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

"Your Majesty, we're here to help you!"

Ajin led ten golden dragons in a swooping attack, their claws unleashing golden battle energy in an attempt to shatter the incoming coral blades and intercept the ocean current tentacles.

But Lin Mo slightly raised his hand and said calmly, "Step back, you are no match for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned another ghost.

As it was sacrificed, the green hellfire surrounding it suddenly intensified, forming a solid barrier that firmly enveloped it.

The golden dragons paused, hovering in mid-air, their faces filled with anxious vigilance.

They could clearly feel that Tashuk's attack carried the pressure of a peak demigod.

Each of these attacks was enough to severely damage them.

But His Majesty insisted on dealing with it alone, so they could only keep a close eye on the battlefield, ready to rush in if Lin Mo was in danger.

At this moment, Lin Mo had his eyes slightly closed, focusing most of his attention on refining the demigod essence within his body.

Zhou Yue's power flowed into his body through the black sword, helping him to regulate his raging inner energy.

Yin Xue's pure spiritual power steadily protected his sea of ​​consciousness, isolating him from external attacks and interference.

At this moment, all Lin Mo could do was dodge Tashuk's attacks.

He did not retaliate, nor did he launch an attack.

He understood that even if he attacked now, he would not achieve any results.

He simply let the green hellfire envelop his entire body, nimbly weaving and dodging the dense attacks.

As the sharp coral blade shot towards him, Lin Mo slightly shifted his body to the side.

The stone blade grazed past his black robe, collided with the green flames behind him, and was instantly burned to ashes, leaving only a wisp of white smoke.

Thick, bouldering ocean currents coiled around him. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body soaring into the air. The tentacles slammed into the seabed, creating a huge crater.

He had already landed on the other side, and the green flames swept across the tips of the tentacles, instantly burning and melting that part of the power of law.

Seeing this, Tashuk became somewhat impatient, quickly forming hand seals and unleashing the full power of the Ocean Law.

"Hide? Let's see how long you can hide!"

Tashuk roared, his eyes filled with malice.

"When your spiritual energy is exhausted and your essence backfires, that will be your death!"

But Lin Mo didn't say anything, still focusing on dodging.

He seemed to be able to predict the trajectory of every attack.

Whether it was a shot from stone blades, an entangling grip from tentacles, or a slash from water blades, he could dodge them all with ease.

Sometimes it would bend down to avoid the water blades overhead.

Sometimes it would turn to the side to avoid the tentacles on its side.

As soon as the hellfire dimmed, he would immediately sacrifice a soul.

Any attack from the laws of the ocean that gets too close will be instantly burned and dissolved.

His movements were not fast, but extremely fluid.

With the help of Zhou Yue and Yin Xue, the demigod essence within his body was gradually refined.

Golden power flowed slowly through his meridians, and his aura steadily increased.

Those around them were already stunned, and the discussions that broke out again were even more shocking than before.

"My God! Despite being surrounded by attacks from all sides, they weren't even touched. That predictive ability is terrifying!"

"While refining the essence of a demigod, he calmly dodges attacks from peak demigods."

"This guy isn't even human!"

"As expected of the new emperor of the human empire, as expected of someone who dared to kill a divine envoy! Awesome!"

……

The siren stood there, stunned, her beautiful face filled with astonishment.

She never imagined that anyone could be so composed in the deep-sea purgatory of Tarshuk.

"I have to do something too."

The sirens gritted their teeth.

Her fingertips trembled slightly, and her hands were gently clasped in front of her chest.

Her long, seaweed-like hair swayed gently in the water, and a resolute light shone in her eyes.

The next second, a melodious and ethereal singing voice came from her lips.

Like moonlight in the deep sea, gentle yet powerful, it slowly penetrates the noisy battlefield, soothing everyone's emotions.

"This is... the Siren's Song! A song that can restore mental energy!"

"It's sung by the Siren Queen!"

"That sounds familiar; I've forgotten how many years it's been since I last heard it."

……

Amid the murmurs, the merman soldiers all stopped what they were doing.

Some of the older mermaids even had tears welling up in their eyes.

This song used to emanate from the Mermaid Palace every night, soothing the weariness and restlessness of all the mermaids.

The sound of this song signifies the end of a day's work, the soothing of all anger and sorrow, and the welcoming of a new day.

But ever since the Sirens were imprisoned, this song has become the deepest longing in the hearts of the merfolk.

Now, as the melody resounds once more, both land-dwelling races and merfolk instinctively lay down their weapons and quietly listen to this soothing tune.

The green flames surrounding Lin Mo were slightly soft.

The mental energy that had been somewhat tense due to refining the essence was visibly restored under the nourishment of the song, and the fatigue in the sea of ​​consciousness dissipated completely.

He looked down at the sirens not far away, a hint of tenderness flashing in his dark eyes.

She uttered two simple words: "Thank you."

The only one consumed by rage was Tashuk.

"Siren! What are you doing?!"

This comforting song sounded to him like the most jarring mockery.

The ocean laws surrounding him instantly became chaotic. He swung his trident wildly, splashing water everywhere, and his angry shouts made the seawater hum.

"I give you the best food every day! I give you the grandest palace! Why are you helping him! I am your father!"

Before the Sirens could speak, a dwarf merchant with a full beard stood with his hands on his hips and snorted loudly.

"To imprison someone, seize the throne, and drain her of her talent—how dare you even mention such a beastly act, how dare you question it?"

Tashuk flew into a rage and immediately turned to glare at him, his golden eyes filled with murderous intent.

But the dwarf merchant was not intimidated. He straightened his chest and glared back, showing no fear whatsoever.

"Exactly, isn't it all for that throne? He'd even scheme against his own daughter, and he still has the nerve to call himself king?"

The elven ranger stood beside the dwarf, bow drawn and arrow nocked, his gaze icy as he stared directly at Tashuk.

"That's right, such cold-blooded and ruthless people are generally called scum in our country."

A human mercenary gripped his weapon, stepped forward, and voiced his support.

"We're not here to watch you harm your own daughter and seize control of the kingdom!"

Even orcs and lizardmen stepped forward, their eyes filled with disdain.

Even among the merfolk, many soldiers lowered their heads, whispering amongst themselves, their eyes filled with discontent and doubt.

Tashuk was furious, his whole body trembling violently, and the pressure of the sea god surged wildly.

"Damn it! What do you know! Only I can lead the merfolk to strength! Only I can restore the glory of the merfolk!"

He was completely blinded by rage.

Ignoring the countless lives in the city, he raised his hand, and a massive, sky-covering sea claw materialized outside the protective bubble.

The claws gleamed with cold, law-like patterns, carrying an aura capable of tearing everything apart.

"Holy crap! He's going to tear off the plating!"

"This guy's gone mad! There are at least tens of thousands of land-dwelling beings in this city. If the bubble bursts, everyone will drown!"

"He's not the sea god! He wants to be the demon king! He wants to kill people to cover up his crimes!"

……

Everyone was utterly shocked and began to discuss the matter in a panic, with many people already fleeing in all directions.

At the same time, Lin Mo heard Zhou Yue's steady voice and Yin Xue's cheers.

"Alright! Refining complete!"
