Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 412 Shifting Maritime Patterns: The Atlantic Rise
The Ice Queen shifted her gaze from the fading golden light.

Finally, it landed on Ernos, whose aura was weak and whose cracks on his icy body had not yet fully healed.

She has just awakened from an ancient slumber and knows almost nothing about the turbulent and rapidly changing situation of demons on Earth. She is still stuck in the ancient memory that Antarctica was a secluded and inaccessible place.

“Tell me, Ernos.”

"What exactly happened in this world during the years I slept?"

"Why would such an arrogant and powerful force emerge, daring to march on my Antarctic glaciers?"

Ernos wore a complex and enigmatic expression.

Using his soul as a medium, he conveyed to the Ice Queen a series of shocking messages that were enough to overturn the old world order.

"The Sahara Desert has changed hands..."

“Void creatures from beyond the world have taken over the entire European continent…”

"The Bermuda Triangle, a sea of ​​demons, has been forcibly pierced and destroyed..." The deadly sea that once devoured countless lives is now nothing but chaotic energy turbulence and shattered spatial fragments.

"The once mighty Indian Ocean Siren Empire has fallen apart; its ruler is dead, and its main army has been scattered..."

The origin and core of this series of earth-shattering changes all point to the same name—the Shurima Empire!

The one who rose to power in a short period of time and swept across the world with unparalleled might was none other than Emperor Azir, who had just made the entire Antarctic glacier tremble!

The Ice Queen quickly processed the information.

A brief silence fell between the two Antarctic supreme beings.

Then the Ice Queen slowly raised her head and looked at the horizon where the Shurima army had disappeared.

"This matter must not be left unresolved!" Her voice was no longer ethereal, but carried a resounding and chilling force.

"My Antarctica has been a supreme forbidden land since ancient times, isolated from the world. How can a bunch of insects from the desert trample on it and then leave?"

"They must pay a price for their arrogance today, a price that will be remembered forever!"

Ernos said, "Excuse my bluntness... but the enemy is far stronger than we anticipated."

"With the power we've awakened so far, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

Having experienced a crushing defeat, he understood the gap in top-tier combat power between the two sides even better than the newly awakened Ice Queen.

The Ice Queen abruptly turned her gaze away from the distance.

Then, it was cast towards the most mysterious, deepest, and coldest direction of the Antarctic continent—

The center of the Antarctic Circle!
-
Just as the ancient beings of Antarctica began plotting revenge, they turned their attention to the abyss of the ice core.

The global chain reaction triggered by the Antarctic conflict is continuing to unfold on the maritime battlefield.

The rapid melting of glaciers has led to a significant rise in sea levels.

On a macro level, it did provide the siren, who are accustomed to deep-sea environments, with more space to move around and more convenient waterways, allowing them to move more freely in some near-shore areas.

However, this seemingly favorable natural change for the sirens carried a hidden signal that weighed heavily on the hearts of all those in the know. It foreshadowed a brilliant and overwhelming victory for the Shurima Empire in Antarctica!

Only a permanent alteration to the structure of continental glaciers could trigger such a global oceanic effect.

The main battlefield in Antarctica has temporarily come to an end, but the struggle between the Siren Empires, which has affected both oceans, has not stopped, but has instead entered a new phase.

In the Oceania region, apart from the main continent of Australia, which is able to sustain most of the area due to its massive size and towering terrain, countless beautiful islands around it have long been submerged in this global marine catastrophe triggered by the clash of emperors.

What was once a vacation paradise and ecological haven is now just a stretch of murky seawater.

The occasional tree canopies and building ruins peeking out from the water tell a story of past vitality and present desolation.

The battle among the ocean's rulers continues.

The Ocean Rose, the ruler of the Atlantic, is surrounded by the power of the Milky Way and the element of pure water.

The terrifying power of the Cold Moon-Eyed Demon God, who rules the Pacific Ocean and controls the tides and abysses, collides repeatedly in the vast Indian Ocean. Starlight and azure tides intertwine, creating an energy storm that sweeps across thousands of miles.

Meanwhile, Kindred, wielding the Styx River, uses his unique Death God Laws to simultaneously fight against another sea monster ruler hidden in the depths of the Pacific Ocean (the Central Pacific Emperor who is temporarily cooperating with Cold Eyes) and the undead Queen of the Bone and Veil.

The erosion of the Styx River and the purification of the Star Sea complement each other, forming an insurmountable line of defense against death, leaving the two powerful enemies helpless.

With the combined efforts of Qianjue and Yunling Sea Rose.

The combined barrier formed by the starry sea and the River Styx, stretching across the sky and sea, is slowly but steadily approaching the mainland waters of the Pacific Ocean!

This barrier of fusion became an insurmountable chasm for the Pacific Demon Empire.

It was at this time that news of the Shurima Empire's victorious withdrawal from Antarctica spread like wildfire across the global battlefield.

This news was nothing short of a heavy blow to the Pacific Demon Empire, which was already locked in a bitter battle with the Atlantic Allied Forces!

Their Antarctic forces, one of their biggest allies, have suffered a setback, while the terrifying desert empire has freed up its resources.

If Emperor Azir were to turn his Golden Legion to support the Atlantic, or even just point his forces toward the Pacific, the consequences would be unimaginable!

After careful consideration of the situation, the Pacific Demon Empire made an extremely pragmatic decision.

Proactive strategic retreat, abandoning some peripheral and difficult-to-defend sea areas!
As a result, the global maritime power map underwent a tremendous transformation unseen in a millennium:
Originally serving as a buffer zone between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, most of the Indian Ocean area has now been completely annexed and integrated by the forces of the Spirit Sea Rose, the dominant power of the Atlantic Ocean, after the defeat of the native Siren Empire.

Meanwhile, in the Pacific, efforts are underway to strengthen core defenses and prepare for potential future threats from Shurima.

They also had to give up large areas of the peripheral seas they originally controlled, and their sphere of influence shrank significantly.

After this series of thrilling wars and strategic adjustments, the distribution of ocean area across the planet has now undergone a fundamental reversal.

The once dominant Pacific Ocean suffered a setback.

With the annexation of the Indian Ocean and the receipt of the sea areas ceded by the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean has become the largest ocean in terms of total area controlled, making it the veritable "first ocean"!
The cold-eyed demon goddess was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

However, the melting of Antarctic glaciers has caused sea levels to rise, resulting in a much larger area of ​​land being encroached upon by the ocean.
