Chapter 221 - When the Positions of the Stars Are Realigned (2/2)

He was fully focussed as he observed the positions of the stars. Everything unrelated had been tossed outside of his mind: be it the developed island at the east which was destroyed by the sea demons a few months ago, or the Eternal Sleeper who recklessly made contact with Gawain Cecil and transmitted a strange and uneasy warning, or the Oblivion Association’s progression of the war on the continent. Nothing was as important as the star observation plate right now.

Or perhaps, nothing was as important as the image displayed on the plate.

The positions of the stars were gradually aligning, and the surge of magic had started subsequently. This time, the special magic surge wasn’t very intense, and most of the Mages and Priests wouldn’t even notice it. Only the Sons of the Storm would clearly know the significance of the influence of the magic acting on the stars.

“Deacon, No.2 and No.3 islands have delivered information through the gryphons. They have observed the same star signs. After eliminating the magic interference above the Endless Sea, the conclusion is already set.” A Storm Ecclesiastic walked up the tower and spoke respectfully behind the deacon. “The stars are returning to their positions.”

“I have also observed the same scene here.” The Storm Deacon nodded and cut off the control on the star observation plate. “We can draft the letter for the Pope. We shall know if Judgment Day will arrive within these three days.”

The Storm Ecclesiastic had a very serious expression as he took a look at the large silver plate behind the deacon and slightly gasped for air.

The rather young ecclesiastic finally couldn’t help but to ask, “Will ‘it’ return?”

“When the positions of the stars are corrected, the god’s blood and flesh shall awaken from the long slumber. This is the revelation we obtained after leaving the continent.” The Storm Deacon normally wouldn’t answer such an unnecessary and immature question. However, at this special moment, he hoped for someone to converse with him; therefore, he spoke indifferently, “There is nothing absolute in this world as ancient records show that the positions of the stars have been realigned more than once. However, the world still exists, meaning that nothing is certain.”

The Storm Ecclesiastic nodded silently. In his vision, the sea wave from far away was gradually rising up.

The sea had lost its peace once again.

……

In the depths of this not-peaceful Endless Sea, a third group was also noticing the changes in the stars.

In the abyss at the bottom of the sea, there was a man-made source of light that illuminated the entire seabed. There were spheres of light that were drifting in the sea and were swaying gently. Within the range of the illumination, there were countless graceful and seductive figures gathering here from all directions.

A sea demon commander swung its long snake tail and arrived at the front of the assembly point. There was a temporary information outpost station secured on the seabed, and there were two deep water technicians who were controlling the information outpost with their full concentration.

A deep water technician turned around and bent her tail at the commander. “Sir, the unmanned machine sent over the latest observation report. The celestial body is currently entering the specified position. The reading on the ‘mysterious energy’ already shows a 3% increase.”

The sea demon commander nodded and asked, “What about the situation at the ‘excavation site’?”

“The giant squid’s tissue activity is currently increasing, and the ‘rapid regeneration’ is going to begin soon.”

The sea demon commander left the information outpost and swam in front of her comrades who were all gathered here.

Each sea demon was pulling a long face, and they were wielding their own weapons. Each snake tail, fishtail, and tentacle was grabbing onto the seabed tightly. They were all fully focussed and waiting for this moment; none of the sea demons were slacking in this entire process.

They had to face what was going to happen with a serious attitude as they knew clearly what would happen when the positions of the stars were realigned.

In their history records, such an occasion had already happened 16 times, and on each occasion, all of the sea demons would be involved.

The sea demon commander swam to an appropriate position and raised her right hand which was holding a trident. All of the sea demons gathered their attention on her, and under countless pairs of eyes, the commander shook the seawater with a voice that echoed throughout the entire place.

“Sisters! The stars are entering their correct positions.

“We have been preparing for this day for many years!

“Sisters, please remember…

“…to pay attention to the meal order!!!”

The sea demon commander brandished her trident with strength and shouted with a voice that echoed throughout the entire seabed: “The opportunity to eat to our fill will be within these two days!!”
