"In the eastern waters, an anomaly has occurred," Waldo raised an eyebrow upon hearing this news. However, since Calvert had personally gone to deal with it, he didn’t pay too much attention.

As he made his way there, he still had a great deal of trust in this guy’s abilities. He believed nothing would go wrong.

Previously, Waldo had killed many top-tier powerhouses, gaining over ten thousand evolution points. This number was quite terrifying, almost equivalent to the blood, sweat, and tears of those top-tier powerhouses.

But Waldo didn’t rush to spend his evolution points on other abilities. He hesitated. Now, he had already upgraded three Level 5 abilities: Body Domination, Fire Control, and Teleportation. He vaguely felt that abilities could only be upgraded to Level 6, and Level 6 was the maximum.

If he wanted to further improve, evolution points wouldn’t cut it. Special conditions were required. Rather than having his abilities evenly upgraded, he thought it would be better to directly raise one ability to the highest level. This way, he could significantly increase his combat power, Waldo thought.

Just then, Waldo’s brow suddenly furrowed, and he looked in the direction of the east. Faintly, he sensed a gathering of violent power in the far east, with waves of fluctuations reaching him. This was something he hadn’t encountered before.

Waldo immediately flew into the sky, looking towards the distance. At the very edge of the heavens and earth, a mass of dark clouds was gathering. Countless streaks of lightning flashed within them. The lightning was dense and interwoven, like a thunderous abyss.

"What’s going on? What’s happening over there?" Waldo murmured to himself.

And just at that moment, a message came from Calvert. "Lord! The anomaly appearing over the ocean is even more terrifying than we imagined! It’s said to be many times larger than before, and our helicopters nearly crashed!"

Vaguely, Waldo felt that something significant was happening in the eastern sea area.

With the additional message from Calvert, Waldo could no longer sit still. He quickly gave some instructions to Alanna and Helen and set off.

After reaching Level 100, even the flying speed greatly increased, reaching a minimum of 400 kilometers per hour. Soon, he flew towards the east.

"Wait for me here; I’ll be there soon. Don’t panic!" Waldo instructed Calvert and the others.

Not long after, Waldo could see from a distance the massive body of the Dawn and the Noah’s Ark, as well as the various large warships. In the sky, there was a massive dark cloud.

The dark cloud was as deep and black as ink, and its thickness was unknown, giving a very oppressive feeling. Moreover, within the dark cloud, countless lightning flashes roamed. Thick lightning bolts resembled wandering dragons, exuding a world-destroying aura.

At this moment, many survivors from Dawn City on the ground had pale faces.

"Oh my God, I feel like every inch of my muscles is trembling, I’m so afraid!"

"The commotion caused by this anomaly is just too huge. It’s many times larger than before. I don’t know if the anomaly will keep expanding. At this rate, Dawn City itself might feel it in no time!"

"It probably won’t expand further. I have a feeling that the appearance of this anomaly seems to be related to something in the ocean towards the east. If you’re farther from the ocean, you won’t experience the anomaly."

The people were discussing animatedly.

Calvert led his troops to this location, intending to investigate. However, what they did not expect was that the anomaly was so terrifying.

The pervasive destructive auras almost made everyone turn pale. Even their helicopters didn’t dare to take off, fearing they would be struck by lightning, which would be disastrous.

So, they had no choice but to seek help from Waldo.

Just as everyone was discussing, someone spotted a figure rapidly flying in the distant sky, fleeting in an instant.

This person immediately got excited and shouted, "Look! It’s the Lord! The Lord is here!"

Soon after, others also noticed Waldo’s figure. In an instant, their excitement grew.

In their eyes, Waldo at this moment was no different from a god. All the survivors in the world combined could not possibly be a match for Waldo.

"Great, the Lord has finally arrived. The origin of the anomaly can’t escape the Lord’s keen eye!"

"The Lord is so fast! It takes us over a day by snowmobile from Dawn City to here! But the Lord arrived here in less than an hour!"

Waldo flew directly to the bottom of the massive dark cloud, countless lightning flashes flickering above him, the might of which was terrifying and frightening.

However, Waldo was not afraid at all because even if the lightning struck him, he had Body Domination, and he wouldn’t be harmed at all.

An anomaly? Why is there an anomaly here?

Waldo wondered.

He looked down at the sea below. The sea had already frozen at this moment, and the ice layer was very thick.

But faintly, he could see that beneath the ice, a terrifying dark vortex seemed to appear.

That dark vortex seemed to resonate with the dark cloud in the sky.

"There’s something below related to the East, and it’s connected to the anomaly in the sky! This place is really not simple!"

Waldo thought for a moment.

"No, I need to go down there and investigate to find out what’s going on!"

"I feel that what’s hidden below is very important. Although it’s somewhat dangerous, if I go down, I will undoubtedly make very significant discoveries," Waldo thought.

Waldo didn’t hesitate for long and immediately made up his mind.

"In any case, I must go down and see for myself."

Then, Waldo’s face turned slightly serious. His long spear appeared, streaking through the sky like a meteor.

"Break!"

Waldo roared, and the power of the blazing spear fully erupted. In the midst of the immense blaze, the thick ice was instantly smashed into a massive hole.

Boom!

At the same time, a thunderous sound resonated.

The huge ice layer within a radius of a mile shattered into countless fragments. Nearby ice chunks rapidly melted under the intense flames.

With the ice shattered, the vortex inside became clearer, and the sense of threat intensified!

"Let’s take a look."

Waldo didn’t think twice and jumped into the seawater.

In an instant, the bone-chilling cold seawater enveloped him. It felt as if countless fine needles were pricking every inch of his skin!

"So cold! This isn’t normal! Ordinary seawater can’t be this cold, it’s affecting me!"

Waldo’s face changed slightly.

However, the seawater here was strange, significantly colder than normal temperature.

But this couldn’t hinder his actions.

Waldo didn’t hesitate and dove deeper into the water.

As the depth increased, the water temperature became lower and lower, even much lower than the temperature on land.

However, it didn’t freeze.

Very strange.

"Fortunately, my body is tough. In this world, no one can reach this place. Even if they do, they would freeze to death in these low temperatures!"

Waldo’s face grew solemn.

He sensed the surging water flow.

There was a tremendous suction, seemingly trying to drag him deeper into the depths of the ocean.

Not only that, but at this moment, Waldo could clearly sense the suffocating sense of impending danger coming from deeper within. Clearly, in the depths, there were massive secrets hiding.

This would be a significant discovery, but it also concealed countless dangers.

To go or not to go?

Waldo hesitated for a moment.

Go!

Soon, Waldo made up his mind.

However, as soon as he made the decision, he felt the mysterious force within the water flow around him suddenly disappear. The visible massive vortex also vanished without a trace.

Waldo was stunned.

What’s going on? The vortex? How could it disappear so quickly? This doesn’t make sense!

In a daze, Waldo had to return to the surface and fly into the sky.

The dark clouds in the sky had disappeared, and the countless lightning and thunder were also gone.

Whew!

The cold wind whistled, and Waldo, now wet, turned into an ice sculpture in an instant.

It was the Ice Age, and the temperature was very, very low.

However, for Waldo, this was not a problem at all.

He generated a lot of heat in his body, and a hint of flames seemed to burn, instantly melting the ice on his body and evaporating the moisture.

How could all these anomalies suddenly disappear?

Waldo looked back at the sky and the sea.

He had been so close to uncovering the truth just now.

As a result, all the anomalies suddenly disappeared.

With the lingering questions in his mind, Waldo, Calvert, and the members of the squad stationed there gathered.

Waldo didn’t waste any time and got straight to the point, expressing his doubts.

The sight of Waldo excited everyone.

In response to Waldo’s questions, the squad leader stationed there, who was most familiar with the situation, stepped forward.

He was cautious and chose his words carefully before reporting, "Report to the City Lord, the anomaly in this area is not always present. It appears for a limited time with a seemingly regular pattern. It will reappear exactly two days later around noon, so there’s no need to worry."

Then, the squad leader shared other information and characteristics about the anomaly, such as when it first appeared and how they discovered it. He provided many details.

When he stopped speaking, he suddenly realized that he had spoken so much to Waldo in such a nervous situation.

In that moment, he felt both fearful and excited.

Unavoidably, Waldo had to wait for another two days for the anomaly to reappear.

During this period, following Waldo’s orders, all unrelated individuals promptly returned to Dawn City. Waldo sensed a significant hidden threat among them. He felt confident in his abilities, but without the protection of the city walls, staying there could pose a great danger.

"Waldo, have you decided to venture into the depths of the sea to find the source of the anomaly?" The two women contacted Waldo, expressing their concerns.
