Chapter 18 The Reformation Cult
The white "tail flame," accompanied by the crackling sound of steam, split the sea in two.
Xu Yuan dives into the deep sea, his body enveloped by a massive supercavitation bubble.
This isn't swimming; it's practically underwater flight!
The seawater was pushed aside and vaporized by the extreme force, forming an excellent drag-reducing barrier, turning him into a human-shaped torpedo that tore through the vast waves.
However, this is currently the maximum speed that Wishing can achieve.
Unless he can find a way to consistently enter a dream state...
……
On the vast high seas.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!—"
On the "Kaikou Maru," a deep-sea fishing vessel from a certain island nation, the fish detection radar suddenly emitted a piercing shrill sound.
Captain Matsumoto, who was sipping his sake, suddenly put down his cup and scrambled to the radar screen!
Such a strong signal at this depth... could it be the long-awaited school of large yellow croakers?
He could almost see mountains of banknotes.
Could it be that I'm about to hit the jackpot today?
The captain quickly put down the sake in his hand and jogged over to the radar.
but……
The radar display, however, plunged him into an icy abyss!
It is not a school of fish.
Instead, it was a long, narrow object, about two meters long and half a meter wide, rushing straight toward them!
The radar on their civilian fishing boat was indeed unable to accurately detect objects.
Even with a large deviation, it shouldn't be enough to detect a school of fish as a single individual!
Moreover, what terrified him most was that the radar detected that the object was traveling at a speed of 700 knots!
The world's fastest torpedo can only reach 200 knots!
This object is traveling at more than three times the speed of a normal object!
As an old sailor who has spent his whole life dealing with the sea.
The only thing he could think of was some mysterious legends circulating among sailors...
UFO, water monster, Umibozu...
At the same time, the other sailors and crew on the fishing boat also heard the radar alarm and rushed into the captain's cabin with excited expressions.
"Captain, did we just stumble upon a school of giant yellow croakers?"
The captain slumped into his chair, his face filled with despair.
"We hit the jackpot, but not with fish, but with... a sea monster!"
He was well aware of the capabilities of his fishing boat. Although it was quite good among deep-sea fishing vessels, it was completely inadequate in the face of the approaching sea monster!
You can't even change direction before the other party gets close!
The other sailors and crew members on board were taken aback when they heard the captain's words, and instinctively looked towards the radar.
Upon hearing the commotion, the crew rushed into the captain's cabin, their excitement turning to ashen as they saw the radar data.
"Turn around! Turn around now!" someone yelled.
"It's too late! It's too fast!" Matsumoto slumped in his chair, his face ashen, as if he could already hear the deafening sound of the ship being torn apart.
Finished!
It's all over!
Mom, you don't need to cook for me tonight!
The crew members on deck desperately raised their phones, trying to record this final, terrifying experience from the deep sea.
……
At this moment, Xu Yuan, who was underwater, took out his phone to check the distance.
It's 3000 kilometers away from Florida.
It should take about three hours to arrive.
I wonder if Cheng Yong will be pleasantly surprised to see me.
After all, he was the one who sent me!
"Um?"
Is there a boat ahead?
Although Xu Yuan's body does not have radar function, his eyesight is also improving as his physical fitness increases.
He could see the bottom of a fishing boat in the distance, so he had to adjust his direction and try to go around it from the side!
Because of the change in direction, his speed inevitably slowed down.
As for the people on the ship?
He had absolutely no interest in contacting them.
After adjusting its direction, Xu Yuan whizzed past on the left side of the fishing boat!
At this moment, the sailors and captain on the fishing boat were all stunned.
This……
The captain, in the cabin, saw the "mysterious object" on the radar suddenly change direction and pass by them.
After a moment of stunned silence, his eyes welled up with tears of emotion!
He narrowly escaped death!
He vowed that after returning safely this time, he would never again work in the deep sea!
The sailors on deck only managed to capture a fleeting shadow below the horizon on their phones, along with a long white line behind it...
"We...survived?"
The deck was deathly silent.
A sailor watched the "water monster" drift away, his lips trembling as he broke the silence.
"It should be..." Another sailor had just opened his mouth to speak when a loud rumbling sound came from afar.
"Boom boom boom..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
They only saw a white line rising from the sea in the distance, splitting the sea in two, accompanied by huge waves.
Giant waves?
wrong!
"Captain! Turn the helm! Move out! A wave is coming!"
The sailors rushed toward the cabin, screaming at the top of their lungs.
The giant wave was getting closer and closer, and it was clearly too late to steer.
"boom!"
The waves crashed against the side of the ship with unparalleled force!
Squeak, squeak.
The steel plates on the side of the fishing boat emitted a series of teeth-grinding, twisting sounds...
……
When Xu Yuan turned around unintentionally, he happened to see a fishing boat tossed about in the waves and the Japanese flag on the other boat.
He had absolutely no intention of returning to the rescue.
As for the people of island nations, it's already a sign of peace-loving that I don't sink their ships. As for your ships sinking in the storm?
What does this have to do with me?
I'm just an ordinary person passing by.
The direction was corrected, and the speed surged again.
Target – Florida!
……
Meanwhile, in Florida.
In a simple office.
Cheng Yong was completely unaware that his life was already on a countdown.
He is planning a great undertaking!
Form a religious sect!
The members were naturally the underground world of the city he had just unified.
In fact, this was the first time these gang members had done something legal...
After all, in the United States, while tax evasion is illegal, establishing a religion is perfectly legal!
It emphasizes freedom of belief.
Cheng Yong summoned all his gang members.
"pope."
The three bosses of the three major gangs pushed open the door and walked in, their faces full of respect as if they were looking at a god on earth!
"Everyone has been gathered and is waiting for you."
"Mm." Cheng Yong nodded, stood up, and walked outside. "Let's go, let the world...hear the divine oracle."
He appeared calm, but the fervor in his eyes seemed about to burst forth!
That's right!
Not long ago, after connecting with Xu Yuan, his superpowers "broke through" again!
He finally heard the voice clearly!
Since that live stream with Xu Yuan, the whispers in his mind have become clearer than ever before, as if some supreme will is personally reveling in his ear.
[The end is nigh; only by purifying the world with the flames of "change" can a new life be ushered in!]
At that time, not only will I become stronger, but I will also be able to save the world from the apocalypse!
I am the chosen one, the savior of destiny! I am the one and only Pope in the end times!
As for Xu Yuan and Bei Wei?
He no longer cares about it.
In truth, I owe my current success to these two people.
A sinister smile appeared on Cheng Yong's lips.
When one day in the future, the Reformation Church will be spread throughout the world, and people will humbly kneel at its throne, begging for mercy.
Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I can even say thank you to him...
