Demon King Evolution History

"How deep is the dive?"

The captain in a blue diving suit asked in an impatient tone.

He belongs to a private diving investigation company and is a veteran with nearly ten years of diving experience.

This joking and cheerful man was very unhappy today, exuding a murderous anger all over his body.

Seemingly feeling helpless with the captain's attitude, the young pilot replied in an 'aggressive' manner.

"It has exceeded 4000 meters, and it is still 500 meters away from the submarine limit."

"...Did it really sink to such a place? That thing?"

The captain snorted unhappily.

They were commissioned to investigate the deepest part of the sea east of Itogami Island, with a water depth of more than 9000 meters.

Today there are only a handful of submarines capable of diving to that depth.

In other words, it is a forbidden area for humans.

"Is it a biological weapon from the age of mythology... It is said that the wreckage of that thing can be found near here. Where are these rumors? Probably some groundless legend or something?"

"Who knows. Maybe it was the murloc or something?"

"...Half fishman?"

"Haha, I'm just kidding. But this time the client is a company from the 'Demon Special Zone', right? Then it's not surprising even if you know someone in this area."

"Indeed. Then this kind of boring investigation should be 'handed over' to those guys by the way."

The captain sighed deeply after speaking in disgust.

It is said that traces of biological weapons manufactured in ancient times were the target of Isrus' search this time.

This too stupid job content is the reason why the captain is unhappy.

Speaking of which, the purpose of building the diving survey boat Isrus was to investigate and study the ecosystem and evolution process of deep-sea creatures.

It is obviously not its original task to unearth old antiques that cannot even be sure whether they are real or not.

"Anyway, I still don't think it's worth 'spending' so much money to find it. Isn't there a rumor that the ancient weapon Narakwara left by those in Tianbu was also easily destroyed by the special zone security forces? Entertainment star. "

"Is it referring to the thing that the Black Death Emperor sent to Itogami Island? Well, speaking of rumors, there is another saying that it was actually destroyed by the Fourth True Ancestor... If it is true, don't be too small It's better to look at ancient weapons... huh?"

The driver who had been watching the exploration display suddenly frowned suspiciously.

The captain looked at him with a surprised expression.

"what happened?"

"There is some discrepancy with the terrain data... It's here, can you tell?"

The screen the driver points to shows the CG-processed seabed topography.

The terrain data obtained from past surveys are reproduced in 3D images.

The image displayed with frame lines is the real-time situation obtained by the sonar of Isrus.

The two data that should have been completely consistent were strangely misaligned.

There is an area of ​​the ocean floor that spans several kilometers and bulges slightly upwards.

"It doesn't seem to be an error caused by the sonar being affected by the variable temperature layer. Is it the abnormal bulge of the seabed?"

"No... there is no sign of volcanic activity in this sea area. This shape... it looks like some kind of creature..."

"biology?"

How could it be possible that the captain stared at the pale profile of the pilot and marveled.

However, the analysis picture of the sonar on the screen is irregularly changing its shape little by little.

It does look a lot like a creature crawling on the ocean floor.

A crocodile or a snake with a length of several thousand meters, or perhaps a giant dragon.

"How could such a creature exist...it's too big...it's just...really a mythical monster..."

The captain was trying to convince himself, but the pilot next to him suddenly screamed.

Immediately afterwards, a torrent like an explosion hit the submarine in an instant.

That's a strong deep ocean 'wave' with water pressure 4000 meters below sea level

The violent vortex that appeared near the bottom of the sea rolled Isrus like a leaf.

The pressure shell protecting the driver's seat made a screaming sound when it was strongly squeezed.

The source of the vortex is already obvious without confirmation.

is a monster.

The huge monster sunk on the bottom of the sea moved slightly.

Just like this, it created a strong shock 'wave' radiation around the secret.

"Indeed... Confirmed the pulse 'wave' of biological magic power! This guy...is alive..."
