The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Lainekel’s Request: Demon Special Forces New Unit

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lainekel shook his head, realizing that the world had changed beyond his knowledge and imagination.

He felt like an old man of a bygone era, with the new world no longer able to accommodate his ship.

After a moment of silence, Lainekel spoke with solemnity, “Lord Jichen, I would like to ask for a favor.”

“Please, go ahead.”

“If one day you defeat the demonic army, I ask for the opportunity to seek revenge against the Dreadlord Balzama.”

Ji Chen looked at Lainekel, whose eyes were filled with determination, his expression slightly surprised.

After a moment of silence, he nodded.

“I promise you.”

A faint smile, barely noticeable, appeared on Lainekel’s stiff face, but it was a smile of genuine happiness.

The tormented hero, even after escaping the abyss, still sought to wield the blade of revenge against the mastermind of his nightmares, to end the centuries of suffering.

Even if it was an impossible feat against an unbeatable foe.

Solidus’s expression softened, determination growing within him.

He slowly realized that no race could stand alone in this war. If that was the case, then the Deep Sea Dragon Whales should not stand idly by.

“Lord Jichen.”

Both Lainekel and Ji Chen turned to look at the humanoid dragon-whale.

“I believe the Deep Sea Dragon Whales can contribute to this war. I will do my best to rally my people and help you drive those evil demons back to where they belong, ensuring our ocean, our home, remains untainted by darkness.”

“Just like the Dragon Whale Hero, who has forever slumbered in the void, didn’t hesitate for a moment to sacrifice his life to stop the demons.”

Lainekel clenched his fist with determination. “Yes, let’s drive those demons back, no, exterminate them all!”

Jichen solemnly replied, “That is excellent. Thank you for contributing to this defensive war. The Ocean Crown will forever remember your contributions.”

With the addition of the Deep Sea Dragon Whales, along with the Elven Empire, Dragon Island, and now the Deep Sea Dragon Whales, there were now four forces assisting the Ocean Crown.

Whether for self-interest or for justice and the greater good, having more allies was always beneficial.

Leaving Lainekel’s place, Ji Chen returned to the Lord’s Castle, or rather, the Lord’s Castle Complex. Passing through the lowered drawbridge and three successive city gates, he finally entered the residential area.

Underneath the towering walls and towers were vast living spaces, filled with grasslands, private gardens, reception halls, swimming pools, and various other facilities, epitomizing the extravagant lifestyle of a lord.

Wilus had already arranged for many servants to settle in. Dozens of beautiful maids dressed in black and white stood on either side of the path to welcome him. Without exception, they looked upon him with reverence, their eyes filled with the fervor of meeting a deity.

For them, the gods resided high above in the heavens, too distant to reach. But here before them was a living deity they could touch.

They harbored no doubts about whether the Lord would ascend to godhood. As long as they faithfully served, they believed that one day, when the Lord ascended to his divine kingdom, they too would become citizens of that heavenly realm.

This trend of fervent belief was something Ji Chen found difficult to curb, yet there was no need to. He didn’t need to do anything special. As long as he continued to grow stronger and occasionally bestowed favors, his subjects would regard him as a deity on earth, offering their unwavering loyalty and support.

The gods were all the same in this regard; in the process of becoming stronger, they amassed followers, naturally gaining loyal supporters and believers upon ascension to godhood.

Nightfall descended.

Under the care of the maids, Ji Chen finished his dinner, took a bath, and declined their implied offers to accompany him to bed. Instead, he draped himself in a coat made of deep-sea merfabric and sat on the castle terrace.

He opened the Military Talent Tree.

The strategy for cultivating units with the power of light was to utilize the fusion function of the talent tree.

In theory, as long as they fused with units of the light element, they could cultivate units with the power of light. In Ji Chen’s vision, this new unit should possess the ability to combat demons with light power while also being capable of fighting in oceanic environments.

At the same time, their tier couldn’t be too low; otherwise, no matter how they countered, it would be futile.

Currently, Jichen didn’t have any light-based units, but fortunately, there were many merchants on New Moon Islands who specialized in selling core units for recruitment camps. They naturally had some resources on hand.

At his command, the maids quickly went to purchase several core units for light-based recruitment camps. When those merchants heard it was for Ji Chen, they all offered discounts without hesitation. In the end, a total of one million five hundred thousand gold coins were spent to purchase cores for four different light-based units.

None of the four units were fifth or even sixth tier; the highest was only a four- tier, ninth-star unit.

However, Jichen wasn’t disappointed. A fourth-tier unit was probably the highest-grade unit commonly circulated in the market. Fifth-tier units were only available through special channels, and sixth-tier units were almost never circulated, as they were the main units of various major forces.

Ji Chen examined the four light-based units one by one.

– Light Attendant: Fourth Tier, 5 Stars.

– Radiant Falcon: Fourth Tier, 3 Stars.

– Light Controller: Fourth Tier, 6 Stars.

– Sacred Priest: Fourth Tier, 9 Stars.

As expected of light-based units, the names of the units were more or less related to light, radiance, and holiness. Without wasting any time, he opened the unit fusion page and matched these four units with the existing Ocean Crown units.

[Compatibility between Light Attendant and Tyrant Azure Dragon]: 21%.

[Compatibility between Sacred Priest and Sea Crystal Wyrm]: 9%-

[Compatibility between Radiant Falcon and Ocean Blood Dragon]: 33%.

[Compatibility between Light Controller and Heavy Armor Toothfish Knight]: 15%.

To Ji Chen’s great disappointment, the compatibility between these four light­based units and most of the Ocean Crown units was extremely low, with some even in single digits, indicating just how mismatched they were.

With a mindset of giving it a try, he also included other non-main force units for matching.

The panel refreshed.

As Jichen’s gaze shifted downward, his eyes lit up when he saw the second-to- last row.

[Compatibility between Light Controller and Tidal Sea Spirit: Darkness]: 99%.

Goodness, a combination with a whopping 99% compatibility appeared!?

What surprised him the most was that the Tidal Sea Spirit was not a combat unit; it could only possess ships to replace human control of vessels. He hadn’t expected such a high compatibility with it.

As for the Light Controller, it was a type of spellcasting unit, primarily attacking by casting area-of-effect light damage spells. It didn’t have any outstanding features.

Was there any connection between the two? At least Ji Chen couldn’t think of one, but as a pragmatist, whether they were connected or not didn’t matter as long as they were effective.

Based on his experience from the previous fusion, the Military Talent Tree rarely produced mediocre units through fusion; without exception, they were all more powerful units.

To ensure that the new unit possessed the power of light, Ji Chen primarily used the Light Controller, supplemented by the Tidal Sea Spirit, without hesitation. He directly spent one million units of rare resources on fusion.

The inventory of rare resources decreased by one million, leaving over 3.6 million units now.

“The fusion of Light Controller and Tidal Sea Spirit succeeded, creating the new unit: Light Sea Spirit.”

[Light Sea Spirit]

[Race]: Sea Spirit

[Tier]: Fourth Tier, 7 Stars

[The fused unit of Light Controller and Tidal Sea Spirit, possesses the characteristics and abilities of both units]

Ji Chen’s eyes showed some interest.

This unit was quite intriguing.

The skills possessed by the Light Sea Spirit are all excellent, with wide-ranging damage and decent survivability. Not only can it construct more powerful skill effects through “resonance,” but it also has the ability to buff allies similarly. Overall, it was quite a powerful unit.

However, the drawback lay in its tier not being particularly high, perhaps being dragged down by the Tidal Sea Spirit, which was only at the fourth tier, 1 star.

But this was hardly a concern in the face of the military talent tree; levels could be raised in no time.

With the confirmation that the Light Sea Spirit was the unit he desired, Ji Chen didn’t hesitate. He confirmed the fusion and then took out ten blank imprint recruit camps obtained from exploring the dark waters of the Great Luminescent Sea, imprinting this new unit into them.

In this way, he wouldn’t need to occupy the only Tidal Sea Spirit recruit camp. The ability of the Tidal Sea Spirit to possess ships was of great help in enhancing naval combat capabilities.

Ji Chen arrived at the location where the recruit camps were placed, tapping them to recruit the ten Light Sea Spirit camps. First, the fourth-tier Light Sea Spirits were recruited, followed by immediate reinforcement using the military talent tree.

The goal: sixth tier!

“Consuming 1.5 million units of rare resources, 210,000 units of spirit crystals, Light Sea Spirit (fourth tier, 7 stars) —• Light Sea Sovereign (sixth tier, 5 stars).”

First, advancing to the fifth tier with 1.5 million units of rare resources, then advancing to the sixth tier with 210,000 units of spirit crystals.

With just a gentle click twice, a fourth-tier unit instantly transformed into a sixth-tier unit, requiring only some resources.

The resources needed to cultivate such a unit by the indigenous people would have been a hundredfold or even a thousandfold higher, not to mention the incalculable time.

This was enough to show the power of the military talent tree.

Each recruit camp could recruit 10 Light Sea Sovereigns per week, each requiring 60 units of spirit crystals. With ten camps, he could recruit as many as 100 per week, totaling 6,000 units of spirit crystals per week.

This was still considered relatively low; for example, recruiting a sixth-tier, 8- star Ocean Blood Dragon required 150 units of spirit crystals, totaling a whopping 21,000 units of spirit crystals per week

Without exaggeration, just this one unit was enough to crush an ordinary territory.

Ji Chen once again checked the panel of the Light Sea Sovereign, now enhanced to a sixth-tier unit.
