Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer-Chapter 577 - 275: Incomprehensible Exaggerated Harvest_3

He reached out and gently touched it. The crystal fragments immediately shattered, and the Starlight surged into Alka’s body. As the energy poured in, Alka’s eyes burst with intense light, and his entire being emitted a dazzling glow that was hard to look at directly. He floated directly into the air.

...

"What’s going on?"

"It’s Alka’s room! There’s a strong disturbance emanating from inside, and it’s unlike Magic Power."

The entire ship was swaying on the sea. Night had already fallen. The previously calm waters suddenly churned, with waves surging around the vessel as everyone hurriedly headed toward Alka’s room.

Chadite transformed into a stream of light, attempting to dash into Alka’s room, but was directly blocked by an invisible barrier and bounced back. She crashed heavily against the mast, but two ropes caught her, steadying her.

"Are you okay?" Matilda rushed to Chadite’s side, supporting her and checking for injuries.

Chadite shook her head, her gaze fixed on Alka’s room in the sterncastle. "There’s an invisible barrier. I was repelled. He isn’t allowing anyone inside."

Julia, standing nearby, frowned at the invisible barrier before her and lightly touched it. Her hand was immediately struck back by a repelling force.

"A very strong repelling force. It’s rejecting anything that tries to approach."

Juanlu, looking up at the sky, seemed somewhat dazed. He couldn’t help but say, "Instead of this, I suggest you all look up at the sky."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up. The starry sky was undergoing an unexpected transformation. The various massive, moon-like celestial bodies that had occasionally appeared were now receding. Stars began to arrange themselves before them, appearing as if positioned directly overhead. The stars were moving, forming strange patterns.

Eventually, they converged into a pattern composed of three diamond-shaped Crystal Stones. These three Crystal Stones then dispersed to three corners, and a circular sigil appeared in the center, seemingly forming a motif of peculiar significance.

If they weren’t mistaken, this pattern was right above their heads. The stars twinkled faintly. They could feel the Magic Power around them slowly rising—not just Magic Power, but an unknown energy mingled with it, similar to the kind emanating from Alka’s room.

What exactly is he doing in the Dream Realm? Jason couldn’t help but wonder at such a transformation. What kind of power could cause celestial bodies to shift and even conspicuously form patterns? And it was happening right above their heads!

He suspected that everyone in the Endless Sea had likely noticed the changes in the sky. This didn’t seem like a good omen. Moreover, this completely surpassed their understanding. Even in the Endless Sea, where logic didn’t always prevail, surely there had to be a limit?

They were almost certain these changes were caused by Alka. They just didn’t know why.

Across the waters, throughout the entire Endless Sea, everyone who looked up at the sky witnessed this phenomenon. Most people merely watched the changes with amusement. This is the Endless Sea, after all; no change is ever truly surprising here. The Intelligent Life that had dwelled here for generations was already accustomed to such transformations. Even if the sky itself were to crack open one day, they would see it as a common occurrence and simply carry on with their lives. Such events would merely become a topic of conversation for a while, not impacting their lives in any substantial way.

Yet, for a select few, these changes sparked curiosity, brought smiles to their faces, or filled them with awe. Some people did understand what these changes signified.

This spectacle lasted only a short while. The arrayed stars began to dim, gradually vanishing into the night sky. The sky seemed to return to tranquility once more.

"I can feel Alka’s presence again," Julia announced immediately. She then reached forward; the barrier blocking them had vanished as well.

Everyone immediately pushed open the door to Alka’s room and entered. They saw Alka floating mid-air, the light around him starting to recede, before he crashed back down onto the bed. The wooden bed protested with a loud creak under the impact but miraculously held.

Alka lay on the bed, still in a Deep Sleep. Chadite walked over to take a closer look. Lucilia even poked Alka’s face. Alka showed no signs of waking up. However, they could confirm that he seemed unharmed.

"He’s just asleep," Matilda said, after checking Alka’s condition. "But... it seems he’s gotten stronger."

Since Alka was no longer in danger, the group made quick arrangements. Chadite and Lucilia stayed to watch over Alka in the room, while the others left.

「At that moment, in the Dream World」

It wasn’t just Alka himself; even his Dream Bubbles were glowing. All the shadow creatures and beings of light that had previously surrounded him had scattered and fled. Numerous mist-like entities now gathered around his bubble.

And Alka, within his bubble, had landed on the ground, standing firm. The radiant light around him had vanished; only his bright eyes still gleamed with a piercing luminosity.

He raised his hands, clenching them in disbelief.
