To Angers and his group, these marine creatures seemed more like refugees; ordinary creatures couldn't withstand the Dragon King's oppressive aura.
"Is it possible to pinpoint His exact location?"
Dealing with this Leviathan is no easy task; there are many difficulties to overcome, the most pressing being how to accurately track its movements.
If you can't even find a "dragon," then there's no point in talking about "slaying" it.
"Currently, we have used all available satellites to capture any movement in the nearby sea area, but apart from accidentally capturing its silhouette once when it emerged from the water, we have been unable to pinpoint its exact location at other times."
Our technicians are working overtime to find a solution, but the deep sea has always been a forbidden zone beyond our reach.
Schneider paused, his lungs having lost 90% of their function, and spoke such a long passage in one breath only through sheer willpower: “We still cannot determine the specific reason for the other party’s appearance, but by observing the anomaly trajectory caused by the elemental turbulence, we have deduced a general direction of it.”
"Don't be pretentious."
"Southward!" Von Schneider announced the answer on the spot. "Although the trajectory may occasionally deviate or pause, it has been moving southward overall, which is an indisputable fact."
"South? Could it be that something in the south is attracting Him?"
The watchman tapped his temples with his index finger, pondering even the slightest possibility. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and as if remembering something, he turned to Angers for confirmation:
"Old boy!"
"Ok?"
"You encountered a second-generation species in Portofino, right?"
"correct."
"That second-generation species activated a Word of Power before it died, right?"
"Yes."
During this back-and-forth questioning, the light in Nicholas Flamel's eyes grew brighter and brighter, until finally he slapped his forehead as if he had discovered the secret.
Angers knew the Night's Watch like the back of his hand. He knew exactly what kind of nonsense the other was about to spout the moment he was about to raise his buttocks. From the slightly upturned corners of the other's mouth, which could hardly be concealed, he could tell that he had discovered something.
"Stop keeping me in suspense. Just tell me what you've found. Don't force me to slap you in front of so many people!"
"Hey, a gentleman uses words, not fists, that's why I hate brutes like you the most."
The night watchman grumbled in dissatisfaction, but then revealed his discovery: "Once could be a coincidence, twice could be, but what about three times?"
In my opinion, before that second-generation being died, it must have temporarily acquired authority through some secret method and activated the Primordial Authority Word of Power of the King of Ocean and Water: Return to the Void.
That's a world-destroying incantation, number 115 at the end of the incantation periodic table!
The fact that the first generation of beings, namely the four monarchs, were all twins is probably familiar to everyone. So, may I reasonably suspect...?
The Leviathan, seemingly the king of the ocean and water, did not devour the other half to gain complete power. Instead, deep in the sea, it suddenly sensed the emergence of primordial authority, leading to a subtle misunderstanding.
To be fair, the Night's Watch truly lives up to his reputation as a knowledgeable alchemist, possessing unparalleled knowledge of dragon secrets, and his speculations are quite reasonable and well-founded.
Many people nodded as they listened.
The sudden appearance of Leviathan was to devour its own brothers or sisters to gain complete power.
This also explains why He kept heading south.
"If that's the case, could we lay a trap right at our destination?" someone immediately suggested.
"This can be a Plan B as a backup plan. I will bring it up at the meeting later and have someone refine and implement it."
Schneider is not the type of person who would stop at nothing to slay a dragon.
Choosing Portofino as the battlefield was tantamount to playing with the lives of the local residents.
Should people be moved in advance?
That was Leviathan, a creature from mythology, the king of the ocean and water, the first generation of dragon king who truly held the authority to destroy the world in ancient times.
In the port town of Portofino, Angers experienced firsthand the immense sense of powerlessness brought about by the towering tsunami, a feeling seemingly beyond human comprehension.
That was released by the second-generation species. What if it was released by the first-generation species?
What if the exact same situation as that second-generation species before its death occurs?
Faced with the world-destroying power of Word of Power: Return to the Void, even if they ultimately succeed in slaying the dragon, can the sinking of the earth truly be considered a success?
The ocean is the most troublesome enemy. Humans can travel in space with technology, but they still cannot explore every corner of the deep sea.
If Leviathan sees the situation is not good and chooses to avoid battle, fleeing into the deep sea without looking back and never resurfacing, humanity will have no way to deal with it.
They couldn't possibly chase after them in a submarine. Leaving aside whether they could withstand the terrifying water pressure in the deep sea, the added combat power of Leviathan operating on its home turf would be an extremely troublesome matter.
Just at this time.
knock knock --
First, a crisp knock sounded on the door, and then the person who entered reported to the command leaders, "Campus student Cao Han has returned to the school!"
Chapter 174 Finn Plus Ger
Chicago Union Station.
Among the bustling crowds, there is a group of people who stand out from the crowd.
This group of people is very distinctive; the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, and almost every citizen entering the underground subway station can't help but take a second look.
On one of the long-term tables, two people of vastly different body sizes are sitting.
"Fingal, isn't your size a bit too exaggerated?"
"I think so."
Fingel, whose body's horizontal area was almost twice that of Cao Han, could only give a helpless bitter smile upon hearing this. If he could, he wouldn't want things to be like this either.
However, after the Nibelungen Project ended and his dragon bloodline broke free from its shackles to officially enter S-rank, he experienced a new round of physical enhancement.
While physical fitness improves, it is inevitable that body shape will further "expand".
Moreover, the sudden increase in power requires an adaptation process, so Fingel no longer stays in his dormitory as before, but frequently appears in various training rooms and combat courses on campus.
The impression he gives is that of a burly, rough man.
In fact, Fingel's skill in swordsmanship was by no means inferior; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make Chu Zihang's Murasame have the effect of "Dark-Slaying Flame Demon Blade" in the original work.
"How are you preparing?"
Cao Han's question seemed to have no beginning or end, but Fingel was able to grasp the meaning behind it in a second. After pondering for a moment, he said, "We are currently working on a comprehensive plan."
After all, this time we are playing away from home, so there are many issues to consider and even more difficulties to overcome!
With the Greenland debacle still fresh in everyone's memory, no one wants to repeat the same mistake.
As a participant and survivor of the last Greenland ice sea event, Fingel's expression was heavy, and deep in his eyes was a sorrow that could not be concealed.
For Fingel, who lost his family at a young age, Eva was the only family he had left in the world.
However, fate played a cruel joke on him, taking away even his last remaining family and loved ones.
"I have been keeping a close eye on intelligence and related information throughout the journey."
“Everyone agrees that you are the most suitable candidate to slay the dragon.” Fingel knew what kind of person Cao Han was, so he didn’t hide anything. “It was Principal Angers who made the decision personally.”
“I know. When I contacted Principal Angers by phone before, he asked me about it, and I agreed to it.”
"That's good."
Cao Han knew what Fingel was worried about.
He was simply worried that Kassel College might choose the dragon slayer without his knowledge. After all, that dragon was a first-generation species at the level of four monarchs, and no one dared to guarantee victory.
Even though Cao Han had repeatedly demonstrated strength that was somewhat unusual for a mixed-race person, without a direct comparison, no one could say for sure.
How are you feeling about the Nibelungen Project?
"very bad."
"Oh why?"
The only answer that came as “very bad” was unexpected by Cao Han. “Describe what kind of process it was.”
"Brother Cao, you're from China, so you must have read Journey to the West, right? I remember it was about how Sun Wukong accidentally entered Laozi's alchemy furnace and was refined for forty-nine days."
If you asked me to describe it, it would be something like this.
I was immersed in it and refined for seven days, my blood constantly feeling like it was in a state of repeated boiling…
puff-
Cao Han couldn't help but laugh, or rather, he did it on purpose, "Have you ever seen a Sun Wukong who's almost two meters tall? You have the nerve to say that."
"A metaphor, I call this a metaphor, okay!"
"And what about the improvement in strength? How much do you feel you've improved?" Cao Han changed the subject.
"A qualitative leap!"
Fingel gave a four-word answer with a serious expression.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there seems to be only one level difference between A+ and S-level; in reality, they are worlds apart!
It's true that even though Kassel College has a few A-level bloodlines, there are still quite a few new students every year, except for this S-level...
Those are geniuses who might only appear once every few years.
Geniuses, chosen ones, you can imagine how rare they are!
"Before you, Boss Cao, entered Kassel College, the last S-class student on record committed suicide for some reason. The one before that was probably our Principal Angers."
Fingel, fearing that Cao Han was unaware of how rare S-class items were, gave a brief explanation.
Cao Han didn't have any particular feelings. In his opinion, the bloodline rating of the two brothers, Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhisheng, should be at least S-level.
As for why Genjiro received an A+ grade during his exchange program, he speculated that it was because Tachibana Masamune from the Japanese branch intentionally instructed him to hold back his talent.
Not to mention the Genji, who has an even better bloodline and greater strength, also known as Kazama Ruri, who, in the original work, would have the strength to fight gods head-on.
The Crown Princess Erii Uesugi, who possesses the Word of Judgment, needs no further introduction; she undoubtedly has an Iron S-rank bloodline.
For example, Greta, a half-blood monarch who was "encountered" on the train, was also perceived by Cao Han to be of S-rank strength.
It seems so.
The number of hidden hybrids in the world of dragons is quite large.
