Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 375 Provoking the Pacific Sea Creatures? The Siren Vanguard

The solid foundation was poured and extended at an extremely fast speed under the infusion of powerful magic.

Like the veins of a giant imbued with life, they rapidly weave the skeleton of the city on this newly born land.

With the first cornerstone inscribed with protective runes being deeply buried, this new city officially announced its birth.

On the seabed, the countless sea monsters that had been suppressed by Malzahar's supreme power were still like prehistoric insects frozen in amber. Their ferocious postures were eternally frozen, unable to move under the dual constraints of the power of the void and the laws of the ocean.

They could only watch in utter terror as humans began constructing massive buildings on their homeland.

This bizarre and shocking scene was filled with a heart-pounding sense of conquest.

Malzahar's move even caused a flicker of surprise to cross the eyes of Xizhe, who was watching the ceremony with indifference.

He considered himself one of Su Lu's top experts, with his light-elemental power reaching the forbidden spell level. He was knowledgeable, experienced, and possessed extraordinary strength, but the power before him was...

It still made him feel inferior.

Immediately afterwards, a massive construction project was launched.

With the incomparably precious Core of Earth at its core, a large number of water and earth mages, under the command of their respective supervisors, began to work in an orderly manner.

Earth mages guided the gentle yet powerful energy emanating from the heart of the earth, transforming the soft seabed silt into rock foundations harder than steel, causing the city walls to rise from the ground; water mages, on the other hand, manipulated the water flow, precisely pouring special magical concrete, and constructing underwater buffer barriers and undercurrent defense networks.

The core of all this was made possible by the Earth Core, which floated in the temporarily constructed central magic array and emitted a soft, azure light.

It pulses slowly, each beat like the heart of this newborn city beating, delivering endless energy to every corner of the construction site.

Without it, all efforts are in vain.

It not only purified the violent magical environment of this place, creating a "safe zone" where humans could survive, but it is also the eternal source of energy for the entire city.

In the future, it will maintain the huge "protective barrier" covering the entire city, providing energy for the magic cannons on the city walls and the spatial teleportation arrays within the city, and subtly increasing the elemental concentration in the area, benefiting all mages who cultivate here, especially water mages.

The Earth Core brought by Malzahar is more focused on water systems and was found in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean.

Building a city on this turbulent sea adjacent to Shanghai is perfectly suited to its characteristics, as it can efficiently harmonize the power of the ocean, turning the disadvantage of turbulent waves into an impregnable advantage.

On a nearby observation platform, Qin Xiaonan, Mu Nujiao, and her sister Mu Nuxin were gazing at this bustling new city.

Watching the city's outline transform from blueprint to reality at a visible speed, even someone as aloof as Mu Nujiao couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and awe in her eyes.

Mu Nuxin breathed a sigh of relief, his face beaming with joy: "At this rate, the framework of the outer city walls and the main defensive nodes will be almost complete in another week."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaonan nodded, everything was under control.

Mu Nuxin's tone held a hint of amusement: "Brother-in-law, you're really something."

"The person in charge of the Mu family in Shanghai actually took the initiative to contact me the day before yesterday. He was completely different from his usual arrogant self. He not only proposed to buy a large amount of our Siren materials, but also revealed his intention to cooperate deeply."

She paused, then added, "It seems they've let go and compromised."

“However, the Bai and Dongfang families are in a tough spot right now, as they have to bear all the pressure from the Mu family. Both families have secretly approached me, adopting a very humble attitude, but I haven’t replied to them yet.” Mu Nuxin knew perfectly well that the Mu family’s current initiative and glory were entirely due to this unfathomable “brother-in-law” beside her.

Therefore, even when it came to external family decisions, she decided to discuss them with Qin Xiaonan.

Qin Xiaonan's gaze remained fixed on the bustling construction site in the distance, her voice calm: "Ignore them."

"Our primary goal now is this new city."

"Reclaiming land from the sea to build cities, pushing back the coastline, is a challenge to the authority of the ocean. The sea monsters will never let this go; they will surely make a big move. At that time, we will see which families are worth supporting as allies and which are fickle and opportunistic."

"It's not too late to make a decision after the storm has passed."

Just as he had predicted, in the deep sea not far from this newly discovered land, humanity's "usurpation" had already stirred up a tremendous rage.

The terrifying being of the Pacific Ocean, the Mirage Sea Dragon King Ant Mother, and the ferocious ruler of the vast Shark Man Kingdom, the Shark Man King, have cast their angry gazes upon this gradually forming frontier of humanity.

"Insignificant and despicable humans! How dare you steal the territory of the sacred ocean and defile our land with your filthy creations!" A murderous roar echoed from the depths of the sea.

Previously in the Atlantic Ocean, they were easily blocked by the galactic power of that mysterious being (Soraka), which was already extremely frustrating. Now, even the humans, whom they have always regarded as prey, dare to provoke them and trespass on their property.
This undoubtedly adds fuel to the fire.

The two ocean empires quickly reached a consensus:

Not only will they use endless ocean tides to completely erase this audacious new city from the map, but they will also unleash a powerful and terrifying tsunami to continue its revenge inland, reminding humanity once again of the fear of being dominated by the deep sea!

However, as rulers of the oceans for a long time, they are by no means mindless fools, despite their deep-seated contempt and arrogance towards terrestrial species.

Over the long years and countless battles with land-dwelling humans, they have come to know that among this seemingly weak race, there are indeed some terrifying beings who can threaten or even severely damage them—those forbidden spellcasters who have mastered ultimate magic.

In particular, the human nation that is closely adjacent to their territory has repeatedly demonstrated strength and resilience that has exceeded expectations.

That colossal city, known as "Demon City," is like an impregnable fortress, where the power of the mages gathered is unfathomable, and its sharpness should not be underestimated.

Therefore, despite their burning anger, both emperors suppressed the urge to immediately unleash a world-ending tsunami.

The safest strategy is to test the waters first.

They decided to each send out a portion of their vanguard to form a hybrid force that combined strength and reconnaissance capabilities.

The advance force's objective was not to raze the new city to the ground in one fell swoop, but rather to probe its defenses:

To test the strength of this new city's defenses, and to gauge the true level of human power deployed here.

More importantly, it's a test to see if those hidden forbidden spellcasters will intervene, and... how powerful their intervention will be.

Thus, driven by the will of the two emperors, two vanguard legions composed of large numbers of different sea monsters quietly emerged from different deep-sea lairs.

It spreads and advances towards Shanghai.
