Chapter 356 The Most Hasty Sealing in History
This young bipedal...
They always have some unexpected methods.
Liv's siren-like features slowly faded, and she chose to hand the battlefield over to anyone.
The eyes on the Abyss turned and locked onto Little Fatty. An invisible mental field descended once more, and the empty control progress bar was just enough to accommodate this enormous target.
Little Fatty was charging at the long legs at that moment.
The moment it was spotted, its movements suddenly stopped, but due to inertia, it still rolled a long way off the seabed before falling over like a bottle cap that had fallen to the ground.
[Target: Lv10 Abyss Aggregate - Faceless]
[Control assessment in progress... Low mental resistance... No resistance...]
【...】
【Great success! 】
You have now taken control of the target!
[Current control level: 103.1%]
[Warning: Maximum capacity exceeded, cannot be driven. Please optimize control units as soon as possible.]
Just as the warning turned red—
"boom......"
The long-legged man stomped his foot again, crushing a small group of deformed individuals who were standing still.
[Current control level: 99.9%]
Any: "..."
What else can be said? This is fate.
He couldn't even sense the self of a 'living being' within the spiritual power of that [Abyssal Aggregate - Faceless], only...
Move, eat, move, eat.
Simply perfect.
"Roll fifty meters in the direction of three o'clock."
He confidently issued the first instruction.
One second...
Three seconds...
......
The chubby boy, on whom high hopes were placed, showed no intention of following instructions and simply lay there motionless.
Arthur's shocked expression gradually turned into hesitation.
He really wanted to ask what they were waiting for.
But seeing Ren Yi's serious expression, I felt that speaking up now might incur a grudge.
[Is it lagging? Is your network slow? Or is the latency too high?]
Is it possible that there is no concept of time in the abyss?
[Boss: Roll fifty meters towards three o'clock. Fat Starfish: What's three o'clock? What's a meter?]
Renyi also realized the problem—
He issued a precise command to a creature that didn't even have a concept of "self".
What's the difference between this and teaching calculus to a goldfish or explaining to a Samoyed not to smile at a thief?
Klaus: "..." This seems familiar!
The captain naturally withdrew his finger, "Ahem..."
"It's building up its power, don't rush it."
Ivan suddenly realized, "That makes sense. With such a large size, a long response time is perfectly normal!"
Refocus your attention at will.
this time,
He chose the simple and direct method of projecting images from his mind as the instruction—
"Roll up and crash into those 'pillars'."
This time, Little Fatty, having received the signal, clumsily adjusted his posture, turned to the side, stood up again, and accelerated in place, getting faster and faster.
The panicked person turned out to have long legs.
The dozen or so legs desperately dodged the little fat 'bowling ball' as it chased them, and in the end, it even tried to escape back to the abyss rift.
But walking is never as fast as rolling.
"Bang!"
"roar......"
A long, piercing roar echoed across the seabed. One leg, lagging behind, was instantly crushed. That brief moment of hesitation was followed by a second, then a third...
That which defied engineering principles met its inevitable end—
The spindle-shaped body, having lost its balance, slowly tipped towards the seabed.
Just as it was struggling in vain.
Under arbitrary command, Little Fatty mercilessly ran over it.
Roll it back.
Run it over.
Roll it back.
......
It went on and on until the long legs completely stopped moving.
However, unlike the previous mutants, there was no kill report for this long-legged creature, which means that, as Arthur said, there was no way to kill it directly.
The abyssal rift was still bubbling out black mist, forming this 'dark wall'.
If left untreated,
Before long, something else will crawl out.
"call......"
Arthur let out a long breath, and his body once again emitted a blue light.
"Brother...you've done us a great favor. Leave the rest to me. This is the king's destiny."
Fate?
"Fate can sometimes find a substitute."
Renyi emerged from the observation cabin, swam ahead of Arthur to the edge of the crevice, looked it over, and compared his size to Little Fatty's.
I can still vividly recall the effort it took to emerge from the crack...
Isn't this just a natural stopper?
Since it's such a big creature and there's no way to take it with me, I might as well leave it here and have a buffet.
I'm quite satisfied with it.
He gave Little Fatty a final instruction through their mental connection—
"Go back. Seal that gap, mouth down, and eat."
The starfish slowly rolled to the top of the crevice, inserted its five horns into the crevice as before, and then slowly retracted like a leavened loaf of bread until only a springy back remained.
It was perfectly sealed, and the black mist was also cut off.
Let alone Arthur,
Even Klaus and Ivan were gaping.
Liv covered her face—
This was the fastest, most ridiculous, and most hasty sealing ceremony she had ever seen in her life!
"Crunch... crunch... hiccup~"
A dull chewing sound came from the crack, as if Little Fatty had already comfortably started his health-preserving mode of being fed.
He was immediately more satisfied.
How wonderful, keeping the good stuff in the family!
"How long can you... control it?"
It was Liv who broke the silence.
The crisis that had plagued the Deep Blue Kingdom for thousands of years was thus easily overcome...
She is now very afraid that all of this is a premature brewing of jellyfish.
"As long as I live."
He said it with a smile, but the subtext was clear to everyone: You have to protect me.
The sea siren's face, which looked young, beautiful, yet weathered, shifted several times before finally settling into calm. After giving the little fellow in her eyes a deep look, she once again vanished into purple smoke.
Her departure was an admission that the ordeal was over.
As expected.
Soon the black mist that had enveloped the area began to thin and become transparent, dissipating into nothingness, and the devastated battlefield was illuminated once again.
"...That's it?"
The blue light emanating from King Arthur had not yet dissipated, and he stood frozen in disbelief.
However, Renyi and the others had no time to savor the hard-won fruits of victory.
After all, the mermaid skin on their bodies will expire in another half day.
Moreover...
Previously, the evolution of [Abyss] was a huge expense, but now that the ship has been upgraded, Renyi is going to move that 'piggy bank'!
"Yes, that's it."
He casually patted Arthur's arm.
"Your Majesty, I hope it's not offensive of me to go and move that treasure trove we agreed on before?"
"Of course... do as you please," he replied absentmindedly.
"Let's go."
Stand idly on the deck and call out to a few fish, facing the deep-sea currents.
Collecting rent... no, I mean, going to collect the house!
