Chapter 363: Advancing to Diamond-tier
“Yes, Master. Don’t worry. I’ll do it in a moment.”
After giving the order to Elven, Watson turned his head and looked around. Everyone who saw him felt a chill run down their spines. Watson had fused all the members of the Severed Fingers Gang, including their leader, in an instant. They had become one person, and that person seemed to be under Watson’s control. He was respectful to him. That scene was too terrifying.
The Severed Fingers Gang had tens of thousands of people, and the way those people disappeared in an instant was very frightening. Watson said that he wanted them to submit willingly, and he even wanted them to see that scene. They had not understood Watson’s thoughts, but they did after that.
Tens of thousands of people with severed fingers could be destroyed by Watson in an instant. The sea tribe or the Ptolemy family did not have much more than the gang. If Watson wanted to, he could also turn them into puppets. That kind of ending was even scarier than death.
“The matter with the Severed Fingers Gang has been settled. Next is the matter of the sea tribe and the Ptolemy family. I don’t know if you two—”
Watson turned his head and looked around. His gaze was on the leader of the sea folks and Daniel. However, before he could finish his words, Owen and Poseidon, the sea folks’ leaders, fell to their knees with a plop.
“Watson, the sea folks are willing to submit to you. From now on, the sea folks are your property! ”
Watson nodded. He turned his head again and looked in the direction of Daniel.
“Retreat, quickly fish the boats out of the waterway. What a bunch of idiots. Can’t you see that there’s no water in those waterways? You don’t even know how to fish the boats out. What if the boats are damaged?”
It seemed that they were not there to fight but to sightsee. Daniel berated his men for fishing out the boats one by one. He no longer considered the sea folks to be anything.
What a joke! If Watson continued to bite down on them, the Ptolemy family would probably be the next to disappear from the city. Perhaps that floating city would change its name and become Watson City.
Outside the floating city…
Not far from the shore of Lake Priest, a small boat floated b; a man in black was on it. He was watching with a complicated gaze as the floating city was destroyed by a water-elemental giant that was thousands of meters tall. The water-elemental giant gradually turned into a surging stream of water and disappeared into the floating city and lake.
Because the water=elemental giant that was thousands of meters tall disappeared too quickly, a dark cloud appeared in the sky that did not disperse. The drizzle fell with the mist, wetting the man’s clothes.
“Elven… she clearly had prepared a good wine for me. I feel that she will be a person who can get along with me. What a pity.”
He took out a bottle of red wine from the trunk at the stern, opened the bottle cap, and drank two mouthfuls. The man leisurely left in the direction of the royal city. “That Watson is really a monster. Even though I did not tell Elven the complete information, he transformed into a thousands-of-meter-tall giant and uprooted an entire city. Can an ordinary platinum-tier elite do such a thing? After returning to the royal city, I hope that His Majesty will not assign me tasks related to Watson. I want to live for a while longer.”
The faint sigh dissipated in the air. The man and the small boat left the city gate and gradually disappeared into the city.
Not long after the man left, another group of people walked out of the floating city. Owen and Poseidon led those people. They surrounded a young man, who was a member of the sea folks.
“Young Master Watson, the sea folks are willing to become your property. I wonder when we will sign the contract?”
Owen carefully approached Watson and asked. He did not dare to be careless because he was afraid that Watson would merge him into someone else’s body if he angered Watson, making him no longer himself. At the same time, Owen secretly rejoiced in his heart. He was glad that Watson had a good temper. Previously, when he went against Watson, Watson did not merge him.
“When we go to the bottom of the sea, and you gather all the sea folks, we will sign the contract.”
Watson glanced at Owen. On the surface, he looked serious, but on the inside, he found it funny.
Owen, who had previously ridiculed him, was now cowardly like a coward. Master Antonio was right. As long as one had the power to say something, they would become powerful and be able to convince others to follow it.
Watson understood the benefits of power, but he did not intend to make it the only power. The bond between the shackles of power was frail, and it might snap one day.
After making up his mind, a huge teleportation array appeared under Watson’s feet and brought him and many other sea folks into the territory of the sea folks. At that time, Watson stayed at the bottom of the sea for an entire week.
During that week, Watson helped the sea folks to make a fusion and adjustment between Atlantis and the surrounding waters. The area of Atlantis was now a hundred times larger than before, and the original Atlantis had become an existence similar to the central city. The surroundings were scattered with different palaces, led by the twelve palaces of gold, scattered in an orderly manner.
In addition to the expansion of the territory, the armor worn by the sea folks had also been upgraded by Watson. The armor worn by the sea folks was originally casually polished from the ores at the bottom of the sea, and some people did not wear armor at all. They wore undergarments that were simply polished by seashells to cover their essential parts.
After all, the sea folks’ living environment and racial characteristics meant that they did not know how to make a fire. They also did not know how to use fire for forging. However, with Watson’s help, all of those were different. Watson first used the system fusion to help a portion of the sea folks’ armor upgrade to gold. Then, he summoned the World Transformation Mirror and opened the passage to Mount Creation. A bunch of useless platinum-tier armor and weapons were transported from the mount creation.
When those weapons and armor were first transported over, the entire sea crew was in an uproar. When the sea folks learned that those weapons were all produced by Watson, and to the people on Mount Creation, those weapons could only be considered ordinary, their feelings toward Watson also changed.
Initially, Watson had helped them a lot, and they were grateful. Later, because of Watson’s system fusion ability, they fell into the trap of tools. As for now, their feelings toward Watson had turned into respect, just like the respect toward their sea god. If they were to treat a person close to their strength, their feelings toward him could be many-sided. However, if that person’s strength in all aspects surpassed theirs by too much, they would not dare to have any other emotions other than respect toward that person.
Today, on the seventh day that Watson had arrived at the bottom of the sea, the sea folks were holding a grand event.
“The direction of the sculpture is a little off. Go back a little more.”
“Use more strength. That is Young Master Watson’s sculpture. Any collision would be disrespectful to him.”
In the huge abyss that Atlantis was originally guarding, the altar once there had been removed and replaced by a sculpture that was thousands of meters tall and flashing with platinum color. Tens of thousands of sea folks pulled it with ropes and other things, and it was slowly thrown into the abyss.
Soon, the sculpture was thrown into the abyss. The huge sculpture filled up the abyss and turned into a tower that was taller than the entire country. That sculpture could be seen by anyone who lives near the sea.
“Young Master Watson, I wonder if you are satisfied with the placement of that sculpture?”
Owen did not help to place the sculpture. Instead, he was floating in the ocean with Watson on top of a palace in the distance, asking with a flattering expression.
The current Owen was different from the one from a few days ago. He was wearing a set of platinum-tier armor. That armor was specially designed for mermaids. Even though the fishtail was covered with a layer of platinum-tier scales, the weapon in Owen’s hand had also become a platinum-tier harpoon.
If seven days ago, they had only agreed to become Watson’s vassal race out of fear, now they had become loyal to Watson from the bottom of their hearts.
If they were to submit to Watson, they would receive free platinum-tier items. Even their living environment would be brand new. Furthermore, they could use the tunnel constructed by the world transformation mirror to go to Mount Creation at any time to purchase goods produced by humans. That was a heavenly kingdom for Owen. After all, his biggest dream was to destroy the floating city and capture a group of human craftsmen to work for him.
However, how could the craftsmen of the floating city compare to those of the Mount of Creation?
“Not bad, but is not that abyss the sacred place that you usually use to worship the sea god? Is not placing my sculpture inside disrespectful to the sea god? ”
“It doesn’t matter. That place is a sacred place for worship because the abyss once stored the Sea God’s Trident, the god weapon of the sea race. However, that god weapon of the sea race was lost a long time ago! “We once sent people to inquire about the news and found out that it was all fake. Perhaps because we lost the god weapon, the sea god probably stopped protecting us long ago. Otherwise, we would not have been captured by so many humans.”
Seeing Watson’s worry, Owen waved his hand and said indifferently.
Not to mention, the sea god no longer protected them. Even if the sea god protected them, it would also delay their faith in Watson. After all, Watson could give them a rich life and powerful platinum-tier resources. Even a god might not be able to do that.
“Young Master Watson, Your Idol has been built. Next is your coronation ceremony. Please come on stage.”
Poseidon, who was wearing a silk dress, walked over slowly and made a gesture of invitation to Watson. Poseidon’s long dress kept fluttering under the water, looking very beautiful. Obviously, that long dress was created by a human.
Nodding, Watson followed behind Poseidon and came to the sky above the newly built statue. Standing on the head of the statue, he looked down and saw that most of the sea folks were gathered in front of him, looking at him with keen eyes.
“Next, we will hold the coronation ceremony for Young Master Watson. Young Master Watson requested that the sea folks become his subordinate race and listen to his orders seven days ago. However, Young Master Watson is not satisfied with the traditional way of signing a slave contract! “Therefore, after the high-tier decision of the sea folks, we have decided to turn Young Master Watson into our faith and let him become the second God who protects our race on par with the sea god.”
Poseidon’s voice was transmitted through the sea through magic so that all the sea folks could hear it clearly.
“In the past, we sea folks were bullied because we weren’t strong enough. Now, we have weapons that can protect us! “In the past, we stayed in the sea because we were lost. Now, our God has pointed out the direction for us. We are willing to offer our faith to Young Master Watson, just like we used to believe in the Sea God.”
“We are willing to offer our faith to Young Master Watson.”
Following Poseidon’s voice, tens of thousands of sea tribes knelt and worshipped him. They looked at him with sparkling eyes and shouted in unison.
It might sound incredible to ask the sea tribes that hated humans to worship a human and treat humans as their faith. However, to the sea tribes, that was very normal. Why would they have to ask that?
Then, a huge mirror appeared. Rings of light rippled around the mirror, and before it opened, a large number of shiny feathers floated down, turning the sea into a sacred kingdom. As the feathers floated down.., the low moans of the gods gradually sounded in the air. Angels with six pure white wings floating on their backs and halos above their heads instantly descended into the water.
At the forefront of those angels was an army of 100,000 people dressed in black armor. Every one of them emitted a platinum-tier aura. Behind those 100,000 angels were millions of ordinary angels that could not pass through the world conversion mirror. They could only worship Watson on the Mount of Creation.
Praise Young Master Watson, just as you would praise the Sun. ”
The 100,000 angels above their heads were still emitting thunderous voices. Many of the sea folks immediately felt immense pressure, and at the same time, a trace of pride appeared on their faces.
If the sea folks were the kings of the sea, then the angels were the overlords of the sky. As a mysterious and powerful ancient race, they all recognized Watson as their master. As for the sea folks, they were no more than angels. Those days, when Watson was helping to transform Atlantis at the bottom of the sea, he also mentioned the Creation Mountain and the Tower of Babel that he had created. He was planning to build a third “Miracle on the Surface” in Atlantis.
It was called the Dragon Palace.
The Dragon Palace would be based on Atlantis and spread throughout the entire sea area. As long as there was a sea, there would be traces of the Dragon Palace. It was a huge project to control the resources at the bottom of the sea firmly. Watson worked for a full seven days before he came up with a framework. He decided to complete the rest of the work when he cooperated with the sea folks.
Accepting the sea folks as an affiliated race was not only because of the trial that Antonio mentioned but also because Watson needed the help of that race to plant the seeds for the overthrow of that country in the future. What he needed to do now was the first step of the overthrow.
Watson’s body suddenly had a thick aura of faith under the worship of millions of angels and tens of thousands of sea folks. That power of faith was so powerful that it was like a sun appearing in the sea, enveloping Watson within it. It illuminated all directions.
At the same time, after absorbing that power of faith, the source of chaos elemental magic in Watson’s soul suddenly increased in size. He broke through from the diamond level into an unknown domain. That domain was the domain of the gods.
Watson felt his mind explode. The source of chaos elemental magic changed from the shape of a fountain to the shape of a country. Many figures appeared in the country. Those figures included the sea folks and the residents of Mount Genesis. The soul projections of those who had dedicated their faith to Watson appeared here. Their bodies were bathed in the violent aura of chaos.
The country that the source of Chaos Elemental Mana had turned into was not an ordinary mortal country but a divine country. At that moment, the capacity of the source of Chaos Elemental Mana had officially changed to the starlight level. Its capacity had expanded by hundreds or thousands of times, and the people at the source of Chaos Elemental Mana received feedback.
“I feel that brand new energy has been injected into my body. What kind of power is that?”
A sea folk kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his right hand, and a ball of chaotic color appeared in his hand. The seawater covered by the chaotic color instantly dissipated as if it had been eliminated from that world.
“That power can be divided into six different elements. It’s really amazing!”
The other female mermaid did not show any chaotic colors on her body. Instead, there were six different elements of light, darkness, fire, water, and wind. The six colors made her look like a fairy.
“That strange energy should be given to us by Young Master Watson!”
Soon, the sea folks who sensed the chaotic elements raised their heads and looked at Watson, who was surrounded by the power of faith. Their eyes couldn’t penetrate the dense power of faith, and they could only vaguely see Watson’s figure. They subconsciously showed a grateful expression.
They did not expect that they would receive such great benefits from their faith in Watson. Just the elemental power of chaos alone had increased their strength by more than ten times, not to mention that a large amount of knowledge had been transferred into their minds, allowing their strength to multiply. After feeling the benefits, their faith in Watson became more and more pious.
Initially, most of their faith in Watson was due to the benefits that Watson had given them. However, now, they really regarded Watson as a god.
The more concentrated power of faith entered Watson’s body, allowing the Mana source that had just become a starlight level to expand once again and stabilize at the starlight level. Meanwhile, Watson, who had been stuck at the peak of platinum-tier all that while, had also loosened his tier at that moment. The tremendous power of faith helped him directly cross the boundary between platinum and diamond-tier, allowing him to enter the diamond tier.
Boom!
The instant he entered the diamond, a phantom image that spanned thousands of meters appeared behind Watson. The Phantom image connected the sky and the Earth, causing dark clouds to cover the sky. Thunder rumbled, and whirlpools appeared in the seawater, rolling up 100-meter waves.
The aura that filled the sky spread, and the pressure from higher-tier beings caused the sea tribe and the angels to kneel respectfully.
The world changed in Watson’s eyes at that moment. Initially, the world was bright in his eyes, but after advancing to the diamond level, the world became abstract in his eyes, like countless huge threads entangled together by lines. Those lines were the rules, and different rules interweaved to become things.
The diamond level grasped the rules. People before that level saw the world only on the surface, but after reaching that level, they saw the essence.
Watson had initially grasped dozens of rules, but after advancing to the diamond level, those rules spontaneously fused in two, causing the number to increase dramatically, becoming hundreds.
Hundreds of rules twisted together as if they wanted to form a shadow of a kingdom in his mind.
Following the shadow of the kingdom in his mind, Watson extended his right hand in front of him, controlling the rules in the seawater to be extracted. On the other hand, there was a rule called the Water Element. What was extracted there was a rule called the Transformation. The seawater alone contained hundreds of thousands of rules, and Watson only knew a part of them.
Those rules twisted and entwined in front of Watson, vaguely turning into a huge palace made of seawater. It was obviously made of seawater, but the walls of the palace had a crystal luster, and at the same time, it emitted a sacred aura. It made everyone who saw the palace look shocked.
“A divine kingdom! Is that the legendary divine kingdom?”
