Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the Close-Combat Mage Zero Doro!

Zi Zhenzhu and the others saw a tail as massive as a mountain, gleaming with a metallic sheen.

"Steel Whip!"

Zi Zhenzhu wore an expression of extreme terror. No one sailing these seas was unaware of the Three Grim Reaper Disasters!

"And Evil Fang!"

The underlings suddenly saw a massive whirlpool appear ahead of them, with two enormous fangs beside it!

"Doro?"

Zero Doro looked up. Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, as though it were about to rain.

"Th-there are dark clouds too!"

Zi Zhenzhu's legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the wooden deck, her eyes filled with despair!

Encountering even one disaster usually meant barely escaping death. Now that all three disasters had appeared together, there was no chance of survival at all!

"Doro. (Hello.)"

Zero Doro looked at the enormous Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in the water and cheerfully waved at him.

"What is that?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King merely glanced at her before opening his mouth, ready to swallow these little shrimps whole.

"Doro? (What are you doing?)"

Zero Doro looked at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King in confusion, speaking in an adorably dazed tone.

"W-we're going to be eaten!"

Zi Zhenzhu and her men screamed.

"Doro! (Being eaten means bad monster!)"

Hearing their cries, Zero Doro finally realized that the thing before her was not a big fishy, but a monster!

"Doro! (Transform!)"

Doro transformed immediately, her body becoming enormously large in an instant. Zero's outfit appeared on her body, along with a little helmet.

The helmet was a little too small, though, squeezing the chubby flesh on her face out around it.

"Doro! (Monster, surrender immediately, or righteous Doro will punish you!)"

Doro struck the opening pose for an Ultra Beam and spoke.

"What is this thing shouting about? Whatever. It doesn't matter."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had dominated these waters for far too long. He simply did not believe anything here could threaten him.

So he paid Zero Doro's movements no attention at all.

"Doro!"

Zero Doro held the Ultra Beam pose, but an Ultra Eight Splitter formed in her hands instead!

Under normal circumstances, the Ultra Eight Splitter was thrown like a frisbee to attack enemies.

But Zero Doro had apparently learned from someone somewhere to grip the light wheel and charge straight in.

She shoved the light wheel directly into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's mouth!

"Ah!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's defenses were broken, and he let out a miserable scream!

Roaring in fury, he swung his tail, ready to send Zero Doro flying!

"Doro!"

Zero Doro answered with Zero Sluggers, one in each hand, and charged right into close combat!

Seriously, who had Zero Doro learned that from?!

A perfectly good mage had somehow become a warrior. Was that even right?!

"Dodoro!"

The light on Zero Doro's chest began flashing red, but this time, it was not because her time was up.

This time, her ultimate attack had finished charging. She raised her hand and fired an Ultra Beam!

Before the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King could even react, the beam struck his body.

Agonizing pain coursed through his entire body. Every cell seemed to be burning, and he felt as though he were about to die!

"Dear!"

The Demon Empress burst from the depths of the sea. She wanted to protect her husband and use her own body to block the attack!

"Don't come over!"

"You're no match for this thing! You'll die! Run, now!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at Zero Doro, then at his wife, and made his decision.

He knew the enemy before him would never give up such a perfect chance to kill him!

But he also knew this was the best chance for his wife to escape. He threw away his life and charged forward!

He used the last of his strength to protect his wife!

But after the Demon Empress rushed out, Zero Doro suddenly stopped attacking.

"Doro. (There's a baby in your tummy. Doro doesn't hit babies.)"

"Doro. (But monsters have to be beaten, so move aside. Then Doro will eliminate the monster!)"

Zero Doro did not know what a perfect opportunity was. She only knew she could not hurt other living creatures.

Especially creatures that were pregnant and carrying little babies.

"S-she stopped?!"

The severely wounded Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stared at Zero Doro, his eyes full of confusion.

He had no idea why she had suddenly stopped. Was she trying to toy with him?

"Please don't hurt my husband. We will submit. We will no longer resist the Sea God!"

The Demon Empress's eyes were full of pleading. She had no idea where this person had come from.

But she knew that in these seas, the only being with such terrifying power was the Sea God!

Twenty thousand years ago, the Sea God had used force to subdue the Sea Soul Masters and Sea Soul Beasts.

But her husband had refused to submit. They fought a great battle, and in the end, her husband lost an eye.

Now that the Sea God had sent someone back, the target this time was surely her husband's life!

"Doro. (What are you talking about? Wait, Sea God... do you mean Sea God Guguga?)"

"Doro. (Do you know where the people, the ancestor, and Sea God Guguga are?)"

"Doro. (Can you take Doro to find them?)"

Zero Doro did not quite understand what the Demon Empress meant, but she understood the words "Sea God."

Her eyes immediately lit up. She happened to be looking for Sea God Guguga.

Finding someone who knew the way was perfect.

"Dear, it sounds like she accepted our surrender. It seems like we don't have to die?"

The Demon Empress felt that she had understood Zero Doro's meaning and spoke softly.

"Submitting to the Sea God... how humiliating!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was still unwilling in his heart, but given the situation, he had no choice.

If it were only him, he would fight to the death. But his wife was here.

His wife was even pregnant. For the safety of his wife and child, he had no choice but to submit.

"Doro, doro!"

Zero Doro returned to her tiny form, then stood atop the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's head.

She pointed her little hand toward the distance, urging the big fellow to set off quickly.

"Dear, it seems like she wants us to go somewhere?"

The Demon Empress spoke softly again.

"I know what she wants. She wants me to take her to Sea God Island."

"She wants her followers and the Sea Soul Beasts to see that I have already been subdued."

"I am already her mount."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King felt humiliated, but he accepted it. For the sake of his wife and child, he would endure it!

He swung his tail and carried Zero Doro toward Sea God Island.

On the way, Zero Doro also brought Zi Zhenzhu and the others aboard the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's back.

"Doro, doro. (Big monster, even though you're a monster, Doro will spare you for now.)"

"Doro. (You're not allowed to do bad things anymore, or Doro will really take you down!)"

"Doro. (And you, take good care of the little baby. Make her into a good monster!)"

Zero Doro spoke in a very serious tone.

"What is she saying?"

The Demon Empress was somewhat confused.

"She's telling the followers how powerful she is. She might also be telling us that we must submit obediently from now on, or she'll take us down."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said.

"Sigh, if we must submit, then we must submit. All the Soul Beasts in the sea have submitted already. Why should we remain stubborn?"

"Consider it for the child. Consider it for me."

The Demon Empress rubbed against the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's body as she comforted him.

"I understand. I'll endure it!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King took Zero Doro toward Sea God Island.

Well, although the entire exchange had gone completely wrong, the final outcome was right.

Zero Doro got her wish and was taken to find Qin Qi and the others.

Jokes aside, don't mess with Zero Doro. When she opens with her ultimate move, what are you going to use to block it?
