In the Kingdom of Atlantis, within the pure white palace.
Inside the grand hall, before the throne.
Her Scarlet hair behind her wildly danced in the seawater, and Blackened Mera's slender, fair right hand gripped a dark scythe conjured from thin air. The scythe's tip pierced and lifted a figure—the most powerful being in Atlantis at that moment.
The Atlantis armor was easily torn apart like paper, just as a giant wave would effortlessly devastate and strike the Marine Biology Museum.
His body was slowly lifted into the water, Orm's handsome face filled with disbelief. Due to his body violently arching backward, the golden crown on his head seemed to be on the verge of falling.
A large amount of crimson blood overflowed from his chest and back, staining the surrounding seawater red as it surged back.
"Why…"
Orm couldn't believe it, couldn't accept that just a moment ago he was full of vigor, preparing to unify the ocean, and now he was about to be killed by the beautiful woman he considered his forbidden plaything.
"Orm, weren't you seeking revenge on humans? Now you've provoked me, so I'm taking revenge on you. Isn't that a perfectly natural thing to do?"
Blackened Mera stood motionless, holding the dark scythe, and spoke softly to the reigning King of the Underwater World.
"Who are you…"
Orm hadn't finished his sentence.
Blackened Mera swung the dark scythe backward, and Orm's hunched body immediately flew backward, stirring the seawater into a murky crimson where he passed, and crashing heavily onto the magnificent and vast main hall below the steps!
The palace, situated ten thousand meters deep in the ocean, was utterly silent!
From the moment Mera, controlled by Vincent's parasitism, arrived at the throne until she attacked Your Highness Orm, less than three short seconds had passed.
The Royal Guards of Atlantis standing guard around the palace, including Nereus, the King of Xebel, who was seated in the guest chair, everyone on the scene was frozen in place as if turned to stone. No one could have predicted Mera would act this way.
After one or two seconds of silence, the interior of the palace erupted like a Hive!
"Your Highness Orm!!!"
"Seize Mera of Xebel!"
"Quickly call for reinforcements, Mera assassinated Your Highness Orm!!"
The seawater churned in a chaotic frenzy.
Over a dozen Royal Guards, clad in metal armor and wielding trident weapons, charged forward in the water with incredible speed, full of rage, surrounding Blackened Mera, who still stood on the platform, from all directions. Each one was like a human swordfish bursting with ferocity, their crisscrossing killing intent making the palace interior as cold as a frozen hell!
"Mad, mad! Mera, do you know what you're doing?!"
Nereus, who had risen from his guest seat, was trembling all over, not knowing what to do.
Although as a father he wanted to save his daughter, if he were to act now, it would inevitably trigger a brutal war between the two great kingdoms!
Killing Your Highness Orm, the ruler, in the palace of the Kingdom of Atlantis, this was far worse than the incident twenty years ago when the Queen of Atlantis fell in love with a human man!
Facing the dozen approaching Royal Guards, Blackened Mera showed no intention of dodging, merely pushing her hands outward with a sudden force.
"Don't kill them!" Mera's inner thought cried out in time.
Following her inner thought.
With Blackened Mera's body as the center, the surrounding seawater powerfully swept outward. The dozen Royal Guards, before they could even reach her, were flung, men and weapons alike, against the inner walls of the palace by the seawater!
Blackened Mera lightly raised her palm, and a trident was immediately caught by the seawater, perfectly grasped in her hand.
Weighing the trident weapon in her hand, Blackened Mera casually threw it towards Orm, who was not yet dead in the main hall. The trident cut through the seawater, transforming into a white water arrow!
"Your Highness Orm!"
The Royal Guards on the ground cried out in alarm.
Just as the trident was about to pierce Orm's head, a tall and robust black figure rushed into the palace through the main entrance with extreme speed!
The figure single-handedly picked up the severely injured and dying Orm from the ground, and immediately returned the way they came, heading out through the palace's main entrance. The trident weapon grazed past his side at high speed, carrying blood, and impaled itself on the palace floor, tearing a slit in the black cloak he wore and the shoulder underneath!
The black figure let out a pained grunt, moving swiftly through the water, carrying Orm out of the palace, and vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Oh, who was that?" Blackened Mera showed a surprised expression. That person's speed in the water was probably even faster than Orm's, who was of royal blood!
"I don't know, I don't know who he is…"
Mera's inner thought cried out in alarm.
She had been in Atlantis for so long, and she truly didn't know that such a You-Know-Who was hidden in the palace.
"Never mind, Orm won't live much longer anyway." Vincent didn't care about this.
Under the characteristics of the Flerken race, the wounds caused by his Talon would never heal!
With Orm's penetrating and severe injury, even if Atlantis's technology was advanced, it would be impossible to save him.
"Right, I should escape too."
Vincent subtly moved Mera's body, and as the seawater around them boiled and burst, she shot out towards the palace gate like a crimson-black stream of light!
"Stop her! Don't let her get away!"
The Underwater World soldiers who had rushed over upon hearing the news tried to block her, but a surge of seawater surged around Blackened Mera, causing dozens of soldiers to be knocked over and scattered!
Forget about stopping her, they couldn't even get close!
Today.
All Atlanteans outdoors could look up and see a black figure carrying a swift undercurrent soaring rapidly over the Kingdom, constantly accelerating as if without limit, until it crashed into the fully sealed national gate.
Bang!!!
The woman's body strength was astonishingly unnatural, destroying everything with the surging seawater around her, directly shattering the energy shield of the gate, and escaping from the Kingdom of Atlantis!
However, rather than saying she escaped, it was more accurate to say she forcibly broke out!
Looking at the flickering energy light of the Kingdom's gate and the chaotic laser cannons outside, many Atlantean residents were stunned into speechlessness.
And very quickly, when the news of Your Highness Orm's assassination spread from the palace, the entire nation was in an uproar!
Princess Mera of the Kingdom of Xebel had severely wounded Your Highness Orm to the brink of Death, and Mera had even successfully escaped the Kingdom?
Are your ears broken, or am I hallucinating?
The people of the Underwater World who heard this news were dumbfounded.
The Atlantis army went even crazier, dispatching armed warships, determined to overturn the entire ocean and arrest the criminal Mera back to the country!
And when this major assassination news reached the other Underwater World kingdoms, it also caused a tsunami-like sensation!
The second strongest nation, Xebel, was both shocked and enraged. On one hand, they didn't know why Princess Mera would do such a thing. On the other hand, the King of Xebel, who was also in the palace at the time, was arrested by Atlantis!
It could be said.
From the moment Blackened Mera attacked Orm, the entire Underwater World was completely shattered!
