Volume 1 Chapter 1 Unexpected Disaster

A group of dulinfish swam in the deep blue sea, darting left and right, up and down, happily chasing plankton and small fish for food.

Dulinfish are mid-to-lower-level creatures in the ocean; their flesh is delicious and a favorite food of many larger creatures.

A tiger shark charged in, scattering the school of fish: the dulinfish have very keen senses; they sensed the tiger shark's movements from afar, and before it arrived, the dulinfish scattered and disappeared into the vast ocean.

The tiger shark's efforts were in vain; it swam around, hoping to find another meal.

A silent wave came, and the tiger shark looked around warily. It sensed a huge wave coming from one direction, and a colossal creature was crashing through the waves, its intense pressure intimidating every creature nearby. The tiger shark

sheepishly dived into the deep sea, avoiding this unknown thing.

The deep blue sea churned, splashing up crystal-clear waves, and a colossal vessel indeed cleaved through the waves, sailing steadily towards them.

This was an unimaginably massive ship, like an island floating on the sea. The waves it created terrified all the marine life in the surrounding area, their instincts sensing the danger posed by this behemoth.

This colossal ship, known as the "Floating City," belonged to the Ponte Empire. It was unique in the world; the largest ships in the world were less than a tenth of its size, or even less than a hundredth.

This giant ship, named "Goddess of Dawn," originated from ancient ruins. Having endured countless ages, this colossal vessel remained perfectly preserved, even capable of safe voyages time and again. Ancient ruins are a mysterious existence in this world, relics from an immeasurably ancient past. The ancient ruins possessed by the Ponte Empire are this colossal ship, as vast as an island, and the docks that house it. However, the only benefit the Ponte Empire derives from them is an unprecedented boom in its tourism industry.

According to the doctrines of the Church of Light, which has the largest number of followers on the continent, ancient ruins are gifts from the gods to humankind. After the distant war of the gods, these remaining ruins will provide convenience and guidance for future generations. The accuracy of this claim is impossible to verify, but there is ample evidence to support the fact that ancient ruins offer practical value.

For example, the Southern and Northern Siluo Federations are among the wealthiest nations on the continent, yet they lack abundant local products and mineral resources. Their sole source of income is the production of products that have become wildly popular throughout the continent using an ancient ruin called the Nylon Manufacturing Machine. This thing called "stockings" fascinated almost every woman, even those of non-human races. Within a week of its appearance, stocking sales reached an astonishing figure. Even the ascetic clergy of various religions were captivated by this novel and wondrous item.

Now, over seven hundred years later, its popularity remains undiminished, allowing the Northern and Southern Siluo Federation to amass a vast fortune. This demonstrates the immense

benefits brought by ancient ruins. However, not all ancient ruins bring benefits like the Nylon Manufacturing Machine or the Goddess of Dawn; many bring disaster. The most sensational was the Aranja Temple incident. After

the discovery and use of the Nylon Manufacturing Machine, almost every nation invested in the excavation and use of ancient ruins. But clearly, these nations did not have the same good fortune as the Siluo Federation. The most unfortunate was the Saipan Empire, a powerful continental power at the time.

As the search for ancient ruins erupted, an ancient site known as the Temple of Aranga was discovered near the capital of Saipan. The overjoyed Emperor of Saipan naturally ordered a full-scale excavation. The excavation of this ancient site proceeded swiftly, but the empire of Saipan collapsed just as quickly. A sudden, massive explosion reduced the capital to ashes, killing the inhabitants along with their emperor. The blast affected an area of two hundred kilometers around the capital, killing hundreds of thousands. Worse still, a terrible plague swept through an area exceeding a thousand kilometers, causing countless deaths. Many more succumbed to illness and lost their health. The Saipan Empire declined, becoming a weak nation, and eventually disintegrated. Much of Saipan's original territory—the vast lands affected by the explosion of the Temple of Aranga—slowly became deserted, eventually transforming into the terrifying and forgotten Plains of Oblivion.

Because of this serious incident, the craze for finding and utilizing ancient ruins came to an end. No one wanted another Aranja Temple incident to happen to them: these mysterious and dangerous ancient ruins were best left to lie there quietly, undisturbed.

In comparison, the Ponte Empire was much luckier. The Dawn Goddess, this behemoth, brought them considerable income, making it another source of revenue besides the Ponte Empire's unparalleled fishing industry. Uncle Lei Feng loves you all…

Although the full potential of this ancient ruin has not yet been discovered, the Dawn Goddess can automatically navigate along a safe route. This route passes through almost all the most beautiful places in the Ponte Empire's outer seas, such as the crystal-clear, stunningly beautiful Cargill Beach, the treacherous Prussian Strait, the terrifying Black Devil's Whirlpool, the adorable white dolphin belt, and the Cape of Tropic of Cap-Tropez, also known as the Horn of the Continent… Especially when passing through the Black Devil's Whirlpool, known as a death trap, the scene was simply spectacular.

The Black Devil's Whirlpool is a true death trap, spanning at least several kilometers in radius. The deep blue seawater, propelled by the whirlpool's power, spins rapidly, turning a terrifying deep black. It tears anything that enters its range to shreds. The name "land of death" is entirely fitting, and the trap's name is also meaningful. At the whirlpool's edge lives a fish called the tigertail fish. This fish has incredibly delicious flesh, which, after processing, can be made into delectable dishes. Furthermore, its tail can be used to make a potent aphrodisiac. The

tigertail fish possesses a unique ability: it can resist the whirlpool's powerful suction. Ordinary objects, once approaching a certain distance from the whirlpool, struggle to escape its immense pull until they are sucked in and pulverized. However, the tigertail fish's tail can swing at extremely high speeds, enough to counteract the suction, allowing it to swim freely and forage at the whirlpool's edge.

With such high value, tigerfish naturally became a sought-after commodity, even exceeding the value of gold of the same weight. Driven by profit, many fishermen risked their lives to catch tigerfish at the edge of the Devil's Whirlpool, but the vast majority perished, swallowed by the terrifying whirlpool. Perhaps only one in a hundred returned safely and successfully caught a tigerfish. Therefore, the Devil's Whirlpool was a huge trap, a trap filled with extremely high profits.

However, although the Black Devil's Whirlpool was terrifying, it was like an insignificant pond in front of the Dawn Goddess. When the Dawn Goddess's route passed through the Devil's Whirlpool, the massive floating island was like a fearless giant striding over a small pond, forcefully passing over the edge of the whirlpool each time. The whirlpool that terrified fishermen was always compressed into a smaller whirlpool by the giant ship. This was also the best time of the month to catch tigerfish, because the power of the Devil's Whirlpool was reduced to its lowest point, and the threat was correspondingly minimized. Unfortunately, the Dawn Goddess's voyage schedule is fixed. It automatically sets sail when the Groot Moon rises each month and automatically returns to the dock fourteen days later when the Groot Moon sets, repeating the cycle with remarkable precision. If this weren't the case, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ponte Empire would have long ago ordered his elite warriors to board the ships and set sail to plunder coastal cities around the world.

The true size of the Goddess of Dawn was unknown except to Emperor Ponte; all that was known was that it lived up to its name as a maritime city, carrying tens of thousands of passengers on each voyage and earning the Ponte Empire a fortune in gold coins.

On this particular day, the Goddess of Dawn began its voyage as usual.

Darkness began to fall, not because it was evening—in fact, it was only a little after dinner, still within daylight. This was caused by a thick, low-hanging black cloud pressing down, completely obscuring the sky.

The weather at sea was so unpredictable; not long ago the sky was clear and cloudless, and suddenly it was completely different. Experienced seafarers knew this was a sign of an approaching storm, and a particularly terrifying one at that. Encountering such a storm often meant certain death, or even no hope of survival at all. Within the storm's vast area, there was no safe place; perhaps only the deep sea offered any respite.

But for the Goddess of Dawn, even raging storms posed no threat. The massive ancient ruins were impervious to any storm; even the most powerful storms couldn't cause it to shake violently.

For the passengers, being able to be in the middle of an incredibly powerful and terrifying storm yet remain completely unaffected was a rare sight. Therefore, many passengers stood on the Goddess of Dawn's deck, enjoying the sight of the surging waves and towering billows surrounding the ship. Normally, such an experience was extremely rare; without the Goddess of Dawn's "Sea God's Protection," anyone daring to stand there would have long been swept away by the storm to some unknown place.

"Sea God's Protection" is the common term, referring to the sky-blue transparent light screen that the Goddess of Dawn would deploy when encountering danger during its voyage. It's somewhat similar to a magician's divine barrier, but its protective power far surpasses that of a divine barrier. When this light screen, known as Sea God's Protection, is deployed, even the largest waves and attacks cannot harm or affect the Goddess of Dawn.

The Poseidon shield emitted a faint blue light, appearing so delicate it would shatter at the slightest touch, yet it was actually as solid as a rock. No matter how fierce the storm, the shield remained unshaken, eliciting gasps of amazement from passengers experiencing this spectacle for the first time.

Not all passengers chose to witness the rare raging storm. The space was filled with strange sounds, making it a perfect time for conversation, eliminating the possibility of eavesdropping. In

a cabin, a conversation was underway.

One was a handsome young man with an extraordinary air, around thirty years old—very young for a human with an average lifespan of 150 years. He was of medium height, not tall, but possessed a certain awe-inspiring presence. The other was a woman, her first impression one of cold elegance. Her tall, slender figure was shrouded in black, making the room seem even darker.

The young man paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly, he stopped and asked, "Hesina, what do you suggest we do?"

The woman called Hesina answered without hesitation, "Your Highness, you know about Princess Stephanie's behavior. It's an open secret among the upper echelons of every country. Her demands are difficult to refuse, and if you obtain her promise, it will be extremely beneficial to you in the future."

Hesina emphasized the word "future," and the young man, with his intelligence, wouldn't have missed her point.

The young man's eyes flashed, and he looked at Hesina without speaking.

His loyal confidante, understanding her master's character, knew this meant she should continue. Hesina continued to offer her suggestions.

"Although Princess Stephanie's personal behavior is rather... well, she is a woman of her word. If you can satisfy her, your power will be greatly enhanced. Of course, we cannot ignore your... deep affection for Miss Dale, so I think it would be better to find someone to replace her."

"Find someone to replace her?" The young man showed great interest. "Tell me, how do you want to replace her? You need to understand the key points here. If you are discovered, the consequences will be difficult to bear."

Hearing that her master did not blame her for her audacity, Hesina immediately perked up, and she then explained her idea.

"We can find someone who looks very similar to Your Highness and have him go to see Princess Stephanie in your place. I noticed someone among the passengers who looks a lot like you, but he lacks your imperial aura. With some special disguise, he should be able to pass for you. Although you are very famous, only those very close to you are qualified to approach you, so it's easy to fool people. Besides, that person seems to be just an ordinary commoner, and I didn't see him with any companions. It should be easy to handle."

The young man smiled, then the smile turned into a bitter laugh.

"The dignified Eighth Prince of the Ponte Empire, Locke Philo, is actually being forced to have a one-night stand with a famous harlot! What's even more ridiculous is that he has to find someone to take his place. How helpless!" His tone was full of self-mockery.

"Your Highness, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. Today's helplessness is for tomorrow's strength and power!"

Locke Philo abruptly stopped, looking at Hesina. "You're right. Tomorrow's strength and power are the most important things. The one who laughs last is the true victor. Go, and take good care of that kid. Remember, the 'cleanup' must be done well!"

"Yes, I understand. By the way, Your Highness, I still need you to explain things to the Black Wizard so she can cooperate." Hesina knew what he meant by "taking care of him" and "cleaning up the mess." After receiving his affirmative agreement, she bowed and left the room. At that moment, the first bolt of lightning struck the sky, followed by rolling thunder, seemingly foreshadowing an unsettling night.

Each Dawn Goddess carries at least tens of thousands of passengers, but not all of them are nobles or wealthy individuals. Many are commoners. Some board the Dawn Goddess specifically to serve the nobility, some see the business opportunities and seek greater profits, and others, like Zonny Franklin, board to take advantage of the chaos.

Zonny is handsome, dignified, and elegant, appearing quite upright on the surface. However, he is actually a cunning and treacherous man, though intelligent. He uses his intelligence only for scheming and plotting; otherwise, he might have already risen to prominence.

Zonny could be considered to come from a noble family; the Franklin family is even one of the oldest families on the continent. But glory doesn't last forever, and no family can live in honor forever. Perhaps a thousand years ago, perhaps two thousand years ago, perhaps even longer, the Franklin family ceased to be a noble family; each generation was a commoner, and the lineage was passed down through a single son. Zone's great-grandfather's generation was once a minor noble family, but the saying "wealth doesn't last three generations" proved most aptly true for the Franklin family. By his grandfather's generation, the family's fortunes had begun to decline again, and Zone was now the only surviving member of the Franklin family. He was now merely an unsuccessful small businessman, his wealth barely enough to cover a single meal for the nobles.

On the verge of destitution, Zone decided to take a gamble. He spent all his money on a ticket to the Aurora Borealis, hoping this desperate act would bring a turning point to his future.

"Looking back now, perhaps this decision was absolutely right!" Zoni thought smugly. He now had at least three money pouches in his pocket, and judging by their weight, they contained at least fifty gold coins. This had already recouped his investment in the trip; he had essentially taken a free ride on the Dawn Goddess. Any further gains would be pure profit.

Zoni was cunning, but not stupid. These money pouches came from several different people, all of whom appeared to be commoners or merchants. While nobles carried more coins, stealing from them could have serious consequences, and Zoni didn't want to lose his life because of his momentary greed.

The nobles on the Goddess of Dawn were as numerous as hairs on a cow. There were seven or eight with titles of princess or prince alone, not to mention kings, ministers, and various nobles. Among them, the most famous was Princess Stephanie, hailed as one of the ten most beautiful women on the continent. It was said that this princess not only possessed unparalleled beauty but also had a renowned reputation for allure. Many men fantasized about spending a night with this beauty, even if it meant dying for her.

Of course, someone of Zoni's rank had no chance of meeting Princess Stephanie, or even seeing any nobles of higher status. His only concern was not stealing from the wrong person; he would be unlucky to steal from a noble dressed in ordinary clothes. Fortunately, Zoni had a keen eye for detail. He could analyze the approximate identity and status of his targets from the smallest details, allowing him to act with great care.

"Ten days until we return, plenty of time to make a fortune! I'm so lucky this time! Hehe!" Zoni chuckled inwardly, but he maintained a nonchalant expression, swaggering past the unfortunate souls who had lost their purses.

Back in his room, Zoni immediately slammed the door shut and eagerly emptied his purse of gold and silver coins, counting them over and over again, a satisfied smile spreading across his face each time. Although he was only staying in a very ordinary cabin, in Zoni's eyes it was now a luxurious palace.

"Bang! Bang!" A knock suddenly sounded at the door. Zoni shuddered. He hurriedly gathered his coins and nervously opened the door: he was terrified that the guys who had lost their money would come looking for him—that would be a disaster!

Zoni was confident in his cleanliness and efficiency, and theoretically, he shouldn't have been discovered. However, he couldn't think of any other explanation for the knocking. As an economy class passenger, he shouldn't be the one being called, and besides, he didn't know anyone here.

"Who are you?" Zoni was completely surprised that the person knocking was a woman—a stunningly beautiful woman. Her mature and alluring figure was like the most tempting fruit, arousing all the imagination. Although she was fully covered, with almost no skin exposed, her curvaceous figure only amplified the allure, making one wish they could peek through the fabric at the beautiful scenery beneath.

Zoni's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Cunning and treacherous, selfish and suspicious, lustful and greedy were his hallmarks. Seeing such a beautiful and voluptuous woman naturally awakened the budding desire within him, especially since this woman possessed an exceptional appearance that would make any normal man drool.

Her exquisitely curvaceous body was perfectly proportioned, with ample breasts that seemed about to burst—a sight that would make one's nose bleed. She wore a long dress, and although her thighs weren't visible, the graceful curves suggested the exquisite sensation of those long, slender legs pressed against her waist.

Though desire surged within him, and his lower body may have felt engorged and swollen, Zoni dared not act rashly, not even revealing the slightest lecherous expression. He noticed that while the woman's attire appeared ordinary, the fabric was anything but. If he wasn't mistaken, it was made of expensive cloud-woven brocade, a highly prized silk brought back from remote southern islands by merchants traveling the ancient Silk Road. Even a nobleman couldn't afford it; only high-ranking nobles with vast wealth and power were entitled to it. Clearly, this woman was no ordinary person, and offending her could very well bring him death.

Zoni's demeanor immediately became respectful, almost staring straight ahead. His earnestness made him appear like a perfect gentleman, and his acting was superb; a hint of doubt and surprise in his eyes alone was enough to make him a brilliant actor.

"Hello! How can I help you?"

The alluring woman flashed a sweet and charming smile. "Congratulations, I am the Black Wizard Yadanlu. Welcome to the psychedelic world."

"What? Ah..." Zoni immediately felt his vision go black. His eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
Chapter 2 of the First Episode: Substitution

"Ouch!" Zoni's consciousness awoke from his slumber. The drowsy feeling hadn't dissipated, and he felt as exhausted as if he had slept for three days and three nights straight. He shook his head, trying his best to clear his head.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" A melodious voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Your Highness? You've mistaken me for someone else?" Although Zoni was still a little dazed, he was very clear about his identity. The title "Your Highness" could not possibly be applied to him.

Zoni was about to speak when he realized that the voice coming out of his mouth was unfamiliar—a very deep, powerful, and pleasant voice, but definitely not his usual voice.

"Excellent, indescribably excellent. Princess Stephanie must be waiting, right?"

Quite surprised by his own words, Zoni was horrified to find himself completely out of control of his body. The astonishing words had escaped his lips, and his body had moved automatically to a bronze mirror as tall as a person. In the mirror, he looked like a completely different person—elegant, with outstanding bearing, and most notably, his eyes had turned a mesmerizing sky blue. But what terrified him most was that his own consciousness seemed to have been squeezed into a corner of his body, watching everything from the perspective of an observer.

"Excellent!" It was a woman's voice, filled with laughter. A woman appeared in Zoni's vision—it was the glamorous woman who had called him at the door. He vaguely remembered her saying his name: the Black Wizard, Yadanlu.

"Remember now? I am the Black Wizard Yadanlailu! No need to rack your brains, an ordinary person like you wouldn't understand what a Black Wizard is. You only need to know one thing: your consciousness will observe your body doing something very meaningful."

Zoni was confused, but he had a strong sense of crisis, as if some inexplicable danger was approaching. He wanted to shout, he wanted to run away, but he couldn't do either. It seemed that another consciousness was controlling his body, making him do all sorts of things that were very different from usual, and say strange things.

"Hmph, this is what happens when you're under the spell of a Black Wizard's illusionary world! Your Highness, please come with me, Princess Stephanie is already waiting for you."

"Illusionary world? Princess Stephanie?" Before Zoni's mind could process it, his body had already involuntarily followed Yadanlailu.

On the Goddess of Dawn, the higher the status, the higher the room. People of low status like Zoni could only stay in cabins below the deck, while the highest cabins were reserved for the nobles. There, one could enjoy a panoramic view, not only with beautiful scenery, but also with spacious rooms and the highest level of service.

After navigating numerous corridors and ascending layers of stairs, Zoni and Yadanlu arrived at the VIP cabin area. The Aurora Goddess's cabins are divided into several types: service cabins for staff, standard cabins for commoners, and superior cabins for nobles: the deluxe cabins for the very elite. In addition, there is a special cabin reserved exclusively for high-ranking figures like Princess Stephanie. These are permanently assigned to them, and no one else is allowed to stay in them, further emphasizing the distinguished status of those residing in this special cabin.

Given Zoni's status, he wasn't even qualified to enter the first-class cabin, let alone the special cabins. Approaching would result in him being driven away by the guards.

The number of guards had increased, and the checks had become extremely thorough. These guards all belonged to the Ponte Empire, and their mission was to protect the VIPs in the first-class, luxury, and special cabins to the greatest extent possible.

Using a round plaque, Yadanlu and Zoni passed through the various noble cabins without hindrance.

"Your Highness, please!" Yadanlu led Zoni through the other cabin areas to the legendary special cabins. Indeed, seeing was believing; the legendary special cabins were truly extravagantly luxurious.

The floor was covered with an expensive red-gold carpet, woven from the precious gold of Tibetan flowers, a luxury even ordinary nobles couldn't afford. The walls were adorned with various famous paintings; although Zoni didn't understand art, the gold frames indicated their immense value. Above, jeweled lamps hung, casting soft light and reflecting an air of opulence. And this was merely a corridor outside Princess Stephanie's private cabin.

The poor boy Zoni was immediately stunned by the sight before him, while a smile crept onto Yadanlu's lips.

"Now, I'm giving you an order: do your best to satisfy the woman inside. This is your last order. Do it well!" Yadanlu's smile was sweet, yet it carried a dangerous undertone.

As before, Zoni was helplessly led forward. His steps were graceful and steady, but his thoughts were in disarray. In the luxurious corridor were many doors, and the one at the very end was Zoni's destination—behind Princess Stephanie's room. Two charming maids stood before the door. Seeing the elegant Zoni, their eyes lit up. They respectfully opened the door, their voices perfectly synchronized, "Your Highness, the princess is waiting for you."

Zoni stepped into the room alone. The door closed slowly behind him, simultaneously drawing him into a seductive encounter.

The room was small. Apart from the red and gold carpet on the floor, it lacked the luxurious decorations of the outside. The only unusual feature was a large, soft bed in the corner, veiled by a thin, white gauze curtain, through which a slender figure could be vaguely seen. A faint, delicate fragrance wafted in the air; it was unclear whether it was the beautiful princess's natural scent or the aroma emanating from the clean room.

Zoni knew that behind the white veil was Princess Stephanie, whose beauty was renowned throughout the continent. From his personal perspective, he was eager to see this peerless beauty, one of the continent's ten most beautiful women, though it was quite unbelievable that he could still feel lust in the current situation.

"It is truly an honor for this humble woman to meet the renowned Eye of the Sky," a very soft and melodious voice rang out. Princess Stephanie's voice was exceptionally pleasant, possessing a soothing quality.

"The Eye of the Sky? Your Highness, Eighth Prince!" As a resident of the Ponte Empire, Zoni had naturally heard of this name.

The current emperor of the Ponte Empire was one of the greatest monarchs in Ponte's history. Under his rule, the Ponte Empire transformed from an ordinary coastal nation into the most powerful sea empire, one of the strongest nations on the continent—a truly wise and powerful ruler. His ability to father sons was also remarkable; he had dozens of sons of varying ages, with the First Prince, Fourth Prince, and Eighth Prince being among the more outstanding. Although Zoni had no chance of meeting these noble figures, he knew of the Eighth Prince's reputation. Legend had it that the Eighth Prince had a pair of blue eyes, eyes as blue as the sky, captivating countless noble ladies and earning him the title "Eyes of the Sky."

"I've become... the Eighth Prince? How is this possible?" An incredulous feeling overwhelmed Zoni, and for a moment he felt dizzy.

A faint fragrance suddenly wafted into Zoni's nose, and he saw the white veil slowly lifted, revealing an extremely beautiful woman before him. Zoni's meager knowledge was utterly inadequate to describe her beauty.

The woman before him was about forty years old, the prime of a woman's life, and also the time when she was most attractive. She wore a thin, milky-white nightgown, her chest high and prominent, clearly the effect of a pair of incredibly firm breasts. The milky-white nightgown was semi-transparent, revealing glimpses of two rosy nipples at the chest and silver panties at the ends of her long, shapely thighs. Her soft, flowing curves and high, firm breasts were the epitome of beauty Zoni had never seen before. Although he was lustful and frequently interacted with women, he had never seen a woman so indescribably beautiful in his life, nor did he have the luck or ability to possess such a woman.

"Princess...Princess Stephanie?" Fortunately, Zoni's body was not currently under his control; otherwise, he might have already committed many acts contrary to royal etiquette, such as drooling, lecherously staring at her breasts, or even raping her.

"Please call me Stephanie." This woman clearly knew how to seduce men. She sat on the edge of the bed, one long, smooth leg crossed over the other, her snow-white toes gently swaying, making Zoni's heart leap.

Stephanie leaned forward slightly, exposing a large expanse of her snow-white breasts and half of her nipples, looking incredibly sexy and alluring.

"Mr. Locke, please don't be so reserved. If you relax, I think we can become good friends." Stephanie seemed very familiar with this scene; she even took out a glass and poured what looked like high-end red wine.

"Damn, this slut, looks like she really needs a man to fuck her. Go for it! Fuck her to death!" Zone was aroused, roaring incessantly in his mind like a stallion in heat. The will controlling his body seemed to hear his cries, and Zone saw himself getting closer and closer to this famous beauty, finally sitting right next to her on the edge of the bed.

What happened next was like a dream for a nobody like Zone, something he would never forget...

Sitting close to Stephanie, his left hand brazenly wrapped around her waist, the slender feel incredibly good.

The beautiful princess let out a coquettish laugh. "Prince Sky Eye is usually so polite, one of the finest gentlemen on the continent. How could you be so rude today?"

Zoni's hand caressed her soft, slender waist, his touch skillful and provocative. "The king has a dream, the goddess is willing; how could Locke Philo not understand romance?" His hands grew increasingly audacious.

"The king has a dream, the goddess is willing" is a widely circulated idiom in high society, a euphemism for seduction and passionate lovemaking, but it's perfectly apt for flirting between men and women in an unconventional relationship.

Stephanie smiled sweetly, her pink tongue lightly licking her lips. Her long, slender legs lifted, her toes gently rubbing against Zoni's body. The hem of her semi-transparent nightgown billowed up, revealing her long, white, slender curves extending to the very end, exposing a patch of silver.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Stephanie's tone was incredibly seductive, so sweet it sent shivers down a man's spine, enticing him to willingly shed his last drop of semen for her.

Zenny didn't speak; his response was gentle yet skillful caresses. His left hand circled her waist, slowly and steadily climbing upwards, while his right hand unceremoniously touched her knee, slipping inside her nightgown and moving upwards along the curve of her thigh.

Stephanie didn't act like a thirsty harlot; instead, she displayed a reserved shyness, her snow-white body trembling slightly. Hesitantly, she reached out her snow-white arms to embrace Zenny's neck, letting him take advantage of her body.

Such actions didn't demonstrate her chastity; rather, they showcased her mastery of skillful techniques for seducing men. This feigned resistance was most effective at igniting a man's desire.

The sensation in his hand astonished Zoni; the softness of her skin was indescribable. Zoni's hand moved over her knees, gently caressing her thighs, all the way to her groin. The barely concealing, milky-white, semi-transparent nightgown fluttered down with his movement. Stephanie

's breasts were incredibly firm, the most beautiful breasts Zoni had ever seen. To use an imperfect analogy, they were like the most delicious cake, making one's mouth water and yearn to devour them whole. The snow-white peaks were topped with pink areolas, highlighting the rosy nipples like the most beautiful rubies, attracting those with a desire to pluck them.

Zoni was honored to play that role, and he did so very diligently. Lifting Stephanie's body, though the beauty appeared voluptuous and sensual, she was actually quite light. Zone easily laid her down on the large bed, sweet words whispering in her ears. Of course, these sweet words didn't represent Zone's true intentions; if it were him, he would have used a hundred times more lewd and seductive language to tease a woman, instead of these seemingly gentlemanly and considerate words.

"Your Highness, it is my honor to serve you!" Zone not only said this, but he also proved it with his actions.

Parting the stray blonde hair behind Stephanie's ear, Zone gently took her earlobe into his mouth, softly nibbling and licking that sensitive spot with great tenderness and care. Stephanie seemed to be electrocuted, letting out a slight tremor and a soft moan.

Zone didn't continue stimulating that sensitive area; he later turned his attention downwards, lifting one of Stephanie's calves. Stephanie's legs were incredibly beautiful—straight, long, and with flawless, smooth skin, truly like white jade.

"Such a beautiful little darling," Zone murmured, caressing Stephanie's delicate feet. Her feet seemed sculpted from the finest white jade; her ten tiny toes, naturally formed and painted a pale pink, appeared translucent, like the most beautiful, transparent crystal, irresistible to the touch.

Zone immediately began to express his love for her beautiful little feet with his lips and tongue.

His tongue glided across the surface of her feet, his movements incredibly gentle, his tongue lightly tapping and teasing her skin.

Stephanie trembled even more violently, because Zone's kisses made her feet feel ticklish. She breathed and laughed, kicking her legs, trying to escape Zone's kisses.

Zoni kissed her smooth calf, then his hand traced the beautiful curve upwards, past her knee, past her thigh, and finally slipped inside her silver panties.

Stephanie let out a soft moan, her little bottom wiggling as if trying to avoid Zoni's hand, but in reality, she was welcoming his caresses.

Soon, the high-quality silver panties were pulled off and tossed aside, the noble princess completely exposing her naturally alluring body, displaying it fully before Zoni.

It was almost the most beautiful sight in the world; her snow-white, beautiful body struck a seductive pose, her high, firm breasts proudly erect, her red nipples beckoning him, her two long, straight legs pressed together, concealing the most beautiful sight between them, but every now and then her long legs deliberately slipped open a little, revealing a patch of black amidst the glossy surface, and occasionally a glimpse of light red could be seen in that black pubic hair.

Such a beautiful sight would even stir the heart of a celibate clergyman, let alone Zoni, a notorious lecher. Had his body not been out of control, he would have already pounced on her, pinning her down and ravaging her body.

"Come, my prince, your beautiful princess awaits your tenderness!" Stephanie's words ignited Zoni's lust, causing their passionate lovemaking to erupt. Their

two snow-white bodies rolled and intertwined, kissing passionately and tenderly.

Naturally, Zoni and Stephanie's bodies became one. He penetrated deeply into her alluring flesh, giving her exquisite pleasure through his thrusts and rotations. At the same time, she responded enthusiastically, her long legs wrapped around his waist, her breaths and moans mingling together.

At first, Stephanie could still flip over and straddle Zone, wildly swaying and twisting, indulging in her own pleasure. But soon she was exhausted, collapsing limply onto Zone's chest, panting. Zone's next move was something she couldn't resist, nor did she want to.

He flipped the beautiful princess-like harlot over and pinned her to the bed, wantonly riding her beautiful body, reveling in its exquisite beauty.

While Zone, who bore a slight resemblance to the Eighth Prince Locke Philo, lacked the prince's charisma and bearing, he possessed an advantage the prince couldn't match: his massive member was a weapon of mass destruction, capable of bringing women unparalleled pleasure.

Even Stephanie, a well-known harlot on the continent, couldn't resist Zone's prowess in this regard. She was quickly brought to orgasm by that large member she both loved and feared, her soul almost floating to heaven.

In this beautiful and sensual night, Zone fucked her all night long, making her climax countless times. Only at dawn did Zone leave his hot, intense seed inside her, sending her already dazed body to another climax. The beautiful, wanton

princess's body was indeed as renowned as it seemed. When Zone left her room, his legs were so weak he could barely walk, and he staggered away from Princess Stephanie's private cabin. But

after this beautiful and sensual night, a deadly crisis awaited Zone.

Episode 1, Chapter 3: Death Queen Island .

After leaving the VIP cabin area, Zone regained control of his body, but the sense of crisis that had been looming over him didn't subside; instead, it grew even heavier. Zone knew he had gotten himself into a life-threatening situation, especially after learning part of the truth behind this terrible and bizarre event.

The matter was obvious; from the few clues available, Zone could easily guess the gist of it.

Princess Stephanie, one of the most notorious harlots on the continent, took a liking to the Eighth Prince, Rockefeller, and wanted a one-night stand with him. The Eighth Prince clearly disliked this offer, but he might not be able to refuse, as Princess Stephanie wielded considerable power, and any man who had a one-night stand with her would receive significant benefits. Furthermore, considering his possible resemblance to the Eighth Prince, he had someone control him to impersonate him.

This plan obviously succeeded, and the Eighth Prince would reap some rewards, but the imposter was in dire straits. Even an idiot would know that committing a secret act would lead to being killed to silence him, let alone a clever fellow like Zoni. He immediately realized his situation was extremely precarious; from any perspective, the Eighth Prince would kill him to silence him. His only chance of survival was to hide.

Although Zoni's thoughts raced quickly, his opponents clearly left him no chance to resist or escape. Just as Zoni made the painful decision to abandon the gold coins in his room, he was sandwiched between two burly men in black and carried away almost without his feet touching the ground.

Zoni was filled with unbearable fear. He adored wealth, but he cherished his life even more; without his life, no amount of wealth could be enjoyed.

Soon, dazed and confused, Zoni was taken to a secluded corner of the Goddess of Dawn, a place with the turbulent sea right outside.

Zoni was held tightly between two burly men, like a chick caught by an eagle, completely unable to move. Even with his talent, Zoni only used it for acquiring wealth and clever tricks; strength and physique were never his forte, especially not being held hostage by these two beast-like men.

The two men had been waiting there. One of them lifted his hood, revealing a handsome face with blue eyes like the most beautiful clear sky. Zoni saw his own reflection in him; they looked very similar.

"I don't know your name, and I don't want to know. You may feel wronged, but this is your fate. Everyone's fate is determined at birth, and only the strong can reverse it! Unfortunately, you are not strong, so your life ends here."

"You… are Locke Filo!" Zoni exclaimed.

*Slap!* A resounding slap landed on Zoni's face, instantly causing it to swell and turn red.

The woman appeared before Hua Luoshi like a ghost, slapping Zoni hard across the face.

"You lowly commoner! How dare you address His Highness by his name!"

Zoni dared not cry out for help, fearing such an act would anger the other and extinguish his last vestige of life. He began to plead.

"Merciful and all-powerful Your Highness, I have elderly parents and young children to care for, please spare my lowly life!"

Zoni begged and cried to make his words more believable, though they were pure lies. He performed them convincingly, as if he truly had orphans and a widow at home.

Perhaps Zoni's pleas seemed too pitiful, for the Eighth Prince hesitated slightly.

The slender woman in black immediately flashed to the Eighth Prince's side and whispered something that Zoni hated most.

"Your Highness, those who achieve great things must not be soft-hearted!"

These words plunged Zoni into an abyss.

The Eighth Prince frowned slightly. He said nothing, made no gesture, and turned to leave. However, as his figure disappeared into the darkness, he left behind a single sentence.

"Haisena, clean things up, don't be too violent."

"Yes, Your Highness!" The woman named Haisena's voice was icy, a chill that seeped into Zoni's heart. He knew he was doomed.

"Help..." Zoni prepared to scream, even though the chances of survival were slim, he would fight for his life even if there was only a sliver of hope. Zoni

's cry for help was cut short before it even reached the air. The burly man in black beside him moved swiftly, quickly slicing across his neck with his palm, causing tears to stream down his face and making it difficult to breathe.

A cold glint flashed in Haisena's eyes. With a flick of her wrist, a slender sword suddenly appeared in her hand. Zoni felt a chill in his lower body, and before the pain could even register in his brain, he was kicked into the air by Haisena and crashed straight into the sea. Before plunging into the icy water, Zoni felt an intense pain in his lower body, and then the cold water immediately overwhelmed his consciousness. Before losing consciousness, he had only one strong thought—"If I can survive, I will take revenge…on everyone!"

Hesina, as if she had only accomplished a trivial task, clapped her hands, and the slender sword vanished without a trace.

She looked at the dark water outside the ship's side and asked, "Where is the ship?"

The burly man in black respectfully replied, "My lord, we are about to pass Death Queen Island. The currents here are fraught with danger, and the seawater is so cold this season. Coupled with his fatal wound, he absolutely will not survive." "

Very good."

Hesina's figure disappeared into the darkness, and the Dawn Goddess steadfastly continued along its fixed course, leaving only a resentful soul submerged in the icy water.

Death Queen Island was not listed on the Dawn Goddess's route, but that didn't mean the route wouldn't pass by it.

Queen of Death Island is a very special place, boasting the most beautiful scenery in the Ponte Vecchio waters. However, in the eyes of fishermen who make their living at sea, Queen of Death Island, just like its name, is synonymous with death.

In the vast ocean, Queen of Death Island shines like a bright pearl, nestled between the White Dolphin Belt and Cape Tropic of Cancer, slightly off the course of the Dawn Goddess's route, though its general outline can be seen in the distance when passing by.

The waters surrounding Queen of Death are an incredibly beautiful light blue, so transparent that countless beautiful seaweeds sway and drift within, appearing so harmonious and peaceful. Yet, this is a place of death, contradicting its outward appearance.

Because of its beautiful scenery, Queen of Death Island has attracted much interest, and many ships have reached it. However, none of those who set foot on Queen of Death Island ever returned; they all vanished without a trace.

Many explorations have been undertaken, but all the explorers remained on Queen of Death Island, never to return, their fate unknown.

After this scenario repeated itself multiple times, no one showed any interest in the place anymore. After all, it was still quite a distance from the nearest coast and held little value; its only appeal was its mystique.

Thus, the beautiful Queen Island was prefixed with the word "death," a warning against foolish thoughts and impulsive actions.

Now, no human dares approach; only mindless sea creatures roam there. The Aurora didn't pass by Queen Island; it merely sailed a considerable distance away, though its beautiful outline could be seen in the distance.

Over the years, no one actively sought out Queen Island, but unfortunate souls were still inadvertently approaching it almost every year, as it was a convenient place to dispose of bodies.

Poor Zone became one such unfortunate soul.

Kicked off the Aurora, Zone couldn't withstand the combined assault of severe physical trauma and the icy chill of the seawater. He quickly lost consciousness and drifted with the currents created by the Aurora. Perhaps due to sheer luck, Zone didn't sink to the bottom of the sea. He floated on the surface, gradually approaching Death Queen Island and entering the shallow blue waters.

Some small fish curiously touched Zone's body before scattering. The unfortunate Mr. Franklin remained unconscious, drifting closer to Death Queen Island with the rise and fall of the waves.

Soon, Zone's body was propelled by the waves to the beach outside the island. The most fortunate thing in this extremely unlucky journey was that the cold seawater froze the wound on his lower body; otherwise, he would have already died from blood loss before even reaching the beach.

The dark clouds dispersed, sunlight streamed in, a new day arrived, and the gradually rising temperature pulled Zone from his unconsciousness back to consciousness.

Zone groaned a few times, slowly opening his eyes. The blinding sunlight made everything appear bright white, obscuring his vision. Learning from Lei Feng...

Although greedy and treacherous, Zone had a great virtue: he was very resilient and decisive. He closed his eyes for a moment, recalling what had happened.

The memories quickly came together, and intense pain gnawed at his body, but none of this could compare to the hatred in his heart.

Zone was a vengeful man, and such a deep-seated hatred couldn't possibly be forgotten.

"Black Wizard Yadanlu! Bitch Hesina! That damned Eighth Prince Rock Filo! Zone Franklin has remembered you all! Wait for me, I will return! All of this will be washed away with blood and pain!" This blood oath was etched deep into Zone's soul.

Zone's will to survive was incredibly strong. He endured the pain in his lower body and barely managed to crawl ashore. After a night of torment, the pain was much less than when he first fell into the sea, as long as he didn't move too much. The pain was bearable.

Before him lay a sparse coconut grove, a vibrant green, and beyond that, rising mountains, covered in a green cloak.

Zone didn't rush into the grove. The situation here was unclear, so caution was advised. He first carefully observed his surroundings.

When Zone saw the light blue waters surrounding the island, he was surprised to find himself on Death Queen Island. As a resident of the Ponte Empire, a nation that reigns supreme on the seas, Zoni had naturally heard the legends of Death Queen Island and was well aware of his current predicament.

Zoni's face darkened, and he began to curse everything through gritted teeth, especially Hesina and the others who had caused his predicament. He cursed them mercilessly. If his curses came true, Hesina and the others would surely be condemned to hell.

After a period of vehement cursing, Zoni fell silent. The fact was, he was now on Death Queen Island, and the most important thing was to figure out how to survive in this infamous place.

Zoni tentatively walked along the beach, finding nothing unusual. The only thing that unsettled him was the island's extreme quiet; the only sound was the faint rustling of the coconut palms in the sea breeze.

Zoni circled the beach several times, and the pain in his lower body began to return. He knew he couldn't hesitate any longer; he needed to find a place to rest. In this isolated land of death, only he himself had any hope of survival.

Zone resolutely walked towards the coconut grove, unaware that he had crossed a silver line shimmering with an extremely faint light.

Zone cautiously entered the grove; the trees were sparse, making any movement easily visible, but Zone dared not let his guard down. After all, Death Queen Island was infamous; thousands, if not tens of thousands, had never returned from there, and he didn't want to add another number to that record.

The grass beneath his feet had a comfortable, soft feel, giving Zone the pleasant sensation of lying down on the grass and never getting up again. But he quickly snapped out of this feeling.

"Damn it, it's hyrule!" Zone shuddered. He leaped up like a rabbit with its tail on fire, trying to escape the grassy area, but it stretched as far as the eye could see. Desperate, Zone actually climbed a coconut tree, his movements as agile as a monkey in the face of the threat.

Zoni's actions weren't due to cowardice, but because the herb *Hyruyin* was truly a deadly poison.

*Hyruyin* was a specialty of island regions, growing only on a few uninhabited islets along the coast of the Ponte Empire. Its appearance was similar to ordinary grass, the only difference being its wider leaves, though inexperienced individuals would find it difficult to distinguish. The most distinctive and deadly characteristic of *Hyruyin* was its peculiar aroma, which, while initially pleasant, could induce a deep, inescapable drowsiness, ultimately leading to death.

Based on this property, some people harvested the leaves, dried them, ground them into powder, and added other substances, thus creating the infamous "Dream Potion." "Dream

Potion" is a euphemism; more commonly, it was called "Devil's Potion," considered one of the top three most dangerous contrabands on the continent. Those who took it experienced a blissful, euphoric state, forgetting all worries and pain.

However, the "Devil's Potion" earned its name because its harmful effects were far greater. Those who take this drug will gradually weaken, eventually leading to premature death.

Such a substance is naturally heavily banned in various countries, and after learning of its harmful effects, almost no one dares to take it. Zoni, with his deep research and understanding of drugs, even knew the ingredients and formula of the "Devil's Drug."

Although the seaweed was best kept at bay, its scent didn't spread far; once one was a distance away, the scent that would induce a deadly dream would lose its effect. Zoni had now climbed several meters above the ground, a distance that would keep him safe.

Zoni was temporarily out of danger, but he couldn't stay on the coconut tree forever; the crisis was far from over. Looking into the distance, besides a sea of green, he only saw specks of white interspersed among the green—the remains of living beings, bones that time couldn't erase. He could imagine that many people had fallen on this seaweed field, and Zoni could very well be the next victim.

With great effort, he opened a coconut and greedily drank the coconut water to quench his thirst. Despite his severe physical injuries, Zone's mind became even clearer. He realized he had to cross the seaweed field while he still had the strength, or he would be forever among these wrecked remains.

Zone, being a quick-thinking fellow, soon devised a way to escape. He placed half a coconut shell over his nose and mouth, wetting his face with coconut juice to slightly resist the seaweed's deadly stench.

The seaweed field wasn't as vast as Zone had imagined. After quickly climbing over a low hill, the seaweed disappeared from his feet, and he had truly entered Queen Island.

The depths of Queen Island, as Zone saw it, were vast and beautiful. A mountain peak blocked his view of the distance, but an unusual place caught his attention.

Not far ahead was a circular white patch of ground, seemingly a white rock, or perhaps a large gemstone—though such a massive gemstone was unheard of. The gem-like object was surrounded by a ring of gleaming metallic protrusions, resembling an unidentified altar. If Zone possessed the ability to fly high, he would see that this wasn't an isolated sight; around Death Queen Island, there were white circles at regular intervals.

The scene before him was quiet, but Zone sensed something was amiss. It wasn't that he explicitly felt danger, but a pure intuition told him that something strange and inexplicable was about to happen.

Zone wasn't lacking in intelligence or cunning; his experience and knowledge were abundant. His only deficiency was luck—an unpredictable yet sometimes crucial element.

Zone had never had such a strong intuition before. He even felt that if he took just a few more steps, stepping onto that white rock or gem, something unpredictable would immediately occur.

This was the unfathomable Death Queen Island; intelligence, cunning, experience, and knowledge were utterly useless here. Zone seemed to hear a voice in his mind, enticing him to enter the circle's perimeter, and then he would gain everything. But at the same time, reason was screaming in his head: this is a deadly trap! Get around this thing and get as far away as possible!

Zoni hesitated for a long time. Although he was usually quite rational, this time he wanted to act recklessly.

"Damn it, either I die here, or I have a miraculous encounter and return to the mainland to take revenge!"

Zone's decision, though seemingly crazy, was actually well-thought-out. On the mysterious Death Queen Island, deadly factors lurked everywhere; caution alone might not guarantee survival. In critical moments, one needed the courage to risk everything. Zone chose to trust his often-unreliable intuition.

Without hesitation, Zone stepped forward. Death or adventure? It all depended on this gamble.

The feeling beneath his feet confirmed it was indeed a smooth gem. Such a massive gem would fetch an astronomical price. Just as Zone was fantasizing about possessing such immense wealth, a ring of protrusions around the gem began to flash incessantly. They didn't flash simultaneously, but one after another, in a rhythmic, cyclical pattern. Then, Zone felt his footing give way; the giant white gem cracked open, and he fell into the void.

Chapter 4, Episode 1: Rufion.

"Splash!" After falling a considerable distance, Zone crashed heavily into the water.

As a resident of the seaside, Zoni was an excellent swimmer. The moment he entered the water, he immediately held his breath, then relaxed his body, waiting for the buoyancy of the water to lift him to the surface. However, Zoni's plan didn't work; his body didn't float at all, but instead continued to sink.

At first, Zoni thought it was just because he had fallen too hard, but after a few breaths, he found that he could no longer surface. Countless rope-like things surged wildly from all around him. These ropes were multicolored and even shimmered with light; they all pierced into Zoni's body.

This was Zoni's last memory before he lost consciousness, and at the same time, he heard a very harsh voice.

"Entity 18196 captured, identified as a behavioral deficiency entity, blood test passed, compliance rate 91%, target meets requirements, permission granted to execute the Super God Project."

Zoni had a dream, not the nightmares he usually had, but an extremely beautiful dream. He dreamt he possessed invincible power, capable of doing whatever he pleased, seizing immeasurable wealth and possessing countless beautiful women. The earth bowed before him, all living beings groaned under his tyranny, the sky trembled at his dignity, and even the gods came to worship him…

Dreams are the easiest things to shatter, and Zoni, lost in his dream, returned to reality. Zoni

opened his eyes, still somewhat disoriented. He shook his head vigorously, quickly regaining his senses, and the first thing he saw startled him.

Zoni saw a hideous face before him, its terrifying mouth and sharp teeth chilling. Zoni wasn't exactly a coward, but such a horrifying sight suddenly appearing so close, almost touching his nose, would make anyone calm, unless they were dead. Zoni didn't

scream; instead, he scrambled back several meters, hoping to get as far away from this terrifying thing as possible.

But things didn't go as planned. Zoni's desperate retreat did nothing to distance himself from the hideous face; it remained close at hand. This must be a hideous mountain spirit, a creature typically found in mountains, ugly, ferocious, and incredibly strong.

Fear grew stronger in Zoni's heart. A human facing a mountain spirit head-on had only two outcomes: either to be torn to pieces or possess enough strength to kill it.

Zoni waited in fear for a long time, but the hideous mountain spirit continued to shake its equally hideous face, without launching any attack.

Zoni sensed something strange. He quickly calmed down and figured out the odd phenomenon.

The mountain spirit wasn't actually that close. The illusion of such close proximity was entirely due to Zoni's eyes; his vision could shorten great distances, making the mountain spirit appear as if it were right beside him.

"How could this be?" Zoni felt both fear and surprise. Fear was the inevitable reaction for many people encountering such a situation, while surprise represented another thought for Zoni: he possessed an unusual and peculiar power.

He couldn't explain how he controlled it, but Zoni could now adjust his vision at will. He could bring distant scenes close to his eyes, or regain normal vision, like a giant eagle soaring high in the sky. His sharp vision could clearly capture prey running on the ground.

Zoni slowly adapted to this change in vision, possessing eyes comparable to a giant eagle, which would bring him many unexpected benefits.

Zoni didn't know why he was in this dense forest. He only remembered falling into a strange place, his last impression being a spiderweb of pipes frantically tangling around him, and he seemed to hear something in his ears before falling into a coma until he woke up now. Zoni felt that during his unconsciousness, he must have encountered some opportunity, which was why such miraculous things happened to him.

Amidst his terror, Zone couldn't help but feel a secret thrill. With more power, he now had the ability to take revenge. He deeply hated those who had robbed him of his manhood; hatred was etched into his very bones. Thinking of his once-proud, large penis, severed by Hesina, Zone suddenly felt something strange in his lower body. He reached down and touched something hard and thick.

Even gaining Eagle Eye hadn't surprised Zone so much! He pulled down his pants and was horrified to find that he now possessed a large penis again.

This was definitely not his old penis, because from any perspective… this thing was practically a "weapon." Its length and thickness were at least twice its former size, and seven tooth-like protrusions were evenly distributed from the tip of the glans to the base of the shaft, reminding Zone of a weapon used in the military called a spiked club.

"Hokuto Ryuga?" The name suddenly flashed through Zone's mind. He didn't know where this thought came from; it seemed something had inexplicably appeared in his brain, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.

Zone quickly adapted to the new changes in his body. He found that his strength and reflexes had increased, though not dramatically. His vision and hearing underwent a qualitative change, gaining the sharp eyes of an eagle and the keen hearing of an elf. Most notably, his large penis reappeared in his genitals. This terrifying weapon could automatically retract at his will, even retracting completely back into his body, making his genitals appear as if nothing was there.

This change filled Zone with joy. In his eyes, no change could compare to the mutation of his large penis; it was a matter of a man's dignity.

"Ponte's beauties, I, Zone Franklin, have arrived!"

The gloom of being stranded on Death Island seemed to be overshadowed by the sudden increase in his physical strength and the joy of regaining his large penis. Zone had clearly forgotten that this was Death Queen Island, a notorious land of death.

With a "whoosh," the branches parted, and a black shadow pounced out of the dense forest, knocking the smug Zoni to the ground. A gaping maw, reeking of blood, snapped shut.

An ordinary person, faced with such a shock, would likely be paralyzed with fear and suffer a fatal attack. But Zoni's nerves were strong. Although the sudden attack startled him, it didn't leave him paralyzed with fear, unable to move his limbs.

Zoni desperately grabbed the viciously biting maw. He didn't even have time to see what kind of creature it was. He mustered all his strength to pry its jaws shut, trying to prevent them from closing. His head was now right in the gaping maw, its sharp teeth gleaming coldly. If he were bitten hard, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zone forcefully pried its mouth shut, and the creature struggled violently, its equally sharp limbs tearing and clawing at Zone's body, leaving him covered in wounds and blood.

The pain and bloodshed ignited a hidden ferocity within Zone. He recklessly rolled over and pinned the creature down, biting its throat in return.

A piercing scream erupted, a scream that included not only the creature's agony as Zone bit its vital organs, but also Zone's own cry. Now, his mouth was full of blood, his movements brutal and ruthless, making him indistinguishable from a wild beast.

"You want to kill me? I'll bite you to death! Come on! Again!" Zone

held its throat for an unknown amount of time, until he felt he had no strength left, before finally releasing the poor creature. Its throat was already a bloody mess, beyond any doubt.

Zoni collapsed, panting, beside the Green Tiger. The frenzy had nearly exhausted his strength, and more importantly, it had severely impacted his mental state. No matter what extraordinary adventures he had experienced, just a day ago he was merely an ordinary person. The creature Zoni had just killed was a Green Tiger, the smallest known tiger species, though certainly not the weakest.

Green Tigers are island creatures, similar in size to sea wolves, but far more ferocious and swift. They attack by tearing their prey apart with their sharp teeth and claws.

After regaining his senses, Zoni was utterly astonished that he had managed to kill a Green Tiger with his bare hands. He couldn't believe he had done it; normally, he struggled even to deal with a wild dog, let alone take on this so-called "island hunter."

"I've had a miraculous encounter! I've had a miraculous encounter!" Zoni kept muttering to himself, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he looked at his blood-stained hands. "The Eighth Prince is so great, isn't he? Just wait for my revenge!" Zoni quickly discovered another extraordinary quality about himself: his almost depleted strength recovered in a short time, and his numerous wounds gradually healed, leaving no trace of his injuries. This greatly boosted his confidence.

Zoni hacked his way through the dense forest, feeling himself growing stronger—a reward he must have gained from his battle with Green Tiger. He had a feeling that through one fierce battle after another, he would become even stronger. Although the power to kill Green Tiger wasn't particularly formidable in the human world, one day he would have enough strength to take revenge.

For the rest of his journey, Zoni encountered no more threatening creatures, only seabirds flying overhead or small animals hopping about in the grass.

Zoni had no intention of catching the small animals. He found his body, which should have been exhausted and hungry, was now brimming with energy. The feeling of hunger didn't even arise in his body, and he had no need to catch these small animals to satisfy his stomach. What he needed most now was to find a way to leave Queen Island. Only by setting foot on land could he possibly carry out his revenge.

The dense forest seemed endless. Zoni walked for a long time without seeing the end of the forest, which made him doubt the size of Queen Island.

"Impossible! Queen Island can't be that big!" Zoni sensed something was wrong. He felt as if he had fallen into some kind of magic circle.

In this world, magic was very popular, and even some commoners had the opportunity to learn magic. Zoni had also come into contact with magic before, but he had no talent in this area. He couldn't even reach the lowest level of magic apprentice, so of course he wouldn't understand the mysteries of magic.

However, Zoni had a relatively rich knowledge of magic. As a cunning thief and pickpocket, good eloquence and a wide variety of knowledge were common characteristics, which helped them increase their success rate in deception.

"This is... a magic circle!"

Zone found the culprit in his memory: a magic array. Unfortunately, Mr. Franklin knew nothing about magic circles. He only knew that a mage needed to reach level six, or a high-level mage, to use them, and then use certain magical mediums to set up the array to achieve a specific function. Anything more complex was beyond Zone's understanding; he could only guess that he might be trapped in some kind of magic circle.

"There are people here!" Zone was both surprised and delighted. Although being trapped was frustrating, the existence of the magic circle meant that humans existed on Death Queen Island. It was hard to imagine that a wild beast had set up the magic circle.

Zone stopped and began to carefully observe his surroundings, trying to find a way out of the magic circle. However, he was surprised to find that everything in front of him looked exactly the same; he couldn't tell where the exit of the magic circle was at all.

"Laser Eye!"

Zone instinctively used a technique he didn't even know he'd learned at some point, instantly capturing everything around him—things deeper than the surface of the landscape. Zone saw a faint red line stretching into the distance along a winding path, and his intuition told him this was the way out of the magic circle.

Without hesitation, Zone followed the shimmering red line.

Soon, a dense thicket of trees appeared ahead: it seemed there was no way forward. Zone steeled his resolve, not even closing his eyes, and charged straight through. Just as he thought he was about to hit a tree trunk, he felt no resistance; his body passed through the trees and into darkness.

When Zone sensed light again, he found himself in a place completely different from the forest.

The dense forest and boundless green had vanished, replaced by a slightly desolate land.

This desolate land wasn't entirely empty; an ancient-looking castle stood there.

Zone's insight was still sharp. Although the Franklin family was no longer among the nobility, his grandfather, Old Franklin, had always wished for the family to regain its noble status. Therefore, his education of his descendants included a great deal of aristocratic etiquette and knowledge. This had brought Zone many benefits; he had repeatedly engaged in the shameless act of impersonating a nobleman.

In Zone's view, the castle was very old, though the exact age was impossible to guess—it required close examination. The castle's shape was peculiar, unlike any of the three castle styles Zone knew. However, with his professional eye, the castle exuded an aura of nobility and solemnity, leading him to believe that the owner was a very extraordinary person.

Soon, Zone approached the castle.

While carefully observing his surroundings, Zone suddenly felt an extremely heavy pressure bearing down on him, almost suffocating him for a moment. If it were before his physical transformation, this pressure would have been enough to suffocate him.

"Who possesses such power? Why can't I see him?"

Zoni was slightly panicked. He could sense the powerful aura, but couldn't see who was emitting it. This feeling of being suppressed by an unknown, powerful force disgusted him, utterly disgusted. He didn't know why he had such a strong feeling.

Soon, Zoni felt the spying power disappear, but his intuition told him that the power hadn't really disappeared; it had just stopped putting pressure on him.

"Hello, new guest. It's been many years since we've had a visitor here." A soft, melodious woman's voice rang out, almost right next to Zoni's ear. This startled him, as he hadn't sensed anyone approaching. Even with his now almost abnormally sensitive senses, the fact that someone had gotten so close and yet he hadn't noticed was a huge blow to Zoni's inflated confidence.

Zoni smelled a very fresh and elegant fragrance, a scent he recognized—the unique body odor of a peerless beauty. He had smelled a similar fragrance on Princess Stephanie's body before.

The fragrance intensified, indicating she had moved closer, but Zoni couldn't see her face clearly because she wore a strange mask. The face on the mask was lifelike and exquisitely crafted.

Although Zoni couldn't see her face, he could tell from her clear voice and white attire that she was a woman.

"Guest who was able to resist the devil's temptation and successfully pass through the illusion array, your mental strength is extremely strong, although I didn't sense the power that a magician or warrior should possess from you."

"Illusion array?" Zoni felt he had vaguely heard of this magic array, but that wasn't the key point. He was more concerned about what she meant by "the devil's temptation."

"What is the devil's temptation?" Zoni vaguely sensed that this so-called devil's temptation was closely related to his physical mutation and would affect his future fate.

"Since you've already landed on Queen Island, you must have seen those white magic wells. They emit a strong temptation, drawing you to stand on them, and then anyone who stands on them never appears again. Only creatures with strong willpower and self-control can resist this deadly temptation."

Zoni suddenly understood. He had felt a very strong bewitching influence when he first entered Queen Island, enticing him to step onto that white gem. If what she said was true, there was more than one such place. Any creature that set foot on Queen Island would be tempted, and if they couldn't control their actions, the only outcome would be death.

However, the fact that he could successfully emerge from what she called the White Magic Well was incomprehensible to Zoni, who temporarily attributed it to his extraordinary luck.

Of course, Zoni wouldn't tell her that he too had fallen into the trap, but his good fortune had prevented him from dying like other unlucky souls; instead, he had gained many wondrous abilities.

"One more question, who are you?"

"My name is Flügge Rufion, you can also call me Rufion!"

Zoni was unmoved by the name; in fact, he knew absolutely nothing about the name Rufion. Zoni, of course, didn't know that many years ago, this name had spread across half the continent, known to almost every warrior and magician.

"Judging from the name, she's a woman. I wonder what she looks like? She seems quite pretty." Such a thought inexplicably flashed through Zoni's mind.

Rufion, of course, was unaware of the wicked thoughts swirling in Zoni's mind; otherwise, she would have already killed this shameless lecher. She was simply surprised by Zoni's indifferent expression upon hearing her name; it wasn't feigned.

"It seems eight hundred years have made history forget my name? Oh, that's alright, at least those pointy-eared fellows will never forget me."

Rufion was unaware of Zoni's thoughts, and Zoni, of course, was also unaware of what she was thinking. He felt that the most urgent task was to understand the situation on Queen Death Island. If they could join forces with Rufion, who seemed to possess great power, then perhaps the hope of leaving here and returning to the mainland would greatly increase.

"Could you tell me about Queen Death Island? It seems you've lived here for a long time."

Rufion paused for a moment. "Queen Death Island has existed for a very long time. It's said that it existed tens of thousands of years ago. If it weren't for the fact that it's so remote and difficult to reach, those fly-like adventurers would have already overwhelmed it."

Rufion hesitated noticeably at this point. "Because... for some reason, I decided to come here to avoid trouble, but once I set foot on Queen Death Island, I realized that once I landed here, I could never leave. The most dangerous part of Queen Death Island is that there's a mysterious ring around its perimeter, which I call White Demons." "These wells, these things emit a seductive power, drawing creatures that set foot on Queen Island closer to them. Once they stand on them, even the strongest will fall and never emerge again. I tried to approach and destroy them, but to no avail. These things seem to absorb all attacks; even throwing boulders at them is futile, as they emit strange beams that destroy boulders. Anything that tries to leave Queen Island will be attacked by these beams. They are terrifying, capable of instantly incinerating a person; their speed is simply impossible for any creature to dodge."

"Death rays are certainly terrifying." This thought suddenly flashed through Zoni's mind. He didn't know where these strange words came from, just like the laser eyes before. Many inexplicable fragments of memory seemed to have appeared in his mind, but he couldn't piece them together in an orderly fashion.

Rufion didn't notice Zoni's somewhat strange expression. "In short, no creature that ventures deep into Queen Island can escape its allure. For eight hundred years, I've seen countless people die from these beams of light. The biggest reason is that most of them couldn't resist the continuous, relentless seductive power. So I set up an illusion array around it, hoping to prevent newcomers from succumbing to the constant seduction and meeting their demise. But... the seductive power grows stronger with each passing moment. Even I can only use the Panic Mask to block this deadly temptation."

Rufion sighed softly. "Time keeps flowing. It's been over a hundred years since anyone has spoken to me. Today, I finally have a new companion."

Chapter 5 of Episode 1: The Secret of Machine Island .

Zoni had initially thought he would encounter something terrifying on the infamous Queen Island of Death, but things turned out differently than he expected. He had an extraordinary encounter as soon as he set foot on the island. Although he didn't yet know exactly how much he had gained, at least the regenerated penis made Zoni very happy and satisfied. The only regret was that he couldn't test the power of this newly grown penis. Although there was a woman present, Zoni dared not set his sights on her.

During his conversation with Rufion, Zoni quickly came to a startling conclusion: this mysterious Rufion was at least eight hundred years old. Considering the human average of one hundred and fifty years, her lifespan was incredibly long, unless she wasn't human. Based on Zoni's experience, he knew that subhuman races like elves and dwarves had long lifespans, and he guessed that Rufion, whose face was hidden behind a mask, might not be human. What Zoni didn't know was that some powerful humans who reached a certain level also possessed incredibly long lifespans.

However, Zoni discovered that Rufion didn't possess the wisdom often associated with ancient beings; instead, she was somewhat naive and melancholic. Perhaps due to the loneliness of being alone on this boring island for so long, she became very enthusiastic and got along well with Zoni, her new companion. In just a few words, Zoni learned everything about Death Queen Island.

Death Queen Island is quite large, boasting mountains, rivers, animals, and plants, but apart from Rufion, there are no other intelligent beings. Only three places are noteworthy: the magic well that emits death rays, the illusion magic circle set up by Rufion, and the ancient castle. The most mysterious of these is the castle; according to Rufion, she has lived on the island for eight hundred years, but no matter what method she uses, she cannot enter it.

Zoni could clearly sense Rufeine's power—a very strong power. If he possessed such power, he believed he would be able to seek revenge against the Eighth Prince and the others. However, even Rufeine's power couldn't enter this seemingly unprotected castle, and Zoni felt he had little hope of getting in.

But Zoni had a premonition that he could obtain something valuable from this strangely styled castle—something that could not only help him with revenge but also change the course of his destiny.

"This castle is strange. If you attack it, all attacks are blocked by a layer of sky-blue transparent light, similar to a divine barrier. You can't even touch the castle walls. And whenever I don't attack the gate, a strange voice keeps saying the same thing: 'Please enter the password.'" Rufeine could see Zoni's interest in the castle, but she didn't offer any further warnings. The castle was simply immune to attack, without reflecting attacks or retaliating; it was likely harmless, so there was no need to worry about being harmed.

"A sky-blue transparent light curtain? This looks a lot like the protection on the Goddess of Dawn!" Zoni had a feeling that this Goddess of Dawn was somehow connected, even though they seemed to have nothing in common.

Knowing that the attack was ineffective, Zoni chose to stand in front of the castle gate. Sure enough, just as Rufion had said, a very peculiar voice rang out.

"Please enter the password."

Zoni felt that the voice was somewhat familiar, cold and harsh, with a metallic feel.

"What is a password?" Not only did Zoni not understand its meaning, but even if all the creatures on the continent were added together, they wouldn't know what the password meant.

"Password? Password?" Zoni suddenly felt a jolt in his head, as if something had been forcibly stuffed into his brain. A series of inexplicable sounds uncontrollably came from his throat, and it wasn't any language he knew.

"Password confirmed, welcome Dr. Cui!"

"Dr. Cui? What is that, a person's name?"

Under the extremely surprised gazes of Zoni and Rufion, the castle gate, which hadn't been opened for at least eight hundred years, slowly opened, revealing the entrance.

Zoni paused for a moment, then resolutely walked into the castle. Rufion hesitated for a second, then followed closely behind.

"This is the worst castle I've ever seen." Upon entering, they were greeted by a scene of utter chaos. It looked as if a hundred elephants had trampled it, a complete mess, as if a fierce battle had taken place here.

A thick layer of dust covered the ground, indicating that no one had been here for a long time, and the decaying ornaments further testified to its antiquity.

The empty space contained nothing but the marks of time, leaving Rufion utterly disappointed.

"Could this mysterious place be empty inside? By the way, Zoni, how did you open the door?"

"Shh! Don't talk, there's movement down there." In fact, even Zoni himself didn't know how he had opened the castle door; too many inexplicable things had happened today. However, Zoni had no time to think about this; his attention was drawn to the ground.

A series of intermittent "crackling" sounds came from below, like steel clashing repeatedly.

"Found it." Zoni pressed a spot on the ground, which immediately cracked open, revealing a dark, round hole. The intermittent "crackling" sounds became more pronounced.

"This is..." Before Rufion could even ask a question, Zoni had already jumped down impatiently.

"There might be danger in there!" Rufion couldn't watch Zoni risk his life alone. Besides, this place held the hope of leaving Queen Island. After so many long years, the lonely Rufion didn't want to wait any longer. She jumped down after him.

Rufion suddenly felt her feet sink, and she had landed on solid ground. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have lost her footing and fallen to the ground. Below this round hole was a downward staircase, very close to the ground, but the view below was invisible from above. Without mental preparation, it was easy to slip and tumble down.

"Zoni, are you alright?" It was pitch black here; even with Rufion's eyesight, she couldn't see her surroundings.

Zoni's voice immediately reached her ears, "It's alright, I'm down here. It's very dark here, can you see the way?"

Rufion cautiously descended the steps, not out of fear of the darkness, but out of caution. Having been trapped here for so many years, she didn't want to lose her chance to escape due to her recklessness. She answered as she walked, "It's too dark here, I can't see anything. Be careful, I'm coming down."

Suddenly, a warm hand reached out and grabbed Rufion's hand. At the same time, a voice stopped her from retaliating.

It was Zoni's voice, "I can see. Hold my hand, I'll guide you through."

The moment Rufion's warm hand touched Zoni's, she felt a jolt in her heart. It seemed like many years since anyone had held her hand like that. The warmth intoxicated her, and she didn't show any sign of resistance.

Unlike Rufion, Zoni felt her small hand was cold, like holding an ice cube. However, the skin on her hand was very smooth, with an excellent tactile feel.

"I wonder what the other parts of her body feel like? I must explore them if possible," Zoni thought. If Rufion knew what this shameless lecher was thinking, she would definitely blast him into the wall and turn him into a totem.

The environment here was pitch black, but it was very clear to Zoni. He could see every detail of this space.

The spiral staircase twisted and turned downwards, extending into the unknown depths of the earth. Zoni pulled Rufion around and around, pushing deeper and deeper underground.

Zoni felt strange. He had clearly heard a series of "clicking" sounds just now, but now there was only pitch black silence. The strange sounds had disappeared without a trace.

"Be careful, we've probably reached the bottom." Zoni saw that the spiraling staircase had disappeared, and what followed should be a different path.

"Wow! Here... here is..." Zoni exclaimed in surprise, stunned by the beautiful scene before him.

"What? What did you see?" Rufien sensed Zoni's surprise; she even felt his palms getting hot with excitement.

Before Zoni's eyes lay a vast space, so vast that even with his keen eyesight, he couldn't see it all at once. This space was at least a hundred meters high, and its width was likely no less than its height, yet the end of the space remained unseen.

"Alarm! Intruder! Alarm! Intruder!" A shrill cry suddenly rang out, and a blinding light erupted.

The sudden brightness dazzled Rufien, leaving her momentarily blind and unable to see anything. Zoni, however, was somewhat better off; his eyes were special, automatically contracting their pupils the instant the light flashed, so he wasn't significantly affected.

As the bright light appeared, Zoni's gaze quickly swept across the entire space.

It was almost completely empty; at the end of the space, there seemed to be some miscellaneous items piled up. Before Zoni could see clearly, a group of menacing creatures charged towards them.

These were strange creatures, cylindrical in shape, much like the wine barrels favored by noble gentlemen. They had human-like hands and feet, but looked more like the claws of wild beasts. Their entire bodies seemed to be made of steel, making a "clattering" sound as they moved—the same sound Zoni had heard in the castle.

Rufion's vision had returned to normal; she frowned as she watched the approaching steel figures. "What are these strange things? They seem hostile."

"Destroy the intruders! Destroy the intruders!" The shrill cry emanated from the tops of these creatures, where red lights flashed incessantly.

"Whatever they are, let's kill them!" Zoni was now eager to try. During his wandering on the steps, he had asked Rufion about the learning methods of magicians and warriors, and Rufion hadn't held back, giving him detailed instructions. Zoni felt he had never had a talent for magic, so he naturally chose the path of a warrior.

Zoni, despite possessing several wondrous abilities, knew after his initial euphoria that he hadn't gained any substantial power. If he thought he could confront the Eighth Prince head-on with this meager strength, a mage or warrior would be enough to defeat him.

Zoni lunged forward, delivering a heavy punch to the heads of these tin-clad figures using the techniques taught by Rufion.

"Bang! Ouch!" A loud crash and a scream rang out simultaneously. In that instant, Zoni felt as if the bones in his hand were about to break, the excruciating pain spreading uncontrollably throughout his body. However, his mental strength had indeed become remarkably strong; despite the pain, he could still endure it.

"Rufion, look at the lousy moves you taught! Ouch, that hurts!"

Rufion chuckled lightly. "I told you long ago, without the guidance of a mage or warrior, you can't learn to use magic and aura. Watch my demonstration!"

Without the obstruction of darkness, Rufion's figure transformed into a streak of lightning, rapidly weaving through the dozens of tin-clad figures.

If it weren't for his laser eyes, Zoni's eyes simply couldn't keep up with Rufion's speed. He saw Rufion's graceful figure weave effortlessly among dozens of menacing metal creatures, their waving steel arms unable to even touch the hem of her clothes. At the same time, Rufion's snow-white, slender hands occasionally slashed at various parts of these metal creatures, her movements appearing gentle and exquisite, comparable to the most beautiful dance.

"Alright!" Rufion stepped back to Zoni's side, patting her clean, dust-free hands. The metal creatures that had been so menacing just moments before were now completely still, standing obediently in place.

"What are they..." Before Zoni could finish speaking, a series of thuds rang out... The once-imposing metal creatures all collapsed to the ground, their exteriors simultaneously shattering, eventually turning into piles of scrap metal.

"This is the Wind Dance Blade. You can start mastering it when you reach the ninth level of martial arts." Rufion seemed very relaxed, not even out of breath. To her, these metal contraptions were not only not a challenge, but not even a warm-up.

Clearing the obstacles, Zoni and Rufion approached the large pile of junk as they wished. Only when they got closer did they realize that it was not junk at all, but something very peculiar that they had never seen before. Its appearance was similar to a pile of iron boxes, with a large sloping surface at the front. The surface was smooth, but it was not steel. There were many protrusions of various shapes on the bottom, and strange symbols were marked next to each protrusion.

"What is this?" Rufion had traveled to many places on the continent and could be considered well-informed, but she knew nothing about the strange thing in front of her.

Although Zoni was far less knowledgeable than Rufion, he knew more about this than a hundred Rufions could.

That strange feeling returned, and Zoni instantly understood the symbols on the thing in front of him.

"New World Three, activate!" Zoni pressed one of the red protrusions.

"Buzz!" A sound like the rapid beeping of a bee's wings suddenly rang out, and the huge thing in front of her lit up.

Rufiein was startled and immediately became alert, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

"Don't be alarmed, this is New World Three activating!"

"You mean this strange thing is called New World Three? What does 'activate' mean? How do you know all this?" At this moment, Rufiein felt that Zoni was even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Zoni looked bewildered. "I... I don't know why I know these things, it just feels natural."

Zoni wasn't lying; he genuinely didn't know how he could control this strange thing, including subconsciously saying the password needed to enter the castle earlier. It felt as if another soul was controlling him to do this.

"Oh! Dr. Cui, you're finally back! Thank God, thank the Lord, thank God, thank all living beings! Let us cheer, let us dance, let us sing... and feel how wonderful this world is again!"

A series of incredibly noisy sounds bombarded Zoni and Rufion's ears at an extremely fast pace, almost making them faint.

"Shut up!" Zoni couldn't help but shout.

The sound stopped immediately, but then an even more intense barrage of sounds filled the space.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Who are you? Who is she? Who am I? This world is in chaos, everything is upside down!"

Both Zoni and Rufion had very keen hearing, and were especially sensitive to such noisy and piercing sounds, but they had no way to stop them and could only let them continue. Fortunately, after a while, the sound stopped on its own.

After a period of silence, the sound started again.

"So that's how it is. Such a long time has passed. Please don't move, you two. I need to scan you to confirm your identities."

Immediately, two beams of colored light enveloped Zoni and Rufion.

The speed of the light was so fast that Zoni and Rufion didn't even have time to show any intention of dodging before they were enveloped, time seemingly frozen: Zoni remained with a surprised expression, while Rufion remained in the position of her hand half-raised.

Only about a second later, the colored beams suddenly disappeared, and Zoni and Rufion finally reacted.

Waving to stop Rufion's attack, Zoni calmly asked, "What did you do to us?"

"Don't be nervous, I just did some small investigation. My name is New World Three, or you can call me Evil."

Sensing no malice from the other party, Zoni breathed a sigh of relief. "You are...you must be a computer, right? Strange, how do I know all this? What's a computer?"

Evil's voice trembled slightly. "Respected Half-Dr. Cui, according to my calculations, the fusion in the Super God Project is only 33% complete, and the evolution is 10%. The energy wells are completely depleted, making further evolution impossible. The destruction program is on its countdown; the machine island is about to disintegrate. I suggest leaving to find new energy."

Rufion couldn't understand a word Evil was saying; it was like hearing a half-orc speaking in the most obscure dialect. Zoni was somewhat better; at least he could understand some of the words, but he still couldn't understand the whole thing.

"To put it simply, this place is about to be destroyed. If you don't want to die, run for your life." The evil voice became more agile and varied.

"Destroyed?" Rufion and Zoni felt a slight tremor begin to spread beneath their feet, and this tremor was gradually increasing in intensity.

"Evil, what do we do?" Zoni was a little panicked, but he managed to remain calm. He guessed that in this critical moment, the evil would definitely have a way to get them out of danger: from the words just now, Zoni guessed that Dr. Cui might be the evil's former master, and since he was called half Dr. Cui, he should also be able to get its help.

"No problem, please do as I say."

A metal arm rose up, holding a glittering metal plate the size of a fingernail. Zoni followed the evil's instructions and placed the metal plate on his forehead. After a slight stinging pain, the metal plate disappeared into his skin.

At the same time, a ship-like metallic object emerged from a sudden crack in the ground. Zoni immediately pulled Rufion aboard... Then, a transparent shield automatically closed, completely sealing the ship.

"Boom!" A deafening roar came from the stern of the ship, and Zoni immediately felt an immense pressure pressing down on his body. The ship was hurtling along a dark tunnel at an unimaginable speed.

"Look! We've left Queen Island!" Compared to Zoni, Rufion was much more resistant to pressure. She turned her head and looked back, seeing Queen Island, where she had lived for eight hundred years, being left far behind.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The two, now far from Queen Island, suddenly saw a huge mushroom cloud rising in the direction of Queen Island. This strangely shaped cloud looked beautiful, but its beauty also exuded a sense of terror. Towering flames engulfed Queen Island, and the explosive shockwaves whipped up the nearby seawater, forcing it into a wall of waves that surged and crashed outwards like a tidal wave.

The towering waves, tens of meters high, were astonishing in their power and unimaginable in their speed. They roared and crashed in all directions, darkening the sky.

"The end of the world!" Zoni and Rufion thought of the same phrase simultaneously.

Chapter Six of Episode One: The Most Beautiful Scenery Lies in the Perilous Peak.

This was a deserted island, neither small nor large. The island itself was ordinary, except for the surrounding sea, which was filled with reefs of various shapes and sharp edges. These reefs likely prevented ships from approaching, leaving no trace of human habitation.

At the center of the island was a rather steep mountain peak. The summit appeared flat; Zoni knew this type of mountain was a volcano. Residents of the coast knew that most volcanoes were harmless, but some erupted, spewing terrifying lava and flames—though such volcanoes were extremely rare.

The metal boat carrying Zoni and Rufion, during their high-speed escape, was struck by a giant wave and eventually crashed uncontrollably into the reefs surrounding the island. It was now shattered into pieces and scattered on the seabed, but Zoni and Rufion were unharmed. They crossed the reefs and landed on the small island.

"We can't leave now. Let's wait here until a ship passes by. Hopefully, a ship will come."

"You keep watch here. I'll go get ready."

Since leaving the sea and landing on the island, Rufion's movements were so fast that even Zoni's laser eyes could barely see them. She hurriedly said this and then darted into the bushes like lightning.

Zoni knew why she was in such a hurry. During their time in the sea, all their clothes were completely soaked, revealing Rufion's beautiful, flowing curves. Although Zoni only caught a glimpse, her exquisite, curvaceous figure left a deep impression on him. Rufion, of course, knew that both of them were rather unsightly, so she hurriedly hid to dry her clothes.

"This woman, though a bit older, is still as shy as a young girl, and her figure is absolutely stunning.

Maybe she's even a virgin. If I could hold her and have some fun with her..."

Zonny conjured up erotic and lewd fantasies in his mind.

"Good idea. Mature women, older women, and lolis are the cream of the crop! Doctor, even though the fusion wasn't fully achieved, it seems your tastes haven't changed."

A sudden voice startled Zonny. He could clearly feel that it was a voice resounding directly in his mind, not something he heard through his ears. The voice was somewhat familiar; he quickly recognized it as belonging to that guy called "Evil."

"Where are you?"

"I'm inside your body, oh! Don't panic, let me explain."

Zoni wasn't overly surprised. He knew that there existed an extremely rare type of magical beast on the continent that could merge with humans. They usually hid inside their masters' bodies for summoning, so this didn't surprise him too much. He felt that all the bizarre things he had encountered should have a reasonable explanation, but Wan'e's explanation still shocked him to the point of speechlessness.

Simply put, in an incredibly distant era, there was a madman named Dr. Cui who wanted to become a god above all living beings. This guy therefore devised a series of detailed plans to achieve this goal, and the Super God Plan was the most important part of it.

The so-called Super God Plan was to evolve Dr. Cui into a god in both body and soul. However, he was unlucky. An accident occurred just before the plan was about to begin. Wan'e didn't know what the accident was. His last order was: to enter a complete dormant state and wait to be awakened again.

When Wan'e was activated by Zoni, it quickly understood the current situation. Those so-called white magic wells were actually energy wells, used to execute the Super God Plan. After a truly long period of time, these energy wells, though still operational, had lost their purpose. Dr. Cui had never appeared again, and the wells automatically attracted nearby human beings to their traps based on pre-determined conditions. They would then determine if the conditions were met; those that weren't would be reduced to nothing, not even bones. Zone was the only one in all these years to meet the conditions, and with a remarkably high degree of compliance. According to Wan E's calculations, he likely possessed Dr. Cui's bloodline, making him a direct descendant of Cui Bo Fa.

As for the strange things that inexplicably surfaced in Zone's mind, they were copies of Dr. Cui's memories, but these copies were damaged to some extent; he could only obtain a small portion.

Thinking of what Wan E had said, Zone felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead: if it weren't for their bloodline, he would have long since become fertilizer like the unfortunate souls who had set foot on Death Queen Island. However, Zone had never heard of a Dr. Cui among the Franklin family's ancestors. Of course, this was normal; the Franklin family's history was far too long, and its origins remained unclear.

"What's the final step of the God Transformation Project?" Zoni thought of his wicked mission.

"It's turning humans into gods, immortal beings with limitless power! However, your fusion and evolution are incomplete, so this step can't proceed. If you obtain sufficient energy, perhaps you can finally complete the evolution."

Zoni was a little disappointed, but he still felt a bright future unfolding before him. With such a miraculous encounter, he could not only take revenge but also make his enemies wish they were dead.

"My master, I sense a very strong resentment, and the source is you."

"That's right, I was framed and ended up on Queen Island... oh, Machine Island. I'll make my enemies pay for this, I'll make their families be destroyed!" Zoni was indeed filled with resentment. He was vengeful even for small things, let alone the deep hatred of having his manhood cut off and being pushed into the deep sea. He wouldn't be satisfied until he got his revenge.

"My dear master, you're now acting like Dr. Cui. I'd like to hear your revenge plan."

"Revenge plan?" Zoni was taken aback. He really didn't have any plan. Now that he thought about it carefully, taking revenge on a prince, who was backed by a powerful empire, was far from simple. The most urgent thing was to return to the mainland. Otherwise, any revenge would just be empty talk.

Rufion's appearance interrupted Zoni's thoughts. In the short time that followed, she had completely dried her wet clothes, and her beautiful curves were no longer visible.

"Master, this girl has a nice figure, but it's a pity she's wearing a mask. Hmm, her energy level is quite high, a terrifying woman."

It was clear that Rufion was in a good mood after escaping a cage that had imprisoned her for eight hundred years; her steps were light.

"How's it going, Zoni? Have any ships passed by?"

Zoni was frustrated. His laser eyes could see very far on the vast ocean, but within this range, he hadn't seen even a small boat. Perhaps no ships would ever pass by, and they would never be able to return to land.

"This place is very remote; perhaps no ships will ever pass by. We might have to stay here forever."

"Don't be so pessimistic. Eight hundred years on Queen Island has given me enough patience. At least we're lucky now; we've escaped that cage. Even if no ships pass by, we can cut down trees and build a raft." Rufion wasn't worried about her situation. For a strong person like her, even an isolated island overseas couldn't truly confine her.

"A raft can't withstand a storm. The most important thing now is to determine our location. We can't take any risks until the very last moment. I think we should check out this island; something's strange here."

The strangeness that Zoni mentioned was actually something Wan'e had discovered. Wan'e could scan and detect the energy of living beings, and it had just discovered an abnormal energy reaction on this island, roughly located on the volcano in the center of the island.

"It is indeed strange. There's a faint reaction of battle aura on that mountain over there. It's very weak, and it's really hard to notice if you're not paying attention." Reminded by Zoni, Rufion also noticed the strangeness. For a strong person like her, fluctuations in magic or battle aura within a certain range would attract their attention. This was a reaction that a strong person should have and must have.

Although the volcano was somewhat steep, it was no challenge for Rufion and Zoni, especially Rufion. She climbed the cliff as easily as walking on flat ground, which made Zoni's eyes light up. However, he wasn't praising Rufion's ability, but rather admiring her climbing posture. As Rufion climbed upwards, her firm, rounded buttocks displayed an unparalleled beauty as her long legs bent and straightened. Looking further up, her slender waist was so delicate it seemed one could encircle it with a single hand. Combined with the exquisite curves of her hips and thighs, Zoni wanted to pick her up, enter her from behind, and brutally play with her, making her laugh and cry, sending her to ecstasy.

"My dearest master, I feel an incredibly strong urge and need. You are truly a man among men. This chick is excellent, with a slim waist, a perky butt, high and firm breasts, and long thighs—this is your favorite type!" The evil creature jumped out again, rambling on. Fortunately, its words directly affected Zoni's brain, unheard by others; otherwise, Rufion would have exploded and instantly killed these two shameless scoundrels.

Zoni knew the evil creature was mistaking him for Dr. Cui again, but this was normal; in a sense, he was Dr. Cui's incarnation.

"Damn it, you have good taste. This woman is indeed a gem. If her face under the mask were even more beautiful, it would be even more spectacular." Zoni's lips curled into a lewd smile.

And so, Zoni followed behind Rufion, admiring the beauty of her swaying hips. If they hadn't soon approached the summit and Rufion's climbing hadn't stopped, Zoni might have been tempted to pick her up and penetrate her from behind. After all, her beauty was simply too alluring.

A thought flashed through Zoni's mind: "If Rufion were naked, wearing stockings on her long legs, and I entered her from behind, that feeling would be incredibly wonderful."

Just as they were about to reach the summit, Rufion stopped. She gestured to Zoni and whispered, "There are people up there. Let's not go up yet. Let's see what they're doing."

Zoni leaned close to Rufion. Now, he was extremely close to her, able to clearly smell her fragrance and faintly feel the warmth of her skin.

Zoni resisted the urge to embrace her slender waist and looked in the direction Rufion had indicated. He saw two men sitting on a large rock on the mountaintop, talking. One of the men was channeling his fighting spirit, occasionally pounding the rock with his fist, seemingly complaining about something. It was this action that triggered Wan'e and Rufion's senses.

The two men were dressed in what were called pirate attire, their identities immediately clear—they were pirates who roamed the seas. Their conversation piqued Zoni's interest.

The two pirates were vastly different in build; one was as thin as a stray dog in the city, the other as strong as a bear. However, judging from their conversation, it was obvious that the thinner pirate held a higher position.

The fat pirate, pounding his fist on the rocks, kept complaining, "Tracy, this is terrible! Why do we have to stay here instead of going down below to drink and eat? The wind here is cold and harsh. I miss April's warm room and that gentle, lovely girl."

The pirate named Tracy growled, "Pang, you big bear, shut up! The master ordered us to stay here, and we must obey obediently, even if it means dying here!"

The fat pirate Pang immediately shivered and dared not complain anymore, showing the unparalleled intimidation that Tracy's mention of the master had for him.

After a moment of silence, Pang asked in a low voice, "Tracy, what's going on with this elders' meeting? I saw that Black Rong, Sea Tiger, Octopus, and their gang came with a lot of trouble. They don't seem to have good intentions."

Tracy looked at him with some surprise: "You bear actually know how to use the phrase 'not good intentions.' I never would have guessed."

A smug smile spread across Pang's fat face. "This is just a smattering I've learned from following you, Master. It's nothing compared to your wisdom, which is as deep as the ocean." Tracy

chuckled and scolded him, then said with concern, "I shouldn't be telling you such confidential matters, but considering we've been brothers for so many years, I'll tell you anyway. You should know about the Seven Seas Alliance, right?" "

Of course I know! Everyone who makes a living on the sea knows about it, and I also know that our Golden Coral family is the number one in the Seven Seas Alliance!" Pang's tone was filled with extreme pride. "

I've heard of the Golden Coral family. What is the Seven Seas Alliance?" Rufion turned to look at Zone.

Zone knew that Rufion, who had been trapped on Queen Island for hundreds of years, didn't know these things, so he whispered an explanation in Rufion's ear, "It is said that the Seven Seas Alliance was a union formed by pirates from the seven seas five hundred years ago. Then, the strongest pirate crews from each sea formed an alliance council to control all the pirates."

As a resident of the maritime kingdom of Ponte, Zoni knew more about pirates than the inland humans.

The conversation between the two pirates continued. Tracy frowned. "You know, the lord often says, 'The bigger the tree, the more the wind blows.' Our Golden Coral family is renowned throughout the seven seas, occupying the richest part of the Ponte Sea. Many guys are jealous of us; they're trying every means to seize our profits."

"I'll kill these sons of bitches!" Pange, clearly a muscle-bound fool, roared furiously.

"You behave yourself; this is the lord's order!"

Upon hearing this, Pange immediately became much more subdued, muttering something to himself and falling silent.

Tracy's eyes flashed coldly. "Those guys from other seas are one thing, but the key is that many of our own people oppose you, sir. No! They're not our own people, they're traitors! Those old guys look down on your youth and are very dissatisfied with your leadership. They don't want to lose power, so they've joined forces with outsiders to try and suppress you."

"Isn't your master in danger?" Pang Ge suddenly stood up.

"Don't doubt your orders, sir. Your power is immense. Those old guys are no match for you. We're here to serve as your backup. If we join you at the right time, sir will surely achieve final victory."

"I knew sir was the wisest!" Pang Ge grinned widely.

"These two, one has the strength of a seventh-level mage, and the other has the strength of a seventh-level warrior. Their strength seems pretty good." Rufeine's perception of power was more accurate than Zoni's.

"I'm more interested in the sir they're talking about." Zoni said, while subtly glancing at Rufeine's body. The more he interacted with her, the more he felt the allure of this woman's body. The fragrance and heat emanating from her body, as well as her captivating curves, constantly ignited Zoni's lust. He felt that after being modified by the Super God Project, his body's need for women had increased significantly. If it weren't for Rufeine's strength, he would have already pinned her to the ground, stripped her clothes off, and brutally fucked her until he ejaculated into her alluring vagina.

"No matter what, there must be a ship under this volcano. Should we take down these two guys?" Having not fought for a long time, Rufeine was somewhat eager.

"Don't hurt them, just knock them out... Oh!"

Rufeine moved extremely fast. Before Zoni could finish speaking, she moved like the wind, instantly leaping to the summit and arriving in front of Tracy and Pang. Before these two pirates, who possessed considerable strength, could react, her attack swept in like lightning. In that brief moment, both of them were knocked down simultaneously.

Zoni was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This is the true strength of a powerful being! Compared to Rufeine's speed, the Green Tiger he had encountered before was merely a crawling infant.

"Alright." Rufeine clapped her hands, her tone relaxed and natural. "These two guys are still a bit weak. Hopefully, we'll encounter stronger challenges later."

"A warlike woman!" Zone clicked his tongue inwardly, while Wan'e was paying attention to another aspect.

"Master, this girl just unleashed twenty-eight punches in a single second! Amazing! Hmm, I need to analyze how she did that."

Zone examined the two unfortunate pirates and found that they were only temporarily unconscious: Rufeine's attacks were extremely measured, her control over power was incredibly precise.

"Found it."

Soon, Zone discovered an entrance in the center of the volcano's summit, with an iron ladder leading down. This was very likely the pirates' lair.

"They say there's a lot of treasure in pirate lairs, maybe we're going to get rich."

"Oh, I'm not interested in that. I just hope to encounter a strong opponent and have a really intense battle." "

An intense battle? I can grant you the most intense bedroom battle." Of course, Zoni only dared to think such things in his heart, not say them aloud in front of Rufion.

Soon the two of them went up the iron ladder into the volcano.
