Subscriber of the Gods Episode 250
Episode 250. The Unexpected
Ethan and his group arrived at the vast ocean along the sea route and prepared to enter the deep waters in earnest.
-You must enter in three stages. Otherwise, your physical abilities may decline due to the water pressure, and in the worst case, you may die.
-And another thing you need to be careful of is… … .
“It’s a whirlpool.”
Ethan read the strange currents in the water’s flow.
The energy that goes against the flow.
It was a sea whirlpool.
Normally, this vortex wouldn’t be much of a problem. If the fishmen changed the flow of the vortex, even a human like Ethan could easily pass through it.
But at present it was impossible to change the flow of the vortex.
-Yes, that’s right. There was a small whirlpool on the way to Waterpia, but now it has turned into a large whirlpool. We barely managed to get out of it.
The whirlpool itself has become so violent that it is difficult to control.
-Just like a blade… …it has changed.
-If we go in without permission, we’ll be chopped into small pieces.
The fishermen shuddered.
‘It’s a whirlpool.’
Beyond the monsters, this time it was a whirlpool.
-And beyond that whirlpool… … .
-There is a monster that is more dangerous than any monster we have seen so far.
-It’s so huge… … .
-He’s an unmanageable guy. He shouldn’t be here in the first place.
Ethan decided to first check how big the vortex was.
“Let’s go and see for now.”
As we went inside with the fishermen, we could feel the ocean currents gradually getting stronger.
Until now, the ocean currents had moved only slightly if you were still, so you could move as you pleased. But now, you had to keep moving your body to stay in the water flow.
‘It’s drifting away.’
No, to be exact, I was being dragged to a specific place.
Ethan immediately summoned Lucas.
The summoned Lucas was surprised to find out that he was underwater, then injected mana into Ethan and quickly disappeared.
Ethan, who received mana from Lucas, injected more mana into the artifact and moved straight towards the vortex.
Wheaaa …
“this…….”
Eventually, Ethan came face to face with the whirlpool the fishermen had spoken of.
It was a huge whirlpool. Just watching it from afar, sucking in everything nearby and tearing it apart, was enough to make you break out in a cold sweat.
With that huge whirlpool blocking the sea route, I thought it would be difficult to even get close to it, let alone control the flow.
“It’s even more amazing that you guys got out.”
Rather, I couldn’t help but admire the swimming skills of the fishermen who made it through that crazy whirlpool.
‘There’s another monster out there that’s even harder to handle?’
Monster, you can go and check for yourself, but the problem right now is getting through that whirlpool. You can’t get through that whirlpool without an overwhelming swimming ability.
I had no trouble getting here with the power of the artifact, but I didn’t have the swimming skills to get through that whirlpool.
‘So, your physical abilities are bound to be limited in the water. So, there’s nothing you can do about it.’
At this rate, it is impossible to even get through the whirlpool, let alone get to Waterpia.
“I’ll just go upstairs for a moment.”
Hydroscale nodded.
Even if he’s Ethan, there’s nothing he can do. If a human wants to pass through that massive vortex, they have to borrow magical powers.
Wizards who can perfectly use magic underwater have no choice but to block the whirlpool and go inside.
-Ethan Wickers, please return to the mainland and gather reinforcements. We also have this letter from His Majesty. He said that if we show this letter to the Emperor of the Holy Empire, he will immediately gather reinforcements.
The fishmen units dispatched to the land to request assistance all had letters to deliver to the Holy Empire Emperor.
For some reason, it seems that there was a unit that delivered the letter to the Pope, but the contents were all letters addressed to the Holy Empire Emperor.
If the Pope goes to Waterpia first and the Emperor’s reinforcements are added, Waterpia will be able to overcome the crisis it is facing.
The fishmen who had risen above the water with Ethan looked back slightly. It would take quite some time to return to land, but it was a better option than dying.
Shhhhh!
Ethan pulled a boat out of his subspace pocket. It was much larger than the sailboat the mercenaries had pulled out of the lake.
Push-.
The fishermen suddenly looked at the boat that Ethan had taken out and made a puzzled expression. There was no reason to take the boat out when they were going back to the lake.
“Let me think about it for a moment.”
Of course, it was not for thinking, but to get information from the new world.
Ethan opened the new world right away and entered the keyword.
[ocean]
It was a simple keyword. Even without using the algorithm enhancement ticket, you could receive recommendations for any number of gods that fit the current situation.
-Search for keywords.
-The algorithm recommends a god that suits your current situation.
Tiring-.
-Trident that rules the sea [Difficulty: High]
The sea, and the trident.
With just these two words, Ethan could tell the identity of the god the algorithm had recommended.
“It’s Poseidon.”
-The number of likes required to subscribe is 32.
Certainly, the Greco-Roman gods had a pretty high like count required for subscription.
‘Poseidon is a pretty major god.’
He was such a famous god that when people think of the god of the sea, they think of Poseidon.
‘I have some free time thanks to the amount of likes I’ve accumulated in the palace.’
Ethan immediately subscribed to Poseidon.
-You have subscribed to Poseidon, the trident that rules the sea!
Poseidon’s subscriber count was significantly higher than Hades’s previously subscribed number.
‘There are a lot of videos.’
He was a typical top tier god. He had a decent number of videos, a high number of subscribers and likes.
‘The video titles are also clear.’
There, I noticed some short videos that seemed to have been uploaded recently.
‘Move quickly to meet changes.’
Ethan smiled happily as he watched the uploaded short videos.
Even the top gods, such as Poseidon, were influenced by Ethan’s shorts and were seen benchmarking them, which clearly showed his influence.
Ethan pressed the most liked video of Poseidon. This video was the most basic video that you can watch if you subscribe to Poseidon.
-[All About the Sea: How to Conquer the Sea]
‘If you were to name the three major gods of Greek and Roman mythology, they would be Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.’
The title, How to Conquer the Sea, really suits it.
Ethan immediately played the video.
Then a muscular, handsome man with curly hair that flowed down his back appeared.
-Subscriber, I am Poseidon, the god who protects the sea, water, and storms.
Poseidon introduced himself and quickly explained his powers.
-There must be a reason why you subscribed to me. Half of the world is land, but half of it is sea. Just because you conquered the land doesn’t mean you can conquer the sea. The sea is a wild horse. You can never conquer it unless you become a tyrant yourself.
With those words, Poseidon held up three fingers.
– Most fundamentally, you need the power to breathe underwater. In addition, you need the power to move underwater like on land. Isn’t that right? If you are a subscriber who can move freely underwater, watch a different video instead of this one. I have also made a separate video for you.
Poseidon seemed to have divided its subscribers into two groups and created separate videos for each group.
One is subscribers who are mainly active on land.
And the other one was subscribers who could already move smoothly underwater.
Since there are many subscribers in the new world who are in different situations, Poseidon has prepared videos to suit them.
‘Good decision.’
Poseidon continued to explain.
-Do you want to conquer the sea? If so, you’ll need to breathe first. A normal human can’t breathe underwater. First, I’ll teach you how to breathe underwater.
-Learned underwater breathing skills.
– Added skill: Underwater breathing (A)
-The next thing you need is to be able to move freely underwater. You can’t dominate the sea just by breathing.
Poseidon had a clear understanding of what his followers wanted and what their intentions were.
‘There’s a reason why it has so many subscribers.’
-Now is the key. If you learn this ability, you will be able to use all your power underwater. You will literally become a little Poseidon.
Poseidon said so and laughed.
Before he knew it, he was holding a trident in his hand. The long, sharp trident was imbued with great power.
– It is an ability that contains all of my power. The source of this power is the sea. It is a power that absorbs the power of the sea and puts it completely inside your body. Then the sea will no longer reject you. You will be able to use your power completely even in the sea.
Wheeeeeeeek-!
Poseidon thrust his trident hard into the ground.
-Feel the sea! And put it under your feet!
-I learned the power of the sea god!
-Added skill: Sea God Power (S)
The power of the sea.
‘A technology that allows you to move as if on land by absorbing the power of the sea.’
As expected, it was Poseidon. His nickname of God of the Sea was not an empty one.
‘You will be completely unaffected by the flow of water, so you literally have the ability to rule the sea. With this, there will be no need for underwater-only artifacts, right?’
Finally, Poseidon swung his trident powerfully.
-My trade weapon, the trident, is also being sold as goods, so you can buy that too! It’s expensive, but it’s worth it!
After watching the video, Ethan checked out the other videos.
First of all, with just this underwater breathing and sea power, you can move freely in the sea. This means that your physical abilities on land are directly converted into swimming skills.
But something wasn’t satisfying.
Here’s one more.
There was a need to add more strength to prepare for emergencies.
‘There isn’t much time.’
Ethan left a comment to Poseidon for now. If Poseidon confirmed it, he planned to learn from him how to use his divine powers through a merger.
‘Based on my experience so far, I think the most certain way is to learn directly from God.’
There was nothing that came closer than learning through merger.
Tiring-!
I received a reply shortly after sending the message.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to say it myself, but there is no god who refuses.”
The gods of the upper ranks are trying to rise to the highest rank.
The mid-tier gods are trying to break through the stagnation.
The gods of the lower ranks are trying to break through the impenetrable wall of the middle ranks.
Because everyone needed [subscribe to the right god] for their own reasons.
Ethan immediately used the annexation ticket Poseidon had sent him.
* * *
Poseidon thought it was really good timing.
Who would have thought that at this timing, the famous [Only Proper Subscription] would contact me to talk?
Shaaaaak-.
Not long after sending the merger ticket, a [Proper God Only Subscribes] subscriber appeared.
“Hmm! Hmm! This is a subscriber who looks as great as I thought.”
Poseidon said.
“First of all, thank you so much for subscribing to me. I read your comments carefully. Do you think you can help me? Then tell me right away. Actually, there is a god that I barely managed to persuade for a long time to bring in. He is not very interested in the new world, so it was very difficult to bring him in. I filmed a combined video with him this time. What do you think? Would you mind watching it? And if you could make shorts for him, that would be great.”
“Yes, I will. It is not difficult. However, I need a certain reward.”
Ethan greeted Poseidon as usual and made a condition.
“Premium subscribers, this won’t be difficult! Of course I’ll give you some goods! Then please take care of me!”
“I guess I’ll have to check the video first. Did you unite with some god?”
Poseidon said with a pleased expression on his face at Ethan’s words.
“I don’t know if you know this, but there is a god called Admiral Yi Sun-sin.”
For a moment, Ethan’s face froze.
