But under Tieshan's unquestionable protective posture and awe-inspiring majesty, all their doubts and shocks turned into the most instinctive obedience, quietly spreading out, occupying several key positions in the lair, and raising their vigilance to the extreme.
Kraken no longer paid attention to the outside world. He completely concentrated his mind and his consciousness sank into the mess inside his body.
Deep in Soul Bone, the energy of Sea Spear that had been initially "tamed" is slowly flowing. The new tenacity belonging to "Kraken" is now clearly and condensed like never before, driven by survival and responsibility.
Repair. Refining. Then... save the beast.
The consciousness sank deep into the Soul Bone, and the forest white Scorpion Tail greedily absorbed the pure energy that Sea Spear Douluo had initially transformed, and then turned it into a gentle Xiliu, slowly injected into Kraken's body that was riddled with holes. Under the protection of Tieshan's majestic Soul Power, the repair was finally on the right track.
The pain is still sharp, but the chaos is being extracted by Sisi. In this relatively smooth healing gap, some thoughts that have been temporarily shelved by the bloody battle and awakening shock naturally emerge.
Tieshan...Mo Yuan...
These two names, as close as the extension of blood, floated in his consciousness.
He condensed a trace of unstable Soul Power fluctuations and transmitted it to Tieshan, who was guarding silently like a mountain beside him.
"By the way...Tieshan."
The beast's one eye turned towards him.
"Why... you're the only one?" Kraken's "voice" was weak and stagnant, "'Mo Yuan'... where is he?"
The question is a bit vague. There is no clear image in the memory fragments, it is more like an intuition derived from instinct - there should not be only one follower of Tieshan.
Tieshan The light in the one eye seemed to be swallowed up by the ice and eternal silence at the bottom of the deep sea at that moment. The silence lasted for a moment, and the weight of the silence almost crushed the surrounding warm sea water.
"He..." Tieshan's voice was extremely low, each syllable seemed to be pried out from the bottom of the sea Rock, "During the battle when Master you fell, in order to protect the remaining clan members, and... Young Master, who was still a child at the time... he chose to burn Origin, detonating his own core."
Burn Origin and detonate the core.
There is no need for more description. Just these few words are enough to stir up a circle of cold and heavy ripples at the core of Kraken's withered Origin. An indescribable feeling A metaphorical emotion, mixed with despair, sadness and some distant anger, filled the air silently. There is no specific face or deeds of "him" in the memory, but the concepts of "sacrifice one's life to protect one's family" are enough to touch the deepest resonance.
"That's it..." In the end, he only conveyed these three words, and all the emotions were compressed in this brief fluctuation.
After a while, as if to disperse the heavy silence, or perhaps because he really cared, Kraken spoke again, with an imperceptible hint of... awkwardness in his tone.
"By the way... Tieshan, at that time... you were the one who suddenly rushed over, shouting 'Young Master', and wanted to fight..." He paused and seemed to be considering his words. The white Scorpion Tail curled up slightly unconsciously, "He is...?"
Tieshan's huge body stiffened almost imperceptibly. An extremely complicated light flashed in his single eye - grief, tenderness, reminiscence, and a hint of unspeakable embarrassment when faced with "my king"'s questioning at this moment.
"He..." Tieshan's voice became even lower, almost like he was sighing at the bottom of the sea, "That's...'Mo Yuan'."
"Huh?" Kraken's Soul Power wave conveyed a trace of obvious confusion. Mo Yuan? Didn't you just say... wait?
"We..." Tieshan seemed to have taken a deep breath of non-existent sea water before continuing, with a heavy tenderness in his voice, "After your death... in order to remember you, and also to... allow Young Master to inherit that will and responsibility... we gave him... the name."
"We... call him, 'Little Moyuan'."
The water flow in the nest seemed to be completely stagnant at this moment.
Kraken felt a strong, almost absurd feeling.
The young Demon Whale who desperately tried to create a chance for himself and was finally on the verge of death... his name... is also called "Mo Yuan"? And it was... given in memory?
So, when Tieshan rushed in furiously and shouted "Young Master", did he think he was hurting the "souvenir" and "inheriter" who was given the old name?
This...
Kraken suddenly felt that the phrase "you suddenly appeared and knocked me unconscious" that he complained about before seemed... indeed quite reasonable. Although Tieshan's intention to protect "Young Master" was blameless, the source of this misunderstanding was too... speechless.
"..." He was silent for a longer time, and the ice-blue focus of perception seemed to have lost its direction, falling into a complex, almost stagnant thought.
Tieshan was obviously aware of the embarrassment and misunderstanding caused by the lack of information. His huge head hung lower, and his one eye was filled with guilt. "Master...Tieshan At that time... I couldn't tell that you Origin had returned and that your form had changed... I saw that withered... strange form and touched Young Master... I thought... I beg Master to punish you!"
Punishment? How can I have the energy to take care of this now?
Kraken reluctantly pulled away from the absurd shock and forced his attention back to the coldest reality.
"The name... doesn't matter." He finally conveyed such fluctuations, with a kind of indifference after crossing the cycle of life and death, "He is now... in extremely bad condition. The one called Abyssal Ripple Pearl is broken, and Origin is almost exhausted."
He "looked" at the dying Little Moyuan next to him.
"I need... more time to more stably control the power of Sea Spear in Soul Bone." His tone became as cold and hard as Deep Sea Black Ice again, "Then I can try to use that energy to fill his depleted Origin and see if I can... hold that breath."
"Tieshan," he turned to the silent beast, "Until I'm ready, I'm going to defend this place. No interruption is allowed. Including those... subordinates of yours."
He was referring to the three Demon Whale in the distance who were still shrouded in shock and alert.
"Yes! My king!" Tieshan did not hesitate, and a rock-like determination burst out from his one eye. Protecting the returning king of Origin, and saving Young Master who carries the name of "Mo Yuan", these dual missions are more important than anything else at this moment.
Kraken stopped talking, and his consciousness completely sank into the depths of repair and refining.
Within Soul Bone, the transformation of Sea Spear energy is carried out subtlely but firmly.
Within the body, the broken vitality is struggling to reorganize.
Deep in his consciousness, the dying figure of the young fellow who was given his old name overlapped with the vague concept of another "Mo Yuan" who burned himself to protect his tribe, turning into a strange and heavy burden.
There are two "Mo Yuan", one has passed away and the other will be extinguished.
