Old days in the box

Chapter 176 My name is Raleye, don’t eat me!

Freya and Taiyin were both stunned, and Zhou Xiao in front of the screen was also stunned!
This indescribable monster is shaped like a gymnasium, but the core of its head is actually a human girl?
Zhou Xiao looked carefully at the girl who appeared in front of the screen. She was in a deep sleep. Her elbows, nape, knees, and back were all connected to the mass of flesh behind her by countless tentacles. It is obviously the command center of this Kraken.

"This is too much. What's going on?" Zhou Xiao quickly moved the mouse and clicked on the biography of the girl in front of him.

"L'lye, 17 years old, deep sea monster."

"The divine life form that holds 4% of the authority over the ocean is called 'Kraken' by land people. It used to live in an independent town in the south of Europa. Two years ago, it volunteered as a living sacrifice to the eight-headed snake demon. He bought the goods in exchange for the town's opportunity to join the Holy Roman Empire. After being thrown into the deep sea, he unexpectedly received gifts from the deep sea, gained access to some of the undiscovered powers, and turned into a divine life form."

"Click to see more information."

"Your name is too abstract! What kind of old apostle from another world!"

After reading this girl's personal information, Zhou Xiao's first reaction was that her name was so outrageous!
R'lyeh is a holy city in the Cthulhu mythology, the sleeping place of Cthulhu himself, and an underwater city that sleeps forever under the South Pacific.

But to put it this way, her current situation is indeed a bit similar to R'lyeh City...

Zhou Xiao then clicked on more information, and a naked girl wrapped in green tentacles suddenly appeared in front of him.

After accidentally obtaining the power of the ocean hidden in the deep sea, Raleye underwent a violent sublimation while sinking to the bottom of the sea, and finally turned into a divine life form in the deep sea. At this time, what Zhou Xiao saw was her true body. ontology.

"Your experience has been full of twists and turns...Eight-headed Snake Demon, you have really done all kinds of bad things!" Zhou Xiao read her biography carefully and cursed while reading it.

At this time, at the core of Kraken's head, the protective flesh ball was forced open, causing Raleye lying inside to gradually wake up and open his eyes.

She looked around in confusion, and soon saw Freya and Tyin floating in front of her——

"what!!"

Both sides were shocked at the same time, both sides were shocked!

Freya's hands suddenly rolled up with water, and Taiyin pointed Frostmourne directly at this strange girl!

"Who are you! Where is Kraken's brain? Where is its divine authority?" Freya asked three questions in a row.

"Trapping! This must be a trap! It transformed into a girl to deceive us!" Taiyin shouted decisively.

"My name is Raleye! Please don't eat me!" The girl also screamed, raising her hands and hundreds of small tentacles around her at the same time in a gesture of surrender.

Both sides were nervous, and the situation once fell into an embarrassing situation.

"You...are you a real person?" Taiyin frowned and poked her ankle with Frostmourne.

There was a tangible touch from the tip of the sword, and at the same time, the cold air of Frostmourne instantly penetrated Raleye's feet, and then was quickly resisted by the divinity in her body and disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Freya realized that the girl in front of her was Kraken's divine authority.

"Are you Kraken? Or... Kraken is you?" Freya asked even more confused.

"She was once a mortal. She did not voluntarily choose to seize the power of the ocean, but accidentally received the undiscovered gift of the deep sea."

At this time, the divine voice of the Son of the Old One suddenly came from the dark deep sea, echoing around the two chosen gods, as if they were watching from everywhere.

After hearing the divine guidance from the Son of the Old One, both of them suddenly understood a little better and put away their hostility.

"I, I am Kraken... No, the sailors actually changed this name for me. My original name is R'lye, and I am from southern Europe..."

Raleye was obviously a little frightened, and he raised his hands and explained hurriedly.

"Don't be afraid, we don't mean any harm..." Now Freya felt a little embarrassed. She quickly put down the Frostmourne held by Tain and said with a smile.

A human girl appeared in the head of a deep-sea monster as big as a mountain. You could tell that there must be something hidden behind this matter.

"Aren't you here to eat me?" Raleye tried his best to hide in his own meat ball and stared at the two of them nervously.

She knew that the divine authority in her body was of extraordinary value, so she hid in the trench and slept for a long time, hiding her existence for fear of being swallowed by other monsters who coveted the authority.

"I am indeed here to take away the divine authority from you, but I have no intention of harming you." "Take it away?" Raleye looked at Freya warily.

In her understanding, the deep sea is a place where the weak and the strong prey on each other, and all power is obtained by devouring each other, including divine authority, just as Freya previously wrested authority from the eight-headed snake demon.

But she was only half right. Transferring authority was not transferring life. The act itself would not actually cause death.

It's just that in a fierce power struggle, everyone will tend to destroy the other party and devour the other party along with the power, so there is almost no such thing as a peaceful transfer.

"Where did you come from? How long have you been sleeping down here?" Freya asked carefully.

"...I fell into this seabed five years ago. I was supposed to be a living sacrifice to the eight-headed snake demon, but for some reason I seemed to have fallen into a cave. A lot of light surrounded me, and so on. When I wake up, I already have authority."

Raleye's tone became slightly calmer. Freya's behavior of keeping her distance made her feel a little relieved, and she gradually revealed more information.

"Another eight-headed snake demon?" Taiyin felt sick when he heard the name of this thing. "So your city was also threatened by that demon, and then you were forced to be thrown into the sea as a living sacrifice?"

"No, I volunteered." Raleye shook his head, and the tentacles extending from his hair also swung.

"Five years ago, the Holy War of the Holy Roman Empire came to our city. As a non-joined area, we had no choice. We could only get protection by joining the Church of the God of Raging Waves. However, the Church required us to prove our piety first and eliminate the eight-headed snake demon for them. The nourishment."

After hearing her words, Tain suddenly seemed to recall something and looked at Freya next to him.

"She was talking about the Holy War of Raging Waves, which actually happened five years ago."

"So it's true?"

"Yes, at that time, the Holy Roman Empire declared war on all surrounding non-joined areas in the name of the war of faith, claiming that it would bring the pagan territories into the embrace of the God of Raging Waves. They expanded their territory a lot in that holy war."

Tayin was already the king of Frank five years ago, so he was still very aware of the wars taking place in neighboring countries.

"But... why? I thought you were all from a civilized country." Freya was a little confused. She always thought that this kind of barbaric war method could only be found in the past Beihai.

"Transfer internal conflicts. The power of the church is growing day by day. The top leaders who hold the power of theology squeeze out the benefits of the bottom, but expect them to survive only by faith. At that time, they were already facing internal collapse, and the eight-headed snake demon was constantly intruding on them. Cities, if they don’t go to war, they will be destroyed.”

Although Taiyin didn't want to admit it, the effect of this move was immediate.

The Holy War successfully directed the internal people to the outside, but the price was the destruction and extinction of a large number of non-joined areas. Even those areas that were lucky enough to join the Church of the God of Raging Waves were only used like livestock by the people of the Holy Roman Empire.

Raleye and her town are the best example.

For the church, they are just tools to deal with the eight-headed snake demon. As long as the eight-headed snake demon can be stopped, they can sacrifice anyone in that town.

"It seems that the Holy Roman Empire is not as harmonious and beautiful as imagined. Theocratic countries are often the most oppressive, right?" Zhou Xiao thought as he listened.

No matter how powerful the monarchy is in other countries on the European continent, the people still have the right to speak out.

But for the theocratic country, God’s teachings trump everything, and there is no room for saying no.

"So you volunteered to be thrown into the sea as a sacrifice, and then you were favored by the deep sea?" Freya continued what she just said.

"Well, I didn't know what was wrong with me at first. Later, the divine authority slowly grew in my body, and I understood what was going on... But I didn't want to be eaten by others, nor did I want to harm others or give anything to others. It caused chaos at sea, so I kept sleeping here..."

Raleye looked at the two of them timidly and made a rather weak voice.

She was one of the lucky ones who received the favor of God's authority as a mortal and survived the catastrophe.

But power is a thing of struggle, and it is natural to strengthen oneself, devour dissenters, and step by step towards the long step of becoming a god.

She neither devours living people nor asks for tribute from humans. The strange sharks and fish on the seabed alone are not enough to satisfy her divine hunger. Over time, she can only evolve in the direction of deep sea monsters, and the more she sleeps, the worse she gets. Shen, getting weaker and weaker.

Mortals with good intentions are still unable to control this power of becoming a god.

If Freya and the others had not arrived first, I am afraid that Raleye would have ended up either being swallowed by the God of Raging Waves, or dying weakly in a deep sleep, with the divine authority in his body returning to the deep sea again and becoming the part that had not been excavated.
