Judging from the degree of decay on them, these things were once the remains of the British Isles, and they were resurrected here for some unknown reason.
They sank back to the bottom of the sea amid the sound of gunfire, but soon other monsters of the same kind came up in an endless stream.
The sounds of explosions, waves, and incomprehensible noises merged into one on the sea, but everything was not out of control because Shanshan was sitting at the bow, reading a book boredly.
Charles wiped the seawater off his face from top to bottom and threw it toward the deck next to him. He said to Shanshan, "Watch it. If the situation breaks out of normal, send them back first."
Shanshan, who was concentrating on reading a book, nodded slightly without expressing anything.
I thought this situation would continue as before, but soon there was a new development. The sea water in the east began to continuously produce black dirt foam.
A mechanical castle as big as a small mountain, made up of various machines, crawled out of the foam. Rusty cannons extended from the windows and began to pour fire in the direction of the fleet.
Under its leadership, more and more flesh and blood ships emerged from the water and began to attack them, and for a moment they became somewhat precarious.
Those shells were all living creatures or even fully mechanical humanoids. No matter whether they hit the water or the deck, these monsters made of flesh and blood and machinery waved their deformed limbs and began to attack the Hope Island Navy.
The bullets only sent sparks flying at the monsters but were completely useless. Just as a sailor was about to be knocked to the ground by a monster, a sharp metal spear shot over from the side and pierced the monster through.
Charles saw a familiar face from the telescope at the top of the mechanical city. It was Swann, the former Governor of the British Isles.
However, Swan, as the key to open the seal of the God of Futan, was imprisoned by Anna in the most heavily guarded cell on Hope Island, so it was impossible for him to appear here.
However, after careful identification, Charles discovered that this Swan was not the Swan chosen by God to be the reveler.
The former governor of the British Isles split himself into two halves, one half was used as bait, and the other half, Swann, was killed by the Pope, and his body sank into the water along with the British Isles.
Although I don't know why he became able to move again, but from the current situation, he seems to have become the leader of these things.
As soon as Shanshan raised her head from reading, Charles patted her head gently, "I'll take care of that, you keep an eye on this."
As soon as Charles finished speaking, black hair grew from his body, sharp fangs emerged from his mouth, and muscles rapidly squirmed under the skin.
After a while, a huge and terrifying bat monster appeared on the deck. Charles pushed hard on the deck with his dislocated feet, spread his huge fleshy wings, and flew towards Swan in the distance.
Seeing Charles coming, the aerial attacks began to target Charles, but Charles' figure gradually disappeared into the air, causing their attacks to fail.
Shanshan gently held her chin with her hand and silently looked at the chaos in the distance, "Oh, it's so boring."
At this moment, Shanshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly flashed into the air and looked to the right side of the dark sea. Under the sea, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared at some point, and those eyes were silently watching the battle.
"Where is this from? Why haven't I seen this before in the sea? It doesn't have that kind of aura, it's not a god."
The pair of blood-red eyes seemed to sense the shining gaze, and several tentacles with suction cups stretched out from under the water, bent slightly, and then gradually dived into the deep sea.
There was a hint of curiosity in Shanshan's eyes. She had seen some things in the water before, but the one who greeted her was the first one.
After looking at the scene in the distance and thinking for a while, he cut off his right eye and threw it onto the deck, then his body quickly flashed towards the pair of red eyes.
In mid-air, Charles' body, which was in invisible state, quickly retracted. He raised the black thorn in his hand and stabbed it towards Swan's forehead. The process was very sharp. The extremely sharp black thorn went straight into Swan's heart along the top of his head.
But the half eye made of rotten flesh and the half eye made of rusty mechanical turned to look at Charles at the same time. Looking at those eyes, Charles felt a little suspicious.
These were a pair of extremely numb eyes, without any emotion in them, as if this body was just a puppet.
"Something's wrong! There's not even a hint of hatred in your eyes when facing me. It's not Swan that's controlling this body! It's something else!"
Suddenly, the inky black sea water below quickly turned black, becoming as black as ink. At this moment, the familiar yet unfamiliar murmur once again sounded from the depths of Charles' mind.
The murmur was so loud and so clear that Charles could even understand some of it.
Just as Charles gritted his teeth and fought against the whispers in his head, several shadows emerged from the black water and rushed towards Charles.
Charles just dodged for a distance, trying to get rid of the encirclement of these afterimages, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have anticipated it. A golden light shot out from the side and stabbed directly at Charles' waist.
Charles moved the mechanical arm slightly down, and with a "clang!", the mechanical arm collided with the opponent's weapon.
Sparks flew and Charles, with a painful expression, saw the enemy who attacked him.
The slimy body covered with phlegm and mucus, the rampant octopus eyes, and the dozen tiny roots that kept twisting under the mouth, the ones attacking him were the archbishops of the Futan Church!
"Puchi~!" Charles felt a pain in his neck. A sharp weapon made of pure gold cut from behind and directly penetrated his neck.
This was an ambush. All twelve archbishops of the Fortan religion were present. They were frightened by Charles' growing power.
They cannot match the power of Hope Island or their own strength.
If we wait any longer, the distance between us will only widen.
They must do everything in their power to solve this major threat! ! Otherwise, the end of the Foundation will be theirs!
Along with Charles's roar, bright arcs of electricity kept jumping around, trying to force away the surrounding archbishops.
But these octopus monsters in black robes rushed towards Charles under the arcs of electricity, determined to kill Charles immediately even at the cost of getting injured.
The opponent's daughter possesses power comparable to that of a god, and Charles must be killed in the brief opportunity when she comes to her senses! !
"Long live the Almighty!!"
"Long live the Almighty!!"
"Long live the Almighty!!"
The black robe was taken off, and twelve hideous and terrifying octopus monsters approached Charles with determination in their eyes.
