"Looks like they've had a fight."
[Sky] spoke softly, approaching Hela and gently patting her back to comfort her.
"He's so Mingming to you..."
"Alright, Xiao Huan, stop talking."
Tuote interrupted Xiao Huan in time, both for Hela's sake and for Xiao Huan's own.
Xiao Huan flapped its wings, trembling incessantly, gazed at Hela for a long time, then slowly turned around and flew away.
"Where are you going?" Tuote instinctively stepped forward and asked.
" Aidan died in his rented apartment in the United States..."
Xiao Huan didn't look back. Her frail body passed through one top-tier Variant after another, making her appear so small and lonely.
He protected me for five years... I will protect him for five years too.
After saying that, Xiao Huan flew across the sea towards the United States continent.
Only when that golden star gradually disappeared into the coastline did the [Ocean] begin to hum again.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" ( [Life] should be fine, right? If there are no problems, I'll take you down.)
Ye Yiqing immediately spoke up, "I will find someone to handle your and your little brother's matter properly, and I will also directly revive him. Don't worry."
"Heh, I never expected this kid to die like this. I was hoping to get revenge for the few times he stabbed me back then."
[Summer] had a mocking smile on his face, but the next moment he was glared at coldly by [Sky] and quickly shut his mouth.
Everything around her seemed to have nothing to do with Hela.
She stood there quietly, staring at the ice beneath her feet, feeling as if her mind had gone completely blank.
Without realizing it, she opened her mouth and said, "Go down."
[Ocean] didn't speak, but a patch of seawater slowly rose, forming a water sphere that enveloped everyone before slowly sinking.
The group stood inside the bubble and slowly descended into the Ten Thousand Sharks Valley at the bottom of the Ocean.
Ten Thousand Sharks Valley.
Several Sea Shark Dragon have been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the bright, shiny bubble descending against all logic, they immediately stepped forward to escort it.
One of them was a figure familiar to Hela.
Through the bubbles, the Spirit Shark saw Hela with her head down, her mouth full of sharp teeth slightly open. But sensing Hela's state, it immediately closed its mouth and did not go forward to greet her.
Slowly, a Hongwei, enormous underwater hill gradually emerged from the murky waters.
At the summit of the hill, a colossal humanoid sea dragon stands tall, like a fierce general suppressing a world.
"You're here..."
Sea Dragon looked at the approaching group and spoke in a low voice.
"Buzz buzz buzz--" ( Sea Dragon, you continue to guard the outside. I will notify you when the fusion is in progress.)
A ball of light representing the [Ocean] appeared before him, buzzing, while several Sea Shark Dragon escorting him also arrived on either side of the Sea Dragon.
Sea Dragon nodded slightly. "Understood."
Under the control of [Ocean], the bubble carrying everyone slowly entered the stone hill space below.
But the [Ocean] orb did not rush down; instead, it floated to the front of the Sea Dragon and the group of sea dragons.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz..." (After becoming [Ultimate], I will disappear regardless of whether the plan succeeds or not...)
The Sea Shark Dragon on either side of the Sea Dragon lowered their heads in unison, and the Sea Dragon's eyes trembled slightly.
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz--" (Even without me, you will not die thanks to the faith of Ocean life and the sea sands in you.)
[Ocean] said solemnly to the Sea Dragon.
"Buzz buzz buzz... buzz buzz buzz--" (After I'm gone, everything depends on you... If humanity disappears, you'll be able to live a better life.)
Sea Dragon's two enormous hands clasped tightly, and all the emotions in his heart finally turned into a firm response.
I will not let you down!
The green light stopped flickering, and the soft green glow resembled a loving mother looking at her child with a face full of satisfaction.
Meanwhile, inside the hills.
The entire dimly lit space was only illuminated by the faint glow emitted from a few luminous fruits, emanating from outside the cave entrance.
Even though the cave had been drained of seawater and filled with air, the churning seawater outside still made it incredibly damp inside.
This environment made everyone except Hela extremely uncomfortable, especially [Sky].
Having grown accustomed to living in bright, spacious, and well-ventilated environments, she was still feeling very uncomfortable inside, even if she didn't show it on her face.
With a gentle pinch between the middle finger and thumb, a small sun, about the size of a fingernail, appears between the two fingers.
With a gentle flick, the little sun floated directly above the stone house.
The bright sunlight instantly illuminated the entire dim environment, while also making the air dry and fresh.
"Much better."
Ye Yiqing walked at the front of everyone and arrived at a room made of rock.
He took a deep breath, slowly grasped the doorknob, and pulled hard.
Clapping--
With a dull, grating sound of rocks grinding together, the solid stone door was pulled open, and Ye Yiqing stared intently inside.
On the stone bed, a tall and muscular figure sat there, his muscles as hard as if they were carved from stone.
At this moment, he is idly holding a vase in one hand.
Upon seeing the door open, sharp eyes immediately fell on Ye Yiqing.
Ye Yiqing didn't say anything, but slowly turned aside to make way for him.
"Looks like it's time..."
Looking through the gate at the several powerful figures outside, [Ground] he naturally understood everything.
The nearly two-meter-tall body slowly stood up and walked towards the door.
With each step, his heavy footsteps echoed with the crisp sound of a hammer striking rock.
Ye Yiqing was naturally not afraid of the [Ground] suddenly escaping, after all, the other [Five Calamities] were all here, and also in the depths of the Ocean.
There was absolutely no escape on the [Ground].
When [Ground] completely emerged from the room, everyone in [Four Seasons] involuntarily shuddered.
The painful memories of being tried on the [Ground] back then flashed through their minds.
The [Ground] ignored them completely, glancing at the [Sky] with a hint of curiosity in its eyes.
This must be the first time in his life that he has seen this most powerful and mysterious of the [Five Calamities].
The [Sky] seemed uninterested in the [Ground], merely glancing at him coldly before looking away.
Finally, [Ground]'s gaze swept over Hela, and when it saw Tuote, it seemed somewhat puzzled.
"What about Aidan? I remember he's always by your side."
These words seemed to trigger some kind of switch, instantly snapping Hela out of her daze.
Hela ignored the [Ground] and looked at Tuote, extending her hand. "The scarf from Aidan is for you. Give it to me."
Tuote's expression was complicated, but he still reached into his pocket, pulled out a folded scarf, and handed it to Hela.
Hela took the scarf and slowly unfolded it; a piece of paper floated out and fell to the ground.
Hela had already picked it up, and his pupils contracted slightly after seeing the words on it.
