Charles raised his head and looked upwards. The Pope, dressed in a gorgeous golden and white robe, slowly floated down from above.
He also saw the oval-shaped airship floating in the air behind the church. There was a giant triangular symbol of the Church of Light painted on the airbag that was almost reaching the dome.
More than a dozen airships formed a neat column. Judging from the ropes hanging below them, those giant steel towers were moved by them.
"How come the technology of the Church of Light has suddenly become so advanced?" Charles looked at them with a frown.
"Charles, it is very impolite to be distracted when talking to elderly people." A voice with a hint of dissatisfaction made Charles look at the Pope in front of him.
"Thanks for your help." Charles expressed his gratitude to the Pope for his help. Although he could not see through the old man, he was indeed saving his life just now.
"Who is this? Your friend?" The Pope looked at Shanshan who was holding Charles with his tentacles with a hint of curiosity.
Seeing the old man with golden light next to him, Shanshan was also very curious. He stretched out a tentacle and reached towards the Pope.
But Charles immediately used his transparent tentacles to stop it. "I'm not sure. I'll tell you when I figure it out myself."
The Pope looked at each other for a few seconds and nodded. "It seems that you still have things to deal with this tentacle friend, so you go ahead and I'll go see if Swan is completely dead." After the old man said this, he floated directly down.
When Charles was carried by Shan Shan and slowly landed on the dock from the air, he could hear the islanders' fierce cheers. They defeated the huge enemy like a god, and they were saved!
The warships on the surrounding sea were approaching the dock, and the various dark green heads on the sea had disappeared.
Seeing Swann land and the Pope's reinforcements arrive, the clansmen realized that their attack plan had completely failed. No matter how powerful they were, they could not resist the attacks of the Church of Light, Hope Island, and Icha Island.
Not only do they have to run, but they also have to run fast. If they are entangled by the other side, it will be troublesome.
Seeing this scene, everyone on the island cheered, but Charles had no time to celebrate as a major problem appeared before him.
With a serious expression, he looked at the collection of tentacle eyeballs floating in front of him.
"Bang!" A fifty-centimeter eyeball with a cross-pupil flew out of the water and rolled to his feet.
Looking at the giant eyeball, Charles' expression was very complicated.
"Dad... play..."
After three seconds, Charles sighed with all his strength, controlled the transparent tentacles to pick up the eyeball, and threw it at the thing in front of him.
"Pah~" The eyeball was thrown back again, and then thrown forward again.
A messy dock, with an eyeball tossed back and forth in the air.
The green fluorescent liquid eyeballs rubbed against each other, making a giggling sound like laughter.
"What's your name?" Charles asked while pinching the eyeball in his hand. Ever since he knew that the thing in front of him was his child, the creepy feeling of terror disappeared inexplicably.
"Flash... Flash..."
"Sparkle, where is mommy now?"
As soon as Charles finished speaking, the glittering tentacles and eyeballs began to wriggle rapidly. As these things suddenly shrank towards the center, she disappeared without any warning.
"Hmm?" Charles stretched out his hand and hesitantly probed towards the place where Shanshan had just been.
He quickly pulled his hand outside, but found a white arm grabbing his hand and dragging him out.
"What are you doing! What are you doing! I'm busy, why did you pull me over here for no reason?" Anna, who was wearing a tight purple suit, shook off Charles' hand with force.
The next second, she looked at Swan next to her with an impatient look on her face, and her eyes suddenly lit up, just like an ordinary girl seeing a brand-name bag in a store.
"Oh my god! It's Longka! I was wondering why I couldn't find it, and it turned out to be here by itself. Oh my god, is it broken like this? I don't know if it can be used."
Anna was about to run over, but Charles grabbed her wrist. He pointed at Shan Shan next to her and asked word by word, "What's going on?"
"What's the matter? It's your daughter. So what? Were you scared when you first met her?" Anna showed a playful smile on her beautiful face.
"But... you are obviously... how can you tell me... this..." Charles' words were a little stumbling, and when he heard Anna say this, his suspicions were completely shattered.
The shimmering tentacles went around and gently entangled the two of them.
"Think of a way. There is always a way out. As long as you think of a way, there will always be a way, right? When you first woke up, I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of scaring you to death again, so I gave you a little buffer time."
Anna took a step forward with her slender legs in high heels, put her arms around Charles' neck, and tilted her head slightly to look at him. "What? I gave birth to a child for you, and you don't seem happy about it?"
Charles pulled Anna's hand down helplessly, "This is totally not the case! You said she was my daughter, but how could my daughter be like this?"
Hearing this, Anna showed a trace of disgust on her face. She kept poking Charles' chest with her fingernails, causing Charles to step back repeatedly.
"You don't think that the reason why Shining looks like this is because of me, do you? I'm just an ordinary Diva. Do I have the ability to give birth to such a big thing? Don't forget that you also contributed. The child's appearance is up to you, scumbag!"
"What?! Follow me?" Charles felt that the inner world he had just built collapsed again.
Charles turned his head to look at the strange appearance of Shanshan beside him, then looked down at his human body, and his mind was once again turned into a mess by this explosive news.
Anna turned angrily and walked towards Swan.
"Anna, Anna!" Charles took two quick steps to hold her back, a little excited.
"What is going on? Explain yourself clearly. How could Shanshan look like me? Is it related to the tattoo on my body?"
Anna showed a trace of helplessness on her face. "You are really slow. Let me ask you, you have been to so many dangerous places, haven't you found that your body is a little different from ordinary people?"
"My body?" Charles froze in place, his mind flashing back to some fragments.
The first to appear was the Pope. "Charles, you are different from the others. We are the Chosen Ones."
The next person was the doctor lying in a wheelchair. "Yeah, that's how I say you're lucky. After absorbing the power of the two relics, your body is only this small. I really want to dissect it to see what kind of body you have."
In the end, the image in his mind froze on the deformity and mutation that occurred in his body after he saw Dawn 1.
Limbs like crab claws, a black sphere that swelled like a bubble, and triangular deformed eyeballs staring on the octopus tentacles. He had turned into a horrible monster.
"Could it be... that wasn't an illusion!?"
