Extraordinary Voyage-Chapter 564 - 501: Legends and the Endless Ocean

Following his finger, the gazes of Aiven and Olivia shifted downward, to a massive island with boundaries beyond even the extraordinary vision's reach.

Hiss——

They took a sharp breath, their pupils slightly contracted, muscles tensed instantly, a reflexive reaction of humans when faced with terrifying phenomena.

In human understanding, ordinary sea monsters are already terrifying enough to dominate the vast seas.

Their strength is mostly linked to their size.

The smallest among them are terrifying behemoths over thirty meters in length, while the most supreme, the "Sea God's Son," exceeds a thousand meters, almost as large as an island.

But what had they seen now?

A sea monster so massive that it was impossible to see its edge at first glance. How powerful must it be? Humanity, even its prideful battleships, seemed as insignificant as dust in its presence!

They stood dumbfounded for a long time.

Until Fisher saw the two slowly come to terms with this information, their rigid bodies gradually relaxing, he began to explain to them:

"The island is the body, those nine large shadows are actually the tails of Lord Kraken. This extraordinary being, second only to the gods, is going through the most important moment of its life.

In fact, this is related to why we are here..."

He was about to continue speaking when Aiven raised his hand to interrupt:

"I apologize, Bishop Fisher, please wait a moment, there is another envoy to arrive."

Saying this, he retrieved a hexagonal piece of brass from the Shadow Secret Vault, and using his spiritual light, activated it, causing the blue witchcraft light along its nine edges to pulse like breathing.

Buzz——

A hum followed, as the hexagon seemed to establish contact with a presence in the void, completing a corresponding exchange of information.

The next moment.

Centered around the brass hexagon, a blue light projection appeared before the three, initially a two-dimensional plane which quickly filled into a three-dimensional figure.

Aiven and Olivia stood at attention and saluted:

"Good day, Principal!"

Upper-Rank Wizard Princeton, having crossed half of the human-known world in projection form to this icy land, nodded slightly to the two before turning to Fisher and greeted with diplomatic formality:

"Nice to meet you, Bishop Fisher, I am Princeton from Phaletis."

No titles were necessary, as the old principal believed the other party would surely recognize him.

"Hello, Principal Princeton, it is my honor to meet you here."

Since allying with Phaletis, represented by the Tulip, Fisher had done his homework. How could he not understand this former Navy Marshal, current principal of the Royal Navy Academy, a rare Tier 3 Grand Wizard on the Old Continent?

Meeting this influential figure within the Tulip personally, he felt pressured yet realized the alliance proposal likely posed no issues.

For a busy individual to invest time and energy, the matter must indeed be significant.

Hilus posed considerable pressure on the Tulip, lacking fundamental conflicts and possessing complementary forces fully met the alliance prerequisites.

"Principal, the situation is as follows..."

With the arrival of the last key envoy, Fisher began narrating the story's background.

Then.

Aiven felt as if he'd heard a mythical tale.

This "King of Sea Monsters," Kraken, was the one every Sea Monster Knight should thank, for their "Sea Monster Horn" each bore his name.

As a great entity with divinity like a demigod, his status was higher than all sea monsters, including the "Sea God's Son."

Though novel, this insider knowledge merely confirmed longstanding extraordinary speculations about Kraken's true form.

The crucial point lay in the legends of the "Ancient Land Turtle" clan.

Legends say that in the myriad years following the birth of life's ancestors in the Spring of Life, the first innately divine "Ancient Land Turtle," Tartarus, not only propagated its own species but also "gave birth" to all the continents!

It drew various materials from the void beyond the Material World, birthing the three major lands: the first and largest land, the "Source Continent" Atropos, the second, the "New Continent" Crotto, and the third, the "Southern Continent" Lachesis.

Though it's a legend even the Black Sea Goddess couldn't confirm.

Existing descendants of the Ancient Land Turtles have indeed birthed myriad bizarre islands, each with distinct rules, proven by the mysterious islands and secret realms in the enigmatic Broken Star Sea stemming from this clan.

Of course, creating islands and lands seemingly out of nowhere isn't due to having a status higher than gods but is a unique racial talent granted by the world.

This "King of Sea Monsters," Kraken, is also a member of this clan, and the last offspring of the Ancient Land Turtles.

If they continued southward from their location.

Encircled by storms and currents, the world's southern polar region also hosts a place known as the "Eternal White Land" akin to the far north. This is an ancient graveyard of the land turtle clan, where upon death they congealed into land, buried beneath polar ice up to 4000 meters thick.
