Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Who Dares Accuse This Councilor Before the Court!

The three-meter-tall fish-headed monster was certainly robust, but in front of the five-meter-tall Wu Chang, the difference was no less than that between a child and an adult.

In the state of Giant Whale Transformation, Wu Chang’s Strength Attribute increased by 50%, reaching an astonishing 40.5.

This value on land means that except for adult elephants, no other creature could withstand two slaps from him.

Take, for instance, the fish-headed monster charging at the forefront; Wu Chang slapped it casually, its lower body still maintaining a forward run, but its head was sent flying back, with the gills on its neck splayed out.

Seizing the opportunity, Wu Chang caught it, thrusting two fingers into the fish-headed monster’s gills, using its body as a weapon to swing in a circle around him.

Anything caught in this swing would at least have their bones broken, tendons snapped, and at worst, their heads would explode into a display of blood mist, collapsing to the ground in convulsions.

In the blink of an eye, five or six fish-headed monsters fell dead at his hands.

This is the charm of the Great Windmill!

As the saying goes, strength subdues ten techniques. To slay these fish-headed monsters, Hanshi needed to cast buffs, activate skills, and finally hack several times to kill just one.

However, for the giant-sized Wu Chang, any random attack was akin to an area-damaging skill.

As long as there were enough numbers, it could solve any problem.

Even the “minimal harm, maximum insult” Mamba Iron Elbow, when used by him now, could easily shatter a fish-headed monster’s skull.

On the Fishman Wharf, he was like a humanoid tank, charging and crashing among the fish-headed monsters.

In just five minutes, the first wave of twenty fish-headed monsters that came ashore were already lying on the ground.

Having dealt with the enemies, what came next made him a bit troubled.

After the Divine Grace Day ceremony, he already knew these fish-headed monsters were townspeople who had consumed Golden Flying Fish; they were once human.

Although the fish-head creatures in the Inner World were directly condensed based on the island’s past history, eating these things still felt rather unpleasant to him.

For most people, eating humans is an insurmountable taboo. Without friends like Uncle Pull who knew how to cook them, the average person would never encounter such an experience in their lifetime.

Just as Wu Chang hesitated, he saw a wisp of white gas emanating from the bodies of the dead fish-headed monsters on the ground.

This wisp of white gas resembled the vital energy he saw inside living bodies when using the Curse Skill.

Inspired, he took a deep breath towards the escaping white gas.

The twenty streams of white gas were drawn and inhaled into his stomach.

The Swallowing Skill was truly activated.

「Talent Skill: Swallowing」

「Skill Description: In the state of Sea Race, your Strength Attribute increases by 50%; devouring enemies grants you temporary Strength Attribute and enlarges your body size. For every enemy devoured, your Willpower Limit temporarily decreases by 0.5, duration: one Plane.」

Devouring twenty enemies in one go decreased his Willpower Limit by 10 points.

But in contrast, his Strength Attribute increased by 20 points, and his body size grew from 5 meters to 7 meters.

For ordinary players, sacrificing 10 points of Willpower to gain 20 points in the Strength Attribute is not a good trade.

But for Wu Chang, with nearly gifted high Willpower, paired with the Postman’s Delivery Bag, he could enjoy a feast at the Fishman Wharf all night.

He rubbed his hands together, looking towards the sea full of anticipation.

He didn’t have to wait long, as the sound of a sea horn erupted, and the fishman fleet appeared on the water.

However, perhaps his Sin Value was too low, or Hanshi had killed too many before, as there were only two medium-sized and three to four small boats on the sea, far less than the fleet encountered in Hanshi’s grievances.

“This is just too stingy. Don’t they know the kid is still growing?”

He complained, unable to wait for the wooden boats to dock, and rushed into the water.

With Ocean Affinity making the underwater world his main battleground, his massive 7-meter body moved with ease underwater.

In the water, he and the sea became one, with no ocean restraints showing on him.

He was akin to a mass of flowing water, with the sea not limiting him but aiding him.

Anytime he wanted, he could stir up waves or dive into the deep sea.

Soaking in the cold night sea, he felt no discomfort, but rather security and warmth.

The sensation was so relaxing that a familiar call came from the depths of the ocean.

So intimate and familiar was that call.

His vision stretched far as the image of his mother’s call in his childhood emerged in front of him.

“Wu Chang, come here.”

“Wu Chang, come here.”

…

“Wu Chang! Get over here! Your teacher, Ms. Li, told me this afternoon that you didn’t hand in your homework again, didn’t pay attention in class, and were chatting with the girl next to you. Your laughter was so loud that the hallway patrolling vice-principal heard it! Are you trying to rebel against the heavens?”

Wu Chang shivered, suddenly waking from the Illusion Realm.

Close call, almost got caught.

Coming to his senses, he found darkness all around; using Ocean Affinity, he realized he had dived three to four hundred meters below the surface.

What kind of thing is this sinister?

He focused, ignoring the calling from the ocean below.

Having consumed too many fish-headed monsters, his Will Value had decreased rapidly in a short time, causing a gap in his will defenses, allowing the thing underwater to take advantage.

Fortunately, his foundation was solid, even with a 10-point decrease in Willpower, it still remained above 50.

He wasn’t trapped in a completely fictitious Illusion Realm but maintained the reality of a nurturing mother.

Monsters are simply monsters. Even if they’re intelligent, they don’t understand the human heart.

They think gentle name calls symbolize kindness and warmth?

Hah, when his mom used his full name as a child, it was always the prelude to a storm.

He didn’t know what lay beneath the deep sea, but his Inspiration of up to 90 points told him it definitely didn’t belong to a C-Level instance.

Or even the Desolate Realm.

Could it be the Lord hiding on a square stone post, ready to give him candy?

He now somewhat understood Matty’s feelings; the most terrifying things lie in knowing what is horrifying yet feeling no crisis when facing it directly.

Moments ago, he was almost entrapped to the unknown deep sea, but upon recovering, he didn’t feel remorse, rather a slight loss, as if he had let down someone’s good intentions.

I’m sorry, I’m not worth you being so good to me; I don’t want to hold you back; you deserve better.

He shook his head, bowed to the deep sea, delivering a chain of good-guy cards, then swiftly swam towards the surface.

To release his inexplicable emotions, he let out a thunderous whale call, then leaped high out of the water, landing heavily on a small wooden boat carrying fishmen.

The tremendous impact capsized the boat in an instant, causing the fishmen on board to fall into the sea.

The fish-headed monsters transformed from townsfolk obtained their power by eating Golden Flying Fish, but their absorption efficiency was poor and did not gain Ocean Affinity.

As fishmen, fighting Wu Chang in the water was even more helpless than on the wharf.

Moreover, Wu Chang now was larger and stronger than before on the wharf.

An Otherworld version of “Jaws” played out before the fish-headed monsters.

In just two minutes, Wu Chang eliminated all the fish-headed monsters who fell from the small boat.

His body swelled again, turning towards another small boat…

Half an hour later, Wu Chang, in human form, emerged from the water, returning to the wharf.

The fishman fleet was entirely cleared by him, and they wouldn’t respawn for now.

Having endured the second wave of attacks, the Fishman Wharf naturally moved to the third stage.

In the center of the wharf, the life-size bronze statue of Count Jermaine emitted a radiant glow.

A six-meter-tall fishman, glimmering with Golden Light and dressed in full armor, materialized on the wharf.

Wu Chang sensed the aura of a Divine Envoy from it.

It seems in the Inner World, a Divine Envoy doesn’t require possession to manifest through a statue’s power.

The Divine Envoy raised the Knight’s Sword in its hand, its tip pointing directly at Wu Chang, proclaiming, “You are guilty!”

The judgment light was about to fall on Wu Chang, but it shattered like a water column hitting rock, Wu Chang remaining standing intact.

He pulled out the Town Councilor Badge from his personal space, disdainfully declaring:

“Who among you accuses this councilor!”

He then sneered, transforming into an eleven-meter-tall giant whale, looking down at the doll-like Divine Envoy, slapping it away.
