177: Chapter 177 Holy Father? Mistress?

He Yushui looked down at the Ice Spirit Jade Fox lying obediently at her feet, its nine snow-white tails swaying gently.

Bing Yu seemed to have sensed those ugly kin in the distance. She rolled her eyes in an extremely human-like fashion and rubbed against He Yushui's calf, as if saying:

"Don't compare this fox to those hideous things."

“Our Captain Brother is still the best.” He Yushui crouched down and rubbed Bing Yu's fluffy head, her face full of relief. “If I had to face those stitched monstrosities every day, I'd rather jump into the sea.”

After all, they didn't have the absolute confidence of Li Taiping's epic grade combat power.

Li Taiping could afford to be willful and only select top-tier exotic beasts with high aesthetics and pure bloodlines.

But for ordinary Survivors, being able to survive and having an extra bit of combat power was the most important thing.

So what if they were ugly? As long as they could bite, it was fine!

While those on the Many Children, Many Blessings were observing this fleet, the tens of thousands of Survivors within the fleet also discovered this steel behemoth breaking through the sea mist and slowly approaching.

The fleet, which had been incredibly noisy just a second ago, fell into a deathly silence at this moment.

Immediately afterward, a tsunami-like wave of fanatical sound erupted in the fleet's public channel!

On a third-rank warship, the two brothers Shen He and Shen Jiang were standing at the bow.

When they saw the streamlined, massive hull of the Many Children, Many Blessings, the shimmering energy shield, and the main cannon at the bow emitting an aura of destruction, the two brothers' breathing instantly became incredibly heavy.

“Look! It's the Holy Ship! It's the Holy Father's Many Children, Many Blessings!” Shen He trembled with excitement, his hands gripping the railing so hard his knuckles turned white.

“My God! Is that the legendary Rank Five warship? It's... too spectacular!”

In the public channel, countless voices intertwined, carrying an unconcealable shock and awe.

As the Many Children, Many Blessings continued to approach, an invisible, terrifying pressure belonging to a high-order lifeform enveloped the entire sea area like a physical substance.

Those bizarre stitched monsters that were originally baring their fangs and claws all let out whimpering wails the moment they felt this aura.

The octopus-sharks curled up their tentacles, and the giraffe-crabs retracted their necks into their shells, each lying prone on the deck, trembling and not even daring to breathe loudly.

“I feel it... a pressure that makes my very soul tremble! Is this the power of the Holy Father?”

A burly man with a face full of stubble felt his legs go weak and knelt on one knee directly on the deck, his eyes filled with fanaticism.

“Becoming a follower of the Holy Father is the most correct decision of my life!”

“Nonsense! Even if it's being a servant, it's being a servant for the world's number one!”

“Look at our current equipment, look at the weapons in our hands! In the future, when we fight and announce the Holy Father's name, who would dare not show respect?”

“Exactly! And the benefits are too good! Long live the Mistress's treasure basin! I've never seen so many fresh vegetables and pure water in my life!”

The voices in the channel grew louder and more frenzied.

Shen He looked at the Fine-grade enchanted longblade he had just received, recalling the miserable state a few days ago when he was still fighting people for a mouthful of spoiled fresh water, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

He abruptly drew the longblade, pointed it straight at the sky, and roared with all his might.

“Wan Si Fleet! Welcome the Holy Father!”

This roar was like lighting a powder keg.

In an instant, on thousands of warships, tens of thousands of Survivors simultaneously raised their weapons, their voices like thunder, shaking away the dark clouds in the sky.

“Welcome the Holy Father!”

“Welcome the Mistress!”

The fanatical waves of sound echoed over the sea, lingering for a long time.

Ultimately, the feelings of these subordinate captains transformed into a spontaneous sense of pride and honor.

Look, that man standing atop the Rank Five warship, looking down upon all living beings, powerful to the point of despair—he is our boss!

We are members of the undisputed number one power in this damn Survival World!

Li Taiping stood at the high point, looking down at the dense fleet below that was bowing and worshipping him.

He didn't speak, only the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

At this moment, the pinnacle of power and the ultimate strength intertwined upon him, creating a suffocating charm.

Su Mei leaned on his shoulder, pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, and chuckled softly: “It seems your 'eldest sons' are very energetic.”

Li Taiping's imposing aura instantly stalled.

Deflated, he said, “Stop teasing me. Let's go. There's strength in numbers; let's find that Floating Island first.”
