Seeing the Ocean Crown s forces, who had been friendly just a moment ago, suddenly change their demeanor and draw sharp swords, all of the Coral Palace s troops had their faces change color. They hurriedly reached for their weapons, preparing to face off.

However, they all felt somewhat uncertain. Facing an armed force and heroes numbering over 15,000 from the Coral Palace against just over 5,000 Ocean Crown troops was a daunting prospect, not to mention winning the battle.

Over 15,000 Coral Palace soldiers gathered, but they appeared cautious in the face of the Ocean Crown’s well-armed troops and heroes, just standing there put immense pressure on them, let alone winning the battle.

Tension filled the air outside the Coral Palace, and it was on the brink of conflict.

Inside the central palace of the Coral Palace, the atmosphere was equally tense.

Sonia stood frozen, her expression extremely nervous.

She felt the human man standing less than two meters away from her, and his presence was locked onto her. If she dared to make any move, she would face a storm of attacks like a raging tempest.

Even though they were separated by the icy seawater, she could still feel the surging power, like mighty waves.

This was not what she had anticipated!

Sonia believed that her strength surpassed that of this human, which was why she had agreed to meet with him alone, in the same room. But now, it seemed like she had dug herself into a hole!

Didn’t you say 1 should consider it carefully?

Doesn’t this appearance suggest that if 1 don’t agree, I’m going to die!?

Moreover, outside the Coral Palace, there were two heroes of equal strength waiting for him. The three of them were more than capable of capturing her.

Furthermore, a formidable army was stationed outside the Coral Palace. Since this human man dared to act like this, it was likely that the army had also started moving.

Sonia couldn’t afford to gamble with her life, and neither could the entire Coral Palace.

After a long silence, with a heavy sigh, Sonia’s face was filled with helplessness, and her body relaxed.

“Your Excellency, please have your subordinates and troops stand down. Continuing like this may lead to disaster.”

However, Ji Chen remained calm and composed.

“Have you made up your mind?”

“The Coral Palace is willing to submit.”

As these words fell, Sonia felt the pressure on her shoulder disappear completely, causing her to let out a sigh of relief.

She moved her body, which had become somewhat stiff due to excessive tension.

With a somewhat resentful look in her eyes, she gazed at Ji Chen. “Your Excellency, you are quite skilled. You used the entire Coral Palace and my desire for the outside world to force me into submission.

If I had known that you had such power, I would never have been so careless as to meet you alone.”

Ji Chen smiled and replied, “If you hadn’t been careless, the Coral Palace might have faced dire consequences.

Moreover, the reason 1 decided to do this on a whim is because you mentioned knowing the whereabouts of the dimensional keys.”

Sonia pursed her lips, mentally scolding herself.

But upon reflection, without Ji Chen’s assistance, she wouldn’t have seen even a glimmer of hope for the Great Luminescent Sea to connect with the main world. Waiting for another outsider who could cooperate peacefully might take an eternity.

So perhaps this was the price she had to pay?

Since it had come to this, she had no choice but to accept it.

Adjusting her mindset, Sonia continued, “Thousands of years ago, when the Dragon King left, he took one of the dimensional keys with him and built the Dragon King’s City. If I’m not mistaken, that dimensional key has been passed down through the generations of Water Dragon Kings and should be with the current Water Dragon King.

The other one is still in the hands of the human kingdom on the surface of the sea. They consider it a royal heirloom and have been preserving it well.”

Ji Chen nodded, confirming his suspicions. One dimensional key was likely in the possession of the Dragon King’s City, and the other… He glanced at Sonia. Was it because those humans were descendants of the people from thousands of years ago that they hesitated to take it?

But that didn’t matter to him. He wouldn’t be concerned about that. If they were unwilling to hand it over, he would use ‘diplomacy’ to achieve his goal.

Excellent, both dimensional keys now had clear leads, and the next step was to recover them.

At that moment, the urgent voices of Alice and Anina, who had been guarding the entrance, echoed from outside.

“My Lord, there’s been a change in the situation. The Dragon King’s City army has suddenly attacked, and their numbers exceed twenty thousand.”

Sonia’s expression changed, twenty thousand troops? Had the Dragon King’s City decided to go to war at any cost and unify the Great Luminescent Sea?

“You both go to the front lines, I’ll join you shortly.”

“Yes!”

Turning to Sonia, Ji Chen smiled and said, “It seems I won t have to exert much effort to find them now.”

Seeing his calm demeanor, Sonia, who had been somewhat flustered, suddenly regained her composure. Indeed, with the Ocean Crown s forces and Your Excellency present, what could the Dragon King’s City possibly achieve?

“If we manage to defeat rhe Dragon King s City army, then I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you and become the blade in your hand,” she said earnestly.

Ji Chen smiled but didn’t say anything. He simply turned and pushed open the door, swiftly heading outside the Coral Palace.

With each step, an immense surge of mana, vaster than the deep sea itself, flowed like a volcanic eruption.

The charged ring on his finger emitted a faint warmth.

The next spell’s damage is increased by 30%.

The energy in his hand had reached its peak. Standing above the buildings, Ji Chen no longer controlled it. He swung his right hand heavily, sending out three currents, each over a kilometer wide, carrying terrifying power.

In front of the Coral Palace, amidst the towering luminescent forest, formations of a thousand soldiers from the Dragon King’s City emerged one after another. Guided by their leaders, they arranged themselves in orderly formations and marched together toward the Coral Palace.

“Annihilate the Coral Palace, today is the day!”

“After today, the Great Luminescent Sea will belong only to the Dragon King’s City! To battle, even to the death!”

“Hail to Water Dragon King!”

The morale of the Dragon King s City army was exceptionally high as they looked at the not-so-distant Coral Palace, their eyes filled with excitement.

They had been waiting for this day for a long time. After today, the only remaining power in the Great Luminescent Sea would be the Dragon King’s City!

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Dragon King’s City army, the Coral Palace forces were first stunned, then panicked.

They were already outnumbered by the Dragon King s City, and now they were surrounded by the Ocean Crown’s forces, making their situation even more dire.

“Damn it! I knew this suddenly appearing army was allied with the Dragon King’s City. Now we re truly done for!”

“Does this mean that the Coral Palace, which has survived for thousands of years, is going to fall today!?”

“Even if we have to die, we’ll die fighting! For Lord of the Coral!”

Just as they wore faces filled with sorrow, preparing to face death in battle, the Ocean Crown’s army suddenly collectively turned towards the outer side, marching forward in unison, their formations directed straight at the Dragon King’s City army.

But before they could react, they suddenly felt a violent disturbance behind them. After only a slight perception, these soldiers, extremely sensitive to the flow of the ocean, had their expressions change once again.

Terrifying ocean currents were approaching!

While there were no tsunamis in the water, the constant presence of these ocean currents was just as powerful as the raging waves.

The power of the three currents they sensed was comparable to waves several tens of meters high, and anyone caught in them would be swept away, with little hope of survival.

These three currents, at a terrifying speed, passed over their heads and then surged towards the Dragon King’s City army.

The Dragon King’s City army, as though their weight had vanished, had their bodies effortlessly wrested from their control by the powerful currents. They coiled together like strands of dough and rolled backward even faster than before.

In the frantic rolling, many ordinary soldiers and commanders gradually lost their life force and lay scattered on the ground, turning into lifeless corpses.

The first current passed, then the second, followed by the third.

The plain that had been filled with Dragon King s City forces moments ago now appeared empty, with barely a tenth of them left standing and capable of fighting.

At this moment, the Ocean Crown’s army, which had been poised for action, finally revealed their fangs. Led by various heroes, they tore apart the remaining enemies one by one.

They left no survivors, ensuring that they completely crippled the military strength of the Dragon King’s City in one fell swoop!
