The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

"No, no, still no?"

These fluctuations were very fast. In a short instant, even the little conch didn't know how far it had spread out. It only knew that it was very, very far, farther than the distance it would travel in its entire life.

But even with such a large area, she still couldn't detect a single "suspicious person".

"Could it be that it's not human? Did 'Star Blue Jellyfish King' make a mistake? But there aren't any other suspicious sea monsters or ferocious beasts around here."

A sense of confusion flashed through the little conch's mind.

"Stop messing with my body!"

On the other side, the "Star Blue Jellyfish Queen" screamed in terror.

"I surrender! I surrender! If you spare my life, I can be your descendant's mount for generations to come! Wouldn't it be great if your family had another powerful figure comparable to a martial arts master or an S-class superhuman? And in the ocean no less! Your family could then roam the ocean freely!"

Using its limited knowledge of humans, the "Star Blue Jellyfish King" begged for mercy and tried to "bribe" it, but the force that was cutting into its body showed no signs of abating.

Although it can "come back to life" by relying on a small piece of body tissue, this mysterious human powerhouse obviously wouldn't leave it with a single piece of "complete body tissue".

He actually intends to exterminate it completely?!

The "Star Blue Jellyfish Queen," who hadn't been so panicked before and was still scheming, was now truly in a panic.

Its original plan was to first show weakness to save its life, and whether it would actually keep its promise to beg for mercy to save its life depended on the situation.

Humanity's home turf is the land, while it is the overlord of the sea. Even if it temporarily shows weakness and submits to the other, the other cannot stay in the sea forever.

If there are no strong measures to restrain it, it will find an opportunity to escape.

If there were a chance for revenge, that would be even better; such a powerful human body would surely be quite "delicious".

If it's really too powerful, then it should just keep showing weakness and yielding; after all, it's not like it hasn't done that before.

It wasn't this strong in the past, but when it expressed its surrender and willingness to be used by the other party, the other party would definitely let it go immediately.

Where can you find a subordinate as "obedient" and "intelligent" as it?

As for humans, it knew that humans liked to find powerful ferocious beasts and exotic species as mounts to show off their martial arts skills. It had heard about the legends of Azure Dragon City and Vermilion Bird City from the humans it had eaten in the past.

Therefore, it believed that it would definitely be able to impress this human this time.

Aren't humans just greedy and vain?

But unexpectedly, reality dealt it a heavy blow; the human simply ignored it completely!

This rendered all its calculations useless.

It even began to doubt whether the other party was human.

But if it's not a human, its survival rate is even lower.

A living creature is more useful to humans than a dead one, but for other sea monsters or ferocious beasts, it depends on whether the other party has the ambition to dominate.

Sea creatures with ambitions to dominate will certainly recruit subordinates and followers from other races to help them conquer.

But if sea creatures didn't have such thoughts, they would eat themselves.

Because sea monsters eating other powerful sea monsters or ferocious beasts is also a form of nourishment.

Despite a flurry of thoughts, "Star Blue Jellyfish Queen" did not give up hope of survival.

It screamed in agony, begging for mercy in turn from various speculative objects, from sea monsters to humans.

However, Gu Ran had no intention of letting it off the hook, only feeling that it was really "thick-blooded" and noisy.

Even though he had almost cut them into "jellyfish bits" with his telekinetic weapon, he still had such good energy to use "noise attack".

The little conch looked at the "Star Blue Jellyfish King" in surprise. If she were in the other person's shoes, she would definitely consider whether to accept its surrender since the "Star Blue Jellyfish King" had humbled itself to this extent.

Most marine mammals are proud and reckless. Their pride makes them unwilling to submit easily, while their recklessness makes them more prone to emotional outbursts.

Therefore, it is difficult to subdue a powerful sea monster with high racial talent.

If such an opportunity were to arise, the little conch would find it hard not to be tempted.

In particular, the merfolk are currently in dire need of manpower.

But to her surprise, the man hiding in the shadows, who was probably human, remained completely unmoved by the surrender of such a powerful sea beast.

Could it be that it has a grudge against the "Star Blue Jellyfish King"?

she thought.

Gu Ran did indeed have a grudge against the "Star Blue Jellyfish King" because it had almost killed the little conch. How could he possibly let this guy off the hook?

His reason for taking action was neither for maritime supremacy nor to find a powerful mount for himself.

It was only because it threatened her life.

After completely grinding the "Star Blue Jellyfish King" into mincemeat, Gu Ran could no longer sense its life force.

In its final moments, the "Star Blue Jellyfish Queen" knew it was truly going to die. Filled with regret for not escaping sooner, it cried out in grief and indignation:

"Who exactly are you?! Do you have some deep-seated hatred for me?!"

This was something it could never understand: where did this terrifyingly strong creature come from, leaving it utterly powerless to resist and ignoring its pleas for mercy?

Why did it die?!

There was no response to it.

On the vast ocean, under the bright sun and with a gentle sea breeze, its enormous body seemed to decompose itself, soon transforming into pure nutrients for the sea.

All that remains are its final, indignant questions and cries, drifting on the wind.

"Yes, why is that?" The little conch's face was also full of doubt.

Her "perception" at this moment had extended to an unknown distance in the ocean, seemingly almost reaching its end.

A fine layer of sweat beaded on her forehead, and her face was slightly pale, but she still did not find any "suspicious humans," nor even any suspicious sea beasts or ferocious monsters.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind.

Humans do not belong to the ocean!

......

Gu Ran stood on the "floor" formed by his mental energy, quietly gazing at the horizon.

Although he wasn't looking in the direction of the little conch, he could still clearly know the situation there through his telekinetic powers.

After killing the "Star Blue Jellyfish Queen", he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to meet her and to leave now.

However, he immediately became nervous.

Because, in his telepathic perception, the little conch suddenly disappeared.

"Could it be..." Gu Ran wanted to immediately lay down a "psychic floor" on the sea with his psychic power and then leave this place as quickly as possible.

Before he could even move, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice sounded behind him.

"You were indeed not in the sea. If your body had been soaked in seawater, I would never have missed you."

"Huh? You're Gu Ran!"

The voice behind him suddenly turned shocked and angry, leaving Gu Ran feeling somewhat helpless.

He knew his expectations had been dashed once again.

"It's me, long time no see." Gu Ran finally turned around and looked at the mermaid opposite him, who now exuded a rather dignified aura.

Gu Ran's gaze was extremely complicated, so complicated that even he himself was not quite sure what he was thinking.

The little conch's situation is much more complicated than normal "amnesia." He had tried to think of any way to help the little conch "regain its memory," but he was still clueless about the matter.

"It was you! Mother was right, you really are the great enemy of the Merfolk, and the great enemy of the Merfolk in uniting the sea race!" The little conch trembled slightly with shock and anger.

"I never expected you to harbor such strong hostility towards our ocean. If I hadn't discovered your location in time, I would surely have been killed by you after the 'Star Blue Jellyfish Queen' was killed, you despicable and shameless human!"

Gu Ran remained silent, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure opposite him. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain himself, but his voice was extremely hoarse:

"Little seashell, I just wanted to..."

Before he could even utter the word "rescue," he was interrupted by the other side.

"Bah! Mother was right after all! How dare you look down on me like this! How dare you look down on my mermaid race! Heh, do you really think that there are no strong people among our sea race, no strong people among our mermaid race?"

"I am Ariel, the Mermaid! I will be the new Queen of the Sea!"

"It's not some worthless little seashell!"

The little seashell—no, Ariel's "Heart of the Ocean" necklace—radiated a strong blue light.

The next moment, a towering blue curtain of water rose up around her.

A giant blue waterfall, seemingly descending from the sky, enveloped Gu Ran and Ariel.

"Now, you can't escape. Fight me to the death, enemy of the sea!"

"I will personally eliminate this obstacle!"

Ariel's expression was as cold as a snowy river.

......

Outside the light screen.

Yudora couldn't hold back her tears as soon as she saw Gu Ran secretly help her.
