We Agreed to Set Sail, but You Became the Ruler of the Deep Sea?

Lying on the deck, enjoying the rare peaceful time.

Shane's mind was in turmoil.

Although the [Apostle of Sin] is dead, the crisis of world destruction has been temporarily resolved.

However, this does not mean that he can sit back and enjoy the rest of his life.

Let’s not talk about the more distant and terrifying [Black Disaster] for now.

[Ebisu Mikoto] and his other apostles may invade the [Seven Seas World] again at any time.

Besides.

Shane also did not forget the deal that Leila made with the Blind and Stupid God.

Based on his memory of what he saw.

Leila was split into three.

Her past and future became Ann and Vivian respectively.

But her "present" was taken away by the [Blind and Stupid God] and disappeared.

At the same time, her "present" has also lost her original memory and is likely to become a completely unfamiliar existence to Shane.

But even so.

There was no way Shane would give up looking for Leila.

As for Leila's whereabouts...

When Leila broke through to the legendary level before, she left a message in the [Secret Sea], which showed that she seemed to have left some information in the [Secret Realm] where the elves are now?

That's why.

During this period of time, Shane has been patiently waiting and inquiring about the news about the [Elf Secret Realm].

However, if he really wants to explore the [Secret Realm of the Elves], he has to wait until his injuries are healed.

Speaking of legends, we have to mention the changes in Shane’s strength after he broke through the legend.

When we had the final battle with the [Apostle of Sin].

Due to the urgency of the situation, Shane did not have time to carefully look at the prompts on the panel.

But these days, he has enough free time to examine his transformation after the breakthrough.

Among the several columns of information on the panel, the most obvious change is the improvement in overall quality.

【Overall quality: 37→67! 】

That’s right, compared to before, it’s basically a single-digit increase.

After this legendary breakthrough, Shane's overall quality soared by 30!

Almost doubled!

It is conceivable how great the improvement in the realm of legend is.

This is a sublimation and transformation of the level of life.

There is some truth in what the Apostle of Sin says: “Until you become a legend, you are always an ant.”

And, you know.

Before he achieved legendary status, Shane was able to defeat ordinary legendary warriors.

Once he broke through at this time, he became a leader among the legendary strongmen.

Although they had never really fought each other, Shane felt that he could at least fight with a strong man like Musa.

However, this time when he broke through the levels, Shane did not unlock a new career.

Shane was a little confused at first, but after careful consideration, he quickly came to the conclusion -

The so-called [Secret Path Occupation] system is merely an extraordinary system unique to the [Seven Seas World].

He had seen other paths of advancement in other [secret realms].

Obviously, it is impossible for every [Secret Realm] to be divided according to the professions of the [Seven Seas World].

After breaking through to the legendary level, the extraordinary person will have the initial qualifications to walk in the [Secret Sea] without being limited to a single [Secret Realm].

Since it is an existence beyond this [secret realm], it naturally cannot be measured according to the original secret profession.

However, on the panel, several new lines appeared.

[Law: Void (5%), Death (1%)]

[Title: None]

The former is not difficult to understand.

It is nothing more than the power of the laws that Shane mastered after he was promoted to a legend.

The subsequent progress depends on his control over the power of laws. The higher the control, the higher the degree.

This means that the deeper his understanding and application of this law, the stronger the power he can exert.

As for the [Title] column.

Shane was also somewhat confused at first, but fortunately the panel gave its own explanation.

[Note: When the mark left by a legendary warrior in the "Great Law" is clear to a certain degree, he will be awarded a "title" and receive some kind of gift!]

[The more widely the "title" spreads, the stronger the ability or bonus given to the extraordinary by the "Great Law" will be! ]

To be honest, this is the first time Shane has heard of this statement.

But I thought of the [Lord of Thunder] and [Old Man of Stars] I met before.

Now that I think about it, these are just their [titles]!

This might be the reason why they are more accustomed to using their [titles] rather than their real names.

Another thing that slightly surprised Shane was.

In addition to the [Law of Death] that was given to him after the battle with the Undead Hanno.

He broke through the legend by relying on the [Law of the Void]!

Although Shane also guessed that this must be related to his [Secret Power of the Void].

But Xia En is still a little confused about what kind of law the [Law of the Void] is.

However, Shane is still very clear about its specific application.

Shane opened his palm, and a tiny miniature black hole was slowly spinning in his hand.

It looks small, but actually has a terrifying and dangerous aura.

Contained in this small black hole is the power of the void.

This skill is called [Void Collapse].

It can be regarded as an upgraded version of the previous [Great Dark Sky] effect.

A micro black hole can frantically pull in all the surrounding matter and devour the surrounding mysterious power.

The effect is extremely overbearing.

Another skill that Shane unlocked is called [Echo of the Void].

[Echoes of the Void]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Type: Skill]

[Description: You can resonate with the information remaining in the void.]

[Thus, we can see the past of something, or some hidden information, to a certain extent.]

[Your perception of spatial fluctuations becomes clearer and the range is greatly increased.]

【Used with "Eyes of Secrets", there will be unexpected effects. 】

Compared to the extremely offensive skill [Void Collapse].

[Echo of the Void] is obviously an ability that is more inclined towards reconnaissance and perception.

With the existence of the [Eyes of Prying Eyes], Shane can obtain more information and uncover more [secrets].

——Although Shane has broken through to the legendary level, it does not mean that he has lost his profession as the [Secret Keeper].

Each of his hidden professions and talents will not disappear because of the breakthrough in rank.

But it is in a state of simultaneous existence.

Therefore, Shane can still use the cracking of [Secrets] to obtain gifts and improve his strength.

In addition to these obvious changes, Shane also felt that some subtle changes had taken place in his body and soul.

His perception became sharper and his thinking became clearer, as if the whole world became more three-dimensional and richer in his eyes.

This change is not just an increase in strength, but also a deeper understanding of the nature of the world.

Just as Shane's thoughts were in turmoil.

"Captain Shane!"

Not far away, a crisp call was heard.

On the deck, Joey with white hair and red eyes walked over.

Her steps were brisk and graceful, her white hair shone silver in the sunlight, and her red eyes sparkled with a lively light.

Compared with before, her temperament is more calm and confident, as if she has undergone a transformation.

As the [Seven Seas World] transformed, Joey naturally benefited greatly from it.

At this time, her rank has already broken through to the sixth rank!

The legend is no longer far away.

at the same time.

Shane's previous worry that Joey would be infected by divinity and become unlike himself did not continue to deteriorate.

On the contrary, Joey even began to gradually master this divinity and use it for his own benefit.

Her unique temperament is proof of this transformation.

Walking with Joey was Ann, who had taken off his helmet.

Without having to worry about the curse of doom.

An could totally take off the armor that was getting in the way.

But according to An herself, she had become accustomed to wearing this armor, and she felt a little uncomfortable suddenly not wearing it.

So, after giving the armor a deep clean, she put it back on.

Only now, aboard the Black Swan, An would live without his helmet.

Looking at that beautiful face that was exactly the same as Leila's, Shane couldn't help but look a little dazed.

Thinking about it now, he still finds it a little unbelievable.

Leila, whom he had been pursuing, had actually become a member of his crew a long time ago.

If you really want to calculate the time point.

And that was before Shane actually knew Leila.

This makes people sigh at the wonder of the law of time.

But even so.

Shane knew that Ann was both Leila and not Leila.

A person's character is made up of experiences and memories.

And from the conversation between Shane and Ann, it was learned that she did not remember most of Leila's memories, and only vaguely remembered some vague fragments.

Most of her memories were about how she was adopted, trained as a knight, and even became a member of Shane's crew.

So, in Ann's self-perception, she is Ann, not Leila.

Same principle.

Although Vivian has Leila's memories, she tends to see herself as Leila from another world.

You can say that.

At this point, Vivian, Leila, and Ann have become completely independent individuals.

It can only be said that they are three similar flowers.

They have their own personalities, their own choices, and even their feelings towards Shane are different.

"Captain Shane, what are you daydreaming about?"

Joey walked over to Shane and tapped him on the shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.

Shane came back to his senses and smiled: "Nothing, just thinking about something."

Joey blinked, tilted his head and asked, "Are you thinking about Leila?"

After the battle, Shane told her the story of Leila, so Joey asked this question.

Shane nodded and didn't hide it: "Yes, although Ann and Vivian are right next to us."

"But Leila's 'now' is still missing, and I must find her."

An said, "I can feel it..."

"The [Secret Realm] where the elves are is getting closer and closer, and may soon merge with the [Seven Seas World]."

An paused and continued.

"However, in the remaining memories in my mind, the Elves [Secret Realm] seems to have been cast under a special barrier."

"Its original purpose was to protect the Elves' [Secret Realm] from being invaded and polluted by [Apostles of Filth]."

"But now, it has become an obstacle to the integration of the elves' [Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World]."

"If it is left to dissipate naturally, it may take decades or even hundreds of years."

Hearing this, Xia En frowned slightly.

"A special barrier..."

This is indeed a big problem.

He doesn't have that much time to wait for the barrier of the [Elf] secret realm to dissipate on its own.

Thinking of this, Shane called Ms. Jane, the most knowledgeable person on the ship.

These days passed.

Not only did Jane's injuries heal, but her aura also improved once again.

After that great battle, I witnessed the collision of so many laws and the increase in the concentration of secret power.

Jian, who was able to break through to the legendary level at any time, was naturally promoted to the legendary level and became the second legendary powerhouse on the Black Swan.

And after listening to Shane's words.

Jian stroked his chin and thought, "The barrier that covers the entire [Secret Realm]?"

"This kind of barrier doesn't seem to be able to be broken by conventional means."

"Like the previous secret realm transmission ritual, I'm afraid it will also be isolated from the outside."

Shane asked, "Is there any way to get in?"

Jane pondered for a moment and said.

“That’s still possible.”

"Captain Shane, I wonder if you have heard of a very famous artifact on the Seven Seas, called..."

"【Destiny Weaving Shuttle】!"

"It is said that it is the instrument of the goddess of fate, capable of weaving a portal to a specific [secret realm]."

"If we find it, maybe we can travel directly to the elf [secret realm]."

"However, this artifact has been missing in the Seven Seas for many years."

"I don't know if we can find it by mobilizing the Federation's power..."

After all, Shane is now known as the Hero of the Seven Seas. If he makes such a request to the Federation, it will most likely be met.

But the worst case scenario is.

Even if the Federation's intelligence network was mobilized, there was no way to find this long-lost artifact.

Shane was frowning and thinking.

Xian Ge, who was standing by, heard their conversation and walked over quickly.

"You just said... [Weaver of Fate]?"

"I've heard of that name!"

Xia En looked at Xian Ge in surprise: "Where is it?"

Xian Ge said after trying hard to recall.

"I remember that this artifact seemed to be... taken away by an ancient dragon."

"And that dragon should be very familiar to me..."

"Ancient dragon?"

Shane snapped back to reality.

Since we are talking about ancient dragons, we have to mention the rumor that has been circulating in the Seven Seas recently, that the roar of an ancient dragon is echoing in the sky.

This means that the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] where the ancient dragon is located is rapidly approaching the [Seven Seas World].

As a result, the ancient dragon that had disappeared from the seven seas has re-entered people's vision.

And if it is really as Xian Ge said.

[Weaver of Fate] This artifact was taken away by an ancient dragon.

Then, it is very likely that it now exists in the [secret realm] of [Dragon's Nest]!

What's more, the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] itself is inextricably linked to the string song.

In order to obtain the [Shuttle of Destiny], it seems that a trip to the [Dragon's Nest Secret Realm] is imperative!

So, Xia En asked: "Xiange, can you sense the location of the Dragon's Nest?"

"certainly!"

Xian Ge raised his little head and made a cheerful dragon cry.

"【Dragon's Nest】...is calling me!"
