Deep in the Atlantis Ocean.
"From here on, the storm begins to intensify," said High Priest Larrycos, standing on the deck and pointing at the increasingly heavy clouds overhead.
"Why are you standing here?" Sigrdrifa asked curiously beside him.
Larrycos: ???
"Otherwise, where should I be?" the Naga Priest retorted.
"In the water," Sigrdrifa replied matter-of-factly. "Aren't you a Naga?"
Just because I'm a Naga I have to stay in the water? What kind of logic is that? Larrycos didn't know how to refute this at the moment.
"Sigrdrifa, don't be rude," Aske interrupted. "We've already entered the storm region; the water flow below is turbulent. How can you ask him to go into the water?"
The squad leader was reasonable. Larrycos immediately nodded continuously.
"But he's a demigod of the Naga Clan!" Sigrdrifa was still not convinced after the criticism and argued, "Would a demigod fear the turbulent ocean currents?"
Larrycos: .........
Fear? Not exactly. But when I can stand on the deck, why should I go down into the sea to fight with the currents? Why indeed? Why?
Unable to think of a rebuttal, he could only cast a pleading gaze toward Aske, hoping the leader could help him out of this predicament.
"Sigrdrifa, what level are you now?" Aske asked pleasantly. "Lv.15, is it? Is there anyone in the team with a lower level than yours? No? Then why aren't you rushing to level up?"
Larrycos slightly opened his mouth, feeling he could no longer understand human logic.
Sigrdrifa sulkily returned to Fire Island, giving Larrycos a resentful glare as she left.
"Sorry," Aske said to the Naga Priest.
"Your team member is energetic," Larrycos replied with a smile, obviously not taking offense.
"Honestly, I'd be delighted if they could give me a little peace," Aske showed an expression of "Oh, I'm really at a loss with them."
Larrycos fell silent.
To be honest, I'm not familiar with the other girls, but that "Time Weaving" one... She's not someone who sticks to the rules, but I'm sure when she causes trouble, you'll definitely won't know about it.
"In that case, I must fulfill my promise now." Saying so, Larrycos tied himself to the rail with a rope and then leaped into the sea.
Water Flow Sensing.
This is a Sequential Ability of the Naga bloodline. Combined with Larrycos' own Law Skills, he can read the traces of destiny from the water flow.
For example, previously at the bottom of the pool in the Vanizi Volcano, he used the pool water to create a map of the Atlantis Ocean, showcasing the location of the Beast with an Endless Stomach and other Leviathans to Aske.
Now, since the Beast with an Endless Stomach has been banished to the future by demigod Miel, Larrycos can bypass its original position and continue sensing the western ocean, trying to map out the water flow in the storm region deep within the Atlantis Ocean.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, three hundred meters... As the detection radius gradually expanded, the speed at which the distance increased also began to slow down. Yet, so far, what was sensed was nothing but water flow; no huge underwater creatures, special terrain, or islands existed.
...
After probing in the heavy rain for over a month, Larrycos became somewhat impatient. He climbed back onto the deck to find Aske and said:
"Lord Aske. May I ask a presumptuous question? Are you really sure your target is deep within this storm?"
"What do you mean?"
"We've been probing for over a month," Larrycos carefully chose his words, "Haven't we detected almost ten thousand square kilometers of ocean area by now? Indeed, no island has been found."
"Could it be some Extraordinary Power is blocking your sensing detection?" Aske asked.
"If such a power exists, then I'm afraid I can't be of help to you," Larrycos replied.
Aske: .........
"Indeed," Aske said troubledly, then went back to the cabin to call out Miel and Peggy.
"The situation we're facing now is that we haven't found the target's presence in the nearby ocean area." Aske explained to them, "There might be a possibility that simple water flow sensing can't detect the target, so we need to adopt more scouting methods."
"Okay," the two demigod girls responded in unison.
Then Peggy started to activate the Memory Salvage skill to search the nearby Subconscious Ocean; Miel rapidly activated the Destiny ability to make everyone's fate inclined towards quickly encountering the target.
The ship tossed in the storm for another week. Accompanied by continuous spiritual output, Miel finally sensed that the Destiny skill had been completed.
"Squad Leader! Squad Leader!" she exclaimed joyfully as she went to find Aske. "My Destiny is finally completed! Now, as long as Lord Larrycos goes into the sea to probe, we will soon find the target!"
Larrycos: ???
He was half skeptical about the mysterious effects of the Destiny skill. However, considering it was from the younger version of the "Time Weaving" boss, he couldn't entirely dismiss its possibility.
Thus, he tied himself with the rope again and leaped into the turbulent currents, activating his Water Flow Sensing ability in the storm.
Hmm...
Hmm........
Hmm..........
The sensing range extended to seven hundred meters, but there was still nothing there!
Suddenly, Larrycos noticed something was amiss at a particular spot.
Precisely speaking, there was no island present, but the water flow at its position was abnormal: For a certain period, seawater constantly poured into that position and disappeared; after a while, seawater constantly came out from there.
It was as if an invisible pocket was swallowing and spitting.
So, Larrycos tugged on the rope and climbed back onto the deck, indicating a general direction and said:
"Proceed about 840 meters in that direction."
"Alright!" And then Peggy went into the cabin.
Soon the ship turned towards the position Larrycos indicated and sailed over.
After sailing 800+ meters, the ship dropped anchor again, swaying endlessly in the giant waves stirred up by the storm.
Everyone had come out from Fire Island, braving the heavy rain and gathered on the deck. Sigrdrifa summoned a Thunderbird using Navian Bone Tooth, commanding it to fly straight forward.
After the Thunderbird flew a distance, it suddenly vanished.
"Connection is still there; I'll call it back," Sigrdrifa said. After a while, everyone saw the Thunderbird reappear, much like Mia's Ripple Sword flash.
"Yes, I sensed it too," Mia pointed ahead somewhat surprised. "There, there's a portal leading to another dimension!"
"Oh oh oh oh!" The girls immediately rubbed their fists eagerly, wanting to dive in and explore immediately.
"Since we've found the target, I'll no longer stay here," seeing Aske throw him a glance, Larrycos tactfully bid farewell.
"Alright, the current is quite swift on the way back, please be careful," Aske nodded and said.
Larrycos nodded and jumped off the rail into the ocean, quickly swimming away towards the East.
