Chapter 218: Carefully Prepared for the Sea God
Seeing the meteorite, as bright as the sun, appear once again in the sky, the deep-sea demon whale, which had never left, felt despair for the first time. You must know that in this ocean, all the deep-sea demon whales firmly believed that their king was an invincible being and could not be defeated.
Their unwavering belief lasted for a very, very long time—so long that even they themselves were not entirely sure how many tens of thousands of years.
But today, their king, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, seems to be about to be defeated.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale subconsciously looked towards the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, its eyes filled with unconcealed worry. It feared that its king would be defeated, and that its king would perish because of this defeat.
The clash between Su Chen and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was too fast and ruthless. Every move was aimed at killing the other. Even Di Tian and Bi Ji, who knew the true purpose of their trip to find the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, couldn't help but have doubts. So how could the Deep Sea Demon Whale King be suspicious?
As the Deep Sea Demon Whale King watched the meteorite about to fall, his heart was filled with turmoil. At this moment, he finally acknowledged Ye Chen's strength.
Even though this strength was mixed with Gu Yuena's power, it was still acknowledged.
Reverting to its original form as a deep-sea demon whale, the Deep-Sea Demon Whale King swung its tail and plunged into the depths of the sea, as if trying to use the boundless ocean to withstand Su Chen's destructive attack.
Just before the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body completely submerged into the seabed, he glanced in Su Chen's direction.
Su Chen understood the meaning hidden in the eyes of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, and told the remnant soul of Gu Yuena, who was merged with him, to first remove the current state. Only then did Su Chen follow behind the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and sink into the sea.
The meteorite in the sky had long since disappeared. Since Su Chen dared to use the Heavenly Obstruction Star, he must be able to control it freely. So, the moment he realized that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King recognized him, he removed the meteorite from the sky.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King and Su Chen entered the seabed one after the other, diving straight to the deepest part of the ocean. Only then did the Deep Sea Demon Whale King stop and look at Su Chen, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, yet carrying a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
"How do you intend to cooperate with me?"
"I am no match for him."
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King spoke frankly, and the two men present understood the identity of the opponent he was referring to.
"In the realm of gods, neither of us can kill him, but what if his true form descends to the mortal realm?"
Su Chen looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and slowly uttered a goal that seemed impossible to achieve. Then, just as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was about to question it, he continued speaking.
"You should know that among the two of us, there is someone he is paying close attention to, and perhaps I will be added to that list soon."
Su Chen knew that it would be difficult to bring the true form of the Sea God down to the mortal realm. In his plan, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was the most important part, and everything else was just icing on the cake to keep the Sea God from thinking clearly.
"Oh?"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King raised its tail slightly, its anticipation growing stronger, "Tell me about it."
"It's simple, find a way to increase your strength, and then become a god."
Su Chen looked at the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and saw that he made no attempt to hide anything and spoke frankly, as if he was not afraid at all that Poseidon, the sea god, had overheard their plan.
He was no longer worried. Upon hearing Su Chen's words, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King subconsciously set up a water barrier around itself to block outside exploration.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King knew very well that Su Chen's short sentence was extremely difficult to achieve. It was so difficult that even after being blind for more than 20,000 years, he had only seen the edge of it. He didn't know how long it would take to completely step onto it.
Reason and emotion were intertwined, leaving the Deep Sea Demon Whale King unable to calm down for a long time. He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps a moment, perhaps ten thousand years.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King finally came to his senses and made up his mind.
He looked at Su Chen and spoke firmly, word by word, "If you can do what you say, I will definitely not let Poseidon continue to rule the ocean!"
"He steps down, you step up."
Sea spirit beasts often display a very straightforward personality, just like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Fortunately, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was like that; otherwise, even the sea god Poseidon might not have been fooled.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, can deceive others, but he can't deceive his own allies.
Chakra power slowly condensed in the sea, transforming into transparent tentacles that wrapped around the body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Then, Su Chen used the power of these chakra tentacles to transmit his thoughts to it.
"Don't believe it. Your increased strength is just an illusion. Poseidon, the god of the sea, has been watching you. Seeing that you are about to become a god, and with me speaking up for you, he will surely believe it to some extent."
"Before this, there was my imprisonment of Poseidon and the cutting off of his connection with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. He certainly couldn't have considered whether your breakthrough was a trap."
"When that time comes, we will join forces to pull Poseidon down from that position."
While transmitting messages to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King through his mind, Su Chen spoke in a way that was neither entirely true nor entirely false.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had considered the possibility that Su Chen's words were false, so he showed no sadness upon hearing them.
He deduced from Su Chen's words and found that the probability of the plan succeeding was more than 80%.
An 80% success rate is enough to make the Deep Sea Demon Whale King take the risk, or rather, it's hard for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King not to be tempted by a plan that can kill the Sea God!
Su Chen recognized this point, which is why he chose to cooperate with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
After explaining the next steps of the plan, Su Chen bid farewell to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. However, before saying goodbye, Su Chen specifically asked the Deep Sea Demon Whale King for the address of a scenic island.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King only instructed Su Chen to find the Deep Sea Demon Whale when he came over, and he would give the orders.
Su Chen and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King both knew very well that their plan could not be completed in three to five days; the matter of Poseidon's escape alone would take almost half a month.
However, in Su Chen's plan, after the three of them left the sea, Xiao Bai would learn from elsewhere that they had left, as well as the news of Su Chen's alliance with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Having learned this information, Xiaobai should easily understand Poseidon's predicament. At that time, Xiaobai can tell Poseidon all her guesses.
In this way, Poseidon will be able to break free sooner. The restraints around Poseidon were jointly set up by Su Chen and Rakshasa, so they will naturally sense her break free.
Then Su Chen will directly sever the connection between the Vast Ocean Universe Cover and Poseidon, allowing him to re-enter Poseidon's field of vision!
Su Chen didn't believe that, given all the coincidences, Poseidon wouldn't have noticed something amiss. And once he did, it would mean Poseidon had fallen into a trap! (End of Chapter)
