Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 69: Forbidden Galaxy, All Things Are Silent

The water of the Milky Way rushes down, and the tides recede wherever it passes.

Facing this overwhelming torrent of starlight, the giant squid roared furiously, stirring up a thousand massive waves in an attempt to resist. Simultaneously, the magic patterns on its body lit up, forming a dark blue water curtain barrier.

However, it is still difficult for it to completely compete on its own.

Just when Galaxy was about to break through the defense line——

"Wow!"

Several huge figures emerged from the water.

A giant jellyfish, over a hundred meters in diameter, hovered in mid-air. Its entire body was crystal clear, and thousands of luminescent tentacles extended from its canopy—it was the leader of the stillwater jellyfish. Each of its tentacles released a unique interference wave, attempting to disrupt the flow of the Milky Way's waters.

At the same time, a giant white shark with a body length of nearly 100 meters jumped out of the water. Its sharp dorsal fin cut through the waves and it spewed out extremely concentrated high-pressure water from its mouth.

Further away, three monarch-level sirens of different shapes attacked at the same time: a lightning eel with wings on its back released a dazzling lightning net; a giant deep-sea turtle covered with a coral shell held up a defensive barrier; a red sea snake with six eyes spewed out poisonous mist.

The mermaid queen is centered around herself, with layers of blue ripples spreading out.

These ripples are not ordinary ripples, but contain tidal rhythms, and each one hits the node of the waves precisely.

"Buzz——"

A strange resonant sound echoed across the sea.

Influenced by the Queen's ripples, the sea water within a radius of hundreds of miles seemed to be given life and began to surge in a specific rhythm.

And her ripples cleverly guide the power of other sirens:
The Queen adjusted the frequency of the interference waves released by the giant jellyfish; the trajectory of the high-pressure water cannon spewed by the White Shark Monarch was optimized by the waves for greater precision; and the thunderous power of the Thunder Eel was woven into a power grid covering the entire battlefield by the waves...

Under the coordination of this queen, the power of the six monarch-level sirens has undergone a qualitative change.

Their demonic powers were no longer scattered, but were perfectly integrated through the Queen's tidal ripples, forming a three-dimensional defense network.

“Wow—”

The water of the Milky Way collided with this jointly constructed defense network, causing the originally unstoppable galactic offensive to come to a halt.

At the junction of seawater and starlight, a clear "saw-tug" phenomenon appeared -

The Milky Way Water wanted to continue advancing, but encountered unprecedented resistance; the Sirens wanted to push back, but it was difficult to shake the other side.
This brief stalemate caused the entire sea area to fall into a strange stillness.

Lan Xi opened her mouth, wanting to call for her mother, but Soraka gently held her shoulder. "Now is not the time."

"hold on."

Before she finished speaking, Soraka slowly spread her arms, and the starlight flowing through her fingertips suddenly changed from silver-white to a deep purple, and a mysterious star pattern condensed and took shape on her chest.

"Astral barrier."

With this whisper, she pushed her hands forward.

Instantly, a purple light curtain rapidly expanded from her center, covering the entire sea area in the blink of an eye. This barrier was not as powerful as ordinary magic, but it carried the irresistible power of the law.

The mermaid queen was shocked to find that her connection with the ocean seemed to be cut off. The tidal ripples that she had carefully controlled seemed to be muted and could no longer stir up any waves.

The six monarch-level sirens were in a state of panic: the luminous tentacles of the jellyfish suddenly dimmed; the half-sprayed water cannon of the White Shark Monarch dissipated in mid-air; the electric net around the Thunder Eel burst like bubbles...

In the forbidden area of ​​the galaxy, all laws are silent, and all ocean magic, no matter how high or low, is ineffective in this purple star field.

Temporarily stripped of even their most basic water control abilities, several sirens were forced to frantically flap their limbs to barely stay afloat. The mermaid queen's coral crown trembled slightly. Since her birth, she had never experienced the feeling of losing the power of the ocean.

“How is this possible?”

Her fingertips trembled uncontrollably. As a member of the sea creatures who were born with some power over the tides, she couldn't even do the most basic control of the water flow. This unprecedented feeling of being out of control made the queen taste fear for the first time.

Who exactly is that being shrouded in starlight?
An unprecedented seriousness flashed in the mermaid queen's eyes, and she made a prompt decision.

"withdraw!"

The order was spread through the spiritual fluctuations unique to the sea people.

Before the mermaid queen left, she gave Lan Xi a deep look, her eyes filled with so many emotions: anger, disappointment, and confusion.
As the siren army retreated like a tide, all the mages on the Pearl Tower raised their heads at the same time, their eyes focused on the hazy starlight figure in the sky.

The sunlight penetrated the clouds, giving the figure a light golden outline. She was suspended under the sky, her robe woven from starlight fluttering in the wind.

“Who is she?”

This question is on everyone's mind.

Soraka fought off the Mermaid Queen, but there was no cheering, no applause.

But she didn't care and ignored the shocked looks on the Pearl Tower. She waved her sleeves lightly, and a road paved with starlight extended under her feet.

Before Lan Xi could react, she felt her body lighten and she was being carried towards the deep sea.

“Here we are.”

"Go and say a true goodbye to your mother." Soraka's voice was soft, but with unquestionable determination.

Under the starlight, the outline of her face was particularly clear. "If I had asked you to speak just now, it would have only led to deeper misunderstandings. It would have done nothing."

Lan Xi suddenly realized.

She remembered the murderous intent in her mother's eyes when she was furious—the Mermaid Queen at that time wouldn't listen to any explanation. Only when they showed enough strength like now would her mother listen to her quietly.

As the purple starlight gradually dissipated, peace returned to the sea.

However, there were still many sirens who did not have time to retreat with the army and were trapped in place. The lingering star power was wrapped around them, as if they were imprisoned by invisible chains.

The Chief Military Strategy Officer stood on the damaged command platform, his eyes sweeping across the battlefield like a hawk. He raised his right hand and said in a steady and powerful voice: "All troops, listen to my orders—"

"Team One is responsible for killing the remaining sirens. Remember to keep a safe distance!"

"Team Two will immediately begin search and rescue operations for the wounded. Healing mages should prioritize treating the seriously injured!"

"The third team will clean up the battlefield and collect all the Kraken debris and magical residues!"

As the order was given, the well-trained military magicians took quick action.
-
The perspective shifted to Qin Xiaonan's real body. After the clone Soraka took Lan Xi away, Qin Xiaonan himself put on a black robe and said, "Let's go too and take a look."

The fox demon Qingning and the sand hidden scorpion followed closely behind.

The moment I stepped out of the house, I was hit by a chaotic sound.

The Pudong New Area has fallen into complete panic. In the distance, the Nanpu Bridge has been broken into two parts, and the streets are crowded with people fleeing in panic.

Wind mages kept flying through the sky, using amplifying magic to guide the evacuation direction.
