"So?" Lucia looked at Bai Ye warily and said, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

“What I’m trying to say is that, obviously, in this steam age, the gods have perished, and your father Poseidon is pretty much dead too,” Bai Ye said. “I estimate that, most likely, his body should be in his Poseidon Temple! Madam, don’t you think we should go to his temple together and collect his remains, so that he doesn’t die without a proper burial?”

Lucia suddenly realized: "I understand now, you're after Poseidon's trident?"

As we all know, Poseidon was far less wealthy than his brother Zeus; he was a pauper. The only valuable thing he owned was the trident of Poseidon, which he always carried with him. If Poseidon had died, the trident would probably have been next to his body.

Bai Ye: "No, I'm doing this to fulfill my filial duty for you! That's your father who gave you life and raised you. Blood is thicker than water. How can you bear to leave his body unattended?"

Lucia sneered, looked at Bai Ye, and remained silent.

"Alright, alright, I do have a bit of curiosity about the Trident of Poseidon," Bai Ye said. "But this is a win-win situation. You comfort the spirit of your late father, and I satisfy my curiosity. Nobody loses out!"

“I’ve yielded to you time and time again, not so you could take advantage of me!” Lucia said without hesitation. “If you want the legendary Trident of Poseidon, then go find it yourself. This has nothing to do with me, and I’m not going to play along!”

“But aren’t you really curious about Poseidon’s fate?” Bai Ye said. “You Sirens have always claimed that you are Poseidon’s servants and that he will protect you. But what if Poseidon has really died long ago?”

"You are probably well aware of the situation of ordinary humans. The pace of development is getting faster and faster, the sailing ships are getting bigger and bigger, the numbers are getting bigger and bigger, and the weapons are getting more and more numerous. And your Sirens are related to the secret of the Fountain of Youth. If humans explore this world further and come to the Fountain of Youth, can your Sirens really resist the flintlock guns and cannons of humans with harpoons and wooden guns?"

"Admit it, your Sirens clan has long been out of touch with the times! Before, you were able to live freely because the fog of the times concealed you, but Your Majesty, the times have changed! If you do not adapt to this era, is the extinction of the Sirens clan just a matter of time?"

Lucia was lost in thought.

As the mermaid queen, she could also sense that the times were changing, that more and more fleets were arriving at the Fountain of Youth, and that the living conditions of the Sirens were becoming increasingly harsh.

Although she had some worries, things hadn't come to a head yet, so she could pretend not to know or see. However, Bai Ye's exposure of this deep-seated problem made Lucia realize that the Sirens could no longer continue to drift along with the tide. Otherwise, the Sirens, who had no other extraordinary powers besides being able to survive underwater and freely switch between their tails and legs, would only become salted fish on human dinner tables.

“As the wise men of mankind have said: He who does not plan for the whole will not be able to plan for a part; he who does not plan for eternity will not be able to plan for the present.” Bai Ye said, “Ordinary mermaids can be free and carefree, but if their queen is also empty-headed and does not think about anything, then that’s just ridiculous.”

Lucia was furious:

"It's easy for you to say a few words, but doing things is never as easy as you make it sound. The threat from humans is indeed growing, but what can I do? Lead the merfolk to wipe out all of humanity? Or learn from humans and create large machines and guns? Impossible, there are too few merfolk, it's simply impossible!"

Bai Ye laughed and said:

"So I'm giving you another option. Your Sirens have lost their protection, but I can provide it! If you can help me obtain the Trident of Poseidon and gain the power to control the sea, then I can protect you after humanity rises! After all, no matter how powerful humanity becomes, how can it be stronger than the power of natural disasters? Even the largest sailing ship can't stop a massive tsunami, right?"

Lucia admitted that it did seem like a possible approach, but...

"Then why should I help you obtain the Trident of Poseidon, instead of getting it myself?"

Lucia was puzzled as to why Bai Ye was so confident.

"That works too!"

Bai Ye said:

"Then I'll go and get the Trident of Poseidon for you, what do you say?"

Lucia: "..."

She felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Very simple!

Because his virtue was not commensurate with his position.

Even though Lucia obtained the Trident of Poseidon and gained the power to control the sea, her own strength was still too weak.

Could Poseidon's Trident kill Bai Ye?

In Lucia's hands, this was almost an impossible task!

But can Bai Ye kill Lucia, who wields the Trident of Poseidon?

It shouldn't be too difficult!

With his electromagnetic speed and the [Dimensional Array Shangri-La], Bai Ye might not be able to deal with Poseidon's Trident in a head-on confrontation, but if he wanted to ambush someone... that would be too easy.

Lucia vaguely sensed the reason.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! A giant octopus monster is hovering in the open sea and is attacking our sisters!"

A mermaid hurried over and reported to Queen Lucia.

Lucia's expression changed slightly:

"Kraken?"

The Kraken is a sea monster controlled by Captain Davy Jones of the Flying Dutchman. It has a terrifyingly large body and countless tentacles, and can easily destroy a huge ship.

Because of its enormous size, when it floats to the surface, some sailors mistake its body for a "small island" and even set up camp on it, only to be swallowed up by the sea when it sinks.

"In the unfathomable depths of the sea, the Kraken sleeps, having slumbered for centuries, and will continue to rest upon the giant sea worm until one day its flames warm the seabed, and men and angels alike will witness it rise from the sea with a roar, and all on the surface will be destroyed." — Alfred the Great, King of Wessex, Anglo-Saxon England.

"Is it Davy Jones's little cutie?" Bai Ye asked curiously, "How did you get involved with that little cutie? He's not someone to be trifled with!"

Even cannon fire couldn't kill it. If it weren't for Davy Jones creating an "accident" to save his own life, allowing the British Navy to take it down, no one would know how long this little cutie would have lived.

“How could we possibly provoke the Kraken?” Lucia glared at Bai Ye and said, “It must be because you humans landed on the island that the Kraken sensed the presence of strangers and came looking for us. Otherwise, how come our Sirens have been living peacefully with the Kraken on Sirena Island for so many years, keeping to ourselves, when things have changed so much today?”

white night:"……"

What the hell does this have to do with them?

It is clearly your Sirens who have made your home in the Demon Prison. It's like a mouse sleeping next to a cat. The cat is only temporarily not eating you because it's a favor. But please remember, the cat can eat you!

So what if they come over to eat you mermaids because they're in a bad mood?

Lucia didn't bother to argue with Bai Ye and hurriedly ran outside with the mermaids.

The Kraken has come knocking on our door—this is no small matter!

Bai Ye thought for a moment and then followed behind them.

Perhaps the arrival of the Kraken will make Lucia truly realize that his idea was correct.

In this world, if you don't have strength, anyone will dare to step on you!

"boom--!

! ”

Upon reaching the shore of Serena Island, a deafening roar was heard, accompanied by a tremendous tremor. An enormous, dark gray tentacle burst forth from the water, splashing water everywhere.

On the shore, compared to the giant sea monster, the mermaids looked as small as ants.

The mermaids went berserk, unleashing a barrage of harpoons and wooden spears at the Kraken, but they couldn't even pierce its skin, let alone repel this little cutie!

"Wow, that's a huge octopus!" Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise. "It's so big that it can't fit in one pot; we'd need two barbecue grills!"

The four enormous tentacles of the Kraken wreaked havoc on the shore of Serena Island, and the mermaids had no way to deal with it.

Watching his people being crushed one by one into a bloody mess by the tentacles of the Kraken, Lucia gritted his teeth and could only approach Bai Ye, saying:

"Now only you can defeat that Kraken. If you can kill it, I can promise to take you to Poseidon's temple!"

"However, you must guarantee that after you obtain the Trident of Poseidon, you will provide our Sirens with a stable and worry-free living environment."

Lucia had no choice but to accept it.

Faced with the immediate threat of the Kraken and the future environmental crisis for the Sirens, she must make a choice.

"Haha!" Bai Ye laughed: "No problem, these are all minor issues once I obtain the Trident of Poseidon."

Having convinced Lucia, Bai Ye stopped watching the show and stepped out.

"Boom—!"

A thunderclap resounded in the sky, and dark clouds gathered, their eerie blue charges colliding and radiating a chilling killing intent.

The Kraken stopped moving, probably sensing the threat, and its enormous eyes looked towards Bai Ye.

"roar--!

! ”

The Kraken roared, and one of its arms rolled upwards from the seabed, bursting through the air before slamming down towards Bai Ye.

That immense power seemed to pierce through the air, making a "whoosh" sound, and wherever the tentacles passed, people felt a pressure as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them.

“This Squidward seems pretty smart, knowing who the real threat to it is. It’s a pity… it’s with that cuckold Davy Jones!” Bai Ye shook his head slightly and murmured, “Then I’ll just have to send you to make takoyaki.”

He raised his hand towards the sky and gently clenched it:

"Lei Ying—!"

! ”

In an instant, the sky swirled and all the dark clouds gathered together in the vortex.

At this moment, heaven and earth lost their color.

It was as if everything had frozen in time.

"boom--!

!

! ”

A massive bolt of lightning, as thick as a colossal python, struck the Kraken of the North Sea. After a series of sizzling explosions, the aroma of cooked meat gradually wafted from the shore, extremely enticing.

Bai Ye smacked his lips:

"If there were cumin, it would definitely taste even better!"

Chapter 207 Madam, you don't want the good stuff to go to outsiders, do you?

Struck by Bai Ye's lightning attack, the giant sea monster, its body emitting wisps of blue smoke, slowly collapsed.

However, the aroma of takoyaki made many people eager to try it.

The Kraken may look scary, but being able to eat it might be a unique kind of thrill, right?

Before Bai Ye and Lucia could even speak, many mermaids and crew members of the Black Pearl excitedly stepped forward and cut off a lot of the meat from the Kraken that had been electrocuted, and then grilled it.

Needless to say, the mermaids also suffered the loss of many of their sisters due to the arrival of the Kraken. It was perfectly reasonable for them to retaliate by eating its flesh.

The crew of the Black Pearl, on the other hand, were indulging in the feeling of showing off after eating the flesh of the infamous Kraken. They went to sea in pursuit of thrills!

Lucia looked at the fallen Kraken, then glanced at Bai Ye with a strange expression, and said:

"A question suddenly came to mind."
