CHAPTER 470: CHAPTER 326: THE SECOND DEATH SPIRIT THUNDER PROJECTION ARRIVES!

Is everything within Saint Zhou’s calculations?

No!

Everything is within his master, Xu Gu’s calculations!

From the moment Xu Gu enslaved Ao Moyun, the former Mermaid Queen, it was destined that he would stand undefeated in Atlantis!

Looking around, the entire world had fallen into dead silence, even the Night Owl Queen was rendered speechless, her face filled with shock, utterly unable to comprehend why such a thing could happen.

The smile on the Elf Princess’s face was full of mockery.

"My master’s strategic plots, how could they be speculated by these mere ants?"

As she spoke, her gaze focused on the Night Owl Queen and she laughed:

"Otherwise, why do you think we willingly serve our master? Our status, should not be much different from yours, right?"

At this moment, the Night Owl Queen was completely overwhelmed with shock.

Once again, her understanding of Xu Gu was renewed.

Truly, even though she, a formidable Upper Demon King who wields the authority of the Dark Night, felt fear towards a mere eighteen-year-old boy.

A gifted genius is one thing, but to have such astonishing strategic cunning?

No wonder he could rise from nothing!

In just three short months, he had grown so tremendously!

It was as if the Creator God had descended!

Outside,

At this moment,

Silence!

A death-like stillness.

Everyone on the field was stunned, their brains crashing, completely unable to comprehend the scene unfolding before them.

This scene was too surreal.

Many were doubting whether they were still dreaming!

The four ancient ancestors of the Mermaid Clan, who had fiercely traveled hundreds of miles to kill Xu Gu, who had murdered the four princes and slaughtered numerous members of the Mermaid Clan, not only did not defeat him.

instead, they knelt before Xu Gu?

"This is too absurd!"

The pupils of the crowd constricted sharply, like a thunderclap on a clear day, they swore that no matter how much time passed, they would never forget the scene of this day!

"Who exactly is Xu Gu?!"

"Is he really a commoner? Are you sure he’s not the offspring of some God?"

"This is... the Heart of the Ocean!"

Someone recognized the gemstone in Xu Gu’s hands and was even more shocked.

Mermaid’s Tears are extremely difficult to obtain.

Normally, Mermaids do not cry; only under extreme emotional peaks can they shed a tear.

Ordinary beings, to obtain Mermaid’s Tears, need to foster a relationship with that Mermaid and earn their utmost trust.

When the Mermaid faces danger and someone steps forward, moving the Mermaid,

Only then can they obtain the Mermaid’s tears.

This is a form of acknowledgment.

It represents absolute trust and sincere friendship!

If not shed for someone by the Mermaid themselves, Mermaid’s Tears cannot be preserved.

Though it is possible to gain the Mermaids’ trust through a series of layouts and calculations, and inducing drastic emotional changes to obtain the tears they shed for oneself,

It is still very difficult and costs a lot.

Therefore, creatures possessing Mermaid’s Tears are treated as honored guests by the Mermaid Clan.

Moreover, this is a traditional instruction! It seems to have been passed down since the birth of the Mermaid Clan!

And the Heart of the Ocean, exists only in legends, requiring at least ten thousand Mermaids to shed tears that are then gathered together.

How many Mermaids are there now in Atlantis?

Only a few thousand!

Even the old Mermaid King, to collect Mermaid’s Tears from these few thousand clan members, managing to collect hundreds of Mermaid’s Tears, would already be considered incredibly noteworthy!

Other princes and princesses would collect even fewer!

No wonder, these four marquis-level powerhouses, would kneel down directly.

Holding the Heart of the Ocean, Xu Gu’s prestige within the Mermaid Clan, is simply too high.

Xu Gu looked at the four kneeling marquis-level powerhouses, and nodded in satisfaction:

"Is killing me in self-defense justified?"

"It is justified." Donghou silently for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Those Mermaids, who are also clamoring to kill me, are beyond redemption and planning a rebellion, should I suppress them?" Xu Gu coldly huffed and questioned again.

"It is justified." Donghou took a deep breath and nodded heavily, his speech halted.

"Rest assured, I am not here to be the Mermaid King, nor am I interested. You wouldn’t think you are still the Mermaid Clan from a thousand years ago, would you?"

Xu Gu chuckled lightly, assuring these four middle marquis, saying: "I am here only because of my mission as the Regent King of the Mermaid Clan.

"Currently, your old king is incompetent, internal strife abounds, a plethora of problems looms overhead.

"I shall assist you in selecting the future new King. To restore the former glory."

"Phew." Hearing Xu Gu’s words, the four elder Mermaids all breathed a sigh of relief.

They were afraid that Xu Gu had no sense of boundaries and wanted to seize power to become their king.

With their strength, of course, they wouldn’t be constrained by a king, but, neither did they wish to see a Human Clan member becoming the king of the Mermaid Clan.

With Xu Gu’s assurance, they softened their gaze considerably towards Xu Gu.

Their hearts no longer resisted.

As for the death of the fourth prince?

He had it coming!

Why provoke someone who holds the Heart of the Ocean?!

"Not only that, but we also owe you our thanks, Mr. Xu!" they said.

Observing the response of the four elder Mermaids, Xu Gu raised his eyebrows slightly; it seems his decision not to let Ao Moyun take direct action was indeed correct.

In the Mermaid Kingdom, some privileges were acceptable.

But, seizing power was a bit more difficult.

Especially when a more troublesome Queen of Naga was still lurking within the upper echelons of the Mermaid Kingdom!

"As for Saint Zhou, the mastermind behind this rebellion?" Xu Gu’s eyes slightly narrowed, he lightly stated.

"Should be cut with a thousand knives!" Donghou angrily exclaimed.

He wasn’t foolish; he obviously knew that all this chaos was orchestrated by Saint Zhou!

Not only did they lose face, but numerous Mermaids also died or got wounded, a prince was lost! Moreover, they offended Xu Gu, who holds the Heart of the Ocean!

Without killing Saint Zhou, they could not call themselves Mermaids!

Xu Gu nodded in satisfaction, and issued a command directly: "Pursue Saint Zhou! A bounty of 300 for information on Saint Zhou’s whereabouts, 10,000 for killing Saint Zhou!"

For the Human Clan, money means points.

But for other races, they use a special metal crafted into Gold Coins.

One Gold Coin is about ten thousand points.

For Xu Gu and others, this bounty was not a lot, but for the people of the Mermaid Clan, it was an astronomical amount.

"What are you all waiting for? Go do it!" Donghou scolded some upper-level members of the Mermaid Clan at the scene, fearful of delaying Xu Gu.

"Yes!" These belated senior members of the Mermaid Clan, shakily emerging from their shock, swallowed their saliva, respectfully saluted Xu Gu before daring to leave.

Elsewhere,

"No!"

A roaring scream echoed through the heavens.

This was Saint Zhou, howling towards the sky.

He was on the verge of collapse, utterly unable to accept this reality!

He lost!

In this battle, not only did he flee in dismal defeat, losing two close companions, but he also became a wanted fugitive!

Not only was his talent and strength completely crushed by Xu Gu, but even his intelligence was rubbed against by Xu Gu!

How could he accept this? Luckily he had weathered many storms, or he would have gone mad long ago.

The news here was spreading rapidly in all directions, public opinion fermenting and discussions increasing, and it had already caused a great uproar.

However, Xu Gu did not care at all.

Because the second Thunder of Death Spirit projection was finally here.
