Ooh~~~
A low hum abruptly sounded from outside the long hall, almost shaking the stone walls.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
The trembling sensation came from the flagstones underfoot, growing stronger with each beat. Everyone looked around in confusion.
The stone walls were really starting to shake!
"Wet Hair" Euron looked up in surprise and hesitation, glancing around. Had the Drowned God responded to His servant?!
Silence filled the hall.
Horns blared throughout Pyke, and the soldiers surrounding the long hall screamed in terror, their cries becoming more rapid, sharp, and desperate.
"Monster! Monster! Kraken..."
The narrow windows were instantly blocked by climbing shadows, and a strong smell of the sea continuously poured into the long hall from the shadows.
The long hall plunged into darkness.
After only half a breath, a great light shone forth from the Dragon Glass token in the female messenger's hand.
However.
The light revealed the dark terror outside the hall.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on the windows, staring in disbelief at the wriggling white flesh and teeth.
Were these suckers from a squid's tentacle?
But they were too big! A window the size of a human head couldn't even show a complete sucker?!
A Kraken?!
"Your Majesty, there's a big fellow outside." The sorcerer maintaining the enclosed cage of the long hall reported in a low voice.
A statement of the obvious.
It was close enough now to sense it with his mind. Joffrey knew more and was more accurate.
The Kraken, shaped like a giant squid, was at least a hundred meters long, wrapping its eight tentacles around the entire Main Keep. Two even longer tentacles repeatedly contracted, shot out, and struck the outer wall of the long hall.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
"Your Majesty," the sorcerer reported urgently, "The stone walls are collapsing, and the Divine Grace is almost depleted!"
"Let go, let it destroy."
Joffrey looked towards the target of the Kraken's strikes. "Crow's Eye" Euron was right beside it.
Was this Crow's Eye's hidden trump card for his early return?
A giant Kraken?
This wasn't in the original story, how did he get it?
Noticing Joffrey's gaze, Euron nodded politely, "The gods are playing games, and kings are starting wars. King Joffrey, who will win?"
Crack!
The stone wall suddenly shattered, and sunlight, along with a giant tentacle, rushed into the long hall.
Curses and gasps began to erupt.
Everyone scrambled to the other side of the long hall, preferring close contact with the steamed and roasted corpses underfoot rather than getting near the Kraken.
Only "Wet Hair" Euron stood rooted to the spot, shouting with fanatical obsession: "The Drowned God is angry! He has sent an emissary from the sea, and He will punish all sinners who disrespect Him! The curse of Kinslaying has fallen!! Those who defy the Drowned God will ultimately fall into hell!!"
Euron cursed almost everyone present.
"Crow's Eye" Euron curled his lip, "Little brother, look carefully, this is the assistant I summoned."
Euron pointed.
The giant tentacle suddenly shot into the crowd, wrapping around a pile of corpses and a few screaming living people, then sent them outside the stone wall, down to the sea below.
Shouts and pleas gradually faded away, growing weaker, and disappeared completely after the final high-pitched cry.
The Kraken was feeding, like a squid catching fish.
People could imagine the scene.
Euron smiled and expressed his thanks, "Thank you, King Joffrey. Cooked meat is rare in the sea, it's very satisfied and excited."
"No! The Drowned God would never~" "Wet Hair" Euron had gone limp, lying on the ground and muttering blankly.
Joffrey was calm and composed.
"You're not here, are you?" Crow's Eye stated with certainty.
"This isn't your true body. You're waiting at Storm's End to hunt the Black Stag. I saw it."
Another damned prophecy? Joffrey cursed inwardly.
"We can join forces. You and your gods, me and mine." Crow's Eye suggested with interest.
"The stars bleed, burning everything," Crow's Eye continued, "Doomsday will come, and then the world will be reshaped in its shattering, everything can be changed."
"My Iron Islands, plus your Seven Kingdoms, we can become kings of the entire world!"
Everyone looked towards the Seastone Chair.
"How boring."
Joffrey, who had been sitting upright, twisted his body, suddenly placed one foot on the seat of the Seastone Chair, propped his chin with one hand, rested the other on his knee, and leaned against the armrest, looking completely dissolute.
"How about we play a game."
Joffrey raised his chin. "My people will be the hunters, and you'll be the prey. If you escape once, I'll give you an extra day to run. How about that?"
The Ironborn were instantly stunned. As things stood now, Crow's Eye clearly had the advantage!
"Hah~"
Crow's Eye laughed first, then held his forehead, rocked back and forth, and laughed hysterically. "Hahahaha..."
The giant tentacles continued to grope for food.
Gradually, some Ironborn joined the ranks of the mockers, and then more and more.
Joffrey was completely indifferent.
They were just a few more rebels, perfect for a more thorough cleanup.
And Crow's Eye. Although some unexpected things had happened to this fellow, he was ultimately not a worthy opponent to be nervous about.
A single Kraken thinks it can rival the Weave?
Joffrey didn't know who had given Crow's Eye the relevant prophecy. But he was certain of one thing: Crow's Eye had definitely not seen the whole picture.
After all, who would willingly run to their death?
Joffrey glanced at the tentacles wrapping around the corpses, a faint curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The laughter, whether mad or echoing, lasted for a long time.
Afterward.
Crow's Eye straightened up again, put away his smile, and stared at Joffrey on the Seastone Chair with a serious and cruel gaze.
The Ironborn immediately fell silent.
"King Joffrey, if I can't keep you this time, these people around you will be its food."
Crow's Eye slowly raised his arm and pointed forward.
The two tentacles in the great hall began to contract, and two more tentacles crawled towards the opening.
Joffrey chuckled, "Explode!"
All the tentacles in everyone's sight immediately trembled violently, flailing blindly and erratically, striking the walls. Several Mutes who were hit instantly exploded against the stone walls!
Woo~~!
The low hum sounded again, but it carried a hint of wailing and painful cries.
Osha waved her hand and shouted, "Throw!"
The Steam Sprayers whizzed through the air, accurately passing through the gap in the stone wall and hitting the Kraken's tentacles outside the wall.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
Metal shards flew everywhere, light flashed brightly, and air currents surged.
Heat waves rushed into the great hall from the opening, and over a dozen more Mutes were steamed, roasted, torn apart, and had their internal organs shattered by the shockwave.
The surviving Ironborn huddled against the walls in the depths, looking at the high platform with surprise and doubt.
One person controlled the flowing Steel, reshaping it into that strange box-like structure, and water mixed with blood flowed into the water tank!
Drowned God...
A victorious smile hung on Joffrey's lips.
After the Kraken swallowed the first round of corpses, he had secretly buried Fire Magic Energy in the pile of corpses, and then activated it inside the Kraken's belly.
"Too greedy, that's not good, is it?"
Joffrey looked at Euron.
Euron's body twisted, and he screamed madly, as if personally experiencing the Kraken's pain.
Finally.
Euron tore off the eyepatch over his left eye, revealing an evil Black Pupil Red Eye, like a demon's.
The Kraken's tentacles became much more docile, then rushed into the great hall, forming a wall of flesh, occasionally shooting out to various parts of the hall.
The Royal Guard immediately protected Joffrey.
"Ironborn, remember today!"
Euron rushed towards the opening.
"The Kraken has been reborn! The Iron Islands will finally rule the world!!"
Euron leaped.
The giant tentacles contracted and retreated together, seemingly intending to prey on Euron.
Splash~
The Kraken submerged into the sea, stirring up giant waves.
