Chapter 1338 - 290: The Price (Part 2)

Still, the words stand, Wen Yu himself did not intend to pursue accountability, but this does not mean the Sea King Tribe does not need to pay a price—this is the punishment for choosing the wrong side.

The Sea King was wise. He used his own life and the great loss of his tribe’s power as a price to quell the consequences of choosing the wrong team, in exchange for a relatively relaxed survival environment for the remaining Sea King Tribe.

Reasonable and logical.

Thus, Wen Yu nodded.

"Okay."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Yu could even feel the air in the entire cave becoming tranquil.

"Then, my lord, I shall begin."

The Sea King spoke, and immediately, the seaweed in which the Sea King resided began to change!

...

The tribal consciousness is born from the collective will of every individual of the species.

Their state of existence is very similar to planetary consciousness, and often Wen Yu wondered if these tribal consciousness bodies are just weakened versions of planetary consciousness.

Correspondingly, their life forms also puzzled Wen Yu.

For instance, Luo Luo—Wen Yu was always curious how Luo Luo, who had no physical form, could be killed? Kill all the Ants? That was clearly unrealistic.

And now, what the Sea King was doing was the complete process of a tribal consciousness self-annihilation!

Countless bubbles emerged from the seaweed, and in the next second, the seaweed boiled, transforming from the shape of a dragon-headed octopus-tailed Ibira to the form of a Shark, then quickly morphing into various bizarre states, until ultimately, the seaweed converted into the Sea Demon Sea King’s form, and another dramatic change occurred!

Those various forms mixed together, rapidly transforming into an even stranger shape—Wen Yu couldn’t even describe that twisted and peculiar shape!

It had the characteristics of Ibira, and the appearance of the Sea Demon Sea King, but more of it was a strange look Wen Yu couldn’t name!

"Thank you for your mercy, my lord!"

The Sea King made a sound that was mixed and echoed, carrying a feeling of annoyance and irritation, while Wen Yu only squinted, stared closely at the Sea King’s transformation, and nodded lightly.

Wen Yu wanted to ignore these remaining issues, but since the Sea King was so cooperative, there was no harm in sparing them.

Thus, with a crisp "pop," it was as if a naughty child had burst a bubble.

The oddly shaped Sea King scattered to the ground right under Wen Yu’s nose...

...

Honestly, the scene was difficult for the witness to distinguish whether the Sea King was truly dead or faking it.

But Wen Yu’s instincts told him, this time, the Sea King was truly dead...

No spectacular curtain call, no grand death scene, but somehow, Wen Yu thought of Lin Haifeng’s moment of "seeking death."

The greater the ability, the greater the power, correspondingly, the greater the responsibility; they gave their lives for what they cared about, and Wen Yu respected them for this.

Just unfortunate, Wen Yu seemed to have nothing he cared about...

Outside the cave, two other Sea King Tribe members cried out mournfully— for them, the demise of the tribal consciousness was unmistakable.

But they just lamented, judging by their attitude when leading the way earlier, the Sea King’s decision to self-destruct was surely already predetermined.

Not for anything else, just to calm the victor’s rage—there truly was no clear right or wrong to discern!

Wen Yu’s perception ability divided, one fixed deep in the cave, while the other wrapped around the two Sea King Clan members outside.

With the Sea King’s demise, the bodies of these two Sea King Clan members quickly shrank, until they shrank about twenty percent, stabilizing.

Correspondently, their power shrank by about thirty percent.

With Ibira’s seal broken, the Sea King Tribe’s species innate talent was greatly diminished—this marked the weakening of individual strength.

But the true terror was yet to come!

The giant whale that had brought them here, waiting peacefully beside them like a dormant mountain, with the death of the Sea King, suddenly opened its eyes.

Its eyes larger than the entire body of the Sea King Clan, quickly transitioning from alertness to confusion, then from confusion back to alertness, it opened its mouth, releasing inaudible infrasound waves conveying its long-held anger and rage from being controlled!

The Sea King’s five skills had failed, and henceforth, the Sea King Tribe no longer had the power to control sea beasts!

And the first to retaliate was this giant whale, only second in rank to the former Ibira, the super deep-sea overlord!

Yet, the terrifying infrasound that left the two Sea King Clan members, and even Fang Yuqiong dizzy, was interrupted by another plain and ordinary voice.

"Scram! While I’m in a good mood..."

"Roar~~~ Roar~~~ Meow~~~"

Who knows how a whale can produce such a strange sound...

Anyway, the giant whale glared fiercely at the two Sea King Clan members, immediately swam away, shaking its head and tail toward the distance. Yes, from this behavior, it seems that the Sea King Clan’s future days will not be easy...

But this could be considered the negative effect of failing to choose a side, Wen Yu would not target the Sea King Tribe, but to offer them some privilege... that’s out of the question. Whether the Sea King Tribe will be exterminated by these out-of-control sea beasts depends on their fortune!

...

With the giant whale’s departure, the Sea King’s ancestral land returned to tranquility once more.

The two Sea King Clan members remained deeply entrenched in grief over the Sea King’s demise, unable to extricate themselves, while Fang Yuqiong only peeked around, curious about what Wen Yu was still waiting for.

This series of transformations overwhelmed Fang Yuqiong, to the extent that he didn’t understand what had truly happened.

Until Wen Yu’s voice reverberated from afar.

"Give me a drop of blood!"

After speaking, a mass of dark energy had already stretched to Fang Yuqiong’s view.

Fang Yuqiong didn’t ask much, merely extracted a drop of blood and placed it on the dark energy, afterward, the dark energy enveloped the drop of blood, retreating back to the cave depths.

The next moment, Fang Yuqiong keenly felt the ground starting to tremble and collapse, just as he thought it was an underwater volcanic eruption, a deafening dragon’s roar had already swept up!

"I have been sealed..."

"Whoosh~~~"

The pitch-dark screen rose high, blocking all internal sounds, for the moment, Fang Yuqiong was baffled, but upon seeing the troubled faces of the two Sea King Clan members, he understood that Lord Wen Yu seemed to be doing something quite significant...

...

Inside the pitch-dark screen, when the villain’s proclamation of "I have been sealed for XX years" resounded, Wen Yu immediately raised an eyebrow.

He already sensed that the sea monster named Ibira seemed to have some character flaws...
