Bab 143: Chapter 143: Turned into Foam
Rain fell from the sky, but it no longer fell to the ground. Instead, it gathered into streams in the air along with the blowing wind, turned into waves, and condensed into water blades, attacking the 'Ninth Herrscher' suspended in the air.
A stream of azure blue water appeared out of nowhere, outlining the shape of a fish in the air, and attacked it in all kinds of strange ways, forcing it to respond hastily, appearing a little flustered for a moment.
There was no way. God knows why these [fish] could pose such a significant threat to it, as if they wanted to 'eat' it. The most important thing is... these [fish] seemed to be able to do it!
The water blades made of rain also almost cut off its arms. Fortunately, it sensed the threat in advance and used its strength to deflect and avoid it in time; otherwise, it would have been cut into pieces by the endless water blades.
Of course, it did fight back. After all, Nozomi was the only one standing on the ground at that moment, and there were a few small blue fishes surrounding him. Anyone could tell that he was the one behind all this.
Therefore, it also cast its gaze toward Nozomi, and brought down its strength, which was enough to crush ordinary people into pieces in an instant. The terrifying pressure that even ordinary fusion warriors could not bear instantly enveloped Nozomi, and even caused the ground beneath Nozomi to collapse a little. The small blue [fish] swimming around it was also instantly shattered and fell heavily to the ground, pressed to the ground together with other accumulated water by the huge force.
But... Nozomi didn't move, and the force couldn't even make him kneel.
Even the azure fish seemed to have quickly adapted to the terrifying pressure. After a while, they 'swam' out from the puddles on the ground again, cruising around Nozomi, looking very happy.
[...How is that possible?]
It showed a somewhat doubtful expression. Nozomi's appearance made it doubt whether its power had lost its effect. After all, the 'song' that Nozomi sang before had the ability to weaken its power... But he wasn't singing a 'song' now? And even if his power was revealed, it should be accompanied by golden light and musical notes, right? There's nothing now!
Then why... Could it be that he just endured it?
[No... No! This is impossible!]
Unconvinced, it increased its power. The ground beneath Nozomi's feet collapsed noticeably, and the 'fish' swimming around him shattered again. His body also swayed slightly, and then...
Soon, Nozomi stabilized his body again, and the broken [fish] jumped out again, happily surrounding Nozomi.
[You must be joking...]
"......"
But at this time, Nozomi ignored its surprise, nor did he care about its confusion.
He just lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the little fish swimming happily around him, feeling the emotions and messages conveyed by them, and reached out to gently poke one of them.
The [fish] that was poked also rubbed Nozomi's fingertips affectionately, and even turned over deliberately, allowing him to touch its 'belly.' Its cute and familiar appearance reminded Nozomi of it, or rather, his [blood relative].
Coincidentally, these tiny [swimming fish] were used by his [blood relative] to convey messages to him... Obviously, the rain had brought his greetings to Skadi, and these [swimming fish] were brought by the rain and were Skadi's response.
"...Thank you for your concern."
The corner of his mouth raised a very faint arc to thank the rain for its help, and then he turned his attention to it... to the "Herrscher".
As for the companions around him... humans, Nozomi didn't want to pay attention to them at this time, nor did he dare to pay attention to them.
Because what comes with the seawater is not only "memories," but also the disgust and rejection of humans contained in it, as well as... resentment and hostility.
Nozomi was worried that once he focused his attention on them, the emotions that spanned countless years would directly engulf him, causing him to lose the last of his sanity and swing his blade at his companions... That was something Nozomi did not want to see.
For now, let's focus on it.
As for the other people's concerned and nervous inquiries, and the other people's worried and vigilant glances, Nozomi did not pay any attention to them for the time being and temporarily isolated himself from their perception.
Now... he just needs to [hunt].
Lift his legs, take a step, ignore the pressure on his body, and walk towards it slowly and firmly.
Boom!
With every step forward, the pressure on his body becomes heavier, and the depression under his feet becomes more obvious, but...
It doesn't matter.
He... is used to it.
He has "adapted."
Come to think of it, the "last time" he encountered this level of pressure was probably at the end when Eden felt towards himself… No, I can't think about this.
"sigh…"
He exhaled lightly, put all complicated thoughts behind him, and then... turned his gaze to it.
[Alas--!]
An inexplicable fear enveloped it, and the feeling of being regarded as "prey" and being targeted by a "predator" was conveyed to it very clearly.
"The current will give me speed..."
Nozomi whispered softly, and a light breeze blew, bringing up raindrops and outlining the shape of water flow in the air.
[Fish] were surrounding him, happily swinging their tail fins, and together with him and Nozomi, they stepped into the [ocean current] that existed in mid-air.
Immediately... his figure disappeared.
Only the azure blue water quickly extended, spread, and arrived in front of it in an instant.
[Don't come over here!]
Its voice was no longer as arrogant as before but instead carried a hint of comical fear.
After losing its absolutely overwhelming posture, its composure completely disappeared, and what puzzled it even more... was that Nozomi had already revealed an aura that was similar to that of his [same species].
Isn't that the Herrscher? But if that's the case, then why are we hostile to it? And why are we targeting it? Logically speaking, they are on the same side!
But it couldn't think too much at this moment. The blue water flow had already come to it. It had to disperse it and destroy it,
It gritted its teeth and raised its hand. The power followed its line of sight and spread out instantly along its gestures. A huge impact force was instantly exerted, forcibly dispersing the sweeping water, waves, and even rain. It used its own power to create a "force field" and provide itself with an area that could be called "safe."
But... is it really so?
Clatter--
The sound of light footsteps was fleeting, and in just a moment, he had already rushed into the area and arrived in front of it. The so-called "force field" seemed to have no effect on him at all, and even the small [fish] around him were not affected much and still followed him, happily wagging their tail fins.
Just like what he said before, he... had gotten used to it, had "adapted" to it. As long as the power it released did not reach the next "critical point," it would not have any impact on Nozomi.
With his hand clenched, the azure water flowed quietly, outlining the shape of a strange sword. There was only calmness in his pupils that sparkled like stars. Amid the slight sound of the flowing water, only his soft murmurs could be heard.
[Jumping Waves]
Immediately... the tip of the sword passed through the air, leaving a white mark like waves, and then a blue water blade followed the sword body, emerging from bottom to top.
As if this was not enough, a [fish] circling around him swam quickly, moving forward along the azure sword and disappearing at the tip of the sword. Then... an azure [killer whale] "leaped out" from the air and attacked it as it retreated along with the water blade.
[Damn it... Why can't they be torn apart?!]
It controlled its strength and used its power, but found that the [killer whale] in front of it could not be broken, and the same was true for the blue water blade as if it possessed some mysterious [characteristics] that made it difficult for its power to affect it.
Moreover... it always felt that its power would be less effective when applied to the blue water...
swish…
The gentle wind blew quietly, silently, without leaving any trace... Wait?!
Its eyes suddenly widened, and it barely dodged the incoming water blade, maneuvering itself to dodge the attack of the killer whale while carefully sensing its surroundings.
I can feel... the faint [melody] hidden in the water, and the breeze lingering around the water!
Rain and wind always go together, so what's so strange about this situation? Right?
However, just when it distracted itself and tried to sense the melody and breeze in the water, he... had already followed the flow of water and came in front of it.
He raised high the greatsword made of azure water in his hand. Above him, a mass of water was gathering, constantly squeezing its "force field," tearing open the gap bit by bit, entering this area drop by drop, and after reaching a certain critical point... suddenly pouring in!
And in its ears, the only sound was his soft whisper.
[Tide Hit]
The greatsword fell, and so did the tide.
This time, it was itself that had to bear the horrific impact, but... fortunately, it still managed to break free.
[Damn it... you... you!!! You are just like me! Why are you still...]
"You are so long-winded, Herrscher."
Nozomi's voice was as calm as water.
"Prey... should look like prey."
He placed his hand on his chest, and the azure water gathered around him, forming a water mass. Then he waved his hand gently, and the water turned into spikes and attacked it... No, that's not right! The water was extending! Relying on the water that was diffused in the air, which was not easy to detect, it extended directly to its body and pierced through its body!
[Cough...]
The bright red blood splattered everywhere, but quickly combined with the water in the air, and finally turned into a drop of dark red blood, which stagnated in the air and was slowly dyed by the azure blue, completely losing its original color.
Nozomi raised his hand slightly, twisted his fingertips lightly, and then... snapped his fingers lightly.
[Puff--]
A mouthful of azure blood spurted out of its mouth, and countless tiny azure water blades poured out of its body, cutting its body... It was a pity that the water it sucked in was still not enough, otherwise, this blow would have been enough to kill it.
[Hey... hahaha... you... want to save them? That's... ridiculous!]
With its hazy vision, it looked at Nozomi, who was gradually approaching, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of its mouth.
[Say goodbye to your world! Traitor!]
With a slight movement of his fingertips, Mu continent, which was originally rising slowly, relied on weak inertia to climb up a few centimeters with difficulty, and then began to fall uncontrollably, carrying with it the people who were still pressed on the ground and falling towards the sea.
"......"
Its action was indeed effective. Nozomi's gaze inevitably shifted to look at... them below.
[Ha...]
It let out a smug chuckle, retracted all its outward strength, stretched out its hand, and swung at him who was so close!
Bang!
This attack was extremely effective, directly shattering half of his body... right?
[Varied...]
The splattering blood was not bright red, but azure water. Even the shattered fragments turned back to their original form - water - in an instant.
What it hit was not Nozomi at all, and what it shattered was not Nozomi itself.
It's just the water lingering around Nozomi, it's just the water reflecting Nozomi's figure.
That's all.
"Boring."
Nozomi glanced at it casually, his calm eyes did not change at all.
With a wave of his hand, the water gathered and wrapped around his body.
[Gurgle——]
It quickly opened its mouth and wanted to say something, but what flowed into its throat and nose was only water.
Its body was gradually disappearing as it was being eaten away by the water bit by bit and slowly dissolving into the water.
Its body was gradually disappearing as it was being eaten away by the water bit by bit and slowly dissolving into the water.
It can only flap its limbs panicking in the water, trying to use its own strength to shake off the water around it, or control external forces to disperse the water.
But... it can't do it.
The [melody] flowing in the water stifled its power, and its connection with the outside world became weak. All its perception of the outside world was blocked, as if... it had fallen into the sea.
It is under the sea, and everything else is above the sea.
The azure sea quietly isolates it from the entire world.
It dissolved bit by bit, its shape disappeared bit by bit, and finally turned into a wisp of foam and disappeared quietly.
Only the [Herrscher Core] floating in the water can prove its existence.
"......"
Nozomi didn't look at it, nor did he care what it left behind... His eyes stayed on the rapidly falling Mu Continent, or rather... on them.
The azure water flowed quietly, following his wishes, enveloping the people he wanted to save.
Sakura... needs to be saved, Eden... needs to be saved.
As a result, the two people's bodies were wrapped by the water flow and turned into a wonderful translucent bubble, slowly floating in the air, just like floating and sinking quietly in the seawater.
Hen wants to save... I promised to save him...
Nozomi sorted out his thoughts bit by bit, trying his best not to let himself be swallowed by the resentment.
Elysia... Elysia...
Nozomi's gaze stayed on her for a long time. His outstretched hand paused slightly and retracted slightly, as if in rejection... But in the end, he still stretched out his hand and controlled the azure water to wrap her up.
Kevin... Sue... Aponia... I don't want to save them... Why should I save them? They are all [enemies], [prey]... It doesn't matter if I let them die, right? As for the others... It's even more so, that it's completely unnecessary.
So, Nozomi withdrew his hand and looked at the people who continued to fall with Mu continent with a calm look.
It doesn't matter, let it be... Nozomi thought so.
"Nozomi?" x2
A vague, worried voice sounded softly, and when he shifted his gaze, he noticed that it was Sakura and Eden who were concerned about him.
Their eyes wandered between Nozomi and the continuously descending Mu Continent... It was obvious that they were worried about Nozomi's condition as well as the lives of their other companions.
sigh--
A slight sound rang in his ears, like the sound of a flame burning, very faint and vague.
"Tsk…"
Nozomi smacked his lips in annoyance, trying to find a reason for his next action.
Aponia... Never mind. She has a pretty good relationship with Eden, and Sakura unexpectedly likes chatting with her. And even though she's always weird, her relationship with me is pretty good overall... Never mind, just save her.
Sue… Eden really likes playing chess with him, but it's a pity that I'm not very good at it… He's also Eden's friend, so never mind, just save him.
Kevin... Sakura has a very good opinion of him, and he is also a close friend of Sue, so he might indirectly influence Eden... Forget it, save him!
Hmm? Pardofelis? Why is she here too? Oh... She should be the reserve team of the "Fire Moths", a team that is used to rescue fusion warriors who are unable to move due to injuries... She has a good relationship with Sakura, so save her!
Kosma and Dysdopia... they both have a good relationship with Griseo... Save!
There were also a few people who were on good terms with them... saved!
There are still thousands of disasters... and... and...
Fuck! Just save them all!!!
"....."
Feeling a little annoyed by his tedious and boring thoughts, Nozomi gritted his teeth and forced down the hostility rising in his heart, causing the water to rush. Before Mu Continent fell to the surface of the sea, it just managed to wrap up all the people who could sense it, allowing them to be protected by the bubbles and float in the air so as not to fall directly to their deaths.
Then...
boom!!!!!
The entire Mu Continent smashed directly onto the sea surface. The huge impact shattered it as a whole. Waves were raised and spread in all directions. It was about to turn into huge waves and sweep around. However, with Nozomi's full control, the waves were barely prevented from causing a disaster.
However, Mu Continent was completely shattered, and it could no longer be called a "continent".
Because when the sea water flows back, this place is no longer [land], but the territory of [ocean]. Not to mention that the Mu Continent has been broken into pieces and is still slowly sinking... and the sea water naturally accepts it gently.
After all, the sea water is tolerant.
Finally, when the bubble that enveloped everyone fell back onto the still-sunken land fragments, and when the bubble that enveloped everyone disappeared with a faint "pop" sound...
Everyone's eyes were simultaneously fixed on Nozomi.
The [Ninth Herrscher Subjugation War] is over, but... what should we do with this [Existence] before them?
