Skirk gazed at Bai Xiuxiu's eyes, which were as deep-blue as the ocean and brimming with supplication, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.
She had originally had no intention of getting too involved in the conflicts of this unfamiliar world. But at this moment, Bai Xiuxiu's utterly sorrowful plea struck a chord in her heart.
The last trace of deliberation in Skirk's mind finally began to tilt.
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the lingering ache of her internal injuries, and a sharp light instantly flashed in her eyes.
"Keep up with me."
The moment the words left her mouth, Skirk was already like an ethereal afterimage. Encased with Bai Xiuxiu, she instantly crossed the vast, boundless sea surface, appearing at the edge of the chaotic battle between the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan and Osial's summoned creatures.
Skirk pointed two fingers like a sword and lightly sliced through the void.
This seemingly casual movement did not cause an earth-shattering commotion.
However, the enormous whirlpool that was frantically gathering power in front of Osial was cut by a sword aura. Its rotation instantly stagnated, then fell into disarray, finally collapsing like a falling mountain, utterly dispersing. The powerful aquatic elemental monsters being bred within it were also annihilated along with it.
This precise and highly efficient strike was like timely rain, instantly alleviating the immense pressure the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan was enduring head-on.
Xiaobai, the King of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks, had just torn a water elemental monster to shreds when the abnormal and powerful energy fluctuation made her turn sharply. Her vigilant gaze instantly locked onto the suddenly appearing Skirk and Bai Xiuxiu.
Especially Skirk, the aura emanating from her was profound and mysterious, actually a bit stronger than the Sea God Island's Great Priestess, Bo Saixi. This caused a surge of intense astonishment in Xiaobai's heart.
"Who are you?"
Xiaobai's massive shark head opened slightly, and she spoke in human language, her voice carrying a trace of fatigue that others could hardly detect.
"One who steps in when injustice is seen."
Skirk was concise with her words, her gaze remaining fixed on the furiously roaring Osial in the distance.
Skirk offered no further explanation and struck again.
The sword light was like an agile fish swimming in the gap between reality and illusion. Each flash precisely cut down a demon creature, significantly easing the pressure on the Devil Soul Great White Shark clan.
Xiaobai deeply glanced at Skirk, then noticed the blue-haired girl behind her looking at herself with an extremely complex expression—a mixture of excitement, sorrow, and deep respect. Xiaobai's heart inexplicably trembled.
But the battle was urgent, leaving no time for her to ponder.
"Thank you for your assistance. The Devil Soul Great White Shark Clan, follow me to attack and hold down the Demon God's tentacles."
Xiaobai suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, let out a spirited long howl, and once again led her people to charge fiercely like arrows toward the flank of Osial's colossal body.
Just at this moment, a pillar of golden light suddenly erupted from the Sea God Temple at the center of Sea God Island, illuminating the sky and earth in a golden hue, like a pillar supporting the heavens.
The Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi floated within the pillar of light, tightly clutching the massive golden scepter. The sacred and majestic phantom of the Sea God faintly appeared behind her, as if a deity from ancient times had personally descended upon the world.
Concurrently, the Seven Sacred Pillars simultaneously let out a deafening rumble. Seven slightly thinner but equally magnificent golden light pillars shot into the sky, tightly connecting with Bo Saixi's power, forming a vast and intricate golden array that firmly protected the entire Sea God Island like an impregnable shield.
"Light of the Sea God, protect my people!"
Bo Saixi's expression was solemn. Her scepter pointed toward Osial, and the boundless divine power instantly transformed into countless golden arrows. They poured down like torrential rain onto the Demon God's body. The arrows landed on the Demon God, letting out sizzling sounds of purification, as if cleansing the world's evil.
Osial felt the threat and let out a painful, angry roar. Its multiple heads thrashed wildly, gathering an even more terrifying and malevolent energy, which finally transformed into an immensely thick, dark-blue light pillar. Carrying the momentum of world-ending destruction, it violently slammed into the golden shield protecting Sea God Island.
"Boom—!!!"
The colossal sound was as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. The golden shield violently swayed, its light flickering erratically, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.
Even the guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars trembled violently, their faces instantly turning pale.
After all, this was the angry full-power strike of a Rank 100 true god. Even with the protection of the Sea God's Light, it was by no means easily withstood.
Skirk's eyes narrowed instantly upon seeing this.
She knew that she could not let Osial attack the barrier so recklessly, or Sea God Island would be doomed to eternal destruction.
She forced a breath, completely disregarding her own injuries. Her figure flashed, and she appeared directly above one of Osial's heads.
She gripped her hands in the air, and a longsword condensed from extreme cold instantly appeared in her grasp. The sword exuded a chilling aura, seemingly capable of freezing all things in the world.
She slashed down fiercely at the massive Demon God's head. A subtle but terrifyingly powerful sword aura sliced through space. Wherever it passed, even light and energy seemed to be ruthlessly swallowed and severed.
"Roar!"
Osial felt a truly fatal threat. This seemingly insignificant creature's attack could actually directly damage its origin.
It immediately abandoned its attack on the barrier. Several heads simultaneously turned toward Skirk, dark-blue light frantically gathering in their mouths, containing the aura of destruction.
Skirk retreated after one strike, her movement agile. But facing the energy bombardment of several strikes, each equivalent to the full power of a Titled Douluo of the Limit, the light surrounding her body intensely fluctuated, and a trace of crimson blood spilled from the corner of her mouth again.
Her severe injuries were greatly affecting her performance; she could no longer maintain peak combat power for long.
The battlefield fell into a stalemate for a time, but the situation remained extremely unfavorable for Sea God Island.
Bo Saixi and the Seven Sacred Pillars needed to exert their full strength to maintain the protection, making it impossible for them to launch an active offense.
Skirk was fighting alone and injured, making each attack increasingly difficult.
The Devil Soul Great White Shark clan, led by Xiaobai, could only conduct harassing attacks, unable to inflict decisive damage on Osial.
And Osial's energy seemed endless. If this sustained consumption continued, Sea God Island's defense would eventually be broken.
It was at this critical, precarious moment—
"Whoo—!!!"
A long, ancient whale song echoed from the distant horizon.
The sound was not sharp or piercing; instead, it carried a deep rhythm that soothed the soul, yet the indescribable pressure and power contained within it instantly spread like invisible ripples across the entire battlefield.
The clamorous battle cries, the Demon God's roars, and the ocean waves' furious howls were all suppressed by this power at this moment. The world seemed to be left with only this whale song resonating through time and space.
Following this, a sudden change occurred in the originally tumultuous and chaotic sea flank of Osial.
A colossal, unimaginably large phantom broke through the deep sea and emerged ferociously—it was the shape of a giant whale, composed of highly compressed, utterly pure seawater. Every inch of its muscles flowed with azure brilliance, and its scales and patterns were lifelike, as if a true ancient ocean overlord had crossed the river of time and descended upon this world.
Carrying the terrifying momentum of crushing mountains and calming storms, it slammed with an unstoppable force into the colossal and twisted body of the Overlord of the Vortex, Osial.
"Rumble—!!!"
The deafening collision seemed to make the heavens and earth tremble.
The power of this strike far surpassed all previous ones. Osial's massive, mountain-like body was violently shaken, staggering involuntarily. Several heads that were gathering terrifying energy and about to spew attacks were interrupted, and the disruption caused by the energy backlash made the layer of ominous dark light surrounding its body instantly flicker and dim by several points.
"Who is it?"
A trace of unconcealed surprise flashed across Bo Saixi's beautiful face.
As the Great Priestess of Sea God Island, her perception of ocean power was the sharpest.
This sudden reinforcement had an extremely high level of power, and the aura of ocean authority contained within it was very similar to the Sea God's authority she understood, yet different. That power was more ancient, purer, carrying a kind of unpolished, primal strength, causing her to feel both grateful and compelled to investigate.
On the other side, Skirk's eyes also narrowed. A hint of astonishment crossed her ice-blue pupils. She quickly regained her composure, her gaze directed toward the source of the attack.
On the distant sea surface, two figures were treading the waves, moving with the wind, their speed extremely fast. One moment they were at the junction of the sea and sky, and the next, their outlines could be clearly seen.
On the left was a graceful woman with a cascade of black hair fluttering in the sea breeze. The ends of her hair displayed a dreamy purple gradient, as if the midnight star-filled sky and mysterious nebula were entwined among her tresses.
She held a strangely shaped Qinsword, a perfect fusion of instrument and weapon. Strong yet harmonious energy fluctuations radiated around her. Clearly, the earth-shattering giant whale strike just now originated from her.
The woman on the right had a completely different aura.
Her build was not considered tall, even slightly petite, but she naturally carried an air of undeniable majesty.
She wore an exquisitely crafted crown. At the very center of the crown, a cluster of blue flames burned quietly. That flame seemed to condense an indomitable will and noble divinity, emitting a warm yet dignified aura that commanded awe and prevented any disregard.
The newcomers were Helektra and Cerydra.
They had been swept into this unfamiliar world along with Shrek Academy but had chosen not to travel together.
Helektra was deeply drawn to the vast, boundless, and mysterious oceans of this new world, while Cerydra harbored curiosity about the customs and people of the foreign world.
The two traveled like casual wanderers, exploring this strange land without a set destination. However, Helektra was a daughter of the sea, and the aura of the Sea God drew her, leading them to arrive at the Sea God Island battlefield at this crucial moment.
Their arrival instantly broke the battlefield's stalemate, bringing a turning point.
Helektra lightly swept her jade hand across the strings, and the sword edge followed a mysterious trajectory. The clear Qin melody and the sharp sword aura perfectly blended, transforming into visible, azure sound blades imbued with pure ocean power.
These sound blades tore through the air, emitting a fearsome shriek, sweeping toward Osial's massive body like a fierce storm.
Each sound blade that sliced into its body, composed of seawater and demon god power, caused large splashes of dark-blue water and left deep marks. Though not fatal, it effectively disrupted and weakened its power.
Cerydra casually waved her hand. Phantom chess pieces of various shapes, emitting a gentle glow, materialized out of thin air. As if possessing spiritual awareness, they precisely landed inside the bodies of every person fighting on the field.
In an instant, whether it was Bo Saixi, Skirk, or Xiaobai and her clan, they all felt a warm and powerful energy surge from within. Their depleted power was replenished, their weary spirits revitalized, and their overall momentum surged by thirty percent out of nowhere.
Even Skirk's injuries were temporarily suppressed under the influence of the strange chess piece power, no longer hindering her movements.
Feeling her injuries effectively suppressed and a long-lost sense of ease return, the cold light in Skirk's eyes intensified.
She no longer hesitated. Her slender hand clenched, and the extreme cold quickly condensed, once again forming the translucent Ice Longsword.
Her figure flashed, instantly closing the distance to Osial. Sword shadows overlapped like a blooming ice lotus. Every strike contained extreme cold and penetrating power, aiming precisely at the energy circulation nodes and relatively vulnerable parts of Osial.
Seeing this, Bo Saixi's spirit lifted greatly.
She raised the golden scepter in her hand high, activating the remaining Sea God power within her without reservation.
The brilliant Sea God's Light soared into the sky, transforming into a colossal golden tornado connecting heaven and earth. A sacred, majestic, and purifying aura permeated the area.
This golden tornado, Helektra's continuous tide of sound blades, Cerydra's strengthening power granted to everyone, and Skirk's unpredictable, icy sword shadows—four formidable forces interwove, launching the final and most violent combined assault on the core target, Osial, from different directions.
The Devil Soul Great White Shark clan, led by Xiaobai, let out earth-shaking roars, gathering the last of their clan's strength. Like countless white arrows released from a bow, they fearlessly launched a final, death-defying charge, fiercely colliding with Osial's constantly writhing body.
Facing this devastating attack from all sides, Osial let out a frenzied and unwilling roar.
Its several heads thrashed wildly, continuously spewing out thick, dark-blue energy beams, attempting to construct a defense line to withstand the fatal siege.
However, under the joint effort of the four contemporary powerhouses and the full-power strike of the entire Sea God Island, its formidable defense was ripped apart and disintegrated inch by inch...
Finally, amidst the unwilling roar of the waves and the Demon God's gradually weakening wail, Osial's immense and once-terrifying body finally lost all power to struggle. It collapsed with a rumble under the gaze of countless eyes, sinking into the deep sea that it had left shattered and broken.
On the sea surface, only countless shattered whirlpools continued to spin pointlessly, and the gradually calming waves, as if their strength had also been exhausted, remained.
