I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

Human strength has its limits. Once they are exhausted and their defenses weaken, the gathered sea creatures will seize the opportunity to incorporate them into their evolutionary material pool.

"Although they performed well, as you said, the two or three of them alone are not enough to withstand the erosion of the great waves."

By day, leaning on the railing and looking out, all I could see was the pitch-black, lightless sea.

Beneath the sea surface, countless sea creatures have already taken over.

They move with the tide and ride the waves.

Beneath the surging waves lie countless colossal objects, each the size of a small mountain.

In the distance, on the line where the sea meets the sky, a mountain range is slowly rising.

"The time has come. Ah Zhi, you can come back now."

In the daytime, Bai raised his hand and manipulated the clouds to sweep up Bai and Pei, who had gathered together to fight the enemy, and brought them back to the cloud boat.

The little whale was a bit heavy; it took four clouds to barely lift her up.

"Uncle Zhou, we haven't caught Hai Si yet."

Back on the cloud boat, Bai Zhi, caught up in the moment, remembered the task Bai Zhou had given her.

"You still remember?"

"Hey, we got surrounded as soon as we went down, and we forgot about it while the fighting was going on."

The girl lowered her head in shame, tiptoeing. Pei Yu also lowered his head in shame, too ashamed to look at the daylight.

He was so preoccupied with the girl's safety that he completely forgot about this matter. Even though his Ice Source Stone technique was perfectly suited for this task.

Aresa sat on the deck of the cloud boat, resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the daylight.

The fact that the other party refused to give up on this idea made her somewhat worried.

"It's alright. I'll go catch one myself in a bit."

During the day, I looked at the distant mountain... no, I meant the ocean wave.

"You all stay on the cloud boat and do not move around."

The battle ahead is far beyond their control.

"Hey... hey hey hey hey!!!"

The girl looked completely bewildered, then felt her legs go weak, and the tiger ended up sitting right on a cloud.

The scene before her eyes had shattered her worldview.

The person... turned into... a dragon.

How can a human become a dragon?

How did such a small person become such a big dragon?

Bai Zhi thought the twenty-meter cloud boat was large enough, but now it was not even as big as a single scale of hers.

"I must be dreaming."

In his more than twenty years of life, Pei Yu had never felt such an urgent urge to faint. But he sadly discovered that fear and awe had actually made his mind clearer than ever before.

His body trembled with fear, but his mind compelled him to etch that majestic image into his mind.

The dragon's foot plunged into the sea, and a whirlpool tens of meters high rose from where its claws landed.

Within, seawater solidified into fragments of ice, transforming into deadly weapons that shredded all the sea creatures caught within. The overflowing filthy blood and debris stained the sea's color even deeper and more sinister.

When He raised His head, it was as if mountains were collapsing.

When He opened His mouth, it was like a raging storm.

Its long, cloud-like beard fluttered in the wind, and its massive, mountain-like scales crackled with silvery arcs of electricity.

The roaring sound pierced the heavens and earth, summoning countless bolts of lightning to gather on the horned crown that resembled a mountain and a forest.

Then, the sea in front of them was pierced by the lightning.

Descending from the sky to the earth, from land to sea.

The waves crashed and dispersed, their color gradually becoming clearer.

"Under such... such an attack..."

Pei Yu involuntarily touched his throat, forcing himself to make a sound.

"Those sea creatures...can they still survive...?"

"Some survived."

Alessa was equally shocked, but she was more knowledgeable. Although she acknowledged the unstoppable power of daylight, she was also aware of the capabilities of these nemesis whom she had fought against for so many years.

"Among them are real monsters created because of our mistakes."

Those advanced sea creatures, those sea creatures that appear entirely as war machines.

Monsters created using terrible technology because of Agor's initial contempt.

"Siren."

Aresa's voice rang out.

A beam of light, a crimson laser beam, shot out from beneath the sea, from where the sky meets the ocean, towards the majestic dragon.

Wherever it passed, the seawater evaporated, life was ravaged, and its own kind was destroyed. The empty seabed was exposed to the gaze of the heavens.

Such a massive wound would take even the boundless ocean some time to refill.

"Fireflies, do they also want to replace the light?"

Its sound was alarming, like thunder shaking the heavens.

A crimson, intensely hot light had reached the head of the dragon.

However, as the dragon exhaled again, the seemingly unstoppable laser beam vanished silently before it, like snowflakes in spring.

The dragon's breath transformed into a tangible gale, whipping up boundless waves that crashed against the monster hidden in the deep sea.

"Oh, it looks like it might work."

A light shone in Aresa's eyes; she saw an opportunity to destroy a key force of the Sea Siege.

"not only that."

Thus the dragon spoke.

He traveled on the wind, his two dragon claws retracted in front of him, each palm bearing a thunderous decree.

Two becomes four, four becomes eight, eight becomes thirty-six.

The true dragon, with the body of heaven and earth, wields supreme magical power and unleashes divine thunder magic.

"Heavenly decrees, thunder and lightning reaching the nine heavens, drive away evil spirits and protect the nation and its people."

But it was Bai Zhi who softly chanted.

When the sound faded, the world fell silent.

The bright sunlight was obscured by the arc of light from the vast sea.

Pale thunder stirred the deep sea, suppressing its filth and elevating its purity.

A long time passed, yet it felt like only a fleeting moment.

The dragon's mouth closed slightly, and the lightning dissipated.

During the day, the dragon's true form dissipated, and it reformed into human form, landing on the cloud boat.

He held an ice ball floating in his hand, inside which was a frozen flower.
