to provide any clues.

Everything was unknown, so Su Wang could only try it out first.

However, the moment the fishing hook hit the water, Su Wang's expression changed drastically.

A terrifying, chaotic consciousness swept over him in an instant.

I had experienced this feeling once before, when the mimicry-like fish first entered deeply polluted waters.

The difference this time is that it is more direct and more intense.

Suddenly, Su Wang felt himself and the Death Heart Ship arrive in a strange dimension.

Even though the "Death Heart" was still in the state of casting its hook and entering the water, I just felt that the surroundings were different.

It seems to be situated in the overlap of one dimension and another.

The true face of this place, the source of pollution, was revealed to Su Wang at this moment.

fish!
A huge fish swimming in another dimension.

The fish has a mix of red and black scales, and each scale is covered with countless eyeballs.

Between the fish scales, endless, twisting tentacles resembled parasites living within them.

This fish has a head but no tail, as if it were missing its other half.

But Su instantly realized what the other half of Him was.

It is indeed a "fish"!
The fish's appearance is remarkably similar to the light source that connects head to tail above its head.

The complete form should be a two-headed fish, but what is presented to Su Wang at this moment is just one head of this two-headed fish.

Within this unique latitude, not only does this enormous and bizarre fish exist, but many more do exist.

Those were shadowy fish, smaller than the eerie fish.

In comparison, the eerie fish with its severed tail is like a giant creature a meter long, while the other fish shadows are like tiny fry the size of a thumb.

Each fish shadow appeared strange and unusual, yet it did not exhibit any eerie pollution.

Su Wang, who held the reins of power over the world, immediately sensed the fluctuations of extraordinary power emanating from each of these fish shadows.

It is more profound than ordinary extraordinary power fluctuations, as if it were close to the origin of extraordinary power.

"This is... the Extraordinary Fish King?"

Su Wang suddenly understood.

Aside from the bizarre fish with severed tails, those tiny fish shadows all seemed to be the extraordinary fish kings he had been searching for.

However, having obtained marine relics from killing the source of pollution, Su Wang stopped thinking about searching for these fish kings.

Meanwhile, the eerie, tailless fish was swimming in this strange latitude, chasing and devouring these extraordinary fish kings.

The sudden arrival of the Heart of Death at this latitude shattered the "big fish eat little fish" game that had been going on for who knows how long.

The strange, tailless fish suddenly stopped chasing the smaller fish, and its enormous head turned towards the direction of the Heart of Death.

Compared to those thumb-sized giant fish, the Heart of Death, located at this latitude, is significantly larger.

At least in the face of the bizarre fish with its severed tail, the difference is no longer between a meter-long behemoth and a thumb-sized fish.

The size of the Heartless is about two-thirds that of the strange, tailless fish.

Su Wang spotted the giant, tailless fish swimming towards him and immediately became alert.

While all of this happening suddenly was unexpected, one thing is certain.

This strange fish with its severed tail must be the target he's looking for.

Even more so, "He" is the evolutionary existence of pollution within the world.

The most important thing that "Fish" wanted Su Wang to solve was "Him".

If it's some kind of incomprehensible goal, Su Wang might have to think about how to solve it.

But since the other party has the shape of a fish, things become much simpler.

Isn't the most effective way to catch fish the giant fishing gear on the bow of the Lost Heart?
Su Wang immediately took action, maneuvering the Wangxin fishing gear to swing the fishing line and hook toward the fish with the broken tail that was swimming in.

The eerie, tailless fish seemed to have no intention of avoiding the attack and was only focused on charging towards the Heart of Death.

The fishhook, unsurprisingly, sank into the body of the strangely severed-tailed fish.

However, the next second, Su Wang's face suddenly turned pale.

A chaotic, disordered, and frenzied consciousness surged and assaulted Su Wang's mind.

The impact of this chaotic consciousness was more than a thousand times greater than before.

Su Wang's own consciousness, under the impact of this chaotic consciousness, was like a small reef being pounded by a raging wave.

If his soul hadn't undergone its ultimate transformation and merged with the Heart of the Dead, completely forged from the fuel of faith, anyone else would likely have been instantly assimilated by the surging, chaotic consciousness.

"Gan!"

Without any information or clues, Su Wang was unsure whether the fishhook would be effective against the strange, tailless fish.

But the moment the fishhook struck the strangely severed-tailed fish, Su Wang's stored faith fuel began to burn at an alarming rate.

The entire Heart of the Dead was engulfed in scorching flames.
The scorching flames also spread along the fishing line of the giant fishing rod at the bow of the ship to the strangely severed-tailed fish.

The strange, tailless fish that had been charging headlong towards the Heartless was suddenly stirred by the scorching flames.

The enormous fish body suddenly began to struggle and writhe.

Su Wang could see that under the burning white flames,
One by one, the eyeballs on the scales of the eerie, tailless fish burst open, and the twisted tentacles between the scales melted away.

All of this is built upon the frenzied consumption of the fuel of faith.

Su Wang pursed her pale lips.

At this moment, the two sides are locked in a stalemate.

His consciousness was constantly subjected to the impact of disordered and chaotic consciousness, while the burning power of faith fuel continuously damaged the strange, tailless fish.

Right now it's a race to see who can hold on the longest.

If he were to fail, Su Wang would be unable to withstand the impact on his consciousness and would be eroded by this chaotic consciousness.

Or perhaps the fuel of faith has burned out, losing the ability to kill the strange, tailless fish.

Victory means eliminating this strange, tailless fish before its faith fuel runs out.

At this moment, Su Wang couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had enough believers and that his reserves of faith fuel were extremely abundant.

If it were Cao Ge or Di Anxuan, they would probably be lucky to last even half a minute given this rate of consumption of their faith fuel.

Even so, Su Wang still had no confidence.

Without the "fish" information, Su Wang was unable to determine the target's strength.

They didn't even know how much damage they had done to the strange, tailless fish, and were unable to make a judgment.

Time passed by,
Su Wang's consciousness was already in a hazy state.

He no longer knew how long he had persisted.

Maybe half a minute...

Maybe a minute...

Or maybe ten minutes...

The frenzied and overwhelming surge of consciousness caused Su Wang to completely lose his perception of the passage of time.

In the tug-of-war between the two sides, Su Wang is at a disadvantage.

Not only is it necessary to burn faith fuel to damage the eerie, tailless fish, but it also requires fuel to resist the impact of consciousness.

Even with the protection of the power of faith fuel, Su Wang's consciousness was not entirely unharmed.

If his soul hadn't been strong enough, he would have given up long ago.

Even the most powerful things have their limits.
Su Wang felt that if this continued, his consciousness would be turned into mush by the chaotic force of his consciousness.

Before the fuel of faith is exhausted, one will lose oneself first.

At this moment, Su Wang was already considering retreating.

It wasn't that he was cowardly, but that he understood his own importance.

As one of the three supreme beings, and the dominant one among them.

If something happens to him, everything will be over.

The "fish" will no longer have time to cultivate a new replacement.

The fall of the world will be inevitable.

But the tug-of-war has already begun, and Su Wang doesn't know what the consequences will be if he stops fishing.

They didn't even know how to escape this bizarre dimension.

However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The impact on Su Wang's consciousness suddenly weakened by a tiny bit.

Soon, it weakened a little more.

Although it was very faint, Su Wang could definitely feel it.

"Could it be that He couldn't hold on any longer?"

Su Wang, whose consciousness was in a state of chaos, couldn't help but think.

As the impact of the chaotic consciousness gradually subsided, Su Wang's consciousness finally regained a sliver of clarity.

But when their focus returned to normal, they realized it wasn't what they had just thought.

There are other reasons that weaken the impact of chaotic consciousness.

At this moment, the shadowy fish, each the size of a thumb, were swimming toward the Heart of Death.

Each time a fish swam by, it would rush towards the fishing rod.

The moment the King Fish's shadow touched the burning white flames on the fishing rod, it disappeared.

Then, a small part of the fishing rod appeared with a picture of the King of Fish.

At the same time, the white flames of the burning fuel of faith seemed to have taken on a different color.

As more and more kingfish charged toward the fishing rod, the patterns on the rod also increased.

The impact of the chaotic consciousness that Su Wang felt was also reduced even more severely.

At this moment, Su Wang could already sense what force was reducing the impact of the chaotic consciousness.

It is extraordinary power, all kinds of extraordinary power!
Each extraordinary fish king represents a tangible manifestation of extraordinary power.

Although the power of the extraordinary is a lower dimension of power compared to the power of faith fuel.

But it is also an important part of this world.

The convergence of various extraordinary powers seemed to have miraculously replenished Su Wang's faith fuel.

Su Wang originally only possessed four extraordinary powers.
However, as the Fish King continuously merged into the fishing rod, the types of extraordinary powers it controlled increased.

The white flames of the fuel of faith gradually change from pure white to a dazzling array of colors.

The burning momentum suddenly surged several times over.

In contrast, the strange, tailless fish struggled even more violently.

Strange fish scales fell off the fish and dissipated into black smoke.

The entire fish appears to be fading in color.

Even the rate at which faith fuel is consumed is gradually slowing down.

Upon realizing this, Su Wang was greatly encouraged.

The urge to retreat that had just arisen vanished instantly.

The perfection of the power of faith fuel by the extraordinary power seems to have made up for Su Wang's last missing piece.

At the current rate of fuel consumption, Su Wang is fully confident that he can last for a long time.

In contrast, considering the strange speed at which the fish with the severed tail was becoming ethereal, Su Wang was confident that he could hold out until it completely disappeared.

"It turns out this piece of the puzzle was missing."

Su Wang couldn't help but sigh, thankfully he had the idea to come to the core source in advance.

Based on the situation upon entering this latitude, this strange, tailless fish is likely devouring these fish kings that represent extraordinary power.

If we wait until the final stage to come,

Perhaps these fish kings, representing extraordinary power, were almost entirely devoured by the strange, tailless fish.

The current perfection of the power of faith fuel
This not only further enhances Su Wang's own strength, but also increases his chances of winning the final battle.

Unfortunately, Cao Ge and Di Anxuan probably won't have the chance to perfect the power of faith fuel.

This strange, tailless fish had begun devouring the Extraordinary Fish King at some unknown time.

Currently, almost all the extraordinary fish kings within this latitude have merged into him.

After dealing with the strange fish with severed tail, they wanted to bring the two of them over, but there were no more extraordinary fish kings left for them to improve themselves.
