From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 376 Schemes in the Deep Sea
Almost at the same time that Elton heard the song originating from Poseidon, several other ships in different parts of the same ocean simultaneously discovered hidden treasures.

Austin discovered a crystal head in the waters off Haiti that was almost unrecognizable.
Meanwhile, the fleet from Northern Europe heard the war songs of the ancient Viking era.
The English fleet spotted what appeared to be a discarded log in their patrol area.

Meanwhile, a wealthy fleet from the Middle East also discovered a drum that looked like human skin...

It was as if all the extraordinary beings had gathered here at that moment. They had all discovered different treasures and salvaged a series of ancient artifacts and even crew notes from the vicinity of these treasures.

Thus, amidst the almost suspicious speculation of many observers, the entire Caribbean Sea was plunged into a bizarre "digging race."

They were all convinced that they had found the treasure buried by pirates, and they also found the answer in the logs of the surrounding ships.

"Blackbeard's greatest power comes from a special scimitar. It is said that this scimitar was forged by fairies and has the ability to make people walk on the sea as if it were flat land!"

"Many pirates rely on extraordinary items they find at sea to fight against the navies of various countries..."

"The powerful British navy discovered what appears to be black magic belonging to the Mayan Empire in Jamaica, and has since been rampaging across the oceans!"

"France and the Catholic Church cooperated, relying on priests and bishops to accompany them, and opened up a completely new route with holy light and prayer!"

"The Dutch East India Company sought out witch doctors and priests in sub-Saharan Africa to combat the increasingly serious scurvy..."

"The dangers at sea are countless. All sorts of sea monsters crawl out from all kinds of places and devour every ship... There are also sirens who sing and turn a ship into a ghost ship... And there are people who were perfectly fine before, but after going to sea, they turn into sea monsters with gills and fish scales..."

Austin was the busiest. After reviewing the documents and learning about what had happened, he decided to transmit all the information from here to the White House, including the crystal head he had discovered.

Almost immediately, the golden retriever sent a message: "The Second Fleet is on its way. Keep this crystal head safe. Your lives are not as important as it!"

So Austin could only look at the documents and materials he had gathered from the area while waiting for the fleet to arrive.

These materials were not translated by him, of course; rather, they were transmitted directly to the White House by the scholars on board, where they were translated by a very strong team of experts.

However, Austin also roughly understood what was being said. He was surprised to discover that these great pirates from 300 or even 400 years ago actually relied on extraordinary items from this sea area.

Those powerful pirates could even rely on these special supernatural items or powers to contend with the Royal Navy of that era!

But it's still a pity, what does this have to do with Austin?

Because he is a South American with very obvious Hispanic features, some people even suspected him of being an Apache spy during a previous mission.

Even now, as the leader of the team, there are still two people constantly watching him to prevent him from doing anything rash.

He knew why. In America, even white people were divided into different classes, let alone outsiders like him.
Especially now that the worship of the gods in South America is becoming increasingly powerful, he faces even more constraints.

"Hmph! Aren't they just afraid that our gods will return and drive them off this continent?" Austin thought with a bit of boredom. Unfortunately, he couldn't turn back now. His life was bound to America, and even if he wanted to break free, it would be impossible.

“It’s not impossible.” Just then, a peculiar voice rang in Austin’s mind.

Austin was startled. "What was that sound?"

He looked around but couldn't see anything, which made him even more panicked. "Who? Who is it? Who's there?"

Then, he found himself seemingly pulled into a pure black space where he could see nothing but the almost indescribable darkness descending from all directions!
Fear lingered in Austin's heart, but besides fear, a glimmer of hope also appeared in his heart.

Having had much contact with the supernatural, he could guess that this was most likely the work of some supernatural monster or something else. He hoped it was a god, so that he could get rid of this frustrating identity and gain more power and respect! It was because of Austin's thoughts that the darkness in front of him gradually dissipated, and he saw a special and enormous being in front of him!

This being possessed characteristics that left a deep impression on every Inca, those mythical features that belonged to them: feathers, headdress, robes—everything seemed to touch upon Austen's memories.

He suddenly knelt down. "Your Majesty, you must have a special request for me when you summoned me here?"

"You may call me Kuchamama, a subject of the Inca Empire!" the unknown deity said to him very gently. "I sensed the decline of the empire, I sensed the death of my people, and therefore I have returned to the earth!"

"What a pity, my slumber caused you so much suffering!"

Upon hearing this, Austin was speechless with emotion. "Your Majesty, you have finally returned! This is good news! We still have a chance, don't we?"

“Yes, we still have a chance!” Kuchamama’s words seemed to carry a unique power as they reached out to Austin. “So, are you willing to dedicate everything for the resurgence of the Empire, my High Priest?”

Upon hearing this, Austin became extremely excited.

High Priest? He can become a High Priest? A true High Priest, capable of guiding the rise and fall of a race, guiding people to rebuild a nation, and even standing on equal footing with America?

He was certainly willing to be the leader of one or even multiple kingdoms alongside that "High Priest Karl".

This is much better than being a doormat in America, even though he is highly regarded by his boss Gao. His skin color has already determined his future potential.

“Of course I would, Your Majesty, what should I do?” Austin said loudly.

“A long, long time ago, we fought a long war with the gods of several pantheons in this sea!” Kuchamama said casually. “Because of this war, we lost contact with your world for a full thousand years!”

"And now, the gods have returned. The Creator and the chief gods have returned, and the place of their return is in that graveyard of war!"

"Go, my High Priest, place the offerings before you in that graveyard, break the seal, and the gods will return to this world completely to begin their reckoning with all the outward gods!"

Hearing this, Austin slowly nodded, "I will do so, Your Majesty!"

At that moment, he felt something unusual about his body. An immense power gathered within him, followed by the voice of Kuchamama, "Go! I have bestowed upon you the power of the sea. Now you are the priest of me, the sea god Kuchamama!"

Austin's face then showed a truly ecstatic joy. He looked up abruptly and found himself back on his ship, having returned from the endless darkness.

As he raised his hand, the ocean before him suddenly parted under his will!
It was at this moment that Austin truly came to realize that he had become a chosen one of the gods. "Then, it's time for me to put down the sacrifice!" Austin thought silently.

But his limited knowledge failed to tell him that there was no such deity as Kuchamama among the gods of the Inca Empire or even the entire South American pantheon!

"Hehehe..." No one could hear it, but at the moment Austin made his final judgment, the crystal skull emitted an eerie laugh!
"Who says that only the power and artifacts of those hateful gods remain in this ocean? We are still alive! Kukulkan! We still live on this land, and we will return to bring you destruction and despair!"

The sound of clenched teeth echoed in the area, along with several similar sounds:

"Hehehe, who can argue with that?"

"We are all losers in the war of the gods, but none of us are dead!"

"Hahahahahaha!"
