Chapter 595 I Curse You
The huge white-bone octopus surrounded the terrifying tentacles, waving their skeleton-like tentacles and constantly hitting the sea surface.
As the sea water gushed out, countless small white-bone octopuses emerged densely on the sea surface.
The entire sea surface seemed to have turned into a sea of bones.

36 giant tentacles were constantly twisting on the sea surface, with huge suction cups densely distributed on the tentacles, and the suction cups were covered with bony barbs.
These barbs shrink and contract as the suction cup opens and closes, making them look hideous and terrifying.
The tentacles twisted wildly, causing huge waves on the sea.
The waves surged and the Blue Whale floated up and down on the sea. Qi Ge grabbed the rudder and tried to stand firm, but his whole body was still swaying back and forth as if he was thrown into a washing machine.
Sylvia looked at the group of white-bone octopuses and the thirty-six huge tentacles on the sea surface and asked excitedly:
"Where is the North Sea Monster? Where is the North Sea Monster?
Why are there only little octopuses?
Are those huge tentacles of Qi Ge the North Sea monster?
Could it be that the North Sea Monster is under the sea?"
"Yes and no."
"Bang!"
At this moment, the violent wind and waves blew open the windows of the captain's room with cold and smelly mist.
The strong wind blew into the captain's room. Qi Ge held down his hood which was about to be blown away by the wind and answered loudly:
“Those tentacles are indeed those of the North Sea Monster, but its body is not on this battlefield.
Defeating those tentacles will not have any effect on the North Sea Demon.
The North Sea Monster can generate a large number of tentacles at any location in the Desolate North Sea.
As long as the Desolate North Sea is drawn into a battle, no matter it is a large battlefield or a combat space, these tentacles will appear.
The tentacles of the North Sea Monster have two ways of attacking.
One is to randomly swing towards the surrounding sea surface, with an attack range of 5*20.
Being hit by the tentacles once will cause extremely high damage of 3000 to 6000.
Second, after a two-round delay, all enemy units within the 5*5 area around the tentacles will be wrapped up.
If you are unfortunate enough to be caught by the tentacles, you will be dragged into the Desolate North Sea. There is no possibility of survival and the death effect will be triggered directly.
Even with instant death resistance, you will still take up to 20,000 points of damage.
Fortunately, these tentacles will disappear after attacking once, and reappear at a random location on the battlefield after 3 rounds."
"Wow, that's amazing."
Sylvia said in surprise:
"The North Sea Monster's true form isn't here. How can we harm it?"
"There is no way."
Qi Ge explained:
"Either we use various methods to lure the North Sea demon out of the Desolate North Sea, or we kill it in the center of the Desolate North Sea to see its true form."
"Then kill them!"
Sylvia's eyes fixed!
"No matter how powerful the North Sea demon is, it can't be stronger than the Blue Whale!"
“Buzz!!”
The shadow of the Whale King appeared in the captain's room. It had sharp eyes, a stern face, and the scar on its eye made it look murderous.
Qi Ge pointed to the sea and said:
“Don’t be careless.
These white-bone octopuses are the most common minions of the North Sea octopus monster. They have mediocre attributes but very disgusting special skills.
The skeleton octopuses they summon will turn into bones after death and wrap around soldiers and ships, layer by layer, until the enemy is completely unable to move.
Losing the ability to move in a battlefield filled with giant tentacles is tantamount to waiting to die.
I'm not worried about being hit, the Blue Whale's high damage reduction is enough to withstand it, but if I get caught in the tentacles, even the Blue Whale can't withstand it."
As Qi Ge was talking, he noticed that there was no sound around him.
His heart tightened and he quickly turned around to look.
Sylvia's eyes were glowing with a faint blue light, and his whole body was floating in the air. The miniature shadow of the Whale King was circling around Sylvia's head, as if it had entered a state of resonance.
Fuck! You didn't even listen to me!
Beep! Buzz! Buzz!
Three consecutive cries were heard from the hull of the Blue Whale, and the huge shadow of the Whale King merged into one with the Blue Whale.
This is a turn-based battle without a God's perspective, but even in the captain's room, Qi Ge knew what the Blue Whale wanted to do.
"Hiss! He starts off with a powerful attack. Sylvia is still so ferocious."
Qi Ge had just finished expressing his feelings when the shadow of the Whale King appeared on the thirty-six tentacles of the North Sea Monster on the sea!
Thirty-six whale calls echoed in the sea at the same time, and the Blue Whale suddenly accelerated from the sea surface!
"boom!!!"
A sonic boom sounded, and the ice-blue sea water was pumped up by the power of the Blue Whale, and a giant whale made of sea water rose above the sea.
The Blue Whale was wrapped in a giant whale, and whale calls could be heard constantly from the hull!
Contrary to human impression, whales’ voices have not only a wide range but also a wide variety of tones.
The whale king of the Blue Whale can make hundreds of sounds.
There were the sounds of wild beasts, the bleating of sheep, the chirping of birds, the screams of women, the groans of patients, the crying of babies, the sound of hinges, bells, whistles, and all kinds of things.
These sounds combine in an orderly manner to form a moving and deadly whale song.
The Blue Whale needs to charge for a round before it can use its ultimate move, and then it is the opponent's turn to act.
Hundreds of teams of white-bone octopuses summoned [Skeleton Octopus] together, making the already crowded sea surface look even more terrifying.
The thirty-six tentacles on the sea surface began to move, some slapping the sea surface, and some rolling around.
Even the White Bone Octopus and the Skeleton Octopus were unable to dodge the indiscriminate attacks of the tentacles, and they were all beaten into bone powder on the sea surface.
For a moment, the entire battlefield was filled with roars.
Along with the roar, the sea surface began to fluctuate violently again, and waves of tsunamis spread in all directions with the tentacles as the center.
These tsunamis also have damaging terrain effects.
If the warship is not strong enough, it will not be able to withstand the aftermath of the tsunami.
But for the Blue Whale, which has already activated its ultimate skill, all these terrain effects can be ignored.
[Sky Whale Descends: After activation, it becomes a water elemental Sky Whale, immune to terrain effects, weather effects, and control effects. It can only be used in the sea.]
Because the Blue Whale was far away from the tentacles, these tentacles failed to attack the Blue Whale.
All the octopus operations are completed, and now it's the Blue Whale's turn.
Sylvia woke up from the resonance state, and she asked Qi Ge confidently:
"First mate, I'll go right ahead! Is that ok?"
The seven pigeons complained bitterly:
"No, no, no, my good Captain.
I know you want to just break all the tentacles, but that would be bad.
Whenever one of its tentacles was broken, the North Sea Monster would immediately replenish two.
We have to go around them, otherwise there will be more and more tentacles in the battle space until there is nowhere to hide."
Sylvia licked his lips and said excitedly:
“That’s not necessarily true.
First mate, you are responsible for providing intelligence. The Blue Whale and I will decide how to fight!
Blue Whale, resonance activated!!!"
Sylvia instantly entered a state of resonance, the giant water whale roared to the sky, swung its tail, and suddenly rushed out!
What does it mean to destroy the world and what does it mean to be the overlord of the sea?
The Blue Whale is it!
As a second-awakened ship spirit warship, the Silver Spirit not only has the function of a solid combat fortress, but also possesses powerful weapons such as the Fairy Spirit Heavy Artillery.
But the Blue Whale is a battleship designed purely for combat!
Even Qi Ge had to admit that if we only considered combat effectiveness, the Blue Whale could defeat all ten Silver Spirits together.
The giant water elemental whale glides across the sea at a high speed. Every time it moves, it absorbs the surrounding sea water, becoming larger and larger, and its speed becomes faster and faster!
The gigantic whale king attached himself to the giant water element whale and sang loudly!
A melodious whale cry echoed in the battle space, and before the lingering sound faded away, thirty-six tentacles exploded one after another under the impact of the Blue Whale!
The Blue Whale, which can freely control its moving path, can accurately blow up all the tentacles under the control of the Whale King and Sylvia!
The white bone octopuses and [skeleton octopuses] gathered under the tentacles were swept away by the aftermath of the Blue Whale's charge!
The Blue Whale wiped out every corner and any big or small, including tentacles and troops.
“Buzz!!”
When the Whale King stopped charging, the Blue Whale was already surrounded by dense skeletons.
These white-boned octopus tentacles are entangled with each other, forming a heavy shell that adheres to every wooden board of the Blue Whale.
However, before they could take effect, they began to disappear into gray powder.
Qi Ge, who was dizzy from being shaken in the captain's room, leaned on the windowsill and looked out.
Before the newly formed tentacles of the North Sea octopus monster had time to grow out, the octopus corpses and broken tentacles on the entire battlefield were slowly disappearing.
Even this battle space has begun to dissipate.
Sylvia slowly released the resonance and smiled at Qi Ge:
"Look, it will be no problem if we kill all the tentacles and the skeleton octopuses.
Since the North Sea Octopus Monster's true form is not here, we can end the battle early by killing all the white-bone octopuses."
As the battle space disappeared, the dark clouds caused by the appearance of the North Sea demon's tentacles were slowly dissipating.
Sylvia's cheerful smile was particularly dazzling in the gradually brightening sky.
Qi Ge laughed bitterly:
"You used your ultimate skill to kill a small monster, what should we do when the North Sea Monster appears next?"
"Ha ha."
Sylvia laughed nonchalantly.
“We’ll talk about what’s happening later.
The ultimate skill is meant to be used, so it’s better to use it early and the cooldown will be early.
There is no word "retreat" in our pirate dictionary."
"Yeah?"
Qi Ge smiled bitterly and pointed to the sea.
On the sea in the distance, lines of sea level made up of octopuses are constantly coming from all directions.
"Mud pot octopus, white bone octopus, hundred-clawed octopus...
This is the Desolate North Sea, the territory of the North Sea demon.
We killed its tentacles and offspring, it's going to go crazy."
Sylvia blinked and said immediately:
"Pirates don't want to suffer a loss right now, first mate, let's retreat!"
"Didn't you say there is no retreat?"
"This is called a strategic maneuver!!"
…
…
On the Desolate North Sea, Qi Ge and Sylvia were fighting fiercely with the descendants of the North Sea Demon.
And in distant Erathia, the scene was equally bustling.
During this period, major events continued to occur in Erathia.
Sir Mlak returns, Sosa returns, Kendall joins, Edric joins, Cattleya and Christine get engaged...
One event after another pushed Queen Catherine's reputation to its peak.
Because of this, the bishops and attempted to rebel were quickly suppressed by Catherine.
They were disarmed one by one, taken to Yunxia Square, and lined up for execution.
Li Xiaobai held the Griffin Heart Sword and knelt in front of Catherine with Alexandre.
Catherine inserted the Griffinheart Sword into the scabbard she had seized from the Griffin King.
When the Griffin Heart Sword was combined with its scabbard, the combined treasure, the True Griffin Heart Blade, shone brightly under the angel statue of the Holy Sky City.
The residents who were watching, under the illumination of the True Griffin Heart Blade, felt immense courage in their hearts.
They knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Catherine again and again.
What they knelt down to worship was not only the throne of Erathia , but also the countless sages who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for humanity.
Catherine held up the treasure that symbolized the highest royal power of mankind. She held the Griffin Heart Blade high in the air and announced to a row of corrupt officials and bishops:
“As the leaders and managers of Erathia, you do not work for the welfare of mankind, nor do you devote your energy to Erathia. Instead, you devote your limited lives to oppressing, exploiting, and bullying the people.
You shamelessly take for yourselves the wealth accumulated by the people through frugality and hard work, and use this wealth to consolidate your power and continue to oppress the good.
In the name of the church and the country, you occupied resources and minerals, turned all the land, equipment and buildings in Erathia into your private property, and used these properties to squander and enjoy yourself.
What you have done is worse than robbers who commit murder and arson.
Under your exploitation, civilians are impoverished, the army is disorganized and undisciplined, and all industries are in decline.
You are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve to be put to death!
I, Katherine Griffin Hart, in the name of Lord Erathia, King of Mankind, declare that you are sentenced to death, to be executed immediately!
Those who were tied and kneeling on the ground were either masters or legends, and at worst they were high-level soldiers.
From the lord of the main city to the high-level officials of Shengtian City, there is everything.
They can even be said to be the main combat force and management core of Erathia.
If these people are executed, Erathia's overall national strength will decline rapidly, and Erathia will inevitably fall into a dangerous situation of a ruling class gap.
They rely on this point and are always fearless.
But at this moment, they realized that Catherine's determination was far stronger than they had imagined.
Then, one after another, they shouted:
"Your Majesty, please spare me, I was just confused for a moment.
I have guarded the borders for Erathia and slain demons in holy wars.
I am not guilty of death."
"Catherine! How dare you do such a perverse thing! Do you want Erathia to perish?"
"Your Majesty, I am Uncle Moranton, the captain of your father's guard. I held you in my arms when you were a child. Your Majesty, you cannot kill me."
"It was not me who did it, it was Pope Ronaldius who instructed me to do it.
I was also forced into this situation.”
"Catherine, you have no right to judge me. I belong to the Holy Heavenly Church, I belong to the angels, I have immunity, only the angels and the Inquisition are qualified to judge me."
For a while, people were begging for mercy, threatening, asking for mercy, and confessing...
When these more than one hundred high-ranking officials and church leaders were facing death, the desire to survive they displayed was no less than that of the civilians they could kill at will.
But Catherine was not moved at all. She swung down the Griffin Heart Sword in her hand without hesitation and said loudly:
"The time has come, execution!"
Ten of the thirteen Holy Sword Round Table Queen's Guards behind Catherine stood up.
They walked up to the heroes and soldiers who were screaming, roaring and struggling.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…”
The sword flashed ten times, and they raised their swords and swung them down, and with one sword, a head fell to the ground.
The so-called legends, the so-called bishops, the so-called superior men, when their heads are chopped off, they are no different from ordinary humans.
The blood they sprayed out was also red, but it couldn't go much farther than that of ordinary people.
After killing more than a hundred senior officials, the next to be killed were their families.
From wife and brothers to grandfather and great-great-grandson (five generations), all those who have committed crimes worthy of death will not be spared.
Originally, Catherine didn't want to kill so many.
But when the members of the Sisters of Silence placed in front of Catherine the evidence that Adela had secretly collected, which filled the entire room, she realized how evil these bishops and corrupt officials were.
They used their almost unlimited power to help countless of their relatives and friends gain even more unlimited power.
They are even capable of doing things like embezzling and monopolizing hero orders.
Unrestricted power will inevitably lead to unlimited corruption.
Almost every one of those bishops' families deserves to die a hundred times.
There was a national treasurer named Gerhabo. Among his twelve sons, even the one with the least serious crime raped sixteen women.
Ten of them were other people's wives, and three of them committed suicide after being humiliated and unable to take revenge.
First there were more than a hundred corrupt officials and bishops, and then there were more than three thousand family members.
Row after row of corpses fell, and row after row of criminals were pressed up.
For every person killed, there would be an officer standing next to him, reading out their sins one by one.
The longest one took the reader half an hour to finish reading.
The people of Shengtian City who were watching the scene went from cheering and shouting to tears and then to numbness.
Only then did they realize why their lives were so hard.
How could life not be hard when being oppressed by these people?
Catherine spent most of the day killing people. The red blood covered the entire execution platform, and the sticky blood even covered the insteps of the Holy Sword Round Table Queen's Guards.
Finally, all those who should be killed were killed, leaving only the last big fish.
Inheim had his hands tied and was escorted step by step by Luo Shi and Mlak to the bloody execution platform.
He was the only one among those executed today who was a true legend known throughout Erathia.
The announcer held up the evidence in his hand and read aloud:
“Inheim, the legendary hero.
The sins are as follows.
1. Persecution, designed to turn a total of 249,856 humans into pilgrims.
Equivalent to killing 249,856 humans.
2. To condone, instigate, and teach subordinates to engage in corruption, accept bribes, and plunder.
The total amount involved is at least 157 million gold coins.
three……"
Inheim raised his head as the announcer read out the order.
"Hahaha, great! That's great!"
He looked at Catherine and shouted as if he was out of his mind:
"Catherine, you can kill me, but can you kill the selfish desires in our human hearts?
You are aloof!
You, Mlak, Sousa, and the people around you are all doing this for humanity, without any selfish motives.
But what about your next generation? What about Mrak's next generation? What about Sousa's next generation? !
If in the future your son wants to enjoy himself, wants to get something for nothing, wants to exploit the people, will you kill him too?
You can take care of your son, you can take care of your grandson, but who will take care of them after you die?
Even the descendants of King Kalben produced someone like Roland, so how much better can your Reinhart family be?
Now that power has fallen into your hands, can your descendants be as selfless as you are for the sake of humanity?
Now, the descendants of the legendary heroes of Erathia can all be trained in the Imperial Royal Academy unconditionally, but commoners like me have difficulty even having enough to eat.
When I was almost starving to death and had to look for grass roots in the snow, Catherine, you were being taught horse riding by King Griffin.
While I was crawling on the streets of the main city, Catherine, you were bathing in a comfortable bath.
While I was studying doctrine day and night just to stay in the monastery, you, Catherine, were having a love affair with Gru.
Catherine, you killed all of us.
You say you are doing this for what you call fairness, then tell me, where is the fairness we deserve?
We are both human beings, but because of our different family surnames, you have tasted the sweetness that fate has brought you, and I have tasted the bitterness that fate has brought me.
To achieve the same result, I have to work a hundred times harder.
But now, you are standing on the platform with a sword in your hand, judging me from above.
Are you very impressive now?
Where were you when my parents were being torn to death by hellhounds?
Where were you when my sister was raped by a horned demon?
Human justice and fairness are bullshit! The human race is inferior and should all die! They should all become pilgrims and be eaten by angels!
After I die, I will curse you in hell.
I curse your descendants to end up like me. I curse your descendants to once again become scum and villains who exploit the poor.
I will wait patiently until the time comes to laugh at you."
Inheim seemed to be crazy. He stretched out his hand and shouted in despair:
"Just wait, that day will surely come."
Inheim's crazy words reached the ears of the people around him. The numb people immediately raised their heads and looked at Catherine.
Catherine drew out the True Griffin Heart Blade and walked towards Inheim step by step.
She said in a deep voice:
"You feel you have been treated unfairly, and so do I.
I draw this sword to redress this injustice.
However, injustice is not an excuse for you to harm others.
Because you have suffered, you should bring more suffering to more people?
Because your life is difficult, after you gain power, you persecute hundreds of thousands of people and cause them to lose their lives?
Your sins cannot be explained by your background!
As for our future generations, you don't have to worry about it.
If the Geffen Hart family falls, and I can't do anything about it, there will surely be another me among humans who will step up and do it.
If I cannot burn away all the sins of mankind this time, someone else will do it again in the future."
Catherine walked up to Inheim and said loudly:
"But this has nothing to do with you, sinner!"
She thrust the sword into Inheim's heart, and Inheim's pupils shrank as he slowly fell down.
Until the moment he fell, he was still murmuring:
"I curse you, I curse you all."
