My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

The colorful coral reefs swept past the side of the ship.

Schools of glowing fish spread out like a galaxy, while giant sea anemones sway gently with the ocean currents.

Occasionally, a few enormous deep-sea monsters would swim slowly by in the distance.

Each of them was above level 50. They glanced at the coated boat, then turned away indifferently and sank into the darkness.

Lin Mo stood at the bow of the boat.

Mianmian nestled in his arms, her eight compound eyes curiously watching the bioluminescent jellyfish swimming outside the window, her little claws gently patting the bioluminescent membrane, emitting soft hissing sounds.

Yin Xue lay on his shoulder, her red hair shimmering with a ghostly light from the seawater. Her usual playful face was gone, replaced by a rare seriousness.

"The merfolk are not inherently bad."

She gazed at the deep, dark seabed in the distance, her voice soft.

"They are wary of land-dwelling races because they have been poached, cheated, and robbed for thousands of years. But as long as you don't cause trouble, they are still very friendly. They are trustworthy in business and the pearls, corals, and deep-sea medicines they give are all genuine."

Lin Mo listened quietly without interrupting.

"The former Queen of the Merfolk, the Sirens, was originally the most gentle one in the tribe, in charge of singing and healing. Later, she went mad and was hidden away. No one has ever seen her since."

Lin Mo asked, "What happened to the Eye of the Ocean you stole? What's it for?"

Yin Xue curled his lip: "That thing is useless. It can only let you see the scenery of the ocean from anywhere. After I got tired of it, I crushed it and refined the laws inside."

Lin Mo nodded: "What about the Mermaid King?"

This is Lin Mo's goal.

Yin Xue paused, his tone turning colder: "His name is Tashuk, the only demigod among the merfolk."

Yin Xue recalled for a moment: "His strength is stable at the early stage of demigod, which is no weaker than the three divine messengers you killed before. Siren is his only daughter. After he broke through to demigod, he was no longer qualified to manage the mermaid race, so he passed the position to Siren."

This is the rule on the continent: demigods are not allowed to interfere, not even kings.

Yin Xue continued, "After the Sirens went mad, Tashuk took over the Mermaid Kingdom again. Although it violated the rules of the continent, everyone turned a blind eye, after all, it was the only way out."

Lin Mo understood.

The mastermind behind the assassination, the demigod target, the conditions for sainthood... all fell into the same trap.

That really saved me a lot of trouble.

Just then, Mianmian suddenly became excited.

"Light...light..."

She pointed at the bow of the boat with her arms outstretched.

Ahead, deep in the ocean, a soft yet dazzling light pierced through the darkness of the seabed.

Everyone looked up at the same time.

A vast, boundless underwater city-state sits silently in the abyss.

The city walls were built with fluorescent crystals.

A tall tower built of pure white coral.

A shimmering river of light flowed through the streets, where countless mermaids swam gracefully.

Occasionally, figures of land-dwelling races could be seen walking through the bubble tunnels.

The entire kingdom was completely enveloped by a giant bubble of light with a diameter of over ten miles.

The bubble walls rippled gently, serving both to isolate seawater and to allow terrestrial life to breathe, walk, and speak normally.

This is the Mermaid Kingdom... the only beacon of civilization in the entire deep sea.

"All foreign vessels must first stop outside the bubble, queue up for layers of review, surrender their weapons, and register their identities. If any step is not correct, they will be expelled immediately."

Yin Xue reminded him.

"I used to have to act well-behaved when I came here, otherwise I couldn't get in at all."

Zhou Yue's voice slowly emanated from the black sword, carrying a hint of composure.

"Lin Mo, the Mermaid Kingdom is heavily guarded, and the demigod is stationed in the main hall. Forcing our way in is extremely risky. What's your plan? Are you going to infiltrate in disguise, or create chaos on the outskirts first?"

The ten Golden Dragon Warriors beside him also turned their heads at the same time, their eyes all falling on Lin Mo.

They have now truly submitted and are only waiting for their lord's command.

Even if their opponent is a demigod, they dare to charge head-on.

Lin Mo didn't look at the guards, the bubble gate, or even the layers of checkpoints.

He simply raised his hand, his fingertips pointing straight to the pure white, gilded palace at the very center, the tallest, and the most magnificent in the Mermaid Kingdom.

A huge deep-sea pearl is embedded at the top of the palace, shining the brightest and exuding the strongest aura.

That was the residence of the Mermaid King.

That is also the only objective this time.

Lin Mo withdrew his hand and gripped the black sword at his waist:

"plan?"

He looked at the crowd, his dark eyes showing no hesitation, only a straightforward and brutal determination.

"Isn't that the target?"

Lin Mo raised his hand and gently patted the side of the boat.

"Why not just run right into it?"

A single sentence was uttered.

Zhou Yue remained silent.

Yin Xue was stunned for a moment, then sneered.

The ten Golden Dragon Warriors shuddered, their eyes instantly igniting with a fervent fighting spirit.

In the distance, the mermaid guards were still holding up their tridents, signaling the ships to dock for inspection.

next second.

Lin Mo slightly raised his fingertips, the black sword trembled, and a violent surge of soul power was directly injected into the coating of the Sea Dragon.

The originally docile blue light film suddenly surged!

"Hold on tight."

Lin Mo said calmly.

The next moment, the Haijiao, like a cannonball that had been ignited, broke through the resistance of the seawater.

With the force to tear through the deep sea, it passed through the bubbles.

Ignoring all guards, all rules, and all gates, it charged straight towards the demigod palace in the center of the Mermaid Kingdom!

boom--!!

A deafening roar exploded on the seabed.

The entire giant light bubble trembled violently, its light flickering on and off.

The palace built of pure white coral collapsed with a crash.

Fluorescent crystals flew everywhere.

Broken pillars, rubble, and gilded decorations, along with the surging seawater, formed a raging torrent that swallowed up the surrounding palaces and corridors.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Quickly inform the King!"

"What kind of notification are you talking about! Run!"

……

The city descended into chaos.

Countless mermaid soldiers, wielding glowing tridents, surged in from all directions.

Their scales gleamed with a cold blue light.

He chanted an aggressive war song, and the sound waves transformed into tangible blades.

It swept towards the collapsed palace ruins, determined to tear the intruders to pieces.

In the ruins of the palace.

Lin Mo shook off the pebbles and seawater from his body; his black robe remained crisp and neat, showing no sign of dishevelment.

The black sword hung diagonally at his side, its blade shimmering with an eerie light, and his entire being exuded a chilling killing intent.

He slowly walked out of the ruins, his steps steady, each step calming the churning sea.

Behind him, ten Golden Dragon Warriors followed closely.

His golden armor remained untouched by dust, and his posture was as upright as a pine tree.

They stood in neat formation, and the powerful pressure of level 89 spread out with a roar.

They blocked all the mermaid soldiers' sonic attacks and were just waiting for Lin Mo's order to begin the slaughter.

The war is about to start.

Just then.

A faint, soft, and fearful female voice drifted intermittently from the cracks in the ruins at Lin Mo's feet:

"Help...help me..."

He glanced down casually and saw a slender figure huddled in a crevice of the rubble.

It has a human body and a fish tail, with a pale blue tail that gleams with a soft, pearly sheen.

Her long, seaweed-like hair was disheveled, and her upper body was covered only by two pieces of shimmering white seashells.

Lin Mo frowned slightly, initially intending to ignore it.

After all, the impact of the collision was extremely widespread, and there must be more than just this one mermaid under these ruins.

He came to kill, not to save lives.

Lin Mo withdrew his gaze and turned to give the order to start the battle.

But the next second, Yin Xue suddenly transformed into a tall, mature woman.

His blood-red eyes narrowed sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "Siren? What are you doing here?!"
