An invincible journey starting from a different race

But even so, Reinhardt still felt deeply fearful, so he killed the deep-sea mermaids and almost wiped out the entire deep-sea mermaid clan, with only three or two barely escaping.

As for those three or two mermaids, it should be impossible for Rusalka to descend.

It wasn't because they lacked strength, but because they probably didn't have a medium that could allow Rusalka to descend.

Could it be that... the deep-sea mermaids have potential branches that Reinhardt is unaware of?

Thinking of this, Reinhardt slowly lifted his body out from under the sea, then squinted his eyes and carefully examined the breath.

And then came to a conclusion.

No, this should be Rusalka, the fusion of the only three or two remaining mermaids, because this aura is too weak and does not have the power it had when it competed with him.

However, even Rusalka from back then would definitely not be a match for Reinhardt now. After devouring the entire deep-sea mermaid clan, Reinhardt's strength has greatly increased. He is very confident that no creature in the deep sea will attack him now.

I will be the next legend of the deep sea.

Thinking of this, Reinhardt drove the huge octopus body towards the breath of Rusalka.

At the same time, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face.

It just so happened that I failed to devour Rusalka last time and obtained the last bit of power from the ancient times.

But this time, he will not let the other party go.

Such a beautiful body,

Must,

It must go into my stomach.

Otherwise, it would be such a pity.

Reinhardt's smile became more greedy.

……

what.

Such a beautiful Oppai,

Must,

You have to experience it yourself.

Otherwise, it would be a pity.

After seeing the huge mermaid that suddenly appeared, Aesop's expression gradually became firm.

In fact, it's not just Aesop. Stank, Jer and Ganqiu also have similar ideas.

I'm wondering where this beautiful "big sister" came from?

What kind of temperament is this?

They are totally incomparable to those three little mermaids who look not very mature.

The unique temperament of the nearly two-meter-tall mermaid in front of them gave Stank, Jer and Ganqiu different insights and experiences.

Stank murmured, "Powerful."

Gan Qiu murmured, "Beautiful."

Jer murmured, "Immortality."

After the three of them finished speaking, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then after exchanging glances, they all agreed with each other's views.

Indeed, the single adjective "僈" is simply not enough to describe the mermaid holding the sword in front of them. She simply perfectly fits all the men's fantasies about the opposite sex.

It’s so beautiful, so beautiful.

Everyone sighed like this in their hearts.

After gazing out at the sea, the mermaid gradually regained consciousness. She lowered her head slightly and looked at the three escorts in front of her. A hint of doubt flashed in her heroic eyes: "Who... are you?"

Before the four escorts could answer, Rusalka looked at the sword in her hand with some confusion and muttered.

"Didn't I lose the battle with Reinhardt? Why am I here on land? And why am I so weak? The source of my power is also off-base. Who is the Water Fairy?"

This series of questions left the three escorts completely at a loss as to how to answer, because except for her first question, no one could answer the rest.

And even for the first question, they didn't know how to answer.

This is a bit too long to talk about.

"Um, why don't you introduce yourself first?" Jer spoke first. "Don't you know who we are? It seems that the fusion of the three sisters has formed a brand new entity."

"Three sisters?" Rusalka looked down at her body again and said, "So there are only three materials in my body this time? No wonder I'm so weak..."

This statement hinted at a hidden message: the mermaid in front of her wasn't at her peak. Her strength likely depended on the fusion materials... ahem, what fusion materials? That's a strange statement, isn't it? It's more likely determined by the number of fusions involved. The more mermaids involved, the stronger she becomes. Considering her initial statement, the deep-sea mermaids must have used their entire clan's strength to fuse her, and then fought against Reinhard, but they clearly failed. This mermaid's last memory likely involved that battle, so it's unclear what happened to the deep-sea mermaids.

So everyone had to give her a brief account of the situation.

When Rusalka learned that the deep-sea mermaid clan had been almost wiped out and only three little mermaids were left alive, deep loneliness and self-blame emerged in her eyes.

"Or... is this outcome inevitable?" Rusalka murmured. "I'm sorry. Although I had already thought of this when I was defeated, it's still hard for me to accept it when it actually happened... I didn't expect my people to come to the mainland for help. It's indeed my responsibility."

As she spoke, Rusalka shook her head, putting aside her inner self-blame, then looked at the four escorts seriously and began to introduce herself.

"My name is Rusalka, the captain of the Atlantis guards. Please give me your guidance."

"Atlantis?" Aesop asked, remembering what Lysa had told him. "Wasn't Atlantis destroyed a thousand years ago?"

"That's right." Rusalka said calmly, "But I am from a thousand years ago."

The four escorts immediately showed surprised expressions.

"It seems my descendants haven't introduced me to you," Rusalka said. "I am the captain of the Atlantis guard, and also... a ghost who should have vanished along with the Lord of the Deep Sea and Atlantis long ago."

This is another amazing news.

"Are you the servant of the Lord of the Deep Sea?" Aesop asked.

Rusalka nodded and said, "I understand that, but my master doesn't need servants. Compared to Him, my power is far too weak. Otherwise, I wouldn't be unable to protect Atlantis after His death."

Having said this, a trace of loneliness flashed in Rusalka's eyes again.

Ah, this really is... a big sister with a story.

Jer asked again, "Then how did you survive until now? The fall of Atlantis has been more than a thousand years, right? No species should have such a long lifespan."

"My current state can't be considered alive," Rusalka said. "My deep-sea mermaid tribe was once the servants of the Lord of the Deep. We left Atlantis after its destruction. The deep sea was in turmoil then, with various races fighting for my Lord's legacy and tearing at his body. I was powerless then, and could only do my best to protect my people. But the problem is, as servants of Atlantis, my people inherently dislike fighting. Without Atlantis's protection, they simply wouldn't be able to survive the cruel depths of the deep sea. And I can't protect them forever, so I've decided to share my power with my people, just as my Lord once shared his power with me."

"This is an ancient magic that allows me to exist within the bodies of every member of my tribe. In times of danger, they can gather together and summon me to protect them. This summoning method, because it gathers everyone's power, is also called a fusion summoning. And only in this way can I return to the world."

"So that's how it is." Aesop understood.

"...I mean, it's actually possible to do this, right?" Jer couldn't help but sigh. "Deep-sea magic is indeed quite different from land magic. I've never heard of such magic on land."

"But I still failed." Rusalka sighed softly. "This method has a huge drawback. No matter how carefully the power is passed down, it will be lost. And for me to reach my full power, as the mermaids multiply, the number of fish required will increase. At first, only ten descendants were needed to summon my full form, but now, that number is tenfold. And the me summoned by three mermaids is so weak that it's unbearable to look at. And that guy named Reinhardt has already taken away too much of the Lord's power. Now I have no way to compete with him... Is my race doomed to extinction?"

It was obvious that Rusalka had no hope for the four escorts in front of her.

Being looked down upon by a beautiful older sister from ancient times piqued the foursome's competitive spirit. Just as they were about to show off their skills to Rusalka, she asked doubtfully, "But why am I still here? The Narcissus Mermaid should be gone. I can't sense her presence."

"A mermaid...what is that?"

Rusalka said, "I can't be summoned by any random merman merging with me. A merman is needed as the core, and throughout the ages, mermen with this identity and ability have been given the name Narcissus Mermaid. And when I descend, I can connect with the Narcissus Mermaid's mind... But this time is different. I don't sense any Narcissus Mermaid's presence at all. I'm absolutely certain there's no Narcissus Mermaid within me, only a very strange power."

“But when I tried to connect with this power through my mind, I discovered…”

"But what did you find?" everyone asked subconsciously.

"In that heart..." Rusalka lowered her head in confusion, "there's only my breasts."

Stank, Jer, and Ganqiu: "..."

357 is because I can only last 24 minutes at most.

At that moment, the eyes of the three people fell on Aesop.

Aesop saw that everyone was looking at him, and after hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and looked at the empty place next to him.

"Stop pretending! Why are you still pretending when there are only a few of us?!"

"Don't look at the breasts! There are still things more important than breasts in this world!"

"If you're going to look, do it secretly! Don't embarrass us land creatures! Don't let this ocean chick think that we land creatures can't think about anything other than breasts!"

The three of them immediately pulled Aesop aside and gave him a lecture on moral education.

Perhaps because Rusalka's appearance and status are not comparable to those of ordinary nightmares, the three bodyguards still want to leave a good impression on her, at least not an impression that is too bad or too vulgar.

So the trio launched a double threat to Aesop, both physically and psychologically, although they also knew that it would be useless. Aesop would not be threatened by any means.

And just then, they heard Rusalka behind them say, "My time is up."

Is the time coming?

Several people turned their heads and looked at Rusalka with some confusion, asking, "What does it mean that the time is coming?"

Rusalka explained, "I can't maintain my current state forever. Soon, the fusion will be dissolved."

Jer asked in surprise, "Is there a time limit for fusion?"

Rusalka nodded and said, "Because I am no longer considered a living being, my descendants can use their bodies to bear my presence, but it is not permanent. How long I can exist depends on the number of fusions I undergo and the strength of each individual."

Aesop asked, "If the fusion material is the three sisters, how long can you maintain this form?"

Rusalka carefully sensed her physical condition and said, "Five minutes at most. It's almost time now."

"Only five minutes?"

"Yes," Rusalka said. "The three little mermaids I summoned this time were probably not yet adults, or had only just reached adulthood. They're far from being considered normal combatants. Under these circumstances, they've managed to hold out for five minutes, which is quite an effort."

As she spoke, Rusalka also sighed softly.

"But if it's only this long and intense, I won't be able to protect them from Reinhardt. It seems the history of my mermaid clan will end here."

After saying this, everyone noticed that Rusalka's body trembled slightly. Obviously, as she said, the three mermaid sisters who served as the fusion material could not hold on any longer.

At this time, Aesop walked up to Rusalka, looked up at her, and then said seriously: "I can help you protect your people."

"Huh?" Rusalka looked at Aesop in surprise, "You?"

"Yes."

"Do you know how powerful Reinhardt is?" asked Rusalka.

Aesop asked, "Do you know how powerful I am?"

Rusalka was even more surprised.

What a confident guy.

Even the trio standing by were extremely surprised.

This guy was clearly saying before that he didn't know if he could be a match for Reinhardt, so why is he suddenly so arrogant now?

"It seems... you're the one who replaced the water nymph and helped my descendants merge," Rusalka said. "So, it seems you do have some power that cannot be underestimated. I always thought Reinhard had no rivals in the deep sea, but now I think that doesn't mean he has no rivals on land. The ocean and land have been separated for thousands of years, and I really don't know much about the land anymore. Well, what's your name?"

"Aesop."

"You said you could help me protect my three descendants."

Aesop nodded.

"So, Aesop." Rusalka stared at Aesop and asked seriously, "What is the price?"

Aesop slowly raised his hand and pointed at the grandeur of Rusalka.

Rusalka was slightly stunned, recalling the scene she had just seen when she was communicating with Aesop. She was a little bit incredulous: "Is this it?"

"This is it."

Rusalka didn't know what to say anymore.

Logically speaking, asking a powerful being like Aesop to intervene would come at a high price. For example, in the rules of the deep sea, if one tribe wanted to gain the protection of another, they would often have to become its vassal or slave for generations.

丨And Aesop’s request...is that all?

Are all creatures on land so simple?
