I joined the group chat as Aizen in the Ninja World

Gangplank's expression was grim. Honestly, he was truly filled with fear. As Illaoi had said, she truly didn't dare face him now. He was no longer the high-spirited pirate he once was.

Back then, he was ignorant and fearless, unafraid of any hardship or obstacle. But after receiving divine grace, his strength increased dramatically, and he dominated the entire Bilgewater. With hundreds of followers cheering for him, he had become addicted to comfort.

He didn't want to fight for his life anymore, nor did he want to take risks at sea anymore. He just wanted to protect his own little piece of land and be a local tyrant who did whatever he wanted.

But this dream was eventually shattered by the arrival of Xiaonan and Sarah. Faced with this inevitable death, he did not face the challenge head-on like he had done before, but instead loudly called for the protection of the gods.

In this case, it is natural that the gods would be disappointed in him.

"I disagree." Just as Gangplank was hesitating and feeling extremely irritated, Xiaonan's indifferent voice suddenly came. "You can't take them away today."

979 The Power of God

Ok?

Hearing her words, Illaoi, Gangplank and Sarah all showed a look of astonishment, and cast their eyes on Xiaonan who had been standing next to the tentacles without knowing when.

"What do you mean?" Illaoi frowned, a serious expression on her face.

As a messenger of the gods, she could naturally sense the surging energy within Xiaonan. Coupled with the fact that he had previously almost crushed Hecarim, Illaoi couldn't help but be cautious.

"I should ask you this." Xiaonan said coldly with an indifferent expression, "As a priest of the gods, do you think it's fair for you to do this?"

On the surface, it was to give Sarah a reasonable chance for revenge, but Xiaonan understood that the other party actually had selfish motives.

If it were truly fair, Gangplank would be paralyzed by now. The sea beast priest's painstaking efforts to heal him had already broken the principle of fairness.

He seemed very disappointed with Gangplank, even showing a hint of sarcasm. But Xiaonan could still sense the concern behind the sarcasm.

This Ornn must still have feelings for Gangplank.

If Gangplank wins the duel with Sarah, he will naturally gain the favor of the sea beasts again. If Gangplank loses, he can still be saved under the care of Illaoi.

"This is God's instruction." Illaoi also understood that the other party saw through her thoughts, and still spoke calmly.

"Your God also controls love affairs?" Xiaonan sneered.

In fact, judging by its appearance, it was clear that this sea beast god was not a good god at all. Of course, it might not be an evil god either, but it certainly did not care about the grudges and feelings of mortals.

As a sea beast priestess, Illaoi certainly had some influence in front of the sea beast god. If she wanted to protect Gangplank, the god would certainly not stop her.

If you understand the key point, you will understand that the so-called will of God is actually the will of her, the sea beast priest.

"How dare you!" Illaoi pointed a finger at Xiaonan and said coldly, "You blasphemer will be punished!"

hum.

The huge tentacle rose up and slapped towards Xiaonan.

"Are you anxious?" Xiaonan curled up the corners of his mouth and pressed the hilt of the knife with his right hand.

scoff.

Silver light shone in the air, and the giant tentacle was directly split apart. The broken tentacle flew into the sky, and instantly turned into a dark green spot of light, gradually dissipating.

"My god must not be insulted!" Illaoi's eyes widened as she stared at Xiaonan. "You must apologize."

"Sure." Xiaonan turned his wrist and made a sword flower in mid-air. "If you can do it."

Rumble.

Just as she finished speaking, dozens of tentacles suddenly broke through the surface of the sea, like long dark green snakes, sweeping towards Xiaonan.

"Heh." Xiaonan chuckled and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Swish swish.

In the air, a cold silver light kept flashing.

pat, pat.

The tentacles broke apart one by one, and dark green fluorescent light flew all over the sky.

Xiaonan's blade didn't stop, but went straight for Illaoi's heart. A silver line shone in the air, its cold light making one's scalp tingle.

Illaoi's pupils suddenly constricted, and a stream of turquoise light erupted from her body. These beams condensed into an oval shield on the surface of her body, shining brightly.

laugh.

The sword blade pierced straight into the shield, but was stuck and could not move forward any further.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Illaoi's eyes lit up with a fluorescent glow. A strange dark green tentacle emerged from her body and rushed straight towards Xiaonan. "Accept the trial!"

Click.

The tentacles penetrated Xiaonan's body, but did not extract her soul as Illaoi had expected.

"What?" A surprised expression appeared on Ornn's face, and then he felt a pain in his abdomen.

pat, pat.

Crimson blood gushed from Illaoi's abdomen, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face. "Why?"

"You want to ask why you can't have any effect on my soul, but you want to ask why I can break your defense?" Xiaonan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"I want to know the answers to both." Illaoi answered frankly.

"Guess." Xiaonan didn't answer directly, instead teasing. "You!" Illaoi seemed enraged, a surge of powerful energy suddenly erupting from her body. This energy shot straight into the sky, even breaking through the remaining dark clouds.

Under the influence of this power, Sarah and Gangplank's bodies trembled unconsciously, as if some higher-level creature was reviving in Ornn's body.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?" Gangplank looked horrified, as if he had realized something. "Don't summon that monster over here, I don't want to die yet!"

As the Sea Beast Priest's old lover, the former Pirate King knew something. He was well aware of Illaoi's current state and understood the divine descent.

As the name suggests, God's descent means the arrival of the true God.

Gangplank envisioned the terrifying, tentacle-like monster gradually reviving within Illaoi. By then, not only him, but all of Bilgewater would likely be destroyed.

Boom.

However, just as this aura erupted from Ornn's body, some restrictions on Xiaonan's body seemed to have been released, and a strange wave burst out.

As this wave of fluctuations arose, Sarah and Planck began to hear the chirping of birds.

This wave of energy was comparable to Illaoi's aura, even rivaling it. As the two opposing auras collided, the sea surged and the wind raged.

"It's you?!" Illaoi seemed to have seen something in Xiaonan, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face. "So that's how it is, you've actually revived?"

The energy gradually converged, and Illaoi returned to his mortal state.

At some point, a bluebird appeared on Xiaonan's shoulder. Its voice was clear and crisp. It looked at Sarah and said in human language, "She's mine, Melrose."

980 Pig Teammate

Skirt-Lifting Maniac: ??? This giant tentacle monster is actually named Melus?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Yeah, what?

Skirt-lifting maniac: Sister Xiaonan, don't you... think there's something strange about this? Doesn't it feel strange? Such a huge tentacle monster, so powerful! And it's actually called something like that?

Book Artist: I understand what you mean, just like Godzilla's name is Xiaobai, right?

Hatchet Girl: Come to think of it, it's true. Melus, this tentacle monster is actually female?

Skirt-lifting maniac: This name must be female, right? The book in my mind is destroyed.

The Villain of Soul Society: What book?

Upskirt Maniac: Tentacle Monster vs. Magical Girl Ben.

Curly-haired boy: Humph! You are such a dirty girl. I suggest you go and wash your brain.

Skirt-lifting maniac: No matter how dirty I am, I am still cleaner than you!

The Villain of Soul Society: So, this Sea Beast God has reached an agreement with the Storm Goddess behind your family?

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: Well, I guess so.

After the message was sent, Konan's expression remained nonchalant. The so-called agreement was actually the Sea Beast God Melus's wish for Sarah to participate in his trial.

If Sarah passed the trial, she would receive Melus's divine grace and become a being that surpassed Gangplank. Failure was no big deal; at most, she would suffer mental damage.

Letting Sarah participate in the trial was what Melus wanted, and the condition she gave was that Sarah could take revenge as she pleased.

"Why are you so anxious?" Instead of agreeing, Janna asked a question.

He felt that Melus's condition was not right, and seemed to be eager to bestow his divine grace upon Sarah. As for whether or not she could pass the trial, that was not even a question.

Both Melus and Janna could see that Sarah possessed a powerful talent. Such a person, in other words, was the child of destiny.

"Those things are starting to pay attention to this place." Melus spoke through Ornn's body.

Those things...

Janna took a breath, clearly understanding the implication of Melus's words. To be able to command the vigilance of True Gods like them, the other party must be of the same level, or even higher.

The beings Melus was referring to were none other than the so-called gods of Mount Targon. They had been quiet during Shurima's heyday, only to begin stirring up trouble when Shurima was completely defeated.

Its purpose is to divide the beliefs of various ethnic groups on the Valoran continent and gain more powerful power.

Since their goal was to divide the faith, they naturally didn't want local gods like Janna and Melus to get in the way. Clearing away obstacles like them was the Titans' top priority.

Melus didn't want to sit and wait for death, so she had to speed up the progress and improve her abilities.

Giving his divine grace to Sarah meant a kind of soul-binding. The stronger Sarah's power was, and the faster she improved, the more benefits he could gain.

Compared to Gangplank, Melus was more optimistic about Sarah, so he was able to sell Gangplank so easily.

Most gods are selfish, and Melus is no exception.

Understanding all of this, Janna looked at Gangplank with an inexplicable pity. But she said nothing more, waiting for Sarah's choice and opinion.

As expected, Sarah ultimately agreed to the trial. However, she had no intention of claiming her reward, instead deciding to spare Gangplank's life and then kill him herself after completing the trial.

She wasn't being merciful and wanting to forgive the other person's sins; she simply didn't want to accept charity. If she took this opportunity to kill Gangplank, it wouldn't be considered revenge.

Watching the giant sea beast carrying Sarah away, Xiaonan smiled gently. "By the time we meet again, she'll surely be a completely transformed person." And his friendship with Sarah was already secured at Bilgewater Harbor.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, and the next step is to prepare to go to Shurima with Cassiopena.

In reality, Cassiopeia was feeling a headache. Looking at her sister, who had long burgundy hair, she took a breath and asked, "What's the outcome of your deal?"

"There's no deal. They refused." Katarina casually sat on the cabin sofa, fiddling with her throwing knives. "Next, I'll personally write to the Kingdom Advisory Council and lead my army to Piltover."

"I knew it..." Cassiopena sighed helplessly, covering her forehead. "Letting you, an idiot, serve as a diplomat was the biggest mistake those idiots made!"

"What did you say?" Catalina narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with murderous intent. "Don't think I won't attack you just because you're my sister."

"It is because you are my sister that you are still alive." Cassiopena retorted with a cold expression.

In terms of individual strength alone, even a hundred Cassiopenas tied together would not be a match for Katarina. As a woman who could rival the might of Demacia, Katarina's strength was unquestionable.

But in human society, individual strength is not the standard for measuring overall strength. With the resources and intelligence Cassiopena possessed, assassinating her sister would surely be easy.

Catalina knew this, but she was not afraid at all. She said provocatively, "You can try."

"My dear ladies," Draven, standing behind Katarina, said, seeing the tense atmosphere, "it's obvious there's no point in you arguing like this. Why don't you just set up a fighting ring?"

His eyes were full of playfulness and madness, and he was obviously serious about making such a suggestion. He didn't care which of the two sisters lived or died, he just wanted to have fun.

"Shut up!" Cassiopena glared at him angrily and said, "You've been a lieutenant, but you haven't played any role at all. When you return to Black Castle, expect to be punished."

"Do you want me to continue guarding the Colosseum?" Draven was not afraid at all, but said excitedly.

Grass.

Cassiopeña couldn't help but want to curse, why are all her teammates such idiots?

981 Dark Clouds

call.

Cassiopena took a few deep breaths, her mind gradually calming down. She looked at her silly sister and Draven across from her and said, "This matter ends here. I will personally report this to the Noble Advisory Committee when I return to Black Castle."

"No need, I can do it myself." Catalina decisively rejected the other party's proposal.

She felt that her slutty sister wanted to take credit and even get her hands on military power, and then she would lead a large group of black-armored soldiers to sweep across Piltover.

Then, relying on his military achievements, he became a high-ranking general, completely suppressing himself!

No, absolutely not!
