Chapter 906 – Whale Fall

　　After this reddish aura swept across the entire sea, it rushed up to the shore, like a huge wave of circular radiation after a nuclear explosion, erupting sharply into the surroundings!

　　”Mind magic, [Demon Swinging Heart Ring].”

　　”Mind magic, [Clear Mind].”

　　”Mind magic, [Weak Emotion Spell].”

　　Merlin gently raised the magic scepter in his hand, and three white magic formations opened above his and Lin Qiye’s heads at the same time, surging into their respective bodies.

　　Waves of red awned waves rolled over the three of them, and Lin Qiye only felt his breathing stutter before quickly returning to normal.

　　”Sir Merlin, this is ……”

　　”Do you know about Whalefall?”

　　Lin Qiye nodded slightly, “I’ve heard of it a bit, it refers to the process of the nutrients in the carcass of a whale feeding back to the sea after it dies and sinks to the bottom of the sea.”

　　Mei Lin looked at the corpse of the transformed whale that gradually sank above the sea of blood and slowly spoke, “That transformed whale absorbed a large amount of red moon breath, and after the whale fall, all the red moon breath contained within its body was dispersed to the fullest extent, and by virtue of its horrifying size, the impact of the red moon breath produced by such a whale fall is undoubtedly a small red moon that has been condensed by thousands of times.

　　If that moon in the sky is a continuous weak influence, then this whale that fell in the sea of blood is a pollution bomb that instantly exploded.

　　The concentration of pollution here now is probably more than a thousand times what you encountered in the fishing village.”

　　A thousand times the pollution?

　　Lin Qiye’s face sunk slightly as he looked at the world that was filled with red light everywhere around him.

　　The red moon in the fishing village had already tortured them to the point of being worse than death, and now with a thousand times the concentration of pollution here, I’m afraid that humans wouldn’t be able to survive for even a second ……

　　”I’ve already put triple mind magic on your body, which can barely withstand the red moon pollution here and allow you to move freely here, but it can only last for a day at most.” Merlin turned to look at Garland on the side and said with a smile:

　　”As for this girl …… shouldn’t need my help.”

　　Jia Lan nodded her head obediently.

　　Lin Qiye looked at the corpse of the transformed whale in the distance and then at the red moon overhead, and the color of doubt in his eyes intensified.

　　”Lord Merlin, I’m getting more and more confused.” He shook his head and said, “Why would this transformed whale return to the High Heavenly Plains? Why is there a red moon here? Where did the gods of the High Heavenly Plains go? And what exactly is this havoc you speak of?”

　　Merlin smiled faintly, reaching out in the void, an ancient western-style carriage appeared at his side, the silver-white carriage swirling with a faint halo under the red moon, three ghostly white horses dripping with holy light, standing silently before the carriage.

　　”Get on, I’ll explain to you a little bit.”

　　Wang Mian took a sip of tea and continued to ask:

　　”What exactly is the inside of the High Heavenly Plains like?”

　　”…… It’s very strange.” Wu Xiangnan recalled for a moment and frowned as he spoke, “After we passed through that door, it was a vast sea of blood, and the air was filled with a sickening blood stench, not at all like a place where the gods in mythology reside.

　　Moreover, in the sky there, there hangs a red moon …… just like what you just said, under that moonlight, we can t help but be a little cranky.”

　　”Red moon?” Wang Mian instantly associated the scarlet eyes of that corpse beast, as if he understood something, murmured, “So, the red moon aura that affects the ‘human circle’ is diffused from the High Heavenly Plains?”

　　”Under that moonlight, our thinking was all a bit radical, and instead of choosing to leave the way we came in the first place, we chose to continue chasing the Orochi Orochi.

　　When it first attacked the coast of Daxia, out of its eight heads, only three pairs of eyes were blood red, but after returning here, the number of its red eyes increased rapidly, four pairs, five pairs …… Waiting until it had seven pairs of eyes that had all turned red, it even gave up on running away and berserked and turned around to fight with us.

　　You should know that in Daxia, it has already been beaten to the brink of death by your [Mask] and the Sword Saint jointly, we simply did not expect, it actually can still counterattack.

　　In the end, although it took some effort, we still managed to kill it.”

　　Wang Mian carefully recalled for a moment and nodded, “When you said that, I did remember that the Yaki Orochi that suddenly invaded the coast of Daxia back then had a few eyes that were red, much like the way it looked when it was contaminated by the Red Moon ……

　　So, it escaped from the High Heavenly Plains back then and invaded Daxia in a violent and out-of-control situation?”

　　”That should be the case.” Wu Xiangnan continued, “After we beheaded the Yachi Orochi, we also realized that our own emotions seemed a bit off, and immediately chose to return the same way …… But by then it was already too late.”

　　”A Japanese god found you guys?”

　　”No, not gods …… but a group of monsters with black liquid flowing all over their bodies.” Memories surfaced in Wu Xiangnan’s eyes, “Their eyes were blood red like that red moon, and they came from all directions in terrifying numbers, and the aura fluctuations emanating from their bodies were at least in the ‘Limitless’ realm.”

　　Wang Mian associated it with the monster that was killed by Yuzuru Takeru White, “Corpse Beast?”

　　”Well, I came up with this name because I saw with my own eyes that a few of these monsters crawled out of the corpse of the Orochi Orochi, so I called them Corpse Beasts.” Wu Xiangnan continued, “There were so many of them that we were forced to keep moving deeper and deeper, trying to shake them off ……

　　Finally, we met him.”

　　Wu Xiangnan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his eyes flickering with a faint light of hatred ……

　　”I can never forget that scene.

　　Under the blood-like red moon, he was clad in a blood-stained god’s robe, with a red hooked jade hanging from his chest, holding the Heavenly Crowning Cloud Sword, sitting on top of the mountain of gods’ corpses that towered into the sky ……

　　He, then, is Susanoo.”

　　High Heavenly Plains.

　　A silver-colored carriage moved swiftly forward through the blood-colored world.

　　Lin Qiye and Jia Lan were sitting on one side, while Merlin sat alone on the other side of the carriage, looking at the two across from each other with a smile on his face, a touch of playfulness surfacing between his brows.

　　”Your Excellency Seven Nights, if you have any questions, ask them now.”

　　Lin Qiye hmmmed and ran through his thoughts in his head, “High Heavenly Plains, what exactly happened?”

　　Merlin pointed at the red moon in the sky and said, “More than fifty years ago, the Cthulhu Gods broke the corner of the seal and projected the source of contamination here, forming this red moon, you’ve just come out of that fishing village, you should be well aware of what this red moon can do.”

　　”Make the gods of the High Heavenly Plains kill each other?” Lin Qiye frowned and asked, “That red moon can affect the gods?”

　　”The location of the High Heavenly Plains was originally over Japan, the closest to the moon, and the intensity of the pollution was much greater than that fishing village.

　　Moreover, what you saw at the fishing village was not a complete full moon, what was really illuminated by the full moon was just a moment before the end of the closed loop ……”
