Chapter 2531 – A Legend Etched in History
Isha and Shui Mo exchanged glances, giving a wry smile. “Do we have any other choice? From now on, you will be our master!”
Let alone the fact that I gave them a choice, even if Jayad had not given them any options and directly stated he wanted to enslave them, Isha and Shui Mo, who were already on the brink of death from their torment in the Celestial Realm, would not have dared to harbor any complaints or hesitation.
It was the first time they experienced the feeling of a fish cast onto land, only able to flounder meaninglessly. The surroundings were scorching hot, and Holy Light was constantly searing the Sea People parts of their bodies. They had insufficient food and water.
Unexpectedly, even Sea People, who possessed perfect environmental adaptability, had environments they absolutely could not adapt to. They could only possibly be assimilated by the Celestial Realm’s Holy Light. If not for the Demon Hunters’ sufficiently robust bodies, they would have been completely consumed by the Holy Light long ago.
After being released, they told Jayad everything, including information about that Deep Sea Church Bishop. Unfortunately, he had already escaped, leaving by swimming away directly.
He had successfully used the Yellow King believer to achieve his plan. The channel connecting the Newborn to the world was destroyed, resulting in heavy casualties for the Sea People. There would be no more whispers to influence them for the time being, allowing him to safely proceed with fusing humans with Sea People cells.
By the time the Sea People developed again in the deep sea and resurfaced, who knew how long that would be? Perhaps by then, it would be difficult to say who would lead the mental connection. Maybe humans would say to the Sea People: This is the Sea People’s mental connection, so you’re the ones who should leave.
Older Brother Jayad did not hold a grudge for being used. He even wanted to chat with that Deep Sea Bishop, feeling genuine admiration for someone who had orchestrated such a grand scheme.
However, he learned from the two Demon Hunter girls that the bishop had already fled, jumping into the sea and swimming away. For someone perfectly fused with Sea People, moving through the sea was like walking on flat ground, and crossing the great sea would only take time.
“He wouldn’t dare to meet you! He never expected you to reach Atos Island in the first place. His original plan was for you to use the King in Yellow’s forbidden spell to bomb Atos Island,” Isha said.
“I didn’t expect you to also attract Divine Punishment and destroy the Deep Ones along with it, while escaping unscathed. To him, you are probably an incredible Miracle, and he likely never dares to appear before you again,” Shui Mo added.
“That’s a pity. Never mind, we can talk about it later. You two, get up first. As long as you serve me in the future, I will not treat you poorly, nor will I throw you into the Celestial Realm again,” Jayad said.
“Yes, Master.” Isha and Shui Mo stood up. After a moment of hesitation, Isha asked with a slight blush, “Master, although this request might be a bit excessive, could you please give us some new clothes?”
They were still wearing the restrictive outfits left by the Church of Suffering. Shui Mo was fine; she had an ordinary girl’s figure, and some purplish coral-like substances could grow on her body to conceal her private parts.
Isha, however, was different. She had a tall, perfectly curved mature figure, and these restrictive outfits made her curves even more prominent. Unlike Shui Mo, she didn’t have purple coral to cover her body and could only pull her shoulder-length silver hair forward to provide some minimal coverage.
“It’s not excessive. I’m sorry, but it seems there are hardly any normal clothes left in this house. I’ll have my subordinates acquire some normal women’s clothing tomorrow,” Jayad said with a wry smile. Even the slightly normal clothes had been taken by Parul for those in the Church of Suffering.
Isha and Shui Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought their new master intentionally made them wear such clothes to make them fully understand their current position and identity.
Moreover, they absolutely dared not disobey their new master. Even if he asked them to go out onto the street dressed like this, they wouldn’t dare to resist and would only obediently accept. Hearing Jayad say he would get them new clothes felt like a great pardon.
“I can’t believe you experienced such a fantastical adventure, it could even be called an Epic,” Illyret remarked from the side.
She knew beforehand that Jayad was inquiring about methods to deal with the Deep Sea Church and had also gathered intelligence on the Newborn. However, she had never imagined that Jayad could actually do something to the Deep Sea Church and the Sea People. Even the major Sea God Churches were helpless against these creatures that reproduced endlessly and hid in the sea.
But unexpectedly, this matter had triggered Divine Punishment, which was observed by almost half the world. Every instance of Divine Punishment in history was a major event destined to be recorded in history books, such as the Black Death War, the Insect Race Hegemony, and the Angel Catastrophe, among others.
The Mannan Church, with its extensive informants at sea, was the first to learn of the Sea People’s demise and the eradication of the Deep Sea Church. They used albatrosses to deliver messages, informing their followers worldwide of this event within a very short period.
However, the information they obtained was very limited. Besides the fact that the Deep Ones were also involved in this matter and that the instigator was likely a believer of the King in Yellow, they received no other effective information. Therefore, they instructed their followers everywhere to investigate this matter by any means necessary.
Shocked, Illyret immediately suspected that this matter was related to Jayad and went to inquire about it. Unfortunately, Jayad had only casually mentioned a few words at the time and glossed over it.
It was only after Jayad released these two Demon Hunter girls from the Deep Sea School that he learned the general progression of events from them, becoming even more astonished by Jayad’s audacity and unconventional thinking.
This left her with no doubt about the Goddess’s revelation. This person was undoubtedly the chosen one the Goddess had specifically named and needed to bring into the Church. And besides herself, no one else had the opportunity to do so now.
“By the way, Miss Illyret, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t leak this information about me being related to the Sea People incident to anyone, alright? If others find out about this, I’ll be in quite a predicament,” Jayad said.
I covered my forehead. Silly Older Brother, shouldn’t this have been explained beforehand? Or did he think Illyret already knew?
“Of course, I won’t tell anyone, including the people from the Sea God Church. After all, you are the knight of the Goddess I am about to guide,” Illyret said, gazing at Jayad with a touch of admiration. If this were a knight novel, he would be an absolute hero.
Illyret’s words were very cleverly phrased. The reason she gave was that Jayad was the knight of the Goddess she was about to guide, meaning they were on the same side, so she wouldn’t betray him.
However, if Jayad refused the Goddess’s revelation, he would no longer be on the same side, and what Illyret would do then was uncertain. Of course, she phrased it very subtly, without any threatening undertones.
“Alright, it seems I must accept this trial from the Goddess of the Lake. My business has also stabilized recently, so perhaps I can go,” Jayad said helplessly.
