Ocean Lords: Start as a Fisherman

The harpoon, imbued with the flames of burning faith, hit the "polluted fish" without any surprises.

The gun, which is 10,000 meters long, penetrated nearly 80% of the body of the "polluted fish".

The blazing flames of faith instantly engulfed the entire body of the "polluted fish."
The polluted tentacles and eyeballs on its body burst open one by one as they were burned by the flames.

The enormous body of the "polluted fish" writhed violently, as if it were suffering immense pain.

The three of them immediately showed joy on their faces.

"Success!?"

However, after several dozen seconds, apart from the continuous bursts of pollution on its body, the "polluted fish" itself showed no signs of dissipating.

In contrast, the flames of faith brought by the Supreme Fish Gun have gradually shrunk from their initial surging intensity.

Cao Ge's initially excited expression gradually faded, turning somewhat unpleasant.

"Boss, my faith fuel is about to run out."

That last strike had used up almost all of his stored faith fuel.

Furthermore, the special enhancement of the Supreme Fish Gunner's power amplified the faith power on this fish gun a hundredfold.

However, Cao Ge's time to accumulate faith fuel was still too short, and the number of believers he had was far from sufficient.

The imperfections of faith further reduced the threat to the "polluted fish".

Under the burning flames of the harpoon faith, the "polluted fish" only showed a faint sense of illusion.

Based on Su Wang's experience of destroying the fish with the broken tail last time, it would take at least 10 more such attacks to potentially deal a fatal blow to it.

However, Cao Ge had already used all his strength in that one strike, and he couldn't do it even once more, let alone 10 more times!
Upon hearing Cao Ge's shout, Su Wang's expression also turned serious.

The time left for them is still far too short.
Even if they were given just one more month, or even half a month, to accumulate the fuel of their faith, the success rate of this operation would be greatly increased.

Cao Ge was no longer able to deliver a single blow, and Di Anxuan had nearly exhausted her faith fuel in order to set up the giant net that would cover the entire world.

Currently, only Su Wang, who has the most believers, still has reserves of faith fuel.

Soon, the last bit of faith power on Cao Ge's harpoon was exhausted.

The flame of faith attached to burning the "polluted fish" gradually died out.

Without the blessing of faith, the harpoon inserted into the "polluted fish" returned to its original state.

Cao Ge's expression suddenly changed, and his pupils contracted sharply, as if he had seen something terrifying.

Upon seeing this scene, Su Wang immediately realized that he must have been impacted by the polluted consciousness.

He instantly appeared beside Cao Ge, burning the power of his faith and shouting loudly.

"receive!"

Su Wang is resisting the impact of the corrupted will at this moment entirely thanks to the power of his faith that is burning rapidly at all times.

Cao Ge had nearly exhausted his faith fuel reserves for that last attack, and if the remaining faith fuel ran out, he would likely be corrupted and eroded by the pollution.

It would be troublesome if, before the problem of the "polluted fish" is solved, another "supreme polluter" emerges.

Su Wang could bring himself to eliminate the "polluted fish," but he wasn't sure he could bring himself to do it to Cao Ge, whom he had known for a long time.

Fortunately, Cao Ge still had a little bit of faith fuel left, and the impact of the corrupted will had just begun.

At Su Wang's reprimand, Cao Ge's face showed a hint of struggle, and a clearing appeared in his dazed eyes.

In that extremely brief moment, Cao Ge instantly dispelled the condensation of the fishing gear.

The harpoon that was originally inserted into the "polluted fish" immediately disappeared, and the umbilical cord that had been impacted by the polluting will was severed.

Cao Ge staggered, his body unsteady, and his face showed a look of lingering fear.

Seeing this, Su Wang felt a slight sense of relief.

The impact and erosion of the will to pollute appear to have been interrupted.

Now that it was no longer being attacked by the harpoon, the "polluted fish," which had only recently awakened, finally came to its senses.

Its enormous body suddenly spun around in the sea of ​​stars and plunged down towards the pure white land below.

Before the "fish" devoured the filthy blood of the higher dimensions, it had already severed its connection with the land of the world.

Meanwhile, the "polluted fish" has realized what's happening and wants to re-establish contact with the land of the world.

Once contact is restored,
Relying on the entire world, He will be an indelible existence. Even if His condensed consciousness is destroyed, He will be revived through the land of the world.

At that point, unless the entire world is destroyed, there will be no way to deal with the "polluted fish".

The role of Suwang Fishing Gear is to prevent the "polluted fish" from dispersing its ideology, but it cannot effectively curb the "polluted fish's" ability to act.

In a brief moment of inattention, the "polluted fish" had already swooped down to the edge of the world.

Because the world was shrouded in a supreme fishing net, the "polluted fish" crashed straight into it.

The golden fishing net suddenly ignited a flame of faith, stopping the "polluted fish" from its dive.

Between the "polluted fish" and the land of the world, a final barrier has formed.

This time, it was Di Anxuan's turn to have a sudden change in expression. The contact between the "polluted fish" and the fishing net caused her to be impacted by the will of pollution.

However, the power of faith fuel on the fishing net still exists, barely enough to resist the will to pollute.

But the "polluted fish" did not give up. After being blocked once, it turned and charged again.

Each collision depletes the power of faith on the Supreme Fishing Net, and the consequences are self-evident when the power of faith is insufficient.

"Su Wang, what should we do now?"

Di Anxuan asked anxiously.

The Supreme Fishing Net was closely related to her, and Di Anxuan knew very well how long it could last.

If the "polluted fish" are allowed to continue charging, they will break through the fishing net in no time.

With Cao Ge, the main attacker, now unable to continue, she can only maintain the defense of the fishing net.

Whether the "polluted fish" problem can be solved seems to rest solely on Su Wang, who is in the best possible condition.

As the strongest among the fishermen, he is the embodiment of all legendary deeds.

Although the situation has deviated too far from the original plan, Di Anxuan believes that this legendary leader will not give up and must have other countermeasures.

They cannot afford the consequences of giving up.

Having lost this last chance created by the "fish," the world will have nothing left to curb pollution.

These fishermen, along with many native creatures around the world, will be trapped in a future of perpetual struggle against pollution.

But this time, there will be no light rising, only an eternal red night.

Upon hearing Di Anxuan's question, Su Wang took a deep breath and asked in return.

"How long can you hold on?"

Di Anxuan thought for two seconds before answering.

"Let it keep crashing. At most, it will last another half minute before the power of faith fuel on my fishing gear runs out."

A hint of helplessness flashed in Su Wang's eyes.

In "Fish's" plan, the main attacker is the Supreme Fish Gunner, but that doesn't mean the other two Supreme Fishermen are incapable of harming "Pollution Fish".

However, compared to spearguns, which are primarily used for killing, fishing rods and nets are less offensive.

Su Wang did indeed have a backup plan for the "fish" scheme.

Whether it will be effective depends on the actual situation.

The fishing rod does not provide any special boost to the power of faith fuel.

However, in the context of "fish," the fisherman's power is a power that targets His essential evolution, and it will definitely have an effect on Him.

What Su Wang needs to do now is to also amplify the damage of the power of faith fuel.

After all, although he had accumulated more faith fuel than Cao Ge, it was still not a thousand times more.

Even if all the fuel of faith were burned now, it would still be impossible to kill the "polluted fish".

The fishing net had less than half a minute left to hold on.

Su Wang dared not delay any longer and immediately began to try out his second plan.

Use the power of faith fuel to power the fisherman's skills and apply skill effects to the "polluted fish".

...

The most practical damage amplification ability that Su Wang controls is [Throat Wind].

The effect is to consume a percentage of your own stamina to increase the damage the target takes.

After he ascended to the highest level, his stamina no longer existed; he relied entirely on faith fuel for existence.

If dealing with ordinary low-dimensional beings, Su Wang could use the Throat-Strike Wind without any cost.

They can use the chokehold technique as many times as they want without any scruples.

However, to make the effects of a skill work on higher-dimensional beings, one must use the power of faith fuel.

Each use of the Throat-Suffocating Wind will consume a certain amount of Faith Fuel reserves.

Unlike stamina, faith fuel cannot be restored by taking potions.

In other words, Su Wang can only use the Faith Choke Wind twice at most before consuming 60% of his current Faith Fuel.

The Burning Faith Fuel can only be perfectly replicated a maximum of 3 times, and the damage amplification will only increase by a maximum of 8 times.

With the faith fuel itself reduced by 60%, the damage is far from enough to eradicate the "polluted fish".

It's even questionable whether it possesses the power of Cao Ge's attack.

Unless the damage multiplier is further increased to an extremely terrifying level.

Su Wang also had ideas on how to achieve this.

Another ability, [Lightning Pulse], is his excessive use of the Throat-Suffocating Wind technique before he became a Supreme Being.

But that's when you're consuming stamina, not faith fuel.

Su Wang had no way of knowing what the consequences of using faith fuel to drive the [lightning pulse] would be, or even what the aftereffects would be.

The situation has now deviated so far from the chosen plan.

Even if Su Wang couldn't predict the consequences, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and give it a try.

The flame of faith burning on the fishing rod suddenly rose a notch higher.
Su Wang's eyes sharpened.

Try to use the power of Faith Fuel to power the [Throat Wind] effect.

The next second, Su Wang's accumulated faith fuel suddenly decreased by 20%.

The flame of faith on the fishing rod surged, instantly enveloping the entire "polluted fish".

The "polluted fish" was once again burned by the fire of faith, and its charge against the high fishing net suddenly stopped, as it struggled painfully.

A hint of joy flashed in Su Wang's eyes.

"effective!"

Using faith as fuel to empower fishermen has indeed proven effective in combating "polluted fish."

The "polluted fish," which had been charging at the fishing net, was once again burned by the fire of faith, and after failing to break through the net several times, it surprisingly gave up charging at the net for a short time. Its eerie and ferocious fish head suddenly turned and looked at the location of Su Wang and the others.

Its enormous body swayed rapidly in the sea of ​​stars, opening its massive maw to bite at the group.

Upon seeing this, Su Wang and the others' expressions changed, and they immediately moved to avoid being bitten by the "polluted fish".

Cao Ge and Di Anxuan were alright; one had already dismantled his fishing gear, and the other's fishing gear was attached to the outside of the world, so he didn't need to control it all the time.

The two instantly teleported a great distance, dodging the attack of the "polluted fish".

Su Wang also had to maintain the lock-on state of the Supreme Fishing Gear on the "polluted fish," and the distance he could move was limited, so he could not go too far away from the target.

This also meant that his new location was closest to the "polluted fish".

Furthermore, the very fishing rod that is currently causing damage to the "polluted fish" makes it hate Su Wang the most.

After its first attempt to bite failed, it twisted its body again and charged towards Su Wang once more.

Seeing this from a distance, Cao Ge and Di Anxuan exclaimed in concern.

"Boss, get out of the way!"

One has already lost its fighting ability, and the other's fishing gear is occupied, so it can't help either.

For now, the two can only watch anxiously, unable to offer any substantial help to Su Wang.

Su Wang dodged the "polluted fish's" second attack with another teleportation.

Hearing their exclamations, he immediately reassured them.

"Don't worry about me, just stay far away."

As a supreme being who has inherited a certain degree of world authority, moving through the stars is not a problem.

The "polluted fish" is locked by the hook and cannot move.

Therefore, the attack of the "polluted fish" will at most cause minor troubles that require constant dodging, and it is basically impossible to actually swallow it.

Su Wang used the Throat-Strike Wind this time to stack damage multipliers, so there was no need to wait for the 10-second effect to maximize its benefits.

The moment he dodged the attack, he used [Throat Strike] a second time.

The stockpile of Faith Fuel instantly plummeted by another 40%.

Without hesitation, Su Wang continued to try to use faith fuel to power the [Perfect Replication] ability.

Surprisingly, this capability-driven approach failed.

It seems that a perfect copy cannot replicate without loss, and it carries the effect of the power of faith: [Throat Wind].

The failure of the perfect copy surprised Su Wang slightly, but it did not affect his subsequent actions.

As long as the other skill can be activated, the outcome will not change.

"Gamble!"

Su Wang gritted his teeth and then tried to use the power of faith fuel to drive the [Lightning Pulse] ability.

Fortunately, this time the driver was successfully activated.

Because the fishhook was inside the "polluted fish," he had to constantly burn faith fuel to resist the pollution and erosion.

The moment the lightning pulse ability took effect, Su Wang couldn't feel any impact from the corrupted will.

At this moment, Su Wang suddenly felt as if he had broken through a barrier and entered a new level.

However, with the "polluted fish" still in front of him, Su Wang didn't have time to fully appreciate the feeling.

Try using the third "Strangle Wind" immediately.

The flame of faith burning on the fishing rod surged several times over once more.
However, what followed was that Su Wang's accumulated faith reserves were instantly emptied, leaving not a single trace.

Su Wang glanced at it briefly.
Seeing that there was no fuel left, a bitter smile involuntarily curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"it is as expected…"

The Supreme Being is born from the fuel of faith.

Cao Ge's attack nearly exhausted his faith fuel, making his figure somewhat illusory.

At this moment, even though Su Wang's faith fuel was completely depleted, his body remained solid, and even his body surface was ablaze with the flames of faith.

From the distance, Cao Ge and Di Anxuan thought he was in an extremely good state.

Only Su Wang knew that he was still able to maintain his form because the effect of the [Lightning Pulse] had not yet ended.

And after the lightning pulse ends, I will probably dissipate immediately.

However, as long as the faith in the Supreme One endures, the Supreme One will never perish; even if he is scattered, there is a possibility of reunion.

But that's only possible if the fuel of faith runs out and the group can reunite the next day.

But Su Wang knew that what he was about to do was extremely crazy, and the consequences were unknown.

"Fight!"

Now that his faith fuel was zero, Su Wang no longer had any reservations.

[Strangling Wind] *4!

[Strangling Wind] *5!

...

[Strangling Wind] *10!

Having discovered that the "Throat-Strike" technique could still be used under the "Lightning Pulse" state, Su Wang used it repeatedly without any hesitation.

In just two seconds, the effect of the choking wind was stacked up to 10 times!
The damage multiplier effect of the choke wind has now increased to 1024 times!
The flame of faith burning on the fishing rod exploded instantly.

It no longer just attaches to the fishing rod, but spreads towards the starry sea.

In just a moment, the surging flames of faith swept across the surrounding ten thousand-meter-wide star sea.

A lotus blooms amidst a sea of ​​stars, a sea of ​​fire.

Cao Ge and Di Anxuan, who were in the distance, were stunned by this scene.

Cao Ge blurted out the words in a murmur.

"Holy crap!"

"Why didn't the boss mention that he also has Super Saiyan blood?!"

...

The "polluted fish," consumed by the sudden surge of faith, no longer had the strength to chase and bite Su Wang.

Its enormous body was then engulfed in flames, struggling and thrashing in the sea of ​​fire.

Having come this far, Su Wang no longer considered the potential consequences.

He has only one thought: to make this "polluting fish" disappear from the world completely!
With the current damage increase of 1024 times, it is actually enough to meet Su Wang's estimated damage.

But considering that the "polluted fish" had also swallowed that drop of filthy blood...

That is the blood dripping from a higher-dimensional being, and the source of all pollution.

Su Wang couldn't be sure that after the next step, that drop of tainted blood wouldn't become another unplanned problem.

Therefore, Su Wang decided to continue increasing the multiplier.

The 11th strangulation... 2048 times!
The 12th strangulation... 4096 times!
...

The 20th strangulation... 1048576 times!
With the effects of 20 instances of the Choking Wind stacked up, the damage amplification has reached a terrifying 1 million times!
The surging flames of faith flared up once more.

In an instant, it almost spread throughout the entire starry sea.

Both Cao Ge and Di Anxuan were moved an unknown distance by the spreading sea of ​​fire of faith.

The "polluted fish" and Su Wang's figure were no longer visible.
All that can be seen is the endless sea of ​​faith, filling the latitudes and dimensions of the starry sky.

And at the very center of the sea of ​​fire of faith is also the source of the sea of ​​fire.

Su Wang discovered that after reaching 20 choking winds, he could no longer add more.

It's as if we've already touched some kind of higher-level barrier.

But that's enough!

Su Wang no longer needs to make a move.

The "polluted fish" could not hold on even under the self-igniting flame of faith.

In the sea of ​​fire, the enormous and bizarre body of the "polluted fish" rapidly melted away, disappearing in an instant.

However, what replaced it was a drop of blood suspended in the sea of ​​fire of faith!
Within the drop of blood, a two-headed fish shadow lurked.

The fishhook was hanging outside the drop of blood, yet it seemed unable to break through some dimension and truly hook the drop of blood.

The surging flames of faith seemed to encounter some kind of obstacle after touching the drop of blood a certain distance away, and were unable to burn the drop of blood, which was only the size of a person, completely.

Upon seeing this, Su Wang smiled slightly.

"Fish... there are too many loopholes in this plan."

Just as he had worried, this drop of high-dimensional tainted blood did indeed become an unexpected hidden danger.

Even if Cao Ge had previously eliminated the consciousness of the "polluted fish" with a single blow, it would probably not have been able to extinguish this drop of filthy blood.

But it doesn't matter now.

Su Wang increased the strangulation force by such a large amount in order to completely eliminate this last hidden danger.

The flame of faith could not break through the barrier of tainted blood because Su Wang did not have enough fuel of faith to unleash its full power.

This sea of ​​fire of faith is merely the residual force of the intensified strangulation.

Now, Su Wang still has one last offensive move.

[Endurance Overload] Capability!
After being promoted to the highest level, Su Wang discovered a new change in his endurance overload ability.

It's no longer about accumulating excessive stamina, but about accumulating an overload of faith fuel.

For every point of Faith Fuel Su Wang gains, he will add 10 points of Overload Faith Fuel.

Even when Su Wang consumes faith fuel, the accumulated overloaded faith fuel will not decrease accordingly.

Since ascending to the highest level, the amount of overloaded faith fuel has accumulated to an extremely terrifying level.

When dealing with the "strange fish with severed tail",

If it weren't for the extraordinary power that replenished the supply, Su Wang would have been prepared to use the long-accumulated overloaded faith fuel.

Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, this ability has become the last available means of attack.

Seeing that the lightning pulse duration was running out, Su Wang didn't hesitate and immediately used the [Endurance Overload] ability on the Bloodstained Blood.

The fishhook, unable to break through the barrier of filthy blood, underwent a qualitative change at this moment.

What was once an insurmountable barrier now appears as fragile as paper.

The instant the barrier of tainted blood shattered, all the flames of faith instantly retreated to the tip of the fishhook, piercing through the blood droplets and striking the two-headed fish phantom within.
