Meanwhile, the Penglai Immortal Ship had returned to Yunmeng Marsh.
The colorful clouds around them were still drifting, magnificent dream fragments floated up and down in the air, and the floating inverted peaks appeared and disappeared.
Everything was as quiet and normal as before.
The crew’s tense nerves finally relaxed.
Some slumped on the deck, some let out long sighs, and some cheered softly.
Su Fu stood at the bow, letting the breeze blow past her ears.
‘What a joke.’
Why wouldn’t they run after the God King appeared?
What were they supposed to use to fight a God?
Cannons?
In such a situation, the obvious choice was to slip away.
The Cloud Sea Stealth Navigation function was originally designed to deal with this kind of situation.
Regardless, the core of the Olympus Map, the arena, had already been destroyed by the bombardment of ten thousand Truth Cannons.
Now they just needed to wait for time to pass, and the map would collapse on its own.
The objective had been achieved.
“Fortunately, I kept a trick up my sleeve,” Su Fu felt relieved.
She had suspected that the relationship between Achilles and the God King was definitely unusual.
Now, everything was just as she had guessed.
When Achilles was driven into a corner, he had indeed summoned the God King Zeus to the scene.
Luckily, she had prepared early, and it came in handy.
And the array that had just been activated was the “Void Obscuration Array,” one of the remnant arrays of the Immortal Ship.
Its function was simple: to hide one’s existence so one could not be tracked.
Combined with the characteristics of Yunmeng Marsh itself, this was a double layer of insurance—very stable.
Even if Zeus wanted to track her, he couldn’t.
And with the Olympus Map gone, Achilles had already suffered a major defeat, like a stray dog.
A complete victory!
As for why she waited for Zeus to act before running?
It was because Achilles constantly bothering her was quite annoying.
She had to find an opportunity to take him out, so she depleted his strength first.
She didn’t believe that Zeus could act so recklessly forever; there must be some limitations.
Right then, the Shen Yan notifications that Su Fu had temporarily blocked began to broadcast again: [“World Announcement: The Penglai Immortal Ship is attacking the Olympus Map.”]
[“World Announcement: The Penglai Immortal Ship has arrived at the battlefield! Performing a map-wide cannon strike!:]
[“World Announcement: Cannon attack in progress! All maps are temporarily in a debuff state. Recovery ability -70%, may cause random regional collapses!”]
[“World Announcement: The Olympus Arena is being destroyed!”]
[“World Announcement: Olympus Map core destruction progress: 10%, 50%, 90%…”]
[“World Announcement: The Olympus Map core has been destroyed!”]
[“World Announcement: Olympus Map Achilles status: Heavily injured!”]
[“World Announcement: Olympus Map Achilles status: Near death!”]
[“World Announcement: Olympus Map Achilles has summoned the God King Zeus!”]
[“World Announcement: The Greek Pantheon’s Zeus Divine Manifestation has descended on the Olympus battlefield to personally confront the Penglai Immortal Ship!”]
[“World Announcement: God has brought down heavenly punishment! Thunderous Mightsl”]
[“World Announcement: The Penglai Immortal Ship successfully retreated from the battlefield^.”]
[“World Announcement: The God King’s wrath missed.”]
[“World Announcement: The Olympus Map has entered a collapse countdown: 23:59:59”]
[“World Announcement: Countdown started. It is estimated to be locked in one day, and entry paths will be permanently closed.”]
[“World Announcement: This broadcast is over.”]
The Test Takers of various maps watched the scrolling announcements, stunned into silence for a long time.
In less than ten minutes, the Olympus Map was… gone?
Even though the Divine Manifestation of a God had descended on the battlefield, it couldn’t be saved?
Simply absurd!
After the shock, the World Channel suddenly exploded.
[Holy crap! Is Olympus really gone?!]
[Hahaha, what goes around comes around! Let Achilles use that lightning of his to strike us every other day!]
[Hilarious. He was so smug before because he could strike the whole map, and now his home base has been leveled!]
[He brought it on himself! Serves him right! He used underhanded tricks before because we couldn’t roll a movement attribute, and now he’s reaping what he sowed!]
[Responding to the person above, it’s definitely gone. Didn’t you notice that the avatars of the Olympus Map Test Takers have all turned gray? I wonder what they’re going to do now?]
[Why do you care about their business? Anyway, we don’t have to worry about being struck by lightning in the middle of the night anymore. We can finally get a good night’s sleep!]
[Exactly! Finally, I don’t have to be woken up by lightning in the middle of the night! (Crying tears of joy.jpg)]
[@Achilles, come out and take a few steps? (This user is offline)]
[That’s so mean!!!]
While everyone was reveling in schadenfreude, someone suddenly asked a key question: [But how did Su Fu actually get over there? Did she roll a movement attribute?]
[@Penglai Test Takers, are there any Penglai Immortal Ship Test Takers who can come out and say a few words?]
[We flew there (^â–½^)]
[No, we “rowed” there!]
[To be precise, it was navigation.]
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they realized the last word of “Penglai Immortal Ship”—”Ship”?
[Is the word “ship” hard to understand?]
[Wait wait wait! No, you guys can really row it?!]
[Holy crap?! The “ship” in Penglai Immortal Ship isn’t a metaphor?]
[My God, are you saying that the Penglai Immortal Ship is actually a boat that can move?]
[I thought it was a fixed map! Like a floating island, and now you’re telling me you can run around everywhere?!]
[The question is… where can you row to? Could it be… any map in the world, you can row to?]
[Can you also freely travel between different maps?]
[Surprised? Unexpected?]
[Damn, that’s too terrifying!]
[Wait, everyone stop and listen to me! Everyone, have you thought of one thing?]
[I thought of it… the shadows… the shadows appearing in various places…]
[Oh God! So the shadows that occasionally appeared in the sky before were actually your Immortal Ship?]
[It floated over our ruins the day before yesterday too…]
[I thought it was a mirage…]
[Yeah, we had it here too! At the time, I thought it was weird…]
If people were laughing about Olympus being gone before, they were now only feeling a chill down their spines.
It turned out that the Penglai Immortal Ship had already traversed their territory back and forth countless times without them knowing, and they hadn’t noticed at all!
This meant they had brushed past the Grim Reaper countless times!
[So… so where is the Immortal Ship now?]
[I guess you want to ask: Who is the Immortal Ship’s next target?]
[My God, this is too terrifying!]
[We’re all stuck in place, but the Immortal Ship can run around everywhere. Doesn’t that mean it can silently wipe out any map here? Just like Olympus!]
As soon as this question was raised, the channel instantly split into two factions: the panic faction frantically @Su Fu to beg for mercy, while the pro-war faction clamored to shoot down the Immortal Ship.
[What are you afraid of! When she comes, we’ll focus on the fire!]
[Ha? Do you think you’re stronger than Achilles? That guy was backed by Zeus and he still got iced (Sneer.jpg)]
[Wait, there’s a more serious problem… even Zeus couldn’t keep Su Fu there?!]
[Not only that, Su Fu successfully escaped after taking out Olympus…]
[This is terrifying beyond belief. How did Su Fu handle Zeus?!]
Everyone’s scalp suddenly felt numb; the more they thought about it, the more horrifying it became!
They instantly realized that the untraceable Immortal Ship was a formidable enemy.
Even Olympus had been taken out by her. Who else could resist?
[Alliance! Alliance! Right now!]
[Sharing the latest research on the Immortal Ship for free: 1. Cross-map maneuverability 2. Extremely high stealth 3. Fire…]
[Wait, I’ve been reading for a while, where’s the weakness?]
[Does anyone still remember that Su Fu is a “map-exploding demon”…]
[…]
Su Fu watched the messages on the World Channel for a while before turning it off.
Panic, wariness, alliances—it was nothing more than these things.
So what if they feared her?
If they didn’t fear her, would they stop making a move against her?
Of course not.
This was a competitive map; the first to strike gained the upper hand, and the last to strike suffered disaster.
Achilles understood this logic, which was why he had bombarded the entire map.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Ship was currently immersed in the joy of victory.
The square was a sea of people, cheering and jumping, celebrating the win.
“We won!”
“We wiped them all out!”
“The map was blasted directly into dust!”
“The Penglai Immortal Ship is invincible!”
Someone even started a chant, shouting loudly, “General! General!”
More people joined in, the shouts rising and falling.
People held their hands high, the atmosphere intense.
Watching this scene, Xuan Ming felt a sense of shared glory.
He ran excitedly to find Su Fu: “General, everyone wants you to go down and say a few words!”
Su Fu originally wanted to refuse, but on second thought, this was the perfect time to unite the people’s hearts.
Only by uniting the military spirit could they continue to win.
“Fine, I’ll go.”
As soon as Su Fu appeared in the square, the crowd let out a thunderous cheer.
Countless pairs of bright eyes stared at her, filled with admiration and awe.
“Ahem.” Su Fu slightly raised her hand.
The originally noisy square instantly became silent.
Everyone was waiting for her to speak; any words would do.
“Today,” Su Fu’s voice wasn’t loud, but it spread clearly across the entire square, “we proved that the Immortal Ship cannot be insulted.”
The crowd suddenly felt a shiver.
Yes, they had struck the enemy and defended the Immortal Ship!
“What the cannons shattered was not just the enemy,” Su Fu looked at everyone, “but also the covetousness others had for my Immortal Ship!”
“This expedition has successfully raised the prestige of our Immortal Ship!”
“But this is only the beginning.” Su Fu suddenly raised her volume, “From this day forth, the Penglai Immortal Ship shall patrol the four seas!”
“I hereby guarantee to you all: as long as the Immortal Ship remains, Su Fu remains!”
“Those who offend my Immortal Ship— Shall be punished no matter how far they are!”
“Punished regardless of distance!” the crowd shouted in unison, their spirits surging with immense pride!
***
At the edge of the crowded square, in the Immortal Ship’s corridor, three Test Takers watched the wild celebration.
One leaned against the railing with a casual expression; one had their arms crossed; and another stood ramrod straight.
Their gaze passed over the passionate ship citizens and landed directly on Su Fu in the center of the square.
After a long time, one of them whispered, “Punished regardless of distance…”
No one replied.
That voice drifted and disappeared into the wind.
The afterglow of the sunset shone on their faces, revealing an expression that seemed like nostalgia, yet mixed with several unspeakable emotions.
***
Meanwhile, at the Norse Pantheon · Rainbow Bridge Rift.
Olaf, Eric, and Erika looked at the discussions in the World Channel and exchanged glances.
They came from the Central Core Galaxy and knew more internal details than the ordinary Test Takers on the World Channel.
For example, Zeus favored Achilles quite a bit, even more than many Divine Summoners in the core galaxy.
“So, in this situation, Su Fu could still take out Olympus? Zeus didn’t strike her dead on the spot?” Olaf muttered.
“The point is, the God King…” Erika’s voice trembled slightly, “That’s Zeus, the Lord of the Greek Gods. She dared to hit His Divine Summoner like that… and the most favored one at that…”
They didn’t dare to imagine how angry Zeus must be.
The more the three talked, the more their scalps felt numb.
Olaf remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, “She really is explosively fierce!”
“The God King won’t let her off,” Eric said with certainty, “If she dares to appear again, the God King might personally take action to deal with her.”
“True.”
“Anyway, we must immediately raise the alert for the entire map!” Olaf said solemnly, “She’s like a time bomb. Maybe the next one she explodes will be us! We must ensure we survive until the God King acts to finish her!”
Just thinking about the possibility of Su Fu coming to blow them up made the three of them break into a cold sweat.
It was as if they could already see the scene of their map being destroyed—the fire reaching the sky, the earth trembling, and everything turning to ash…
“God King, please hurry up and discipline her!”
“This is way too troublesome!”
