Become the minions of the King of the Deep Sea

Ghost lowered his hand, signifying that the death sentence for these Bluefin Miners had already been passed.

The 3,700 skeleton axe-wielders raised their weapons in unison, bringing them down in one swift motion.

"Swish!"

This group of Bluefin Miners, already tortured until they had only a sliver of health left, had their heads severed. 3,700 criminals were beheaded simultaneously.

Wells had likely never seen such a spectacular scene in his entire life, but today, he witnessed it—and it was his own kin being used. With this single stroke, Ghost had directly wiped out the Bluefin Clan.

At this moment, Wells had become the sole survivor of the Bluefin Clan.

However, this lone survivor was not in a good state. With his eyelids cut off, Wells could not close his eyes. He had witnessed the death of his kin with his own eyes, and his eyeballs had become deformed from the intense strain, weeping tears of blood.

"Ah!!!"

"You will die a horrible death!"

"I will definitely kill you all!"

Wells let out a hysterical howl. After screaming, he fell into an unconscious state, completely broken.

【Killed Bluefin Miners (LV40) * 3,700, EXP + 370,000】

【Level increased to LV40 (327,830 / 2,000,000)】

Lin Yuan was looking for an exit when he suddenly leveled up out of the blue.

"Ghost has already taken action." A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth.

"I wonder what state Wells is in now; he must be completely broken."

Not having seen the scene with his own eyes, Lin Yuan felt it was a bit of a pity. After circling the room, it was A Li who found the mechanism to open it.

When they came out of the room, Lin Yuan asked A Li, "A Li, why are you always the first to find the mechanism?"

A Li stood straight, head slightly raised, and said coolly, "Intuition."

Lin Yuan: ...

I thought you had some special skill; it turns out it's just luck. But A Li's luck always seems to be quite good.

Coming down from the steam furnace, Ghost saluted Lin Yuan. "Heh heh heh heh!"

He had perfectly completed the task his master had assigned—killing them and breaking their hearts.

Lin Yuan looked up and saw Wells, who had broken down to the point of being unconscious. He praised Ghost, "Well done."

Just as Lin Yuan was preparing to give Wells a quick end, intermittent whispers appeared in his ears again.

"Believe in... Me, and I shall grant you boundless power..."

Perhaps because the Deep Sea Cage Dungeon originated from the Endless Sea, the voice of the King of the Deep Sea was not as stuttering as before.

Lin Yuan took the deep sea scepter out of his backpack. With the scepter in hand, Lin Yuan could hear it more clearly.

"Open... the portal, and welcome My envoy."

"You shall become My spokesman."

A spokesman?

Lin Yuan was stunned. This wasn't the first time he had heard this term. Tyr and Freyja had both invited Lin Yuan to serve as a spokesman, but Lin Yuan had refused both times.

However, Lin Yuan held a coin of justice, which made him a temporary worker for Freyja. The task given by the coin of justice was to enter the Deep Sea Cage, open the portal to the Endless Sea, and then kill the Treader of Waves Modrig.

What a coincidence; the first ring of the task given by Freyja actually coincided with the King of the Deep Sea. A look of contemplation flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

Since that's the case, couldn't I kill two birds with one stone? While ensuring the completion of Freyja's task, I could squeeze the maximum residual value out of the King of the Deep Sea. That's the plan!

After making his decision, Lin Yuan gripped the deep sea scepter tighter. From now on, the King of the Deep Sea was his sugar daddy.

"Oh, great King of the Deep Sea."

"Your prestige is known to all, and Your glory spreads across the entire ocean."

"You are the controller of the Endless Sea and the well-deserved God of the Ocean."

"I, Lin Yuan, am just a nobody."

"To be able to listen to Your oracle is truly a great honor."

"Please forgive my previous silence, for I was simply too excited and did not know how to express my high respect to You."

"Now, I am willing to offer my insignificant loyalty, hoping to please You, even if only by one in a billion."

Lin Yuan's torrent of flattery left the King of the Deep Sea dumbfounded. It wasn't just the King of the Deep Sea; Ghost, standing to the side, was so stunned his jaw almost dropped.

"Gah?"

When it comes to bootlicking, it has to be the master. He really wanted to call Sun Xu and Zero over to listen to this; from now on, this would be the standard for bootlicking.

Perhaps because the emotional value Lin Yuan provided was quite outstanding, the King of the Deep Sea was very pleased, and even the signal became stronger.

"I accept your loyalty."

"Now, open the portal to the Endless Sea and become My spokesman."

Lin Yuan had acted too humbly before, leading the King of the Deep Sea to treat Lin Yuan as a pushover and begin ordering him around. Was Lin Yuan the type of person who could be easily manipulated? Obviously not.

Everything said before was just to lay the groundwork.

"Great God of the Deep Sea, I am willing to offer everything I have to You, even my life, without hesitation."

"But I am only a level 40 Summoner with meager strength; it is truly difficult for me to complete the heavy responsibility You have entrusted to me."

"Please grant me boundless power so that I may successfully open the portal to the Endless Sea."

"Your faithful believer is begging for Your response."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, the King of the Deep Sea suddenly fell silent. Granting boundless power—that was just empty talk to lure him in. Now that Lin Yuan had actively asked for it, how could he possibly fulfill it?

But if he didn't fulfill it, what if this believer he had finally managed to trick ran away? Although he wasn't short of this one believer, the goal of invading the native world would not be achieved. Having been sealed for countless years, the King of the Deep Sea had finally found a native world. As long as he destroyed and devoured it, he could open a crack in the seal, develop stealthily for a few thousand years, and then break through the seal again.

Of course, all of this was predicated on Lin Yuan being able to open the portal to the Endless Sea, allowing the King of the Deep Sea's only remaining minion, the Treader of Waves Modrig, to enter the Blue Star and thereby achieve the goal of destroying the Blue Star. Thinking about it this way, the human in front of him was actually quite important.

Thus, the King of the Deep Sea gave a response.

"What do you want?"

"Weapons, equipment, skills."

"I can satisfy all of them for you."

What could a level 40 Summoner have possibly seen? At most, Epic-quality weapons and equipment. As for skills, an S-rank Skill would probably make him ecstatic. The King of the Deep Sea was confident, thinking that this time he could accomplish a big task with little cost.

Lin Yuan had a smile on his lips; this was the sentence he had been waiting for.

"Praise the great King of the Deep Sea."

"Your bosom is as vast as the starry sky, and Your generosity makes me feel ashamed of myself."

"As Your faithful believer, I do not want much."

"Please grant me a Mythical-quality weapon and a five-piece set of Mythical-quality armor."

"A three-piece set of Mythical-quality jewelry."

"And also, Mythical-quality accessories and auxiliary equipment."
