Alligator's Ark of Tomorrow

Whenever this power of creation is needed, it can help Gard when he needs it most.

Entrusting a portion of the Ascension Power to the commander of the Argoll fleet is a guarantee that he will be able to contact Argoll's expeditionary fleet.

The submarine carrying Laurentina and the others did not leave with the lifeboats escorted by the Argonauts. Instead, with Isamaya's help, it was led away from the city by the last small group of sea creatures.

After Isamaya's main body was defeated, her powers as a newly born Sea Child are being stripped away. Perhaps before long, she will become an ordinary Sea Child in the eyes of other Sea Children, no different from anyone else.

This is the price of losing as a newborn Sea Child in the battle between newborns.

Time is running out for Gard.

Although his initial idea was to join forces with Agor to fight against the Sea God, and kill the Sea God in exchange for some time to continue growing.

However, the existence of the Deep Sea Church and the appearance of Isamaya caused Gard to change his initial ideas and choose a longer-term path.

However, with the failure of Isamaya, the plan to achieve peaceful development between Haizi and Agor has now completely failed.

Having lost her powers as a newborn, Isamaya was no longer able to command the Sea Child.

In fact, the plan of Gard and the others had already failed the moment the Corrupted Heart chose to bring Hyde to Stranlar.

Even Gard could not intervene in the battle between the newborns.

Clearly, Isamaya's true form, as the later-awakened newborn, could not possibly defeat the Corrupted Heart, which had awakened earlier, regardless of whether it had the ability to communicate with the masses.

Similarly, the Corrupted Heart faces the spreading branches of the Deep Blue Tree and the lifeblood of the Origin.

The same applies.

Instead of leaving with Laurentina and the others, Gard learned from Isamaya about the Heart of Corruption and her discord. When he used his Ascension to sever the connection between her body and the multitude, he became the Heart of Corruption's primary target.

He cannot leave, for wherever he goes, the corrupt heart will find him.

His corrupted heart could no longer give him a chance to grow; he was left with only one choice.

"The hunter...became...my...blood relative..."

In the deep red sea, the hundreds-of-meters-long sea dragon was covered in wounds. The battle between the Corrupted Heart and Isamaya's true form had not left it unscathed.

However, its injuries are healing at a visible speed.

Almost every second, red seawater surged into His body, filling His wounds.

This applies to both Him and the sea creatures that wander in the Red Sea.

"What if I refuse?"

Using the power of ascension to reach the place where Isamaya's main body and the Heart of Corruption were fighting, Gard could see countless sea creatures above his head, as densely packed as grains of sand on a beach, and asked with a smile.

Beneath him lay a creature as enormous as the sea dragon that roamed above his head; this was Isamaya, the very body that had once fought Gard.

But now, He is no longer the enemy.

"Honestly, even though this is your first battle, don't you trust me? I'm the man you chose."

As Gard gently stroked the scales on the Chitinous God's body, a wry smile appeared on his face.

He suddenly thought of Yaletog. Whether it's a giant beast or a sea creature, trying to seduce these non-human beings always comes at a price!

You don't even dare to go near them in person, so what makes you think you like them?

However, it doesn't really matter to him.

Because he was no longer a pure human, but a crocodile-man.

Don't overthink it, and don't have any psychological burden.

"Let's make a bet on the origin of life."

Ignoring the corrupting heart above him, Gard spoke thus, facing the deep sea where he was, facing the entire ocean.

“This is a war for survival. Since Isamaya has chosen me, I must prove my worth and prove that the path she has chosen is the right one.”

"Now, I'm going to launch another challenge here."

"As a member of the Isamaya bloodline!"

......

Chapter 84 You are not my blood relative, I am your blood relative!

No one can control the future. No matter how meticulous the plan, it is impossible to guarantee that things will go in the direction you want.

There is only one way to do whatever you want.

Become powerful enough!

So powerful that even if it cheats in the future, it can slap it back.

Is Gard strong enough now?

Gard didn't know.

But he knew he had no way to escape. He couldn't just leave with Laurentina and the others, leaving Isamaya's true form behind.

Yes, Hai Si would not kill his own people.

Even in the battle between two newborns, after a victor was decided, the Corrupted Heart did not kill Isamaya's true form.

But is Isamaya still the same Isamaya after losing her powers?

Gard could not guarantee that.

The gigantic body of the Chitinous God is crumbling; after He lost to the Corrupted Heart, the path He chose is no longer the one the multitude explores.

Since it is not needed, then its enormous body is nothing more than a burden that wastes nutrients.

Even for the god of Chitin, this was the destined ending.

Because He was unable to actually conceive a descendant of a singularity.

Even though He accepted the request of the individual He had differentiated from to help that singularity block His own kind, He had long anticipated His failure.

So why would He help that singularity?

Looking back, even the god of Chitin couldn't understand it.

Isamaya is Isamaya.

He is Him.

Although Isamaya is an individual differentiated from Him, they can never be equated; they are different.

However, one crocodile-man did not understand this.

In the eyes of the crocodile people, Isamaya and the god Chitin are one, and if the god Chitin has a problem, Isamaya will definitely be affected as well.

Perhaps that's how it started.

However, their connection of consciousness has been severed since a very long time ago.

It was Gard who did this.

The first time, Gard used the Ascension to sever Isamaya's connection with the god Chitin, and from that moment on, Isamaya began to develop a semblance of self.

They were originally from the same source, but from that moment on, they began to become different.

The second time, Gard used his ascending power to completely sever the connection between the Chitinous God and the Great Crowd. This time, it allowed Isamaya to truly develop her own emotions.

This is something that the Chitinous God does not possess.

He simply approved of Isamaya's actions, approved of the individual he had separated from, and believed that the path she had chosen was correct.

Is it really correct?

The god of Jidingzhi did not know.

He only knew that everything had come to an end, that He had lost to the corrupted heart, and that His path was wrong, and that the masses no longer needed Him.

He is about to fall asleep.

But at that very moment, a broad, thick hand touched His scales.

Compared to His enormous size, this hand was so tiny that even the owner of the hand was smaller than a single scale on His body.

However, He heard the story told by the master of the palm, and He heard the bet made by the master of the palm.

He heard the owner of the palm say:

As a blood relative of Isamaya!

He clearly didn't have the same blood as them flowing in his veins.

Is this considered His blood relative?

The god of Chitin did not know, but at this moment, He wanted to raise His head again, to swim in the sea once more, and to speak to His kin who had defeated Him.

"I haven't lost yet!"

In that instant, the Ascension Power that Gard had infused into Isamaya's body began to boil. In order to sever the connection between Isamaya's body and the group, Gard had infused more than one portion of Ascension Power into her body.

Now, these ascending powers no longer need to fulfill their duties.

The god of Chitin was astonished to discover that those mysterious and dazzling powers were gradually merging into his body. His body was adapting, and his form was evolving in a direction that was beyond his imagination.

The Chitin God was unaware of the existence of Ascended Beings, and with only these Ascended powers, there was no way to transform a sea dragon hundreds of meters long into an Ascended Being.

However, he discovered that he had a special connection with the crocodile-man beside him.

A connection similar to that between Haiss and Haiss.

Yes, He failed in the battle against the corrupted heart.

But His failure was not a bad thing.

"You are not my blood relative."

The voice of the Chitinous God echoed in Gard's mind.

"I am your blood relative!"

The instant the sound faded, Gard saw that the deep blue sea dragon behind him had changed. In just a few seconds, the deep blue scales of the Chitin God had all turned white.

Interspersed among the white scales are streaks of gold.

This made the appearance of the Chitinous God and all the Sealings almost qualitatively different.

If looking at a group of sea creatures is like seeing a group of indescribable monsters, then seeing the Corrupted Heart and the Chitinous God before was like seeing two monster leaders.

Now, the Chitinous God gives people an incomparably holy feeling.

Moreover, the instant the power of ascension merged into His body, He reconnected to the Sea Heirs and announced to them that He had changed, but He was still a Sea Heir!

The change occurred at that moment.

If the consciousness that had previously gathered in the Red Sea had dismissed Gard's words, now it began to hesitate and waver.

Even if only instinct remains, everything the primordial lifeline does is still for the sake of Hai Si's better survival. And now, the changes in the Chitin God seem to have awakened His dormant consciousness.

Finally, the red substance in the seawater gradually faded.

The primordial destiny chose to acknowledge that it would no longer interfere in the conflict between Gard and the Corrupted Heart, just as it would not have interfered in the battle between the Chitinous God and the Corrupted Heart in the first place.

However, the god of chitin has already lost the battle against the corrupted heart.

He no longer has the power to control Hai Si.

Even though the Primal Lineage has chosen to abandon its interference in the battle between Gard and the Heart of Corruption, the Heart of Corruption cannot abandon the path it has chosen.

This time, facing Gard, He doesn't need to fight one-on-one like He did with the Chitinous God before.

"Wu~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The cry of the corrupted heart echoed among the Sea Clan.

Millions, tens of millions, or hundreds of millions? Gard didn't bother to count how many Sealings were gathered above his head; he simply patted the head of the Chitinous God beneath him.

"Can we still fight?"

"Ah."

A pleasant female voice echoed in Gard's mind, and the crocodile man's mouth stretched to his ears.

"Let's go all out!"
