Chapter 791: Chapter 789: Belonging_1

"The Emperor" felt that perhaps his hierarchy chart needed some adjustments.

Because just now, every person on the island had witnessed the annihilation of the Tide Master.

No one knew what He had heard, but all of a sudden, as if gone mad, He began flailing His limbs wildly, yet His violent motions failed to raise even a single wave on the sea’s surface, creating a stark contrast with the normally tumultuous ocean and tides.

Then, starting from His fingertips, in less than a minute, the huge body that had blocked everyone’s view turned to dust in their sight, leaving behind not even a trace.

Only the still blood-red sea and the floating limbs at the island’s edge spoke of the fierce battle that had just occurred on the sea.

"The Tide Master...has been eliminated?"

"The Emperor" asked RT6.

In his vision, even if the Tide Master was to be eliminated, it would inevitably be through an extremely brutal battle, the aftermath of which might destroy the sea and islands, leaving the people of Atlantis amidst widespread devastation, feeling the joy of having survived the catastrophe.

Yet the reality was not so.

The Tide Master’s death throes did not stir any waves, and aside from his overly large body, His death was as inconspicuous as that of a nameless street thug.

"Yes, He has been eliminated."

RT6’s voice revealed a hint of bewilderment, for unlike the confused people on the island, she knew some inside information.

It was a live report from "The King."

This report had brought her more shock than the Tide Master’s demise.

"The King" said that the Father God, whom Diago worshipped, simply took the Tide Master to a better place on His way back from cooking.

Later, "The King" still had other lessons to learn.

Tonight he was going to learn how to make three home-cooked dishes.

"The King" had also tried to ask Song Lan how exactly he had eliminated the Tide Master, and the response he received was thought-provoking.

——"The Tide Master died a natural death."

An elderly person, having lived for thousands of years, suddenly succumbed to a disease after vigorous exercise, which is entirely in line with medical principles.

Song Lan even tried to interpret the mystery of the Tide Master’s death through the lens of modern medicine.

But at the same time, they also had to face a question that sent chills down their spines.

"The Emperor" and RT6, sharing the same thought, voiced the doubt present in the mind of every mechanical citizen, "If I may ask boldly, compared to your mother, who is stronger, the person who eliminated the Tide Master or Her?"

Everything that had happened on this island had already exceeded his understanding, to the point where it even made him question his concept of "God."

The Tide Master fit every image he had of a deity.

When heroes from all directions finally assembled and repelled the minions of God to challenge Him, they realized that they faced an insurmountable force.

Exhausting all their strength, they could not shake Him in the slightest, such was the realm of God.

When that divine hand cradled the entire island in its palm, he did not even consider how to overcome his adversary.

As Archbishop Helifis had said, simply being able to withdraw from these waters was already the ultimate victory humanity could achieve.

Even if her theory was feasible, vanquishing the Tide Master would become a daunting task spanning 3-5 years, during which countless sacrifices would be made.

This time, RT6 fell into a prolonged silence in response to his question.

The silence said it all.

"The Emperor" knew RT6’s personality well; had her revered mother been stronger than the opponent, she would have stated so without hesitation, and even taken the opportunity to taunt him a bit.

"No, it shouldn’t be this way,"

RT6 murmured to herself, appearing to be deeply doubting herself, "After the Dark Ages, they suffered a civil war, they should be badly weakened by now."

Her mother could defeat the Tide Master, but it should not have been this easy.

The description of Song Lan’s state by "The King" had at one point filled RT6 with fear; it seemed that man had never truly considered the Tide Master a threat from start to finish.

Even though the Tide Master’s strength had soared to incredible levels after a millennium of sacrifices, he was still not treated as a true opponent.

"The Emperor" said, "However, I do find him quite easy to get along with."

Though he had never met him in person, the attitude of "Father God" towards the orphans of Silvermoon Harbor and the people of Atlantis had overturned his recognition of "God."

Without any sacrifice ceremonies or fanatical faith, "Father God’s" attitude towards his followers resembled that of a caring old father, even teaching the wandering children how to make rice balls and fishbone porridge for a hearty meal.

Consequently, "The Emperor" came up with a new plan.

"Since you can’t answer this question, why not see for yourself? According to our agreement, I am supposed to bring him some local products from Zone 17."

"Yes."

RT6 agreed with "The Emperor’s" suggestion.

Upon further reflection, she figured that there might be nothing about Song Lan that was worth fearing at all.

"The King" had stayed by his side for several days, not only had he not been killed, but he had also received the true transmission of culinary skills.

In fact, when "The King" decided to visit Song Lan’s home, they were both prepared to lose each other forever.

From Song Lan’s attitude towards them, it seemed that he didn’t dislike mechanical beings, nor did he treat them as enemies, which made RT6 also want to see this mysterious "Father God" for herself.

Soon, her attention was quickly drawn to those strange insects.

They hadn’t stopped their activities, and after the complete annihilation of the Tidal Master, the beautiful griffin with white feathers finally landed, confidently striding into the crowd to bring the exhilarating news to everyone.

—"The Tidal Master has been defeated, and from now on, this island will be under the protection of the Bug Swarm."

In the recent battle, the Bug Swarm had collected a significant amount of biomass, enough to transform into a force adept at naval warfare.

According to the Bug Swarm Queen’s strategy, these islands could serve as their evolution ponds, and the envoys of the Tidal Master, who belonged to the same genetic faction, had given the Devourers much inspiration.

This scene made RT6 even more puzzled.

The leaders of the Spiritual Energy faction, controlled mutant monsters?

She couldn’t imagine how the other party had managed to win over these mutated beings and incorporate them into their ranks.

After the initial panic, the people of Atlantis gradually accepted these insects who could understand human language, and when they asked about sacrifices and offerings, the emissaries of the Bug Swarm told them that nothing needed to be handed over; they only had to provide some uninhabited islands as research bases, and in return, they would receive the protection of the Bug Swarm.

No, there must be some conspiracy behind this.

How could a "Deity" possibly let these potential followers go?

Thinking of this, RT6 sent new instructions to the Emperor, "Go find Diago and probe his intentions."

The Emperor eventually found Diago among the crowd at the city square, where a sizable gathering had formed, called together by the historian Omelo and the Paladins, suggesting that they take this opportunity to open a new shipping route between the Misty Archipelago and Silvermoon Harbor.

Without the envoys of the Tidal Master, they could finally see the world beyond the islands for themselves.

They should follow the tradition of Atlantis, returning to the thriving Great Age of Sailing.

"What are you doing here?"

The Emperor saw that Diago seemed somewhat downcast and sat down beside him.

"Nothing."

Diago said, looking down, his voice muffled.

"Your worries are written all over your face, feel free to talk to me about them."

"...Father God rejected my proposal."

With the defeat of the Tidal Master, the Tidal Church naturally stood no chance of continuing its existence, and Diago saw this as a golden opportunity to spread the Church’s doctrine on the island. They could quickly establish a Church here and recruit a large number of followers who believed in Father God.

He was willing to continue serving as an emissary of Father God, to stay on this island.

"Father God said my mission was complete, and my companions at Silvermoon Harbor were waiting for my return. From today on, unless there’s something important, I shouldn’t contact him."

"Being able to return to your companions is for the best."

This wasn’t surprising to The Emperor; unlike RT6, he didn’t think "Father God" had ulterior motives for this forsaken island.

"Father God also pointed out a way forward for us."

"Oh? A way forward? I’d like to hear about it."

"Father God said we could open a fishbone porridge and rice ball shop in Silvermoon Harbor; Kunka can help us with the store issues."

Starting today, he had to get used to life without guidance.

"That’s a good thing, I’ll support it when I pass by Silvermoon Harbor."

The Emperor patted Diago on the shoulder to comfort him, as he now considered the Paladins and the youth part of his team, even though this was also a nerve-wracking adventure for him.

Through this experience, he had learned an important life lesson.

Going it alone had no future.

Learning to team up and choosing the right allies often yielded better results than just working hard on your own.

However, there was still one important issue to resolve before leaving the Misty Archipelago.

Having completed the task assigned by RT6, The Emperor found a secluded place, "What plans does RT4 and its mechanical army have next?"

As far as he knew, these robots didn’t travel miles to the Misty Archipelago just to volunteer; RT6 had mentioned that the real attraction for them was the Secret Treasure of the lost kingdom.

Now that they had saved the princess and some members of the royal family through surgery, the key to unlocking the Secret Treasure was hidden in the Paladin’s Octave Box.

Given the modus operandi of the mechanical army, The Emperor couldn’t help worrying that they would eventually come into conflict with the locals over the possession of the Secret Treasure.

"What exactly is this Secret Treasure you speak of?"

"Since you asked with such sincerity..."

RT6 deliberately paused, "Then I shall, in my great mercy, lead you to it—before RT4 does."
