“Oh my goodness, the mysterious Oreo clan members have special powers too. They can control the wind!”
“Duh. They used to be among the Royal Clans previously, around a hundred thousand years ago, so of course their powers would be pretty strong!”
“Holy sh*t, that special power is so cool. Quick, take a look, a whirlpool has already formed in the sea!”
“This power must be invincible on the seas. It doesn’t matter if they use it to speed up their ships or exert their influence over other people’s ships because they’re both great ways to use this power!”
“I’m so, so jealous. The toad clan’s only power is that we can spray corrosive slime. It’s rubbish compared to theirs!”
“So? We freshwater crabs can only experience a five-second long increase in speed, and it only works when we’re escaping. It’s infuriating.”
“…”
The mysterious warrior named Simba stood at the bow of the ship and began directing the wind’s movements, just as everyone had expected.
Although most of the ordinary foreign races were shocked, it did not come as a surprise to the more powerful foreign races.
To assess how powerful one’s powers were, they not only had to examine their properties, but also how one utilized them.
Currently, based on the control that Golden Lion King and Simba were exhibiting, it seemed to be quite powerful, but not to the point where people could not accept it.
Hope One’s lights shone across the surface of the sea and allowed everyone to see the Oreo clan’s first enemy in battle.
It was pitch black, as if a portion of the sea had changed colors!
Some flew in the sky, some swam through the water, some stood on rafts, and some rowed boats.
Although their boats were miles behind Hope One, they made up for it in sheer numbers, shocking everyone who was watching the live broadcast stream!
Leopard men, cat people, Taurens, werewolves… These were ordinary foreign races that were similar to humans despite their odd looks, and did not seem very intimidating.
However, there were also spiders with human faces, praying mantises with two blades attached to their arms, bats with babies’ faces, and centipedes that had eyes all over their bodies…
While they were all humanoids and looked different anatomically, they still possessed similar traits with the other foreign races.
These insect foreign races might be a foreign race just like them, but it did not stop them from feeling disgusted at the sight of such creatures.
Moreover, although this was a squad comprising various soldiers from different squads, they had a strong visual impact that was comparable to a uniformed and well-organized squad.
To some extent, their squad was even scarier!
Even Su Mo, who put on a brave front as he stood at the bow of the ship, secretly gulped.
A person who suffered from trypophobia would have probably fainted immediately if they witnessed this scene in front of them.
If Su Mo had not forced himself to calm down, he would probably have grabbed his machine gun and begun to pepper the approaching squad with bullets to suppress his nervousness.
Thankfully, due to his constant mental training and the murderous aura he had cultivated during his killing spree out at sea several hours ago, Su Mo managed to calm himself down and focus on controlling the lion clan’s wind ability.
“I believe everyone is seeing what I’m seeing. These foreign races are harboring evil intentions as they launch their first attack against the Oreo clan.”
“So, in such a situation, we don’t need much of a reason to fight back. We won’t scurry away in fright if that’s what you’re thinking we’re about to do.”
“Everyone, we’ll talk again once we’re done with the first battle!”
The ragtag squad still had another kilometer to go before they clashed with Hope One. Su Mo had control over the surrounding hundred meters of the ship.
Connie took advantage of the remaining time she had left and continued speaking, using her moral high ground to verbally assault the other party.
Although the leaders of numerous foreign races were watching the stream, they still did not post any comments on the comments screen even after hearing what Connie had to say.
However, everyone on the sea now hastened their movements.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe already tense atmosphere was turned up to an even higher level. Based on the speed both parties were traveling at, it would take less than half a second for them to collide.
“Simba, you just have to focus on controlling. I’ll inject the energy!”
Su Mo currently could not spare Connie any attention and reply to what she had said because it was his first time facing so many enemies at once.
The OS sounded like it was going into overdrive in his earphones as it transmitted coordinates every five seconds and suggested the best times to attack.
When the two parties were about 400 meters apart, Su Mo began swinging his left arm in a circular motion.
When they were 300 meters apart, Su Mo’s right arm began moving as well; it looked like he was making knife-cut noodles as he made rapid cross-cuts in the air.
This method was somewhat similar to the typhoon barrier he had used before but, this time, Su Mo did not create a protective perimeter around Hope One.
Instead, with Connie’s help, he created a massive whirlwind that reached the clouds!
On Earth, whirlwinds were classified as strong, but small-scale, convective weather occurrences that suddenly occurred in local areas.
They were vortexes of wind formed by the instabilities and turbulence created by bad weather.
Under the effect of the wind’s speed and direction, the upward airflow will generate vertical velocity. In other words, the whirlwind would begin rotating horizontally.
The principles seemed a little difficult to understand, but as a mischievous child, Su Mo’s favorite activity as a kid was stepping on tiny dust devils!”
The tiny dust devils that were formed inland were rarely major, and it always brought about an extraordinary feeling when you stepped into one because you would feel like you were flying into the air.
However, when they were formed in places near the sea or on the sea itself…
Once it became a waterspout, it would also become every experienced ship captain or sailor’s biggest nightmare!
When they were about 200 meters apart, Su Mo had already managed to construct and form a weak whirlwind.
At the same time, the air currents near Hope One started flowing more rapidly because of the whirlwind. This meant that the flying foreign races would have their dreams of breaking through the barrier crushed.
The foreign races floating along in rafts and swimming in the sea also sensed the impending danger, and they had no choice but to halt their approach.
However, they had forgotten something very important…
They were not on land now. It was not a scenario where two armies stood in their respective positions during a face-off.
They were on the sea!
An ocean of infinite possibilities!
If the enemy won’t move, I’ll move!
Under the OS’s control, even as the foreign races retreated slowly, the distance between the two parties shrank to 150 meters.
At that moment, the foreign races also realized that it was going to be impossible for them to escape. Thus, they raced forward once more.
In an instant, all sorts of weird powers appeared across the sea’s surface, making it look like a scene from a Hollywood movie.
Some shot fireballs like Kobold mages, and there were also icy spikes that sent a chill running down one’s spine.
Disgusting-looking slime splashed everywhere, which were accompanied by more than a hundred barbs that were about 50 centimeters long.
As the battle progressed, the two parties actively engaging in the battle would naturally have no time to pay attention to the numerical disparity or how epic this historical battle looked.
However, millions of viewers who belonged to the foreign races watched intently from their spot on top of Hope One. They felt like they were watching a movie as they felt their muscles tense up.
Moreover, Connie had enabled permissions for foreign races who had a strength rating of at least eight and had permissions to conduct live broadcast streams of their own to speak without requesting permission beforehand.
Several foreign races realized that this was a great chance for them to gain more fame, and they immediately connected to the stream and began commentating on the battle’s proceedings, just like how news stations did back on Earth.
Among them, the Silver-haired Mastiff, though lacking a particularly high strength rating at only 8.1, had impeccable hosting skills and became the top choice for most of the ordinary foreign races viewing the stream.
“Here we can see a foreign races’ squad of massive size formed from various races. From what we can see, there are at least 20 different races in this squad.”
“Given that it’s such a large squad, and that it comprises so many different races. I’m willing to bet that this whole thing was pre-planned!”
“However, even when faced with this squad, the two warriors from the mysterious Oreo clan do not seem to be flustered. Look, they’re still controlling the whirlwind that’s slowly rising from the sea’s surface. I can’t believe they’re not planning to escape, do they really think that…”
“Their mortal bodies are comparable to that of a god!”
The Silver-haired Mastiff yelled and screamed as he watched the ragtag squad’s attacks fail to travel across the hundred-meter distance to hit Hope One, and his cries caused all of the ordinary foreign races to become agitated!
Most ordinary foreign races would go through their entire lives without ever seeing something like this!
“The King of Lions, which belongs to the Oreo clan, is still moving forward. Their whirlwind is moving in tandem with it at the same time.”
“Oh, no. This is not good news for the foreign races’ squad. The Oreo clan can launch attacks from over a hundred meters away, but the furthest distance their attacks can cover is less than fifty meters!”
“They’re going to meet!”
There were only 120 meters left between them!
Although the whirlwind had not actually come into contact with the foreign races’ squad yet, the troops perched on the rafts in front had already been thrown into the sea because of the crashing waves.
There were also members of the foreign races who did not react in time and sank into the sea when their raft overturned.
The lion clan’s wind ability seemed mediocre and unimpressive when used on land.
However, in Su Mo’s hands, it became one of the most impressive foreign race powers on the sea!
Connie, who was standing behind Su Mo and helping to contribute some energy, could also sense how Su Mo was controlling this whirlwind.
An odd feeling crept over her.
“So… wind can be used in this way too!”
Connie was impressed when she saw how Su Mo controlled the wind and exerted so much power with it despite not using any complicated tactics.
However, she did not know…
An odd feeling had also crept over Su Mo when he saw the enemies retreating in terror because he had never used the power of a blessing like this before.
“Is this… how an individual transcendence feels?”
He controlled the whirlwind and watched as it moved around the sea according to his will.
A sense of power that Su Mo had never sensed before washed over him.
Breathe in… breathe out!
The whirlwind trembled and quivered as his breath rose and fell.
As they continued injecting energy into the whirlwind, the wind speed had long since surpassed the seventh-level on the Beaufort scale and had become even more terrifying with the help of nature’s power.
It was perfectly reasonable that their opponent, the foreign races, would suffer such a quick and devastating defeat!
Yes, they had not even had the chance to fight head-to-head!
All it took was a whirlwind on the sea to scare the foreign races’ squad, who were terrified of dying.
No one dared to take the lead, and no one wanted to walk straight to their deaths. Everyone wanted to wait for the whirlwind to end, and for the strength-based foreign races’ squad to provide them with cover and support.
From the audience’s point of view, it looked like…
Su Mo had managed to stop tens of thousands of foreign races by himself!
“Oh my god, this mysterious lion warrior has made thousands of foreign races retreat all by himself.”
“There is no way his strength rating is just 3.8!”
If you fought ten people by yourself, your strength rating would be a 2.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf you fought a hundred people by yourself, your strength rating would be a 3.
If you fought five hundred people by yourself, your strength rating would at least be a 6.
Whereas if you fought a thousand people by yourself, your strength rating would be at least 8!
However, the foreign races were all startled after watching Su Mo take on and defeat thousands of people by himself. Even the Silver-haired Mastiff host was stunned.
The whirlwind that Simba had created was like a natural barrier, and no one dared to cross it.
It was the epitome of “individual heroism”. It was an eye-opening and mind-numbing thing to watch!
However…
“Holy sh*t, what the f*ck… is that?”
“Guys, guys, look. Look over there!”
Despite being suspended in mid-air, not everyone could get a clear view of the battlefield while it raged at dawn.
However, when the Silver-haired Mastiff stuttered and caught everyone’s attention, the screen exploded with comments!
Countless question marks and exclamation points flowed across the screen like a river.
At the same time, the foreign races’ comments screen experienced something legendary for the first time…
It stalled!
Over 200 million people were watching the stream together. The ordinary foreign races and Five Royal Clans held their breath and watched intently as…
A white “mountain” rose behind the foreign races’ squad!
The mountain was not overly high. It was only around 30 meters tall.
The mountain was not that big either. It was just large enough to cover the entirety of the ragtag foreign races’ squad.
However, this mountain was not a mountain!
It was…
A tsunami!
After using the sea wave horn for the first time and spending 1000 Disaster Points, the sea wave horn exuded so much power that even Su Mo found it difficult to believe.
It was different from controlling the lion clan’s wind ability.
This time, after witnessing the tsunami that was as large as a “mountain”, even Su Mo realized that humans were no match for the immense power that nature held.
As for the foreign races, who turned around to look when they felt something rising up behind them, it would end up being…
The most unforgettable scene of their lives!
Splash…
At that crucial moment, the OS announced that the first squad was less than 10 meters away from Hope One.
Su Mo smiled as he shook his head slowly and signaled for Connie to turn off the live broadcast stream.
Treasure chests would appear if humans killed a foreign race member, and it was bound to raise questions among the foreign races if they noticed.
Thus, the image that was destined to stay in the foreign races’ minds was:
Waves as high as mountains, and crazy winds swirling through the sky.
As for what happened later, the scene would represent death, technology, and Old Devil Su’s metal hail of bullets.
It was left to the sea to become…
The only audience member!
