The Nibelung is indeed collapsing. Not only is the sky collapsing and the sea surging, but even some of the basic features that built the Nibelung are disappearing... The sound of the tide is getting clearer and more real.

Real light, temperature is dropping sharply, even the flow of time is getting faster, and everything is moving closer to the normal world orbit.

Sure enough, as Chu Zihang had guessed when he first entered here, the clouds in the sky were not real clouds, but sea water... In other words, this island was built deep in the Arctic Ocean, and the sky and the ground were filled with cold sea water.

This is the only place where it feels like spring all year round.

According to this inference, this entire sea area should be included in the depths of the Arctic Ocean, which is vast enough to mark a large area on the earth.

But why did it suddenly collapse? Because the two of them pried too many coffins, which angered the owner? Or was it because they knew the name of a heroic spirit and violated a certain rule?

It was unclear, but Chu Zihang vaguely felt that the problem did not lie with the two tomb robbers on his side.

"Get out of here quickly! This place is about to collapse!"

The two of them had no time to think about this problem. They immediately went down the mountain, rushed back to the Yamal against the tide, and figured out a way to escape.

"No, this lamp won't light." Chu Zihang tried to squeeze blood into the kerosene lamp, but it had no effect, as if it was a disposable thing.

Now it's difficult to deal with it. Although the icebreaker at your feet has had a glorious history, it is now equivalent to a ghost ship and has no ability to move. What's more, it is stranded on the beach.

The only usable vehicle now is the rubber assault boat driven from the Xiagu. Using this to get out is no less difficult than driving an old museum sailboat to complete a global voyage.

Before any specific countermeasures could be developed, the entire giant ship suddenly sank, as if it was being sucked into the swamp. Water flowed into the cruise ship from all directions, and the corridors and rooms sank one by one underwater.

"The buoyancy of the water is disappearing!" Fingel immediately understood what was going on.

Beyond their imagination, the island's collapse was not only a visual disaster, but also the disappearance of certain physical properties, such as the buoyancy of water.

Not only the Yamal, but the entire island was crumbling and sinking. The torrent falling from the sky fell towards the center of the island, and the ocean swept everything on the island with incomparable majestic power.

Whether it is strange stone carvings or cypress trees up to 100 meters high, even the noble and majestic coffin is constantly rising and floating under the impact of the sea water, like an ancient civilized city being torn apart.

"There is no way out." On the deck of the Yamal, Chu Zihang looked into the distance.

On the sea in the distance, whirlpools appeared one after another, as if there was an invisible black hole siphoning everything in the depths of the sea. The icebreaker beneath the feet was about to sink completely below the sea level. Cold seawater kept rolling into the deck and lapping at it.

At their feet.

"Maybe we can try that one?" Fingel pointed his eyes at the pier on the beach.

Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was unexpected and reasonable.

That simple pier should have been their first investigation target after landing on the island, but because they didn't follow the path up the mountain, they didn't take a close look.

At this moment, the pier made of stones is sitting in the huge waves. It feels unexpectedly peaceful. Just looking at it, it seems that even the sound of the tide and the danger are far away.

However, this feeling did not last long. The water suddenly broke out, and a fierce wave crashed on it, dragging it into the depths of darkness.

But the next moment, an elf-like white boat floated up like a dolphin leaping out of the water, miraculously surviving!

That's...the ship that the God of Death rides on!

It had always been parked at the pier, but the two of them had not had time to check it. They did not expect that it would appear in such a dramatic way.

Is it really possible to ride on it? Death’s ship?

The answer is of course yes. He has successfully used Death's lamp, so of course Death's ship can also be used.

"Just take that boat. It looks like the correct answer was pushed to us specially." Chu Zihang said.

At the moment, that is the only feasible way to escape. The buoyancy of the entire sea area is failing, and it is the only one standing proudly on the sea.

The only problem now is how to get on it. The boat is still quite far away from the two of them at sea. When the buoyancy of the sea water disappears, this distance can kill people at any time.

"Jump over! Before the buoyancy completely disappears!" Chu Zihang said in a desperate tone.

The two of them took off all the extra weight and rushed towards the small boat floating on the sea with all their might.

Falling into the sea water, Chu Zihang was surrounded by a cold touch. Under the influence of three bursts of blood, his strength increased unprecedentedly and he struggled to fight against the sea water.

Grains

Almost...

Just the last bit...

He could no longer swim. The water was getting heavier and heavier, and his buoyancy had almost completely disappeared. There was no fulcrum to rely on, and he seemed to be slowly falling into nothingness.

Chu Zihang watched helplessly as the boat got further and further away from him, and the aperture above his head began to shrink, which meant that he was getting further and further away from the sea level and sinking deeper and deeper into the sea water.

Is this his ending? He didn't die in a head-on confrontation with the Dragon King, but drowned in the sea water. He actually thought it was funny to usher in the ending in this way.

The only good news was that Fingel was accompanying him to make fun of him. The two of them sank deeper and deeper into the water together, swimming desperately like a duck trying to flap its wings and fly.

Speaking of which, he should have left the world forever in the early winter of 2012 in the previous timeline, but he was able to fight until now because of one coincidence after another.

This ending may not be so bad.

"Don't make peace with death easily, keep fighting!"

A loud voice welled up from the depths of his soul, as if a monarch was giving an edict on the steps behind him... It seemed familiar, unforgettable, and moved people to tears. Chu Zihang subconsciously turned around, but he didn't see it.

To the girl who used to watch behind him with strange eyes.

Before Chu Zihang could turn around, the smile on his face that was about to reconcile with death disappeared, replaced by a ferocious and stern look, and the golden eyes were unprecedentedly violent.

He didn't know where he burst out with more strength, and he grabbed the soft sea water fiercely, using it as a fulcrum to push upward.

He successfully jumped out of the sea, climbed onto Death's white ship, and then stretched out the rope he carried under the water.

"then!"

With one exertion, he dragged Fingel out of the water, and the two of them boarded the boat in embarrassment.

The collapse of the Nibelungs was still going on, and on the white ship that was drifting away, the two of them silently watched this grand destruction.

"I wonder if it's an illusion, but every ancient ruins related to the Dragon Clan civilization will be completely destroyed for various reasons within three hours after they are revealed again... This is almost going to be a joke."

Fingel didn't have much energy to complain.

"The Dragon Clan is such a creature. In history, people actually had many opportunities to capture a complete ancient dragon, but they would self-destruct before completely losing their ability to resist, leaving not a single scale, not even a single cell. The Dragon Clan

The ruins seem to have inherited this characteristic of dragons." Chu Zihang's eyes also fell on Avalon in the distance, watching this island full of mysteries of dragon civilization gradually sinking to the bottom of the sea in the torrent of the sky.

Both of them behaved calmly. Although there was no safety at the moment, there was nothing they could do. The boat was not equipped with oars, and their equipment was empty. Their progress was entirely driven by waves.

Facts have proved that this boat is indeed the correct solution to escape from here. No matter how many meters high a huge wave hits, the momentum will weaken after a certain distance close to the boat and turn into a weak wave.

The boat also seems to have self-awareness, actively avoiding vortex areas and water falling from the sky, and accurately stepping on the safety zone during every section of the voyage.

It didn't take long for the two of them to re-enter the thick blue-gray fog area. The noisy sounds of destruction were isolated on the other side of the fog, and only the water surface was shaking gently.

After confirming that it was temporarily safe, Fingel lay down with relief.

First, he spied the secret that pointed directly to the center of the world, and then witnessed the magnificent destruction. The rounds of shock completely drained his desire for verbal expression. Now he just wanted to cool down for a moment.

"Junior brother, it's time to talk about you." He looked at Chu Zihang with penetrating eyes, "Although you said you only learned about this place from the captain's notes, your performance is too calm.

Bar?"

Chu Zihang was stunned. Since he had been thinking about the problem since he landed on the island, he really had no time to pretend to be shocked and pretend that it was his first time landing on the island.

"There's also Odin, heroic spirits, and so on. I have to give you an explanation, right?" Fingel sat down cross-legged, showing an expression that he wanted to listen to the story.

Chu Zihang slowly leaned against the stern of the boat, his expression quickly becoming tired: "Sorry, let me rest first."

If it were just three bursts of blood, it wouldn't have consumed so much of his physical strength. The main reason was the voice that sounded deep in his soul. It was like an irreversible imperial edict and caused Chu Zihang to explode with power beyond his upper limit.

There is no doubt that that is the mark Jormungandr left on him operating.

After several long years, Chu Zihang finally felt the other person's presence again.
