Chapter 616: The Deep Diver's Plan

At this point, Jiang Xiao had guessed the cause and process of the disaster.

In Jiang Xiao's mind, scenes of the disaster flashed quickly like movie clips.

He finally understood that behind all these disasters, it was indeed the tragedy caused by human greed and ignorance.

The ocean, the vastest and deepest area on the earth, was once the home of the deep divers.

They built a brilliant civilization in the deep sea, isolated from the human world, quiet and mysterious.

However, with the progress of industrialization, more and more wastewater was dumped into the ocean by humans, and the pollution became more and more serious.

Especially the recent wastewater, which was extremely polluting, caused huge casualties to the deep divers, and the entire tribe suffered a heavy blow.

The high priest among the deep divers, as the spiritual leader of the tribe, watched his tribe members fall ill one by one due to pollution, and his anger and grief reached the extreme.

He decided to pray to Cthulhu, the highest god they believed in.

He hoped to gain strength to retaliate against those humans who destroyed nature and harmed their homes.

Under the prayer of the high priest, the dark power in the deep sea began to stir, and Cthulhu's hazy will awakened.

Various viruses suddenly appeared in the world, and these viruses spread and mutated at an alarming rate.

Even the zombie virus, an abstract concept that seemed to exist only in fictional stories, became a reality and swept the whole world.

He looked at the deep diver in front of him, the huge eyeballs seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, the trembling gills, the slippery skin, all silently telling the sorrow and anger of the deep sea.

"We. What should we do?"

Jiang Xiao's voice was weak, but full of confusion and powerlessness.

Bai Liu was silent for a while, and then said slowly.

"We must find a way to calm the anger of the deep diver and make up for the damage done by humans to the ocean, otherwise, this disaster will never end."

Bai Liu is very strong, but he also knows himself.

Cthulhu is something they can't deal with at all. That thing is higher than them by many dimensions.

The Deep Diver in the vessel seemed to sense the movement outside. Its huge, bulging eyeballs suddenly turned and stared at Jiang Xiao and the others.

Under the light, its green skin reflected a strange luster that made people shudder.

The corners of the Deep Diver's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

Its voice suddenly sounded in the laboratory. Although it was a little hoarse, it was extremely clear, like a sound made underwater, and it seemed to echo directly in their minds.

"I like what you humans say, 'If apologies are useful, what is the use of laws?'"

"Humans are indeed sorry for you and the ocean."

Bai Liu spoke slowly, with a hint of apology in his tone, but also firmness.

"But we are a weird tribe, the natural enemy of mankind. You don't have to destroy the world, right?"

The Deep Diver's eyes stayed on Bai Liu for a moment, as if evaluating her sincerity.

Then, it slowly closed its eyes, and when it opened them again, the sarcastic smile had disappeared, replaced by a deep and complex expression.

"Weird? I understand. People with strong resentment cannot be reborn after death, and they will become something like you. To put it bluntly, you are still human in nature!"

Essentially still human.

This is very pertinent. At least if Shi Shi and the others do not actively expose their power, they are really no different from ordinary people.

"You humans are always used to looking for redemption after making mistakes."

The voice of the deep diver carries a deep-sea echo.

"But this time, you are not only facing the anger of us deep divers, but also the wailing of the entire ocean. What you need to do is far more than just repairing the damage to us."

At the end, the face of the deep diver was filled with a strange smile.

This smile made Jiang Xiao and others feel a chill.

The voice of the deep diver was full of a heart-pounding indifference, as if it came from the deepest part of the deep sea, with endless darkness and coldness.

"Do you think that the power of Lord Cthulhu is only this?"

Its voice seemed to echo in every corner of the laboratory, making it impossible to escape.

Jiang Xiao and Bai Liu looked at each other, and they could see a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

They knew that the Deep Diver's words hid a more terrifying truth.

The Deep Diver's eyes slowly opened, and the huge eyeballs seemed to contain endless stars, deep and mysterious.

"Everything you humans are experiencing now is nothing more than the hazy will in Lord Cthulhu's subconscious."

The Deep Diver's voice was low, and every word was like a heavy hammer hitting Jiang Xiao and his friends' hearts.

"With you, you don't even have the qualifications to be observed by the gods!"

The Deep Diver's words were full of disdain and sarcasm.

Jiang Xiao felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. He knew that they were facing an existence far beyond the scope of human understanding. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions.

"Then what should we do?"

Jiang Xiao's voice trembled slightly, but he still plucked up the courage to ask this question.

The Deep Diver did not answer immediately. Its eyes turned to Bai Liu again, as if thinking about something.

After a long time, the Deep Diver spoke again.

"To make Lord Cthulhu's will fall asleep, you must find the source of all this, the altar that has been polluted to the extreme."

"Altar?"

Bai Liu repeated, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"Yes, that is the sacred place where our Deep Diver clan communicates with Lord Cthulhu, but now it has been eroded by your human pollutants and has become the medium of this disaster."

The Deep Diver's words revealed a trace of pain and helplessness, and even Jiang Xiao and Bai Liu could feel that emotion.

In fact, if there is a choice, they, the Deep Diver, don't want to bother Lord Cthulhu to help them out.

It's really a helpless move!

So, this Deep Diver now throws the solution to the problem to Jiang Xiao and others.

It's best if they can solve it, but it doesn't matter if they can't solve it.

"Find that altar and remove the pollution on it, maybe it can calm Lord Cthulhu's anger."

The Deep Diver finally gave a possible solution.

"Note that it's maybe, not necessarily."

Jiang Xiao and Bai Liu looked at each other, and they understood that the difficulty of this task was far beyond their imagination.

But in order to end this disaster, they have no choice.

"We will try our best."

Bai Liu finally said, her voice full of determination.

The Deep One did not speak again, it slowly closed its eyes, as if it had handed their fate to the unknown future.
