Chapter 233 - Higher Will

What a strange sound!

Not only did it greatly reduce the effectiveness of the Ship Cannons, but even the Depth Charges were detonated prematurely!

Such ample and meticulous preparation, millions of shells containing unimaginable Divine Grace Power, were actually broken through by that monster's single attack, unleashing their infinite power entirely into the sea!

The "Fishing Net" is ruined!

What else can restrain the Kraken?

Can't it move as it pleases, coming and going as it wishes?!

Moreover, now that the Fleet has lost its greatest and only reliance, will this monster really obediently slip away...

People looked towards the Kraken's direction.

On the surface of the sea, there were only piles of fish and shrimp corpses, but not even the Shadow of a Tentacle was seen.

It had completely submerged into the Seabed!

Only on the combat map could the monster's movements still be seen.

It's moving!

The "Divine Grace" continuously scattered orange-red Depth Charges, and the Kraken's pattern slowly followed behind, clearing a few bombs from time to time.

What else can be done?

Ship Cannons have almost no effect on the Seabed dozens of meters below.

Continue to approach the Kraken and drop Depth Charges? It is feared that the Warships will go and never return, and will not cause any obstruction to that monster either.

In short.

The "Divine Grace" is in danger!

The Security Bureau, which was monitoring the entire process closely, saw this scene most clearly.

At this moment.

The new Surveillance Hall in King's Landing was deathly silent.

The Security Bureau officers stared at the screen nervously and blankly, not knowing what to do next. And their superiors could only vaguely order "strict monitoring, don't miss a single bit of useful Information!"

But what exactly is "useful"? No one knows.

The Minister of Security, Elin Lantel, stayed alone in the highest Surveillance Room, extremely concerned about the battlefield in the distant Shield Islands, but equally powerless.

He could only be thankful that the King on the "Divine Grace" was not His Majesty's true body.

No matter how bad the situation was, at least His Majesty's safety could be guaranteed, which was a blessing in disguise.

It's just a pity for this precious Fleet.

Elin had already involuntarily mourned for these Warships and crew.

According to the Kraken's Information currently available, once the Ship Cannons and Royal Guard cannot resist, the huge Fleet is indeed just a living target.

In terms of speed, the Kraken is absolutely unmatched in the sea.

If a way to punish the Kraken cannot be found for a long time, it is feared that the entire West Coast of Westeros will suffer, and perhaps even more...

The only thing Elin could do at this time was to accurately and carefully record the Kraken's location and actions, report them to His Majesty, and update the map in time.

And make plans to preserve more strength as much as possible when the situation is irreversible.

Alas~

Through the screen, Elin stared intently at the Kraken.

Suddenly, he seemed to feel the scrutiny of those Golden Light Eyes, indifferent and ruthless, majestic and terrifying, which immediately made his heart turn cold.

Snap!

Elin immediately turned off the screen.

After a while, that strange feeling slowly dissipated.

After a long time, Elin let out a long sigh of relief.

It is indeed a monster, a monster that should not exist in the Mortal world. He secretly sighed.

Like Divine Grace...

Elin quickly shook his head, shaking off the meaningless distracting thoughts, and sincerely expressed his greetings and concerns to His Majesty on the "Divine Grace".

Joffrey only replied, "Do your job with peace of mind."

Reality here is too stimulating, he can't be addicted to the virtual world.

There is no time to respond to more greetings.

Joffrey focused on dealing with the crisis in reality.

He was still standing on the Bow.

The "Divine Grace" did not take the opportunity to turn around, and was still sailing backward, so the deep sea where the Kraken was lurking was in front of him.

He looked down.

The sea surged with endless waves, whitecaps churning.

With the inherent rhythm of the ocean and the disturbance caused by the warship's movement, such an active sea surface was clearly not surprising.

That is, if one didn't know there was a kraken on the seabed.

Once its existence was known, it became clear that it was the true creator of the waves.

Each time the kraken advanced, the waves surged backward.

Each time it paused, massive waves followed its direction, catching up to the Divine Grace and soaking the already drenched deck once more.

Ordinary ships would likely have sunk because of this.

Just by this alone, the kraken was worthy of being called a legendary beast, feared and sung about by the world.

It was the waves and the storm itself.

Thus, the crew didn't need to look at the battle map; merely feeling the force of the incoming waves was enough to judge the kraken's distance.

This further displayed immense pressure.

The atmosphere became incredibly tense, and everyone became uncontrollably flustered.

Theon Greyjoy scurried around, seemingly dissatisfied with every location, constantly shouting for people to strengthen preparations.

The sorcerers moved materials, trying to optimize the warship's structure, but were never satisfied no matter what.

Soldiers ran back and forth seriously; even though there wasn't much for them to do on the ship, they were still as busy as if a thousand things were waiting to be done simultaneously.

At least, this offered them a bit of comfort, temporarily forgetting the fear of the kraken closing in behind them step by step.

Only Joffrey was as leisurely as a spectator.

He simply stood at the bow without a word, quietly gazing in the direction the kraken was coming from, as if completely confident.

For most people, such a king was actually more reassuring. People knew that Divine Grace was shared by the king with the world, so perhaps the king's own power was even greater than mortals could imagine?

Everyone was hoping for an affirmative answer.

It was precisely this expectation that allowed the Divine Grace to continue operating steadily at this moment without collapsing.

Only then did people dare to gather the courage to look at the battle map.

The kraken was already very close.

The two sides were only two kilometers apart and the distance was shrinking little by little.

It would catch up in at most half a quarter of an hour.

Everyone realized. The outcome would be revealed in just half a quarter of an hour.

The last half quarter of an hour of peace.

It seemed very short, but in reality, at the kraken's speed, it should have intercepted the Divine Grace long ago. With its size and ability, just a spray of water would cover a distance of several kilometers in the blink of an eye.

However, the depth charges remaining on the ship hindered its advance, forcing it to spend time avoiding or chanting.

A strange sound.

Although there were still many unknowns, Joffrey had figured out the reason the kraken triggered the bombs.

Information Runes!

In such a short time, the kraken was actually able to utilize the mirror image of the Information Rune he had given it to such an extent!

It was excessively intelligent.

It was actually able to integrate Magic Power into sound, thereby canceling out the Information Magic Power on the shells, achieving the effect of prematurely triggering the fuse and rendering the shells ineffective.

An extremely clever application. It was the first time Joffrey had seen it.

How could the kraken do these things?

Moreover, he had only just given it this Rune mirror image, so how did it instantly acquire so much Magic Power? And it even directly broke free from the control of me, the Rune's main body!?

Joffrey gazed deeply, meeting the kraken's eyes through the surface of the sea.

Its eyes were brilliant with Golden Light, profound and indifferent. Although it was pursuing the warship, there was no anger or bloodlust at all. How was it like a beast?

The kraken had abandoned Crow's Eye.

But at this time, it must have accepted another will.

A Higher Will.
