Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 417 The Tsunami Surges, and the Mermaid Queen Transforms!
Just as Michael and Raphael joined forces to withstand the furious attack of the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor.

A third, dazzling golden ray of light tore through the dark clouds and rose from the city wall!

Archangel Shaka!
She made a move too.

Faced with such a formidable enemy, any reservations could have devastating consequences.

The twelve wings of light behind her fully unfolded.

Shaja's grand chanting resounded across the battlefield. He held out his hands, and a holy book composed of pure light elements appeared and unfolded before him.

Countless ancient and sacred runes flew out from the holy text, not to attack, but to quickly merge into the "Radiant Barrier" that Michael and Raphael had jointly built and that was already on the verge of collapse.

"Divine Blessing - Eternal Barrier!"

With the infusion of Shaka's immense divine power, the already cracked Radiant Barrier instantly shone with dazzling light.

The cracks repaired and healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its thickness and strength increased dramatically, becoming indestructible!

The terrifying power of the giant claw of the Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor was completely neutralized by the divine barrier constructed from the trinity.

For the first time since the fall of the Holy City, the three archangels have joined forces without reservation!
Their goal was crystal clear—the very source that was still trying to stir up the endless tides, the Sea Spirit Pillar!
Michael's eyes were sharp as an eagle's. He seized the momentary opening created by the barrier's rebound, his figure rising again, the holy light greatsword in his hand pointing straight to the sky, drawing upon the holy light of the heavens: "Holy Word - Sever Source!"

Raphael circled around him in perfect harmony, scattering countless golden chains of order from his hands.

A giant net was woven, wrapping around the Sea Spirit Pillar from all directions, and a fierce shout rang out: "Golden Source - Imprisonment!"

Shaka, standing at the rear, fully unfurled the Holy Scripture of Light, its vast holy power surging towards his two companions like a mighty river, providing them with support.

At the same time, he chanted in a low voice: "Divine grace!"

The triple impact, like a golden spear of divine punishment, struck the Sea Spirit Pillar with unparalleled precision!

"Click——!!!"

A crisp shattering sound was heard!
The Sea Spirit Pillar, which carried the power of the Sea-Suppressing Beast Emperor, could not withstand the immense force of this attack, which combined the power of three archangels.

Starting from the core, countless golden cracks burst forth!

Immediately afterwards, the entire giant pillar disintegrated, exploding into countless blue light spots and uncontrolled water elemental turbulence!
With the destruction of the Sea Spirit Pillar, the momentum of the surging waves suddenly halted, their power greatly diminished, and they began to slowly retreat!
"Roar--!!!"

The Sea-Suppressing Spirit Beast Emperor roared. The destruction of the Sea Spirit Pillar caused it to suffer a significant backlash, and its massive body shook violently in the seawater.

After the Holy Impact shattered the Sea Spirit Pillar, the remaining power transformed into a golden streak of light that stretched across the sea and sky, slamming into its chest and forcefully pushing its mountain-like body back several nautical miles, carving a deep trench in the sea!

The tide then receded.

In front of the city wall, a muddy area, no longer covered by seawater, was temporarily revealed.

The scales of victory seemed to be tipping in favor of the defenders.

A cheer erupted from the city wall.

However, before the cheers had even subsided, another unexpected event occurred!
Just after the receding tide, the sea, which had been calmer, suddenly began to churn violently as if boiling!

A giant waterspout, over 100 meters in diameter, connecting the sea and sky, and spinning at high speed, suddenly rose from the ground without warning!

The tornado was not formed naturally; it contained pure demonic power and a... strange stellar fluctuation! At the center of the water tornado, the water gently parted to both sides, and a stunningly beautiful figure, as if stepping out of a deep-sea dream, quietly appeared.

She possessed the most perfect face of a human woman, with delicate features and long, sea-blue hair that flowed like a waterfall behind her.

The woman's entire body was formed from countless shimmering starlight and water droplets, naturally coalescing into a hazy and gorgeous starlight gauze dress that outlined her enchanting curves.

A pair of jade-like feet, shrouded in misty water vapor, gently touched the top of the waterspout.

She is none other than the mermaid queen who fought fiercely with the manatee demon, and also Lan Xi's mother!
After the coming-of-age ceremony, deep-sea mermaids are often gradually assimilated by the wildness of the ocean, evolving into huge, ferocious sea monsters and losing their original beauty.

However, she was different.

She had made great contributions in the previous conquests and expansions of the Atlantic Empire.

Sensing her achievements and potential, "Star Lord" Soraka drew upon a pure source of starlight to give her a complete transformation!
This baptism of starlight did not strip her of her oceanic power; on the contrary, it acted as the perfect catalyst, purifying the impurities and wildness in her bloodline, freezing her appearance at an eternally beautiful peak, and successfully removing the shackles of her fish form.

More importantly, her control over the power of ocean tides has been elevated to a new level due to this transformation, becoming more refined, grand, and effortless, even able to invoke starlight to enhance water magic!

At that moment, her beautiful eyes coldly swept over the three angels radiating holy light on the city wall.

With a slight lift of her jade-like arm, her slender fingers moved as if plucking invisible strings.

"Star Tide Surges!"

With her voice, the receding seawater was given a new will, emitting a joyful roar.

Roaring and surging once more, this time, the waves were mixed with countless tiny starlight points, making them far more powerful and faster than before. Like countless giant galactic pythons emitting blue light, they pounced on the new city!

"Damn it!" Michael's expression changed.

The three archangels had to once again muster their divine power to stop the strange tide that contained the power of the stars.

"Knights, form ranks with me!" The Queen Mother of the Parthenon immediately gave the order.

The remaining members of the Knights' Hall formed a solid battle array of light.

Then, an elder from the hermit family, a forbidden spell mage, also took action.

Powerful earth magic was poured into the area beneath the city walls—

"Boom!"

A massive, incredibly thick earthen wall, hundreds of meters high, suddenly rose from the ground in front of the city wall, attempting to block the starlight tide!

However, a disdainful sneer flashed across the mermaid queen's stunningly beautiful face.

She formed a complex hand seal in front of her chest, and the starlight emanating from her body suddenly became incredibly dazzling, as if she herself had transformed into a miniature star!

"Guided by the stars, all tides obey! Break!"

She gave a soft shout, and the surging tide, illuminated by the starlight, seemed to be imbued with a spirit, crashing against the earthen wall and producing a piercing sound like metal rubbing against metal!
The thick earthen wall crumbled instantly, boulders collapsed, and mud and sand rushed down!

"boom!"

It held for less than ten seconds before the seemingly solid earthen wall was swept away by the starlight tide!
The turbid seawater, mixed with starlight, surged to the foot of the city walls once again, like a beast breaking free from its cage, violently crashing against the foundation of the new city!
