Chapter 2387 - 2387 Fall of Grace!

2387 Fall of Grace!

A tall and imposing palace stood above the sea. It was made of strong stones and had two tall statues.

The two statues initially had their arms outstretched and looked out empathetically at the boundless sea as though it was blessing all the creatures in the sea.

But in the past few centuries, the statue of the two rulers had been chiseled so that their features and attire had been erased.

The Apostles and dimensional lifeforms had been altering the two over 4,000-meter-tall statues until they had been turned into four large cabinets.

The Apostles played with the corals and pearls that they chiseled off the statues as they continued sternly instructing the dimensional lifeforms loyal to them. If the dimensional lifeforms slowed down their actions, they would immediately receive a scolding.

“Did you not eat your meals? Centuries of years have already passed, but the statues of the four lords still aren’t complete! With how slow all of you are, what is the point of accepting you as believers?”

The Apostles mercilessly killed the dimensional lifeforms that collapsed from exhaustion. It was as though these dimensional lifeforms were not also providing faith power to these Apostles.

This was not because the water world’s Apostles were cruel but because Ink Ocean and Frozen Ocean sent subordinates to patrol the area every few days.

There were many Apostles who had been punished for being too slow. There were even some Apostles who the royal attendants’ subordinates had killed.

As such, the Apostles had no choice but to be so strict on the dimensional lifeforms who were loyal to them.

A female Apostle said to the male Apostle in front of her, who had a sturdy physique and was currently shouting, “Swimming Flood, the time that Lord Ink Ocean set is only a week away. However, the rocks are too hard, and chiseling is too slow. If brute force is exerted, the rocks might even shatter. Given the progress, there is no way that it will be completed in a week! Do you think that Lord Ink Ocean will kill us?”

A sorrowful expression appeared on Swimming Flood’s sunken face.

“Foam Coral, you have asked me this question multiple times. Have you forgotten how your sister and my brother died? Lord Ink Ocean won’t even hear our names if we don’t finish in a week. The sea envoys sent by him will take us out. After all, Apostles like us are a dime a dozen in the sacred hall. When we were first sent here, we thought that this would be an easy job. Who could have known that it would turn out to be so difficult?”

The girl’s fox-like green eyes also closed in despair.

A moment later, her eyes opened, and she sighed in a low voice. “The sacred hall has become increasingly cruel ever since the two rulers disappeared. The sacred hall had been united when the two rulers were still around. There was never widespread carnage like there is now!

“We finally managed to become Apostles. Yet, our lives are as worthless as dimensional lifeforms! If the two rulers were still around, they would never allow something like this to happen!”

The male Apostle with the sturdy physique hurriedly reached out and covered Foam Coral’s mouth.

“Have you gone mad? How dare you say such things? If this gets out, any patrolling sea envoy will put an end to your life even without informing the four lords! If the two rulers could appear, would we still be here trying to change the image of the statues to that of the four lords? If we do our jobs well, we will be able to answer to the patrolling sea envoys even if we don’t manage to meet the deadline!”

This scene replayed all over Grace Sacred Hall.

There were many Apostles who even disregarded their status and joined the chiseling efforts as well. Foam Coral and Swimming Flood were among these Apostles.

While they chiseled away, Foam Coral asked, “Swimming Flood, news has just arrived that the patrolling sea envoys are all going to head to Lord Extreme Ocean’s palace. The assessment will be pushed back by a week! If we join in the work, we should be able to finish the job in around two and a half weeks!”

Swimming Flood’s expression lightened. At the very least, they had crossed this obstacle.

However, Swimming Flood found something to be strange. The relationship between the four rulers had always been contentious. Why were they suddenly gathering together?

For now, Swimming Flood did not know if what came out of this gathering would be good or bad.

When compared to Mermaid Sacred Hall, Grace Sacred Hall was getting weaker.

The four royal attendants were currently the strongest powerhouses in Grace Sacred Hall.

If they joined forces, they would be able to change Grace Sacred Hall’s current awkward situation. But if four of them started to fight, Grace Sacred Hall would fall apart and break down!

They were all sea beasts. Sea beasts did not have much weight in Mermaid Forbidden Sea. They would not be able to develop themselves as well as they did in Grace Sacred Hall.

All of the lifeforms in Grace Sacred Hall were under the four royal attendants’ authority.

If the royal attendants started to fight, all of the lifeforms that were in Grace Sacred Hall’s territory would also be embroiled in the fight.

At that time, they would lose control over their own lives. Besides Apostles, not even Dictators were guaranteed to emerge from the battle unscathed.

…

There were various delicious delicacies laid out in Extreme Ocean’s palace.

Extreme Ocean had sent out his close subordinate Smooth Flow to invite the other three royal attendants. He did this because he hoped the other three royal attendants would visit his palace privately.

Yet, the three of them had pulled out all the stops and brought almost all the patrolling sea envoys.

In a way, the three of them were tending to his pride.

This was the truth.

Given that Extreme Ocean was willing to offer something as precious as the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves in the banquet he was hosting, the three of them had to extend the proper courtesies regardless of what he was planning.

However, this was not good news to Extreme Ocean at all.

Evil Source’s poison had been added to the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves. He only had one pot worth of Wine of Exquisite Water Waves, and there was no way that every patrolling sea envoy could get a taste.

Moreover, if the poison was too diluted, its effects would also be dampened.

Almost 20 patrolling sea envoys had arrived, each of them possessing Turning Wheel Realm Dictator power. They were extremely obedient to Ancient Ocean, Ink Ocean, and Frozen Ocean. If they were not poisoned, it would take a lot of effort for Extreme Ocean to deal with them.

Thus, Extreme Ocean laid out a few tables of food, especially for these patrolling sea envoys, so they could consume food that contained his poison.

Extreme Ocean could not be confident that his poison would work well on Samsara Realm Dictators, but its effects were still strong enough on Turning Wheel Realm Dictators.

Extreme Ocean said, “Smooth Flow, you must be aware that I sent Isa and the others to investigate that part of the sea. Go to that part of the sea and tell Isa and the rest to return.”
