Lord Shadow

Chapter 1631 Boiling and Howling

The Blood Sea.

This is one of the Ten Seas in the world. Mystical, deadly mysterious.

This is the most common attributes that all the Ten Seas shares with each other.

In the Blood Sea, there is many terrifying creatures.

From the fishes, to the monsters, all of them have this ghastly quality to them

There's also zombie-like creatures. Their flesh is rotten and sometimes they could be seen on the rocks near the Blood Sea shores.

Unlike the mutated homo sapiens, these zombie-like creatures did not attack people unless they are provoked. And when they are killed, they turned into a mist of blood.

And this mist of blood would return to the Blood Sea.

Hence there is a theory proposed by the Order of Thinkers that the Blood Sea is alive.

And all of the creatures in the Blood Sea are creatures that are created from the droplet of water in the Blood Sea

These zombies, these terrifying fishes is only the small fry.

Those who dares to sail the Blood Sea once recorded that they met giant terrifying sea creatures that would sometimes appears on the full moon.

Some said that it looks like a killer whale but with a sharp horn on the top of its head, its body rotten and bleeding

And some who dares to swim inside it and live to tell the story, told a story that if you swim deep enough you would see creatures that resembles some kind of eldritch horror

And if you do not have a strong mind, you would be ensnared by these terrors and you would leave your life on the bottom of the Blood Sea

In the morning, in the afternoon, in the evening, there is also ghostlike creature that hovers above the waters of the Blood Sea

When you come near, these ghostlike creatures appears like a mirage, and it was almost like they were never there.

This Blood Sea encircles the Antarctica, a red sea. Before, anyone who is living in the Antarctica had the privilege of seeing all kinds of ice plants and ice-based monsters and creatures

The sea however was still blue at that time.

But now, the entire sea surrounding the Antarctica is red.

And this redness also emanated a certain aura. At times, this aura is evident and could be seen with the naked eye, wafting toward the sky, like it wanted to erode the colors of the sky and paint it red

The Order of Thinkers had been dealing with the matters of the Blood Sea almost every day

But it is no that they hate it. Any other organization would hate it if their territory is surrounded by something like the Blood Sea

However, not for the Order of Thinkers. They instead very much like that such a mysterious place parked right beside their territories

Yes, they have to deal with the ghostlike creatures, and the zombies and the terrifying sea creatures, but the Blood Sea itself has some benefit to the Order of Thinkers

It is known that among the Seven Great Power, the weakest in military might is the Order of Thinkers

They are great researchers, brilliant inventors, innovate scientist but when it is about the military, they faltered

They did not have a general that could calm the area under them. They uses this technology to surveil their people and to guard their lands.

They lack presence in the world politics and they also lack any politicking in their own regime

One might think that such a place would be the ideal place but everything when it is brought to the extreme would always leads to misfortune

When there is people, there is rivers and lake, a stagnant water is not good

People with great ambition did not want to enter a service in a regime where their abilities is not appreciated.

The Order of Thinkers are for thinkers. And if they are just thinkers and scientist, researchers, inventors, then there is nothing wrong with it

But when you are a world power, and your land is up for grabs, you could not do without some deterrence

Of course, it is not like the Order of Thinkers did not have any weapons. Ironically enough, out of all the Seven Great Powers, they are the world powers with the most weapon.

From ballistic missile, to supersonic weapons, to high tech sci fi weapons, you said it and they have it all.

Each year, they invent something new.

Weapons are good. And weapons are powerful

But if weapons are so powerful and so good, then why is it that people do not fear the Order of Thinker but fear only one man in the world?

Because in this world, technology could not keep up with magic. Technology is rooted in step-by-step method.

You could not conjure some mechanical principle out of thin air.

But people like Death Monarch could controls the heavens and the Earth and no matter what weapon you use, unless you are on the same level as Death Monarch, how could you think of a weapon that could contains him?

This is an era of Gods.

And it is an era of heroes.

When the Multiversal Convergence happens, they were brought out from their dreams. Azief easily trampled on their so-called weapons like they were rag dolls.

And because of that the Order of Thinkers had changed a bit and they are now focusing on strengthening their military and the appearance of the Blood Sea is like sending water when the Order of Thinkers is about to die of thirst

Why?

One of the problems of why the Order of Thinkers is so weak is because they did not have dungeons where they could train their soldiers.

Most of their soldiers are also not elite. Some of them are augmented by mechanical suits or cybernetic technology

But none of them could hold a candle to the elite division in the world.

The Three Great Arm of Pandemonium, the Golden Legion of the World Government, the Republic Elite Legion is considered the elite division of army in the world

They could pacify one side of the world just relying on these division.

That is what the Order of Thinkers lack.

The Blood Sea is dangerous but the small fry of the monsters that appears in the Blood Sea is a great opportunity for the people living in the Antarctica to gain experience and breaking though the realms.

Not to mention the rare minerals that emerged when the Blood Sea fills the area.

These Blood Sea has many minerals that could be used to forge great weapon.

At this time, just like usual, the Order of Thinkers is doing another diving program toward the Blood Sea.

But then all of their submarines quickly rise sup to the surface and the people inside the submarine all flew out from their sub

And when they look up, they see the skies and they frowned.

One of them is Eric

Eric Strauss. He is tall as ever and as lanky as ever and he is still wearing that monocle. And even though he just flew out of a submarine, he is still wearing a white lab coat.

He look at the sky and then he rotates the frames of his monocle into a circle and his eyes narrow

"Rules of the world condensed into aura, spectrum of colours that bends reality" he sighed.

"This kind of surge of energy…..someone is undergoing a breakthrough" Eric and his team was just fifty meter below the sea when their submarine detected a very huge fluctuation of energy in the radar

This is not the first time that they are inside the Blood Sea and there is a fluctuation of energy.

Instead, it could be said that it is a usual occurrence for it to be a fluctuation of energy in the Blood Sea.

But this time…..this time it is different. This fluctuation of energy is so powerful that Eric felt that continuing to go deeper would spell disaster

And now as he sees the sky, he could not help but think his assessment was correct

"Death Monarch" Eric has always been smart. And so, with one glance he cold deduce the situation.

After the Multiversal Convergence, breakthrough did not affect the world anymore.

The world was wrecked during the Multiversal Convergence but it also breathed new life to Earth.

The gravity is stronger but humans are also stronger so it did not change much. The ceiling of the sky become higher.

All in all, there is a lot of improvement to Earth. And because of that breakthrough did not affect the weather of the world anymore.

So, now, seeing the sky like this, there is only one person that came to his mind whose breakthrough would stirs the whole world like this.

Only one person.

Death Monarch.

And he look at the sky. Look at the Sea, floating in the air, absorbing ghost and dead souls.

"What kind of sea is this?" Eric mutters to himself.
