Joffrey attempted to converse with it.
The will linked through the Runes was indeed different from the previous Kraken, and vastly different from all Humans and creatures under the Weave's shroud.
It possessed a relatively equivalent Information Rune. The original mirror had become its unique power.
Both sides were evenly matched.
"You call me Newcomer?" Joffrey tentatively asked, "Could it be that you are also an Emissary sent by The Gods? Ordered to fight against the Evil God and Doomsday?"
The Depth Charges were being continuously deployed, with enough Supplies to last for another quarter of an hour.
"Who knows, I've forgotten many things," its "words" carried a faint laziness. "Could you do me a favor and tell me, which specific God sent you? With a name, perhaps I can remember something..."
The Kraken's pursuit did not slow down.
Joffrey's little scheme did not succeed either. However, he could finally confirm his earlier guess: its intelligence far surpassed that of the Kraken, at least no worse than Humans.
Coupled with this power and marvelous ability that transcended the era.
A Wizard? A God?
"I'm afraid, like you, I have also forgotten a great deal," Joffrey tried to appear sincere.
"Perhaps we were old friends once."
Joffrey conveyed a sense of sorrow and regret. "Why has it become like this now? You hit me, I hit you, all we get is harm."
It seemed somewhat moved. "Indeed, why?"
The negotiation appeared harmonious.
But the covert confrontation between the two sides did not stop for a single moment.
The Kraken occasionally cried out, attempting to trigger the fuses controlling every cannonball and bomb, thereby removing obstacles in its path, or even directly detonating the Divine Grace.
Joffrey, on the other hand, desperately expanded his control over Information Magic Power.
The previous change had a significant impact.
The Information Rune could be said to be the Core of the Weave construction system. Most tools and weapons were manipulated primarily by the Information Rune, and the Light Screen was also a product of information flow.
There were also various pre-set Magic Power, Fire, light, sturdiness... all the stored energy waiting to be used was triggered by Information Magic Power.
It was no exaggeration to say that information was the brain of the Weave.
But the mirror on the Kraken's body had lost control, becoming an independent second brain.
It was simply a disaster.
Both sides had obtained the "remote control" for a large amount of pre-set Magic Power within the Weave system. The fully armed Divine Grace had also become a dangerous volcano, ready to erupt at any moment, destroying everything it encountered.
The situation instantly reversed.
The Kraken keenly exploited the Loophole in the Weave system, gaining control of some abilities through the Information Rune, stealing immense immunity, and being able to cause maximum damage to the Weave from within.
Caught off guard at first, the Kraken's voice even spread throughout the entire Fleet, and the Magic Power within it destroyed the entire Fishing Net.
But this only lasted for a moment.
Reacting quickly, Joffrey operated the Runes and finally stabilized the advantageous control over most of the area.
He was still the master of information.
Except for the thousand-meter radius around the Kraken, that was its Domain.
Beyond a thousand meters from the Kraken, the Magic Power in its voice was suppressed and could not trigger the fuses on the cannonballs and bombs, allowing the Fire to exert its original power.
But what use was a distance of a thousand meters?
At most, it could only slow down the Kraken's steps, but could not cause it fatal damage.
What was even more worrying was that the Kraken's control area did not gradually decrease as the distance between the two sides shortened; it remained a thousand meters.
So.
What would happen when it approached within a thousand meters?
It was not hard to imagine.
To prevent the Divine Grace from instantly exploding into a fireball, Joffrey could only desperately regain control of the Magic Power, compress the Kraken's Domain, and call out to the Rune mirror that had lost its connection.
He also had to stall it. "To show friendship. What do you want? I can try my best to help. We are not enemies, are we?"
"Of course," it said. "I have no ill will towards you, just curiosity."
Joffrey didn't believe it. Because of curiosity, it sent the Kraken and Crow's Eye, secretly observing, and was still pursuing so closely at this time?
"For you, what could be strange? This ship?"
Joffrey smiled in response.
"Although my true body is not here, I can still make decisions. What's the harm in giving it to you?"
This was indeed an acceptable price.
And it also showed his confidence. At least it would make it seriously consider whether it was worthwhile to provoke a powerful enemy that had not been destroyed.
Yet, He seemed not to care at all.
"I'm sure you know by now, I'm not that naive little fellow from before. I've long passed the age of loving toys."
A Kraken is considered a little fellow?
"So that 'little fellow' is your pet?" Joffrey asked curiously.
"It must be hard to raise, wouldn't it need to eat several whales a day? It's hard to imagine that whales still exist in this world."
He replied, "A pet that sleeps year-round doesn't require much worry. Besides, it just woke up."
Joffrey questioned, "Is it because of Magic Power?"
He responded, "You could say that. Some people call it that: Magic Power, Magic, Sorcery."
Joffrey immediately understood, "No wonder. Magic Power has just begun to recover, it hasn't officially started yet. It's still too early for your pet. But I can help you 'feed' it, with my savings."
He seemed to become a little interested, "I can see you have quite a bit of accumulation. Although the method is very risky."
By this time, the Kraken was only 1.5 kilometers away from the "Divine Grace". Even with the continuous dropping of excessive Depth Charges to hinder it, it would take at most two minutes.
But Joffrey's attention was entirely focused on Him.
"Risky?" Joffrey couldn't help but question, "What's risky about it? They are all my dependents."
"Dependents? Newcomer, it's best not to use that word lightly."
He countered, "How do you think I helped it break free from your control? That fake 'Proof of Heroism' you gave it?"
Joffrey immediately understood that He called the Rune "Proof of Heroism".
He humbly said, "Please enlighten me."
He smiled with satisfaction. Even the Kraken stopped pressing forward, maintaining a safe distance of 1.5 kilometers.
"First, I have to thank you for letting me experience this wonderful power," He said.
"Looking at it now, the Valyrian Wizards were a bunch of fools! They only knew how to use this power to do those things. They were truly uncreative, and deserved to be destroyed. But you..." He chattered on.
Joffrey waited quietly.
He finally got to the point, "...But you're just getting started, newcomer. The Proof of Heroism is just the first step."
Joffrey was thoughtful.
He continued, "Your Soul aura is too mixed, clearly involved in too many Domains. However, none of them have truly taken shape yet."
"As for this body of yours, it has a lot of potential and is very useful."
He smiled, "That's right, you are far away in Storm's End, naturally very safe. Relax, I won't do anything to you."
"I am here to help you."
