Chapter 525: King Of The Sea (Part 4)

"Why are you staring at him so intently? Does it look better than me?"

Amalia thought about the time she had spent looking at the Sea King—it was barely two seconds...

"Were you born without bringing your brain along?" she asked seriously.

Kenny Lin snorted, "Do I look like someone who lacks a brain?"

"I don’t know if you’re brainless, but I do know you’re an idiot," Amalia sighed.

Before he could retort, she raised an eyebrow and warned, "Try arguing with me again."

Kenny Lin opened his mouth, but seeing the serious look in her eyes, he slowly closed it and muttered, "I’ll let you off just this once."

Amalia rolled her eyes, not wanting to continue the conversation.

Although the Sea King might not be an enemy, arguing in front of an uncertain ally seemed foolish.

She couldn’t believe he wasn’t an idiot.

"You two are different from other humans." The ethereal, deep voice echoed in their minds, as mesmerizing as its eyes.

Amalia looked up, meeting the Sea King’s gaze with determination, unaffected by the seductive power.

"You’re not what I expected either. If I’m not mistaken, you’re a mermaid, right?"

Legends said the mermaids’ songs were the most beautiful sounds in the world.

The voice had an unusual power, and its form was similar to the descriptions of mermaids.

"You are correct. Since I let you in, I had no intention of hiding it. You are smarter than other humans. If they were here, they would have rushed to kill me by now."

The King’s voice remained calm as if nothing could disturb its tranquility, with no change in expression.

Its body shifted slightly, and the tail resting on the cold ground swayed, the black and blue scales reflecting a cold, metallic sheen.

"Before, you didn’t seem willing to talk either," Amalia calmly retorted.

"The black crystal energy that erupted in the Western Sea before was from you," the King’s deep eyes landed precisely on Wealth.

Wealth’s small figure trembled slightly, not daring to meet its gaze, and sneakily hid behind Amalia.

Oh no, this Sea King was too powerful, too terrifying.

Its voice was confident, and Amalia never expected to deceive this Sea King, especially after seeing it and learning its identity as a mermaid.

Few events in the ocean could escape its eyes.

"We want to know if the situation with that spatial rift has reached a point where it can’t be controlled anymore," Amalia calmly regained control of the conversation.

The King remained silent for a moment, "So, you brought those humans with you?"

"No, but it’s almost the same. Once the spatial rift expands again, not only will your oceans disappear, but it will also be difficult for humans to survive."

With no renewable source of water, billions of people on Earth would die.

The King’s gaze swept over the Abyssard and the Pyrosplash, both immediately lowering their heads, feeling uneasy.

They knew the King might blame them for revealing the situation with the spatial rift, but they had no choice.

If humans didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation, how could they work together to solve the problem?

If the King really wanted to blame them, they accepted it.

Everything they did was for the future of the marine race.

"I can assure you that the three human spiritual cultivators above have no malicious intentions, and we can convince them, but..." Amalia’s tone softened, "to be honest, the situation here might be more severe. Those two Goblasharks are definitely up to no good."

"They are not a problem," the King said indifferently.

Amalia shook her head, "Don’t underestimate them. If you weren’t trapped here, you could ignore them, but now, you probably too weak to do it all by yourself."

The King’s aura fluctuated as if irritated by Amalia’s probing, and only two people could perceive this subtle change.

Kenny Lin subtly positioned himself in front of Amalia, glaring at it.

Fortunately, it was just a moment, and the King quickly regained its composure, as if that momentary feeling was just an illusion.

"If you agree, then let go of our people. We’ll take responsibility for convincing the humans on our side. By then, you’ll get a satisfactory answer," Amalia continued.

The King furrowed its brow, seeming to ponder.

After a moment, it looked up, its deep eyes shifting in another direction, "It seems we have more visitors."

Amalia blinked in surprise, "What visitors?"

"It’s from the human side," Kenny Lin frowned.

The King glanced at him unexpectedly, seeming surprised by his acute sense, impressed that he could detect the newcomers so quickly.

It was already impressive enough that he noticed their arrival, but to also sense their aura was remarkable.

"There’s something... unusual about your aura," the King observed intently.

Amalia couldn’t dwell on her surprise, "If it’s humans, it can’t be President Luis or Senior Zhao. Could they have sent someone else? Are they worried about their safety, so they sent reinforcements?"

"It’s unlikely. That aura is already coming this way. It seems..." Kenny Lin’s stern expression turned towards the King, "It’s coming for him."

"You humans also have traitors," the King remained calm and composed.

"The human heart is very complex. It’s normal," Amalia replied.

The King surprisingly nodded its head in agreement, "Indeed, the human heart is very complex. I can agree to release your three companions above, but I also have other demands."

"You may speak."

"I want the remaining black fragments. Those few pieces won’t do you any good."

Amalia coughed lightly, "The fragments can be given to you, but you probably won’t be able to gather them all."

The King furrowed its brow, "Why?"

"Because three of the black fragments were already consumed by my son," Amalia explained, seeing its confusion, "I mean truly consumed, in a way that cannot be regenerated."

"That’s impossible," the Sea King denied without hesitation, "The black fragments material is very special. Even I wouldn’t be able to break it."
