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

The sea grass wings on Lord Sea God's face flapped gently, making an elegant gesture of slicing meat:

"I await the teacher's arrival! Hai Ge, after you finish handling the matter of the offering, after paying tribute to the God of Kraken, put on your formal attire and wait in front of the gate of the Land of Ascension for the teacher.

Remember, when entertaining the Witch, do not lose your grace; you must employ the highest etiquette."

Hearing that the Ice Witch intended to assassinate her, Lord Sea God couldn't help but let a faint smile curl the corner of her mouth, elegantly using a fork to dig at the wall's sea grass and savoring it finely.

Lord Sea God is smiling; indeed, to her, the power of the Ice Witch is not even worth mentioning... But she seems to have misunderstood me... As Lord Sea God's most beloved Angel Envoy, I cannot convey the message incorrectly... Hai Ge swallowed:

"Lord Sea God, I may not have made it clear. According to the intelligence we currently have, the Ice Witch will not come. She has only sent her disciples, Black Hunter and Flower Witch..."

Only Black Hunter and Flower Witch have been dispatched...

The smile on Lord Sea God's face vanished in an instant.

In the vast palace, a quiet murderous aura pervaded, an aura that could make Hai Ge, whose body was as hard as steel, involuntarily shiver.

"..."

The Ice Witch will not come... Lord Sea God gripped her knife and fork tightly:

"The teacher has truly gone senile. Hai Ge, there's no need to prepare any etiquette!"

She is about to ascend, the supreme leader of the Sea God Pirate Group, the new deity who will rule the sea!

To think they would only send two small fries... Lord Sea God took a deep breath:

"Hai Ge, go retrieve the offering for the Trident. Then, the great God of Kraken will assist you in stopping everything, except for the Ice Witch herself. I do not wish to lay my eyes upon that rabble!"

As Lord Sea God spoke, she emitted an extremely cold aura.

"At your command!"

Hai Ge said loudly, breathing a sigh of relief. Thankfully, his performance today had been perfect and had not incurred Lord Sea God's wrath.

Clap!

Afterward, Lord Sea God gently lifted her finger, flicking Hai Ge like a marble to the edge of the palace.

...

...

In the Abyss, within the cold, steel cabin, a mechanical female voice, cold as ice, was heard.

"Current depth 6700 meters, about to commence the second stage of the descent. Please, all passengers, be aware of jolts and the shadows of the deep sea, and no matter what situation you encounter, no matter what you see, do not leave the Abyss, and protect the Abyss..."

"I repeat, no matter what situation you encounter, no matter what you see, do not leave the Abyss and protect the Abyss!"

The cold mechanical voice repeated continuously in the cramped space, echoing in everyone's minds.

We're already at a depth of 6700 meters... Chen Qi took out his mechanical pocket watch and glanced at it.

It had been a full two days since they had boarded the Abyss and started the descent.

Over these two days, they encountered devil fish schools, kisses from Abyss Sea Demons, underwater torrents, five-handed Shadow Demons...

All in all, they faced twenty-one waves of attacks, thankfully, most of them assaults by deep sea monsters, all of which Chen Qi managed to resolve through his efforts.

However... Chen Qi looked towards Isa and Fen, who looked utterly exhausted in front of him.

Isa, drooling, sat in the chair, refusing to release Water Elf One from her embrace.

And Fen, clutching her Magic Wand, leaned against Water Elf No.2, her hair naturally spread out.

Aside from Chen Qi, both had fallen asleep, leaving only the conscious Water Elves and Little Golden Fox awake.

Isa, while stroking and showing the look of a besotted fool in her dreams, said:

"My Water Elf, hehe, my Water Elf, so buoyant and soft..."

The big Water Elf One held by Isa desperately called for help:

"Waku Waku! (Master, save me! The human's drool is on my head! I'm not clean anymore!!!)"

The fast-asleep Isa firmly embraced the struggling Water Elf One, refusing to let go.

The more Water Elf One struggled, the tighter she gripped.

"..."

Fen's sleeping face is quite adorable... Chen Qi ignored the cries of Water Elf One and glanced at Little Golden Fox beside him.

Little Golden Fox stood on a chair, staring dazed at Isa's hand, incessantly pinching the bouncy cheeks of Water Elf One.

Isa's pet is indeed well-behaved... Chen Qi couldn't help but feel moved, for in his experience, Golden Flower Foxes were delicate, temperamental pets, aristocrats among pets who would rage at the slightest displeasure.

Yet, Little Golden Fox remained calm in such an oppressive environment!

Chen Qi took another look around the interior of the Abyss.

The inside space of the Abyss wasn't large, encompassing only a lounge, a restroom, and a captain's chamber.

They were located in the lounge, and on both sides of the lounge, there were transparent, circular windows.

"The deep sea..."

Chen Qi stepped forward, touched the extremely cold glass, and looked into the distance.

Submerging in a submarine in the deep sea was lonelier, more oppressive, and more dangerous than sailing on the sea—

Once they left this tiny room, they would be completely devoured by the sea.

Fixed to the outside of the Abyss were four Guardian Bird Lamps from A-grade Cracks, powerful light sources capable of repelling monsters, a crafted artifact from the White Tower Federation.

But even so, at this moment, Chen Qi could only see faint lights and the boundless darkness that swallowed everything.

It was as if the universe had been reduced to just this submarine, floating in the endless Abyss.

Gurgle! Gurgle!

Then, the mechanical voice came again.

"Current depth 6900 meters, soon to reach 7000 meters. At 7000 meters, you reach the Abyss of the sea. I repeat..."
