Chapter 391: The Witch and the Hunter’s Darkened IF Route
Chen Qi pressed his hand against his chest.
On the operating table, the Black Hunter lay like a sacrificial lamb, as the Pirate General Little Crow in the fate projection slowly drained his blood.
This surgery had minimal safety measures, with blood flowing from both sides of the Black Hunter's body, soaking the cold ground.
How tragic! Chen Qi turned his head and asked curiously:
"What kind of surgery is this?"
Massive bloodletting, chest hollowed out... Little Crow watched her frenzied future self in the fate projection and softly explained:
"An unregulated heart replacement surgery."
Heart replacement surgery? Chen Qi immediately thought of one possibility:
The Blackfin Crew intended to replace the 'Black Hunter's' heart with a black whale heart, while performing a complete blood transfusion.
A full body blood transfusion, plus heart replacement.This level of surgery far surpassed physical sublimation.
After all, they weren't replacing it with ordinary blood and heart, but blood and heart from a border deity!
The Ice Witch rubbed her temples, sensing an ominous premonition.
Then, Pirate General Little Crow took a syringe filled with squirming black blood from the surgical kit.
The black blood in the syringe was purer than any black whale blood they had ever seen. Just looking at it made one hear whispers like a woman's weeping.
Then, she injected this medicine into Chen Qi's body:
"Qi! Endure it a bit, the pain will pass soon!"
"After all, we have no way back! I've tried my best to dilute the concentration of this black whale blood!"
"Qi, after this surgery! You'll be reborn! You'll feel pleasure soon!"
"In the future, when we find an opportunity, let's escape this man-eating sea together!! Live a peaceful life!!!"
"No pain, no pain—"
"???"
Fen's head sprouted endless questioning flowers.
Stop touching Chen Qi!
She stepped forward, even feeling the impulse to punch the Little Crow in the fate projection.
Stop it!
However, the Ice Witch pulled Fen back, interrupting her.
Pirate General Little Crow laughed while injecting the most dangerous black whale blood into the Black Hunter's body.
In the fate projection, the future Little Crow had probably gone mad... Chen Qi silently thought.
The power of black whale blood was inherently extremely dangerous, causing unimaginable pain and gradually driving people insane.
Plus, before boarding his ship, Little Crow had been in high-pressure environments, her mental limits long since reached.
Chen Qi faintly noticed that in the fate projection, Little Crow's eyes were bloodshot, her skin covered with bruises and untreated wounds.
During the Dimensional Tide, the sea was a merciless vortex that dragged everyone into it.
Once caught in this vortex, without power, no matter how much you wanted to escape, you could only be ravaged by it.
Although Little Crow had talent, from beginning to end, she never had the power to resist the tide.
She was too weak.
Coupled with the hidden dangers of black whale blood...
Madness might be Little Crow's inevitable ending.
Chen Qi sighed silently.
Just then, Pirate General Little Crow lowered her head, pressed against the Black Hunter's chest, and gently traced her fingertips across the battered chest.
As her fingers moved, the Black Hunter on the operating table also made sounds of pain.
Her face flushed completely, speaking in a delighted voice:
"No pain, no pain, you'll soon have a new heart, a beautiful heart..."
She took another blood-drenched black heart from the surgical kit and slowly implanted it into Chen Qi's body!
Facing the power of the Blood Hunter and Whale Father, this was the only way to keep Chen Qi alive.
"......"
Watching this scene, Chen Qi, the Ice Witch, and the others had countless words they wanted to say.
Especially the panicked Little Crow, whose eyes widened dramatically as she looked around, wanting to find a place to bury herself.
In the future, she actually acted like a mad doctor, performing this kind of surgery on Chen Qi!
Moreover, she did it while laughing and touching Chen Qi's body.
The her in the fate projection was simply inhuman!
And according to the fate projection, she would never escape the black whale's power!
Those enslaved by the black whale don't deserve to be called human!
A strange sense of despair slowly rose in her heart.
She was destined to become the black whale's servant!
Perhaps, I should go, go die right now... Little Crow opened her mouth wide, suddenly having the thought of seeking death.
Slap!
Just then, two warm hands rested on Little Crow's left and right shoulders respectively.
Chen Qi looked at the scene before him and said calmly:
"Don't worry, it's just a vague prediction, this won't become reality..."
"I won't let you die, Little Crow."
Won't let me die... Little Crow looked to her left, gazing at Chen Qi, frozen in place as the grinding feeling in her heart gradually faded.
On her right side stood Fen with a dark expression.
The usually gentle Fen was now looking at her with somewhat murderous eyes!
Moreover, on Fen's neck grew an extremely dangerous bright red flower.
The witch's gaze... Little Crow looked to her right and took a deep breath.
Fen tilted her head slightly. Coldly saying:
"This scene will never become reality."
"Of course, Doctor Crow, you absolutely cannot betray us."
"And if you trust us, I'll do everything in my power to save you too."
Fen's tone was gentle, but her eyes revealed a witch's murderous intent.
"Mmm..."
Little Crow trembled all over from Fen's intimidation, obediently nodding.
The Ice Witch comforted more rationally:
"Little Crow, the 'Sea God' you mentioned earlier might be able to resolve the black whale blood in your body."
"You don't need to worry either - in the future facing the great disaster, you won't be alone, I'll be there too."
The Ice Witch! Everyone looked at the Ice Witch's back, feeling inspired.
The Ice Witch's heart was so broad, so reassuring!
This scene is also a fate anchor point... The Ice Witch gently sipped some black tea, then snapped her fingers again.
Next scene.
It's almost time for the final scene... The Ice Witch said calmly.
In an instant, the world before them was swept away by black waves.
Boom!
Turbid waves carrying a strong bloody scent washed over everyone!
Chen Qi's face was directly hit by a small red crab in the wave.
In the tide, Chen Qi picked up the small crab.
This little crab seemed to be the tenacious small crab from the Dragonflower Archipelago.
However, this resilient crab's body was now covered with hairy, foul-smelling human-faced black pustules.
"Ah, ah!"
The crab made strange sounds—
Chen Qi quickly threw the crab away.
"This is—"
Everyone took a deep breath. No words were needed—they could feel the polluted aura permeating this sea.
That aura was like a sharp blade piercing deep into their brain marrow, making them instinctively suffer and wail.
Snap!
Only when the Ice Witch snapped her fingers did this pain slowly lessen.
What place is this?
As the waves receded, everyone could finally see the scene before them.
They were standing on ancient ruins in the middle of the sea.
On the ruins, ancient granite stones bore a massive pattern spanning ten thousand meters, formed from squirming black blood.
It was a black circular pattern, with a spiral black eye at its center.
Suddenly, Chen Qi heard overwhelming sounds in his ears.
"Whale Father! Whale Father! Whale Father!"
"Great Whale! Great Whale! Great Whale!"
"We praise your power! Great Whale Father! From now on, the Witch Sea is our domain!"
"Great Whale Father! Please display that mighty power, let the Great Whale descend upon this world!"
"Whale! We praise your power! And we shall become the new rulers of this polluted sea!"
Is this a sacrifice? Chen Qi looked into the distance.
This drifting ruin city on the sea was completely surrounded by Blackfin Crew pirates.
Chen Qi casually glanced around.
There were over a thousand warships present, plus countless fishing boats.
On this sea, there were at least a hundred thousand people!
A sacrificial ceremony involving over a hundred thousand people!
Even though he knew it was a fictional fate projection, Chen Qi couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.
Suddenly, he felt a strange prickling sensation on top of his head.
In the gloomy sky above, there was something...
Something!
Chen Qi quickly looked upward.
The sky above the Witch Sea was no longer the warm pale sky.
Hanging in the sky was a black sun.
And that sun was continuously dripping black blood!
Drip! Drip!
The black sun was bleeding.
Black blood fell into the sea.
With each drop of blood, another island appeared on the sea, along with a deep-sea titan from the border.
Chen Qi's pupils were completely covered by this boundless darkness.
Rather than a sun, it was more like a massive black hole!
Under the black sun's power, the tides never ceased, monsters constantly reveled.
Everyone's hearts instinctively called out this name from beyond the border:
Black Whale!
This is the source of the Witch Sea disaster... Chen Qi took a deep breath.
The black whale's power exceeded mortal comprehension.
However, this 'black whale' above was just a phantom, not yet able to manifest in reality.
The Ice Witch withdrew her gaze, looking forward:
"Only by completing the ritual and creating a 'flesh vessel' capable of bearing the black whale's power can the black whale descend."
After speaking, her gaze firmly fixed on the center of this sacrificial ceremony.
As expected, this was the final act of the fate projection!
In the very center of the Witch Sea stood the Ice Witch and Flower Witch Fen, facing the Blackfin Crew's leader Whale Father and Blood Hunter!
The Ice Witch and Flower Witch versus Whale Father and Blood Hunter!
And at this moment, Fen's eyes showed no emotion, her hair half-white, holding a thorny staff, wearing blood-red rose garments.
Behind her were five enhanced super water spirits.
Her spiritual energy field was no longer in its current weakened state!
Fifth tier! Chen Qi was shocked.
At the timepoint of this fate projection, Fen had actually advanced to the fifth tier!
However, Fen's eyes showed no hope, her vitality and life force completely gone, like a cold war machine.
The fifth-tier spiritual energy field she emitted now was enough to defeat everyone present watching the fate projection, including the spiritually exhausted Ice Witch!
The five water spirits behind her had completely transformed too!
Beneath their round bodies were various powerful forbidden medicines.
Under the power of these medicines, each water spirit possessed fourth-tier calamity-level strength!
What timepoint is this?
And these are water spirits? Chen Qi's mind was full of questions.
Right now, he actually felt that if he encountered these five water spirits, he might lose!
Water spirits, terrifying indeed!
"Teacher, what is this about me?"
Fen asked confusedly.
"......"
The Ice Witch didn't respond.
In the fate projection, Fen had taken all forbidden medicines except black whale blood, while also consuming all her lifespan!
After this battle, she would die...
And all this was to join the Ice Witch in fighting Whale Father, preventing the Great Whale's descent!
Chen Qi and the others didn't say much, excitedly watching this battle in the fate projection.
There might be important intelligence about Whale Father here!
In the fate projection, the Ice Witch's spiritual energy had reached heights they couldn't detect!
She reformed her ice crystal sword:
"Come, Whale Father, let us begin the final battle..."
However, in this tense situation, Whale Father just walked casually like a leisurely old man.
Facing the pincer attack from the Ice Witch and Flower Witch, his body remained as heavy as a mountain.
He spoke in a heavy voice:
"Witch, you've saved the sea once, twice, three times..."
"And each time, your power weakened."
"Witch, in these long tides, for this sea, you've exhausted far too much..."
"At this point, you're no longer worthy of me taking action personally."
The Ice Witch in the fate projection remained silent facing Whale Father's provocation.
Whale Father stopped walking, speaking calmly like an elder who knew everything:
"Witch, of the countless paths your fate has glimpsed, none can escape the endpoint of being defeated by me."
Then he suddenly tore a wound in the current altar with his hand!
"Come! My child, let them witness the power of the black whale!"
—Boom!
With thunderous roaring sounds, boundless ferocious black energy emerged from the rift.
A hundred-meter black sea dragon surged forth from the rift!
The black sea dragon breathed, emitting unimaginably terrifying majesty!
A calamity dragon surpassing the Black Lantern Dragon!
The moment the black sea dragon emerged from the rift, all pirates on the sea burst into unprecedented cheers!
All sea beasts roared wildly!
The sea trembled!
What kind of future is this? The Ice Witch pursed her lips.
The future she glimpsed today had completely deviated from all her previous predictions.
However, before she could think further, a terrifying figure atop the black sea dragon made everyone watching the fate projection hold their breath.
Sitting casually atop the sea dragon was a shirtless hunter.
His tempered upper body was covered with scars, his chest bearing a constantly spiraling black hole.
On his back were hundreds of phantom-black ferocious tentacles!
Each tentacle was at least a hundred meters long, some even reaching five hundred meters, a thousand meters!
They danced in the air like ribbons, covering the sky before them.
That black hair, that face!
It was none other than the Black Hunter who had absorbed the Great Whale's power!
Besides the hundred giant tentacles fused with his body, the Black Hunter's eyes showed a red-black mixed color, like constantly spiraling black holes.
"......"
This is the future me? I turned dark? Chen Qi held his chin.
Like the Ice Witch, with his current spiritual perception, he couldn't estimate the specific strength of 'himself' in the fate projection!
The only thing certain was that he, having absorbed the Great Whale's power, was unprecedentedly powerful!
Everyone temporarily suppressed their surging thoughts, continuing to watch.
The tentacles behind the Black Hunter atop the black dragon king suddenly slammed down from the sky, charging toward Fen and the Ice Witch.
In that instant, although the water spirits shot out like missiles, causing five massive water explosions, they only managed to block five tentacles.
One tentacle after another descended like giant pillars from the sky, smashing toward the Ice Witch and Fen!
"Ah!"
Soon, with a scream, illusory black tentacles tightly bound Fen.
Before anyone could recover, the Ice Witch also made a mistake.
Even the Ice Witch became a plaything for the Black Hunter's tentacles.
Everyone watched the scene of wildly dancing tentacles, not knowing how to describe their feelings.
Isn't this fate a bit too absurd!
The Ice Witch and Flower Witch were completely no match for the Black Hunter!
The Ice Witch's hand holding black tea couldn't help trembling.
What's going on?
She had imagined her endpoint—
Fighting bitterly with Whale Father to death, facing the black whale to death—
In the countless fate predictions before her slumber, without exception, she ultimately lost to the descending black whale!
But now, in the future predicted by the fate projection!
She was actually killed by the Black Hunter!
The Ice Witch turned her head, looking at Chen Qi with an extremely complex expression.
This—
This, this can't be right!
