Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

"A ship was destroyed..."

The Flesh Mage frowned, gazing deep into the Navy Research Base.

In order to safely enter the Blade Witch's ruins and obtain her treasures, they needed the help of the Flower Witch, the key named 'Witch'!

The Flower Witch was an essential key, and Black Hunter was the person Aunt Carol specifically asked for!

Both Black Hunter and the Flower Witch could be incapacitated, but neither could die!

The Flesh Mage inquired:

"Who was on that ship? Were there a Witch and a Hunter?"

"Sorry, my lord, our radar signals and intelligence have not yet been able to determine that."

The Flesh Mage muttered:

"Never mind, their luck shouldn't be so bad as to encounter that dragon..."

As the Commander of this operation, the Flesh Mage started pacing back and forth on deck.

Then, he spoke slowly, issuing commands:

"If one exploration ship was devoured, then it means the Black Light Dragon has consumed at least fifty second-order Transcendents, along with a bunch of Transcendent Spiritual Power items!

Even if it's a natural disaster, it should be full by now, and quite content!"

A perfect opportunity!

The Flesh Mage stroked his chin.

According to the information he had so far, the reason Black Whale Group's ships dared not make a move was not only the mysterious Blue Beast at the Navy Research Base, but also that terrifying Black Light Dragon.

And now, freshly fed, the dragon's appetite must have diminished tremendously! It definitely needed to digest!

It was the perfect moment to organize the transport ships to return all data, weapons, and captured Sea Beasts obtained from the Navy Research Base.

The Flesh Mage commanded loudly:

"Black Lantern seven, Black Lantern eight, and nine, obey my command! In five minutes, immediately sail through the Mutated Sea and return home!

At the same time, eleven, the salvage ship, immediately head to the center of the Mutated Sea and retrieve the wreckage of the Blood Blade Pirate Group! Try to recover all equipment completely!"

"Then, set the Lighthouse to high brightness, Black Shark one and two in charge of combat, one warship was destroyed, other exploration ships receiving the signal will inevitably go to investigate, when they do, we will ambush them, launching a great sea battle!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

Accompanied by synchronized footsteps, the roar of engines began to sound.

What a huge harvest... The Flesh Mage revealed a delighted smile, mimicking Carol, sat on the couch, rolled up his pants leg, leaned back, enjoyed a glass of red wine, embraced a beauty he had captured, kissed her, savoring the moment.

Aunt Carol truly is Aunt Carol!

In these seas, the Blood Blade Pirate Group were their toys, their weapons, purely consumables for their Black Whale Group.

Everything was going according to plan!

Now, it was time to reap!

The treasures of the Blood Blade Pirate Group, Black Hunter, and Miss Witch, and the treasures of the Navy Research Base, all belonged to them.

The mission was truly simple. Other than that Blue Beast, this sea area posed no threat... The Flesh Mage drank down his red wine, enjoying the wonderful sound of the ship's engines.

"Ah!!!"

However, the next moment, suddenly from afar, came the agonizing screams of the crew.

"Damn it! Who is screaming?"

The Flesh Mage turned his head, looking towards the Black Whale Group's naval vessels heading out to battle.

But then, a strong gust of blood wind, like a giant titan, heavily pressed down upon him, making it momentarily impossible for him to open his eyes.

The sound of the waves grew louder!

Why was it so dark ahead? Why was there so much fog?

Slowly, the Flesh Mage raised his head, and above their newly erected Lighthouse, there hung a lantern, a lantern constantly suspended in the air.

His mind lost all reason in an instant, leaving only one question, a simple question:

Now, could the Navy Research Base's fleet of warships defeat the Black Light Dragon?
