A foreigner's journey

The whirlpool gradually began to calm down, and the churning dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed.

The bright moonlight shone down, reflecting the sea area with a pale white glow.

Under the moonlight, a skeletal version of Heather, with long black hair floating like seaweed in the water, stood on the giant squid floating on the sea. The severely shrunken version of the North Sea monster twitched from time to time under her feet, and there were only a few hairs left on her body. Intact tentacles.

The Black Pearl immediately discovered the situation here and immediately headed towards Heather.

But at this time, Heather had no joy at all in defeating the sea monster. Instead, her heart felt cold and frightened.

Damn it! Can anyone explain to me why ‘forced downgrade’ can even force species to be changed?

No matter how big the Kraken is, it can still be considered an octopus. Why did it turn into a squid after being downgraded? Although they both belong to the order Cephalopod, one belongs to the order Octopus and the other belongs to the order Sepia, so they cannot be related at all!

Thinking again about the "forced downgrade" ability of [Light Egg] in myths and legends, [Hundred-Eyed Demon] was reduced to [Three-Eyed Demon]. In fact, these two cannot be regarded as the same species if they are carefully divided. The Hundred-Eyed Demon is a strange, multi-tentacled creature that is over a hundred meters tall and covered with strange eyeballs, while the Three-Eyed Demon is a giant mandrill with an extra eyeball on its forehead.

Cold sweat broke out on Heather's forehead. Could it be that [Light Egg] felt that this creature 'should' be a degraded version of that creature, and then changed the species of that creature?

Damn, if you put it this way, if you forcefully degrade yourself after returning to Earth, will you turn yourself into a monkey or a baboon?

It was the first time for Heather to use this 'forced downgrade' ability, and only then did she feel that this thing was really weird. The result is uncontrollable and the cooling time is too long, so it is better to use it sparingly in the future.

In fact, Heather guessed it right. The "forced downgrade" of [Light Egg] is actually the use of the "unreasonable weirdness" of telekinesis to directly transform the target species into a weaker species, rather than the genetic level operation as previously speculated. .

Every species in nature is a perfect existence that has survived countless survival of the fittest. Where does the so-called low-level version come from? When [Light Egg] performs 'Forced Demotion', it will greatly extract the user's thought energy conversion properties and instill it into the target's body, transforming it from the existential plane into a version that [Light Egg] considers to be similar but weaker. It's a bit like the [Request·Specific Version] of 'Unidentified Objects'.

For example, [Hundred-Eyed Demon] → [Three-Eyed Demon], [North Sea Giant Demon] → [King Squid], [Behemoth] → [Elephant], [Leviathan] → [Blue Whale]... If the sea If Ser really uses this ability on himself after returning to Earth, there is a high probability that he will become a [baboon] or [gorilla]. At that time, it is not certain whether he can continue to retain his intellectual thinking and single-mindedness abilities as a human being. .

Moreover, this ability consumes an astonishing amount of mental energy and has an appallingly long cooling time. Heather decided not to use it in the future if she could.

The Black Pearl soon sailed near Heather. Under the moonlight, both Barbossa and Jack looked like skeletons. Even Maria and the ship's cook Bonan used gold coins to change their forms. [Curse Coin·Aztec Gold Coin] is really interesting when used to save the lives of ordinary people.

"Sir! Have you dealt with the Kraken?" Barbossa lay on the edge of the deck and glanced down at the railing. Except for the huge king squid, he found no trace of other sea monsters.

Jack poked Barbossa: "Hector, that should be the Kraken."

Um? Barbossa, who looked like a skeleton, almost stared out of his eyes: "Are you blind, Jack Sparrow? This king squid is not even one-third as long as the Kraken's tentacles!"

Jack raised his hands and shook them vigorously in front of him, imitating the way of casting witchcraft: "Have you forgotten? The mentor's magical witchcraft?"

Barbossa was silent for a moment. He thought that Heather's ability to turn Aztec gold coins into his own was already a shocking achievement. He didn't expect that he could even turn hundreds of feet long Kraken into ordinary people. The giant squid...is this really witchcraft?

Barbossa preferred to call it a [miracle].

On the sea below, Skeleton Heather pulled out a dagger, and the blade ignited with a cold ghost fire, and then it was inserted into the head of the giant squid and stirred back and forth.

The tentacles twitched violently at first, then gradually subsided.

After confirming that the giant squid under her feet was indeed dead, Heather jumped lightly onto the deck of the Black Pearl, squinting her eyes slightly to sense the location of the 'gold coins': "Drive to the southeast, they are fighting under the sea surface... Well, here they come. "

The sea exploded instantly, and the Flying Dutchman broke through the waves. Davy Jones, who was standing at the helm, looked in the direction of the Black Pearl and shouted angrily: "Heather! What did you do to my baby!?"

Just now, he first sensed the North Sea Kraken's shrill roar and panicked cry for help in his mind, and then lost contact.

Is there really anyone who can fight against the Kraken in flesh and blood? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Heather, with long black hair flying around, stood on the edge of the deck of the Black Pearl, caressing her chest and giving a slight salute to Davy Jones: "Your pet is too presumptuous, so I gave it a small lesson, and I hope you will learn from it."

Davy Jones sharply saw the body of the giant squid sinking into the depths of the sea next to the Black Pearl. Although its appearance had completely changed, hundreds of years of tacit understanding still allowed him to recognize it at a glance as his pet and support - Beihai. Giant monster!

"Everyone stop it!"

Davy Jones was silent for a while, yelling at the sailors on both sides who were fighting on the deck below, then turned to look at Heather, humiliatingly speaking a word through his teeth: "...Negotiation (Parley)."

Without the Kraken, I can't kill these skeleton sailors who are not afraid of death, let alone the Black Pearl and that weirdo captain watching covetously. The Flying Dutchman is the first time in hundreds of years. A big stumble.

We can only hope in [negotiation].

When pirates fight, only the absolutely weak party will try to ask for [negotiation]. Hearing the word squeezed out of Davy Jones's mouth, the crew of the Black Pearl was excited. The invincible [King of Hell] who has been roaming the sea for hundreds of years is invincible. Davy Jones was really beaten by us! ?

Heather still did not release the skeleton form, but stood at the edge of the deck with her arms folded, and asked without looking back: "...first mate?"

Barbossa, who couldn't suppress a smile on his lips, immediately bowed slightly to Heather's chest and replied respectfully: "My lord, please give me your instructions."

“Should I accept [negotiation] from this gentleman?”

Although Heather had no skin on her lips at this time and only showed her white teeth, she could still see a smile from the corners of his eyes.

"According to the provisions of the Pirate Code, pirates are obliged to listen to the request of the negotiator. Of course, whether you accept it or not depends on your wishes." Barbossa immediately understood what Heather meant and replied quickly.

Jack pointed at the orchid and added: "For reference, the "Pirate Code" can only be regarded as a reference. I think it is a better choice for us to directly sink this evil and obscene ghost ship... Of course, no one asked me That’s my opinion.”

Seeing Davy Jones's eyes almost bursting with anger and his intention to continue to bewitch Heather, Jack immediately gave up and retreated to the position next to Maria.

"……All right."

Heather hooked her finger at Davy Jones and motioned for him to bring the ship closer:

"Then, Captain Davy Jones, whether you can leave this sea alive depends on whether the 'conditions' you proposed can satisfy me."
