Chapter 45: Changes in the Sea

“Sakun... Sakun...”

“Boom!”

“Rumble!”

Sakun was ramming into the stone wall, continuously launching attacks while controlling its power, manically trying to escape from its underground water dungeon. As it used its power, the water in the dungeon evaporated again and again, but fresh water kept flowing into the cell.

Lu Zhiyu observed Sakun in its prison from a fist-sized small window above. It had been a while since he sent Sakun into the water dungeon using a dimensional door. Lu Zhiyu had been trying to find out the limits of Sakun’s power. “Right now, the highest temperature Sakun could control was 783 degrees Celsius. The lowest was negative 70 degrees Celsius.”

Sakun discovered where Lu Zhiyu was and began launching its attacks toward Lu Zhiyu furiously. However, Lu Zhiyu was the one that gave Sakun his power. All he needed to do was control the particles in his surrounding area with his own mind power. Sakun controlled its body using its mind power and charged continuously around the water dungeon, as if it did not know what fatigue was!

Lu Zhiyu was slightly disappointed, “Indeed, the life template was too simple, the power too simplistic. There are too many restraints. But it was mostly because Sakun didn’t have intelligence and did not know how to use its own power optimally.”

However, Sakun was only harmless to Lu Zhiyu. With its ability to control temperature and its powerful mind power, it would be able to destroy several seaside villages and kill thousands of people with little trouble. Its sturdy shell and powerful regenerative abilities also allowed it to ignore most attacks. If it were to barge into a city, it would spell disaster to the average person!

After observing it for a while, Lu Zhiyu had basically uncovered all the secrets regarding Sakun. He released Sakun into the southern sea and followed it in his ship.

Even though Sakun could fly, it could not leave the water for extended periods of time and spent most of its time submerged. It was rare for Sakun to leave the water. After Lu Zhiyu spent a few days observing its swim patterns, he completely shifted his attention away from it. Once it got away from Lu Zhiyu and his tortures, Sakun disappeared into the sea of Maria’s World.

Sakun was the first mythical creature in Maria’s World, a creature that could truly control its supernatural abilities. It did not have predators, nor did it have any opponents in the ocean. It became the unparalleled king of the ocean. Because of its chaotic consciousness, it was like a wild beast, merely charging along around the world. What Lu Zhiyu did not expect was that Sakun would begin to pollute other creatures living in the ocean.

Unlike Lu Zhiyu, Sakun didn’t care to control or restrain its deified cells. Even if the cells somehow got out, Sakun didn’t try to collect them. It often ran into rocks under the ocean or islands and injured itself. The cells that it released while it was injured flowed continually into the ocean. Many creatures that came in contact with the cells started to mutate due to the deified cells. Larger creatures started appearing in the sea. They were called sea monsters, while Sakun was heralded as a god of the sea.

While Sakun was roaming the oceans, its spawn were called the Children of the Sea. There were large octopi, squid, and even jellyfish that could release freezing vapors explosively. There were also missile-like fish, their bodies massive beyond comparison. They could move tens of meters with a single stroke.

Sakun was much smaller than most of the sea monsters, but Sakun could easily lower or increase temperature within hundreds of meters around itself. It could turn a person’s body to ash, or freeze it into an ice sculpture. It didn’t matter how big it was. To an average person, it was god, a god that they could not fight against.

Even the Children of the Sea were impossible to defend against for an ordinary human. These Children of the Sea would also spawn a large amount of offspring. After a few decades, any large sea monsters could be considered to be Sakun’s children. Some of these sea monsters had inherited some of Sakun’s abilities through the small amount of Sakun’s Blood within them. Some could freeze things, others could use fire. Some had strong skin while others were very large.

While outside the ocean, people on the continent of Alen were growing more fascinated by the ocean, as they caught more and more fish from the ocean. The mysteries of the ocean attracted more and more fishermen and explorers from Alen.

More nations appeared on Alen. After a thousand years, both humans and orcs had developed their own nations and gave birth to various cultures and civilization. The two races had gradually spread their areas of influence throughout a large portion of Alen, and now set their sights on the vast ocean.

The boundless ocean was rather romantic to man. There was fear in the unknown, but there were also fantasies. Other than the harvests brought about by the fishermen, people discovered that by sailing, they could easily reach northern nations from the south.

From the practical point of view, trading using land routes would mean that one had to traverse countless mountains and pass through many different nations. The taxes and tolls along the way was enough dampen the excitement of the trade. But the ocean was different. It could save them a large amount of money and time.

When the first explorer returned carrying precious spices, animal pelts, plants, herb and other items and made a fortune, more people flocked to the ocean and kickstarted using sea routes for trade.

Fleets of ships began heading into the ocean, carrying wealth and hope. For a time, the ocean became the world’s hope. Nothing made more money than going on a journey to sea. If one was lucky enough to discovering a safe sea route previously unknown, they would be able to elevate the status of their family.

Merchants, nobles, peasants, even slaves and government officials all began heading toward the sea. Harbors sprang up everywhere, and seaside villages expanded and grew into cities, cargo filling their piers. This growth in sea trade also led to a growth in the shipbuilding industry. People used their experiences from sailing and improved upon the simplest wooden boats, creating ships with masts. At first, the masts couldn’t move and the ship required oars. Soon, ships with moveable masts were created as well, allowing ships to steer forward despite the wind blowing from the other direction.

Currently, there were ships that were thirty meters long, six to eight meters wide, large enough to carry sixty tons of cargo across the ocean. People piloted these ships across the seas, but they still couldn’t completely conquer the ocean. Whenever a fleet sailed into a dangerous area or got caught in a storm, there was still the risk of the entire fleet sinking.

And as people ventured even further into the ocean, they encountered the deepest nightmares in their memories!

A fleet sailed on the peaceful ocean. The strong, study ships had three masts. Even if they got caught in a storm or a small tsunami, the ships should have been able to survive. This fleet belonged to the Luhmann Kingdom’s Rosa d’Oro family.

The captain Shorde stood on the deck, watching the peaceful sea. There was no sign of any storm today. Everything was going very well, and Shorde was in a good mood. Days at sea could get very boring. There were no women, nor were there any leisure activities. His sailors were playing card games popular amongst the humans on Alen. The game was called Sailor’s Cards, since the person who invented the game was a sailor.

Most of the crew were playing cards and drinking on the deck. Some sailors on duty were scrubbing the deck and checking the masts. Soon, it would be lunch time. The kitchen was busy playing cards. The people on the fleet were like a small community.

A bored sailor who was standing on deck suddenly perked up at the sight of a dark shadow in the water. He rubbed his balding head and asked curiously, “What is that?”
