Chapter 1. Just an old Book

"Try not to die by tripping over yourself, Quinn!" A boy shouted down the hallway, laughing uncontrollably right after.

Quinn dismissed the petty mockery as he carried on walking down the school corridor. The harassment had become a daily occurrence for him, but it still bothered him just as much as it did every other day. Thus, he wasn't able to hold back his desire to retaliate.

Quinn slowed down his stride and stopped. He pushed his glasses back up onto the ridge of his nose as they had slipped down from his face. Just from looking at the glasses, it was clear that he needed a new pair - One could tell that they were heavily worn. The glasses looked crooked as he wore them, and even the temples had tape covering them.

He then turned around and immediately raised his middle finger, responding to the slander, "I bet you don't even know how many fingers I'm holding up!"

Upon hearing the taunt, the boy clenched his fist and started running towards Quinn.

"You level 1 piece of crap! When are you going to learn that you don't belong in this world?"

The boy placed both of his hands together, and a green ball of light started to form between them. When he was only a few meters away from Quinn, the boy threw his hands forward and a green beam shot out from the palm of his hands.

Quinn had nowhere to go, and the ray of light was too fast for him to dodge. Hence, he knew that all he could do was grit his teeth and bear the pain. As the light hit him, his body was lifted into the air and sent flying backward on to the far end corridor wall.

"What's going on?" A student among the crowd said. "Are they fighting on the last day of school?"

A crowd had immediately formed outside, interested in what the commotion was all about. One of the female students ran over to the wall's damaged part to check on the assaulted student's safety.

As the dust started to settle down, Quinn's slightly curly black hair slowly came into view. When the smoke eventually cleared up, the female student finally saw who it was. She instantly backed away and continued on with her business as if nothing happened.

The moment that the female student had returned to her friends, he could see that they were laughing at her.

"I can't believe you tried to help him."

"I didn't see who it was." The girl retorted, her cheeks flushed.

After that, Quinn stood up and lifted his glasses that were thrown on the floor. To his dismay, one of the hinges had fallen off once again. Instead of wearing the worn-out pair, he let it hang on his hand.

"Damn it. Not again..."

It was the last day of school for Quinn, so he hoped that someone wouldn't try anything with him. He was sick and tired of their doings, but he wasn't the type to ignore those either. He had seen people who had chosen to keep their heads down and tolerate the harassment. However, their treatment was far worse than what he received.

He didn't bother to stay at school like the rest of the students, he picked up his broken glasses and proceeded to leave school. As he walked past, he saw the students having conversations among themselves in their circles. Some were laughing while some had tears, thinking it was the last time they would ever see each other again. However, Quinn wasn't a part of any of that and he didn't want to be. Cliques would not welcome him anyway. He was the weird one.

When he finally arrived home, he immediately went to work. Living in a single bedroom apartment with just enough space to fit a single bed and desk was enough for him. A TV was mounted on the wall, but Quinn would merely use it as a background noise source and didn't watch anything.

The apartment was provided to him by the government since he had no living relatives and was only sixteen years of age. On top of his bed was a single suitcase that contained all of his belongings that were neatly packed.

He walked towards a cabinet, immediately pulling a drawer open which accommodated a single book. It was a large and thick hard-bound book, weighing about half a kilo. The front cover of the book was in a colour that mimicked a lighter shade of blood. In the centre, the lonesome fronts of an upper and lower jaw bone could be seen, both coloured in the swampy shade of brown. The upper jaw sort of had four separated fangs. Meanwhile, the lower one had two sharp teeth on the two far ends on the overhead and five evenly spaced underneath.

"Let's try again today," Quinn said as he lifted the book and placed it on top of the desk.

He then quickly went to his bag to pull out a little test tube that was half-filled with a colourless liquid.

"Test 112, Hydrochloric acid. Let's see how it goes?" He then started to slowly pour the liquid out of the test tube onto the book.

"So far, there is no reaction." He proceeded to continue to pour all of the test tube contents on the book, but there was no reaction at the end of his experiment.

Carefully, he examined the book while jotting down the results in his notebook. Seeing if there was any damage done, yet the book looked the same as always.

"Another failure. Why won't you open? Why did mum and dad even have this thing?"

One hundred and twelve times - This was the number of different ways that Quinn had tried to open the book. Not only did the book not open, but it seemed like it cannot be damaged either. He had even tried burning the book, cutting the book, melting the book, though nothing had worked against the book that seemed utterly durable.

Lying on his bed, he turned on the TV for its sole purpose, making background noises. He never really paid attention to what was on. With it, the sound of other voices made him feel less lonely.

Upon turning on, the TV displayed an ongoing NEWS show.

"The peace treaty with the Dalki race has lasted for five years now, but officials are saying that tension is rising once again. Now, we must prepare for another war…."

The mention of war had always been shown on the TV nonstop ever since a certain day thirty years ago. The human race received a visit from the so-called Dalki. They had the physique of humans, except for their skins that were riddled with scales and the presence of tails that were similar to what the dragons had.

With no real clue of why they had suddenly appeared, they immediately demanded that the Human race hand over their resources and wanted to use them as slaves. Of course, the humans decided to fight back, but they quickly found out that their modern technology was useless against them. Bullets couldn't penetrate their skin, and as for tanks, well, Dalki had airships.

Every individual, disregarding the gender, was told to fight for their planet, and that included Quinn's parents. The war went on for years, so he grew up not knowing what his parents looked like.

When the humans were on the brink of defeat, a select group of people came forward - These people had special abilities. They began sharing their knowledge of how they obtained such power in hopes of turning the tide in the war, and thankfully, it worked. Even so, the Dalki were still strong, and a seemingly endless stalemate led to the peace treaty signing five years ago.

Obviously enough, human greed got the better of humanity, and instead of sharing these powers with everybody else, the higher-ranked governmental officials decided to keep them for themselves. Only those with money could learn the more powerful abilities while everyone else was left with scraps.

It was something that needed to be done. Poverty had taken over the world, but people had powers and were using them uncontrollably, unlike before.

Quinn was given nothing when his parents died. The government agreed to pay for his living expenses while he was still in school, but that was it. When his parents died, him being at the age of ten, an agent appeared at his doorstep and handed him a book. He was told that it was the only thing that his parents possessed - One that they passed down when they died.

"Why is the world so unfair?" He uttered, lamenting about his situation.

Getting out of his bed, he started sauntering towards his desk. He picked up his glasses that were still slightly broken and decided that he needed to fix them. He noticed that one of the lenses was slightly out of place, and tried to punch it back into its frame.

"Come on! Just get in!" He shouted as he tried to forcefully fix the glasses. The frustration he had been bottling up was on his face as he struggled furiously with the lens.

Unfortunately, the lens suddenly crumbled into pieces, one of the shards of plastic even created a deep gash in his thumb.

He screamed and kicked at the table.

"Why does the world hate me?"

After a while, he calmed down and started to clean up the little pieces of glass, noticing that a piece had landed on top of his book. As Quinn removed the piece of glass, a drop of blood from his thumb landed on top of the book.

The object plastered on the centre of the book started to glow, and suddenly, the book began to float, hovering until it was on eye-level with Quinn.

Quinn darted back and away from it. The glow form the book made his room look emptier with the little bed at the corner and the solitary seat beside it.

"What the hell is happening?!"

The book started to emit a blinding radiance as it shook uncontrollably. A few seconds later, it finally opened up, pages after pages were being turned. Quinn couldn't take his eyes off of the shining book - It was as if he was in a deep trance. The words written on the pages of the book weren't in any language that he had seen before. Nevertheless, for some reason, he felt like he could understand it.

When the book reached its last page, it started to disappear, gradually turning into dust. At the same time, his body suddenly felt weak. Quinn's vision was starting to fade, and with that, his eyes pulled shut.

But just before he passed out, there was a single message that he heard.

[Congratulations you have been granted the Va....]

Unable to maintain consciousness long enough to hear the final words, Quinn duly passed out.

    Chapter—1842:
    Stronger Sides.

    Sailing through the endless sea was the giant mesh of equipment put together to create the almighty Ship, known as Rein, a suitable name given by the Pure faction. It continued to swim through the sea as it always did.

    The Ship itself never anchored near land, as there was always smaller freight of battleships that would be used to complete the trade-going from the giant ship Rein to the smaller places that Pure had their base on.

    There were two new members who had been here for a while now, and they received a grand treatment on board the Ship. Erin and Flora were staying in the same room on the Ship Rein.

    They were on the very top floor of the Ship, which was reserved for agents Four, One and Zero themselves. There were powerful friends that would help them at times and were allowed on the top floor, but these floors were generally for the leaders of Pure.

    Either way, there were not many arguments about these two new quests. For one, the public was unaware of what had transpired. They had no clue about the red vampires, nor did they know that the Dhampirs had almost been annihilated.

    To them, the world continued to exist as it always had. At the same time, the higher ranking members in Pure had always believed they were working with the Dhampirs on the side anyway, this was now more of a direct relationship, and they could do with having such strong forces on their side.

    Agent Four himself was just pleased that he had a new toy to play with, figuring out how the blood crystal would work or specific ways he could use it. The only one that seemed to be unhappy about the whole thing was Chris.

    However, his word could never go above Agent O's. In the end, no one in Pure was loyal to him. They were all devoted to Zero because he could give them what they wanted.

    Currently, Erin and flora were not in their rooms but instead on the outside in the fresh and open. On the very top of the Ship, above the floor where they would stay, there was a landing pad.

    This was designed for spaceships to come and land on, although not many did come, so it doubled up as a training place as well. With permission, Zero had granted access to Erin and Flora to use it.

    The space was large, almost the size of around three football fields. The ground was also solid, allowing them to train to their hearts extent.

    Erin held onto the large Ice blade with the flame grip. The demon-tier weapon that initially belonged to Oscar was now in her hands. She charged forward and held the giant longsword down her side.

    Lifting it, she swung it down, with a large force of Qi, crashing into Flora's blade. An explosion was heard, and smoke filled the area of the two, but looking out the end of the other side was Flora, and in her hand was the legendary sword that belonged to Arthur.

    "Your weapon is a strong one, but you can't just rely on it. Stop thinking so much about using all the powers the sword has." Erin lectured.

    "Remember everything you have learnt, and try to use your ability and the sword. Do not forget, the weapon you hold in your hand is not the only weapon you can use!"

    Hearing this, Flora then threw out a yellow aura slash with her own hand rather than the sword, while at the same time, using the string ability, she swung the sword out toward Erin.

    The only thing was, with her bare hands, Erin knocked the yellow aura away into the sky while using her sword to block the incoming sword.

    The training between the two of them continued at an intense rate and watching it all was Zero from one end of the large platform. There was a viewing deck-a place where people went on after landing for snacks, drinks and more.

    From time to time, events would be held on the large platform, with stands as such up here. The room they were in would be used as a dressing room for the ones putting on a show.

    Today though, like many days, Zero was a spectator with Chris by his side.

    "What do you think?" Zero asked.

    "They are strong." Chris replied.

    "They have good weapons, and that Queen of theirs has a ridiculous amount of Qi that could be measurable to mine."

    "Although, to be honest, I doubt she has gone all out in any of these training sessions against that little pupil of hers."

    "However, we already knew she was strong when she defeated Laxmus, which is why I'm telling you to be careful. Do not underestimate her just because she came here to ask for help."

    Zero continued to watch for a while, as he was fascinated at the two of them fighting before giving a reply.

    "If we are to start an all-out war against our enemy. then we have to be prepared for all those who will or might intervene to help those people."

    "Logan Green, Jake Green, The Blade family, Andy, from the Vampire Corps, Quinn Talen and his damned Gang."

    "There is even the Dalki-looking one that fought against you. I also do not doubt that the Graylash family, whom I push came to shove, would get involved on their side as well."

    "Currently, as things are, although people see both sides as even, it's only because we have the majority support of the people. So if they make a move, they will be seen as ruthless and power hungry."

    "The people will think they are the ruthless ones who will do anything to get their way, simultaneously destroying us, the logical and fair ones. Bringing these two on board is a must."

    Chris understood what Zero was saying. It was why they had tried so hard to get the Chained on their side before things had messed up. However, these days, now that the dhampirs were with them, Chris was wondering if there was another way.

    "Based on everything I just said, Agent Four and I will leave for a while. A planet with a suspected nest of demon-tier beasts has been discovered."

    "Their weapons and power will do well to improve our forces if we do go into a fight." Zero explained. "Which means you will be in charge of this entire ship while I am away."

    The look on Chris's face showed he was surprised, this was unexpected, and he hardly knew Zero to go off like this.

    "Wait, aren't those from the Green city coming here soon? Will you be away for that as well?"

    "Correct." Zero nodded.

    "Without a doubt, they will think the meeting is a trap. But, with my presence gone, maybe they will feel at ease. As for what you wish to do in this meeting, I will leave it up to you."

    "Talk about working together, bridging connections, give and take of land and power. Whatever it takes just to delay them into thinking we won't act any time soon."

    Just then, they heard a loud bang, and the whole top floor started to shake. When looking out the glass window, they could see it was from the two training, and flora was on the ground, severely injured.

    "What about the two? You don't expect me to hide them, do you?" Chris asked.

    "If those from Green City see them, they will immediately think that this is a trap. In fact, they might start fighting us right here, trying to get rid of us all!"

    A smile appeared on Zero's face as if he was expecting that response.

    "Don't worry about them. They won't be here either. They will be coming with me."

    "Since they will be working closely with us, it only makes sense for us to work closely together on this."

    "Besides, I plan to clarify who works for whom in this treachery." Zero answered.

      Chapter—1843:
      A Great Teacher.

      Once again, the most advanced stealth fighter ship from Green city was being used. It was the same one as the group had used when travelling to the Red Vampire base, only this time they were heading to a place that was probably equally as dangerous for those onboard.

      Although the general public would never see it that way.

      They were going to the Pure base, the large ship known as Rein. The coordinates had been sent to them. Because it was almost impossible to find the ship without them. The ship would communicate with the bases they had on land, and it was the same if anyone wanted to immigrate to the main ship.

      They would have to ask about it at one of the few Pure Shelters that were set up around earth and a few other places on the other planets on the Milkey Way galaxy.

      As for the ship itself, without the coordinates, there were claims that it was untrackable. It seemed like. over the course of a 1000 years, there were those that were able to create technology that could catch up with the great Logan Green.

      Or at least after all this time, they had ways of countering him.

      This time, the group was not as large as it was before, as there were many that had left the group to pursue their own thing. Vorden and Borden had gone back to the Blades. They were on standby in case anything was to happen, and at the same time, Logan said bringing them to the pure base would be trouble.

      Hannah was no longer with them helping out those at the Red Vampire base. Vincent, had yet to wake up, but rather than sit around and do nothing they wanted to do something which led them to where they were right now.

      There was no longer Jake either. On his father's advice, it would be best not to send him.

      In truth, Logan wanted to go with them, and if he could he would have sent Jake like he did when they went to the Red Vampire base, but this was meant to be a civil meeting. There was no threat to be made from either side.

      A leader couldn't just go to the base of the other side, it was dangerous for them. Even if the leader was killed, the other side could blame it on some extremist assassin, even if they were the ones that hired them.

      In fact, Logan had claimed even through all his meetings with those at Pure, he had never met Zero himself. The only one he would stay in contact with was Agent 4. The Great scientist of Pure.

      Which was why sending a group of misfits would be okay.

      Currently, on board, were Muka, Jessica, Lucia, Peter, Mitchell and finally Minny. All of them were at a meeting around a cheap metal table. Apparently, Mitchell brought it on board with him so they could have more efficient meetings.

      Minny had even got her own seat, and she slammed her two fists on the table.

      "Okay, so how are we going to solve this!" Minny said.

      Although the girls seemed to find it cute and adorable, Mitchell was slapping his forehead.

      "Who thought it was a good idea to bring a little girl into enemy territory, why didn't we just leave her at Green City, surely she would have been safer there," Mithcell complained.

      "Hey, she saved my life." Lucia argued back. "Minny is more than capable, besides, it was Peter who decided to bring her along."

      Mitchell looked at Peter hoping for a reasonable answer, the thing was, from this person he wasn't really expecting one.

      "If anything happened to her, how do you think Quinn would react?" Peter replied.

      "Do you really think she is safer in Green city, with a person who doesn't really know her, or right by my side?"

      It certainly was a good case surprisingly, Mitchell couldn't argue with that, and certainly not when the strongest person on this ship without a doubt was Peter. Although no one saw him as the leader, instead that role had naturally gone to someone else.

      Controlling this entire meeting was none other than Muka.

      "There are two key points that we have to remember about this meeting" Muka began to explain. "For one, we are officially going to apologise about losing the Red Heart."

      "No doubt they know that the Green family was involved in the attack by the Red Vampires due to Jake Green's display of his abilities. Logan wishes for us to talk about how both of our groups can move forward from this."

      "Remember, that Pure has been working with the dhampirs as well so this will be a difficult task, but we are not to initiate or start a war."

      "Whatever the case please try to keep your fists to yourself. If we start a fight while visiting on behalf of the Green's we will lose the people's trust."

      Everyone nodded showing they understood, but they all soon turned their heads to Peter, including Minny.

      "I will try, but self defence must be an option," Peter replied.

      "That is acceptable." Muka then gave a nod toward.

      Mitchell, as she wanted him to keep an eye on Peter, and be the one to calm him down, or reason with him when it came to it. This was probably the hardest task that anyone had.

      "Great, as for the second task, the true reason why we are visiting is to find out if they can give us any information about when Leo, and Sera attacked 1000 years ago."

      Lucia, scrunched up her forehead as she was trying to think.

      "How, are we going to do that exactly, I mean, it seems like the whole attack wasn't exactly a good experience for them. It's as if we are going to apologise and then ask them for a favour."

      "They might be okay." Mitchell replied.

      "Pure are more Civil than people think, and have been for a while. They only act a certain way towards vampires to get support from the people.

      "Honestly, at this point, we don't really know if we have another goal other than winning a general election to be put into power."

      "So asking them a few questions about the past might not be a big deal, we just need to get to the right person."

      "So as a green, we are to find out what happened to Leo the last time he was attacked," Muka said and once again they all nodded.

      "I have a question." Jessica said, raising her hand shyly as if she was in the middle of school.

      "Can you please tell us, who was this Leo person? Why is he so important to the Dhampir Queen? Can one man really make such a difference?"

      His was actually a question that many wanted to ask, but the main person Quinn wasn't there to answer.

      "For me, he was a powerful Vampire knight. He worked for Quinn as his second in command and looked after those in the tenth."

      "At one point there was a large attack from the Blood suckers and he had managed to survive until the king came, which is a grand feet itself."

      "He also got the name of 'Armlobber', but I can't remember why."

      That had explained a bit about Leo's life in the vampire world but there had to be more.

      "Leo, wasn't always a vampire," Peter answered.

      "He was a teacher at the school first, and he was someone who was turned by Quinn. Before he was even turned though he had helped us a number of times."

      "He never seemed to follow rules, set form above and always just followed his own rules. Whatever he believed in. I don't know the full story."

      "Erin had become Leo's pupil of a sort. The two of them had worked together for a long time. She seemed to respect him, do anything he said."

      "That's why we need to know what had such an impact on her life, whether it was Leo's death, or something else that we don't know."

      The others thought of the man who taught the Dhampir Queen, they had already seen how strong Erin was in combat, her swordsmanship was not to be laughed at. It was difficult for them to imagine the person mentioned or what they would look like.

      While everyone was left with their thoughts, a beeping sound was heard. Turning around through the large glass pane window, they could see it, the enormous ship known as Rein.

    Chapter—1839:
    I'm in a rush! (Part 1)

    Looking at Quinn on the large giant fleet ship, Wince had a large smile on her face. This was the person that she had relied on, the person she had put all her hopes into taking back her planet.

    She just never thought that he would have such a big fear over the deep blue sea, but she was lucky that his friend, as well as the captain of the cruise, had been lucky enough to help her.

    The real question on her mind, and Sil's thought was just what Quinn was doing this entire time.

    —— —— ——

    Back on the beach before the city had been risen by Sil above the water, Quinn had just turned Ceril into a new type of subclass. Checking out the system, he was wondering if there were any different traits to the subclass.

    Usually, when creating a subclass for the first time, the system would prompt him with a load of information on the subclass. Telling him the usual traits, special powers and more but this time there was nothing.

    "Is this because it's completely new, the system has no information on such a thing?" Quinn thought.

    What he had done was travelled into the unknown. Quinn had given his celestial energy to the Amra race people. That didn't seem to be a problem as it hadn't changed them so much only made them more powerful.

    Whoever, this was different, Quinn was using his traits as a vampire to create what was in front of him, but there was nothing that he could do for now, and it looked like she wouldn't be waking up any time soon.

    "Why did you just attack that large spaceship!" Nog shouted. "Are you trying to let them know where we are?"

    After destroying the ship with his large blood spear, Quinn was looking through the system to try to learn more about Ceril. To Nog, it looked like the acts of a madman, who would constantly mumble, talk to himself, or just gaze off into the distance.

    Now, he had just taken a large ship as if he had grabbed a piece of fruit to eat.

    "Yeah." Quinn replied.

    "If the others are in trouble then we need to grab their attention and pull them up to here, and without a better way other than getting in the water, this is our only choice."

    Shadow started to cover Quinn and it was the first time Nog had seen such a thing, causing him to step back.

    "These humans are strange to have these mystical powers and now shadows as well?" Nog thought.

    With the demon-tier chest piece now equipped, Quinn sprouted out his wings and covered them with the shadow as he usually would have.

    "Look after her, and if she wakes up and looks like he's trying to eat youm, stay away from her." Were Quinn's final words as he flew up in the sky.

    He flew fast and as he expected, the other smaller ships as well as the larger fleets that had been orbiting in space were heading in the direction where the attack had come from.

    They were leaving space and coming closer and closer to the planet's orbit. Finally, Quinn stopped in the air, as he could see a strange pod-like vehicle. It was a see-through ball with a pilot inside. The vehicle also had two laser pointers sticking out from it.

    Soon four of them were around Quinn. The larger fleet ships similar to the one that he had destroyed were slower at moving so they would take some time to reach him.

    "Identify yourself or we will fire!" One of the small pod ships ordered.

    "I'm looking for your leader, I think his name is Yanny. Can you please tell him to come up here so we can talk?" Quinn asked.

    These people were just soldiers following orders, so if it could be avoided Quinn didn't want to just kill them.

    The soldiers in the pods just laughed and Quinn could see the lasers on their ships charging up. Since they had attempted to kill him now, he felt like he had no choice. All four of them begin to fire at once.

    Curling up, with his two shadow wings, the Lasers hit them, adn at the same time came back out, firing at themselves. It had come as a surprise to them and they were unable to move out of the way of the strike, causing all four of them to explode in an instant.

    Leaving them to fall to the ground, Quinn didn't check if they were okay or not, his eyes were set on the large ship that had just arrived. Flying at full speed Quinn started to spin his body and narrow his wings so he went in faster like a missile.

    The weapons on the large ship were unable to fire at him and before they knew it, Quinn was attached to the side of the ship. Using the regular gauntlet he had on his hand, he pierced the exterior with ease, and pulled away a large chunk of the ship throwing it to the ground.

    He entered the inside and started to summon ten blades hovering around his back with the blood aura. He walked into the ship's room and started walking around looking to see if he could find anyone and it didn't take long for a group of the same people that had attacked them on the cruise ship, to arrive with their guns pointed at him.

    "Please don't fire at me. I just want a way to contact this Yanny guy. If not, then maybe one of you guys knows how to get back to earth?" Quinn asked.

    "FIRE!"

    Once again, it was attack first and ask questions later but Quinn had been prepared for this. He covered himself with the wings, blocking all the laser shots with them. Although he could try and avoid them all with his speed, that was tiring work for these lot.

    At the same time, the group were firing from all sorts of different angles for his last trick of firing back at them to work. Instead, while turtling up and covering himself with the wings.

    He had his blood swords do the work. They flew through the air, gogin right through the attackers' hearts, slicing through them and continuing to travel through their bodies with ease.

    They were swirling around the entire room, and their attention was focused on the blood swords, but firing at them did nothing.

    In the end, there was silence as Quinn dealt with them all. Through a series of events similar to this one, he had ended up going to the main command centre of the ship and in the end destroying the ship or the captains themselves would opt to self explode the ship.

    It wasn't a problem for Quinn, as he could just use his shadow space while the explosion was going off. It was time for him to move to the next one.

    Using Qi, blood aura, the shadow, and very little of his martial arts he could take on anyone that was on board the ships, and eventually, he found a captain that was a little more than compliant.

    After seeing three of the large ships already being destroyed it looked like he knew what was about to come next.

    "Take me to Yanny!" Quinn started with the captain's head pressed against the control panel of the ship. He was getting quite frustrated that the same thing was happening again and again.

    Even using his influence skill was useless because most of these guys didn't even know where he was. That is when a small blip appeared on the rader. It was close to them, and somewhat directly beneath them. Quinn had the perfect idea on how to drop down and get there quicker to show the others he meant business.

    —— —— ——

    All of those events had led to where Quinn was right now, standing on top of the ship.

    "Who are you?" Yanny asked. "And why are you standing on one of my ships!"

    Out of anger, Yanny had thrown out a whirlpool of water from his hand directly toward Quinn. Seeing this, Quinn lifted his hand and swung it. The next moment, it looked like the water just disappeared into nothing.

    The third stage of Qi was enough to break up the attack that had been used.

    "That... that is the person who I brought." Wince said smiling.

      Chapter—1840:
      I'm in a rush! (Part 2)

      Right now, looking at the man standing on the ship Yanny's blood was beyond boiling point. He had no clue who this person was but it was clear that they weren't a Mermerial, just like the one before.

      It was twice now that someone had come in and interrupted his plans. They had significantly changed the flow of everything that was going on, this was also the exact problem that Yanny was talking about. The reason why he wanted to take over the race and focus on strength, so outsiders of different races couldn't affect them.

      Rather than suppressing the great powers they had, they should have empowered them. The only thing was after that one attack, Yanny was unsure how powerful this person was.

      Ignoring the crashing ship, the fight with the others soon continued, the remaining predators were going for the Dalki, while the remaining few were going after Sil. Now that Quinn was here, he didn't want to waste any more time at all.

      Yanny had practically blinked for a second, and Suddenly Quinn was no longer in his sights, Instead, he was holding onto one of the other predators.

      [Skill celestial drain is being used]

      In one hand, he held a Predator by the head, in the other, he was controlling his blood to attack the remaining others. Then when finally drained, Quinn had gathered two blood rifles in both of his hands, aimed carefully and fired it out killing the other two predators that were fighting against the other Dalki.

      The celestial energy that he got from the predators wasn't worth his time.

      "Who is that person..." People who were still hiding in the city asked.

      "They just killed the predators with ease. This makes no sense?"

      Now that they had all been dealt with, there was only one more to go.

      "You know, I could have taken them all out as well?" Sil asked. "You try fighting in the water, while looking after everyone at the same time."

      "I know you could have Sil. It seems you took a lot on your shoulders this time." Quinn stated and looked toward Yanny who had taken a step back.

      "Wait!" Princess shouted, slamming her trident into the ground.

      "Please Quinn. I know you have helped me, all of you have, at my request. But this is something that I need to do. Please, let me deal with him."

      The reason why Quinn didn't hold back unlike Sil, was because he felt like they had spent enough time here. Of course, they didn't want to destroy the whole planet and kill innocent lives, but everyone they needed was here.

      When looking at Wince, Quinn noticed the trident and gave Sil a look, who just gave an awkward smile back.

      "Let her have this one, I think she just might win." Sil winked.

      The large ship that had crashed down in the square had taken up half of it, but the other half was clear for the two of them to fight. Dogthus, Sil and Quinn were now watching the outcome.

      —— —— ——

      The trident was a natural weapon in Wince's hand. She had hardly used a weapon like this before, only swords and others when the royal family would train her. Yet, it felt like an extension of her body.

      Even now out of the water it was so light. She continually spun the trident around herself, and then finally thrust it forward toward Yanny shooting out a jet stream of water.

      "If you think for a second I'm going to give up now when I was so close, then you are dead wrong!"

      Yanny jumped to the side avoiding the strike, it was one of the few times the jet stream of water from the trident had actually avoided him. In his hands, he had also gathered balls of water. Although, they didn't look normal as they moved about.

      Immediately he started to throw them toward the princess, one after another. Wince, unsure what these were, had decided to avoid the first one. She jumped back and the second the ball of water touched the ground, it exploded and several splashes of water came out in all different types of directions.

      Some of them came towards her but spinning the trident, she was able to block the attack. When spinning the trident a strange blue glow would come out towards it.

      Still, several more attacks were coming and hence why she was unable to avoid them all. Eventually one of the water bombs had exploded next to her and she couldn't stop the slashes of water that were going towards her feet. It had caused a big deep cut and her blood was now spilling on the ice.

      "The wound is quite deep, I won't be able to move as well as I could before."

      Seeing this as an opportunity, creating a larger water bomb combining two of them together Yanny through it towards her again.

      Just as it looked like the water bomb was about to hit the ground, she propped herself up ion the trident. Then used it to lift her own body above in the air.

      The water bomb had exploded right where the trident was but she knew a weapon like hers could take it.

      Pushing off while in the air upside down, she lifted herself as if someone was doing a type of high jump and held the trident in her hand like a spear. Wince's hand was glowing slightly blue as she threw it out, and while in the middle of the air it started to multiply tuning into six different tridents.

      With the way they were coming towards Yanny it was impossible for him to avoid them all, and one of the tridents stuck right through his arm. Activating the blue glow around her hand, the trident suddenly appeared right back in her hand again.

      "I told you she would do alright, and it looks like she finally learnt how to use the thing, although I can create quite a few tridents, that thing is still better in my hands," Sil said.

      "You think this is over don't you, I can tell from the look on your face." Yanny had one of his arms holding the wound applying pressure to it, but in one of the others, was the blue pearl he had been holding the entire time.

      "All of you will wish you joined my side." Yanny threw the blue pearl on the floor and it broke. Immediately, a large amount of energy could be felt escaping out of the ball.

      Seeing this, Quinn and Sil knew it was celestial energy. The two of them jumped and leapt to where Wince was, as this would no longer be a fair fight.

      The sea outside of the ice started to become wild, dark clouds gathered above them all, and the wind began to pick up as well. The people seeing all of this thought that a catastrophe was about to strike.

      "Please Yongu, rise and teach all of these fools a lesson, show them why the predators have worshipped you!" Yanny laughed.

      The blue mist coming out from the pearl, started to gather into a pure blue energy form. It was starting to make out a shape, a large figure that was a little bigger than Yanny himself.

      An outline was starting to appear. It had large wings growing from its back, a face of a sea creature mixed between a shark and an octopus, yet had a figure of a human. When the outline finally finished forming, the blue energy particles dispersed and without a doubt, what they were staring out now, was a god, another Celestial.

      Immediately, Yanny bowed down in front of him.

      "Oh please, great master, get rid of these fools who wish to take over your planet."

      Looking at the creature, there was a shiver in all of the people's spines, and even Wince was taken aback.

      "A real God... the god of the sea. The predators really did serve him, it wasn't a rumour after all." Now Wince felt guilty, guilty for bringing these two along, to suffer a cruel death there was nothing they could do.

      Yongu was staring at the Celestial having been summoned, he then titled his head down, to look at the so called intruders.

      "Who dares disturb my..." Yongu's words were cut short as soon as he laid eyes on the intruders.

      There was silence, as he blinked a couple of times, and suddenly got down on his knees.

      "Please... please Great Celestial BB, please spare me."

      The great god in front of the whole Mermerial race was on his knees begging for his life.

        Chapter—1841:
        Legendary BB.

        Everyone at the scene was so stunned by the actions they were seeing that they had stepped out of their homes and the shelter they were hiding behind. Some of them even rubbed their eyes and pinched themselves, but without a doubt, they weren't dreaming.

        The one that was currently bowing down on the ground was a God. Not just any god, but one who looked like a Fishman from the Meremerial race. They knew quite a bit about this God and their powers as their history books have described him well.

        He was a powerful being who helped the Meremerial race in tough times, helping the predators of the sea. However, in recent times, he hadn't been seen during the divide, and he had slowly become more of a rumour over the years.

        The only thing was, it was clear he was real. Someone had been giving the current predators of today their powers. No one knew whether it was the old God or not, but when they saw him, they knew everything was true.

        Something inside their bodies was shaking as they felt his power, so why...why was this powerful and mighty God now bowing down in front of these outsiders? It didn't make any sense.

        The thing was, in all honesty, Quinn was also confused by what was happening right now.

        "This is a Celestial. I can tell by their energy, but why are they acting like this? I haven't seen this person before." Quinn thought, trying to remember.

        "Yongu!" Yanny shouted by his side. He was nervous while looking back and forth between Quinn and his God. "What are you doing? Yongu should not be on your knees! Instead, you should use your great power to eliminate these invaders!"

        "You yourself said you would get rid of anyone who came an..." In the middle of his sentence, Yongu stood up and clutched Yanny by his mouth, making him shut up.

        "If you dare say another word, I will ensure you never live to see another day. I will not lose my life because of you." A surge of power was brewing all over Yongu as he said this.

        His grip let go, and Yanny fell to the ground on his backside. He was so filled with fear that he couldn't even move because he knew that this God could take him out in an instant, which was why it was even more confusing for him that the latter was kneeling on the ground.

        Looking at Quinn, he couldn't sense the same amount of energy out of him. This was because Quinn, of course, had his Celestial energy internally and wasn't using it at the moment.

        "What do you think we should do?" Sil asked, peeking at the God who had gone to kneel again, almost instantly after dealing with Yanny.

        "It's the God-slayer... I was pretty sure it was you, BB, but now that you are with the god slayer, I can confirm you are indeed BB." Yongu stated.

        Listening to what this Celestial was saying, Quinn was trying to piece things together. The only ones that knew Quinn as BB were from Celestial Space. Was it from his fight with Athos? Was this celestial one of them that had seen him?

        "Quinn." Princess said as she walked forward. "Who are you? How did you make him do something like this?"

        "Please!" Yanny finally got the nerve to shout out again. He was in a desperate situation, His last trump card was now not working, and he felt like there had to be some type of mistake. "Explain why you won't fight these two."

        For a second, Yongu turned around and glared at Yanny again, but he kept his head down and stayed in his position out of respect for Celestial 'BB' in front of him.

        "BB is a god that has been banned from the Celestial Space." Yongu gulped before he went on to the following sentence.

        "He is the one that has decided to go against us, against our ways, and fought hundreds of gods at once. Defeating many of them... including me."

        Audible gasps spread throughout the crowds. Although they didn't quite know what was going on, without a doubt, the words they heard were impressive. It sounded almost impossible.

        Wince's eyes widened, and her hands trembled.

        She recalled their conversation at the bar when Quinn claimed to be a God. Although she had used that phrase to describe him a few times, she never meant it in a literal sense, and now she learnt that not only was he telling the truth, but he was perhaps beyond a conventional God.

        "Yongu told me about that rampage you went on, but I didn't realise it had this much effect," Sil whispered with his hand covering his mouth.

        The truth was, even Quinn didn't know the chaos he had triggered. It was out of anger and desperation that he had done such an act. He never thought that his real-world self would cross over a celestial from that space, at least not this soon.

        "I don't even remember killing him in that space, but I was fighting just anything I could see at the time, and in that space, we could only see outlines, not the real figure of the enemies."

        "This guy must have never thought he would meet me. He might think I'm here to get revenge to kill them all in real life or something, and they will have to reincarnate?"

        "I will not kill you." Quinn said confidently, walking closer to the other.

        "Is if you can meet my conditions at least. That man is never to set foot on this planet again."

        Quinn pointed towards Yanny. Although Quinn personally had no troubles with him, based on the fight, he knew that was the one that Princess Wince was having trouble with.

        "I assume you caused all this mess because it has something to do with your condition. Well, I wish for you to work it out with the new leader. The Princess over here."

        Quinn raised his hand toward her.

        For some reason, Wince found it quite embarrassing as all eyes were on her, and hearing Quinn say these words, the crowd behind started to cheer.

        "Yes, bring back the old Royal family!"

        "I can't believe we let that Yanny do as he wished in the first place."

        "Look at them." Sil tooted. "All of sudden, they are brave and ready to defend her, but at least it looks like the Princess is happy"

        Sil finally could get rid of part of his guilt with this. Although there was one thing that he still wanted and was unwilling to give up, and that was the Trident. It had become his favourite weapon.

        He needed to think of some way to convince the Princess to give it back.

        "Yes, I can do all those things. My condition will be fine even if I work with the Princess!" Yongu said, banging his head against the floor several times to show his sincerity.

        "How could you betray me like that!" Yanni panicked, "I did everything you said. After I've served you for so long, you just toss me aside and..." Yongu had stood up and given a back fist to Yanny. It sent him flying through the city, bypassing every building and eventually, he fell into the deep sea.

        "He is still alive, but if he carries on, he will definitely not bring you any trouble. Forgive him. He is one of my dedicated followers of mine." Yongu explained.

        It seemed things were going well, but all of the requests Quinn had made so far were for the others and not for him, now came the moment of truth, and he was hoping for a useful answer.

        "Finally, as long as you keep these promises, I will not kill you in any way or form, and in fact, I will help you when need be, but I wish for you to return me and my friend to the Earth." Quinn requested.

        So far, they have had no such luck. Athos had disagreed because it would mean going against the other celestials, but how would they know where he was at that time unless they were checking every star they could find.,

        At the same time, Quinn was gambling.

        In front of him was a Celestial who feared him more than the others.

        "I... I... I... I agree to the deal. I will return both you and your friend to Earth."

    Chapter—1837:
    Rise!

    Having felt the large currents before and the dark figures in the sea, Sil knew immediately that these were the dangerous large sea beasts that roamed the sea. However, this city was a lot larger than the last place they were at and there were a lot more large shadows going through the sea.

    "It has to be that damn blue pearl that's causing them all to come out here." Sil thought. "The question is, can he control the sea beasts, or is he doing some sort of suicidal attack?"

    Sil could see that Wince was still fighting. She was thrusting her trident and was doing a good job of pushing Yanny back. In truth, the smart thing to do was for Sil to get the blue pearl and destroy it, but he wanted the princess to get her own revenge.

    On top of that, it looked like his Dalki friend was at his limit with his own fight. Quinn did say to push him to the end, but at this rate, he would end up dead.

    "I guess it's all up to me." Sil sighed. "Still, there is a way to solve this in a way that everyone wins in the end. It just means it's a lot more work for me."

    Changing his abilities, Sil began to clone himself. He started to make more copies of himself until there were around thirty of him in total. The next step was the choice of weapons. The portal that each Sil could open up was linked to the same space so they had access to whatever weapons they wanted.

    Although Sil only had around 10 demon tier items inside, he still had plenty of strong weapons for them all to choose from.

    The predators who had a boost of strength from the pearl activating their celestial energy were stunned. They felt like they finally had the upper hand and then the strange human had done this.

    They were unsure if the strength of each clone was the same as the original, but if the one that was helping the Dalki out was anything to go by, they felt like they were in serious trouble, and no one wanted to attack first.

    "Alright everyone, it's going to be a bumpy ride but do your best to fight at whoever is going to come your way! I won't slow down for anyone!" The real Sil ordered.

    The rest of them nodded, raising their weapons in the air like some type of army. Straight after each of them used the water ability to swim away. They headed to the edge of the city, spreading out and surrounding the place in a large circle.

    At the same time, there were a couple that stayed in front of Sil with the demon-tier weapons and one of them had gone over to the sea beast that had helped them out.

    The clone Sil soon opened a large portal the size of the giant beast and ordered it to go inside.

    "You have done well and have helped us. So I don't want you to die. Although if you do die, then I promise to make you into a nice weapon." Sil smiled.

    The beast listened and got into the portal which quickly closed up.

    The people in the city were wondering what the strange clones were doing. Why were they on the edge of the city and why had they surrounded the place? But the next second, they somewhat understood.

    A large water pump burst from the hands of one of the clones and headed straight for the dark, ghostly figure. He hit the beast, but at the same time unleashed his own Back to Force attack, firing a red laser from somewhere, but using his small dagger weapon, he was able to deflect the attack to retaliate against the beast.

    At the same time, as the other large beasts were coming closer, the clones were using their strength and might to take them out as well.

    "Is that person protecting us from the beasts? But why?" The townsfolk said.

    "He is with the princess. She did shout about having some type of warrior on her side."

    "The one that should be protecting us though, is Yanny. Not some stranger from another race. He talks about the pride of the predators but what are they doing?"

    It was clear that this act from Sil was starting to turn public opinion. Seeing how strong the princess was now fighting Yanny back, the small nearly invisible hope that they had on the other side was starting to return.

    The only thing was, Sil wasn't doing this to protect them. This was only the start of his plan. Now that the clones had gone away from the real Sil's side, the predators were confident once again and had charged in.

    The real Sil didn't have to worry as he had left two by his side with strong weapons in front of him. Instead, he needed to focus on something else. Placing both hands on the ground, Sil was ready.

    "After doing all of this, I don't know how much MC points I'm going to have left. So Dalki... Princess, it's all up to you." Light started to shine right underneath Sil's hand and in the next second the ground started to freeze.

    It spread out from the area he was on, and crossed the entire floor. The fish people were relatively scared of this. They decided to float up a little so they wouldn't be touching the sea floor.

    The ice continued to spread out more and more, reaching the very edges of the entire city. Even though the public didn't know how someone was capable of such a thing, they knew that one would have to have an enormous amount of power to cover such a large space, but what was the reason behind it?

    "Now here comes the hard part." Sil wiped his head, as he braced himself and placed both hands on the ground again. Immediately the whole city was raised from where it was. It was moving through the sea at an incredible speed.

    No longer was the city attached to the floor of the sea, but instead it was on a giant ice pillar that was getting larger by the second. Due to the force felt on their bodies, many of the Mermerials were on the floor lying flat.

    "What is going on!" Yanny shouted.

    After the sudden acceleration had stopped, they were now travelling through the sea. The ice pillar was getting larger and larger and the sea creatures that they had avoided had been replaced with new ones.

    They were attracted by the strange object coming through the sea, through their territory and were swimming closer keeping an eye on it. Still, this was why the clones were placed on the side of the city to make sure that anything that attempted to attack them would be dealt with. Sending out a few attacks the clones were fighting off tentacles, claws and more that were coming toward them that could be seen.

    One of the clones had been grabbed by a tentacle. The clone was not immediately killed but pulled deep into the water where he couldn't be seen. On top of that, with the pillar of ice still moving, they were getting further and further away from the clone.

    "What is this person planning? Why is he doing this!" Yanny shouted, still holding the pearl in one of his hands, trying to summon the sea beast towards them. The entire advantage he had was ruined.

    "You don't have time to worry about that!" Princess shouted as she thrust the trident forward. This time, it had been grabbed by Yanny. With a twist though, Wince was able to create several currents around it that sliced Yanny's hand causing him to bleed.

    "Damn you. Damn you all!" Yanny screamed and for the first time, he could see a clear shadow on the ground. Looking up, he could see that they were now near the surface of the water.

      Chapter—1838:
      The Surface.

      At first, Sil was going at a steady pace with the ice pillar moving the entire city. This was because moving it faster would require more MC points. Although Sil was a monster when compared to anyone else in terms of MC points back on Earth, this whole event had taken quite a lot out of him.

      Moving an entire city, constantly freezing the water was no easy task, and on top of that he had his clones out fighting against deadly beasts at the same time. So moving the city slowly was so he would have just enough MC points to still deal with everything if they got out of hand.

      If Wince had failed in defeating Yanny, if the Dalki was unable to take out the predators, and if Quinn was nowhere to be seen, then he would have to deal with everything.

      Although the last statement seemed unlikely, from what Sil had heard it was quite common for Quinn to go unseen and suddenly disappear. But he didn't want to take any chances, until he had witnessed Dogthus grabbing his neck.

      He had hit his limit and was gasping for air badly. It was at that moment, pushing his MC cells and powers to the max, Sil made the ice pillar move as quickly as possible and charged it through the sea.

      The sea became clearer and easier to see now that the light from the sun could be seen. In the next second, the entire city crashed through the surface. It was a hard hit for the city as some of the grand structures had cracked and fallen in the process.

      At the same time, all of the Mermerials were wobbly on their feet for a few seconds. Some had even been chucked airborne and landed back down due to the speed they had risen at.

      The city was solid though, it didn't wobble on the surface of the water because there was a giant pillar of ice underneath it. However, after getting to the surface, Sil's job wasn't done. With his hands still stuck onto the floor, he used even more power to stretch out the surface of the ice, making it larger than the area of the city by a good kilometre or so. At the same time, he was making sure to freeze an amount of water that would be considerably thick and not break if an attack or two hit it.

      Finally, after all that, Sil was exhausted and fell on his back. It looked like on the journey here, most of his clones had perished. The good thing was they each knew if they were about to die and would open up the portal shoving their weapons back in before dying.

      As for why Sil had done his little ice platform at the end, it was due to him not wanting to rely on the pillar. He wanted to create his own island so if the beasts attacked the pillar from underneath, it wouldn't be a problem.

      "The rest is down to you guys now." Sil smiled.

      While lying down on his back, Sil noticed something strange. It was the colour of the sky. It was still quite bright but it looked almost as if the sky had turned somewhat orange and filled with dust as well.

      "What is going on?"

      The next second, in the distance, a large explosion had occurred beyond the sky. It looked like it was almost in space even.

      "Ah screw it, let me just rest a bit... and then I'll help the others out." Sil said.

      He wasn't the only one that noticed the strange colour in the sky and the explosions. The people looked up wondering what they were, but one person knew straight away.

      "The fleets are being destroyed, our forces. What is happening right now? Is this all your doing?" Yanny pointed at Wince.

      "I'm not sure. It might be, but you have bigger things to worry about!" Princess waved her trident and water started to gather around it. She then swiped it across the floor and a large wave hit Yanny taking him off his feet.

      Leaping from her position, she slammed the point of the trident at Yanny. Lifting up his hand, he tried stopping it. But the point went right through, piercing his skin.

      "Are you trying to get rid of the Mermerial race by bringing these outsiders in? If you get rid of everyone then how will we defend ourselves?" Yanny asked.

      "From what?" Princess replied, twisting the trident. Water jets shot out of the trident, hitting Yanny in the body. The force took his hand out of the end of the trident and sent him across the room.

      "Protect us from these imaginary threats? You're the biggest threat to our race!" Wince screamed.

      —— —— ——

      At the same time, there was another person that was happy that they were finally out of the water. Dogthus was on one knee gasping in the air.

      "This air... I have never felt so dependent on anything before." Dogthus said to himself, as he slowly stood up from the ground. Blood was still dripping all over his body from the wounds he had before.

      Seeing this, one of the predators, the Hammer-head who was close by, had decided to act thinking he was on his last legs.

      The fishman now had legs instead of a fin, but he still had great running speed. The speed was not as fast as he was in the water though. He swung his head first and the dalki reached out his hand, grabbing him.

      "Your attack is stronger. I can feel this energy in you." The Dalki said, as he coughed out blood. The strange power had gone through his body, but he didn't care because he knew it was only going to make him stronger. Now out of the water, he could use all the pent up damage.

      Using his laser eyes, it hit the Hammer-head directly. The laser burned the skin of the body slowly as there was some resistance until eventually there was no head left. Letting go, the predator fell to the floor.

      "Finally, the five spike Dalki is acting like a five spike." Sil said, still watching everything from his position. There were interesting fights all over and the clones that were still alive had come back to help him in his fight against the predators. It didn't take long for the clones to finish off the annoying predators once they were out of the water.

      "Everything is going well now we're out of the water. Maybe I won't have to get involved after all. Still, there is this God that I have to worry about as well."

      "Maybe, if I get the blue pearl or speak to Yanny, then we can talk to this God. I think Quinn would like that as well."

      A portion of Sil's MC points had recovered. It was a small amount, but he was wondering how much he would need to fight a celestial on his own because Quinn was nowhere to be seen.

      As he said that, a large shadow was cast over Sil's head. As he looked up, something fell from the sky. It wasn't just an object, it was one of the big ships in the fleet.

      "Look out, take cover!" The people shouted, as they all hid in their houses. Fortunately, the large ship looked like it was heading right for the square where all of the others were fighting.

      "Stop making my job harder!" Sil placed his hands on the ground making sure the ice was reinforced.

      The large ship crashed right in the square, chucking pieces and bits everywhere. For a second there were some cracks in the ice, but as quickly as they appeared, Sil was fixing them.

      After the initial crash, there was silence as everyone wondered what had just occurred. They could only see the spaceship.

      "Hey look, there's someone there!" A person pointed.

      Looking at the person standing on top of the ship. with his hair blowing in the wind, Sil smiled.

    Did he use it as a material for forging

      The hydra was turned into a weapon by the king.The hydra has the ability to turn into a weapon. Sil took the trident. All his weapons are victory trophies rather than forged. The king either fled or died by Sil's hands.

    Chapter—1835:
    Blue Pearl.

    At first, Wince thought the sudden turn of affairs was nothing but an illusion. In her hands was the trident, but it wasn't just any trident, rather the one that had belonged to her father, who had gone missing years ago.

    His disappearance was one of the reasons why the conflict between the two factions escalated to the degree that it led to today's events.

    Yet, she knew straight away that this trident was once her fathers. As a child, she had seen her father carry it many times, and she could feel the energy inside the weapon bonding with her.

    Right now, she didn't care why the human had her father's trident or how he had come across it. Instead, her whole attention was on what was in her hands and how she would use it to fight back.

    In the next instant, Wince lifted the trident and slammed it on the ground. A wave of incredibly strong currents with a slight blue glow began to spread out, and Yanny was knocked off his feet.

    Even she was surprised by the power when she felt her whole body being pressured from all sides. The pressure was actually coming from the trident itself, but she held on tightly for her life onto the trident until it finally settled down.

    Firmly putting her feet on the ground, Wince lifted the trident and started to spin the weapon. It was extremely light, and even in the water, she had no trouble using it. However, when she thrust it forward, she felt a burst of energy from the trident and three hydro pumps of water shot out from its tips.

    "I didn't even try to use my powers to activate this weapon, it just did that on its own with a simple thrust." Wince smiled.

    "Please, I hope you recognise me. I'm the daughter of your previous owner, and I need your help. I want to borrow your power, and I hope you grant this request of mine."

    Earlier, when she saw the weapon, there was one thing she was sure of though: her father was no longer.

    "Help me defeat the one that killed your last owner!" Wince pointed the trident out towards Yanny, who had just gotten up from the ground.

    Not too far away, Sil had overheard the princess, and once again, he felt like someone had stuck a knife in his heart.

    "I'm sorry, but he wasn't the one that killed your father. Please just use that weapon to get this over with." Sil thought.

    As for his own fight, Sil was doing quite well. He was learning how to use the water ability beyond what he would have before. Even after a thousand years, it seemed like there were things that he could learn to improve his combat prowess.

    "If I want to keep up with Quinn, then I'm going to have to keep putting myself in tough situations. He was asleep for a thousand years, and I only just got on his level." Sil thought.

    Thinking about Quinn, Sil had come up with a nice idea to deal with the Predators in front of him. There were still the two water blades in his hand, and when the enemies were coming toward him, he threw one of the blades out. Then, he controlled where the blade went using the water currents.

    Sil threw out another sword with his other hand, which chased after one of the other Predators.

    "As I thought, these guys are fast, but speed won't matter soon enough." Sil, in his hand, had created another water sword and threw it out. Then there was another and then one more. Sil was swiftly making and throwing more and more water blades, and the Predators realised they had to face more of these blades around them.

    "Haha, this is like a game now." Sil thought, controlling them, trying to catch his attackers. They were no longer trying to attack; instead, they were just running away.

    "How much power does this guy have... what is going on?!" one of the predators explained in terror.

    At the same time, some of the water blades veered off course and went close to the guards. Sil decided to move them off track and attack the guard instead, aiming to help the Sea beast that had been helping them out so far. Honestly, Sil felt a little bad, but the sea beast had attempted to kill them before all of this and was only helping because of another ability of Sil's.

    "Who would have thought that the Bree family's ability would have come in handy at a time like this?"

    Not too far from Sil, someone was still struggling, and it was Doguth. He had been hit several times, and although he felt more power, at the same time, he felt more vulnerable due to the lack of oxygen that was getting out of his body.

    "I can't keep focusing on all five of them. I should take them out one by one."

    After making the decision, he started focusing his eye on just one of the Predators swimming around him, and it was none other than Mokoon. He hadn't done much so far, which is why Doguth assumed him to be the weakest, and right now, just lowering the number of enemies he was facing was the best thing for him to do.

    Focusing his eyes, he fired lasers at the target and also started to move ahead. Mokoon, noticing this, had started to swim in the opposite direction, and the predators had all split up before coming at the Dalki like five torpedoes. However, not all of them were here.

    "Where's that Hammer-head?" Doguth frowned.

    Turning to his right, he suddenly noticed that the Hammerhead shark predator was ready, and instantly, he swung his head while holding the two arms of the Dalki to deliver a decisive blow on the latter's skull. Far stronger than before, there was a current following behind, giving him more power.

    Each predator had some control over the sea, influencing it to give more power in their strikes.

    "Why don't you just freeze." A voice said, and suddenly, the area around the hammer shark was frozen in seconds. The Hammerhead was unable even to see his own body being frozen.

    Then, coming out from the area was none other than Sil.

    "Well, you can do the honours of smashing him up." Sil said.

    "You... you have the power of ice?" Doguth replied in shock.

    Thinking that in the sea like this, it was certainly a dangerous ability to have, he wondered why he hadn't used it. On top of that, he wondered what had happened to his other opponents.

    Turning his head, the Dalki suddenly noticed Sil was still away from him, fighting against the other predators.

    "Wait... there are two of you?"

    "Let's just focus on what is in front of us, shall we? Besides, we're not doing any of this for us. All of this is for the princess." Sil replied as he got ready to help the Dalki.

    —— —— ——

    The fight between Yanny and the princess was on. She was confident with the trident held in her hand, and there was a boost in power. Quickly, she could swim in the sea above and began to spin the trident above her.

    Power was gathering in the weapon, and she swung it down towards Yanny. Seeing this, the octopus gathered four spikes of water in its hands and threw them out towards the weapon, but princess destroyed them in seconds.

    "That damn trident!" Yanny shouted as the lightning hit his arm. Sparks of energy collided, and a marking on his head started to glow.

    There was a reason why all the predators were far stronger compared to the others, and it was because of the gift and marking they had all received.

    With the marking on his forehead empowering him and his attacks, he went to punch Wince with all of his arms, but she was quickly able to move the trident, knocking his punches away one after another, and then she thrust it forward again.

    Yanny had jumped back, avoiding it from stabbing him, but was hit by the hydro blasts soon after, which pushed him back and through the sea.

    "I knew that trident was going to give me trouble! Why has it appeared now?!" Yanny shouted in frustration. This wasn't the first time he was dealing with the trident, and he was well aware of its prowess, which was why he was alarmed as soon as he saw the trident.

    "Forget it. If you're going to fight with help, then so am I."

    Opening his mouth wide, a strange large blue pearl had come out of it. The pearl itself was radiating with energy, and suddenly all of the predators in the area were reacting to the energy as well.

    "We who complete your wish, help us win this battle!" Yanny commanded, and the pearl started to light up.

    Sensing the energy, Sil knew what it was straight away.

    "It's celestial energy, but what is that item? Is it a celestial item or the God itself?" Sil thought.

    Suddenly, the currents in the deep sea started to move again, and looking around them, they could see several large shadow figures beginning to surround the entire city.

    "I guess it's time we get out of here." Sil thought.

      Chapter—1836:
      Changing the System.

      In the city that stayed above the water, it was even quieter than before. Quinn and Nog had been here for a while now and had seen countless people hurrying to leave the island, and eventually, the whole island had become a ghost town.

      The only ones that were left were relatively old finding it difficult to travel or seemed too senile to know that something big was going on in the first place, which was why the two of them had decided to relax by the beach for a bit.

      Quinn was lying down, just enjoying his peace and quiet for a while. There was no training involved, no strange mystic celestial stuff, or vampire problems to deal with. At the same time, Nog was by his side doing the same.

      "Aren't you a bit worried? Those guys were strong enough to attack the Cruise ship." Nog asked. "I mean, I know you're strong as well, but aren't you a little too relaxed?"

      Looking into the sky, Quinn could still see the large fleets and ships flying in the distance, in his head, he was trying to determine something.

      "I think I can do it," Quinn mumbled.

      "Sorry?" Nog replied, not hearing fully what he had said.

      "I'm not worried because Sil is there. Sil will be able to handle whatever comes his way, and if he needs help, I'm sure he can send some sort of signal for me." Quinn replied relaxingly.

      It was then that Nog stood up, and unlike Quinn, he had relaxed plenty of times before, and he was worried about the captain. Yes, the captain was strong, but to go up against a whole army, just with four people, sounded a little ridiculous.

      "Well, if you need me, then you can just send me a signal as well," Nog replied, walking towards a pier that was set out on the beach.

      There was no hydro station at this section, and instead, it looked like a small little boat activity had been set out. People could rent out boats. They would then use them to explore the vast sea and surface.

      Heading to the area, it didn't look like the staff had also left the island, so Nog decided to hop in. The boat was round, and it wasn't really a boat but looked more like a pod spaceship. However, it couldn't fly.

      When he pressed on the accelerator, like on a car, the boat started to move, and there was also a steering wheel to direct it. The little vehicle was faster than Nog had thought as it skidded across the water like a Jet Ski.

      "Whoa, now this is more like it!" Nog said with a huge grin on his face as the vehicle bumped up and down on the waves. For a second, Quinn had peeked at Nog but then leaned back to relax.

      "Just be careful that some giant sea monster doesn't come and kill you," Quinn muttered.

      He wouldn't really be surprised if the sea monster suddenly popped out, but then, he was also hoping that Nog could deal with it on his own.

      While exploring the sea, Nog was making a note of where he went and could see that the pod had a return home function. He assumed this was the shop, which meant he could explore as far out as he liked, and that's what he did.

      He soon came across a few more islands, but there looked to be no life on them at all. Still, it was nice for Nog to experience sea travel rather than space travel. After exploring for a while, he soon spotted something out in the sea.

      "What is that?" Nog slowed down the vehicle and went closer and closer to it. Opening up the glass roof of the pod, Nog took a closer look at the floating object.

      "It's a person! A fish woman!" Nog shouted, expecting someone to come and help, but quickly realised that he was the only one out in the middle of the sea. So, in the end, after tossing and turning, Nog decided to jump into the water.

      Pulling the body was a lot harder than he thought, but using his strength, he managed to place her on the outside of the boat and then getting himself up, he then pulled her up. Now back inside the vehicle, Nog was able to get a good look at her, and he couldn't believe it.

      —— —— ——

      "Quinn! Quinn, come here quick!" Nog was shouting as he parked up his boat and was holding a female in his hands.

      At first, Quinn thought that maybe there really was a sea monster to deal with, but as long as he wasn't in the water, he wouldn't have a problem with sea creatures if he ran into them.

      Nog quickly ran across the sand and placed the body right down in front of Quinn.

      "What do we do? I just found her floating in the sea like this." Nog said, panicked.

      "This is... Ceril, right? The Princess' sister?" Quinn replied. "Why was she in the middle of the ocean?"

      "I don't know, but she's not breathing, and since she floated to the top, doesn't that mean she's... dead?"

      Looking at her closely and pressing his hand on her body, Quinn couldn't feel a breath, and there was no heartbeat, but he could sense one thing, and that was life energy.

      "Maybe... I can do something." Quinn mumbled as he put both hands on her forehead.

      After sensing her Qi, Quinn started to move it toward her heart. He then controlled it, so it would start to pump itself. It didn't take long for the heart to resume beating, but that wasn't enough, Inside her, there was strange energy.

      "What is this around her head?" Quinn thought as he started to move his own Qi into her body, but not too much since he knew he was now a celestial; even his Qi could react with people in different ways, just hopefully, in this situation, it was positive.

      Either way, the worst that could happen to her was death; if he did nothing, she would die anyway. Eventually, though Quinn had found another Qi source in the brain, it was as if it was another living creature in the shape of something similar to a worm.

      "Let's get rid of you first." Quinn directed all the Qi straight to the parasite, and with his strong power, he destroyed it in an instant. However, even after destroying the abnormal Qi, it did next to nothing.

      "Is she going to be okay?" Nog asked.

      "For now, I'm keeping her energy alive, but something is stopping her other organs from working. It's as if her whole body is paralysed. She needs to heal." Quinn replied.

      In this situation, he felt that giving her heavenly energy would not do much, but perhaps he could do something else. In the past, if he faced a similar situation, he could always do something.

      Making a small cut on his hand, Quinn placed it over her mouth.

      "Let's find out if a fish vampire is a thing," Quinn wondered, letting his blood drip into her mouth while activating the blood ritual. It had been a long time since Quinn had done such a thing, and he had thought he might never have to do it again, but here he was doing it on another planet.

      Unlike the time before, when one would shake and move in pain from the transformation, there was no reaction, but that was most likely due to the state that she was in.

      "If this does work... will she still be addicted to blood? I guess that will be the case, and it may change the whole race ecosystem."

      "I will need to deal with that later. Maybe after this is over, I will have to bring her with me." Quinn thought.

      [Blood ritual has been completed]

      [You have successfully, for the first time, created a new Subclass]

      [Mervamp]

      "A new subclass?" Quinn wasn't expecting this, and it was then that he could see and hear that her organs were starting to come back to working condition. He had somehow managed to save her, but it would be a while until she recovered.

      Standing up, Quinn looked above.

      "The fact that she was in that condition and is up here might mean you're right. Something is going on. Why don't we try and get them to come up here?" Quinn stated.

      The blood that started to come out from the cut made on his hand had the red vampire aura with it. It started to change form and turned into a large spear made of blood, celestial energy and blood aura; on top of that, as always, Quinn would add his powers of Qi.

      "What are you planning on..." Before Nog could finish his sentence, Quinn ran, instantly crossing the beach within a mere second and threw the blood spear. It left his hand and went into the sky.

      Before Nog could understand what was happening, the large giant spaceship above exploded, colouring the sky in a slight orange and yellow colour.

      "I knew I could hit it!" Whispered Quinn.

    Chapter—1833:
    Six hours.

    The currents moving this deep in the ocean and in the city no less was a strange phenomenon to them all. It was something none of them had experienced before. It caused everyone to go silent as a tingling sensation was felt all over their bodies.

    "This feeling, it's a bad omen for us all." An old frail fish woman stated. Although many thought the old woman was one of those that constantly spouted tales of doom or gloom, many felt like she was right this time.

    "What is that?" Wince said as she leaned back and looked at the large dark figure that was moving through the ocean, coming closer and closer to their position. Eventually, it was close enough for the people to figure out what it was.

    "SEA MONSTER!" A member of the crowd shouted.

    The light reflected off the sea monster's body and now it could be seen in full view. It had a hard red outer shell with a large orange underbelly that was showing to the rest. On the belly itself, there were several large legs like a centipede.

    What made the beast look disgusting most of all though was the several large floating balls it had sticking out. There were around ten of them dangling on long thin parts, but they weren't just balls, but the eyeballs of the beast.

    Opening up, each one of them was around the size of a car, and they soon turned to look at all of the people below. Spreading out wide, the Mermieral race gulped. Although they were strong, most of them weren't fighters.

    That part belonged to the royal family and those that had been recruited into the predators as guards. A sea beast of this size and power was simply too much for them. Which was why panic had started.

    The Fish people had started to swim away from the large beast. They scurried through the water as fast as they could, but rather than leave the square completely, many decided to take cover in the shops, or behind large scale buildings, while looking at what was to occur.

    After all, leaving the city was not an option, as entering the sea to get out would mean running into even more of the sea beasts, but there was one option for them all, and that's when many began to run for the Hydro stations.

    "I'm sorry for involving you all, but these have to go, so no one can escape." A voice said.

    Wince taking a closer look at the beast, noticed that on top of one of the eyes, there was a human figure.

    "That's... that's the one that was with Quinn all the time. The one named Sil! So they made it!" A slight smile appeared on her face, but it also went away quite quickly as it is unlikely Quinn was here.

    She was sure his companions were strong but strong enough to get them out of this situation, she was unsure.

    "Wait a second, how is he even riding on top of a sea beast like that?"

    This was why the guards, the predators and Yanny himself were cautious about attacking the Sea beast having noticed the one on top of it.

    Just as Yanny was about to open his mouth to ask who this was, a large explosion was heard. Turning their heads they could see that the Hydro station had been completely destroyed.

    When the dust started to settle they could see that there was a large Lizard man now floating where the Hydro station once was.

    "I saw what he did, he punched the Hydro station and destroyed it in a single hit. What is that!" One of the people yelled and panicked.

    "Don't worry, there's another Hydro station on the other side." Another replied and turned around, only to see a red beam go straight over her head. The next second and the other Hydro station was destroyed and had crumbled, burnt to bits.

    The mechanism that was used for the tubes were ruined and the people could no longer escape. Because of this, the only thing they could do was hide in their homes and behind structures as they watched what was going on.

    "I'm guessing, you are the help that Wince talked about?" Yanny stated.

    "Let me ask you if there is anything I can suggest to you so that you don't interfere?"

    Sil was quite surprised by this, and had ordered the sea beast to drop him down slightly moving one of the large Eyeballs closer to the others, so they were at the same level yet still far away.

    All the guards had their pistols ready and they quickly got ready and aimed at Sil.

    "Ah, so you were the guys that tried to attack us last time I see." Sil replied. "Unfortunately, there is nothing that you can give me because you see, I have a debt that I need to pay back."

    Putting both hands to his side, Sil had created two balls of water that were constantly hitting against each other, and before the others could react he threw them out towards Yanny.

    Both of them had expanded in size, creating two large balls of water, but around them, there were several slashes going through it. The water was pressurised and controlled in such a way that it would slice through anything it would touch. If a person was to touch the large ball a constant strike would hit their body.

    When the ball got close to Yanny, he simply touched the balls and the slashes had stopped, the balls got smaller, and crushing them in his hand they had turned to nothing.

    "You have a lot of power over the sea I see. No wonder you are confident. It's a shame for you, that it's the same for me." Yanny stated, clicking one of his fingers.

    In that moment, all of the guards fired their guns and began to hit the large beast. At the same time, controlling the water, Sil was able to block the lasers from hitting him, and leapt up off the beast so he was now on the floor.

    The beast was enraged and began to run through the guards swinging its large eyeballs towards them knocking them out, and soon swimming and landing right next to Sil, there was the Dalki.

    "Predators!" Yanny shouted, and out of the lot of them 10 fierce looking fish men had come out on display. They looked like they were fighting humanoid demon tier beasts in front of them, and Sil felt the same way if they were all as strong as Yanny.

    "Take them out!," Yanny order.

    The predators immediately started to swim toward the two, adn Sil knew this was going to be trouble.

    "With my abilities, I have to switch every once in a while so I can breathe, and If I don't use the water ability my movements are slow."

    "This really is a pain in the arse fighting underwater, I need to figure out some way we can get to the surface." Sil thought.

    It was annoying him that all of these would be easy to deal with if they were just outside, Although he had a large amount of MC cells to use his water ability on, it didn't mean he was the best at using it.

    Throwing out his hands, two large slashes of water came out of them. This attack was faster than the Clash balls as Sil had called them. Still, in the water, they were able to easily avoid them, and the next second he could see a type of shark man come towards him with his mouth wide open.

    "Switch to strength."

    Sil thought in that second and grabbed the mouth of the Shark. Its jaws were incredibly powerful, so Sil was glad he had decided to use his strength ability at the same time.

    The next second, he slammed the shark man onto the floor, but another crocodile man had bitten the back of his leg, his teeth sinking through his skin and armour. Switching back to his water ability, Sil shot out a vortex of water, hitting the crocodile man right on the head, and spinning him, sending him away.

    "Alright, you damn lizard!" Sil said.

    "I'm going to need you to at least take on five of these guys, so I can deal with the rest."

    "I have bad news." The Dalki said, shooting out his Lazer at the others trying to keep them at a distance. "I can only fight for around thirty more minutes before I need to breathe."

      Chapter—1834:
      Belongs to you.

      A distinctive memory had appeared in Sil's head when he heard the Dogthus speak, about claiming he could breathe underwater for at least six hours. The reason why he remembered, was because it sounded as if the Dalki was bragging to everyone about how much better he was compared to the others.

      At least, that was how it sounded in Sil's head. Regardless, even though they had been in the water for a long time, they hadn't been in for six hours.

      "Is it because of all the fighting he did before, or was he just trying to sound impressive? Either way, fighting ten of these guys on my own is going to be troublesome." Sil thought.

      As he made what looked like a blade out of the water. It was condensed and constantly moving like waves. Swinging it, Sil had managed to deflect a few stingers that had been shot out with the sword and used his other hand to send out three Hydro cannon shots at the others. It had missed two of them but hit the third one in the chest, sending him back and blood to spill in the water.

      "This one is powerful, we have to be careful!" A member of the predators shouted.

      Sil then raised his new water sword he had created above his head, and it began to grow larger by the second. When swinging it down, it looked to be still growing larger but was able to rip apart, part of the sea moving it away and creating pockets of air.

      At that moment, Sil's blade had gone right through one of the predators, one that looked like a sting ray that was constantly sending attacks from the back. Its body split apart, and its blood had entered the sea.

      The others didn't need to turn around to know he was dead, they could smell their fellow teammate's blood in the water.

      "It's okay." Sil stated. "It just means we're on a bit of a time scale right now."

      Unlike Sil, who was faring quite well despite the fact he could only mostly use the water ability.

      Dogthus was struggling. His movements were slow and in order to avoid his red eye Lazers that seemed to be the only thing that was fast when attacking, the five predators that had gone towards him were constantly swimming around him.

      He fired Lazers from his eyes, but they would hit nothing but the water, or some part of the city buildings off in the distance.

      Eventually breaking out of the formation, one of the predators swam towards him at a great speed and when getting close, it lifted its head forward and slammed it down right on top of the Dalki.

      Dogthus was able to react in time lifting both his hands but the blow was incredibly strong, as he saw that this type of fish man looked to have a head of a hammer.

      The thing was, its hammer-like head wasn't the only weapon it had, as it swung both of its arms right towards the side of its body. The second it hit the Dalki it had heard parts of its rib's breaking.

      Out of anger, more of the Dalki's Lazer powered eves were shot towards the Hammer head, but he had already escaped and the five of them had begun their formation once again, swirling around the Dalki.

      "I can't breathe well, and that guy just whacked a load of oxygen out of my body. Even if I get stronger the more blood is split, I might not survive if this fight goes on."

      "We need to find a way to the surface. Doesn't that humans have any good ideas." Dogthus thought, and also looked towards their sea creature friend.

      Somehow, Sil was able to control the giant Sea creature, after defeating its allies it looked like one of the sea creatures was quite compliant in listening to the human. Using the Sea beast was how they were able to swim to hear the capital city. While going through the vast ocean without getting attacked.

      So the Dalki thought that they could use it again to head to the surface, otherwise, there would be too many beasts for them to face on their way up. However, it didn't look like a viable option right now, and possibly never.

      An endless amount of lazers were being shot from the army and guards towards the sea beast. It was in pain with some of its eyes already destroyed and pierced. There were several wounds on its body and blood was pouring out of them

      Still, out of anger, the sea beast seemed to be continuing to put up a good fight, already defeating a quarter of the guards that were at the scene, How long it would last though, it was hard to say.

      Meanwhile, the princess was watching everything play out, and although the two were struggling she was surprised with how the two of them were faring. Especially since the one that looked like Quinn, another human had killed one of the predators.

      "What's wrong?" Wince asked seeing the look on Yanny's face. She could tell this wasn't how he expected the fight to go on.

      "Is this not what you expected? Your powerful Predator race being killed just like you did to my sister!?"

      Yanny turned his head to Wince and walked over to her, with his hands he brushed the guards away, and grabbed her himself. The rings on his body didn't light up, so whatever he had done to her sister he wasn;t planning to do to her.

      "I don't know what you did to get people like that on your side, but that's not important, what is important is I have you."

      "So why don't the two of us pay a trip to the Royal vault? Maybe there's something in there that can deal with them." Yanny smiled.

      Moving her away with his great strength, Wince tried to resist. She began to kick and scream, hitting every part of Yanny's body as hard as she could but it was doing nothing. Using her hands, she had even controlled the power of the water and created a strong slash right across Yanny's back but it still had done nothing.

      "LET GO OF ME!" Wince screamed. "LET GO OF ME. I would rather die, than let you have what you want. You... you.. you..." No matter how hard she tried it was useless.

      Everyone who was hiding from the battle was watching the poor princess struggle with all her might, but not a single one of them wanted to risk their own lives, stepping up to help her. Instead, they just whispered their prayers for someone to keep her safe.

      "Father... I wish you were here." Wince cried out.

      Her final cries had managed to reach one person, a person who was desperately fighting. The shark fish had swam straight towards him again, and rather than using the strength ability as he did before, Sil placed his hand up and grabbed its face.

      He used the Qi inside his body to try and make up for the strength, but it wasn't enough and wouldn't hold out for long. His body was being dragged across the surface of the water floor but something strange was happening.

      The shark man could soon feel intense pain, as the skin on his whole face was burning. Eventually, he could see boils appearing before they popped exploding right in his face. The shark man swam away in pain shaking its entire head in the water left and right, while the water was bubbling around Sil's hand.

      "I can still use other abilities while down here, I just can't move so easily without the water one" Sil thought as he opened his book changing his abilities again. The next moment, he opened a portal, and pulled out a weapon, throwing it directly towards Wince.

      It travelled through the water as Sil controlled it, and made it so it landed in her hand. The crying had stopped from Wince's eyes as she felt a great power, looking at the trident that had appeared in her hand.

      "That belongs to you, so use it to get your planet back." Sil smiled.

    Chapter—1831:
    The crowning. (Part 1)

    Both women had no problem entering the capital city of the Memorial race.

    Usually, they would have had trouble entering the Hydro station and the city, trying to avoid the gaze of the guards and more, but thankfully it seemed at least luck was on their side for now.

    Thousands of people had come to the city today to celebrate the crowning of the New King, Yanny. They were unaware of this when they first arrived at the scene, but while using the large crowd to their advantage to get out of the lax security in the Hydro station, they overheard people excitedly talk about the event.

    Once in the city, both girls decided to take a break as they swam between two buildings and looked at everyone swimming past.

    "What's wrong?" Ceril asked as she slowly floated to her sister. Tears were running down her face. Lately, she had seen her sister cry more often, but at least she knew what the trigger was before. At the moment, she didn't know what had brought this on.

    "These people, don't they care what is happening to our family?" Wince replied.

    "We served them for years, trying our best to make them have a better life, protecting them and sacrificing our lives for them."

    "The Royal army has been captured, including the families, yet these people are doing nothing. Instead, they're just heading to the city square to celebrate the person responsible for this. Don't they care about our lives, how long we were on the run for!"

    Since they were underwater, her tears were hard to notice, but Wince's eyes had turned bloodshot, and her tears were large and light, causing them to flow up like air bubbles.

    "You followed in your father's footsteps for a long time. You should know that people are selfish. They won't revolt because it will affect their lives, and what happens between the two groups is not their business."

    "You shouldn't take this to heart. This is just how the nature of people is. People are selfish" Ceril tried to calm her down.

    Although they were sisters, Ceril was never a contender for the throne. So she never felt any tremendous pressure, nor did she really feel like she had lost anything when the Predators took over, which was why she could relate to the people a bit more than Wince could.

    Wiping away her tears and rubbing her sore eyes, Wince regained her composure and firmed her will because she knew she couldn't afford to give up. She had to be strong for the people who relied on her, those who had worked in the palace and looked after her, and those who were captured for sticking up with her family.

    Wince took a deep breath and quickly swam into the crowd of people, with Ceril following right behind, and now, the two were back on the street. It was obvious where they were going: to the main square. It was the city centre that would surely be filled with busy shops, restaurants, and stages throughout the whole area.

    There was a large fountain in the middle that spouted out a mystic pink light, and in front of it was a statue of her father made out of pure pearl.

    Today though, the place didn't look like how it used to be. It was much different. There was a giant stage that had been made. It looked like a fairly large pirate ship. With another ship on top of that and another one on top. It was tiered and used to be the Predator's base.

    In the past, they weren't welcome to step foot in such a place, so they would sail on the surface of the open sea. It was a strange and hard sight for Mercil to see.

    "What's the plan?" Ceril whispered.

    Both were towards the back of the crowd, letting others go in front.

    "We wait for the crowning ceremony to begin. I imagine all the Generals will be here to witness it, including Yanny. That will be the perfect time to head to the Vault and open it up."

    "Then we just need to hurry and get out of here as fast as we can."

    They waited a good twenty minutes, and now the entire place was completely packed, shoulder to shoulder, and finally, a horn was played, resounding throughout the whole city.

    "Everyone, please cheer for the one and only Yanny Bling!" A huge whale-like creature announced.

    The crowd did as he said and cheered and waved their arms, and of course, Wince didn't, in protest to the whole thing. She had to remind herself of Ceril's words from before because right now, she felt like she was standing with a bunch of hypocrites.

    As the crowd calmed down, a fairly large figure stepped out from a door and walked onto the ship's deck. He was muscular and had a yellowish skin colour. He had three arms on each side and two legs, all containing several round suckers on them. Then finally, there was a strange pattern all over Yanny's body which looked like blue rings.

    Several blue rings could be seen on his skin, which made him stand out compared to the others by his side who soon joined him. There were those that looked similar to sharks, crocodiles, killer whales, swordfish, and more, but as for the most frightening one of them all, Yanny, he resembled that of an octopus on earth.

    "I knew this day would come." Were Yanny's first words as he raised two of his arms.

    "The day when the people would accept the Predators. Under the old rule, it was only a matter of time before our own politics would have crushed us."

    "Making sure to accommodate every single person, making up for others weakness, trying to make them equal, and punishing those that are great and do the most for our race."

    "The Supreme Being told me that there are threats that we need to worry about, so in order to protect everyone."

    "I decided to act and replace the regime that behaved ignorantly and sowed a false sense... a world that hid the real truth."

    "But now, the times have changed, and this day marks a new beginning!"

    "Together, we will only focus on improving and making ourselves the best of the best, to make our lives and our race the best there is, not just in the galaxy but the whole universe!"

    There were some loud cheers from the crowd from those that truly believed in what Yanny was saying. While others were being swept up in the moment by this charisma, but then, there were also a few who saw through this and were a bit more cautious.

    "Does this mean we will be going to war?"

    "There hasn't been a war in hundreds of years. So what threat is he talking about? Why do we have to act now."

    "Weren't things okay before?"

    Her eyes lit up hearing these words for the first time.

    "There are those... that appreciate what we did. They might not openly say it, but their actions just now prove it. Father... you didn't waste your time."

    While thinking of this, Wince looked at the statue of her great and old father with the trident in his hands. It gave her strength until she heard a slashing sound, and the next second, her father's head fell from the statue and rolled to the floor.

    "The old rule is no more!" Yanny shouted. "The Crowning Ceremony shall now commence."

    Several explosions from the building were heard nearby, shooting sparkles into the centre. It looked like a lot of preparation had been done for the whole event, and today would be quite the party for them all.

    Wince felt someone was looking over them because of all the days they could have come back, today was the perfect day for them to act.

    "Alright, let's get going." Wince said as she turned around, ready to swim off and head around the centre's route to enter the palace. She had only swam a few metres before she heard a loud shout.

    "PRINCESS WINCE IS HERE! I REPEAT, PRINCESS WINCE IS HERE!" Someone shouted these words at the top of their lungs. Immediately, the people cleared the area around Wince, and everyone could see them.

    "Oh, what's this?" Yanny said with a smile on his face. "The princess has returned home and has come right back to me. What a surprise, what a surprise indeed."

    Now that she had been spotted, Wince couldn't escape. She knew this, but even more so, she was heartbroken looking at the person who had shouted and alerted everyone.

    "Ceril... why?" Wince could barely say anything as the rest of the words got stuck in her throat.

    Thinking about it, she recalled when the tubes sent the other two to a different place, and now, it didn't seem like an accident anymore.

      Chapter—1832:
      The Crowning. (Part 2)

      The crowd around Wince began to back off, and within a few moments, there was no one within the ten-metre radius of the Princess. The look on the people's faces had also undergone one eighty degree change, and many of them seemed displeased.

      "Why did she come back?"

      "This silly girl, she should have just used the chance to run away. We all know what will happen to her now."

      There was no slander against the Princess's name, just concern, and pity from the general public. For them, either way, both groups wished to improve their race. They just had their own ideals and way of working.

      However, the general populace held no negative stigma for either faction, and they knew that in all of this, the Princess was innocent. She got involved in this simply because she had blood ties to the previous leader.

      Meanwhile, Wince had ignored the looks of pity and stood on her spot in shock. She wanted to understand why her own sister, who had been through the same things as her, betrayed her all of a sudden.

      "Ceril! I know we don't come from the same mother, but they will kill both of us. Why have you done this?!" Wince shouted, not caring if the others heard.

      Ceril took a step back and began to move away slightly. Heading to where the crowd was.

      "You remember what I said before... everyone is selfish. Everyone does things for themselves. Giving you up means that I can live." Ceril replied. Her voice carried no emotions, and her face looked as if she was talking to a corpse.

      Now, Wince understood, at some point during their trip, or maybe even when they had travelled, Ceril must have made a deal with the Predators to spare her in exchange for her sister's life.

      "It means I can live a happy life with my family," Ceril added at last, and a smile appeared on her face.

      Just then, coming out of the crowd behind her was someone who one of the crowd knew well. He was one of the top members of the Predator gang and was always by Yanny's side. The name of this Predator was Mokoon. His stature was tall, and now he stood with strange curled-up arms resembling a worm's body.

      He placed his hand on Ceril's shoulder and, leaning over her, gave her a huge kiss, sticking his tongue down her throat in front of everyone. When he pulled his mouth back, saliva could be seen sticking to the two tongues.

      "You... you did this to her! You damn parasite!" Wince shouted. "I know how your powers work. Get that bug out of her head now!"

      Mokoon was a special fish and part of the Meremerial race. He was incredibly dangerous as he could place parasites inside others' heads. And whoever had a parasite inside them would naturally be charmed towards the host-doing his bidding for them.

      Hearing Wince's cry, Mokoon's shoulders trembled up and down as he started to laugh out loud.

      "You seem to know my power well, but you should also know how I would need to transfer said parasite into another. I assure you the feelings were mutual at the time. I just needed to have reassurance."

      Judging from what the parasite was saying, the two were in a relationship before everything transpired.

      Wince didn't know whether to believe it or if it was just to throw her off. Either way, it had worked, and now Wince didn't know who she had on her side anymore.

      "Capture her, but don't use the guns. We need her alive." Mokoon ordered the guards.

      Immediately, out from the crowd, eight guards in the same get-up as the attackers on the Marpo-Cruise came out. They had their energy swords in their hands, producing steam since they were using them underwater.

      One of the guards ran forward and swung down quickly as if they weren't even in water in the first place. Still, the Princess wasn't powerless, and she promptly avoided the sword and grabbed the man by the wrist.

      She then spun him towards the others and sent him crashing into the other guards. At the same time, she now had one of the energy blades in her hand. Swinging it faster than the others, she deflected the attacks coming her way and slashed across the chest of one of them.

      Next, she swam forward fast with her tail and threw her hand out, making a whirlpool of water. It smashed against one of the guard's chest and sent him throwing the water.

      The guards were not faring well against the Princess.

      "It won't be easy to take me. I trained with my father every day. The Strongest Meremerial to ever live!"

      The guards slowly got up from the ground, and more started to enter the open area. It was then though, landing on his large two feet, that someone jumped into the centre-one with a large fin on his back and a sharp pointy nose.

      Seeing this, Wince wasn't as confident anymore. It was another one of the Predators. When he swung his hands, Wince went to counter it with the blade, but the shark man just opened his palm and quickly grabbed it.

      In the next second, the whole energy of the blade had extinguished right there, and now Wince suddenly had no weapon.

      "It would be best if you gave up." A familiar voice spoke, walking through the crowd, it was now Yanny's turn to enter the stage.

      "We will not kill you. After all, we need you, but I promise that if you put up without a fight, we will allow you... no, let's say allow you to live a life." Yanny smiled.

      "All of my trusted Predators are by my side, and although you are strong, not a single one of them can be bested by you."

      Princess tried to look at the situation around her, the people, her sister on the other side, but there was no one on her side, no one to help, and even her father's head, although it was just a statue.

      "Please, Princess, just give up. We don't want to see your blood." She heard a voice from the crowd.

      "Life is the most important thing, don't give it up for us.

      For some reason, hearing these words had drained the energy out of her, and she no longer had the will to fight back. She knew it was hopeless if she did.

      "You made the right choice." Yanny clicked his fingers, and immediately, he placed a pair of energy cuffs on her from behind and a large shackle around her tail as well. Then, two guards walked up and held her by her hands.

      After dealing with her, Yanny walked over to Ceril.

      "You have done well, but we only need one bloodline to continue." Yanny placed one of his hands on Ceril's head, and the blue rings all over his body started to glow.

      "NOOO!" Wince shouted. "What are you doing? I gave up, and you made a deal with her! She did everything you said!"

      Suddenly, Ceril's eyes stopped moving. Her whole body froze like a statue as she fell over onto her side, hitting the surface. A few seconds later, her body started to float higher and higher, heading to the surface of the deep ocean.

      "You murderer! You scum! Liar! You deserve a thousand deaths!" Wince continued to shout until she started feeling pain in her throat.

      "Perhaps you are right," Yanny replied. "But with your father gone, who can stop me?"

      Yanny then started to walk away, planning to continue his celebration. After all, everything was dealt with, and he now had what he wanted until he suddenly heard laughter from behind.

      "Ha, ha, ha!" Wince laughed with her head tilted back. Her hair had become dishevelled and was in front of her face. Her eyes were bulging as if she had turned into a mad woman.

      "Yanny, you are wrong... I have seen people stronger than my father, stronger than you... and I have brought them here! So let me ask you, do you think you are stronger than a god?"

      "A god?" Yanny replied, raising his eyebrow.

      "Did you forget whose support we have? You have gone mad. If you really have a god, then why isn't he here? Where is he?"

      Just as he finished his words, everyone in the city square felt the ocean's currents moving.

    Chapter—1827:
    Hydro Station.

    Sil's ship was heading to what looked like a relatively small island. The landmasses on this planet were mostly of island sizes, but this was one of the few with a city built on it.

    The city was quite normal and similar to those on earth. It was filled with large skyscrapers, towers, streets and more. Only the architecture and colours differed from the cities on Earth. Most buildings seemed to be made of a light blue material, almost jade-looking while they would also have hints of green and yellow.

    Several round giant pearls were also used on certain parts of the building to join them together, or on the outside for decoration. It was hard to get used to, but it always was when they travelled to a new planet.

    The most luxurious things were the long large white sandy beaches. There were several fishmen.on them, enjoying food, drinks, and more. There were huts for people to live in with large legs for bases that stood in the sea and a giant oval floating object in the water.

    "What's that?" Nog asked.

    "It's a hydro station." Wince replied. "They have giant tubes that send people through the water to travel between the different cities, including the capital centre."

    "So there are two options for us. We can either try and sneak in and take the Hydro station, although I believe we would most likely get caught. Or we can choose to just swim through the sea."

    Even though Quinn was no longer travelling with the others through the sea, he shuddered at the thought of having to do something like that. "The sea?!" Ceril looked panicked. "You can't go through the sea. You might not survive. Just take the Hydro station. I'm sure we can figure out a way."

    "What's so bad about the sea?" Sil had to ask since it looked like the better option in his head. At least for a task like this one.

    The sea is dangerous, even for us. Wince explained. "Because there are dangerous Sea beasts that travel in the water."

    "They don't attack the cities or the groups of Mermerials because they know that they can get hurt if they do so, but a small group like ours, we would be sitting ducks."

    There was another reason Sil wanted to enter the water. He wanted to know how effective his powers would be, flames, lighting, wind, etc. Perhaps the only ability and the best ability to use in the water would be water, but how effective that would be against the fishmen was unknown. However, there was still one trump card that would definitely work well underwater.

    "I can't use that. If I use that, it will cause all sorts of problems." Sil scrapped the idea instantly.

    The ship soon landed on the part of the beach that looked to be the least crowded. There were plenty of trees near the beaches, so there were enough spots for them to hide the ship. The only problem was they couldn't avoid making noise if the ship bashed and landed through the trees.

    Even though it wouldn't be a loud one, anyone nearby could notice such a thing, so they decided to land it at the top of the trees, allowing it to hold the ship up.

    "The ship has a camouflage option, but it will no longer be invisible."

    "It can fool some people, but if someone looks at it from above, it might only be a matter of time until they find this, so we need to move fast."

    All of them jumped down from the ship and stepped on the ground. It was time for the group to head separate ways.

    "There's no need for you two to wear disguises when you enter the city. We have plenty of ones that look similar to you." Wince explained. "Just don't catch the attention of the others, not until we have the equipment we need."

    Nodding, Quinn and Nog headed towards the city while the others ran towards the Hydro station.

    Walking through the jungle, Ceril and Wince picked up a few colourful fruits, squeezed them, extracted some juice, and then rubbed the strange juice all over their face as if they were painting on it.

    "Is that your disguise?" Sil asked. He could still separate them apart, not to mention the lines on their faces weren't really helping them in this disguise.

    "Not many know the face of the Princess and her sister." Wince replie.

    "Our father was the leader who was killed before we even got any chance of limelight or to be revealed to the world. These disguises are good enough."

    "They won't recognize us at a glance here or there, and besides, the Hydro station is automatic. The only problem will be getting a ticket, but the rest is done by itself."

    Walking on the beach, they noticed that quite a lot of people seemed to be leaving the city and heading towards the station for some reason. A large wooden walkway that reached the station was crowded, and others who looked in a rush decided to travel by water.

    What was fascinating was that as soon as the human-like figures touched the water, their bodies transformed into different types of fish, allowing them to swim quickly toward the station.

    "I wonder what these two girls would transform into when they touch the water?" Sil thought, but they would see that soon.

    The large crowd and the busy station were to their advantage. The guards stood still and seemed to allow everyone to walk in. The group of four kept their heads down as they walked through, and finally, they were inside the station.

    It was far more spectacular than Sil had imagined. Right now, they were walking through a large glass that allowed them to see the sea. Numerous fish were swimming around in the water, and it all looked beautiful.

    Until, for a brief second, Sil saw a large tentacle snatch one of the bigger fish and pull it into the deeper and darker water. Whoever that tentacle belonged to, one could not see its dark body.

    "I think Quinn was right about the sea." Sil gulped.

    Trying to ignore what he had just seen, he looked at the large plastic-like tubes travelling in the sea. In front of them, there were about ten of these pods that the people would step into.

    Then, a sound would go off, shooting through the pod. Finally, the passenger would be sent through the plastic tubes deep into the water to the location stated.

    "You guys wait here," Ceril said. "I'll go get us all tickets."

    Wince's face looked like she was ready to stop her, but Ceril shook her head.

    "If they catch you, it's all over. Remember, you're the princess, not me. I won't be recognized, and once t get the tickets, we can all queue up and head to city."

    Ceril had already run off before Wince could respond. So they waited for a while, but Wince was nervous as she bit her fingernail and walked around in circles.

    "Yes... make us look even more suspicious," Doguth commented.

    After a few minutes, Ceril returned, and she had a smile on her face.

    "Come on, let's get moving quickly!" She said as she handed each person their ticket. They then all picked a line and lined up.

    The queue was moving quite quickly, and Sil could see what one needed to do. First, scan the ticket before entering the tube, and the door would open, then stand inside to be blasted off. It was simple.

    Sil and the Dalki, at times, would move back a little to adjust their position, allowing the Fishman behind them to go before them because they wanted to go in at the same time as the girls.

    If they went in before them and there could be a problem they would need to deal with it. In the end, after exchanging places with others a few times, all four reached their respective tubes simultaneously. They scanned the tickets and stepped inside.

    There was a bit of excitement in Sil, and he felt as if he was going to be going on a theme park ride. The next second and the arm buzzer sound went off. It blasted all four of them down the tube and into the sea.

    They were travelling at the same speed, and when they looked to their right and left, they could see each other. Now, Sil was where he had seen the fish from earlier. As they got deeper into the sea, Sil noticed several different creatures.

    It was amazing, as there were several light sources that floated about in the sea, allowing them to see.

    Then Sil noticed that up ahead, the tubes breached off into several directions, and this was because they could travel to several other cities and directions from one Hydro station. This made sense until Sil and Doguth were sent down another tube and taken to the right. Then, the two girls pods deviated and sent them to the left.

    "Wait, this doesn't look right! We're going to completely different places!" Sil was alarmed.

    They turned towards Wince and saw her scream a few words towards them, and her face showed similar shock and panic. But they could not hear her and, within a few seconds, the two pairs were separated and heading into two different directions.

      As they went through the tube, the two sisters felt tremendous g force on their bodies. It was hard for them to move, if not at all. They thought of trying to break out of the tube to get to the other two, but Wince instantly scrapped the idea after thinking for a while.

      Breaking the tube wasn't an option. Even if they somehow managed to destroy the building, they would have brought a lot of unnecessary attention to themselves for destroying the Hydro System, not to mention they would be in the middle of the deep ocean alone. All in all, destroying the tubes wasn't worth the risk.

      "I'm sorry, guys... you came here to help me, and now I don't know what is going to happen." Wince clenched her fist, and finally, the siblings were chucked out of their tubes into the deep ocean.

      Instantly, they felt something strange ensue as soon as their body crashed into the water. Their legs started to merge and grow as they stuck together, then their scales on their body grew and covered their whole face, and at last, a fish tail protruded from where their feet were.

      For Ceril, the scales on the bottom half of her body were a glittering blue, while her sister Wince's scales were shining in bright pink. The two of them had transformed into what most people on Earth called the mystical creature, a mermaid.

      In front of them, there was a large city of some sort, and its familiarity confirmed that they had reached the right destination. This city was called Mercil, the capital of the Meremerial race. Just like the city from earlier, there were several skyscrapers here as well. Only these were more like a palace, with giant swirls all around them, making them appear grand and added a majestic aura to them.

      There was also an elegant shine to the whole city, and at the end was the royal palace, which even in the deep sea, shone with bright glittering colour all around and illuminated everything. The two can see everything clearly even though they were still far from the place as they were chucked into the deep ocean by the Hydro Tube.

      This was the same for the others that had come out from the tube, only they were already swimming towards the Hydro station, which was at the city's base and was around five times bigger than the one they had departed from.

      At the same time, they also noticed several tubes, like the one they had used, coming from different directions, and more people were being shot out of them and just like the others, they swam towards the station.

      "What is with all of these people? Something is definitely going on." Wince wondered, and this thought made her feel even more anxious than before. Although the city was a popular destination, this was completely different. Everyone was running to it as if their life depended on it.

      Doing a quick turn in the water, Wince looked towards her sister, who was clenching her hands in nervousness.

      "What happened, Ceril? Where are the other two now? Why aren't they with us?! Did you not know the tubes would send them in a different direction?" Wince asked.

      "I didn't know, I didn't know!" Ceril replied.

      "When I bought the tickets at the counter, they didn't ask any questions or anything. So it looked like no one noticed anything, and I bought the same tickets for all of us. I'm sorry."

      Ceril burst into tears, thinking it was her fault, and her sister seeing this, couldn't shout or blame her anymore. Swimming through the water, she went to her sister's side and pulled her into a hug to calm her down.

      "It's okay, Ceril. These are tough times, we have a lot on our minds, and in the first place, this is something the two of us need to do."

      "Maybe they've been watching us from the beginning and wanted us on our own? We need to be careful from now on," Wince said.

      "But we can't distract ourselves. We need to continue on our task. We have to enter the city and somehow get to the Royal Vault."

      "It's up to us now, and we must do our part so the others can help us." Wince started to swim off, and Ceril was not too far away.

      —— —— ——

      Quinn and Nog walked through the dense jungle and now had entered the city. There were large open, wide streets that allowed them to explore the city easily. The only thing was, the two of them noticed something very strange.

      "Hey, don't you think this place is a bit empty?" Nog asked.

      "Compared to the beach and everything, it looks like everyone was heading to the station. Are they running away or hiding?"

      Hearing this, Quinn nodded. He had noticed this as well. It was more like the place was deserted than anything. In the end, Quinn spotted an old man in a shopping stall. The latter had barbecued small fish and shrimp.

      "Does this count as cannibalism? I guess even fish eat fish on Earth, so it would make sense." Quinn said.

      The old man had a large fin on his back, webbed hands, and wrinkles all over.

      "Why is the city so empty?" Quinn asked.

      "Empty? Are there no people here?" The old man replied as he turned his head left and right.

      "You're right. No one is here. Hmm... I do remember some customers talking about a royal ceremony. Was that today? I can't remember. Would you like some fish?"

      The old man was jumping from subject to subject. but Quinn had gotten enough information he needed from the man.

      "A Royal ceremony? Is that why everyone is in such a rush? Is everyone going to the Capital City?"

      "Maybe it's to crown this Yanny guy? Anyway, we shouldn't worry about them so much, right? Your captain is a strong guy?"

      "Yeah," Nog replied. "As long as your friend is as strong as you say he is, the two should be okay against any trouble they come across."

      Although Quinn agreed, he started to look around the place. Maybe there was something that the two of them might need to do to perhaps attract some attention, so the others had an easier time.

      "Well, I don't want to get in the water, but maybe there is another way, another large force that would be sure to get their attention." Saying these words, Quinn looked into the distant sky, where the large ships and fleet of ships could be seen. It was a backup plan, but the question was now, how long would Quinn wait until he decided he would need to act himself?

      —— —— ——

      At this moment, a human and a Dalki were moving through the tubes at a fast rate. It had been a while since their tubes got separated from the two girls.

      Unlike the girls though, both the Dalki and Sil were confident that they could break out of the tube. The only thing was if they did, where would they end up? And where would they have to go?

      They had no clue where and how long to swim in the vast ocean to find the city. In the end, it was better to at least let the tube take them to some place, wherever it was, and plan from there. There should be another Hydro station they could access from that location.

      Out for the bottom end of the tube, the two of them crashed into the water. There was no change in their bodies, but Sil immediately started using the Water ability around him to ease his movements and breathe underwater.

      "Hey, I can move easier than I thought. Controlling the water in the sea makes my movements slower than on land, but it's not too bad. Maybe as I get used to the speed, it will be alright." Sil thought.

      He turned around to look at how Doguth was doing, and the latter looked fine as well. Using his large tail, the Dalki swam through the water relatively easily. Now that they had regained their composure, the question was, just where were they?

      They stared at the front, and the sight was not like they had expected. There was no city, or at least not one they were expecting. Instead, there were underwater ruins of what once was a city, and it was now covered with strange green moss all over the place and more.

      And, there wasn't a single structure in sight that looked to be well, someone or something had destroyed everything, and the ruins looked to stretch to miles.

      "What is this place? Why would they even have something like this?" Sil said.

      Just then, shutting out from one of the tubes behind them, a fish person had turned into what looked like a sick turtle. Slowly he started to float his way towards them and into the ruins.

      "Hey!" Sil called out. "Sorry to bother you, but what is this place? Is there a Hydro station nearby so we can leave this place?"

      The turtle man slowly turned his head. His eyes looked dead as he stared at the two.

      "What is this place...you came here, and you don't even know? This is the place where people who no longer wish to live... come to die." The turtle expressed as he continued to drift towards the ruins.

        Chapter—1829:
        Sea beasts. (Part 1)

        Both Sil and Doguth looked at each other. They both were waiting for the other one to take charge as to what to do next. After all, from the brief look around it looked like there weren't any other hydro stations in the area.

        According to what they had heard from Wince, every city would have several hydro stations to allow them to quickly travel to other places. So where were they now?

        "There is no use in us doing nothing. Why don't we follow the person from before and ask him some more questions about this place." Doguth looked around, but it really didn't seem to be a single person alive, but maybe searching through the ruins they would find something.

        There had to be a reason why a hydro station even went to such a place, in the first place.

        "Why don't we just wait here? Don't you think that would be the better option?" Sil asked. "I mean, eventually someone else will come out of the tubes after us right?"

        While the two were talking, Dogthus was noticed that the fishmen that looked somewhat like a crossbreed between a human and a turtle was still floating deeper and further away into the ruins.

        If they decided to stay now, and no one else came, then they might never get thier chance. Using his large tail and kicking his legs without saying anything else to Sil, he went off into the deep sea ruins.

        "Shouldn't we stay? And isn't there some way we can go back in the tube and reverse it?"

        "Maybe we could just follow the hydro tube back to the start, that would take us to the original station, wouldn't it?" Sil thought, using one of his abilities that drastically improved his eyesight as if it was a camera on several times zoom, Sil followed the tubes with his eyes, and he soon could see gigantic large creatures.

        Swimming in the large deep sea, they had multiple large eyes, strange spikes sticking from them, and teeth among other things. These deadly sea creatures were the size of mountains moving underneath the water.

        "All of them look to be the same size at that Hydra I faced. What is with this place? Is it just full of demon-tier beasts or something?" Sil thought.

        "How have this Mermerial race managed to survive on these planets for so long with these things in the water. Either way, Quinn did say I should keep an eye on the Dalki."

        Spinning the water in the palm of his hands, Sil was able to move quite quickly. It worked like a propeller. It was still relatively hard for him to move from side to side and other parts of his body.

        "There they are!" Sil spotted Doguth and the turtle. He started to head towards the two.

        "What did you mean when you said people go here to die?" Doguth asked blocking his way. The turtle moved towards him crashing into his chest.

        "Would you please move... please? You should understand. After all, you are in the same place as me." The turtle replted.

        "Well, we are here by accident, so please talk to us, otherwise I'm afraid I would have to stop being nice." Doguth stated, raising his hand and making a fist, trying to somewhat threaten the fishman.

        The turtle started to laugh.

        "Please, if you could end my life then that would make me happy, and I am very sorry to hear about your circumstances. If you are here by accident, then your fate is sealed like all of us."

        "My family are gone, I no longer have friends, and my wife has left me. I am afraid I no longer wish to be here."

        The next second, the turtle was dragged suddenly through the water. The Dalki attempted to reach out and grab him but was too slow, and all he could see was something had wrapped around the turtle's waist and pulled him into the deep dark sea.

        In the ruins, there were several items that would create a light source for them to sea. Making everything a slightly blue hue, but beyond the ruins, there was just the darkness of the sea.

        "What happened?" Sil asked, having just arrived. "It looked like something pulled him... it reminds me of what I saw before, in the hydro station."

        Sil gulped, and he didn't even want to use his ability to see what was off in the distance.

        "Did you find out anything from that guy? How to get out of this place? Anything?" Sil asked.

        "I think so," Doguth replied. "But nothing that's going to help us out of our situation. This is a place where people go to die."

        "When people no longer have the will to live, they come here. And I'm guessing that creature that just grabbed him must be the reason."

        "You're saying that they come here to just die and get eaten by a giant fish," Sil said.

        "How could the Mermerial have a place like this? It's almost encouraging people to give up. There has to be some reason for them doing this."

        Rather than think about the situation or answer Sil's questions, once again Doguth was on the move. He swam right to where the strange turtle had been taken.

        "This Dalki, is he not scared? And I don't understand what he's doing." Sil thought.

        "Even if we find what killed the turtle, how is that going to help us get out of this place? Killing the beast will do nothing."

        The two continued to swim through the ruins, looking at all of the destroyed buildings. They were relatively close to the sea floor, as they could see several items buried in the sand, including treasure and pearls.

        It was hard for them to know how long everything had been down here for and they had yet to find anything. Finally, the Dalki decided to tread on his feet, on the surface of the floor.

        "What's wrong, isn't swimming faster than walking?" Sil asked.

        "Yes... but I fight better this way," Doguth replied.

        At that moment, out from the sand, two large tentacles dark grey in colour rose up crashing through the ruins. It had easily destroyed them not slowing down. It was clear that it was the same type of tentacles that had grabbed the turtle from before.

        Both of them at the same time came whipping down towards the Dalki. Sil could see this and had his hand ready to throw out an attack.

        "Wait, let's see how he deals with this." Sil thought.

        Raising both hands, the Dalki took the tentacle hits head-on and bent his knees, Sand from the ground floor was kicked up everywhere, but the Dalki still had a firm grip on either end.

        Grabbing hard, his fingers dug into the end of the tentacles and blood was dripping out from them. Still, the tentacles had some level of strength to them. Even the Dalki with his great power looked to be somewhat struggling until he turned his head towards them and his eyes started to glow up.

        A red lazer came out from them, hitting part of the tentacle, slicing it right off. He turn his head, the lazer from the eyes hit the other tentacle and the same thing happened again causing the other tentacle to fall.

        "These guys were hard to deal with before they had abilities. Maybe Lazer Eyes isn't so much of a problem, but imagining a Dalki with the same powers as someone like Owen."

        "I understand now why Quinn wants to keep an eye on them."

        "It looks like you vanquished the great beast, so let's get out of here," Sil said standing by his side. "Let's spend our time trying to figure out how to get back."

        "Can't you smell it?" the Dalki replted. "The smell of blood is coming from over there."

        Staring in the direction of where the Dalki was looking at, in the distance, past the end of the ruins, there was a large dark outline that was part of the sea. It looked like a mountain in the water.

        Soon though, rumbling from all of the ruins was felt. The entire ground was shaking and what was left of the buildings was starting to fall one after another.

        "An underwater earthquake?" Sil wondered.

        It was then, that the giant dark figure that could be seen in the sea, suddenly had two red glowing dots, and hundreds of large snake-like shadows could be seen.

          Chapter—1830:
          Sea beasts. (Part 2)

          It was obvious that what Sil first thought was just a dark patch in the sea, or a large underground mountain was nothing of the sort. Instead, it was a giant beast, what level or what tier, he had no idea but judging by its size, Sil thought it would at least be at the Demon-tier level.

          Judging by how far they were, it seemed like the tentacles could stretch miles. In the next second, all of the large tentacles headed straight into the ground. Piles of rocks and rubble from the destroyed ruins were being chucked up all over the place, and immediately the two of them were surrounded by several tentacles.

          They started swinging down towards the two of them and using the water jets on his hands, He started to swim out of the way, allowing for the tentacles to miss him.

          "To truly test the Dalki, it's best if the two of us split up." Sil thought.

          Eventually, when they were far enough, Sil had come across what used to look like a house, It was one of the most non destroyed structures in the area. Landing on top of it, several of the tentacles that were chasing after him rose from the ground.

          Suddenly, Sil's fighting face expression changed and immediately all of the water around Sil started to move and bubble. The tentacles moved at the same time to slam down on Sil, but immediately the water moved in slashes outward in all directions from Sil.

          The next second several of the tentacles fell onto the ground, and blood was seen floating in the water all over the place.

          "That was a warning for you," Sil said out loud. "Don't try to attack me unless you want a short life. Just stay back."

          When saying these words, Sil looked towards the large dark figure and the red eyes in the distance. For some reason, from that one attack, it looked like all the tentacles were being pulled away.

          Now all that was left was for Sil to see just how Doguth would deal with all of this.

          "A five spike Dalki against a demon tier. Quinn told me to keep an eye on him, but if he can't handle it, am I meant to help him?" Sil wondered.

          Doguth was unable to pay attention to what was happening to him, and he wasn't even aware that Sil had gone off because he was focusing too much on his own battle.

          The tentacles were strong and rampant. One had come towards him, but it was stopped with one hand from the Dalki, but his side was soon hit by another and had sent him flying in the air. The Dalki felt some of his ribs break and a little bit of green blood was coming out of his mouth.

          While in pain, the Dalki didn't stop his attack, since he continued to use the red lazer energy from his eyes. It seems to be the most effective as whatever it hit would either burn the end of the tentacle or cut through it.

          However, it looked like Doguth could only use it in short bursts, as he would stop once in a while and resort to using his hands.

          "Stop annoying me!" Doguth shouted as he threw a punch down right on the head of a large tentacle. It slammed into the ground creating cracks on the sea floor.

          "Ah yes, the reason why these Dalki are so difficult to deal with in the first place. Because the more hurt they are, the stronger they get." Sil thought.

          Although the Dalki was doing well and able to deal with a lot of the tentacles by ripping them off with his hands, stomping on their heads with his foot, and burning them with his lazers. It still wasn't enough.

          There were far too many and each time he would get hit, the muscles on the Dalki body would be hurt and restricted.

          "Is he not as strong because of us being in the water? It doesn't seem to be affecting the beast at all." Sil thought.

          Just then one of the tentacles for the first time in the fight had grabbed onto Doguth. It wrapped around him and was squeezing harder and harder to the point where blood was coming out from his mouth.

          Seeing this, Sil let out a sigh.

          "I've seen a lot of people, creatures, and beings die in front of my eyes... but I guess we need this one to live so we can find a way home." Sil opened his hand and a ball of water started to gather. Instead of pointing it towards the Dalki, he had pointed it towards the cause of the problem, the large creature in the distance.

          Getting ready to deal with the creature, Sil heard a loud noise coming from his right. He could see that Doguth had broken free and not just that, he had destroyed all of the tentacles around him.

          Immediately after, Doguth started to run towards the large creature off in the distance. As he continued to run, more of the tentacles would appear in an attempt to strike him down.

          The Dalki, even without having to swim, had been hurt beyond belief was stronger than before and was now faster. When Doguth got close, suddenly out from the ground around him, tentacles appeared creating a wall in front of him.

          Opening his eyes, the red lazer came out wider than Sil had ever seen it before and it had completely evaporated the large tentacles off.

          "What is going on here... wait don't tell me." Sil started to think back to the fight he had seen so far, he didn't notice it before because it was subtle but he was sure of it.

          "The Dalki, as they get hurt more not only is he getting stronger, but his ability is as well. This... is messed up." Sil thought.

          As soon as Sil had finished his thought, Doguth, had already reached the large creature and now there was a giant hole through its head. It had without a doubt died, and on top of that, Doguth looked to have taken the Demon tier crystal as well.

          "This is not what I expected." Sil thought.

          Swimming towards Doguth, Sil landed by his side and checked to see if he was okay. He was bleeding quite a bit, but as always with a Dalki it was hard to tell if they were on thier last legs or not.

          "I see you were alive, but you are too late I have killed the beast, so the crystal is rightfully mine, correct?" The Dalki said.

          For some reason, the Dalki, itself seemed to be obsessed with crystals, Sil already had plenty before and letting go of one crystal at least for now, he didn't mind.

          The two of them started to feel the water inosing all around them. It was as if there were waves underneath the sea. It was a strange feeling and stranger when they couldn't see anything.

          Because of this, Sil started to use his ability again and he soon regretted it.

          "This might be a bit troublesome," Sil said.

          It didn't take long for the Dalki to figure out what was happening because soon large dark figures could be seen in the distance and they were getting bigger by the second. The single large beast wasn't the end of their troubles.

          "It looks like the two of us will really be dying here. It's such a shame." Doguth said.

          "Hey, I thought Dalki weren't like that. I thought they were warriors that fought to the death. You are a strange one." Sil stated walking forward and in front of Doguth.

          "It's okay, you can rest. I have something that can deal with all of these, I wasn't going to use it, bur I guess since there is no one around, it will be alright."

          Opening up the portal, Sil reached in and pulling out of it, was one of his favourite weapons that had originally come from this planet, the great trident.

          "Let's get rid of all of these and get out of here."

    Chapter—1823:
    Guilty.

    As soon as Quinn heard the words coming out of Sil's mouth, he stopped him there and quickly used his celestial energy to cover the two of them in his white space. Although he hadn't yet fully recovered his celestial energy after the practice, there was enough to secure the location. He believed it was important that no one else ends up hearing what Sil was saying.

    "Sil... please tell me it isn't true?" Quinn asked, still surprised by what Sil was trying to imply.

    Using his powers, Sil opens the portal to reveal the glorious trident he used in his battle against Athos. Admittedly, it was more elegant than the commander's, but on closer inspection, both the trident seemed to have similar craftsmanship and design. And upon seeing this, it only added more worry to Quinn's mind.

    "I'm sorry, Quinn, but you have to understand my point of view," Sil said.

    "When I landed on the planet, there was nothing but water, and then this damn giant Hydra-looking fish came out of nowhere and started attacking me."

    "What do you think anyone would do in that situation? It was clearly at the level of a demon-tier beast and a strong one as well. So I thought that it would make a great weapon."

    "There were plenty of times when I would land on a pallet and kill beasts and demon-tier beasts, so this was no different. How could I have imagined this would complicate things in future."

    So far, the story seemed quite fair, and Quinn was with Sil on this one. He would have done the same thing.

    "Anyway, in the middle of the fight, this muscular old man with a white beard came out of nowhere. He was also the same."

    "Without saying anything or listening to me, he started to attack along with the Hydra. I had no clue what was happening, but the man kept yammering about this Yanny guy sending me to kill the beast."

    "I have to admit it was a really tough fight, but what was even more impressive was that the man could transform the demon tier beast into this weapon right here."

    "Furthermore, it had the same replication ability, allowing one trident to become many, just like Hydra's many heads."

    "It was clear that this man was going to take me out, so it was either him or me, and after he disappeared, I took the spear, and it's been like this ever since. But I won't lie, this trident has been one of my best and most favoured demon tier weapons because it helped me gain an advantage in countless battles after that." Sil was shaking his head as he thought back to the fight.

    It certainly was one of his most challenging ones, especially for not going against a God Slayer or a Celestial. It was almost as if the demon-tier beast and the man were more on the level of a god slayer, but that wasn't the important bit now.

    "I have to admit... I feel a bit guilty." Sil added, "Ultimately, it's because of me that her family and the people on the planet are being turned into slaves. Can't we help them?"

    Quinn's eyebrows furrowed. If he were honest, he would have preferred Sil to keep the story to himself, but he understood why it was eating him up inside and why he felt the need to tell someone.

    For Quinn though, this story just made it harder for him to be selfish. They had absolutely no responsibility or reason to get involved in this, unlike with the Amra race, but now Sil had presented a reason and not a simple one either.

    "If it's really such a big deal, maybe one of us can continue to focus on finding a way to get back to the Earth while the other helps them out? I don't think there's a need for the two of us." Sil suggested.

    While thinking about it, Quinn didn't really want to split up with Sil. Splitting up last time didn't turn out to be the best decision, even if the two were titans in terms of power. Hearing what Sil had suggested though, did give him an idea.

    "Maybe there is a way." Quinn sighed.

    "The commander for before had a marking, that means there's definitely a Celestial on that planet. So that's one way of us getting back. Then there's the treasure for helping the princess."

    "Honestly, we don't know which side is the right one, but we have to be selfish in this situation."

    "The princess has promised us rewards, not to mention we're the reason their race is in danger, so let's help them, and with the rewards, there might be a way back through them, and there is also a third reason."

    "If you've been to the Meremerial planet before, it means we're heading in the right direction."

    "Right now, the best way to return to Earth is to retrace your steps, and maybe your ship will kick in and pick something up again. So that's three reasons we should help." Quinn nodded with his arms folded.

    "I mean, we didn't really need three reasons, but if that's what you need to convince yourself to help these people, then do it, Quinn. I knew you were going to help them anyway." Sil smiled.

    "Maybe I should keep this trident away, so no one sees it? Otherwise, maybe both sides will be after us."

    Although Sil said it jokingly about the bad luck that Quinn was having lately, this was a big red flag for them.

    After getting out of the Celestial space, Quinn decided not to use his celestial energy freely. After all, they were possibly meeting another celestial, and after defeating the last one, although he was more confident than before, he didn't wish to do something reckless.

    They were back in the hallway right now, and the two of them decided to turn around and head back to the meeting room. Only the sisters were in the meeting room, and it seemed like the Captain, and his manager had left the room after Quinn and Sil stormed off a few minutes ago. Even the sisters were about to leave when Quinn suddenly stepped in and made an announcement before they did.

    "The two of us, we have decided to help you, Princess," His words surprised everyone in the room.

    They were only a few words but were enough to bring the two sisters to tears. They turned to each other, locking hands and began to jump up and down for joy. They were truly happy, and Quinn also smiled at this sight, knowing he was the reason for their hope.

    Soon after, both sisters ran up to Sil and Quinn, giving them a big, tight hug.

    "Thank you... thank you! We promise that we will forever be in your debt after this is over. We will do our best to support you if there is a problem or anything you need."

    The group didn't waste time, and it was mainly due to Quinn. He wanted them to move on and not add any more delays to their original plan. So they decided to take Sil's ship as it could comfortably fit everyone inside and head to Meremerial planet.

    Both of them didn't quite know what they were expecting, but the sisters would tell them everything they needed to know along the way. However, just before they left, surprisingly, there were two figures standing near the ship's ramp.

    "Hey, what are you two doing?" Sil asked.

    It was the Nog and his Dalki Captain Doguth. They were notified by the other staff members of these four heading to the docking area, and after a small discussion amongst themselves, they headed for Sil's ship.

    Seeing the confused expression on Sil and Quinn's faces, the Captain clarified. "These people destroyed my ship that I have given my life to. I don't care too much about the princess's vendetta."

    "I want to avenge this ship against the people who did this, so they would never consider doing it again. Which is why we decided that the two of us will be coming." Doguth, stated.

    Sil stood on the ramp, refusing to budge. He didn't particularly like the fact that these two were going on his ship until Quinn pulled him by his shoulder and to the side.

    "I know you said that Dalki knows nothing about Earth, but we also know nothing about him. If the Dalki are still alive and they have abilities, then we should gather information about them as well so that we can be ready for anything."

    "Maybe after this thing, it will bring us closer together, and he'll explain to us."

    A large huff came out from Sil, which showed his displeasure at the idea. Seeing a middle-aged man act like this was strange, but Sil had improved vastly from the last time Quinn saw him, so he didn't really say anything.

    "Fine" Sil said while walking off. "But if you guys betray us attack us, or pull any of that crap, then I'm going to deal with you all personally."

    Walking up the ramp, Nog and Doguth entered the ship, and everyone soon embarked on their journey to the Meremerial race planet.

    —— —— ——

    Not long after the group had left, a fleet of ships arrived from none other than the Marpo headquarters. A man stepped out of one of the ships and onto the large Cruise ship. After observing the ship's state, the man shook his head as a frown appeared on his face, and his eyes began to glow red.

    "What dared to create this mess?!"

      Chapter—1824:
      A Red Deal.

      After the Great War against the Dalki, the planet Earth lost most of its landmass, leading to a significant rise in water level and even less land for the populace to live on. To resolve this problem, Logan built a city above the sea, and the Pure came up with a different solution.

      Cruising through the waves as if they were nothing was a gigantic city on a ship. It was enormous, as if someone had attached ten battleships and built a city on them. On top of that, there were more ships around it, ahead, to the left, to the right, at the front and behind. And all of them were moving at the same and constant speed to protect the large ship at any point and time.

      However, this wasn't just an ordinary ship. It was the Pure's base. This ship city of Pure, and their solution to the crisis that was on Earth. This enormous ship, which could be best described as a floating city. It looked like bits and pieces which had been put together, rather than a singular made ship. There were no restrictions for people to live there. But here, there were mostly those that supported Pure. Eighty percent of the human population currently on this floating city ship had no Ability as this was their believed philosophy.

      Only those that had recently switched sides still had their ability, but they chose not to use it and were kept under meticulous watch. However, those that didn't wish to be left defenceless had the option to join the Pure Military, and in return, they would be taught the ways of Qi.

      Small spaceships would board the large vessels from time to time for various reasons. For example, if they were here to trade with port cities linked to Pure, the small ships would land on the helipad at the front of the enormous ship to deliver supplies and Crystal from other planets.

      It was a well-built society on board the ship, and they had done well, protecting the people for a while now, unlike Green City, which seemed to be having problems as of late, being targeted by the very vampires that they were trying to protect.

      On board the large floating city, on the top floor of one of the highrise buildings, there was a high-class restaurant decorated primarily with golden and red shades. But right now, the restaurant was empty because it was cleared for a crucial meeting.

      Three figures were sitting at a fairly large square table. They were the leaders of the Pure. To the left was the red-headed macular man with scars all over his body, Chris, or Agent One. Then to the right, there was Agent four, with his glasses.

      Both were sitting down with a straight back, waiting for someone. Then, there was a man who looked to be in his middle thirties. He had a black beard reaching up to his moustache and black hair on the top of his head.

      As for his attire, he wore a tight robe and a belt with two blades on its sides. This man was the leader of Pure and the one known as Zero.

      Just then, the gates of the huge hall opened, and two figures stepped in. The three men looked up, albeit they remained seated.

      "It's great to meet the Queen herself in person finally!" Zero said with a smile to the two ladies walking toward the table.

      These were none other than the Dhampir Queen Erin and the second Dhampir, Flora. The ladies bowed a little to show their mutual respect and took the seats opposite Zero.

      "I'm sure you know I am a heavily wanted person, which is why I could not meet you before, but it is good that after working together for a long time, we're finally meeting face to face."

      "Even during my time in Pure, I had never met you... so this really does count as a first." Erin replied.

      There was tension on the table, as it was easy to tell that Chris wasn't happy about this at all. He had his arms crossed, and the frown on his face showed it quite easily. His attitude was annoying to Flora because she wouldn't let someone disrespect the queen like that, but she chose to remain silent for now.

      "It's far-fetched to say that we have been working together." Zero replied. "More or less, the two of us just happened to have a common enemy. So please tell me, what brings you here?"

      Erin had initially been asked to remove her weapons before entering the room, but of course, she refused. This meeting in itself was a gamble for her. It wouldn't have bothered her earlier, but now there were only two of them, and they were at the heart of someone else's faction.

      As usual, Erin's aggressive nature allowed them to have their way, and they entered the room like so.

      "You wish to take out Green city, but with the Vampire Corps supporting them, it's nearly impossible for you to do so. Which is why I suggest we team up for real and take them out together."

      Zero tapped his finger on the table for a few seconds before giving his reply.

      "You are only two people. I was hoping you wouldn't assume I don't know that you no longer have an army. Yes, you are strong, but I doubt just you two would count for much against the enemies."

      "I feel like you two coming here was more for protection rather than aggression, isn't that right?"

      These words made Flora nervous because, in many ways, Zero was right.

      "Because we have more to offer than just us two," Erin, on the other hand, wasn't bothered by Zero's mocking tone. She pulled out the red heart and held it in her hand for everyone to see.

      Flora, who was by her side, was stunned to see this. When Erin said she had a plan, she never suspected this. This was an item that everyone was looking for, and they had made many sacrifices to get their hands on it. Was she going to give it away just like that?

      "I'm sure you know what it is. In return for the red heart, we ask to join Pure. I admit that our position no longer makes us equal, so just let us be part of your group. If you wish to get rid of Green city or the vampire corps, then so be it.

      "However, if you try to betray me after taking this red heart, then I will not leave this planet until I have sliced your head off and fed it to all your children," Erin said with a straight face.

      "Unfortunately, I don't have children, not anymore." Zero shrugged his shoulders.

      "Nonetheless, I will accept your offer. Agent Four takes the red crystals and shows the queen and the princess to their new abodes."

      "Please make them feel welcomed and allow them to use any of the training facilities as they wish, and if they would like to meet me, and discuss anything, give them a direct line."

      Letting out a long sigh, Agent four did as he asked and walked over, but he soon had a hop in his step as he approached the red Crystal. When he stood opposite the two, he stopped for a second, being cautious. He was reluctant to take it from the blond dhampir at the start, but when she placed it on the table, he was a bit more inclined to do so.

      Picking it up, and feeling it in his hands, he began to look at the item from every angle he could. Without a doubt this was the real deal, it was the red heart that was so highly sought after.

      "With the armour, and this, things are falling into place." Agent four thought.

      When they finally left the room, Chris couldn't control himself and let out his frustration.

      "Why are we working with her?!" Chris asked.

      "I understand when we supported them, even collaborated with them, but taking her in as one of our own? Where have your morals gone?"

      Zero didn't say anything and just stood up and headed towards the door.

      "You know what she did, right? You know what she did to him!!" Chris shouted, which finally had the effect he wanted because Zero turned around and looked directly at Chris.

      "Don't you dare mention him!" Zero said in a heavy low tone that vibrated his own chest. Instantly, a tremendous amount of energy radiated off his body, and all the tables and chairs in the room started to float from where they were before quickly falling back down onto the ground.

      "If everything goes as intended and planned, then there won't be a problem no matter what happens. You have to keep your eyes on the end goal and put all your focus on it."

      "Then, all the hiccups along the way won't matter. What happened before involving her was a hiccup at most, and there might be more to come, but we will push through."

      "Besides, now that the Red heart is in our hands, don't you want to find out why the others want this thing so badly?" Zero asked. "Now, come... let's see what this can do."

        Chapter—1825:
        A God's fear!

        Sil's ship was state of the art, at least it was when he had last left earth, so it was relatively fast, but at the same time, according to others, quite slow as well. In fact, it had already been two days of space travelling, and they had yet to reach the planet that they were heading for.

        At the moment, Quinn had even regained the ability to re-enter the celestial space, but he decided that now wouldn't be the best time. If he did return, he wanted to have an impact. Returning now would just catch more unwanted attention from others, and would just end up dying again, temporarily losing a lot of his Celestial energy.

        "I still not sure about the Celestials' strength in general. From the sound of it, Athos was quite a strong one according to Sil, but even he hasn't had much experience."

        "Okay, everyone!" Wince said, clapping her hands.

        "In about half a day's time, we should be approaching my home planet. Before that though, I think it would be best if we all discuss how we are going to approach this."

        Nog walked over to stand close to where Wince and Ceril were standing, but as for the others they looked partly disinterested in the whole thing.

        "Come on!" Ceril said. "Can you guys take this seriously? Don't you already remember what happened at the cruise?"

        "Do you think that was the full force of their attack? The Mermerial Race that Yanny is in charge of is strong. We can't just go there, defeat them and save the day."

        "We can't?" Sil replied, which sounded a bit sarcastic but he was actually somewhat serious. They had done that with the towers owned by Athos' before. The only reason; they didn't do that with Athos was because they didn't even know where he was located, but this was a different story as they had their own personal tour guide. Why not just storm the place and get this over and done with?

        "The danger is real." Wince explained.

        "Yanny is in charge of a group known as the predator fish. In the past, they had ruled all of the Mermerial race planets. They were naturally stronger than the other types and did well to defend us from attacks and more."

        "However, as time went on more peaceful times were ahead of us. The predator bloodline was mixed with several other fishes creating mixed bloods, but Yanny, and his group of people had always remained pure."

        "Many people support them thinking that strength is the answer, rather than talking, communication and technologies."

        "Either way it's true, the predator type are the strongest by far, and they have only gotten stronger."

        "He was what he calls his ten generals. Those that have been by his side for a long time and who receive a strange power."

        Hearing this, Quinn was a little interested now.

        "The strange power, is it the same as the commander that attacked us before? And is he a general?"

        If he was a general, then Quinn knew that the whole thing would be a walk in the park.

        "Yes, it's the same power, but no the commander from before was relatively new, he was not a general and they are more powerful."

        "Before, they were reluctant to use the new technology that our side had created but now they are openly accepting it, which has just made them even more fearful."

        It was true, Quinn was surprised by the power that was outputted by their weapons. It was more powerful than anything earth had come up with, new or old. Quinn wouldn't tell Logan that, but once again, he had been introduced to a race that would have easily been a threat to earth, even with all their abilities.

        "This is why I suggest we first go to the Royal Vault." Wince suggested.

        "There will be items that will help us win. Items that my father kept in there for use at times like this."

        "In fact I have a feeling that the legendary beast, the trident, might have been sealed in there before my father disappeared."

        "He was good at predicting things and how the other side would move. He might have even predicted his own disappearance."

        Sil was sweating once again, and started to avoid eye contact.

        "I'm sorry, but the beast, and the trident you are talking about isn't in there, it would be useless to go in there!" Sil thought, but was wondering how to word it so they didn't have any false hope.

        "I doubt it will be easy." Sil finally spoke up.

        "I mean if they know there are powerful items inside, then they will definitely be protecting it, right? Maybe we should just use our own powers to defeat him."

        "Are you an idiot?" Ceril asked.

        "If we are strong enough to defeat Yanny and his generals, then we are strong enough to beat the guards or whoever is guarding the royal vault. Getting what is inside will make us stronger and give us more chances of winning this battle!"

        "If the spear is in there, it will be able to transform it into the legendary Hydra, and the weapon itself is even more powerful when used in the right hands." Wince explained.

        "I know it's unlikely to be in the vault, as my dad took it with him many times, and I have a feeling that... the others have already dealt with him, but we have to try, and with that weapon, I feel like we have more chance of victory."

        Sil looked at Quinn, asking, almost begging for his help in some way to stop these girls from entering the vault, because every word felt like he was being stabbed in the heart, as if the world wanted him to tell them the truth.

        "We won't be going to the vault." Quinn said.

        "This vault is our reward, it was your words, not mine, and I don't want to waste my time going to one place when we can fix the problem faster by going to another place."

        The girls stayed quiet after Quinn spoke. They respected him, and were thankful that he had even come on the trip. After hearing Quinn speak multiple times, they knew that he was serious about getting this done as soon as possible, and they would rather do it his way, than without him.

        "This Yanny." Quinn questioned. "Is he the one that is giving powers to the others, the generals you are worried about?"

        "Yanny is the leader of the Predators. However, he is not the one supplying them with power. There is another that Yanny is able to summon."

        "I have only seen him once, when going up against my father, but it is possible that if we can take the item off him that he won't be able to summon him."

        For Quinn, though, he was pretty sure this was the Celestial, and he wanted him to be summoned. Worst case, he would take the item himself so he could summon the god.

        After some time of discussion, they could see the ship approaching one of the planets. There were several large ships orbiting it, with fleets of smaller ships, the same type that had attacked the cruise.

        "It looks like this isn't ogling to be as easy as just getting on the planet and getting rid of Yanny." Nog stated.

        Rather than the large ship and the fleet of smaller ships, Quinn was more concerned with another problem.

        "Hey, this planet we're going to, I don't see much land on it, or anything that looks like a big city." Quinn asked, his voice a little shaky.

        "Of course, that's because we mainly live in the water." Wince replied.

        The others looked at each other, because it was a bit of a problem for them all, since none of them could breathe underwater.

        "We aren't going to be able to fight at our best." The Dalki stated.

        "At all, for some of us!" Nog added.

        The two sisters looked at each other and their eyes widened. The thought had never crossed the mind, that the others might not even be able to reach the city in question.

        As for another thing, seeing the sea and the idea of getting into it was causing Quinn's body to shiver, as he had a deep fear of the sea.

          Chapter—1826:
          Owner of Marpo.

          "WHAT!" Ceril screamed so loud that nearly the other ships through space could hear her.

          "I don't understand. Didn't you say you were some god of blood or something, and you're afraid of the sea? I mean, isn't like water and blood are quite similar?"

          "Look." Quinn said, giving out a deep breath.

          "I just feel more comfortable being on land. What is wrong with that? In the water, I can't move well, I can't see well, all my senses are dulled, and there is no telling what is in there. It's like the dark but ten times worse. I see no reason why everyone shouldn't be afraid of the sea, other than you guys."

          Although the others weren't scared of the Sea like Quinn was, they all thought he had brought up a good point. Even the Dalki would struggle to fight in the water, so it looked like the group needed a plan after all. Especially if they couldn't dive down.

          For now, the ship was staying a little way from the planet, as they also needed to figure out how to get past the fleet of ships without attracting attention.

          "I know!" Wince said with a smile on her face. "There is a special item in the Roval vault, just for situations like these. Pieces of beast-tier equipment that will allow you to breathe underwater. I can get those..." Her voice soon started to trail off as she realised what the problem was.

          "And how do you want to get those without us if the place is guarded?" Nog asked.

          It was time for them to put their thinking caps back on again, but that's when a solution arrived.

          "Well, I can travel in the water somewhat." Doguth said. "I'm not as strong as I am on land, but we can hold our breath for around six hours."

          "I never knew the Dalki were Whales," Sil commented.

          "Anyway, it won't be so much a problem for me either. I have an ability that will allow me to breathe underwater. It is just the restricted movement that will be the problem for me."

          It looked like in the end that the Dalki and Sil were the only ones that could go with the girls, so the plan would have to be just that. The girls, along with the two, would try to get to the vault.

          "Then what about us?" Nog asked.

          "There is an island," Ceril said. "One of the cities is located on an island. We can stop there for you guys. You stay put while we dive down to the city centre and come back."

          It sounded like a good plan, and Quinn was somewhat relieved that he wouldn't have to go into the water and would actually be able to stay on land. Surely there would be some way to convince this Yanny character to meet them.

          Steal something precious of his and rise up, who knew? Either way, knowing that Sil was going gave Quinn confidence, and it might also be something that he could complete on his own.

          Surprisingly, there was another solution put forth by Sil about avoiding the space fleets and that was another ability Sil had. In his large book of abilities, he had many that would have seemed useless in a battle, but they are proving useful here.

          For one, he was able to turn any object he touched invisible as long as he was holding it. At the same time, everything inside of the object he would touch, as long as they were touching the object as well, would turn invisible. So that's what the group had currently decided to do.

          The ship was now travelling in stealth mode while being invisible, so the engines were dead silent, but it also meant that it would take a bit longer for them to reach the planet. It was a shame that Sil didn't have the power to just teleport them all. But then again, although the distance looked small from the ship, it certainly was vast.

          Since there was some more time before they would leave the ship, Quinn had decided to approach a particular person that was on board.

          "I know the two of us haven't spoken a lot," Quinn said.

          "I'm sorry if I seem a bit nervous when talking to you. I'm sure you know the situation between our two races?"

          The Dalki nodded but also looked Quinn up and down.

          "From what I know, our two races have a different problem, though?" Doguth replied. "Aren't you a vampire, not a human?"

          From the sound of it, the Dalki knew a lot more than Quinn originally thought, which was perfect for what he wanted.

          "Oh right, and our relationship is even more complicated. I'm quite interested in you."

          "I have a lot of questions, how are you even alive and more, but I know from Sil that you won't answer that, so I thought I could ask you more about the Marpo-Cruise, when it all started, and when did you become captain?" Quinn asked.

          In a roundabout way, Quinn was trying to find out if was related to the Dalki that he knew. Something didn't seem right. If the Dalki were still alive, there were only a few people that Quinn imagined could keep them that way, and they were meant to be dead, both of them.

          "The Marpo-Cruise. I have been there since the beginning, I guess. Originally there was just one, but soon the company grew..." Doguth stopped there. It was as if he was about to say something.

          "I know why you are talking to me. You wish to get home, but as I said to your friend. I have never been to Earth and have no idea about it, but there is one person who will know."

          "The owner of the Marpo-Cruise line, he is a Human himself. Everything I know about Earth, myself and the Dalki past is thanks to him." Doguth explained.

          Hearing this, Quinn stopped there, thinking who on Earth could it be that was still alive or had information about back then. Was it Jim Eno? Was he somehow still alive but the fact was that the Dalki had specifically said human instead of a vampire?

          It was then that Quinn's eyes started to glow red, and he looked toward the Dalki.

          "And the human, the owner of the Marpo-Cruise, what is his name?"

          Using the influence skill, Quinn was hoping to get a truthful answer, His heart was thumping louder. Something was going on in the universe. Something that he wasn't able to see, there was a deep dark feeling that he had, but he wasn't quite so sure what it was.

          That was when the Dalki didn't answer and tapped his nose.

          "Your name is Quinn, right? I will pass on that you wish to meet him, and let's see what he says."

          "The influence skill didn't work... he is a five spike, so that would make some sense, and it never worked against beasts well. Still, I thought it had a chance."

          "Alright, everyone, we were nearly there in the city. Everyone remembers the plan and don't cause too much attention." Wince ordered.

          Walking over, Quinn headed back to Sil's side and looked over at the Dalki. He then folded his arms and whispered.

          "Keep an eye on the Dalki. See if you can get any information out of him. Don't harm him...he seems like a nice one, but if he's in trouble, don't help him out so much. Let's see how strong these guys are."

          There was a strange feeling and thought going through Quinn's mind, and it was a dreaded thought. The threat of the Dalki was meant to be over. It was in the past, and a thousand years had passed without that said threat coming back.

          Learning of what was happening, a thought crossed Quinn's mind, what if he wasn't the only one, and what if he wasn't the only special one that could hold an ability? Before anything like the thoughts that were going through Quinn's mind would come true, he needed to meet this human.
