Chapter 596: The True Body of the Waves Lord, the Scene of Betrayal (3)

Lord of the Waves urged in a commanding tone.
However, the Giant Turtle did not act as he had imagined. Instead, it spoke to the human.
“Human, how about we make a deal?”
Ji Chen was puzzled, furrowing his brows, unsure of what the Giant Turtle had in mind.
Nevertheless, he asked, “What kind of deal?”
“I will help you eliminate Victor’s army, and in return, you will use the power of the ocean to lift the curse from me.”
Both Ji Chen and the Lord of the Waves were left dumbfounded.
The Lord of the Waves was the first to react, speaking with incredulity, “Giant Turtle, what are you saying? This human is our enemy! How can you help him kill my army?”
The Giant Turtle’s voice was deep and slow, much like its long lifespan, as it explained, “Victor, my life force has been suppressed by the curse for far too long. The curse has deeply marked my body, causing me immense suffering and agony, pushing me closer to the end of my life.
For thousands of years, you have indeed been diligently searching for the power of the ocean, but all your efforts have been in vain. You were even driven out of the Death Sea, and you can’t even defeat a human from the outside ocean. You are simply too weak.
I no longer have the time or patience to wait for you. 1 must seize this rare opportunity.”
The Lord of the Waves’ expression shifted from shock to astonishment, then anger, and finally, humiliation.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: the Giant Turtle had betrayed him, all because of a human, and in front of everyone!
Especially the words, “You have tried hard, but it’s all in vain” and “You are too weak,” cut deep into his heart, reopening wounds he didn’t want to talk about.
This made the Lord of the Waves fume with rage, and he was on the verge of grinding his teeth.
However, the Giant Turtle paid no further attention to him and turned to Ji Chen once again.
“How about this deal?”
Having witnessed this rather dramatic betrayal unfolding before him, Ji Chen shook his head at the proposition.
“The stakes in this trade aren’t equal. I can deal with these sea clan soldiers without your help.”
The Giant Turtle’s tone grew slightly more urgent.
“Then what are your conditions?”
Ji Chen smiled faintly. “1 don’t need your assistance in dealing with these sea clan soldiers. Instead, I propose that you enter into a master-servant contract with me and serve me for a hundred years.”
A gigantic turtle, with a body akin to a small island, held tremendous strategic value, and it was indeed worth subduing.
After only a moment of hesitation, the giant turtle nodded its massive head and said, “I agree to your terms.”
A hundred years might seem incredibly long, but for him, as long as he could break free from the curse of the gods, he could live for another ten thousand years. He had already endured a thousand years; what difference would a mere hundred years make?
As soon as the words were spoken, the giant turtle vigorously shook its body. The violent tremors caused the camp and the towering structures on its shell to collapse with a resounding crash. Even the Lord of the Waves, caught off guard, tumbled down and fell awkwardly into the sea.
Following this, the giant turtle stepped aside, showing no intention of further interference.
Ji Chen nodded, looking at the Lord of the Waves, who had landed on the sea’s surface, and a faint smile crept across his face.
You, the little pretender, who got expelled from the Death Sea like a stray dog, thought you could rule and dominate here, huh?
Did you actually think there were no tigers in the mountains, allowing the monkeys to proclaim themselves as kings?
Seeing the genuine smile on Ji Chen’s face, the Lord of the Waves shivered and began to reconsider his choices.
In a deep voice, he said, “Human, I will no longer intrude into your territory, and I will no longer seek your ocean power. Let me leave.”
Ji Chen responded with a mocking expression as if he had just heard a joke. He didn’t say much and began to channel his magic.
Inside the mind of the Lord of the Waves, alarm bells rang loudly. He just thought of driving the seawater to escape when, in the next moment, one hand made of condensed water seized his head, while another hand held a blade that pierced through his chest.
AHH
The Lord of the Waves let out a painful scream. In his struggle, he spat out a blue crystal. The crystal shimmered, and he disappeared from his current location, reappearing several kilometers away.
The Lord of the Waves had no time to rest; he endured the intense pain and used the seawater to swiftly move away from the area.
“That damned human! He will pay for this!”
Ji Chen watched the Lord of the Waves rapidly fleeing and couldn’t help but be stunned. The Lord had just abandoned his entire army and teleported away?
However, Ji Chen didn’t pursue him. He simply watched with a cold smile.
As the Lord of the Waves fled, several massive serrated suction cup tentacles suddenly shot out along his escape route, tightly binding him. Following that, a gigantic octopus head emerged from the water.
Squelch—
The Kraken looked smug as it gazed at the bound Lord of the Waves, emitting a joyful cry..
