Since it was in the water, the Deep Sea Lords were the main force of this operation.
Lu Yao switched to manual mode and mouse clicked on the ability [Dive].
The island-form Gul slowly dived into the water, doubling its speed and becoming swift to the naked eye.
Under Lu Yao’s control, the Deep Sea Lord travelled all the way to the west, advancing through the blue-white pixelated ocean.
Not long after moving away from the western continent, it soon encountered bone fish.
These fish made up of skeletons swarmed up from the deep sea, frantically crashing towards Gul.
However, their attacks were too low, and misses kept popping up above the head of the speeding Deep Sea Lord, with the occasional hit showing a -0.
This reminded Lu Yao of a time when he went up with his classmates.
In a foot bath shop in the city, he had his first experience with a fish bath. A bunch of toothless little fish were in the water, surrounding and nibbling at the dead skin on his feet, crisping up.
Now the bonefish were doing the same thing.
The gul is like a huge, heavy icebreaker under the sea. It sailed between the many bone fish, waving its huge tentacles, crushing all the schools of bone fish along the way, and pushed forward towards the west without any obstacles ……
In the depths of the western sea, a small land mass was added to the sea surface.
This continent was entirely made up of bones – or rather the bone fish connected to each other and moulded themselves, they were like a multitude of tiny building blocks. The floating island was still growing in size, with more bones growing out from the edges.
From Lu Yao’s perspective, the bone island looked like a large piece of white algae on the surface of the sea.
As soon as the Deep Sea Lord approached, the entire bone island boiled violently.
Its body slowly morphed, sprouting wide dorsal and pectoral fins, and its burly tail slowly swung, revealing the blade-like caudal fin underneath.
The entire bone island turned into some sort of massive living thing, one size larger than a deep sea lord.
A name emerged above its head: [Skeleton Buster Whale].
Lu Yao clicked on his opponent’s panel.

……
The Skeleton Buster Whale was not at all on the same level as the Lords of the Deep from the data panel.
However, its unique [Whale Fall] ability made Lu Yao wary.
It was an escape skill.
If it was a little careless, the Skeleton Buster Whale could turn into a whole and quickly run away.
It was rather a nuisance.
In order not to scare away the Skeleton Buster Whale, Lu Yao controlled the Deep Sea Lord to fight in a roundabout manner, pretending to come and go.
The Skeleton Buster Whale created [Deep Sea Impact], causing layers of tsunami waves to surround Gul, constantly creating -5 damage values above its head. On the scene, it was the active attacker.
Suddenly, a dialogue box popped up above the giant whale’s head.
“Unknown sea monster, the Skeleton Hat God has descended into this broken world, and it is the right time to recruit followers.”
“I recognise your strength. As long as you are willing to submit to the gods, I will ask the great Wrecking Hat God so that you too can become an honourable apostle and devote yourself to the gods’ greatness.”
Lu Yao was a bit surprised.
Didn’t think that there was still this.
Wrecking Hat God, a god that came across the border?
Lu Yao was wary of a hundred thousand things in his heart.
At the same time, he felt puzzled.
According to the information from the committee given by Song Shiyi, the Shard World was a random drop site for trainee gods. Outside Gods could still smuggle themselves into the Novice Village?
Lu Yao immediately set the danger of the Skeleton Hasa God as the highest.
Ignoring how he got in first, it was imperative to consider taking out this intruder as soon as possible.
Lu Yao had a bit of a headache for a moment.
The Deep Sea Lord was just a monster, it was impossible to type over its head or communicate verbally, it could only be manually controlled.
That Skeleton Hasa God shouldn’t have paid attention to this place yet. Otherwise, he would have been able to see the [Allegiance to Yao God] on top of Gur’s head, and there wouldn’t have been this lobbying by the Skeleton Buster Whale.
Lu Yao temporarily told the Deep Sea Lord to stay put and wait to see what would happen, pondering in his heart for a solution.
Seeing that the other party did not react, the bones on the backbone of the Skeleton Buster Whale slowly opened up. A skeleton stuck out between the bones, and two ghostly flames flickered in the skeleton’s eye grottoes.
A new name was displayed on the skeleton: [Apostle LV22] Fellows.

……
The apostle named Phyllus added, “It seems like you don’t possess basic communication skills, what a pity.”
“But with your power, you should be able to understand what I mean.”
“Of the Apostles under the Skeleton Hasa God, I am merely the most insignificant one, and it would be easy to take over this Shard World.”
“If you are willing to submit to Wrecking Hat God, follow me.”
“If you want to fight, then I will continue to accompany you.”
Fellows shrank back into his bones after saying this and swam slowly towards the west in his Skeleton Buster Whale.
Lu Yao immediately operated Gur to follow it.
He was seeing it.
Apostle Fellows had created the Skeleton Buster Whale with [Skeleton Manufacturing]. The floating island-like Baleen Whale in the sea was nothing more than a skeleton weapon manipulated by Fellows, and the [Symbiote] trait allowed him to become one with the giant whale.
Those bone fish in the sea were also pounded out by Fellows.
Lu Yao silently digested this information.
The distress he felt just now turned into a fluke now.
Luckily, the one that came was the Deep Sea Lord, it wasn’t a hero or an apostle, it was just a monster unit summoned with special props. With Phyllus’s Apostle ability, he couldn’t identify the manipulator behind Gul.
This once again made Lu Yao firm up an idea: maintaining group diversity was indeed necessary.
There were times when the identity of apostles and heroes would act inconveniently instead.
He continued to focus on the simulator.
Fellows piloted the giant whale across a large area of sea and arrived at an isolated island.
Lu Yao saw at a glance that a grey idol stood on the island. The idol’s face was blurred, like some sort of amphibious creature that stood upright.
I’ve found you!
Lu Yao quickly tapped [Miracle].
He might only have this one chance to strike.
It was also the best time.
In a fit of ruthlessness, Lu Yao directly tapped out 250 rounds of [Lightning] in one breath.
The lightning swarm created by 5000 Faith Points crashed down from the sky!
The grey idol was hit by the sudden descent of the chain of lightning bolts, immediately inspiring a defensive layer-like white light. But the resistance didn’t last long, and soon the light layer was blasted to pieces.
The idol began to peel off in pieces, looking shaky.
This scene caused Fellows beside him to be shocked, followed by outbursts of anger: “Despicable heretics! Damn it, damn it!”
Lu Yao had a few regrets in his heart. Still, he had underestimated the Wrecking Hat God’s faith reserves.
However, from his experience, he observed that the other god’s statue was close to collapsing, and there was not much faith left.
Fellows manipulated the giant whale to stick out its bone-made tongue, grabbing the idol into the skeleton creature’s body and diving into the sea to try to escape.
Meanwhile, the deep sea lord deadlocked on the giant whale, and both sides tangled in the sea. Both sides moved fast under the sea, making it impossible for Lu Yao to precisely lock on with the mouse, and the operation became difficult.
Although Phyllus was quite a bit weaker, it would still take some time for Guile to completely crush his opponent.
As delay was a factor, Lu Yao opened the props bar.
He tapped out the crosshair of the [Mirror of Fire Blaze] and locked onto this part of the sea.
In the northern forest of the Western Continent, the volcanic spectacle [Egil’s Fire] surged with magma and once again spewed out pillars of sky-high clouds.
Seconds later, clusters of burning meteorites fell from the sky in droves, launching an intense bombardment of Philus!
The sea was blasted with a white mist and smoke.
A clear and huge damage value emerged from the water: -2365
The words of the [Skeleton Buster Whale] completely disappeared.
The broken idol slowly floated up to the surface of the sea and sank with the waves.
