Everyone in the city stared in horror at the sky.
The World Stone floats below the crevice, its shadow covering a large area of the sea.
Without a doubt, if this mountain were to fall into the city, most of the city would be reduced to ruins.
The royal knights took to the streets and quickly quelled the unrest in the city.
Hearing that this was Her Majesty the Queen's doing, people flocked out to see what was happening.
The streets outside the naval port were particularly congested, with crowds flocking to witness the spectacle.
The Dharma King looked around and said casually, "You're living a pretty good life, aren't you?"
The Captain nudged him on the shoulder. "I'm relieved to have you here."
"Recently, I've been helping them build the Outpost City of the Abyss. The number of alien beasts around it is increasing, and there are even quite a few mid-level alien beasts now."
With the arrival of the Dharma King, this world now possesses top-tier combat power.
The Captain subtly gestured towards the royal knights behind him.
"Am I being a good friend?"
"I specially invited the prettiest girl in town to welcome you."
After taking a look, the Dharma King thought to himself, "Wow!"
Are all women in this world this tall?
The Captain smiled and said, "Our Sea of Glaze has its own unique circumstances; you'll understand later."
Captain Gwenni stepped forward, placed her right arm across her chest, and gave a knightly salute.
" Gwenni, captain of the Royal Knights, has come to welcome our friends from another race, by order of Her Majesty the Queen."
The Dharma King nodded slightly. "Just call me Dharma King."
Gwenni's breathing slowed involuntarily.
She sensed a tremendous pressure emanating from the Dharma King.
Although the Captain was very strong, when she faced Captain before, while she felt pressure, it wasn't to the point of suffocation.
At this moment Gwenni stood before the Dharma King, with only one thought in her mind.
They were no match for them.
Gwenni both fortunate and worried at the sudden appearance of such a powerful figure.
Fortunately, the Sea of Glaze was able to put up a fight against the overwhelming beasts.
The concern lies with this powerful individual, not with one of their own kind.
Gwenni quickly came to terms with it.
Since it was His Majesty's decision, we should trust him.
"The welcoming banquet is ready, and His Majesty is waiting. Please follow me."
The Dharma King said, "Wait a minute, let me set that worthless stone aside."
Gwenni blinked, a series of question marks appearing above her head. Where were the stones?
The Dharma King turned and shouted towards the World Stone in the sky, "You will stay at the bottom of the Abyss crevice."
The World Stone protested, "I don't want to be soaking in the water!"
Gwenni was taken aback.
This mountain can talk; it's alive!
The Dharma King actually calls this mountain "Stone"—just how powerful is he?
The onlookers nearby were also taken aback and shouted, "Long live Her Majesty the Empress!"
World Stone cursed, "So you're just using me and then discarding me? You weren't so perfunctory with me on the way here!"
The Dharma King said calmly, "Whether you stay in the sea or go back to that godforsaken place, the choice is yours."
The World Stone remained silent for a moment before slowly sinking into the sea.
A wave more than twenty meters high suddenly surged up and swept towards the shore.
A riot broke out in the street as people scrambled to run backward.
"Tsunami!"
Gwenni; her first instinct was to protect the Queen.
Such high waves are enough to destroy the royal palace.
The Captain, who had been watching the commotion, said to Gwenni, "Calm down."
The Dharma King soared into the sky, and countless bolts of lightning struck down, forming a wall of thunder on the shore that kept the waves at bay.
Boom--
The Dharma King casually struck the World Stone on the forehead with a bolt of lightning. "Behave yourself!"
"Ouch!" World Stone cried out in pain, "Don't touch me, I want to sleep."
The World Stone slowly sank down, leaving only a mountain peak twenty or thirty meters high above the sea level.
The Dharma King landed in front of Gwenni: "It's alright, it was just being mischievous."
"Don't disturb it, it will fall asleep soon. Just pretend it's not there."
Captain Gwenni swallowed hard; a crisis that threatened to destroy the city had been resolved so easily.
The Captain put his arm around the Dharma King's shoulder and laughed, "We have many more of these stones, but we really don't have anywhere to put this one. Thank you so much for providing the space."
"After some time, our Troupe Leader will personally visit to express our gratitude."
Gwenni asked curiously, "What's the strength of your Troupe Leader?"
With such terrifying subordinates, she couldn't even imagine how powerful the Troupe Leader must be.
The Captain smiled without saying a word.
Gwenni cautiously, " Level Nine?"
The Captain shook his head, then pointed to the sky.
Gwenni almost choked on her saliva.
That surpasses the limits of martial arts... is it a god?
In an attic near the port, a short man stood by the window, quietly watching Captain Gwenni leave with two aliens.
Has His Highness not made a decision yet?
Standing beside her was a woman dressed in a white, belted palace-style long dress.
She has a beautiful face, a gentle temperament, and a soft, sweet voice, giving people a feeling as gentle as water.
Her long, jet-black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and from behind, it looked like two flowing ripples of water.
The prince, regaining his composure, said in a deep voice, "But... they are, after all, our friends."
"They helped us unify all the seas and repeatedly defended us against the invasions of Abyss beasts."
"If it weren't for their arrival, let alone the Abyss, we probably wouldn't even know what the surface of the Sea of Glaze looks like."
The woman smiled gently, "Has Your Highness ever wondered why they treat you so well?"
The prince remained silent.
The woman continued, "There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."
"Her Majesty the Queen is too kind-hearted, entrusting everything in the world to them."
"What if they turn against us one day?"
"Wearing a mask all the time is clearly a sign of ulterior motives."
Seeing that the prince was showing signs of relenting, the woman gently persuaded him, "It's not about making Your Highness turn against them, but simply about building up your own power base and taking precautions in secret."
The prince frowned. "But my sister won't agree."
The woman said calmly, "Then let His Majesty not know. Once we have built up our own force, we can fight the Abyss on our own without relying on these outsiders."
"It will also change His Majesty's opinion of you."
Who says men are inferior to women?
Upon hearing this, the prince's eyes hardened.
"Do as you say, you'll be fully responsible, and you absolutely mustn't let my sister find out."
The woman smiled knowingly and touched the dark green gemstone ring on her right index finger.
"Your Highness, rest assured, I will certainly handle this matter properly."
Qin Ze hadn't expected the World Stone to move so fast.
While he was reading a few pages of his diary, the World Stone had already arrived.
If I had known, I would have made the World Stone his mount.
With the Captain and the Dharma King king working together, they should be able to manage the Circus's backyard very well.
Besides, what danger could there be in a world still in its infancy?
Qin Ze rode swiftly along the back of the Abyss Puppet.
Several days later, he finally arrived near the entrance to the Lost World.
Just as Qin Ze was about to have the Abyss Puppet land, a small steel flying boat suddenly broke through the Parting Clouds and appeared.
He quickly ordered the Abyss Puppet to rise higher to avoid being discovered.
After the airship landed, several people stepped out of the elevator.
Qin Ze spotted a familiar figure among them.
" Bai Chi?!"
