"Actually, it was this child who found me... It said it had something to convey to you, but its body couldn't support it anymore. But now it seems... It's still a little short?"

Shuiyue's voice sounded a little embarrassed, while Maria looked at the pool of sea fluid with a slightly furrowed brow.

But at this moment, Maria suddenly realized that something was wrong.

She subconsciously raised her head and looked above her head.

The originally bright sky was now filled with dark clouds!

They gather here, rolling and surging.

Thunder flashed in it, and gradually a roaring sound was transmitted.

A strange dark red color appeared in the sky

The wind...began to sweep across the city...

……

"We regret to inform all citizens that we have just received a notification from the Messenger of the Disaster that a natural disaster will occur in the area in three days... We regretfully have to suspend all current entertainment activities in Dosores. Please return to your resting places in an orderly manner. This ship will depart after midnight tonight. Thank you for your understanding..."

The cold broadcast spread throughout the city, and after the initial daze, the crowd suddenly broke into unprecedented agitation.

Everyone knew clearly what this meant, and many people's faces became extremely ugly.

The originally cheerful crowd also broke into quarrels at this moment.

The dark red sky is the best portrayal of the moment. The original good mood is gone, replaced by chaos.

Maria stood there quietly, thinking constantly.

Shuiyue on the side scratched his head.

"A natural disaster? This is difficult to deal with... I don't know if they can survive it."

"they?"

Maria turned her head.

"That's what I was talking about... these Kaiji's companions."

Shuiyue smiled awkwardly.

"When it first saw me, it said that its companions would arrive here soon... I thought they would come through the water exchange system, but now it seems... things are a bit troublesome."

Shuiyue continued.

Maria frowned deeply at this time.

After a moment, she suddenly raised her head as if she had thought of something.

She watched silently, her expression gradually becoming depressed.

"Is that so..."

……

"hunter."

After Maria and Shuiyue separated, she returned to her hometown of Yharnam almost immediately.

And over here, the puppet has been waiting for a long time.

The other girls also came back here, each with a worried look on their face.

"Dossores submitted a request to us, hoping that we can quickly remove the link. They will be setting sail soon..."

The puppet's voice was calm, showing no sign of panic.

Maria just glanced at the people present and waved her hand.

"Take them away, puppet."

"Eh?"

"I want to stay here."

"what?!"

Maria's words uttered, and everyone present was stunned.

The first to refute it were the Twin Wolves.

"Wait a minute, Ms. Maria!"

The two little ones nervously grabbed Maria's hands, their faces anxious.

They have always had full confidence in Maria and believe that Maria can solve all problems.

But such confidence is limited.

Even they didn't think Maria could withstand the natural disaster...

That's a natural disaster!

A natural disaster that can destroy an entire mobile city-state with just one blow!

From the moment they were born, they were constantly instilled with the horror of natural disasters... No matter how much they trusted Maria, they never imagined that one day Maria would have to face a natural disaster.

This is almost impossible!

But Maria didn't explain anything to the girls. She just frowned and looked at the doll beside her.

The doll also rarely responded to Maria immediately.

She looked at Maria worriedly, her expression conflicted for a while before she spoke in a low voice.

"Are you going?"

"I want to confirm something..."

"I understand."

Hearing Maria's words, the doll also shut its mouth.

She knew Maria's character and also knew that it was impossible for her to convince this stubborn woman.

So she just chose to accept it after remaining silent.

"I will lead them out of the range of the natural disaster and wait for you..."

"No... Doll, don't wait for me..."

Unexpectedly, even the suggestion of waiting for the puppet was rejected.

Maria looked at the gradually swirling clouds in the sky, her eyes becoming increasingly sharp.

"You...must stay away from here..."

……

In Yanan, Maria's words are almost always the final word.

Although Maria and Le like to interact with girls more often and seem easy to talk to, everyone actually forgets one key point.

Maria is absolute.

The entire Yharnam was created by Maria. Her abilities, her fighting prowess, and her majesty do not require any rejection.

Everyone must follow the orders she gives.

So the moment she issued the order, the puppet led the entire Yharnam to leave this place.

That night, other mobile platforms also left one after another.

Maria saw the ship belonging to Rhodes Island.

There, she felt some attention.

But she didn't give any response.

The next morning, Dosoles didn't have time to change the water and chose to leave.

In just one day, this pristine green land no longer had those vast natural structures.

It also revealed the dense forest underground.

A forest that looked familiar to Maria.

There are actually traces of this.

After all, Dosoles wasn’t built in a day.

Before it became a tourist city, it naturally needed to change its water source frequently...but seawater cannot be used directly, and going to the beach would consume too much of it.

Therefore, they will naturally choose a place with water as their area for regular water changes.

And this area needs to be stable enough so that they don't need to be replaced frequently.

Such a place will only appear in a sufficiently stable forest.

That is to say...

"Is this right here?"

Maria walked calmly into the depths of the forest step by step.

She still felt the strong and restless atmosphere deep in the forest.

But this time, the forest did not stop Maria's exploration.

It even guides Maria in some way.

The grass on the ground fell in one direction, and the vines and flowers grew in a strange direction.

A road slowly rolled out between the trees...

Maria just walked along like this.

From day to night.

then……

She saw a dying three-headed dog...

This giant dog was very similar to the one Maria hunted when she first came into this world, but it was much kinder and also...older than that one.

Dark red clouds rolled and swirled above the sky, and in the huge lake in the distance, the water began to surge violently.

This kind-hearted three-headed dog lay quietly on the ground, as if it had made all the preparations.

After sensing Maria's arrival, it slowly raised its head, the only part of its body that still had the strength to do so.

My dim eyes could hardly see anything.

But it still felt Maria's presence.

"..."

"...Are you a beast?"

Maria looked at the other person and asked a question she already knew the answer to.

She could feel the strong aura emanating from the other party.

There is no doubt that this is a beast... a behemoth.

But it was different from those hideous beasts Maria had seen. When Maria saw it, she did not have that strong desire to try to hunt it. She just felt a sense of sadness.

The giant beast's limbs were lying on the ground, almost merging with the ground.

It seemed like it hadn't moved in years.

Plants grew from its body, and its power was continuously injected into the earth...

It... is guarding this place...

"Woo~"

The loss of strength has left it without the strength to even speak.

But it still forced itself to look at Maria, with a plea in its eyes.

Fluorescent yellow fireflies danced around it.

They have no wisdom, but instinctively follow their 'mother'.

This forest is a manifestation of its power.
