Xia Country's two consecutive victories cannot shake the fundamental situation of the entire Otherworld battlefield.

According to the Otherworld Research Institute's research on countless lost civilizations, most of them fell just before the dawn of victory.

Countless evil gods had already thoroughly infiltrated these lost civilizations; if they were to unite, their collective power would have long surpassed the resistance of those civilizations.

The situation on Blue Star is relatively better, but not by much.

Humans are not united enough, and the evil gods are likewise harboring their own ulterior motives.

Currently, the Purgatory God, who was violently attacking Blue Star, has temporarily withdrawn due to heavy injuries.

The pressure on other countries from the Purgatory God's forces has also suddenly lightened.

The God of Distortion, an evil god skilled in schemes and trickery, has been quiet lately.

The reason for the temporary withdrawal of those two is directly and closely related to the Lord of Spirits and the Necromancer God.

Among these three powerful evil gods, only the Deep Sea God, after suffering a setback, has instead contacted the Eagle Country's high-level officials more frequently, attempting to further control Eagle Country.

According to information obtained by Long Jin, Eagle Country President President Tripp actually took this opportunity to let a group of believers following the Deep Sea God take over the Hawaiian Islands.

He did this to gain bargaining value with the Deep Sea God and secure more benefits for his own citizens.

To put it nicely, it's called a takeover; to put it bluntly, it's a sell-out.

It is expected that the Hawaiian Islands will soon become a place where deep sea demons run wild.

As a land-based island chain, it is closest to the Eye of the Deep Sea and has a permanent population of over three hundred thousand.

Once they are used as consumables for a Sacrificial Ritual, it is highly likely that the Eye of the Deep Sea will expand.

Eagle Country cannot be relied upon; their high-level officials only want to protect their own foundation and maintain their status as the number one power on Blue Star.

And Xia Country must prevent such events from occurring.

Long Jin did not directly mention the matter of the Hawaiian Islands during the meeting.

Because if he used this as one of the reasons for Sea-Breaking Sword Operation, it would surely cause dissatisfaction among the generals at the meeting.

Why should they have to clean up the mess for the Eagle Country people on the Hawaiian Islands?

In their view, the more of those people who die, the better.

But as one of the commanders-in-chief of the three major battlefields, Long Jin had to think further ahead.

Xia Country is too far from the Hawaiian Islands; they wouldn't, and couldn't, protect the people there.

All they could do was strive to destroy the Eye of the Deep Sea before the Hawaiian Islands were completely controlled by the Deep Sea God's forces.

And this goal could by no means be achieved through Sea-Breaking Sword Operation alone.

...

Hawaiian Islands, Qingzhu Port.

Location of the Pacific Navy Headquarters.

Seven giant ships bobbed in the seawater; they were all supreme-class giant ships that Eagle Country had obtained from Otherworld dungeons.

Their size was one grade smaller than Xia Country's star sea ships, but they were still nearly two hundred meters long.

In the center of each ship's deck stood a massive turret.

It was none other than the god-slaying turret, which was considered a powerful trump card in Xia Country.

A massive gun barrel extended from the incredibly large turret, aiming at the deep sea.

These seven ships were the pride of Eagle Country's Pacific Fleet.

Any one of them was enough to repel a Rank 9 Deep Sea Monster Lord, crush hundreds of Rank 8 Deep Sea Monsters, and protect a stretch of sea.

During the years of truce with the Deep Sea God, Eagle Country relied on its abundant national strength to scour resources from various dungeons and assemble these seven giant ships.

Besides these seven giant ships, there were over a hundred other vessels of various sizes from the Otherworld.

Yet, in the vast ocean, facing countless Deep Sea Monsters, they were still insignificantly small.

Burt stood at the bow of one of the giant ships, leaning against the white-painted railing, gently swirling a glass of red wine with one hand, his expression very relaxed.

More than ten days had passed since Albert and the others entered the Firefly Coast.

Calculating the time, Gordon should have already completed the task assigned to him, turning all the Adventurers who entered the Firefly Coast into demons.

Thinking that the Firefly Coast Instance would be taken over by the Deep Sea God in three days, and that these demons would all join him and work for him,

Burt's lips curled up involuntarily.

Right now, he was in need of manpower, as his subordinates lacked die-hard followers of the Deep Sea God.

Although that newly joined chairman seemed a bit reluctant, in a moment of life and death, he would surely realize Burt's good intentions and become a demon.

Unfortunately, the Firefly Coast was currently tightly sealed; even the Deep Sea God could not peek inside to see what was happening,

otherwise, Burt really would have liked to see how that arrogant chairman of the Xiawei Main Island Adventurers Association would kneel on the ground crying, begging Gordon to turn him into a demon.

Now was a critical time; the Great Deep Sea God had originally been waiting outside the Firefly Coast Instance, ready at any moment to control the Guardians transformed by the deep sea aura and take over the dungeon.

However, new movements had been reported from Xia Country; the commander-in-chief of the Sea Demon battlefield had seemingly gone mad.

He had actually publicly declared at this time that he would attack the Eye of the Deep Sea to the north of the Hawaiian Islands.

It was said he had acquired a newer model of otherworld aircraft carrier from some dungeon, one even more advanced than the seven ships beneath Burt's feet.

And this plan also included the animals of the Sacred Lake.

Compared to the Firefly Coast Instance, the Eye of the Deep Sea was clearly more important.

The Deep Sea God had no choice but to leave the outskirts of the Firefly Coast Instance and head outside Blue Star to protect the Eye of the Deep Sea.

Just then, a blonde man with an aquiline nose stepped onto the deck and bowed to Burt:

"General Burt, Xia Country's customs forces have set out; they will reach the Eye of the Deep Sea in about two days."

Burt replied nonchalantly:

"I know."

In fact, he learned about the movements of the Xia Country troops even faster than this employee working at the headquarters spying on Xia Country's intelligence.

The man hesitated, then finally spoke:

"Should we cooperate with Xia Country and assist them in attacking the Eye of the Deep Sea?"

Hearing the intelligence officer's words, Burt smiled, a faint hint of killing intent flashing through his eyes:

"You're saying we should attack the Eye of the Deep Sea? Come, tell me, why do you think that?"

The intelligence officer completely missed the underlying meaning in Burt's words, thinking Burt was genuinely interested.

Great!

The words he had just plucked up the courage to say had paid off!

This newly arrived admiral was a favorite of the President; if he could win his favor,

then his promotion and fortune would be just around the corner.

The intelligence officer's expression was excited, and he immediately began to talk at length:

"General Burt, I heard that the Lord of Spirits is also participating in this Xia Country operation,"

"perhaps there really is a chance this time to destroy the Eye of the Deep Sea!"

"We can take this opportunity to communicate with the Lord of Spirits and win him over to counter the Deep Sea God!"

Like most normal humans, this intelligence officer had a simple sense of justice common to the general public,

and he believed the suggestion he offered was more beneficial to Eagle Country.

But while he was talking grandly with Burt's permission, he had no idea

of the deal between President President Tripp and the Deep Sea God,

much less that General Burt standing before him was a believer in the Deep Sea God.
