“Daddy?” Bo Saixi tilted her head like an innocent kid.

“…” Yunlong stared at her with a shocked look.

“Neo…”

[Scanning…]

[The effect of your whole spiritual sea overpowering her spiritual sea, causing a majority of her memories to disappear permanently, to the point she was a child]

Yunlong’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan twitched because he couldn’t sense anything within Bo Saixi’s spiritual sea.

It’s just a blank space filled with only some golden clouds and a vast blue ocean. He tried to use Heavenly Ruler to reshape/turn back her spiritual sea, but it won’t work.

He can’t paint over a nearly blank canvas with his spiritual power, or Bo Saixi would be affected by his presence.

“Hmm?” Yunlong moved his gaze to the corner of Bo Saixi’s spiritual sea and saw a floating blue spear glowing dimly with golden brilliance.

“Sea God,” He whispered solemnly. “I knew every Priestess possessed Sea God as their martial soul because they were his descendants, but Bo Saixi seems a little special.”

Yunlong tried to graze the blue spear with his hand and felt a sudden connection with Sea God’s Trident symbol on his forehead.

The feelings Bo Saixi had the moment before her consciousness faded from the device appeared in Yunlong’s mind and caused him to smile wryly.

“Hopeless, huh,” He commented while seeing a flickering golden figure in the blue spear. “Bo Saixi, even at the last moment, you still want to fight back.”

This golden figure is Bo Saixi’s piece of consciousness, which got separated before she lost control of herself. The last attempt from her to get her body back.

Yunlong brought the piece of consciousness onto his palm and soothed it with his pure spiritual energy, waking it up for a moment.

“Yunlong?” Bo Saixi’s consciousness opened her eyes.

“How did you enter my spiritual sea?”

She stared at Yunlong’s eyes and sighed, “Nevermind, To think I would get caught off guard by the enemy.”

“To be fair, that device flew through space,” Yunlong commented while shaking his head. “You must have a truly high sense to grasp it.”

“It’s understandable.”

Bo Saixi’s face hardened because Yunlong’s comment made her feel weird.

She sighed again and tried to control her body but couldn’t even lift a finger. “Huh?” She frowned immediately.

Yunlong stopped Bo Saixi from overriding her body and naturally stated, “You can’t move your body,”

“Everything below your neck is basically paralyzed now.”

“It was the effect of the device removal.”

“M-My body…” Bo Saixi’s eyes widened in shock.

Yunlong smiled and added, “Don’t worry, I can heal it.”

“We only have to recover your spiritual sea slowly, err…”

“Also…”

“When I was helping you, some of your memories actually were wiped permanently.”

Bo Saixi’s consciousness opened her mouth a little but couldn’t say anything because some feeble memories are not worth her life.

“It’s okay.” She replied calmly.

Even though losing precious memories saddened her, it was nothing compared to her life. The memory of when she met him would get forgotten forever.

‘Tang Chen…’ Bo Saixi’s consciousness closed her eyes.

“Are you okay?” Yunlong asked with a worried tone.

She nodded and answered, “I’m okay… Let’s recover my spiritual sea first.”

“How is my mind conditioned outside?”

Yunlong somehow was taken aback by her question, but Bo Saixi suddenly gained a piece of the latest memories, which caused her mouth to open in awe.

“H-How…” She muttered and imagined herself calling Yunlong “Daddy.”, causing her face to blush in shame.

They stared at each other awkwardly and caused the atmosphere to be stagnant.

Bo Saixi’s consciousness massaged her forehead and commented, “Looks like the remaining memories inside my spiritual sea created a new consciousness to control my body.”

“It’s probably my past self when I was five or six.”

She moved her gaze back to Yunlong and said, “I want you to take care of me for a while.”

“…I-Is that okay?” She nervously added.

Yunlong shook his head and replied, “You’re the observer of my trials, so I will try my best to help you too.”

“It seems we have to return to reality now.”

“A few more battleships have arrived near Sea God’s seashore.”

“Then, I’ll fall asleep.” Bo Saixi’s consciousness closed her eyes because she couldn’t do anything useful besides recovering her spiritual sea.

However, it was a selfish lie because she won’t fall asleep to recover her spiritual.

Bo Saixi would only watch what happaned in the outside world silently from the inside instead.

“Please notify me later if you need help, okay?” Yunlong said while disappearing from Bo Saixi’s spiritual sea.

Bo Saixi’s consciousness raised her gaze to the sky and whispered, “Daddy… How embarrassing.”

“Though, It wasn’t that bad.”

Yunlong opened his eyes to the real world and saw Bo Saixi staring at him curiously.

“Let’s go back first, err… Little Saixi.” He placed her onto his back and teleported them back to the surface.

BOOM!

A missile launched at the Sea God Island, and Yunlong’s clone returned it with teleportation, causing the battleship to destroy itself.

“Woah, firework.” Bo Saixi’s eyes sparkled.

“Hmm?” The clone turned around and saw the original with Bo Saixi on his back.

“What happened to her?” He asked weirdly.

Yunlong chuckled wryly and answered, “It’s a long story.”

“How is the situation here?”

The clone canceled himself and returned with some memories to Yunlong.

Yunlong frowned because the battleship arrived and returned because their plan failed. Some clones have interrogated the member who operated the battleships and found they were bait.

Their target was Bo Saixi, the priestess of Sea God Island, a key to Sea God’s inheritance.

The Sun and Moon Continent didn’t fully know about the Douluo Dalu world’s history because the key was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, a sentient item left by Sea God.

Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is not just an essential item left by the Sea God, but also Sea God Core, which was likewise a part of the Sea God’s Trident.

Yunlong picked a random stone in his inventory and commented indifferently, “Well, someone doesn’t learn history properly.”

He threw the stone with a powerful force and caused a spark to appear in the air, hitting a stealth drone a few kilometers away from Sea God Island.

Boom!

“Kaguya, use the sealing arrays.” He commented naturally.

Kaguya, who approached him from the seashore, nodded and brought a scroll from her spatial ring.

She pricked her finger a little and swiftly swiped it across the scrolls, summoning six rays of sealing points.

Sea God Island quickly was covered by a translucent barrier filled with never-ending natural energy.

Yunlong used the Heaven Eyes and monitored everything within 100 km territory. He touched the seawater and planted another sealing technique.

“Burying Light…” He applied the Darkness law to seawater, so any living beings hostile to Sea God Island would get blinded easily.

They couldn’t travel underwater because any light gets blinded instantly.

“No, this is not enough,” Yunlong commented while making space and time barriers around the Sea God Island.

“We are far from done…”

He also applied Light law to the sky, making the Sea God Island disappear from any detection.

Kaguya arrived on Yunlong’s side and asked, “Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m okay,” Yunlong replied with a smile.

He pointed his finger at the pouted Bo Saixi and continued, “But she’s not, so can you heal her?”

“Daddy!” Little Saixi complained while wriggling like a worm.

“I’m okay! I can move around!”

“This, see this.”

Even though Little Saixi possessed Bo Saixi’s well-endowed physique, her current action showed how immature she was.

Yunlong flicked Little Saixi’s forehead lightly and saw her whimpering in pain.

“Ouchie…” Little Saixi closed her eyes.

She rubbed herself onto Yunlong’s back and cried, “Why did you do that, Daddy?”

Kaguya’s mouth twitched in annoyance when seeing Bo Saixi’s current character.

“Did something happen to her head?” She questioned because Bo Saixi was such a dignified woman before.

Yunlong nodded and explained everything to Kaguya, leaving her speechless for a moment.

“This…” Kaguya frowned at Bo-, no Little Saixi.

Yunlong laughed because of Kaguya’s reaction and entrusted Little Saixi to her. “Here, heal here.” He said with a calm tone.

He patted Little Saixi’s head and added, “Be a good girl, and I’ll give you a reward.”

“O-Oh, Okie, Daddy!” Little Saixi answered with an excited tone.

Yunlong patted her again and turned around, receiving all his shadow clones’ memories.

‘What a joke…’ He looked at the south.

Little Saixi amateurishly was hugged by Kaguya in a weird position. Yet, she could still see Yunlong’s expression from behind, which caused her eyes to widen because his face was completely different now.

‘Daddy looks so angry.’ She thought solemnly.

Yunlong disappeared from his position and floated in the sky with a cold expression.

“Twice,” He whispered indifferently.

“Greed, come here.”

A black sword floated from Yunlong’s finger and entered his grasp.

‘B-Boss.’ Greed nervously responded.

Yunlong’s eyes shone with a violent red luster, and he saw a fleet of battleships move away.

[Over 200,000 hundred people got detected within the fleet]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony triggered by your killing aura]

“It’s not about the number…”

“It’s about sending a message.”

He raised Greed to the sky and gradually sliced down with a slow yet precise movement.

“First Verse, Kill.”

A red light flew through the void and approached the fleet of the battleships.

As the powerful slash arrived, the whole part of the sea seemed to be swallowed by an unknown force, leaving a deep hole filled with intense killing intent.

The people on the fleet couldn’t even blink before the inevitable death swallowed them, but Yunlong wasn’t such a good person.

He added “Illusion.” for each person on the fleet, granting them the worst death they could imagine. Even though they were simply a decoy to get Bo Saixi, their mission and loyalty were clear from the beginning.

“Death with your loyalty to the Sun and Moon continent.” He closed his eyes slowly.

A barrage of notifications arrived because of Mortal Sin: Gluttony’s effect.

[You have killed a spirit king]

[You have killed…]

[You have killed…]

[You have killed…]

[…]

[…]

[…]

[…]

[…]

[…]

Yunlong heard each notification with an emotionless expression because he couldn’t feel anything. There was no such thing as guilt in his heart for some reason.

They attacked what was necessary for his goal, so they deserved it.

“When did I become such a person,” Yunlong questioned himself.

“If Bibi Dong was in Bo Saixi’s position…”

“How angry will I become?”

“Nah, that can’t be.” He shook his head.

“I’ve planted my Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan on every one that is meaningful on my side.”

[You have reached Greed Counter]

[A new form unlocked]

“Well, you are getting a new form.” Yunlong raised Greed a little.

The black sword shone brightly with green color and slowly transformed into a black halberd.

It’s a 2-meter halberd with a three-spiked spearhead, which had the shape of a monster head. There are eyes on the spearhead.

[Name: Greed]

[Third Form: Hellbringer Halberd]

[Ability: Gluttony’s Beasts]

“Greed, explain.” He commented, to which the Ego responded immediately.

‘Right away, Boss!’ Greed turned into her human form.

“Ehem.”

“Gluttony’s Beast is the ability to summon everything you have devoured with Mortal Sin’s Gluttony.”

“However, not in their original form.”

“An example of that.” Greed raised her hand and summoned a monster.

It’s a black-furred lion with an ominous dark aura and piercing red eyes, similar to when Yunlong used Mortal Sin: Gluttony.

“This is a random lion you killed years ago.”

“No, Red-Eyed Hungry Lion would be a proper name for it now.”

Yunlong frowned and commented, “I see that each beast changed according to the former abilities.”

Greed nodded and added, “They can use their former power, which was weaker/stronger according to your strength.”

“Every beast has one similarity. They are hungry.”

“You also can feed these beasts to the third form and increase its attack power, imagining it like upgrading a weapon and adding it +1 on it.”

“This ability could stack up to 999.”

She resummoned the Gluttony’s Beast back and added, “Is it a good skill?”

Yunlong stared at the black-haired girl in front of him and responded, “Yeah.”

“I have to check its limit, though.”

“Then, see you again, boss.” Greed smiled and snuggled her head under Yunlong’s palm.

Yunlong watched Greed turn into a ring again and slowly wrapped herself around his finger.

He created four clones to gather more information in every direction and returned to Sea God Island.

Yunlong landed on the Sea God Island’s beach and saw Little Saixi rubbing her head on Kaguya’s lap.

“Mommy, give me more!” Little Saixi opened her mouth.

“Here.” Kaguya smiled and fed Little Saixi the sweet pills Yunlong gave her beforehand.

“Ah, welcome back, Yunlong.” She added while looking at Yunlong.

“Welcome back, Daddy!” Little Saixi lifted her body and waved her hand excitedly.

‘Well, her body healed.’ Yunlong approached them with a defeated sigh.

“I’m back.” He calmly answered.
