Chapter 419 The High-Profile Mermaid, Coastline Cruise!

When the Mermaid Queen received the command from the Spirit Sea Rose, which contained the "Star Lord" Soraka's message.

Her stunningly beautiful face showed no surprise or hesitation, but rather an almost devout solemnity and determination.

She tilted her head slightly, gazing at the dazzling sea of ​​stars higher in the sky—an extension and symbol of Soraka's power.

The Mermaid Queen responded!
Then, facing the boundless starry sky, he bowed deeply.

This bow was an expression of gratitude for the new life and strength bestowed upon her, and also an obedience to the orders given for this mission.

After the ceremony, her eyes regained their composure and resolve.

"Let's go!"

With the order given, her elite sirens legion, which was already fully prepared, sprang into action!

She chose the most intimidating and powerful route—heading north along the continent's coastline!
The starting point is the Bay of Bengal, which connects the Indian Ocean with Southeast Asia.

The mermaid queen's stunning figure stood atop a wave crest supported by starlight and seawater!

Leading a vast army of sirens, their banners (composed of glowing jellyfish and energy vortexes) waving in the wind.

When this "cruise" along the coastline begins.

The resulting momentum was truly immense!

She did not deliberately conceal her whereabouts; on the contrary, it seemed as if she wanted to proclaim the majesty of the Atlantic Empire and the glory of the "Star Lord" to all living beings along the coast.

As the massive sirens marched on, the ocean currents they stirred up made the nearshore areas turbulent.

Sea levels are rising at a visible rate, submerging vast areas of mudflats and low cliffs.

Above the legion, dense water elements intertwined with scattered radiance, forming a moving, vast, and otherworldly celestial canopy.

Sometimes it is as dazzling as the aurora borealis, and sometimes it exudes a terrifying demonic aura.

Those remaining human states and settlements built near the coastline had never seen such a spectacle.
In Siam, fishermen watched in horror as the once clear sea suddenly changed color, and a huge shadow swept across the water.

The enormous, star-studded backs of sea monsters occasionally surfaced, triggering the mournful wailing of the magical alarm at the shore observation station.

In Myanmar, a mage at a coastal magic watchtower, through a telescope, clearly saw a stunningly beautiful figure standing on the crest of a wave and the boundless army of sea monsters behind her. Terrified, he almost dropped the telescope and scrambled to report to his superiors.

In the Malay Peninsula, some surviving cities have activated long-dormant defensive formations, and people live in constant fear, thinking that another apocalyptic tsunami is about to strike.

This terrifying sea monster force, moving at high speed along the coastline, moves like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

The ripples quickly spread throughout East Asia and Southeast Asia!

The news, naturally, reached the highest decision-making level in China at the fastest speed.

A report marked "urgent" was delivered to the person in charge of East Coast defense.

The report is concise yet alarming:
"According to multiple intelligence sources, an unknown number of sea monsters, but with extremely dangerous energy, are rapidly moving north along the mainland coastline."

"Its vanguard has approached the traditional territorial sea boundary in southern my country! Strong imperial-level bio-energy characteristics and... abnormal stellar energy fluctuations have been observed."

The atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became as heavy as iron.

An elderly man with a general's star on his shoulder pointed to the red dot on the magic sand table that was moving northward and said in a deep voice, "Their target is still unclear, but following this route, our country's long coastline will be exposed to the attack range of this group of sea monsters!"

"With global sea levels rising abnormally, many of our coastal cities are already under immense pressure to control floods, and our magical dikes have been operating beyond their capacity for a long time." "If this sea monster force were to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an invasion, they wouldn't even need to attack directly; just triggering an even larger tsunami would have unimaginable consequences!"

"We must respond immediately!"

"Should we attempt to intercept them, or strengthen coastal defenses and hold our ground while awaiting reinforcements?"

"There are reports that this demonic force is responsible for the flooding of much of the Indian suburbs, and they are probably up to no good!"

"Apart from the main base cities, abandon all other areas!"

While human nations were racking their brains and urgently discussing countermeasures, they were not the only ones to receive relevant intelligence.

In the vast depths of the Pacific Ocean, several powerful demon emperors also sensed or learned of this situation almost simultaneously through their own information networks.

In a region where scorching abysses meet icy undercurrents, a sea monster emperor, resembling a hybrid of a giant octopus and a skeleton, emitted a muffled mental fluctuation: "The tentacles of the Atlantic have stretched far too far." This was the emperor of the central Pacific Ocean, not one of Leng Dayan's subordinates.

But at this moment, he was also enraged by the Mermaid Queen's behavior!

"A major war has just ended, and they dare to send an emperor to patrol our Pacific Ocean in such a high-profile manner? Is this a show of force against us?"

"They are indeed arrogant. It seems that the Spirit Sea Rose and that so-called 'Star Lord' have given them a lot of confidence."

After a brief silence, another thought joined the conversation: "Anger is useless."

"Do not forget that the war in Antarctica is over."

“That Azir… his power caused heavy losses even in Antarctica.”

"It would be unwise to escalate the conflict with Shurima's ally, the Siren Empire, over this matter now."

"Are we just going to let them run rampant on our territory?" the octopus-skull emperor growled in dissatisfaction.

"It's not about letting things slide."

"Do not act rashly for now. Let's see what she intends to do."

"Her target is likely the land area, and the forces on land are not easy to deal with either. Let's see what she's up to!"

Ultimately, the collective will of the Pacific Demon Emperors reached a consensus—to remain vigilant and refrain from interference for the time being.

The Mermaid Queen's "high-profile cruise," under a delicate balance and mutual wariness, has managed to continue her journey within the territory of the Pacific Ocean.

The focus of all this, however, is the mermaid queen herself, who seems completely unconcerned about the panic and undercurrents that have been stirred up along the way.

She continued to ride the waves, heading north.

As she passed through Ho Chi Minh City, the surging waves rose even higher than the magical lighthouse of this coastal city, and the seawater, imbued with the power of the stars, rushed toward the shore as if the sky were collapsing.

The human mages in the city hastily assembled and symbolically launched a few dazzling defensive spells at the waves.

However, once those lights collided with the tide, they disappeared into the Milky Way like fireflies.

Realizing it was futile, the survivors quickly abandoned the doomed city and scattered.

The Mermaid Queen didn't even glance at it, but instead rode the increasingly surging tide northward toward Hainan Island.
