What was even more important was that Her Majesty Theresa’s bloodline was also that of the Sirens!

Theresa had evidently discovered this when Alice arrived here and was quite curious why her own kin would serve humans.

“As a noble-blooded Siren, why do you submit to a mere human?”

Hearing this, the usually calm Alice showed a rare moment of anger, “Lord Ji Chen is not an ordinary person.”

Theresa chuckled and shook her head. “If we talk about the ability to move in the water as a human, he might be considered exceptional, but it ends there.

As members of the Siren race, our bloodline has been incredibly noble since ancient times, and we should not serve any outsiders. If you wish, I allow you to return to the tribe and join the Kingdom of Heraklion. This is your home.” Without hesitation, Alice shook her head. “My home is in the Crown of the Ocean, not here.”

“Lady Theresa, is it not impolite to speak on behalf of Alice without asking for my opinion?” Ji Chen said with an unkind tone. “Is this how the Kingdom of Heraklion, or even the sea clans, behaves, domineering and arrogant?”

To be honest, Ji Chen was getting angry.

This behavior of blatantly poaching in front of him, undermining him, was simply disrespectful.

He hadn’t been so angered in a long time!

!!..

Theresa gradually restrained her smile, her eyes showing a hint of indifference and mild anger.

It had been a long time since any living being dared to speak to her like this, not even the demons dared, let alone a mere human.

She was naturally familiar with the human race, weak, cowardly, opportunistic, and fond of killing each other. The achievements they had created in this era paled in comparison even to the savage and impulsive orcs.

Not to mention compared to the great sea clans.

She admitted that this human might indeed possess some power, but it was limited to this extent. In the vast expanse of the ocean, her sea people were the absolute rulers!

Theresa slowly rose from her throne, looking down on Ji Chen like a god overlooking a mortal, with a hint of disdain in her gaze.

Suddenly, the sea surged like boiling water, and the momentum, as if a thousand tons of water pressure, pressed down on Ji Chen.

She wanted to give this human, who didn’t know his place, a little lesson.

Perhaps in doing so, the young kin who had been deceived by this smooth-talking human could wake up and return to the embrace of the tribe.

The sea clan nobles and officials at the table all showed excitement at this sight. They had long since found this human displeasing, but they had temporarily tolerated him because of Her Majesty Theresa’s reluctance to take action.

As for when the displeasure started… it was probably from the moment this human entered here, not looking up at them with respectful eyes, not bowing and kneeling in the manner they desired.

This world is a place where the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and the strong can freely oppress the weak. The weak must grovel at the feet of the strong!

And their sea clan, of course, are the strong. Humans, naturally, are the weak!

Ji Chen looked at the sea clan nobles and officials who were enjoying his predicament, shaking his head.

The final question in his mind had finally been answered.

He finally understood why the sea clans, even though they had been wary of the demons tens of thousands of years ago, were still ultimately plundered.

Decaying and outdated thoughts had completely taken over their minds. They hid in the layers of the sea, thinking they could overlook the struggles of other races like gods, just like watching actors on a stage.

Their stagnant thinking prevented them from reacting to potential crises in a timely manner. They remained stuck in their past glory and achievements, closed-minded and complacent. Even when they saw danger, they still disregarded it.

Just like the elves tens of thousands of years later.

However, whether it was tens of thousands of years ago or tens of thousands of years later, one rule remained unchanged.

Only the strong had a say.

Before Theresa’s overwhelming force, an extreme azure light erupted like an atomic explosion. That sense of holiness and nobility far surpassed what any bloodline could offer.

It transcended the realm of bloodlines, existing in a higher dimension.

Compared to each other, one was earth, the other was the sky. One was mortal, the other divine.

Theresa’s face underwent a drastic change. This ruler who had ruled the glorious Kingdom of the Ocean for centuries, the strongest being in the epic realm, showed a shocked expression for the first time.

Her imposing aura involuntarily dissipated, her expression filled with astonishment and suspicion.

“The power of the ocean?

You actually control the power of the ocean!?”

Ji Chen didn’t speak, just calmly looked at her, but the fluctuations grew stronger, beginning to gain the upper hand.

Theresa seemed to have seen something she couldn’t believe, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.

Why?

Why could the power of the ocean be controlled by a human instead of their sea clan?

Clearly, their sea clan was the representative, executor, and guardian of the will of the ocean!

This was also something she had longed for. As long as she could control the power of the ocean, her realm of rule would cover a broader expanse of sea, and she would possess even greater power, perhaps even the opportunity to touch the unreachable supreme power.

Faced with this temptation, a hint of greed flashed in Theresa’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

The power of the ocean was a gift from the gods, a favor from the will of the ocean, not something to be barbarically seized or claimed as one’s own.

Theresa’s expression became extremely complex, and after a long while, she sighed heavily and sat back down, sounding somewhat resigned.

“Human, I acknowledge your strength, and I apologize for my earlier words. However, 1 cannot accept what you said earlier unless there is concrete evidence to prove it.”

The balance between offense and defense had shifted.

Ji Chen slowly retracted his power but still had an unpleasant expression on his face. He spoke in a cold tone, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. The survival of the sea clan depends on your decision.”

Theresa’s current mood was quite complicated, and she hesitated somewhat.

She was not completely without vigilance towards demons, and she knew that demons and evil factions were causing wars outside the ocean. However, she needed to consider the prevailing sentiments within the kingdom.

At present, most of the sea folk in the Heraklion Kingdom adopted a hands-off approach, refraining from getting involved and merely observing the conflicts from a distance. She also had to consider this perspective to a certain extent.

Moreover, it was mostly about interests. By using their natural resource and geographical advantages, the sea clan exported various resources and weapons to both the orderly divine faction and the evil faction, raking in massive profits.

Wouldn’t reckless involvement in the war result in a significant loss of profits?

Those sea clan nobles and officials certainly wouldn’t want that.

Furthermore, she was not entirely convinced by Ji Chen’s words. However, this human strangely controlled the power of the ocean.

The power of the ocean was bestowed by the will of the ocean. Maybe this human had received a warning from the will of the ocean about the demons’ conspiracy.

In an instant, countless thoughts raced through Theresa’s mind.

At this moment, a sea clan officer suddenly swam in from outside, wearing a somewhat panicked expression.

“Your Majesty! Demons have suddenly slaughtered our resource transportation team, looting all our supplies! They also destroyed our transit station on the sea surface!

Not a single soldier there survived!”

This announcement not only caused a commotion among the sea clan nobles and officials but even left Theresa stunned. She subconsciously looked at Ji Chen in the center of the room.

How could this be so coincidental? You just came to persuade, and the demons started attacking?

Ji Chen was also taken aback. What had gotten into those demons? Could it be that they were really planning to attack the sea clan?

But this didn’t make sense. They were currently engaged in fierce battles with elves and humans. How could they possibly divert their forces to provoke the sea clan?!

For some reason, Ji Chen suddenly remembered a tactical maneuver used by a certain country on Earth during a major war.

Although he didn’t understand what was happening, he took the opportunity to stoke the flames.

Ji Chen maintained his composure and spoke with a tone of regret.

“Those demons have finally taken action. The evil faction will never be satisfied with the status quo. Their goal is to destroy everything and spread the flames of war to every corner of the world, leaving no race or being untouched.”

He sighed, then continued, “It’s a pity for those brave sea clan soldiers…”

Theresa’s expression darkened, and then her eyes narrowed. There was anger in her voice as she addressed the sea clan nobles and officials who had been doing nothing.

“Everyone, go into high alert and prepare for battle. Seal off a hundred miles of the kingdom’s waters.

Send a troop over there.. I want an immediate explanation from the demons!”
