From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 550 - 350: The Drastic Change of the Sea Demon Clan_2
Chapter 550: Chapter 350: The Drastic Change of the Sea Demon Clan_2
In other words, the resurrection of Flame Demon Gross does not pose a direct threat to the Sea Demon Clan.
On the contrary, sealing Gros Embers in the Deep Freeze Sea Trench led to a rise in seawater temperature, disrupting the Sea Demon Clan’s habitat.
From this perspective, releasing Flame Demon Gross to seek revenge on the Black Iron Dwarves aligns with the interests of the Sea Demon Clan.
This is why Onatu has gained much support from the Sea Demons.
High Priestess Sona’s expression grew increasingly serious as she questioned, "Flame Demon Gross may not threaten our tribe’s fate, but what about the Abyss? Have you considered the Abyssal issue?"
Onatu waved his hand and responded, "That’s another matter. Things must be handled one at a time. First, resolve the issue with the Black Iron Dwarves and Flame Demon Gross, then address the Abyssal pollution."
Sona took a deep breath, forcing herself to remain calm, and asked, "What about the other two demands?"
Onatu continued, "Secondly, issue a hunt order to pursue the Human Recruiters, prohibiting them from approaching the Deep Freeze Sea Trench and our territorial waters.
"Thirdly, even if Sarian has signed a reconciliation agreement with the Black Iron Dwarves, it doesn’t matter.
"The Black Iron Dwarves’ doomsday is upon them, and whether or not we reconcile does not affect the ensuing matters.
"But one requirement stands: if the Black Iron Dwarves call for our tribe’s aid, the High Priest cannot assist them under any circumstances."
Sona, after hearing his demands, had already guessed what would happen next.
He even preemptively blocked the aid to the Black Iron Dwarves.
The reason for this demand was simple.
Once Flame Demon Gross resurrects, a battle with the Black Iron Dwarves is inevitable at the Molten Crown.
In this world, the Sea Demon Clan is best equipped to counter Flame Demon Gross.
Because the Sea Demon Clan wields the world’s most potent Oceanic powers, and water restrains flames, the Sea Demon Clan is naturally Gross’s nemesis.
If Flame Demon Gross revives and clashed with the Black Iron Dwarves, the Dwarves might likely ask the Sea Demon Clan for help.
Onatu had foreseen this, hence he stipulated this requirement in advance.
Sona pondered deeply and coldly asked, "What if I disagree with your demands?"
Onatu bowed his head and replied, "Then I must ask the High Priestess to temporarily relinquish the [Heart of the Tides], which I will safeguard. Once the matter with Flame Demon Gross is resolved, I will seek forgiveness from the High Priestess."
Sona clenched her fists and angrily exclaimed, "Onatu!"
Onatu said solemnly, "High Priestess, time is of the essence. Please decide quickly. Agree to my demands, and I will merely safeguard the [Heart of the Tides]. Once the Black Iron Dwarves are destroyed, you will still be the master of the Vasqi Temple."
"Onatu!" Sona’s gaze turned icy as she lifted the Sea God’s Scepter, stamped it heavily on the ground, and unleashed a whirlpool, trapping Onatu in mid-air.
Onatu spread his arms, allowing High Priestess Sona to confine him, and said, "High Priestess, you can kill me, but everything I’ve done is for the future of the tribe."
Seeing Sona take action, the other two Sea Demon Tribes’ Elders and Priests joined in, releasing water currents, Ice Crystal Harpoons, and various attack techniques at Sona.
Sona raised her palm, unleashing the power of the [Heart of the Tides] to erect a water curtain shield, repelling the attacks.
Both sides fought cautiously, unwilling to damage the temple’s decorations.
After all, this was their Sea Demon Clan’s temple, the most sacred place in Sea Demon hearts.
Although both sides fought with restraint, the level of power unleashed was by no means low.
The collision of water flows rippled energy waves, shaking the entire sea region.
High Priestess Sona furiously shouted, "Are you also going to rebel?"
The two Sea Demon Elders responded gravely, "We are also doing this for the future of the tribe, Sona; you’re not suited for the position of High Priestess."
In the Sea Demon Clan, each generation’s High Priest of the Vasqi Tribe was selected as the strongest Wavecaller from the tribe to inherit the [Heart of the Tides].
Sona was the most powerful Wavecaller among the Sea Demons, possessing the ability to control the entire sea region’s waters.
She could easily stir the tides, but faced with fellow Sea Demons, she couldn’t bring herself to deal a killing blow.
The battle continued, the emerging energy shaking the entire temple.
The whole Sea Demon Clan was instantly in a state of panic; they knew something significant was happening in the temple, but it was beyond their involvement.
As the attacks’ intensity grew, the temple’s columns began to show cracks.
High Priestess Sona’s face filled with anger as she harnessed the Sea God Gem’s power, blasting a Trench Tide Sea Demon Elder away with a gush of water.
The Trench Tide Sea Demon Elder was knocked back, hit the temple wall, and spat out blood.
The blood instantly dyed the seawater red, filling the entire temple with the scent of blood.
The High Priest of the Trench Tide Sea Demons, seeing his Elder heavily injured and near death, furiously shouted, "Sona, why are you so soft-hearted with outsiders and so cruel to your kin?"
Sona also saw the grievously injured Trench Tide Sea Demon Elder, her heart trembled, she sighed, and slowly withdrew the Sea God’s power.
Once the battle ended, the Sea Demons of both tribes immediately approached, surrounding Sona and demanding she turn over the [Heart of the Tides].
If Sarian were here, she would have chosen to entrust the [Heart of the Tides] to Sarian, but now Sarian was absent, handling peace talks with the Black Iron Dwarves.
If the [Heart of the Tides] were handed over to the Trench Tide Sea Demons and Shallows Sea Demons, retrieving it later would be problematic.
At that point, the Sea Demon Clan’s internal power structure would undergo significant changes.
Thinking it over, Sona had no choice but to hand over the [Heart of the Tides] to Onatu.
Onatu knelt on one knee, received the Sea God’s Scepter with both hands, and accepted it respectfully: "I shall safeguard the [Heart of the Tides] and return it to the High Priestess once the Flame Demon affair is over."
Sona didn’t want internecine conflict within the Sea Demon Clan, so she waved her hand and closed her eyes.
...
Elsewhere.
On Moon Mud Beach.
The talks between the Black Iron Dwarves and the Sea Demon Clan had ended.
Sarian was about to return to the temple to report when she received urgent intel from her subordinates.
As the Wavecaller Elder of the Sea Demon Clan, Sarian held a high status among the Sea Demons, no less than Onatu. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
She even had a chance to be the next High Priestess.
However, High Priestess Sona was still at her strongest, and it was too early to speak of replacing her.
Among the tribe’s guards, many were Sarian’s confidants.
Thus, when something happened at the Vasqi Temple, she, although at Moon Mud Beach, was the first to receive the news.
However, the distance from Moon Mud Beach to the temple was such that the fastest travel would take over half a day. There was nothing she could do now.
In incidents like these coup attempts, whether successful or not, they don’t last long.
Once High Priestess Sona is defeated, and if Onatu and the other two Sea Demon Tribes seize power, by the time she returns, she might be arrested.
