Chapter 241: Chapter 190: The God Who Slumbers at the Seabed!

As the "Deep Sea Explorer" delved deeper into the exploration, the atmosphere inside and outside the submarine became increasingly tense and mysterious.

The submarine slowly descended into the Baling Pond Strait, and the noise from the surface was gradually replaced by the tranquility of the deep sea.

As the numbers on the depth meter climbed, the interior lights of the craft intertwined with the blue glow of the control panels, becoming the sole source of light.

Despite the faint light from the outside world, the submarine’s observation window, aided by advanced night vision technology, made everything clearly visible.

The water exhibited a profound azure color, with occasional faint bioluminescent glimmers from living creatures, like the most distant stars in the night sky.

As the submarine progressed, clusters of deep-sea fish, curious and attracted by the external illumination, swirled around it. They were varied in shape and vibrant in color, demonstrating the miracles of life even in this dark realm.

The seabed’s topography began to change, with the contours of coral reefs and seamounts emerging and fading on the sonar imagery, their natural wonders appearing enigmatic in the darkness.

In the distance, due to changes in hydrological conditions, differences in water flow and temperature created dynamic patterns in the sonar scans, as if nature’s artistry had sketched a secret map on the ocean floor.

Following that unusual ravine, they eventually reached the source of the gorge—a small underwater mountain.

As indicated by the sonar feedback.

Indeed, as they had expected, there was a significant gap on the surface of the small mountain, a perfect fit with the boulder they had discovered earlier, as if an incredible strength had forcibly stripped it away.

This discovery not only confirmed their hypothesis but also raised further questions about the underlying cause.

Inside the submarine’s command center, several top oceanographers, geologists, and military experts sat around flickering screens.

Discussing this baffling phenomenon with Colonel Marcos.

Various theories were proposed and dismissed, from underwater landslides to unknown geological activities to behaviors of marine creatures not yet recognized by science.

Everyone attempted to provide an explanation from their professional perspective, yet no theory was fully convincing to all.

As the discussion reached an impasse, an unexpected alarm sounded, breaking the silence in the command center.

The submarine’s advanced detection equipment, which is normally used to find underwater caves or shipwrecks, including multibeam sonar and other devices, combined efforts.

They caught an unusual signal—inside the cave formed by the dislodged boulder, there appeared to be signs of a life form.

"Incredible!" a technician exclaimed, "The data shows that it’s not a simple cave, there seems to be some sort of life form inside! Judging by the size, it should not exceed two meters, and it appears to be human-shaped?!"

Colonel Marcos immediately recognized the sensitivity and potential significance of the situation and made a quick decision, "Prepare the close observation equipment. We need to understand the nature of that ’human-shaped’ object as much as possible while staying alert to ensure the safety of all of us."

The submarine ceased movement, cautiously peeking at the scene through a sonar-assisted remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

The small mountain slowly revealed its true form under the light of the ROV.

It wasn’t as sharply contoured as a terrestrial mountain but rather smoothed by time and water, covered with layers of fine sand and seaweed, as if draped in a robe woven from green and brown.

Under the spotlight, the patterns on the mountain’s surface were visible, with tiny marine creatures darting through the small crevices, using this natural shelter to build their homes.

The mountain was not entirely sculpted by nature, for on one side of it, there was an immensely large and irregular cave.

This cave clearly defied the gentle erosion that typifies marine environments, its edges jagged as if torn violently open by some tremendous force, revealing a dark and secret cavity within.

At the cave’s entrance, the light from the searchlights barely penetrated the water, casting shadows on the rugged stone walls, adding an extra layer of mystery and the unknown.

As the light traversed the pitch-black underwater space, coming to the cave formed when a piece of the mountain was knocked off, a shocking image gradually came into focus—a robust male figure.

He was bare-chested, his face obscured by a mask made of sharkskin, with similarly crafted briefs modestly covering his lower body.

His muscles, as if meticulously carved by a sculptor, were accentuated by the dim light.

Next to the man, a stone-crafted ancient trident lay quietly, seemingly signaling his unique identity or mission.

As those eyes peeked through the mask’s slit and faced the observers in the submarine, a peculiar communication unfurled silently through time and space, astonishing everyone present.

What was this...

What’s going on here?

This is the seabed 700 meters deep! Why would there be a naked man here?

And beside this naked man, there lay a stone trident?! Could it be that the Sea King is real?!

Countless question marks filled everyone’s minds.

Even the most professional oceanographers were dumbfounded by this scene, unable to utter a word for a moment.

Such a spectacle was unprecedented to all present.

How could a human be naked at such profound ocean depths?
