When Charles saw Swan's half-mechanical, half-flesh head appear in front of him, all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind.
The next second, as Charles' heart moved, more than a dozen transparent tentacles stretched out from Swan's side, carrying white welding arcs and quickly rolled towards him.
"Click, click, click~" the sound of mechanical gears was heard, and a gun barrel extended from one side of Swan's mechanical body, firing directly in the direction of the tentacle.
What came out of the barrel was not a shell, but a mass of flesh and blood that seemed to be wriggling, as if he was directly ejecting his own internal organs.
As soon as the thing touched Charles' tentacles, it instantly revealed its jagged bloody mouth from the inside and devoured those tentacles madly.
"The Great Reveler has granted me power! Power that you can't imagine!!" Swan shouted like a madman, and pounced on Charles like a deformed frog.
At the same moment, with Lily's quick command at the deck gun, the muzzle quickly turned and fired at Swan.
"The divine power is as strong as a prison!!" A blond boy with blinding light in his eyes instantly appeared in front of the shell.
As he squeezed hard, the shell that should have exploded shrank into a ball of scrap metal. Then Pope Ledger, who was suspended in the air, looked down at Charles on the deck below.
With the sudden appearance of tentacles and the Pope and Swan attacking the Narwhal, Charles knew that the Narwhal had reached its most critical moment.
"God had a good impression of you before and promised to give me something. I will consider not killing you." The Pope said extremely old-fashioned words in his childish voice.
Charles quickly glanced at the crew members who were fighting the tentacles at the bow, and quickly calmed down and said to the Pope: "Yes, of course, now is not the place to talk, why don't we deal with that thing together first?"
The Pope's eyes narrowed slightly under his golden hair, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "You are still as annoying as ever. Forget it, just kill me. I am 130 years old. Even if I don't read your thoughts, I know what you are thinking. Child, you are too young."
As soon as the Pope finished speaking, he rushed towards Charles. His body began to emit a dazzling light, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him as he moved.
Seeing the Pope start to attack, Charles gritted his teeth and made up his mind, knowing that he could not defeat the Pope alone and had to take final measures.
"Grace!! Get your magic ready! If I say release, you release it!!"
The thin girl's heart trembled slightly, but she still held her staff and shouted with all her strength: "Yes, Captain!!"
"Bang!!" An invisible transparent cover appeared around the dazzling Pope, and he used this thing to pin Charles' body to the deck.
Through a layer of transparent material, Charles stared at Pope Ledger and said with a hint of madness in his eyes: "If you don't want everyone to die together, get out of here! I have a weapon that can kill everyone together!"
The Pope showed a trace of contempt on his face. "Your chosen one has been swept away by God's cloak. Without that thing, you can't threaten me at all now."
After the Pope finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and a spear that looked like dazzling sunlight appeared in his hand. He clenched it in an instant and stabbed it straight into Charles' head.
The next second, Charles' body disappeared and the spear was stuck on the deck.
But the opponent seemed to be able to see through things. The floating Pope simply slapped his hand back and threw the black thorn away, then stretched it forward and easily stuck it on his neck.
When the two sides were fighting hard, Swan used his body like a wild dog to quickly shuttle through the chaotic battlefield.
When he saw Lily standing on the deck gun, his eyes lit up at the same time as his naked eyes.
"Weak." As Pope Ledger's iron-like fingers continued to tighten, Charles' eyes bulged outward involuntarily under the strong pressure. When his face turned pale due to lack of blood, the spider eyes were directly squeezed out.
Just as Charles was about to enter a state of near death, his body swelled rapidly and black hair quickly grew out of his body. After a while, Charles had turned into a giant bat monster nearly five meters tall.
As his body grew bigger, his neck also grew thicker rapidly. Ledger's small child hands were simply unable to control Charles. In the end, at the cost of some physical injury, he managed to escape.
"Die!" Several dazzling spears appeared beside Ledger in an instant and shot straight at Charles from different angles, but a dozen transparent tentacles with electric arcs at the mouth of the bowl quickly stretched out, entangled those things and dragged them onto the deck.
Ledger frowned as he looked at Charles who was flying rapidly around him. After not seeing him for a while, the opponent's strength seemed to have improved a lot. Even without the blessing of the chosen one of God, he could still fight with him for so long.
But Ledger was not in a hurry at all. He had taken into account the possibility of emergencies before coming, so he arrived at this time. Now time is on his side.
The Pope glanced at the tentacles on the bow. The battle situation there was precarious. He slightly supported himself with his hands and began to chase Charles quickly.
"Creaky~~" With the sound of metal bending, the Narwhal gradually tilted.
Without Charles's restraint, the battle over there had become chaos, and the entire bow of the ship had been swallowed by the tentacles.
"Captain! Nothing we do will work! The ship is about to sink!" Nico's nervous voice reached Charles' ears.
Looking at the chaotic battle situation, Charles was very anxious at this time. He racked his brains to think about how to solve this fatal dilemma.
Just when he was considering calling Anna for help, the Pope quickly left the Narwhal, returned to his own ship, and evacuated directly.
Charles was stunned at first, but he had no time to think about it now. The tentacles at the bow had already reached into the glass of the cockpit! !
He quickly rushed to the tentacle monster, which was twice as big as before, opened his mouth and began to emit extremely harsh sound waves.
With Charles' participation, the situation was finally under control, but this tentacle monster refused to take any form of attack, which gave him a headache.
After careful observation, Charles discovered that part of its body seemed to be connected to another special space, a space containing the corpses of gods.
Although I don't know what that place is, it seems impossible to kill these tentacles from here.
