"Do you think this is a mutated mermaid?" Liszt asked strangely as he looked at the utterly hideous giant monster. He had noticed that its outline resembled a mermaid's; beneath its ugly, nauseating, tumor-ridden body, it had breasts and long hair.
In legend, mermaids were all female, with perfect breasts and waterfall-like hair.
Moreover, in the Fish-Ugly Temple, Fish-Ugly and Naga statues stood guard around mermaid statues, showing that mermaids held the status of rulers among the ocean races.
This ugly monster clearly controlled this group of Fish-Uglies, so it was very likely in a superior-subordinate relationship with the Fish-Ugly race. In other words, it was a mermaid, probably warped into its current form by some mutation, with even its magical attribute changing to darkness.
A Ke was also studying the ten-meter-long monster. "Now that you mention it, Brother, A Ke also thinks it may be a mutated mermaid. Its darkness-attribute high magic, tumors, rotten exterior, and the layer of deathly aura shrouding its body all make it highly likely to be a soul mutation."
"A soul mutation?"
"Yes. It is a new subject A Ke discovered while researching the lich Andy. There is a very powerful connection between the soul and the physical shell. Once the soul mutates, it causes mutations in the body, but mutations in the body rarely cause mutations in the soul."
"Then how should we deal with this mutated mermaid?"

"As slaves."
Liszt carefully examined the Fish-Uglies. They were not very mobile on land and
