Evolution: Start AS A Raft

The Sea God slightly opened his massive eyes, revealing a deep blue color akin to the sea. He looked at the tiny creature in front of him and furrowed his brows slightly.

"My child?"

Raine lifted his head, offering a faint smile, "I'm sorry, but you may have the wrong person. I'm not one of your useless descendants. I'm a human!"

The Sea God's children are pure and unpolluted entities. Those accompanying the Sea God were such Sea God's children. They merely possessed a human form but were not human in essence.

However, there are also humans who acquired the bodies of the Sea God's children and, by consuming and integrating these bodies, they retain their human thoughts and soul essence. This is a critical distinction!

Although Raine didn't belong to either of these categories, he directly used the body of a Sea God's child as his own, making him a Sea God's child without any impurities.

Raine's consciousness initially adhered to a raft, taking the hull as the most important object of attachment. But this didn't change his thought process. His self-perception always maintained that he was human.

His perception of the opposite sex might be a bit off, but he certainly had not fallen for another ship. This alone fully proves that his self-perception remained human.

When he obtained the body of a Sea God's child, he became even more human-like! Naturally, the Sea God didn't know about Raine's complex situation, but he knew not all Sea God's children were willing to serve him.

"Human? No matter what you truly are, since you consider yourself human, good. It's just perfect for you to become my sacrificial banner! You lot take his head for me!"

Raine initially planned to negotiate with the Sea God, seeing if there was a chance to jointly combat the Catastrophe. However, it seemed that the Sea God didn't intend to give him any chance to explain, and directly ordered his followers to take action.

Raine shook his head. It seemed that the Sea God's rage could no longer be quelled with words.

"Alright then, it seems that a battle is inevitable!" Raine drew his sword from his waist.

Every time he saw the characters engraved on the sword, Raine felt a headache.

"The sword made of Star Fire Iron"... inexplicably, it gave off a feeling of a roadside stand.

At this moment, the Sea God's children were already swarming toward him.

Like Raine, they possessed full-bodied Sea God's child forms, with attributes that allowed for stacking, not falling short of Raine, their speed far surpassing that of ordinary stage 10 level 10 warriors. They had also been trapped here for hundreds of years and were now giving it their all, vowing to seize the first victory!

"Boy, stretch your neck and die honestly! Avoid suffering!"

Raine was furious, "Stretch your mom, I'm here to kill you today! Soul Contract, 60% soul transfer!"

Suddenly, Raine's figure swelled to ten meters, his eyes bloody red, his face grim! Facing 108 Sea God's children, he didn't dare to slack off at all, directly invoking his strongest state!

With a swing, Raine directly thrust the sword, like a dagger, into the skull of a Sea God's child. Caught off guard, the Sea God's child died instantly, his head bursting!

"So it's a soul contract, with a transfer of 60%, this kid is interesting." The Sea God watched Raine with interest, "Little ones, show some skill!"

Following the Sea God's command, the remaining Sea God's children quickly received their orders, each unleashing their strongest skills.

"Thunderbird Assault!"

Hundreds of lightning bolts shot toward Raine at a rapid speed. With his eyes about to split open, Raine ran and dodged hastily.

"Air Burden!"

Raine had just stopped to catch his breath when he suddenly noticed something wrong with the air pressure above his head. He quickly moved away, only to see the roots of the World Tree behind him being depressed into a square pit by the invisible air pressure!

"Damn it!" Raine's heart chilled instinctively. These guys were indeed not easy to mess with. Each of their moves was extremely dangerous, and he couldn't afford to rest for even a moment.

Taking advantage of Raine's high jump, a Sea God's child initiated the skill "Black Hole Devouring!", predicting Raine's landing spot and forming a small black vortex there.

As Raine fell, he noticed the black hole below him. Once he fell into it, the outcome would undoubtedly be bad.

"No, I have to use my second skill!"

"Space-Time Stride!"

Space-Time Stride does not really allow one to traverse time and space, but rather it uses light refraction and reflection, along with the sacrifice of power amplification, to focus all attribute enhancements solely on speed. This enables Raine to maximize his speed in a short time and, coupled with the visual and judgmental illusions it creates for the enemy, allows for sudden position shifts, making it seem as if time and space have undergone small-scale stagnation or even reversal around Raine.

When Raine first saw this skill, he immediately designated it as his second reserved skill.

In an instant, Raine mysteriously appeared in front of the Sea God's child who had activated "Black Hole Devouring".

"First deal with the long-range attackers! Die!"

A sword pierced straight through the lower jaw of the child, penetrating his entire head!

Raine forcefully withdrew the sword and quickly dodged the incoming Air Burden attack, leaving the poor Sea God's child who had just been headshot to be squashed into a pool of blood by the pressure of the air.

"Two down, 106 to go!" Raine's eyes were blood-red. Having said that, he dashed toward the one who used Air Burden.

This guy's skills were indeed a headache.

The maximum usage time for Space-Time Stride was 90 seconds. During these 90 seconds, Raine had a huge advantage in speed. Coupled with the terrifying attributes of the Devil God, Raine possessed an extremely frightening lethality.

Identifying his opponent's position, Raine arrived in front of him in an instant and swung his sword at his temples. But just then, this guy quickly activated his second skill.

"Ancient Buddha Golden Body!"

With a clang, Raine's sword actually failed to burst his head!

"So it's an Ancient Buddha protective variant, this guy's two skills are pretty twisted!" Raine was well aware that leaving this guy alive would be very disadvantageous for his subsequent battles. It was hard to get close, he had to kill him.

His sword failed to land, so Raine smashed his palm on the guy's head, "Ion Storm!" Raine used his skill and, regardless of whether it worked or not, hurriedly fled.

Every second he lingered, the attacks from hundreds of Sea God's children behind him would catch up.

Fortunately, the Ion Storm successfully dissolved the Ancient Buddha's Golden Body's protection. The guy's face showed extreme pain, he was even unable to activate other skills, and his whole golden body exploded! Ion Storm was not Raine's skill but the Metal Heaven Crystal.

"Three down, 105 to go!"

Somewhere in the corner of the battlefield, a pair of green eyes opened on a tree root. Gradually, a figure emerged.

The elf watched Raine, who was fighting the enemy in the air, with shock, her eyes fixed on the figure that was darting around among the crowd.

As the World Tree rooted in the entire earth, she had long been accustomed to battles of various degrees, but there had never been a battle as absurd as today's.

Even the battle between the strongest in the Sky Sea region could not compare to this. It was a miracle if Raine could live for one second! But, Raine was still alive!

Here, except for her, there were no other spectators, but she knew that this battle was related to the survival of the entire world. Hope and destruction, all in an instant!

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart. She held her hands over her chest, her nerves taut, and murmured, "Raine, you promised me that you would win, right?"
