Chapter 187 Whale Song Vincent's voice was low and almost drowned out by the roar in the cabin: "It was it that attracted the Hydra. Its blood, or some kind of aura, drew those things up from the deep sea." He suppressed his fear and looked around at the chaotic scene in the watertight compartment. The Hydra and the giant bone monster were entangled together, like two ancient beasts fighting for territory. The tailbone of the giant bone monster was still firmly embedded in the steel plate. As the Hydra bit, its chest trembled and the dark red blood gushed out more violently. "Mr. Vincent!" a guard warned urgently, "They are too strong. The steel plates of the watertight compartment may not hold out for long. If we don't take quick action, the whole ship may be torn apart by them!" Another guard asked tentatively: "Mr. Vincent, should we seal this place off immediately? Or should we just blow up this watertight compartment?" Vincent turned his head suddenly and roared, "No! If we blow it up, we will completely lose control of it! Do you know the significance of this monster? Every drop of its blood, every bone, is the key to opening the kingdom of God! If it gets out of control, we will all die, and Macallan will not let us go!" The guards were silent, obviously aware of the seriousness of the matter. Their eyes were full of hesitation, but they had no better way. The atmosphere in the watertight compartment became increasingly tense. The Hydra's movements became more and more violent, and it even emitted a faint low roar, which made the entire ship seem to shake slightly. At the same time, Klaus led the hybrids of the Holy Palace forward, clearing the giant snakes on the decks and corridors. Suddenly, he received an urgent communication from a subordinate: "Mr. Klaus, there is an abnormality in the stern watertight compartment! We found a giant monster, which is suspected to be the experimental subject suppressed by Vincent, but now it seems to be completely out of control!" Klaus snorted coldly and stopped walking. "Vincent, that old fox, really has a back-up plan! Let's go to the watertight compartment and see what it is." At the same time, Lu Mingfei stood on the stern deck, listening to the vibrations coming from the bottom of the ship.
Jiude Mai came over in a hurry, her expression serious. "Boss, the latest intelligence is that there is a monster in the watertight compartment at the stern, and now the giant monster is beginning to get out of control! The people from the Holy Palace are rushing there, they may be able to control it, or they may choose to destroy it." Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows slightly: "The watertight compartment... Vincent's trump card is finally revealed? The people of the Holy Palace will not destroy it so easily. Their desire for the Kingdom of God is deeper than Vincent's. However, since it has become like this, I will also join in the fun." Jiude Mai frowned: "Boss, are you saying that we should go to the watertight compartment in person? That place is simply a Shura field right now!" Lu Mingfei stretched and said in a relaxed tone: "Ma Yi, you said that the more complicated the situation is, the easier it is to find a breakthrough. This may be our breakthrough." ………… Inside the watertight compartment, the fight between the Hydra and the giant bone monster reached a fever pitch. The hull was shaking continuously, as if it was about to fall apart. Inside the giant bone monster's chest, the huge heart was beating with difficulty, and the gushing black and red blood carried a strong fishy smell, dyeing the sea water at the bottom of the cabin into a thick dark red. Vincent stared at the chaotic scene in front of him. He knew that the Hydra had smelled the scent of the dragons, and its greed and instinct drove it to occupy everything here. "Mr. Vincent!" A guard warned again, "The Hydra is about to come out! If it rushes out of the watertight compartment, none of us will be spared!" Vincent's face became even gloomier, and he held the wheelchair armrests tightly with both hands: "Listen, without my order, no one is allowed to activate the self-destruct device of the watertight compartment! This thing is the key, we must use it to open the door to the Kingdom of God!" At the same time, Klaus led the hybrids of the Holy Palace to the entrance of the watertight cabin. He stood in front of the cabin door, feeling the vibration coming from under the floor, and frowned. "It seems that Vincent has completely lost control." Klaus snorted coldly and ordered the team behind him, "Enter the watertight compartment and control the situation. If Vincent's experimental subjects cannot be dealt with, destroy them directly. Ensure the progress of the Kingdom of God plan at all costs." As soon as he finished speaking, the hatch was pushed open, and a fishy smell rushed towards them. The mixed-blood team immediately went into combat mode, and their weapons gleamed coldly under the dim light. When they saw the scene in the cabin, they all showed shocked expressions - the nine-headed snake was biting the giant bone monster, and the sea water at the bottom of the cabin had been completely dyed red with blood. Vincent sat in a wheelchair, watching Klaus' arrival. He suppressed his inner panic and forced a smile: "Mr. Klaus, this is my territory. What do you want to do by bringing so many people in?" Klaus sneered and pointed his long blade at Vincent: "Your territory? Now the whole ship is about to be destroyed by you, and you still have the nerve to talk about any plans?" Vincent gritted his teeth and tried to defend himself: "This thing is the key to the Kingdom of God. Its existence is the core of the plan. The arrival of Hydra is just an accident, but we still have a chance to turn the situation around!" Klaus's eyes were stern. "Do you think you can turn it around? Vincent, I think you just want to use it to fight against the Holy Palace." At this moment, the hatch was pushed open again, and Lu Mingfei walked in slowly. He looked around and said lazily, "Wow, it's so lively. There are so many people here, are you having a party?"
Vincent and Klaus looked at Lu Mingfei at the same time, and their eyes instantly became alert. "Why are you here?" Vincent asked with a frown. Lu Mingfei smiled slightly: "Since you guys have made the whole ship a mess, I just came to see the fun." Vincent stared at Lu Mingfei coldly, saying in a bad tone: "This is not the place for you, young man of the Carter Family." Lu Mingfei shrugged nonchalantly, but his eyes fell on the Hydra and the giant bone monster. A sharp light flashed in his golden pupils: "Who said that? I think this place is very interesting." The nine heads of the Hydra suddenly let out a shrill roar, the giant bone monster's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the chest vibrated more violently, the entire watertight compartment was shaking, and the steel plates began to make metallic sounds as if they could not bear the weight. Klaus frowned and ordered the hybrids: "Quick, spread out the targets and suppress these two monsters!" Vincent desperately ordered the guards: "Guard that thing! Don't let it be destroyed!" Lu Mingfei stood aside, watching the two groups busying themselves with a half-smile. Finally, he spoke softly: "You all overlooked a problem. What if this thing was deliberately designed to cause you to fight among yourselves?" Everyone was stunned. At this moment, the Hydra suddenly turned, and one of its heads pounced towards Klaus at an extremely fast speed. A bony arm covered with blood vessels slowly stretched out from the chest of the giant bone monster, pointing directly in the direction of Vincent. "The show is about to begin." Lu Mingfei's voice was low, but it revealed a meaningful smile. The situation in the watertight compartment deteriorated rapidly. The Hydra's head pounced towards Klaus like a meteor, while the giant bone monster's bony arms twisted like snakes and stabbed straight at Vincent. This strange scene caused both sides to fall into chaos. Klaus's eyes focused, and he swung out a cold blue blade. A sharp blade light cut towards the oncoming snake head, but the hybrids behind him failed to react in time. The other head of the Hydra had pounced on them like lightning. One of them was bitten by the huge mouth and torn in half in an instant. "Concentrate your attack! Don't panic!" Klaus ordered coldly, and the long blade in his hand danced into a flash of sword light, forcing back the approaching snake head. Vincent's guards were firing frantically on the other side, trying to stop the giant bone monster's bony arms from approaching, but the bullets only sparked a few sparks after hitting the bony arms and could not stop its advance at all. Vincent's face turned pale, and he slammed the armrest of the wheelchair: "Use the high-temperature cutter to cut off that bone arm! Quick!" Lu Mingfei narrowed his golden eyes slightly, his sight swept between the Hydra and the giant bone monster, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he slowly took a few steps forward to avoid a piece of flying metal debris, as if he was taking a leisurely walk. "Mr. Vincent," Lu Mingfei said casually, "This should be the real Maria, the Maria who came back from the Kingdom of God with Hill." "How do you know?" Vincent was shocked. “Since Hill turned into a dragon after coming out from here, it’s impossible that Maria, who came out with him, wouldn’t be normal.” Lu Mingfei said as he slowly came to the front of the monster. "What a pity that the beauty of the past has become like this now." Lu Mingfei slowly approached the giant bone monster. The Hydra fighting against the giant bone monster seemed to have sensed his presence and stopped moving for a moment. The watertight cabin fell into an eerie silence. "Maria..." Lu Mingfei whispered, his eyes falling on the body of the giant bone monster embedded in the cement coffin, and the heart that was slowly trembling in its chest. The giant bone monster's bony arm paused for a moment, as if responding to Lu Mingfei's name. The vertical pupil in its chest slowly turned and stared at Lu Mingfei. The light in its pupil seemed to flicker gently. Vincent looked horrified, holding the armrests of his wheelchair tightly, his voice trembling slightly with shock: "Impossible... How could Maria still respond?" Klaus's eyes swept back and forth between Lu Mingfei and the giant bone monster. His face was no longer as cold and stern as before, but was mixed with a hint of doubt and vigilance. He tightened the blue blade in his hand and whispered to the hybrid behind him, "Stand by, don't act rashly." Lu Mingfei ignored the reactions of the two people. He walked closer to the giant bone monster, sighed softly, and stretched out his finger to point at the giant bone monster's bony arm. In an instant, a golden light that was invisible to the naked eye spread from his fingertips, and the giant bone monster's bony arm covered with blood vessels actually stopped.
"Maria..." Lu Mingfei said softly, with a hint of melancholy in his tone, "Tell me, what did you see in this ocean back then..." The light in the vertical pupils flickered, as if trying to respond, or as if struggling. After a moment, a low and vague voice sounded from the chest of the giant bone monster. The voice was so low and slow that it seemed to come from the abyss of time, with hoarseness and fatigue, as if it had not spoken for thousands of years: "Light... Endless Light... Whisper of God... Shadow of Disaster." Vincent slapped the wheelchair armrests almost out of control, his face filled with horror: "She...she can actually still speak?! This is impossible!" Klaus glanced at Vincent coldly, his long blade pointing down at the ground, but his eyes never left the giant bone monster. He asked Lu Mingfei, with a hint of uneasiness in his tone: "What did you do to her?" Lu Mingfei shook his head slowly, his eyes still fixed on the giant bone monster: "I didn't do anything, I just made her remember." Just as Maria was about to continue speaking, a whale song came from somewhere, and the originally cold temperature around her dropped again. The low whale song was like a call coming from the deep sea. It carried a distant and cold majesty, shaking the nerves of everyone in the watertight cabin. The originally noisy cabin suddenly became dead silent. Even the roar of the Hydra was suppressed, leaving only its violent struggle and the sound of water impact. "What...is this sound?" Klaus frowned, he tightly gripped the long blue blade, and a trace of fear that he had never seen before appeared in his eyes. The nine heads of the Hydra turned towards the hatch at the same time, emitting a low roar, and every scale began to tremble, obviously filled with fear of the whale song. Vincent was shaking all over and holding on to the armrest of his wheelchair tightly. "Leviathan... it's coming..." “Leviathan?” Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows slightly, a strange light flashed in his golden pupils. He turned his gaze to the twisted and struggling body of the Hydra and murmured, “Even you are so scared, it seems that this guy is not simple.” The echo of the whale song became stronger and stronger, as if penetrating the steel plates and the hull and reaching deep into everyone's bones. The temperature of the entire ship dropped suddenly, and the exhaled breath instantly turned into white mist, and even a thin layer of ice crystals condensed on the surface of the sea. In the sea water outside the watertight compartment, a huge shadow was approaching. It was a white sperm whale that was enough to scare any creature. It was so huge that it seemed to swallow the entire ship. Its body was covered with hard skin like ice crystals, and its eyes were deep and cold, revealing a kind of superior indifference. As it approached, the entire ship seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure, and the bottom of the ship creaked under the heavy weight, as if it would be crushed at any moment. With a low crash, Leviathan's head slowly poked out from the shadows outside the watertight cabin, its huge eyes looking straight into the cabin through the steel plate. It didn't make any roars or angry sounds, only a cold gaze that made everyone shudder. Vincent completely lost control, muttering incoherently: "It is the gatekeeper of the Kingdom of God... No one can escape from its gaze... We are finished, everyone is finished..." "It seems that it doesn't like us trespassers." (End of this chapter)
