After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 432 Collective Planning
The existence of the merfolk actually predates that of the orcs as commonly believed.

No one knows how many years the mermaid race has existed. They have lived in the deep sea for a long time and do not know when their ancestors appeared.

But one thing is certain: the merfolk are truly unique.

"The merfolk are born in a form that is half human and half beast."

Other orcs are generally born in human form, only transforming into their beast form during battle.

Furthermore, SSS-level orcs undergo an evolutionary period, which is also the most dangerous period.

"The power of the merfolk is actually very strong. The weakest are at least A-level beastmen, and among the SS-level merfolk, there are some that are almost as close as SSS-level beastmen."

I don’t know if this can be considered a privilege, but at least they don’t have to face the threat of the evolutionary period.

"If I were a dark wizard, I would think that the merman, with its half-beast, half-human form and intelligence, would be a very good subject for research."

Liang Jia rarely spoke.

He had been by the black wizard's side for so many years, so he knew him quite well.

The fact that the black wizard researched intelligent Class A ferocious beasts reveals his ambitions.

"...So that's it."

The clan chief listened to their guesses, his brows furrowed, and finally understood the truth.

It's all speculation right now, and no one is sure whether the prophecy of the merfolk's extinction is actually due to the rebels and the black wizard.

"No matter what, we must deal with the rebels and the dark wizards, not just for the sake of the merfolk."

Cedril rarely had a serious expression. As a federal marshal, his greatest enemy in life was the rebels.

Don't be fooled by his current clinginess to Liang He; it's only because the rebels have temporarily ceased their attacks after Liang He's reprimand that he has some free time.

If anything goes wrong, Cedril will have to assume the responsibilities of a marshal.

"That's right. As long as we deal with the rebels and the black wizards, the so-called annihilation of our race should be easily resolved."

Goring considered that he and the merfolk were, in a sense, bound together by life and death, and of course did not want their prophecy of extinction to come true.

Seeing that they all said they would not stand idly by before he could even speak, the clan leader was both moved and ashamed.

He had even considered that if Liang He and the others were willing to save the mermaid race, even if it meant...

"On behalf of the merfolk, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone. We will never refuse to help you if you ever need us in the future!"

The clan chief still gave his promise.

Even if Liang He and the others didn't need it, he should still express his opinion.

After all, it's only natural for them not to help.

"You're too polite, Patriarch."

Liang He smiled slightly and readily accepted the clan leader's promise.

She knew very well that only by accepting their offer could she put the clan leader at ease and make him feel that they were serious.

"So, Chieftain, the reason you invited Xiaohe was actually because of the last words of the previous priest?"

Evelyn hadn't forgotten what the chieftain had just said—the four words the last priest had left behind.

Blue Star, Goddess.

Could it be that Liang He is the goddess the previous priest spoke of?

"Yes, based on various events and our observations, I believe that the goddess mentioned by the previous priest should be Lady Liang He."

The clan chief readily admitted to this.

First of all, the name "Blue Star" represents the origin of the goddess.

And the only person associated with Blue Star is a woman, without a doubt, Liang He.

In addition, Liang He has fought against the rebels many times, and except for the last time when he deliberately got captured, he has always made the rebels suffer defeats, which is something that no one else has ever done.

"...This might just be an accident."

Liang He didn't want to associate herself with the so-called goddess. She just wanted to be an ordinary person, working as a zookeeper in the Tianyao Star Nature Reserve, and spending time with the furry creatures.

As for suppressing the rebels... she would at most consider it an external assignment or a business trip.

I'm not saying this to put pressure on you.

In the clan leader's heart, it still comes down to the same thing: Liang He's willingness to help is a matter of kindness.

Even if she didn't care and remained indifferent, that was perfectly reasonable, and they had no grounds to criticize her.

"Even if this prophecy comes true, we will not hold a grudge against anyone."

If the extinction of the mermaid race is inevitable and cannot be changed, then they can only accept it calmly.

After all, by then, the clan chief and the clansmen would have already tried their best.

"You guys are at least reasonable."

Elius, who was already quite displeased with the patriarch for having his two sons use their good looks to seduce him, snorted softly but said nothing more.

If the clan leader and the others dared to use moral blackmail, Elius would transform into a black dragon without hesitation and simply bring about the annihilation of the clan in advance, wiping them all out of Liang He's sight.

"However, now that we know the crux of the problem, we shouldn't just sit and wait to die."

As the intellectual figure, Langton considered things more deeply.

Since some things are known in advance, we must deal with them in advance, otherwise the prophecy left behind by the two priests with all their might will be in vain.

"That's right, the necessary measures still need to be taken."

Cedril nodded in agreement, and was even considering the possibility of sending Federation troops to garrison Skalan, especially in the seas where the mermaids lived.

"But if we allow the Federation army to be stationed there, it would be easier to expose the location of the merfolk."

After careful consideration, Cedril felt that this method was not appropriate.

"Why don't we just turn them all into human form and spread them out for protection?"

Once they transform into human form, the rebels should have little chance of detecting them as long as the merfolk don't actively reveal themselves.

Even if traces of merfolk orcs are discovered, they wouldn't be wiped out in one fell swoop.

"The Marshal is right. I think we can consider it."

Lyra is a member of the Federation Army, and protecting interstellar citizens is her duty, including the mermaids of the deep sea.

"On the contrary, I think that the deep sea is actually more advantageous for the merfolk to fight."

Elius offered a different opinion.

It won't be easy for the rebels to dive into the deep sea, and the merfolk are also beastmen with extraordinary power. In a battle between the two sides, the rebels may not necessarily lose.

"Liang He, what do you think?"

Li Xiao turned his head and looked at Liang He, who hadn't spoken. She seemed to have other ideas.

"I've been wondering, if the annihilation of the merfolk race stemmed from the rebels, what made them so ruthless?"

If a dark wizard wanted to use the merfolk for research, how could he bear to kill them all?

This seems rather illogical.

"It really is……"

As Leila followed Liang He's train of thought, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Could they be mistaken?

"Is it possible that they were unable to control the merfolk and, in a fit of anger, resorted to ruthless measures?"

After Liang He's reminder, Landon frowned and began to consider another possibility.

The clan chief, who had initially felt hopeful, felt his heart leap into his throat again after hearing what they said.

Sera and Hughes, standing to the side, also looked somewhat pale.

"So what can we do to avoid this situation? Are we just going to surrender?"
