Chapter 410: Chapter 57: The Shark People’s God, the Primordial Unihorn Shark

「The Royal City of the Shark People.」

At this moment, vast numbers of Shark People and even their kindred Sea Beasts were gathered here.

The Shark People gathered here numbered well over a million.

But despite such a massive gathering, most of them still wore expressions of lingering terror.

Without a doubt, these were the Shark People who had been defeated by the allied forces and driven back to their Royal City.

Every one of these beings possessed Extraordinary Power.

Most of them were Low Tier and Middle Tier, but there was also a considerable number of High Tier beings present.

Yet even the faces of these High Tier Shark People were filled with panic.

Because, at this very moment, the entire Royal City was completely besieged by the allied forces.

Gigantic figures, Half-Body projections, hung in the sky above the sea.

At the same time, countless unmanned submersibles hovered like floating war fortresses.

And around the Royal City, massive numbers of the allied Sea Race, clad in Battle Armor, surrounded the area in army group formations.

At the forefront of these army groups were the Saint Tier and High Tier beings of the Star Empire.

At least half of these individuals had revealed their true Sea Beast forms.

One after another, colossal creatures ranging from hundreds to thousands of meters in size hovered in the surrounding water.

They watched with predatory eyes, waiting only for the final order.

Then, they would launch the final, devastating strike against the Royal City of the Shark People.

"Exotic Creatures!!!"

"You damned Exotic Creatures, you have no idea what a terrible crime you’ve committed!"

"If you retreat now, my clan will act as if nothing happened. But if you insist on fighting my people to the death, then you will absolutely regret it!"

「High above the Royal City.」

The king of the Shark People, in his Demigod aspect, gazed at the Demigod projections of the Star Empire.

His expression was terribly grim, and his gaze darkened.

But even so, he did not dare to immediately launch a final counterattack against the legions of the Star Empire.

"Regret?"

The lead Demigod projection’s expression was calm.

"Enough. You primitive native, hurry and awaken your god."

"If you don’t awaken your god now, it will be too late for everything."

As the lead Demigod finished speaking, the other fifty Demigods surrounding him all began to smile.

Their smiles were filled with disdain, mockery, and the arrogance of a higher civilization looking down upon a lesser one.

The king of the Shark People saw it all.

"It seems you Exotic Creatures were after our great Father God from the very beginning, weren’t you?"

Suddenly, the king of the Shark People understood everything.

’No wonder these Exotic Creatures didn’t exterminate my people in the various regions. Instead, they herded them toward the Royal Capital.’

’So, the real reason was to force the Royal Court to awaken the Father God?’

’So, these Exotic Creatures want to hunt a deity?’

’Hunt a deity?’

’How utterly laughable.’

’But considering the power of these Exotic Creatures, and the fact that they’ve already revealed over fifty Demigods...’

’He refused to believe they were unaware of the might of his people’s Father God.’

’So, does that mean the power behind them is a deity as strong as the Father God?’

’Just like the many Ancient Races in other parts of the sea?’

’If that’s the case, then this situation is truly dire.’

Therefore, a wave of panic washed over not only the king of the Shark People, but also the Demigod and Saint Tier subjects at his side.

The gaze of the Shark People’s king flickered.

Just then, the Empire Demigod gave a noncommittal nod.

"Correct."

"Our Empire’s target is the Ancient Life behind you—what you call your god."

"So, a word of advice... if you’re smart, you should know what to do."

"Clan of an Exotic Ancient God, if you awaken your god, I believe your people still have a chance to survive in these waters."

"On this point, you should really try to trust us."

"After all, our Star Empire has always been magnanimous. Besides, we didn’t hunt your people to extinction in the other regions, now did we?"

"King of the Alien Race, choose!"

"Either awaken your god now, or wait until you are all dead, and then we will wait for your god to appear."

The Empire Demigod’s gaze was placid, without even a ripple of emotion.

Everything was for the mission, everything was for the Empire.

Toward the Clan of this Ancient Species, the soldiers and Deities of the Empire felt no particular hatred.

This was simply a war between civilizations, nothing more.

The Empire Demigod’s Spiritual Transmission was heard by all the Strong People among the nearby Shark People.

As a result, these Strong People began to waver.

At the same time, one of the Strong People was the first to send a Spiritual Transmission to the king of the Shark People.

"Your Majesty!"

"We... We have to awaken the Father God now!"

"These Exotic Creatures are too powerful! The situation no longer allows for hesitation!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! We don’t want to betray the Father God! We just need him to lead us in defeating these Exotic Creatures!"

"Exactly, Your Majesty! Now is truly the time to awaken the Father God! You’ve seen how incredibly powerful these Exotic Creatures are—they’ve come specifically for him!"

"If we don’t awaken the Father God, our clan will truly be left with nothing...!"

The Strong People among the Shark People began to send their transmissions one after another.

"Enough!"

"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re all thinking."

The king of the Shark People’s expression was foul.

But by now, he knew there was no peaceful way out of this.
