The elder's expression changed abruptly at the sight.
“You have plundered the Sea God's authority and usurped the body of the Whale God.”
The eyeballs did not respond. Instead, they flowed off the Whale God like liquid, spreading across the sea's surface in a dense, endless carpet of crimson.
The divinity within the elder boiled as he pressed his hand downward.
Boom!
Countless eyeballs exploded, turning into streaks of blood that merged into the ocean.
There were so many eyeballs that the sea itself turned into a sea of blood!
Gurgle, gurgle...
The eyeballs began to merge and entwine, gradually taking on a humanoid shape. It grew taller and taller, eventually reaching a height of a hundred meters, looking down at the elder from above.
“We need sacrifices! We need believers!”
Its voice was bizarre—muffled and indistinct, yet its meaning was perfectly clear.
“It seems you are the culprit behind the destruction of Huanggang!”
The elder covered his body in divinity. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and bolts of lightning flickered within them.
“I’ve searched far and wide for you, only to find you right where I stood!”
Boom!
A bolt of lightning struck instantly, charring several eyeballs and sending them sinking into the sea.
However, such a wound was negligible to the eyeball giant.
“We need sacrifices! We need believers!”
The elder gave a cold laugh, and a phantom image rose behind him, reaching a height of a thousand feet!
The Thousand-Eyed Evil God, previously like a giant, looked like a child before this phantom.
The phantom wore heavy armor and held paired maces. Its killing intent was so thick it had practically materialized!
The eyeballs on the sea surface stared fixedly at the phantom giant, their gaze growing increasingly greedy.
The elder followed the Executioner pathway and possessed the ability of Weakness Perception.
He narrowed his eyes, and numerous red dots lit up on the Thousand-Eyed Evil God—the weak points he had identified.
Whoosh!
The phantom behind him swung its paired maces directly at the target!
Boom!
The blow landed squarely, causing ripples to surge across the Thousand-Eyed Evil God's body. Eyeballs fell from it like rain.
The goat-bearded elder did not relax his guard. The phantom's maces flew up and down, battering the Thousand-Eyed Evil God into a smaller and smaller form.
Yet, those eyeballs were actually parasitizing his maces!
“Hmph!”
The elder snorted coldly and rubbed the maces against each other. With a thunderous roar, the maces began to burn fiercely like two massive torches.
“Screeeech!”
The eyeballs shrieked as they fell off, burning to ash before they could even hit the water.
Boom!
The maces struck the Thousand-Eyed Evil God once more, the damage even more devastating this time.
But just as he planned to press the attack, waves surged from the sea. The blood-red seawater transformed into tentacles covered in suckers, coiling toward the maces.
Sizzle!
The flames roasted the seawater, releasing clouds of steam that shrouded the entire area, making it impossible to see one's own hand.
The goat-bearded elder looked solemn. He formed a hand seal with his right hand and blew forward.
The thousand-foot phantom mirrored the action, exhaling a chilling gale that blew all the steam away.
Whoosh!
Several more tentacles emerged from the sea, reaching for the phantom.
Countless marine creatures died from the shockwaves of their battle, their bodies ground into dust and sinking to the seabed to become food for others.
“You have stolen the Sea God's authority!”
The goat-bearded elder’s face turned grim. The Sea God's authority was supposed to have been taken by the Whale God, but now it had been snatched by this ghostly thing.
“We need sacrifices, we need believers!”
The Thousand-Eyed Evil God seemed capable of saying only that one sentence. Its massive body gradually sank into the ocean, and the waters became even more violent.
As waves rose one after another, tentacles of seawater lashed out at the goat-bearded elder.
“Since you’ve parasitized the Whale God, then you shall take its place and become it!”
The elder’s expression was ugly as his attacks became increasingly ruthless.
The killing intent from the phantom behind him pierced deep into the ocean, leaving wounds that even the sea could not heal.
But as the fight continued, he suddenly felt an itch on his neck. He reached back to touch it and felt a sharp pain, as if he had touched an eye.
“Hmm?”
The intense itching spread across his entire body. The elder's face became incredibly dark.
He had been parasitized!
...
Mangliang City.
Since the previous incident, Su Baadao had gained significant popularity in Mangliang City.
A series of subsequent interviews had further solidified his reputation as a man of the people.
In the first interview, Su Baadao wore a hard hat at a construction site in the South District, pointing and cursing at a contractor.
“I approved so much money for you, and you use this junk material to fool me?”
“I’m telling you! Give back every cent of Mangliang City’s money before tonight, or believe me when I say you won't be walking out of this city!”
“Dammit, you look like an honest man, but who knew you were full of such schemes?”
When this video was released, the people of Mangliang City were stunned.
In their memory, high-and-mighty officials were always refined and aloof. Since when did they point at people’s noses and curse them out?
And his words spoke directly to the hearts of the people.
In the second interview, Su Baadao was spotted buying groceries at a morning market.
The reporter asked curiously, “Mr. Su, with your status, do you still have to come out and buy groceries yourself? Where is your secretary?”
Hearing this, Su Baadao looked annoyed.
“What about the secretary? Is a secretary not a human being? Don't they have off-hours?”
“I’m a leader when I’m at work, but I’m just an ordinary person when I’m off. They have their own lives. Why should they revolve around me twenty-four hours a day?”
“Besides, it's not like I don't have hands or feet. Why do I need someone to wait on me for everything?”
Once this news broke, the favorability of workers and white-collar employees toward Su Baadao skyrocketed!
Only they knew how rare it was to have normal working hours.
But the thing that completely changed everyone's perception of Su Baadao was the third interview.
That time, Su Baadao went to the countryside for an inspection. When he found that the drinking water for the villagers was cloudy, his expression changed instantly.
He ignored the attempts of those around him to stop him and took a large gulp himself, then immediately turned around and started swearing.
Although the audio was bleeped out, one could tell just by looking at his mouth that his level of profanity was incredibly high.
He was red in the face with rage as he pointed at the local leaders and shouted.
“Seven days!”
“I’ll be back in seven days. If the villagers are still drinking this kind of water, every single one of you can pack your bags and scram!!”
It was such a simple video that it firmly established Su Baadao as an official of the people in the eyes of Mangliang City.
And he didn't break his word. Seven days later, he returned to the countryside. He was only satisfied once he saw that the drinking water met the standards. Before leaving, he even promised to build roads for the villagers.
At that time, a reporter interviewed him.
“Mr. Su, didn't you say the focus of development would be on the South District? Is there still spare money to build roads?”
Hearing this, Su Baadao’s expression became very serious.
“Of course!”
“Why?”
“Because I’m not corrupt!”
