Chapter 342: Domain Unleashed, D20!
Under the moonlight, blood-red waves continuously crashed against the shores of Devil Island.
Accompanied by pitch-black thunderbolts, powerful Blade energy surged forth. Just as this power reached its peak, an unprecedented giant ship tore through space, emerging from the dimensional rift gate!
The fierce battlefield, after a brief moment of silence, instantly erupted into chaos.
After shock came boundless fear!
"Damn! What is that!"
"Reinforcements called by the Black Death Doctor!"
"Sea Goddess! Which organization's giant ship is this!"
"Ice Witch protect me! I never want to participate in war again!"
On the battlefield, even the fiercely battling pirates and navy soldiers stopped their actions, looking up to stare at this colossal warship!
It stood a hundred meters tall, with an astonishing five-hundred-meter-long hull covered in countless blades and white bones, like a Titan war giant studded with swords all over its body!Even the massive Great Shark Battleship appeared tiny in comparison.
"Black Blood Empire..."
Little Crow said in terror.
This kind of blade-constructed giant ship was a typical Black Blood Empire warship!
But why would a Black Blood Empire warship appear here?
After all, between the territories of the Black Blood Empire and Beiguo lay the vast expanse of the Goldenfinch Kingdom!
"Blood General..."
Fen adjusted her witch hat, looking up toward the ship's bow.
At the prow stood a general clad in a blood-red cape, black mist shrouding his figure, making his build and appearance extremely difficult to discern.
The only thing visible was a pair of sharp blood-red eyes, calmly gazing at this sea shrouded in night, like a hungry wolf examining lambs on a chopping block.
Last time, Fen and Chen Qi had seen this ship, but due to its special construction materials, it couldn't successfully use Stealth under the pale sky's illumination.
But now, in the middle of the night, this Black Blood Empire giant ship could fully display its might!
The blood-colored figure at the bow slowly raised his hand, extending an index finger to point at Palu running wildly across the sea.
"Kill."
Instantly, amid the roar of steam, Black Blood Empire soldiers leaped down from high above, forming ranks and charging toward Devil Island with synchronized steps!
Palu accelerated, making a great leap onto the island, anxiously asking:
"Did you get the Witch Relic of the Cup?"
Chen Qi patted the bag at his waist, calmly replying:
"It's already done."
Thank goodness! As expected of you! Palu let out a long sigh of relief, smiling wryly:
"Mission accomplished."
Their objective for this trip was only the Witch Relic of the Cup. As long as they obtained the relic, everything was worth it!
Palu looked back at the approaching colossal waves, worriedly saying:
"However, to retreat smoothly, we still have a small trouble to resolve..."
Chen Qi spun the dice in his hand.
For them, escaping wasn't difficult. The real key was intercepting the Blood General's ship.
Chen Qi asked:
"Palu, need help? You want to make a move, right."
Make a move, now? Fen sprouted a surprised flower on her head.
Little Crow stood among the three legends, not daring to say a word.
How did you know I wanted to make a move... Palu looked at Chen Qi with some surprise, then smiled slightly:
"Yes."
As expected... Chen Qi said calmly:
"I'll support you."
As one of the Four Emperors, Palu's strength approached the peak of legendary status.
Whether it was the 'Twenty-Sided Dice Judgment' at the moment of death, various Dice affinity Releases, or transformation skills, he had mastered them all perfectly.
Of course, due to the roleplaying required during 'transformation,' Palu often couldn't display his true strength most of the time.
Additionally, Palu himself had already touched upon domain, completing its construction!
Chen Qi looked up. A dimensional rift like an abyss continuously emitted Dice affinity aura.
Rifts were precursors to domains. This meant the Sea Emperor of the Ice Demon Pirates was about to deploy his Dice affinity domain over these waters!
On the Devil Doctor ship, the Black Death Doctor emerged from the cabin, standing at the bow and shouting:
"Blood General! As agreed, stop him! Otherwise, you'll face a monster's Dice affinity domain!"
The Blood General crooked his index finger, saying:
"Fire cannons."
The Black Prison ship's turrets rotated violently, preparing to fire!
Boom! Boom!
"Fire your mother's cannons!!"
In the distance, the Great Shark Battleship's steam turrets rose, hundreds of heavy artillery shells raining down like precipitation, bombarding the Black Prison ship.
The Black Blood soldiers pursuing Palu also halted their chase under the artillery barrage.
Chen Qi turned his head.
He saw the Great Shark Battleship slowly entering the battlefield from Devil Island's side. Standing on the Storm King mecha were the navy's two legends - Tiger Shark General and Disaster Messenger - glaring at the Blood General on the Black Prison ship with furious expressions.
Chen Qi had dealt with the Blood Demon Doctor and the Dragon Tamer King. The navy, preserving most of its strength, had joined the battle!
Disaster Messenger Rose bit her finger.
A Black Blood Empire ship actually dared to enter Beiguo's waters and attack Beiguo's navy!
Even the Book Tower, which had long coveted the Witch Sea's resources, only stayed at the border, sending White Tower Hunters to interfere in Witch Sea affairs!
But the Black Blood Empire dared to directly dispatch warships to confront the Witch Sea, and the faction they were helping was the navy's great enemy, the Blackfin Crew!
Openly funding a pirate crew!
This was no longer a provocation against Beiguo - it was a declaration of war!
Tiger Shark General stood at the bow, roaring:
"Scum of the Black Blood Empire, this is Beiguo's territory! You are declaring war on the Land of Shells and Hammers! Take one more step forward, and your ships will turn to dust! You will pay a painful price!"
His furious voice directly pierced through the sea!
The Blood General in the black mist looked at the roaring Tiger Shark General, answering in an icy voice:
"Our Black Blood Empire's disaster department has detected the arrival of an A-grade dimensional rift. Beiguo lacks the capability to contain an A-grade Blade affinity rift.
In this world, all Blade affinity rifts belong to the Black Blood Empire, all are Black Blood Empire resources. We came here only to reclaim our rightful territory."
Shameless, utterly shameless... Tiger Shark General picked up the Whale-Hunting Spear, his arms suddenly swelling!
He would use Blade Release to make the Black Blood Empire forces pay the price they deserved!
However, a blood-colored wound inexplicably appeared on his neck.
The blood-colored figure in the mist slowly slid his index finger.
As his finger moved, a fresh wound suddenly appeared on Tiger Shark General's steel-hard neck!
Drip! Drip!
[You have entered the Blood General's domain - Blood Blade Domain.]
Tiger Shark General felt a painful buzzing in his mind, clutching his neck:
"Damn it, this ship's power has already touched space itself, activating a domain!"
Whether one mastered a domain was a chasm between legends.
The blood-colored figure in the mist, like a musical conductor, whispered:
"Dance of the Hand Blade."
With each of his movements, Blade affinity aura violently condensed, slashing everything within sight!
Slash!
Slashing attacks continuously appeared out of thin air, so fast it was astonishing, almost cutting through a thirty-meter warship in the blink of an eye.
As his wrist lightly flicked, blood-colored trajectories continuously sliced through the air, countless extremely sharp blade slashes violently descended!
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the Great Shark Battleship was actually cut with a hundred-meter gash by his single strike, steel and fragments spraying everywhere, brilliant yet brief like fireworks.
Seawater rapidly flooded the broken hull, soldiers' cries of shock and despair swallowed by giant waves, leaving only deathly silence and chaos.
This single strike shocked everyone present!
However, the Blood General didn't stop. His blades wandered like death itself, weaving through the warships. Each swing was accompanied by a ship's sinking and lives extinguishing.
Where the blade slashes passed, the seawater turned dark red, the air thick with the heavy smell of blood, suffocating everyone.
In mere moments, the navy soldiers fighting on the front lines fell like straw!
And all this had taken only thirty seconds!
One legend could instantly change the battlefield's direction, while one legend mastering Release could directly determine the battle's outcome!
The huge advantage Chen Qi had established instantly crumbled!
Across the sea and island, wails of despair echoed.
Blood Blade Domain... Chen Qi observed the surrounding aura while sprinting across the sea.
Within the space they currently occupied, Blade energy unique to the Blood General continuously spawned and condensed.
And each condensation resulted in a slashing attack!
This was domain - completely altering a space's ecology, even its rules, achieving absolute domination.
One legend mastering domain could even suppress three legends.
If possessing domain relics, within the domain, legends could even display terrifying power like moving mountains and draining seas, similar to Saints!
Disaster Messenger Rose held her staff, watching the scene before her.
Her domain was recreating recorded disasters - typical indiscriminate attacks!
However, that Blood Blade warship's defensive power surpassed the Great Shark Battleship by several times!
When disaster struck, the ones surviving might be the Black Blood Empire ships.
"What should I do?"
Disaster Messenger Rose fell into hesitation.
Drip! Drip!
Suddenly, a dice fell from the sky, landing in the hollow of her collarbone, continuously spinning.
What's this? Disaster Messenger Rose looked up at the sky. The dice dimensional rift was growing larger.
At this moment, the Black Death Doctor stood on his ship, watching Chen Qi and Palu sprinting across the sea.
And the Flower Witch and Little Crow on shore!
Thank goodness, Little Crow was only kidnapped... The Black Death Doctor roared with all his might:
"Blood General, they've set up a sea ritual! To release their domain, you must stop them!"
"Also, don't harm the black-haired researcher on shore! She's a genius from our research institute! The Blood Demon Doctor's successor!"
"Don't kill the Black Hunter! Don't kill the Witch! They're beings favored by the Great Whale! Monsters our Blackfin Crew values!"
"Palu must die! The Hunter and Witch absolutely cannot die!"
"Kill Captain Palu!"
The Black Death Doctor roared hoarsely, trying to stop the Blood General's wanton actions, especially attacks against Little Crow, the Witch, and the Hunter!
The Witch and Hunter were both important components in the Blackfin Crew's grand plan!
"..."
The Blood General in the mist looked at the Black Hunter and Palu sprinting across the sea. He hesitated momentarily, then waved his fingers, whispering:
"Blade Slash."
Swish!
Instantly, a hundred-meter blood-red mist blade condensed in the air, descending from the sky to slash at the back of Palu's head!
In the Blood Blade Domain, blade energy formation took only 0.05 seconds. Combined with the abundant spiritual energy permeating the air, even legendary spiritual perception found it difficult to predict blade energy formation!
Damn it, too late... Palu's blue hair fluttered in the sea breeze, already prepared to withstand this strike.
Clang!
However, the next second, Chen Qi instantly teleported, blocking in front of Palu, slashing out to block this terrifying strike!
"Hmm?"
In the mist, the Blood General's finger paused, extremely surprised.
This legendary at the spiritual field level could actually block his slash.
Chen Qi took a deep breath. For him with Deep Sea perception, predicting this blade slash wasn't difficult!
"Well done! Hahaha!"
The next second, Palu laughed heartily, his pace gradually slowing until he stopped completely, no longer moving.
He stopped fleeing, stopped evading!
He had reached the most suitable position to release his domain!
This was the destined location for deploying the Dice affinity domain!
The Blood General's eyes carried blood-red arrogance. In the Fog Sea, he had already learned this was a captain with only transformation abilities.
Just slashing would determine victory!
Slash! Slash! Slash!
The Blood General waved his fingers, attempting to cut off Palu's head.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
However, the slashing attacks became completely ineffective in that instant!
Palu gently rubbed his fingers together, the dice in his hand continuously spinning as he chanted:
"The death and life of heroes, the rise and fall of kingdoms, the existence and destruction of worlds - what determines these isn't warriors' courage, nor ministers' wisdom, but merely luck, a dice above the world!"
"Master of worldly fate, maker of world games, wielder of the Dice affinity's twenty-sided dice! May you bestow precious power! Upon this sea, let's play the simplest gambler's game!"
The dice in Palu's hand spun faster and faster, the dimensional rift in the sky growing larger and larger!
Finally, he shouted loudly:
"Domain Release. Game of the Gods, D20!"
His spiritual energy surged forth like a storm!
Boom! Boom!
Simultaneously, the dimensional rift in the sky, like a split abyss, expanded to its limit, covering everything within sight!
Above that dimensional rift stood the phantom of a giant wearing a magician's hat, looking down upon everything in the Witch Sea.
This tall giant phantom wore a tailcoat. In its right hand were countless dice the size of human heads.
The total number of these dice exceeded a hundred million, piled mountain-high in its hand!
Good luck, this Release... Palu looked up at the sky, a slight smile curling his lips.
Disaster Messenger Rose gritted her teeth:
"A monster that only appears during Dice affinity disasters..."
She had always known that the reason Palu could stand out among legends, being called a Sea Emperor, was because of his Release!
But actually witnessing it, the Four Emperor Palu's realm was more terrifying than she imagined.
Then, the giant phantom in the sky whispered:
"The world is but a game."
"Now, the game begins."
Then, this sky giant phantom violently flipped its arm, pouring down the mountain-like pile of dice from the sky.
Drip! Drip! Drip!
Countless head-sized dice fell like heavy rain, accurately landing on everyone's heads on the battlefield, forming special angel halos!
Inspiration prompts from the dimensional rift instantly flooded everyone's minds!
[You have entered the domain 'D20'!]
[All your attacks and defenses will undergo D20 domain judgment!
D20: Each attack and defense will undergo a dice judgment. The higher the dice roll, the better the effect, and vice versa.
Note: Your attack and defense results will be '0.1 * dice roll' outcomes.]
Everyone looked up at the dice halos above their heads.
They had heard domain legends before, but this was their first time facing a domain technique on the high seas!
A navy soldier doubtfully picked up his blade, violently slashing at a pirate stronger than him. The dice halo above his head rapidly spun, rolling a 20!
Instantly, his blade became imbued with Dice affinity power, turning incredibly resilient, unleashing double the power. With one move, he directly killed the taller, stronger pirate!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Everyone looked at each other in astonishment!
Powerful strength, exceptional agility - all would be affected by the dice's power.
Rolling a one, even a third-tier expert's Release couldn't finish off a second-tier superhuman.
Rolling a twenty, even a grunt's random shot could kill a captain.
A random twenty-sided dice would determine their fate - this was the D20 domain.
However, the pirates soon noticed something wrong. Not everyone present had twenty-sided dice above their heads.
They looked in surprise toward Palu and the Black Hunter at the domain's center.
The dice above their heads were perfectly smooth, like spheres, with one hundred faces!
