The Westerner looked at Zhang Chen, completely dumbfounded.
He hadn't seen Zhang Chen do anything at all.
Merely standing on the deck, the surrounding deep-sea tearers had all disintegrated and vaporized.
This was far beyond what an ordinary survivor could achieve.
Could it be... this man before him was...
The almighty God sent to rescue him?!
The Westerner rejoiced, quickly making signs on his chest and murmuring prayers.
They were all words of thanks to God for his rescue.
Zhang Chen stood by the ship's rail and looked around.
Although these small deep-sea tearers had ordinary combat power and could be instantly killed by [Divine Scorch] + [Dark Draw].
For ordinary survivors, they lacked such area-of-effect skills.
Whether it was [Energy Strike] or physical attacks, they could only injure the deep-sea tearers, ultimately causing them to split endlessly.
[Crystal Core Resonance] had only a negligible effect on these creatures.
Because Zhang Chen had just instantly killed seven or eight small deep-sea tearers.
But the automatic collection had not received any prompts.
This meant that these small, splitting individuals had used all the crystal cores they consumed for their own rapid growth.
As a result, they themselves had no crystal cores or any other usable materials.
Without crystal cores, [Crystal Core Resonance] naturally had no effect.
These damned creatures produced nothing and split infinitely...
The main body of the deep-sea tearer had cunningly hidden in the deep sea, impossible to find!
Zhang Chen frowned and muttered to himself.
The greatest threat of these small deep-sea tearers wasn't that they themselves produced no crystal cores.
It was that during their growth, they absorbed and consumed the crystal cores of other survivors.
For instance, if a wave of a horde wiped out an entire survivor camp.
If Zhang Chen then appeared and eliminated the horde.
He would receive the crystal cores from the horde itself, plus a portion of the crystal cores from the deceased survivors.
This would be equivalent to Zhang Chen destroying the horde and the survivor camp.
But now, the deep-sea tearers had wiped out the survivors in the camp, but used the crystal cores for their own growth.
When Zhang Chen arrived and eliminated all the small deep-sea tearers, he didn't get a single crystal core; it was all effort without reward.
This was a massive loss!
Damn it, wasting my crystal cores!
Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and said.
But there was no other way in this situation.
The small deep-sea tearers were numerous and were still furiously attacking survivors.
The longer the delay, the more unimaginable the consequences.
[Soul Burn] Level 9!
Whoosh! Blue flames once again enveloped Zhang Chen.
[Flash Step]!
Zhang Chen instantly moved from one ship to another.
The powerful area-of-effect damage instantly shattered the small deep-sea tearers on the ship into white mist.
In this manner, he blinked from one ship to another.
A few minutes later, Zhang Chen had finally completely cleared out these small deep-sea tearers.
Each ship had suffered casualties to varying degrees.
The Westerner's fishing boat was the worst off, with only one Westerner holding a sacred artifact surviving.
The entire camp's population had been absorbed.
"Come, come aboard our ship!"
The True God Cult's ship slowly approached the Westerner, and Zhang Wenwen, with a smile, extended her hand to him.
"Thank you, thank you, almighty God!"
"You have not only sent your messenger to kill the demons, but now you have sent someone to rescue me!"
"I praise you, most almighty Lord~"
"I wish to serve you devoutly forever and spread your teachings..."
The Westerner knelt and bowed towards the sky several times, his hands constantly making signs on his chest.
"The one who just rescued you was not sent by God, but is a true god!"
"The fact that you were fortunate enough to witness his power shows you have a connection with the True God Cult."
"I suggest you abandon the false gods and believe in the true god whom our True God Cult serves, the one who can lead us to end this apocalypse!"
Zhang Wenwen said with a smile and a gentle voice.
"No, you are mistaken! Actually, both you and the person just now were arranged by God!"
"This is all God's will!"
"He heard my prayers and responded in his own way."
"The true god is omnipresent and omnipotent, not just some powerful survivor."
"When I go over, I will explain in detail how God created humanity, and that thousands of years ago, it was prophesied that humanity would suffer a great calamity, and that the dead would resurrect!"
"All people in the world will be judged again, and only believers in God will receive eternal life..."
After what had just happened, the Westerner's faith had not wavered.
Instead, it had become even firmer.
Adopting the demeanor of a missionary, he intended to spread God's wisdom to these ignorant people of the True God Cult.
Zhang Wenwen smiled and pulled the Westerner over.
After the ship had sailed a bit further, she suddenly turned her head and asked:
"Even though I just saved you, you still intend to spread your faith among us, is that right?"
The Westerner nodded earnestly and said, "You have gone astray, believing in false gods. I have an obligation to make you recognize the truth of the world!"
"Precisely because you saved me, I cannot let you continue to fall into depravity like this!"
Zhang Wenwen took out a bottle of coffee drink and placed it in the Westerner's hand, asking softly:
"I am willing to impress you with sincerity. Will you still spread different things, even if you know I will be very disgusted?"
The Westerner took a sip of the coffee and smiled, saying:
"The better you treat me, the more I should repay you with the best things, shouldn't I?"
"Letting you believe in God and receive his protection, isn't that the best form of repayment?!"
Zhang Wenwen nodded, took a few steps back, and suddenly shouted loudly:
"This person has also been infected! Hurry, someone!"
The nearby team members heard Zhang Wenwen's shout and quickly rushed over with gasoline.
Working together, one person poured gasoline on the Westerner, while the other used a torch to ignite it.
In an instant, the Westerner was engulfed in flames and ran around the ship, shrieking.
A team member, thinking a monster was about to break out, quickly stabbed the Westerner's body repeatedly with a long spear.
Then, more gasoline was poured on him...
Looking at the Westerner, who was surrounded by raging flames and motionless.
Zhang Wenwen's face showed no trace of pity.
After the body had been burned to a crisp and thrown into the sea.
She quietly took out another notebook, flipped to a new page, and wrote on the first line, "35th: Persuasion failed."
"I will continue to work hard!"
