Hero World.
While the people of the Super Continent enjoyed a rare period of peaceful life,
a brutal, bloody war was raging roughly fifteen kilometers east of J City's coastline, two hundred meters beneath the sea, where the light was dim.
The two sides were tens of millions of Deep Sea Folk and several hundred thousand robots.
Tiger had been leading the former as the new Deep Sea King these past few days.
He had promised to help them destroy the latter and reclaim the undersea cities they depended on for survival.
Although Tiger knew that, once the World Government took over, most of the Deep Sea Folk would certainly be relocated to Sea Star.
After all, the entire planet had become far too empty following the "Five-Star Sea Unification."
So even if they reclaimed these cities, they would still end up abandoned.
But leaving them unused and having them stolen were two different matters.
Moreover, Tiger wanted to further strengthen his ties with the Deep Sea Folk by fighting alongside them.
Once they reached Sea Star, they would naturally become closer to Fish-Man Island.
Unlike those so-called oceanic Danger Beasts, who gave priority to Black Marlin's orders.
Fortunately, Neptune had received the faith artifact, the Trident of the Sea God, from Lord Imu.
Even Black Marlin did not dare go too far, at most putting on an obedient face while secretly defying him.
But it still dared demand whatever benefits it felt entitled to, such as having its Black Ice City designated one of the Twelve Sea Cities.
Naturally, Neptune did not refuse in order to ease his relationship with Black Marlin.
Black Marlin also tactfully announced that it recognized Neptune as the leader of the Sea Folk.
Thus, the internal conflicts among the Sea Folk were basically resolved.
