Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 65 The Second Avatar, the Son of the Stars Arrives

A large number of sea beasts appeared and attacked the cross-river bridge.

Then the shrill alarm sounded throughout the entire Magic City, starting with a rapid red alarm.

But just ten minutes later, the alert level suddenly escalated. Purple warning beams shot up from various Magic Association branches, painting the sky an eerie purple-red.

"Confirmed presence of a monarch-level demon in the Huangpu River basin! I repeat, confirmed presence of a monarch-level demon!"

The voice coming from the communication has changed its tone.

And just now, the majestic sea beast Qiuchi that appeared severely injured two super-class mages. Its huge body stirred up huge waves in the river, and then swam towards another bridge upstream.

The purpose of these sirens is very clear, which is to destroy all cross-river bridges.

After hearing the noise, Qin Xiaonan rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the Haoran sea monster wreaking havoc, with its bone whip flying and a lot of disgusting bugs falling from its body.

"This..." Qin Xiaonan frowned deeply.

He bought an apartment in Pudong New Area because the conditions in the new area are relatively better. The 27th floor has an excellent view, which can usually take in the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River, but now it has become the best place to watch the disaster.

According to the normal timeline, it would take at least three years for the Magic City to encounter a siren attack of this scale. It was a bit too early now.

Suddenly, he turned his head as if he realized something.

Lan Xiyi silently watched everything unfold below, her long, azure hair moving even in the wind. Her eyes were deeper than usual, as if an undercurrent was surging beneath them.

The secret that the Red Sea Overlord had once told him flashed through Qin Xiaonan’s mind.

However, before he could utter a word, Lan Xi's cold voice rang out:

“My mother is here.”

She said this calmly, but Lan Xi's slender fingers were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, indicating that she was definitely not calm at the moment.

If she were still the pure-blooded mermaid swimming in the deep sea, she would surely welcome her mother's arrival with joy at this moment.

But now.
After her transformation, she is no longer a citizen recognized by the ocean.

Beneath her slightly trembling eyelashes was an unconcealable fear - she was afraid that her mother, who once loved her, would see her current state and might end her life with her own hands.

Qin Xiaonan walked forward and gently placed his right hand on Lan Xi's trembling shoulder. He could feel the slight trembling coming from under his palm.

"Since you mermaids have two transformation paths to choose from, why would you be considered a traitor if you choose the other?"

"I am not from the sea tribe, so I don't understand your beliefs and rules. But I know that existence is reasonable, otherwise you would only have one path."

“Since there is a choice, then any path deserves respect.”

Lan Xi looked up suddenly. She had never heard such remarks before.

At the same time, he looked at Qin Xiaonan in surprise, "You know everything?"

"Go and say goodbye to your mother. I will keep you safe." Qin Xiaonan said.

He had brought her back because of the detoxifying effect of her tears, but he had not expected that by some strange coincidence, the mark of the sun disc would prompt her to complete her transformation ahead of schedule.

After spending time together day and night during this period, Qin Xiaonan gradually realized that keeping this transformed mermaid by his side might be a good choice.

First, she and Lan Xi currently get along quite well. Second, Lan Xi's strength is immense, comparable to that of a monarch-level siren and stronger than many human super-class mages. More importantly, she doesn't have to worry about her identity being exposed. She can move freely in the human world and handle many things for him that Qing Ning, the fox demon, finds inconvenient.

Furthermore, as a former deep-sea noble, she likely had some knowledge of the distribution and habits of the various Siren races. This intelligence would be an irreplaceable aid to his avatar, "Azir," in his future plans to deal with the Siren Empire.

After Lan Xi calmed down a little, Qin Xiaonan took out a dark blue robe and put it on her.

The hood of the robe was wide, covering her long ocean-blue hair and delicate face tightly, leaving only her fair chin exposed.

At the same time, in the depths of the vast starry sky, in a temple suspended between the nebulae, Qin Xiaonan's second clone, Soraka, the Son of the Stars, slowly opened her eyes.

Those eyes were as deep as the galaxy. After this period of recuperation, the backlash caused by the body's forcible borrowing of the power of the stars has healed.

"Lan Xi."

Soraka whispered softly, her voice ethereal and distant.

She knew very well that Lan Xi was now crucial to Qin Xiaonan's plan. She must not be allowed to be taken away by her mother, and she must not be allowed to die at the hands of the deep-sea nobles.

So, she raised her slender finger and lightly tapped the air. Instantly, a soft starlight penetrated through layers of space and descended into Qin Xiaonan's apartment.

In the room, starlight flowed like water, gradually condensing into a hazy figure.

When the light faded, a graceful figure emerged - her silver hair was like a waterfall, she had a pair of crystal star horns on her head, her skin was as bright as moonlight, and a faint starlight lingered around her.

However, the moment she fully revealed herself, something strange happened—

"laugh--"

Countless fine cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of her body, like porcelain burned by high temperature. Dazzling starlight burst out from the cracks, and Soraka groaned.

"Sure enough. It's still too forced."

The power of the Child of the Stars is too great, and her transformed body cannot withstand her powerful magical energy. At the same time, the magical laws of Blue Star also instinctively reject her.

Every minute and every second, her body was suffering from a burning sensation, as if countless flames were raging inside her.

But there was not much confusion in Soraka's eyes, she could still bear the pain.

(The setting here is the same as the world view in League of Legends. The Child of the Stars is a true god. When she descends to the continent, her body cannot withstand her magical power and is constantly burned by magic.)
The figure that suddenly appeared in the room made Lan Xi's pupils shrink suddenly, and she instinctively took half a step back.

Qingning straightened his body instantly, and the sharp claws of the Sand Scorpion were ready to strike.

However, when Qingning sensed the warm and tranquil star power emanating from Soraka, it suddenly relaxed.

This familiar breath reminded it of the power that its master had used when he was pacifying the western border.

Soraka smiled slightly and turned her eyes to Lan Xi.

She stretched out her jade-white hand and gently grasped Lan Xi's cold fingers. Instantly, a reassuring warmth flowed into Lan Xi's body, and the surging fear and anxiety slowly receded like a tide.

"I'll go with you to see your mother."

Soraka's voice was ethereal and pleasant, like the sound of the night wind blowing through the starry sky.

Lan Xi stared blankly at the mysterious incarnation of the stars in front of her. The galaxy flowing in the other's eyes made her unconsciously relax her tense nerves.
