Chapter 167: A new journey
'The sky is beautiful…'
The wind blew past Viktor who was gazing upon the bright stars in a fisherman's boat. It was small, probably illegal and not well maintained. So people were pulling the nets from the water and harvesting their catches in the ice room.
Most of them were crab and lobster.
A man then shouted, "Hey guys! A storm is coming. We need to pull every net before it's 2!"
The man who was pulling the thick tal rope shouted, "I don't think that's possible captain Scott!! We have more than 600 ters to pull. We need more ti!!"
The sky quickly beca dark and a thunderstorm hit the area where they were fishing. Viktor was looking at them rushing to their work and enjoying the cold rain. He was sitting on the tower barefoot in a white shirt and black jeans. He cut his hair short because it was getting between his studies. So, the man who had long hair once looked like a proper gentleman then.
Except for those earrings on both of his ears.
'I thought I could get to see that sea monster today. But the chances are one in a million.'
To have so fun, Viktor once opened a journalist's record to read all the future important events and sohow, he saw the sleeping sea monster's appearance.
The monster's tail got caught in a fisherman's net and it got angry. It attacked the small boat with its fin but sohow, everyone was lucky enough to escape. The CCTV footage of the boat quickly went viral but sadly, the monster was never found even after decades of search. The scientist was able to collect so samples of that monster from that boat and later a powerful elixir was invented.
That triggered the beginning of world war three and more than seventy million people were sacrificed. They waged war for more than fifty years just for an elixir that had the ability to make any human immortal and powerful magic user.
Sadly, the person who made the elixir destroyed every bottle that he had ever made and killed all those immortals by searching for another fifty years. After that, he left human civilization and took shelter in a deep unknown jungle. From then, he lived forever and witnessed the ice age which also stayed for a couple of thousands of years.
Viktor smirked and mumbled, 'For creating an immortal elixir, he nearly saw the end of the human race. This is why God has abandoned the lower realm and doesn't pay much attention to it. Human greed is a dangerous thing that knows no bounds, no blood and no rcy.'
He then looked at that man who was trying his best to hold the wheel of the rope. He was struggling to pull all the nets because the machine was smoking and it looked like it was about to explode. So he had to pull it manually but sadly, he wasn't a hybrid.
His hand slipped and all the struggle he did went in vain.
"Captain!!! The nets are going down!!! We are going to lose it!!!"
The captain opened the window of his control room and his hat blew away by the stormy wind. He then shouted, "We can't afford to lose it!!! Pull it up even if you don't want to lose your job!!! We're gonna have to sell our boat to pay off the loan!! So pull it!!!!"
At that mont, a loud howl ca from underwater. It sounded like a whale but it was louder and scary. That howl made everyone chill down their spines.
Viktor's eyes were nearly on his forehead because it had a one-in-a-million chance to show up and then, his luck struck the jackpot.
He then jumped into the water from that high and dived deep into the ocean. He then saw a gigantic long-necked creature screaming for help because a hook of the net got stuck on its tail. It was a white-skinned fish with a sea lion-looking body. It also had a whale-like tail and bright red eyes.
Its eyes alone were twice the size of the boat so its body was nothing compared to a whale. Besides, it was just a baby 'rmadona' who accidentally found its way up to the surface.
The gigantic creature noticed Viktor and sensed that he was a demigod. So it asked for help through telepathy.
*Lord, please help and send ho. My mother will be worried. My tail hurts so bad! Those small mortals are hurting so bad!*
*Oh? You can talk. Don't move. I will help you get rid of the net.*
Viktor approached the creature and cut off the net from its tail. Then, he saw the injured part of its tail heal instantly. It was a recovering skill.
The creature then said, *I didn't expect a demigod to swim on the surface. My lord, do you live here?*
*No, I don't live in the water. I live above the water surface among mortals. But kid, it's not safe to roam around this place.*
*I didn't co here on purpose. It's forbidden to leave ho and co to the surface. But I was washed away by the underwater whirlpools and ended up here accidentally. I am very lucky to encounter you, my lord. How can I repay this debt?*
*You don't have to repay anything. And don't worry. I will send you back to your ho in an instant. But heed my words. You're a being that should live on this planet secretly. You're immortal and that's the only thing that humans desire. Don't give your blood or any parts of your body to any humans. Or else, they will wage war among themselves.*
*I swear on my lord that I will never co back here. Please forgive my carelessness.*
"Well then, go ho now.* Viktor opened a gigantic portal to the underwater world and again said, *This is goodbye.*
*Thank you, my lord. I will never forget this rcy you've shown .*
The creature went inside the portal and vanished from the ocean. He then went back to the boat and saw the storm also cald down. The stars were coming out of the dark clouds.
'Ah… nobody knows that I just saved the world from a huge disaster. More than seventy million huh? That's a huge number.'
He then went back to his house using his new godly skill teleporting steps and went straight into Adonis's room fully drenched.
Viktor then saw the red aura leaking out behind his innocent smile. He then put the pen down gently on the table and said, "Where have you been, master? Why are you wet like a cat that fell into the sewerage?"
"-_-, I forgot to use my shield because I was diving in the sea."
Adonis then started to dry his hair with warm wind magic and asked, "And why were you diving in the sea?"
Viktor then took a vial out of his drenched jeans pocket and said, "Here you go. The blood of a baby rmadona. It's an earthly immortal monster that lives below the end of the sea and controls the tectonic plate monts."
Adonis took the vial and pointed it against the light. "Is this the immortal blood that you talked about, master?"
"Yes, I was lucky because he paid no attention when I collected it. Make so immortal elixir and drink it."
"But I'm already an immortal, master-_-."
"Then burn it-_-."
"No, it's a gift from master-_-."
"Then keep it."
Viktor then dried his whole body with heating magic and entered the chamber of Astraeus. He was staring at the blank as always and only talked when Viktor was around him.
So he said, "Good evening, my lord. How are you today?"
Viktor looked at Rae's back and then took a seat on a chair. He then replied, "I am doing well. How are you?"
"? I am lucky that I get to see the sun every day just like yesterday when I saw it. I felt its warmth on my face and then my whole body. Darkness, I hate it."
He then raised his arm and raised it to the last beam of the setting sun. He then rolled the wheels of his wheelchair and turned back to see Viktor.
Viktor then said, "What do you an by yesterday? It's been 16 years since you ca out from the darkroom. The people are going to celebrate the beginning of the year 2049 tonight."
Rae then answered, "It felt like a second to , my lord."
Viktor chuckled and said, "You said that every day for all these 16 years. When are you going to stand up from that wheelchair? I can see mushrooms sprouting from under your butt."
"My lord can also be funny sotis. I will stand up when my legs will gain the worth to do so. Please pay no attention to ."
Viktor's smile vanished from his face and said, "Don't disappoint , Rae." He then walked out of the room.
'Another storm is coming but this ti, I will not help.' He closed his record and mumbled, 'You finally showed up, Midas. You're going to die no matter what.'
