Chapter 42: The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Statement — I'm Not a Butcher
Indeed, pursuing one's goals at any cost may be shameless—but it's not necessarily wrong.
After all, the Sea God targeted the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, a soul beast, not a human.
Still, none of this changed how irritated Lin Yu felt about the Sea God.
Especially because that "so-called divine" passed his godhood to Tang San.
And now Bo Saixi, using the Sea God's hypocritical words to morally pressure Lin Yu, only made him more annoyed.
[Lin Yu (mocking): Bo Saixi, I know who you are—the Sea God's priestess. But I've always been curious. You keep calling the Deep Sea Demon Whale King some evil beast. So tell us—how exactly is he evil? Come on, be specific!]
This human…
Inside the livestream room, when the Deep Sea Demon Whale King saw Lin Yu's public defense of him, he was stunned.
When Bo Saixi had spoken earlier, the whale king had actually begun to despair.
He hadn't done anything wrong—had barely even left his Demon Whale Sea.
Yet thanks to Sea God Island's relentless slander, his name was foul both in the sea and on land.
He was sure Lin Yu, like all humans, would turn on him the moment Bo Saixi labeled him a monster.
But… unexpectedly, this human boy had spoken up for him!
Meanwhile, on Sea God Island—
Bo Saixi was momentarily speechless when she read Lin Yu's retort.
She realized… she couldn't actually cite any specific evil deeds.
She remembered the Sea God once said the whale king was a savage butcher who loved to slaughter other sea soul beasts and aimed to devour all marine life.
But that was a vague statement—she had no concrete examples.
[Bo Saixi (after long hesitation, gritting her teeth): He… he once attacked Sea God Island and stole our foundation artifact!]
Sea God Island? What kind of force was that?
Seeing Bo Saixi's message, many of the mainland powers grew curious.
From the exchange, it was clear Bo Saixi—or rather, her Sea God Island—had some long-standing grudge against the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
But considering the whale king's terrifying power, if Sea God Island wasn't powerful itself, it would've been destroyed long ago.
The name "Sea God Island" implied it was an island—meaning it was in the ocean.
Right in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's domain.
Still, not everyone was unfamiliar with it.
Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Clan knew about it. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had records.
[Lin Yu (coldly): That doesn't count. Your Sea God Island had a feud with the whale king—so he retaliated. That's just revenge.
You claim he's evil—then give us real examples. Did he wipe out a region of sea soul beasts? Attack human port cities? Tell us!]
Lin Yu never liked Sea God Island—especially not after everything involving Tang San.
And now Bo Saixi had tried to guilt-trip him. It was the perfect time to ask the question that had lingered in his mind since finishing Douluo Dalu in his past life:
Was the Deep Sea Demon Whale King ever actually evil?
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi couldn't respond to Lin Yu's second round of questioning.
Even the current queen of the Devil Spirit Great White Shark Clan, Sea God's former mount Xiao Bai, would admit:
Other than one assault on Sea God Island, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had never left the Demon Whale Sea.
He had never committed genocide or attacked cities.
But seeing a brilliant young genius like Lin Yu publicly defending the "evil" whale king made Bo Saixi even more anxious.
[Bo Saixi (deep breath): The Sea God said it himself—the whale king is a savage killer. If he evolves into a million-year dragon, he will devour all life. The Sea God can't be wrong. Child, you're human. Don't side with evil soul beasts!]
More moralizing.
Lin Yu was utterly disgusted now.
And her logic?
He was ready to burst out laughing.
Devour all life on the planet—and then what? Starve to death?
Any educated person would know that made no sense.
Ah, right… this was an ancient world. Maybe Bo Saixi had never been taught to think critically.
[Lin Yu (mocking): Seriously, Bo Saixi? He'll devour the entire world and then what—starve himself? Are you even listening to yourself? Stop being ridiculous.]
[Look—there's no one in the Endless Sea strong enough to challenge him now. If he were truly evil like you say, wouldn't he already be out there slaughtering everyone? Why is he still sitting in his territory like always?]
[You people from Sea God Island keep repeating lies and expect us to believe them. That only works on idiots.]
At that moment, the livestream wasn't just being watched by mainland soul masters. Sea soul masters were present too.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's arguments, many sea soul masters began to question things too.
He was right.
The whale king had always been portrayed as this evil threat—
But hadn't he stayed in his sea, never once leaving?
If he was the butcher everyone claimed, and with no Sea God left to stop him,
Why hadn't he started massacring soul beasts or destroying cities?
Meanwhile, in the Demon Whale Sea—
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King watched Lin Yu argue on his behalf, slapping down Bo Saixi's slander.
A surge of admiration and goodwill flooded his heart.
[Demon Lord (coldly): @Lin Yu — That's enough, boy. She can't answer you. She's Poseidon's priestess. She's been brainwashed.]
[Sure, I look big and scary. I eat a lot. That's true. But I've never randomly slaughtered sea soul beasts. Ever.
Why? Because if I did, and the sea soul beasts fled or went extinct—then yes, I'd starve. Why would I ruin my own food chain?
In reality, I mostly eat things like Deep Sea Phosphor Shrimp—plentiful, fast-breeding soul beasts. Occasionally I indulge in others for variety.
But I stay in my Demon Whale Sea. No soul beast over 10,000 years dares approach. So any I've eaten were under 10,000 years—once in a while.
As for attacking fishing boats—that's to protect my territory. If I let them take all my food, I'll starve. Simple.
But with my power, I could easily have killed everyone on those boats. Yet I never did. I only sank the boats. If people died, it was from drowning. That's not on me.
I've never committed genocide. These lies came from Poseidon, who smeared me for the sake of ascending to godhood!]
By the end, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was visibly furious.
