The moment Selma and Paul reached an agreement, Ed knew that Mahamadou had no chance.

Not a single Pirate King could defeat Paul, who possessed both the Siren and the Sea Monster.

Even three Pirate Kings combined wouldn’t suffice, unless the Sea God was reborn, or they found the Trident of the Sea God to break Jansen’s seal.

But Paul and Selma, those two merry souls, were already scheming to create a fake Trident of the Sea God to prevent Jansen from obtaining the power of the Sea God.

To be honest.

Ed saw no hope of victory.

The real world is not a legend, Mahamadou is not an immortal hero of justice, just as Roland Swan was suddenly beheaded by Paul, they couldn’t possibly defeat a super villain.

So.

Ed naturally betrayed Mahamadou deep down again, willingly becoming Paul’s glorious general, preserving the Stone of Glory for him.

Despite the fear he felt for this, he didn’t care at all…

…

Holding the Dragon Sword, Du Ge felt an unparalleled power within him, he even thought he could lift Encke in the sea.

The immense power was almost on par with the last Simulation Field.

It must be said.

The power of the dragon was truly formidable.

The Stone of Glory, on the other hand, didn’t seem to feel much; it would probably only come into play when faced with negative effects, after all, this world has artifacts and all sorts of witchcraft…

According to the normal development of the story.

Selma’s equipment should have been given to the natives, to increase their strength to fight against the candidates, or some lucky candidate would have encountered Selma and traded for the artifact, thereby competing for a top ten position in the Simulation Field.

But now.

Under the powerful influence of the skill “Fishing in Troubled Waters,” all this equipment belonged to himself.

He wondered what those watching the live broadcast outside would think?

Whether they felt an urge to end the Simulation Field immediately…

But Du Ge didn’t care about that.

He turned to Martha with a smile: “My good friend Martha, would you like to keep the Substitute Puppet for me and become the most powerful goddess before the throne of gods?”

“I do not wish to.” Martha coldly refused, she lifted the cloak from her head, angrily looking at Du Ge, “Paul, you’ve changed. You clearly had the chance to become the King of Pirates, but look at what you’ve become now? You’re like a charlatan pretending to be a god, you even want to prevent Jansen from obtaining the power of the Sea God, what are you thinking, do you know what kind of chaos this world would be in without the Sea God to maintain order?”

“…” Du Ge was stunned, looking at Martha strangely, “Why are you so angry? Even if Jansen gets the Trident of the Sea God, you won’t benefit from it, and with my powerful strength, we can kill Mahamadou and avenge you!”

“I…” Martha choked, unable to speak, she glared fiercely at Selma, “Give it up, I won’t trade with her, a witch must maintain her integrity, and absolutely not sell her soul.”

Selma watched the little witch with interest, then glanced at Du Ge, surprised for a moment, a mysterious smile crossing her lips, yet she said nothing.

“Martha, now that I have gained Selma’s friendship, why not divine my fate again before making a decision, didn’t you say that fate can be changed?” Du Ge pointed at the crystal ball in Martha’s arms, smiling with a suggestion.

Martha glanced at Du Ge, indeed sat down on the ground, and began chanting spells.

The crystal ball lit up, then went out.

Martha suddenly froze, staring at Du Ge, full of disbelief.

“What did you see?” Du Ge asked.

“The Sea God.” Martha said blankly, “In the vision, you were holding the Trident of the Sea God, using the power of the Sea God.”

Barry and Ed were both stunned at the same time.

At this moment.

They suddenly felt that their choice was not wrong.

If Paul was the reincarnation of the Sea God, then everything made sense.

Everything they did was worth it.

Compared to the Sea God, the King of Pirates was really nothing, and the Sea God indeed had the qualifications to be a merry soul.

The Sea Monster Encke excitedly waved its tentacles, as if proclaiming to the world that Paul was truly the reincarnation of the Sea God, and it was right.

Selma looked at Du Ge thoughtfully.

Du Ge gave an awkward smile: “Selma, don’t listen to her nonsense, she probably doesn’t want me to become a merry soul, so she changed the divined fate to stir up trouble between us.”

“I did not.” Martha’s face flushed, “I swear on my honor, I did not, I really saw that vision.”

“It’s okay, Paul.” Selma smiled, “You becoming the Sea God is much better than Jansen becoming the Sea God. Besides, the scales of fate do not err, you promised to give your body to me, so one day, it will all come true. Just thinking about adding the body of a Sea God to my collection excites me immensely.”

“Shall we continue our deal?” Du Ge breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, “I still have several loyal subordinates…”

“Paul, don’t be too greedy.” Selma looked at Du Ge, shaking her head, “Fate is fair, it won’t concentrate all the good things on one person. What you’ve got is already plenty. When you’re strong enough, there’s no fun to speak of. And my collection isn’t as vast as you imagine, I still need to leave some for those who seek children with heavy gold.”

“Alright then!”

Du Ge didn’t insist, holding the Dragon Sword, wearing the Stone of Glory, if someone could still kill him, then the Substitute Puppet wouldn’t be of much use.

If they could kill him once, they could kill him twice.

Moreover.

If the equipment was taken by the opponent, he would have even less chance of winning.

“Paul, my dear partner, I must leave now, to prepare the fake Trident of the Sea God.” Selma glanced past the witch Martha, smiling at Du Ge, “I look forward to the day when you pick up the Trident of the Sea God and truly become the Sea God. A mortal ascending to become the Sea God, that would be the happiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Having said that…Selma flipped over and dove into the sea, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

“Stupid woman.” Watching Selma disappear, Martha couldn’t help but murmur, then turned her head back to Du Ge, “Paul, if one day you get the Trident of the Sea God, would you really use it yourself instead of giving it to Janssen? Don’t you want to see Janssen break the seal and become the new Sea God?”

No way!

No way!

Du Ge looked at the unusual Martha and a strange thought inexplicably emerged in his mind. He frowned at Martha, “Martha, why do I feel that you’re acting out of character today, always speaking in favor of Janssen? Are you close with her?”

“I’ve never even met her. I just feel sympathy for her plight. Sealed by her father’s power, she’s lived like a mortal for many years. Don’t you think she’s pitiable?” Martha looked at Du Ge, her expression downcast, “Paul, we’re both women. Shouldn’t women help each other?”

Busted!

This one is not a candidate, this one is Janssen!

No wonder she knew about the Sea of Fate map, no wonder she could have escaped but chose to help Mahamadou collect the Sea of Fate map…

It’s all for her own benefit!

Holy moly!

I’ve actually gathered three big shots.

Du Ge was ecstatic in his heart.

Who else?

Sea witches, sea monsters, daughters of the Sea God, they’re all fish in my net…

What do you have to compare with me?

“That’s right, Martha, women should help women.” Du Ge looked at Martha earnestly, “Although I’m seriously creating happiness, I also need someone to check Selma. So, if I really get the Trident of the Sea God, I will definitely give it to Janssen to help her regain her divine power.”

“Really?” Martha’s eyes gradually lit up.

“Of course.” Du Ge shrugged nonchalantly, proudly saying, “A person who pursues happiness all their life, wouldn’t you want to see the expression on Selma’s face when she sees Janssen regain the power of the Sea God?”
