Surviving The Fourth Calamity

Chapter 1616: Chapter 194: The Mermaid Prince’s Battle with the Mire

Although Aesces brought pain to ’Snow Cloud Peak’ comparable to divine beasts rebelling, his abilities are indeed impressive.

Four major volcanoes erupted simultaneously in the early dawn of the next day.

Even though the region where these four volcanoes are located is far from the mainland, the violent eruption still caused a continuous, terrifying tsunami to rush towards the shore.

Fortunately, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ had clarified the level of the explosion with Aesces at the start... Just a slight order, and the tsunamis triggered after the explosion, the strongest part, were all directed towards Scaret.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that Triton would turn against them.

Although Scaret has many Great Sages of the Water Element, who can generally mitigate the impact of a tsunami... the waves caused by the simultaneous eruption of four volcanoes they can almost hold back, but thirty-plus, Triton would need to go all out, right?

Then, at that time, will Triton act or not?

If he does not act, although his Scaret descendants may survive, their citizens would be doomed... The lowest level of Scaret People can at most ensure they won’t be drowned, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be swept away by the tsunami.

If he does act... will Aesces seize this opportunity to expel Triton completely from the continent for violating the World Rules he set?

Isn’t that inevitable!

Even a fool understands the concept of seizing the moment!

But, given ’Snow Cloud Peak’s understanding of the Greek Gods, especially those of Poseidon’s lineage, if they really encounter such an incident, they will certainly not take action... and will then pin all the blame on Aesces, fighting him to death.

Not to mention Poseidon’s idiotic operations, just look at the Lady of Pain!

Their family absolutely would not think that they also have any fault, all faults are yours.

Let alone Aesces indeed did something... Of course, if they could really eradicate the problem, that would be it, because it wouldn’t significantly affect the real combat power on Scaret’s side!

Before you can decisively eliminate troublesome enemies with one blow, and when the other side hasn’t started to make unreasonable demands, it’s best to try to maintain a principle of peaceful coexistence.

Things like making double the effort for half the result, Snow Old Dog would definitely not do!

This situation is just right!

Poking his head out and gazing at the colossal figure launched straight into the sky by the volcano, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ sitting on Hill’s Cloud Platform was laughing up to the sky.

Luckily Hill also likes watching commotions, otherwise, their Cloud Platform wouldn’t have been able to find this spot so quickly.

Hill, sitting on the sofa at the back of the Cloud Platform, did not find anything wrong with it.

From nearly thirty maps, they managed to select the final four, actually succeeding in locating the former Goddess of the Sea who left Aesces and Triton helpless, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ indeed has some bragging rights.

Standing behind ’Snow Cloud Peak’, a dozen Undead were whispering to each other: ”Where is this place exactly? Who picked it?”

Without turning his head, ’Snow Cloud Peak’ said: ”Tsk, it was the one drawn by Chalk and Road Eunuch, along with Elder and Cunlü. There were also two others, I don’t know who they are, but looking at the colors, they should be women.”

The ’Susu’ standing behind him suddenly lifted her head.

The ’Qiuqiu’ beside her gently pressed on her shoulder: ”Old Dog always only pays attention to what he wants to.”

’Susu’ gave a bitter smile, turning to look at ’Fenmo Wuxin’ behind Mobi Chenxin, who appeared indifferent, a look of envy crossing her eyes.

The female members of the Undead Tribe exchanged knowing glances having noticed their subtle actions, trying hard to fix their gazes on Snow Old Dog’s back rather than ’Susu’.

”Ah... but I wasn’t wrong, right!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ clapped hands jubilantly, ”Hehe~ I knew that if Ink Brush truly understood Paintbrush’s thoughts, he wouldn’t meet this fate today!

Tsk, but Chalk surely understands Paintbrush better, otherwise, how could they have contended with that woman for so many years!

Hehe~ If only Chalk hadn’t withdrawn...”

”Old Dog, shut your dog mouth, will you?” The mentioned Chalk was extremely displeased, raising their voice angrily.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ shivered entirely, then turned back with an embarrassed smile... It seemed he got a bit too happy.

Though he generally doesn’t mind getting cursed or smacked in the face, nor does he care about hurting some people’s useless pride... like those who do wrong yet expect others not to acknowledge it. Still, when facing something potentially severe enough to make someone rage quit, he’d be slightly more cautious.

Hill couldn’t help tilting his head.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ indeed understands himself quite well.

He knows while he can’t discern female preferences, he can, however, identify this kind of women’s main enemies by their personality traits... Chalk, Cunlü, and Elder, to be honest, they all happen to be nemeses of the kind of overly-enthusiastic women similar to Paintbrush.

Adding Road Eunuch who somehow knows a bit about a radical and ill-tempered goddess like Ambori... Honestly, Hill still can’t understand how ’Lu Huayu’ believes from the heart that Ambori is merely a little unruly, not truly evil.

Is it projecting oneself on to others?

Ambori capable of transforming into a woman and then a lolita in front of him could only indicate this Undead sees her able to do so... Without a bit of belief power supporting it, Ambori is merely half a woman on a wave.

Also, because of ’Lu Huayu’s tales of Doomsday that everyone believed, Ambori managed to freely change form in front of them.

As a Goddess of the Sea heavily affected by Faith Power, Ambori’s every bit of lucidity was actually relying on that Doomsday troupe’s promotion among the Undead.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t ditch the relatively worshipful evil forces over the Great Sea, and eagerly run to inhabit a man-made canal in the Starfall Ocean.

Even if Ambori enjoyed what clear-headed malice meant, she doesn’t wish to tread past paths.

Chaotic evil isn’t an issue, but under no circumstances should one chop off their right foot with their left hand; foolishness is allowed, stupidity is not.

Nonetheless, Chalk that gal truly understands her enemies... Hill could not resist stealing a glance at her.

She pinned down three spots in total, and two of them fell in this domain.

’Snow Cloud Peak’ indeed had Hill park the Cloud Platform between these two points, enabling them to witness such a spectacle firsthand.

As well as the beautiful merman, who hurriedly arrived.

”Seriously, coming so late!” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ watched the lively merman with his long tail causing massive waves on the sea surface, complaining a bit, ”It seems Triton’s control over Aesces’ ocean isn’t as high as I thought!”

Hill hesitated for a few seconds before slowly speaking: ”Triton isn’t foolish; before manifesting himself, he would certainly greet Aesces first.

Even if he can suppress his power to an Eighth Ring elite level, if they really start fighting, there definitely is a possibility of surpassing limits.

I thought you knew, which is why you acted this way?”

”Can I count on...” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ quickly retracted the words almost coming out, ”Instead of relying on an enemy’s compromise, it’s better to force him down that path himself.

I don’t believe Triton could easily eliminate this Goddess of the Sea.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have pleaded with you to bring us over here~

Without Hill’s protection, we wouldn’t be able to withstand such massive war aftershocks.”

Triton wielding the Trident appeared very formidable; however, the massive, rotten mud across him showed not a trace of fear.

Even though the volcanic eruption had burnt many layers off her rotten flesh... the Undead could speak so calmly thanks to Hill, who at the first sign of trouble, released a wind barrier around the Cloud Platform to block offensive odors from invading.

Though Hill at times relishes in teasing the Undead, when his cherished Cloud Platform was among those territories covered in appalling charred scent, he opted for his beloved Cloud Platform.

Yet upon locating Triton, the explosive aura from the colossal rotting corpse, and the determined charge against the Mermaid Prince thereafter, both indicated despite her seemingly absent consciousness, she was very clear about who her foe was.

”This makes it appear she wasn’t originally a deity of this world... Is it similar to how Sha... hmm, Marla got transformed into one of those fronts?” ’Snow Cloud Peak’ suddenly sat up alertly, switching topics.

”Most likely.” Hill pursed his lips to suppress a laugh, ”Maybe she retains a bit of her own will, much like the once-devoured Crocodile Lord by Marla.”
