The Evil God Summoned by the Saintess-Chapter 83 - 81: Sea Successor White Whale

The anomalies in Huijin City had already spread throughout the world via the Star Spirit Network.

Countless people were watching that scene resembling the end of the world.

The other four empires, through various channels, had learned that the Holy Court knew the summoning would happen but just watched as it was completed—now, all eyes were on the Holy Court’s blunder.

They believed that if something like this occurred within their empire, they would have crushed the heretics before they even had a chance to act.

While all sides snickered at the Holy Court and the Royal Family busied themselves, the Forbidden Forest Lake behind the Divine Magic Academy reflected everything overhead on its surface.

No one but Hilia and Rose witnessed this scene.

Following Rose’s instructions, Hilia had already hung the Sea Siren’s Eye on the fishhook, ready to cast it into the water at any moment.

"How much longer until the white whale arrives?"

The phenomenon in the sky had dragged on for a while, and Hilia was growing impatient.

"Once the white whale finishes absorbing the first wave of fear, it’ll come—almost there," Rose said.

"It’s eating before it even appears?"

"Why else make such a big scene? I don’t know what the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association’s goal for summoning the white whale is, but the whale itself is here just to eat."

"Oh, I thought the white whale was here to spread the Evil God’s doctrine or something."

"I preach the Evil God’s doctrine to you every day, you want in?"

"No..."

Just as Rose had predicted, once the Sea Successor White Whale had absorbed the massive surge of fear caused by the anomaly, the phenomenon shifted—it began to surface from the mirror-like sky, crossing sea and heavens via the Summoning Array from the farthest depths.

With the Array’s enhancement, the moment it appeared, it exuded a tremendous aura of intimidation.

"It—it’s huge!"

Though it manifested quite a distance from the Divine Magic Academy, from Hilia’s position, she could still make out the colossal form in the distance.

Relative to the vast range of the anomaly, it seemed small, but up close, the sheer oppressive force from the behemoth would overwhelm anyone.

On the ground, countless mortals were already crawling, babbling madly, worshipping the Sea Successor White Whale in fervent adoration.

Members of the Deep Sea Mutual Aid Association, especially the heretics, were even more ecstatic—crying tears of joy, kowtowing so hard they bloodied their foreheads and never even noticed.

Believers chanted deep-sea hymns, only to be caught red-handed by the Holy Court, and chaos erupted in various places.

In charge of this operation, Blake, upon seeing the Sea Successor White Whale emerge, immediately treated it as a grave threat and broadcasted a battle cry to all elite forces.

"Don’t let it catch its breath—attack now!"

Countless dazzling spells surged at the white whale from all directions, but a faint white radiance shimmered around it. Every magic attack sank in without a trace—like stones into an ocean.

Hilia was utterly absorbed in watching when she heard Rose say, "Luckily I upgraded the Summoning Array’s defense level. Otherwise, these people might’ve killed this fish the moment it appeared, whatever the cost."

"What?" Hilia didn’t quite catch on.

"That fish is just Tier Five, yet there are two Tier Six Mages, and about a dozen Tier Fives here, all buffed up with tons of Blessing Magic... it’s like they’re raiding a boss together."

Hilia wasn’t sure what Rose meant by "raiding a boss," but she understood the earlier point and replied, "Ever since the Holy Court gave management of the empire to the Royal Family, the Archbishops have been idle, free from endless affairs—of course, they now have time to deal with the Sect."

"Plus, with things this serious, who knows what else might pop up if they don’t go all out."

"Alright, the Array’s protection won’t last long. It’s your turn to step in."

"So, we’re starting?"

Hilia gripped the fishing rod; her heartbeat sped up bit by bit.

"Time’s about right. Cast your line."

"Got it!"

The girl swept her rod; the fishhook tipped with the Sea Siren’s Eye dove into the reflection.

The moment the Sea Siren’s Eye touched the surface, it dissolved instantly as if melted away.

In the lake’s reflection, Hilia saw her fishhook dangle before a miniaturized version of the white whale.

The white whale looked as if it’d just spotted a tasty treat and clamped onto the fishing rod with a single bite.

Hilia had wanted to look up at the sky, but there was no time—she hurriedly hauled on the rod.

A powerful force surged up through the rod—Hilia staggered, almost pitching into the lake.

Fortunately, the Gravity Array triggered in time, shifting her center of gravity downward, bracing the rod, and making her feel ten times heavier and immovable as a mountain.

Hilia felt her magic power drain rapidly; she immediately ordered her magic puppet to assist.

Then she threw every auxiliary rod-pulling tool she had into use, finally stabilizing herself and entering a stalemate against the white whale.

At the same time, where the Sea Successor White Whale had descended—

The relentless attacks were finally fracturing its defenses.

But just then, Blake and the others sensed a mysterious force emanating from the water-like sky above.

This eerie power made everyone’s hair stand up.

It felt as if something terrifying was about to emerge from the watery sky!

"Fall back! Right now!"

Blake gave the order without hesitation.

Of course, even without the command, all the mages bolted like rabbits—the moment that mysterious feeling appeared, most of them were already taking off, running as far as they could.

"Judging by my initial assessment, this Sea Successor White Whale is no stronger than Tier Five. No way something this grand would only produce a Tier Five demon—just as I suspected."

After attacking the white whale, Blake, a Tier Six Mage, quickly assessed its strength.

If he weren’t worried about destroying the city, he could solo it.

With another Royal Family Legendary Mage and about ten Tier Five Mages, they could minimize collateral city damage while taking it down.

It was a solid plan, and the other Legendary Mage was perfectly in sync.

But neither of them relaxed.

Because the white whale’s power didn’t line up with the anomaly’s strength at all.

"A Tier Five Sea Successor White Whale couldn’t produce an anomaly that covers even half of Huijin City, let alone the entire city and its surrounding regions."

"There’s only one explanation—the white whale is just the advance guard; the real horror comes after."

"Now, it’s here."

Under countless gazes, the previously imperious white whale suddenly began to struggle as if being suppressed by something invisible.

It thrashed in all directions!

Fortunately, Blake noticed it could only struggle within a fixed area and even seemed to be getting pulled back.

Meanwhile, that mysterious power intensified.

However, this spooky force didn’t press down on the mages—it felt as if all the pressure was focused on the white whale alone.

This baffled both Blake and the Imperial Palace’s Legendary Mage.

"That mysterious power doesn’t feel like something’s coming out—it’s more like something’s pulling the white whale back in?" The Royal Family’s Legendary Mage walked over to Blake, watching the white whale’s thrashing, a little unsure.

Blake nodded. "I feel it, too. This white whale seems like prey for some mysterious powerhouse."

"This..."

The two exchanged bewildered glances.
