The power granted to him by the Dragon Bone Lord's divine seal was certainly not just limited to increased strength; it also granted him the ability to control death. However, this ability was not absolute; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill the Goddess of Death. With his current power, it was impossible for him to deal with the Deep Sea Lord, who had already begun activating his divine seal. His only target was the giant octopus.

Moreover, he has Zhuang Sen as backup. Once the giant octopus is dealt with, the situation will become a two-on-one fight between him and Zhuang Sen against the Deep Sea Lord, and Zhuang Sen hasn't even used his divine seal yet!

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but in reality, it was only a moment. Before the giant octopus's tentacles, which had reached their limit, could snap, Dragon Bone King suddenly turned his head to look at the giant octopus's huge, flame-red body. Under the interference and pulling of countless tentacles in its mouth, it let out a short dragon roar.

It means—[Law of Death]!

Then the giant octopus died.

Just as an apple will eventually fall to the ground, the giant octopus died in a perfectly logical and unexpected way. One second, it was still struggling to restrain and strangle the dragon bone beast; the next second, its massive body, strong tentacles, and countless eyes like stars lost their life force. It died just like that, cleanly and decisively.

The Deep Sea Lord, who was activating the Divine Seal, was stunned for a moment, unable to understand why. He thought the giant octopus had been controlled by some kind of power and had lost control of its body. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Dragon Bone Lord suddenly exerted its strength and broke free from the Deep Sea Lord's restraints, rushing rapidly towards the surface of the sea, attempting to return to the sky.

But the Deep Sea Lord only paused for a moment. As his white body became translucent in the azure light, a crystal crown with a three-pronged tip appeared at the center of his massive body. The power of the sea goddess and the Siren Queen confirmed that his companion had completely departed.

He let out a sharp howl for the first time, the violent sound waves vibrating through the already deep seabed, creating chaos and even momentarily disorienting the undead Dragon Bone Lord. The tentacles, which had paused due to the momentary daze, swiftly rose and coiled around the Dragon Bone Lord again! The terrifying speed and power far surpassed its previous strength; clearly, the Deep Sea Lord's physical attributes had been elevated to a new level under the Divine Seal state! But the Dragon Bone Lord, focused on escape, had anticipated this. He abruptly turned around, unleashing his accumulated [Death Dragon Breath], which, while blocking the tentacles, also generated a tremendous recoil force, pushing him towards the surface!

Although the surrounding seawater instantly transformed into tentacles or even heavy walls of water, none of these could stop his incredibly powerful body in his divine seal state under the Dragon Bone Lord's relentless breath. He smashed them all to pieces and charged out of the sea!

When he saw the sunlight again, Dragon Bone felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction! He had never imagined that he would one day find the sunlight so lovely and captivating. However, his good mood was shattered by the cool, moist sensation coming from his hind limbs, as two tentacles formed from seawater grabbed his hind limbs, which had just emerged from the water, at the last moment!

"Annoying thing!"

The Dragon Bone King suddenly yanked its hind limbs. The seawater tentacles, lacking the strength of the Deep Sea King's body, were instantly torn off by the Dragon Bone King. However, they had already fulfilled their mission. Before the Dragon Bone King could happily return to the sky, even more water tentacles landed on it, making the Dragon Bone King quite impatient and somewhat nervous.

He flapped his bone wings violently, using all his strength to soar into the sky, preparing to escape the Deep Sea Lord's tentacles that might appear at any moment—however, he failed. From the water tentacles came an immense power, completely different from before, even surpassing the Deep Sea Lord's previous strength!

Impossible, how could this be...

Dragonbone Duke instinctively denied it, but then he realized: "Damn it, is it the power of the Divine Seal?!"

Indeed, just as the Dragon Bone Lord's divine seal granted him the ability to instantly kill the ancient monster, the giant octopus, with a single word using the [Law of Death], the Deep Sea Lord's divine seal, derived from the sea goddess, the Siren Queen, and the mistress of the ocean, Kraken, bestowed upon him the power of the [Tyrant of the Sea]. And the effect of this power is as simple and brutal as the [Law of Death]: I am the sea!

Every drop of seawater can unleash the full power of the Deep Sea King, and the Deep Sea King can also concentrate the power of every drop of seawater into itself!

boom!

Previously, it took the Deep Sea Lord and the Giant Octopus to work together to pull the Dragon Bone Lord into the sea. Now, even in its divine seal state, it was pulled into the sea by the Deep Sea Lord alone and plummeted to a depth even greater than before the Dragon Bone Lord escaped!

The translucent white tentacles mercilessly wrapped around the pale body of the Dragon Bone Lord, which was marked with gold. Before the tentacles, which combined the power of the entire sea, the Dragon Bone Lord's tough body instantly cracked. Although the bone dragon felt no pain, it still let out a shrill wail, desperately activating the communicator buried in its body to contact Zhuang Sen: "Thousand-Change Lord, help me—"

"I'm coming right away, Deep Sea Lord!"

The Sea Queen Mermaid ceased her agonizing screams, inaudible to humans. The instant the giant octopus died, she received a message from the Deep Sea Lord. At this moment, she couldn't concern herself with her perfect plan. She had to, immediately, kill that damned bone dragon, and then deal with the remaining two!

Damn bone dragon!!!

Chapter 314: Ultimate Evolution - Inherited Angel (5306 words)

The Sea Emperor Mermaid lunged towards the metal cube, unleashing countless water blades in unison, their eerie blue light shattering the tranquility of the Crystal Palace. The researchers, still recording data, their pupils wide with astonishment, were pierced precisely through the chest by the water blades, their bodies collapsing limply onto the cold crystal floor, blood spreading across the transparent surface like blooming flowers of death.

The water blade, its momentum still lingering, shattered the sturdy crystal palace walls. With a resounding crack, thick seawater, carrying immense pressure, surged in, forming a churning water curtain barrier behind her. The pursuing level-four bloodline warriors crashed into the water curtain, their blood churning from the pressure, temporarily losing their momentum. The Sea Queen Mermaid seized the opportunity to accelerate, her right hand firmly resting on a half-person-high metal cube, a faint blue light flowing from her fingertips, as if establishing a mysterious connection with the artifact.

In an instant, the massive metal cube shrank dramatically, shrinking to the size of a palm, which she held firmly in her hand. Having done this, she moved like a true spirit fish, nimbly darting into the whirlpool formed by the surrounding water. With a gentle flick of her blue tail, her figure vanished instantly into the surging sea, leaving only a string of tiny bubbles as proof of her presence.

When this series of lightning-fast movements ended, Esther's obese body suddenly appeared in the Crystal Palace, now littered with dead and flooded, with a whooshing sound. She shattered the crystal shards on the ground, looked at the empty platform, and felt the lingering scent of the sea god mermaid in the water. Her small, beady eyes instantly ignited with a furious rage, and her fleshy cheeks twisted and deformed with anger.

Without the slightest hesitation, her massive body began to writhe violently, her bones cracking and popping as her flesh churned, undergoing an astonishing transformation into a behemoth even more ferocious and savage than the Deep Sea King. This behemoth resembled a whale, but possessed razor-sharp flippers that could tear through seawater with each swing; its body was covered in hard, dark gray scales that gleamed with a cold, metallic light; its mouth was filled with jagged fangs, saliva dripping from between them, turning into tiny bubbles in the seawater. Its enormous body nearly filled half of the Crystal Palace, and with a gentle sweep of its tail fin, it crushed the nearby experimental equipment into fragments.

"Roar—" The behemoth let out a deafening roar, the sound waves spreading through the seawater and causing the surrounding crystal walls to hum. Without hesitation, she followed the scent of the sea queen mermaid, her huge tail fin slapping out fiercely, creating a towering wave that swept away the remaining crystal fragments and the researchers' corpses, leaving behind a trail of murky water.

She had to pursue them; she had no choice. Without the artifact, she couldn't continue creating the [Heart of the Snow Bear Queen]; and without the [Heart of the Snow Bear Queen], with her current strength, she was no match for Johnson and Misty. After witnessing Johnson easily suppress the Snow Bear Queen and Misty withstand several waves of tsunamis, Esther had long lost her previous blind confidence that "I'm invincible one-on-one on the beach, and I can win against two opponents." Her heart was now filled with fear.

More importantly, she could never relinquish the divine artifact. This treasure, which had accompanied her for so many years, was not only the source of her power but also a symbol of her status. As long as she possessed the artifact, she had the potential to become even stronger, and perhaps even a chance to turn the tide; even if she couldn't create the [Heart of the Snow Bear Queen] in time, what if Zhuang Sen and Misty's target was the artifact itself? If she lost the artifact and her bargaining chip, would they still accept her surrender?

Indeed, Esther was already prepared to surrender. She was, at her core, a businesswoman; the phrase "fight to the death" didn't exist in her dictionary, only "maximizing profits." Expecting her to have the courage to fight to the death was asking too much. For her, her own life was always paramount; as long as she could survive, temporary humiliation was insignificant. Therefore, she had to reclaim the artifacts no matter what.

Moreover, in her view, the thief's immediate escape after stealing the artifact clearly indicated he knew he couldn't win. Therefore, chasing after him would not only be risky, but might also allow her to evade the monsters Zhuang Sen and Misty, seize the opportunity to escape to a remote sea area with the artifact, and then return to rebuild her business empire once the storm had passed. This plan raced through her mind, making her pursuit even faster.

Esther's thoughts were exactly what the mermaid had anticipated, and were the result of her deliberate guidance. The mermaid deliberately left obvious traces of her presence during her escape, in order to lure this greedy "fat whale" to the predetermined battlefield.

The Sea Queen Mermaids were not as optimistic as Esther. Their Sea Queen's Court originally had three members, but one had already been lost in the battle against the Bloodline Order, greatly weakening their strength. Meanwhile, the opposing force from the Bloodline Order—the Sea Queen's Court had already recognized the Dragonbone Lord—had at least four members, and now two more unfamiliar faces had joined them, potentially bringing the total to six ancient demons. Even if the True Blood Lord and the Creeper Lord were dead as rumored, the opposing side still had four members, whose strength far surpassed theirs.

In this situation, she needed to find a way to gather more people to stop the Bloodline Order, and Esther was the best choice. The Bloodline Order was always tyrannical and domineering, and would never care whether Esther was a member of the Sea Emperor's Court or not; they would simply eliminate anyone who tried to seize the artifact. In the ocean, Esther's strength was indeed not to be underestimated; her bulky physique wasn't for nothing, at least she could serve as a competent cannon fodder, and might even buy her precious time to use [Water Teleportation] to take away the Deep Sea Duke.

But before that, we must first deal with Dragon Bone Lord!

That damned bone dragon is nearby. If they don't take him down, he might interrupt their teleportation or forcefully follow them, making their trip pointless!

……

When the Sea Queen Mermaid leaped out of the whirlpool, she had reverted to her original form: her entire body was covered in fine blue scales, shimmering like pearls in the seawater, sparkling with every movement; her delicate face now held a touch of allure, with faint blue lines drawn at the corners of her eyes, making her appear both innocent and seductive; her legs transformed into a long, slender blue tail, its fins spreading out like a magnificent skirt, edged with tiny silver specks of light. Even so, she still appeared remarkably small against the massive body of the Deep Sea Duke, not even as large as his crystal crown. Yet, her appearance caused the Dragon Bone Duke's long-vanished heart to instantly feel as if it had plunged into an ice cave, a chill shooting from his tailbone to the top of his head.

Unfortunately, the Deep Sea Lord entangled the Dragon Bone Lord tightly, its enormous tentacles like strong chains, binding his bones so tightly they creaked, as if they would snap him at any moment. His mouth, in particular, was completely blocked by a thick tentacle, rendering him unable to utter a sound, only producing muffled "whooshing" noises. The Deep Sea Lord continued to release potent poison and electricity; dark green venom flowed through the gaps in his bones, and blue electricity leaped across them, causing the Dragon Bone Lord to convulse and his consciousness to blur. He didn't even have time to communicate telepathically, and could only watch helplessly as the Sea Emperor Mermaid rapidly unleashed his various abilities above the Deep Sea Lord's head.

The melodious song of the mermaid spread through the seawater, carrying a strange magic that reached the ears of the sea creatures like celestial music. In the distance, the seawater began to churn violently, and a gigantic shadow could be vaguely seen churning within it—the phantom of Leviathan, the legendary monster that only appeared in nightmares. Although it hadn't truly appeared, the oppressive aura it exuded made the surrounding seawater viscous, making it difficult for even light to penetrate. Empowered by the song, the Deep Sea King's size increased several times over, its tentacles hardened, and sharp bone spikes even grew on its surface. Its attacks became increasingly ferocious, and with each impact, the Dragon Bone King felt its bones loosening.

Lured by the mermaid's song and driven by her own urgency, Esther followed the shortest route and caught up at top speed. Her massive body darted through the seawater, creating two white sprays. However, influenced by subconscious trust and excessive anxiety, she momentarily relaxed her guard as she caught up, and a fleeting illusion flashed through her mind: the Deep Sea Lord and the Dragon Bone Lord, who were fighting desperately before her, had transformed into ambushers sent by Johnson to lure her into a trap, now grinning eerily at her.

So, naturally, she launched the first attack. At such close range, and with her opponents "all" aquatic creatures, Esther naturally wouldn't bother to create a tsunami. Instead, she unleashed the full potential of her massive body—[Ten Thousand Ton Impact]! She was like a moving mountain, the seawater around her compressed into a solid layer, crashing into the "ambushers" ahead with a whooshing sound as she broke through the current. Small fish and shrimp along the way were instantly crushed into minced meat, and the seawater groaned in pain as it was squeezed.

As the colossal creature drew ever closer, the Dragonbone Prince was gripped by an overwhelming fear of death. He could clearly see Esther's gaping maw filled with fangs, and smell the stench emanating from her mouth. He screamed frantically in his mind, desperately sending a distress signal to Johnson, pleading with the prince to come to his rescue. At that critical moment, a holy light pierced through the seawater—Johnson had arrived.

The pure and majestic holy spear fell from the sky, its shaft radiating a soft yet irresistible light. Like the scepter of divine judgment, it forcefully parted the sea, carving a straight channel through it. The seawater on either side of the channel was crystal clear, as if frozen in time. The holy spear, accompanied by a whistling sound, slammed heavily into Esther. A deafening clang, like a thunderclap, shattered her unstoppable charge. Esther's massive body lost its balance, crashing headlong into a nearby underwater mountain range like an out-of-control boulder. With a deafening roar, the mountain range collapsed, sending debris flying and creating a massive rift, forming a new trench. Murky seawater surged into the rift, forming a huge whirlpool.

Duke Long Gu looked up excitedly, the green flames burning in his eye sockets beating violently, full of the ecstasy of surviving a desperate situation. Through the sea water hole torn by the holy spear, he saw Zhuang Sen standing high in the sky, with a pair of white wings spread out behind his back, with holy light flowing on the wings; he was holding a woman with a cold temperament and a bulging front and back in his arms, and was being beaten wildly by the woman.

Punch to the flesh.

?

After a moment of shock, Dragonbone Duke immediately realized: That's right, Missy must have been injured and unconscious from withstanding the tsunami, and the others couldn't stop the powerful Snow Bear Queen, so Zhuang Sen naturally had to bring her to his aid while she was at his mercy. Of course, he could have chosen to kill the Snow Bear Queen, but she was a level five bloodline user, and it would take time. By the time he dealt with her, he would probably already be Deepsea Duke's meal, not even a bone fragment left. That's why Zhuang Sen was willing to take a few punches to come to his rescue immediately—it was truly touching!

However, that one shot alone probably wouldn't be enough to change the current situation! The Deep Sea Lord's attacks grew increasingly fierce; the bone spikes on its tentacles had pierced his bone armor, and the dark green venom began to corrode his soul fire. The Dragon Bone Lord struggled even more desperately, the bones beneath its tentacles creaking under the strain, as if they would collapse at any moment. He looked desperately at Zhuang Sen, frantically sending out his will to survive through his consciousness—use your divine seal!

The next moment, Zhuang Sen seemed to hear his plea for help. A holy light burst forth from him, dispelling the darkness like the rising sun. Two more pairs of pure white wings slowly grew from his back, and the three pairs of wings unfurled in the sunlight, gleaming with a pearly luster, each feather clearly visible. Silver metal flowed above his head, coalescing into a simple yet sacred crown. The crown had no ornate decorations, yet it exuded an awe-inspiring majesty, even calming the surrounding seawater, which ceased its churning.

Seeing this, the Sea King Mermaid, the Deep Sea Duke, and Esther, who had just struggled out of the rift, all tensed up like never before. Their bodies instinctively tensed, and their eyes were filled with vigilance and fear. The Sea King Mermaid's song trembled slightly, the Deep Sea Duke's tentacles paused for a moment, and Esther retreated warily, her massive body assuming a defensive stance. Only the Dragon Bone Duke felt immense excitement and relief—this pressure was so strong! Stronger than ever before! He would definitely survive!

……

Above the sea, Zhuang Sen, though unaware of the deeply moving rescue scenario Longgu Gong was conjuring up, did receive his almost overflowing plea for survival. In fact, he had arrived long ago, simply concealing his presence within the clouds, waiting for an opportunity to wipe everyone out—a perfect moment to both eliminate the enemy and remove the threat of Longgu Gong, just like now. Therefore, he was finally ready to strike.

The changes in him were certainly not caused by any divine seal. Although he deliberately had Zero weave a silver crown on his head to mimic the activation of a divine seal, the real reason for all these changes was that he unleashed his full power—the full power of the [Inherited Angel]!

The ultimate evolution achieved by [Holy Gun Angel] through [Relic? Eternal Inheritance] is [Inherited Angel]. After completing the evolution, his strength leaped again from [Holy Gun Angel]. Not only were his physical attributes comprehensively improved, but his control over energy also reached a new level. He also gained an unexpected surprise—but we'll leave those aside for now and just witness the next strike.

Zhuang Sen's six wings shone with distinctly different lights: the wings near his shoulders glowed with a wise blue light, as if containing endless knowledge; the wings at his ribs burned with a powerful white light, seemingly capable of tearing apart any obstacle; the wings at his waist flowed with an eternal silver light, symbolizing an immortal legacy. A pure white holy spear materialized in his hand, its blade smooth as jade, devoid of any superfluous decoration. He held it high with one hand, seemingly no different from before, but the monsters in the sea and Esther all sensed extreme danger. The palpitation, as if their souls were locked, chilled them to the bone, and they instinctively realized that death was imminent.

They spontaneously set aside their grudges and joined forces to build a defense. The Deep Sea Lord spewed out copious amounts of viscous ink, which solidified in the seawater to form a black barrier; Esther slapped the water with her enormous flippers, creating a thick wall of ice; and the Sea King Mermaid manipulated the water currents, forming layers upon layers of water curtains. The three defenses combined were enough to withstand a landslide and the collapse of the sea. Only the Dragon Bone Lord was still struggling, trying to disrupt their cooperation. His bones creaked and groaned as he tried to buy time for Zhuang Sen.

The moment their defenses took shape, the Holy Lance plummeted. The serene and unassuming Holy Lance in Zhuang Sen's hand, the instant it left his grasp, erupted with a deafening roar like the fury of gods, the sound piercing the clouds and echoing throughout the entire sea. The spear, once pure white, transformed into a ferocious object radiating the fiery light of the sun, its intensity so intense it was blinding, before slowly yet swiftly plummeting into the sea.

The air was torn apart, emitting a sharp scream; even space itself cracked with fine lines, revealing the void of darkness behind. Before the spear tip even reached the sea surface, the water below was already evaporated by the extreme heat and light, revealing a dry, hollow seabed. The rocks on the seabed began to smoke and melt under the intense heat, emitting a pungent sulfurous odor. The defenses erected by the sea monsters crumbled instantly like paper before this extreme heat and speed. The water barrier evaporated into vapor, the ice walls melted into streams of water, and the black barrier burst into flames. The only thing it did was make them truly feel the approach of death, their eyes filled with despair.

The mermaid's beautiful face was contorted with fear. Without thinking, she raised her right hand, holding the divine artifact she had been clutching tightly and yearning for so long before her, attempting to activate it as a shield. This was her last hope; facing the imminent threat of death, the only defense she could think of was this treasure from ancient times. But the artifact, which had been so readily available before, suddenly became unresponsive, even slipping from her trembling hand and drifting away with the current like an ordinary piece of metal.

Before the mermaid could even be shocked, light and heat had already engulfed her vision, passing through her beautiful face, through the crystal kingdom that the Deep Sea Lord was so proud of and the fragile core of his brain, through Esther's enormous heart, which was as big as a small house, as she tried to turn and run away... and then, boom!

A pure white sun rose from the sea, its intense light blinding, a breathtaking sight visible even in the port of White City. This light spread from what could no longer be called near-shore, causing the sea to boil, rocks to melt, and everything tangible to vanish in its heat and light. Whether it was the Deep Sea Lord and the Dragon Bone Lord, who had slain "gods," the cunning and deceptive Sea King Mermaid, or Esther, the supreme ruler of White City and the near-monopolistic "Lord of the Seven Seas Trade," all were utterly annihilated by this attack, leaving not a trace.

Where they once stood, only a vast underwater cavity remains, which will be named the Star of Redemption.

Chapter 315: The Mermaid's Glass Song (6995 words)

In the endless clear sky, a slightly exhausted Zhuang Sen's face was wet with sweat. It was the Snow Bear Queen, who had broken free from Esther's control. She smiled sweetly at Zhuang Sen, who was looking at her from the side, before her figure dissipated into scattered streams of light and fell into the sea. Zero condensed his upper body and embraced Zhuang Sen. The part of him that was clinging to him began to squeeze the now-recovered Zhuang Sen again, while explaining the Snow Bear Queen's situation to him: "Don't worry, she just went back to rest. [Pure Purification] is down there."

Zhuang Sen nodded, catching the flying Missy. She was already unharmed; the [Wall of Sighs] wasn't like the Silver Chariot, so it didn't have the side effect of injuring the main body. At this moment, her eyes shone with an intense thirst for knowledge far exceeding the aforementioned feelings of reverence, joy, and affection. She eagerly kissed Zhuang Sen: "Darling, how did you do that? That's something no level five bloodline could do! Even in Sister Zero's database, I've never seen an ability with such power!"

Because ultimate evolution requires the combined use of three relics and the system, something even monster girls can't do. Zero's database is filled with records from the monster girls, so naturally there's no actual data... although even if there were, Zero wouldn't make it available to anyone other than Zhuang Sen.

However, now that Zhuang Sen has completed his evolution, there is naturally no need to hide it. Moreover, the power he just unleashed was indeed quite shocking to him, and he wanted to tell someone about it. So, with Zero in his left arm and Missy in his right, he began to talk about his extreme maneuver just now.

Before he threw the Holy Lance, he activated the abilities of three [Inherited Angels], which corresponded to his three pairs of glowing wings.

The first pair of wings near his shoulders glowed blue, releasing an ability called [Wisdom Inheritance]. According to Zhuang Sen's will, it bestowed upon him all the auxiliary abilities possessed by the bloodlines he had personally awakened, as recorded in the [Relic - Eternal Inheritance]. This included all the angelic bloodlines from [Rankless Angel] onwards, the [Tall and Dwarf] bloodline, the [Centaur] bloodline, and so on. All the abilities existing within these bloodlines were automatically applied to him, even those that originally conflicted and could not coexist; now they all functioned normally and stably.

The second pair of wings on his ribs lit up with a white light, releasing an ability called [Power Inheritance]. Like the [Wisdom Inheritance] above, this time it superimposed the physical attributes of all bloodlines, ignoring conflicts and simply and brutally superimposing them onto Zhuang Sen's body.

The third and final pair of wings at the waist glowed with silver light, releasing an ability called [Eternal Inheritance]. This ability superimposed all the existing physical attributes and abilities of the monster girls Zhuang Sen had developed, including those in his lair, onto Zhuang Sen. Naturally, it also ignored any conflicts or contradictions.

With all three factors combined, Zhuang Sen didn't know how to describe the feeling he had just experienced. He only knew that he suddenly felt he had been a bit too cautious before; he should have just shot them all out earlier—just kidding. How could he deal with Dragon Bone Duke without finding a good opportunity? There must still be some problem with the King of No Light, especially the high wall that Zhuang Sen sensed deep within the consciousness of the ancient demons during the last vote. It bothered him a lot, so Zhuang Sen didn't want to break ties with her for the time being.

But there's no need to dwell on these things now, since the matter has been resolved, and all that remains is...

boo~

A blue metallic cube flew out from the seabed, piercing the water towards Zhuang Sen. It was clear she intended to reach his hands, but with Zhuang Sen's arms occupied, she accelerated and crashed directly into his embrace. However, even this last resort failed. A silver metallic object rapidly spread out, blocking her path and catching her firmly. Zero's pretty face was filled with a smug, mischievous smile, transforming her from a perfect and elegant maid into an arrogant little brat.

"Oh my, isn't this our mermaid princess? How can she be so shameless as to throw herself into someone else's arms?"

The blue metal cube trembled rapidly. Although she didn't speak, Zhuang Sen felt that she must have been swearing venomously.

He opened the system panel and retrieved the [Relic - Pure Evolution]. A new Limit Evolution lit up, but even brighter was the blue mermaid that sprang out from the blue metal cube. Although he had seen this face before when Zero was disguised, Zhuang Sen realized that even Zero's disguise had its limits when he actually faced it.

The mermaid had long, seaweed-like hair, its strands as fine as silk, flowing smoothly over her fair shoulders, the ends slightly curled and glistening with a faint sheen. A gentle breeze stirred, causing her hair to sway softly, the ends brushing against her delicate collarbone, leaving a cool touch. She wore a blue tank top, the fabric studded with sparkling rhinestones that reflected iridescent light in the sunlight. Beneath her slanted bangs, a pair of large, clear, azure eyes, like the purest gems of the deep sea, were crystal clear, their corners slightly upturned, carrying a touch of natural allure. Below her delicate nose were cherry-red lips, full and rounded like ripe cherries, both lovely and refined.

Her pure and lively facial features extended downwards to her high, firm, snow-white breasts. The skin was more delicate and fair than the finest clam meat, so moist and juicy that it seemed as if a gentle touch would cause it to drip water. Her rhinestone-studded blouse barely covered the center, leaving her breasts completely exposed. With each breath, her chest rose and fell, her breasts trembled gently, swaying in alluring arcs that were impossible to look away from. Beneath these incredibly alluring peaks was a flat, smooth abdomen, her skin reflecting a dazzling luster under the clear blue sky, as if the white sun Zhuang Sen had just created still lingered, leaving its warm mark on her body.

Below her lower abdomen was a gradient fishtail, gradually transitioning from a bright blue to a deep-sea dark hue, with a faint silver sheen at the edge of the tail fin. The scales were fine and smooth, the transition from bright to muted natural and soft; each scale was like a meticulously crafted gem, shimmering with a mysterious luster under the light, stirring the heart. Combined with the mermaid's cute, lively, and sexy aura, it was hard not to feel a sense of protectiveness and tenderness.

—The insults were really vulgar.

“Zero, you ‘mermaid swear word’—I’m just giving you a piece of scrap metal that’s been pieced together for nothing, you son of a bitch, you really are a ‘mermaid swear word’…”

Zhuang Sen admitted that he is no longer the most swearing person.

However, facing the enraged mermaid who seemed to want to devour her alive, Zero easily turned enemy into friend with just one action—she slightly loosened her grip on Zhuang Sen's aura, releasing the chaotic scent lingering within her from "squeezing" him earlier. That scent, mixed with Zhuang Sen's aura, held a fatal attraction for the monster girl.

The mermaid, who had just been itching to devour Zero, froze on the spot, and said in a strained voice, "Oh~ my dear Zero, I knew our feelings for each other would never change~"

Zero chuckled: "Who are you calling 'little sister'? You're the little sister now!"

The mermaid's stunningly beautiful face froze for a moment, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her cherry lips revealed perfectly white teeth as she glared fiercely at Zero, her expression strangely endearing. Zero, however, remained unmoved, even deliberately puffing out her chest and pulling Zhuang Sen closer. The mermaid's expression grew increasingly strained, her cheeks puffed out, and she seemed about to utter the words "sister" when Zero suddenly trembled. Her condensed upper body quivered like molten silver, enveloping Zhuang Sen's muscular frame once more, leaving only alluring moans and gasps filling the air.

With Zero no longer interfering, Zhuang Sen finally faced the mermaid. He freed one hand and extended it to her, the sunlight falling on his palm, warm and bright: "Hello, I'm Zhuang Sen. Hmm, you should have seen me before?"

The mermaid who had just been criticizing Zero from the production line to the parts supplier blushed instantly, like a boiled shrimp, even her ears turning pink. She stammered, twisting her fingers, her voice barely audible: "I, I am Rurika, I mean, I've seen you—in, in Zero's disguise..."

Zhuang Sen was somewhat surprised. He shook his still-empty hand and said with a smile, "It's my honor, Miss Liuli Ge."

Liulige's face flushed even more, as if it were burning with flames. She quickly reached out her slender, graceful fingers to grasp Zhuang Sen's hand, but her fingertips passed right through his large hand, leaving only a faint, cool sensation, like touching a thin mist. Visibly, Liulige's flushed face instantly turned deathly pale, her small mouth pouting in resentment, like a wronged child, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, swirling around in their sockets.

Unlike Zero, who is a cyborg and whose body is the [Relic? Eternal Inheritance], the [Relic? Pure Purification] only contains Rurika's soul. As the "spirit" of the relic, she doesn't seem to have the ability to manifest as a physical form like the [Ghost Girl]—meaning that even if Zhuang Sen stood naked in front of her, she could only look but not touch. Thinking of this, Rurika's cute little mouth completely pursed, and large pearls finally couldn't help but flow from the corners of her eyes, glistening and floating in the air, reflecting a sorrowful light. Her tearful appearance was truly pitiful.

"Idiot." Zero's voice came from Zhuang Sen, calm but ruthless. "Don't you even remember how I blocked you just now?"

Liuli Ge's sobbing abruptly stopped, as if a pause button had been pressed. She blinked her wet eyes, looked at the metal body encasing Zhuang Sen in Zero, then at Zhuang Sen's outstretched hand, and suddenly realized something. Her pretty face flushed red, spreading from her ears all the way to her neck, and her beautiful eyes instantly filled with expectation as she looked at Zhuang Sen, like a little animal waiting to be fed.

Ling groaned and detached herself from Zhuang Sen, reforming into a perfectly elegant maid. Her pretty face flushed an alluring blush, and her long maid dress was still stained with large patches of milky liquid, clinging to her body and outlining her graceful curves, making her incredibly seductive. A part of her body separated, transforming into an exquisite floating cabin. The cabin's walls were made of translucent silver metal, and an ambiguous pink light illuminated the interior, completely blocking outside view. Under the light, Liulige's face became even more rosy, like a ripe peach, her shy appearance captivating. She occasionally stole glances at Zhuang Sen, her ten slender fingers intertwined in front of her lower abdomen, almost binding together, her fingertips trembling slightly.

Zhuang Sen found it amusing and was about to break the sweet awkwardness—he was already used to being pushed down by monster girls on the spot, so it was quite novel to push down a monster girl he was meeting for the first time. But just as he was about to move, he felt the metal at his waist tug gently, followed by Zero's mocking voice: "Aren't you going to make a move? Do you want your darling to take the initiative? Do you want me to help you push your butt, little sister?"

Liulige retorted instinctively, "Pah! Who asked you to be so flashy? This little house is so stuffy!"

"What, you like being watched?" Ling raised an eyebrow, her tone full of teasing. "There's a whole city of people outside. Should I open the walls and let everyone admire the mermaid princess's shy demeanor?"

"You're the one who likes being watched, you blockhead!" Ruri glared at Zero angrily, her fishtail slapping the air. "Is your stuffy, rigid body the only way to block someone's view? Watch this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, countless drops of seawater rose from the surface below, like a blue curtain, bursting through Zero's little house. The seawater gently enveloped her and Zhuang Sen, forming a giant water sphere. The outer layer of water churned violently, like a flowing barrier, using its heavy distance and deep blue color to block out all vision. Zhuang Sen couldn't even see Zero and Missy clearly outside; all he could see was the stunningly beautiful mermaid slowly shimmering in the dark depths of the sea, her skin sparkling like pearls in the water's light.

"Darling, my love..." Alone, Liulige's shyness returned, her voice trembling slightly as it traveled through the water, creating tiny ripples. This time, Zhuang Sen didn't hesitate, taking her hands in his. The angel's warm, large hands touched and closed with the mermaid's cool, smooth hands. The warmth made Liulige tremble slightly; her fingers curled up, gripping Zhuang Sen's hands tightly.

"Is your relationship with Zero good or bad?" Zhuang Sen asked with a light laugh, his fingertips tracing the cool back of her hand, feeling the delicate texture of her skin. Taking advantage of Liuli Ge's pouty face, he pulled her forcefully into his arms. Zhuang Sen, who had just been "exploited" by Zero, was covered in the scent of excited hormones, mixed with the smell of sunshine and sweat, making Liuli Ge instantly go limp, her body leaning against him as if boneless, her eyes glazed as she answered in a trembling voice, "Hmph, it's just a tragic fate... He's clearly younger than me, and joined the Relic Project later than me, yet he always tries to boss me around..."

"Oh? So my little Liuli is quite old?" Zhuang Sen lowered his head, his nose brushing against her long, sea-blue hair, smelling a faint scent of sea salt mixed with floral fragrance. He cradled Liuli's pert, full buttocks, covered in scales, with one hand, his fingertips feeling the cool, smooth texture of the scales. His other hand slid down her smooth back to between her high, firm breasts, gently pinching the rosy nipples.

"Mmm~" The ancient, virgin mermaid let out a soft, seductive moan. Her body tensed at first from the stimulation, then quickly went limp. Her pretty face flushed red, like the most radiant sunrise, and her breathing became rapid. She instinctively wrapped her arms around Zhuang Sen's strong body, her arms entwined around his neck, emitting soft moans, her voice as sweet as honeyed seawater.

"She's so easily teased." Zhuang Sen chuckled inwardly, finding it hard to reconcile the shy little mermaid before him with the arrogant mermaid who had just been arguing with Zero, displaying her linguistic talent—or so it had been, until he felt a soft touch on his chest. Looking down, he saw Liuli Ge secretly sticking out her tongue, licking his chest like a kitten, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Sure enough, his mermaid couldn't be that naive.

Zhuang Sen chuckled softly, and with a single forceful movement, lifted Liuli Ge, who was feigning death while secretly taking advantage of him, high into the air. She gasped, her body tracing a graceful arc in the air, her fishtail instinctively wrapping around Zhuang Sen's waist. Zhuang Sen kissed her domineeringly, his warm lips covering her cool ones. Liuli Ge's lips stiffened at first, then softened, and she took Zhuang Sen's lips into hers, even sticking out her little tongue. Seemingly bold and skilled, her movements were actually less clumsy than Little Piper's first time, and Zhuang Sen easily countered her. His tongue, like a great snake, coiled around her restless little tongue, sucking and entwining wantonly, saliva mingling between their lips and teeth, making ambiguous, watery sounds, giving even the mermaid in her spirit form a suffocating pleasure.

Amidst their passionate kiss, Zhuang Sen skillfully removed Liu Lige's simple yet luxurious clothing with a single hand. Her silk camisole slipped down, revealing her exquisite body. In the dark, flowing water, only her fair skin shimmered, like white jade under moonlight, captivating all who beheld it. Zhuang Sen's manhood, already erect and throbbing, was now oozing with excitement. With a mischievous glint in his eye, Zhuang Sen grasped Liu Lige's small hand, guiding her fingertips across his burning member, smearing the viscous fluid onto her palm.

The scalding heat and sticky liquid made Liulige's breathing quicken, her cheeks flushing red as if they were about to bleed. Her passionate kiss grew increasingly urgent, her small, fragrant tongue actively exploring Zhuang Sen's mouth, as if trying to take the whole thing in to ease the pounding in her heart.

"Where is it?" Zhuang Sen's right hand reluctantly slid from her breast to her fishtail. The fine, cool scales felt smooth to the touch, carrying a unique ocean scent; each scale was like a meticulously polished gem. For the first time, Liulige took Zhuang Sen's hand, guiding it to the center of her fishtail near her buttocks. Her fingertips trembled slightly as she gently peeled back the scales covering her private parts, revealing her already incredibly moist, pink vulva. The petals trembled slightly, secreting a clear liquid that slowly spread in the water. Her voice trembled with a hint of anticipation: "Darling...you won't abandon me, will you?"

“You should say, ‘If you dare to abandon me, you’re dead.’” Zhuang Sen slightly arched his back, his large, nimble body rubbing against the fine scales as he moved forward, pressing against the entrance of Liuli Ge’s flower cave. Water flowed gently, moistening the narrow entrance, making it soft and wet, easier to penetrate. His voice was deep and gentle, carrying the weight of a promise: “Because that’s what I usually say to my wives.”
