The waves were now very close, and all that was left from the real world was a set of melodies and a frightening thought.
The crude cultists did not understand the power of the Lord of the Deep, but the sentinels' long observation and service had accumulated all information about the sirens. As the salty sea breeze and the echoing sound of the waves gradually became clear, the 'sisters' Firna and Rayna realized where the source of the power was — it was the Dark Blue Rift.
The siren scout just now was probably some sort of 'vanguard', and her death had formed a coordinate on the other end of the rift, which was guiding the power of the Lord of the Deep!
"Blow up the rift, now!"
Firna and Rayna shouted. Under their control, the edge of the Dark Blue Rift began to flicker violently and showed signs of collapsing inwards. Beside them, Borken did not know what was going on, but he had guessed that something bad was about to happen from the unusual phenomenon around him and the unusual reaction of the elven twins. This time, he did not question them, and helped them destroy the rift at once.
It certainly pained him. He and his followers had invested too much time and effort into this valley, and the Dark Blue Rift before them was the largest and most stable 'gate' they had created so far. It was on a completely different level from those temporary rifts that could only be opened for a few hours. This was also one of the main control nodes, and once it was destroyed, they would have to pay a huge price to build another control node. Even so, he did not hesitate.
The withered and twisted vines extended from the platform to the edge of the fissure. Together with the rune rings created by the Gemini, the stable structure of the fissure was further damaged. A powerful suction force came from the depths of the fissure, pulling the 'door', the soil, and the rocks in the vicinity into the fissure. Teeth-numbing creaking sounds came from all directions, mixed with the tremors of the entire valley. During this process, the eerie and ethereal song never stopped — the tide is coming.
Water vapor rose, and a hazy fog like sea fog filled Firna and Rayna's vision. The entire valley was shimmering, and the faintly discernible sea appeared in the air. Borken suddenly felt suffocated. Even if he was sure that the essence around him was still air, he actually felt as if he was submerged in seawater and had difficulty breathing. He felt salt condensing on his bark as waves washed over his treetop. As a Legendary champion, he was sure that such an 'attack' would not be fatal, but he did not know how to react to such a form of attack that he had never seen before … For the first time in hundreds of years, he was a little flustered.
But at that moment, a loud rumble exploded in the air. It was the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs. The tree people who were looking for dry land in the valley looked towards the source of the sound in unison. They saw an illusory wave crashing against the nearby rocks, with towering splashes falling from the air. Amidst the raging waves, a huge, blurry female upper body poked out of the water. The illusory silhouette formed of water vapor, spray, salt, and sound waves slowly lowered her body from the air, staring at the production zone, control center, mining site, and the nearby mutated military camp in the valley. A voice that was trembling and rhythmic wafted from the waves. "… What are you doing?"
As the voice spoke, an equally massive arm rapidly formed in the waves and reached towards the sisters Firna and Rayna who were rapidly closing the rift. Petia's angry voice descended along with the arm that descended like a collapsing tower. "Don't … close it …"
"This is not your deep sea!" With a wave of her hand, Pherna completed the last operation to close the crack. As the blue channel rapidly collapsed and disintegrated, she quickly outlined a few complex runes in the air and gave instructions to the rune stone in the dark blue network that had already begun to operate. Then she raised her head and looked at the giant wave that had begun to dissipate in the air and the female body that was about to disintegrate. "I hope you like this greeting gift, King of the Intruders."
* Boom!!! *
With a loud bang, the tide above the valley and the figure of the siren queen were torn apart in the huge explosion. The monstrous seawater poured down from the sky, but before it could touch the ground, ninety percent of it had vanished in the air like a dream, while the remaining ten percent turned into a downpour, splashing on the twisted treants and the army of mutants at the bottom of the valley.
Then, a series of tremors of various sizes came, but the tremors seemed to have been transmitted from another dimension to the real world. The air was trembling, the earth was shaking, and the magical field was fluctuating. The dark blue rift that had just closed was bursting with tiny blue light, and a storm invisible to the human eye seemed to be raging in the dark blue network. Borken was still in shock. He seemed to hear roars and panicked shouts from afar, but just as he was about to listen, those voices disappeared. The connection was completely cut off, and the power and will projected from the distant deep sea had completely left here.
"Did you kill her? Or just banish her? "Borken looked at the elven twins." What was that thing that you activated just now? Is that also one of the functions of the runestone? "
"This level of attack is not enough to kill the siren queen. She had the choir of the deep sea behind her to share the damage, but this failure should have left a deep impression on her." Firna looked back at Borken. "As for the blow just now … Grand Hierarch, that is just one of the basic functions of the runestone to protect itself. Such a huge and complex system should have some defensive measures in the face of external invasion, right?"
"Compared to these meaningless questions, let's act as soon as possible." Rayna quickly said. "The last blow just now has exposed one of our trump cards. Our enemy will not be so reckless next time. Grand Hierarch, go and assemble your army. This wasteland can no longer provide us with enough 'drop-off points' … Although time is short, we still have the upper hand. "
Borken took a deep look at the elven sisters before him. His treetop swayed slightly as he slowly said, "Okay."
The next moment, dense roars rang from both inside and outside the valley as heavy footsteps began to resound. In this' assembly point ', in the wasteland outside the valley, in the distant plains, hills, rivers, and the magnificent ruins left behind by the ancient Kingdom of Gondor, millions of wandering aberrations suddenly stopped their meaningless wandering for hundreds of years. These chaotic creatures seemed to have suddenly been infused with reason as they quickly assembled into disciplined legions and began to advance towards the majestic energy barrier that stood between heaven and earth in the distance.
And behind each of these legions, there were different numbers of twisted treants who pulled out their roots and followed the legions in the form of mobile command nodes.
Firna and Rayna narrowed their eyes slightly. Relying on the massive network of roots spreading under the wasteland, they could 'see' the movements of the legions just like Borken. They saw the massive force like a dark tide, spreading towards the direction of the magnificent wall in an unstoppable manner. But at the same time … the energy barrier built by the elves and humans was still blocking the legions like the sad but stubborn souls of mortals.
They opened their eyes and looked at the shadowy sentinel towers on the distant horizon. And in their other vision, the energy field spreading around the sentinel towers was clearly visible … The wide-area energy field continuous projection technology was brought here by the primitive elves from the ancient continent of Kaldor in ancient times. It was a technology that had long been changed beyond recognition after thousands of years of tinkering. There was no secret in the eyes of the sentinels.
The ancient wall looked majestic and heavy, but in fact, it was very fragile.
…
Monstrous waves rolled up in the Endless Sea. The powerful energy gushing out from the Deep Blue Veins almost instantly swept across the entire body of water. This energy was so powerful that an 'elemental vacuum' appeared in the depths of the Endless Sea in an instant. Hundreds of millions of tons of seawater disappeared into thin air, leaving only the Deep Blue Veins on the verge of going out of control in the terrifying underwater cavity. This terrifying scene lasted for a dozen seconds before the massive elemental energy finally began to fill the 'hole' that appeared in this world, and this triggered a series of new monstrous waves.
Even the water elements that lived in the Boundless Ocean couldn't withstand such raging tides and waves.
Finally, the ruler of the water elemental realm, Gluguno, was alarmed by the terrifying waves in the sea. Like the incarnation of the ocean, the elemental lord descended into the waves and saw the local elemental lords and sirens trying to calm the waves. Under the combined efforts of the sirens, the elemental lords, and Gluguno, the turbulence in the Endless Sea finally calmed down.
"I need to know what is going on here!" Gluguno's huge body stood upright in the Endless Sea. The never-ending torrential rain poured down from the sky above, washing away the angry and confused face of the giant. "Great Absorber, when you first built the outpost here, you didn't say anything like this would happen!"
"If we didn't build the outpost here, I'm afraid you wouldn't know what kind of danger this world is facing until you and the entire elemental world perish together. This is not just a monstrous wave, gurgle."
The voice of the siren queen, Petia, came through the torrential rain, and a whirlpool appeared in the Endless Sea. The figure of the ruler of the deep rose from the whirlpool and appeared in front of Gluguno. When the latter saw Petia's current appearance, the words he wanted to say were instantly stuck in his throat. He saw that half of her body had disappeared, and only the drifting water kept repeating the process of disintegration and reassembly around her body. There were also streaks of blurry blue light drifting out from her head, spreading out in the torrential rain of the Endless Sea, forming a structure that reminded one of broken wings. These 'dispersal bodies' spread out over a hundred meters in the air, and wherever they went, the waves and the torrential rain changed their trajectory.
Gluguno was not too sure about the physiological laws of the strange 'foreign water elementals' like the sirens, but even if he did not understand, he could see that the ruler of the deep was not in a good condition. Even the powerful recovery ability of the sirens could not restore her body. Frankly speaking, he had fought with the queen for hundreds of thousands of years, but he could not hurt her to this extent.
"What's wrong with you?" The elemental lord looked at Petia, stunned. He even forgot that the latter had just called him 'Gurgle' again. "You look like you're about to be beaten to death …"
"You're not good at holding back your laughter, Gurgle. Your voice is trembling because you're trying to hold back your laughter. But I don't mind." Petia looked up at the huge whirlpool that replaced the eyes on the elemental lord's face. Her heavily injured upper body was healing very slowly, and the corrosion caused by the dark blue magic was being forced out of her body bit by bit. "If you know what a group of crazy cultists, led by an ancient mind, are doing in the Gondor wastelands, I believe you won't be able to laugh soon."
"Gondor wastelands? Cultists? Ah, those human things … "Gluguno let out a disdainful voice." I know you've been dealing with the races on the land recently, but don't you care too much about those short-lived civilizations in the material world? For millions of years, countless races have done countless things in the material world, but the cornerstone of the elements has always been immovable … "
"Look at my current state, can you repeat that again? The cornerstone of the elements has always been immovable?" The water flow that drifted out from Petia's body slowly opened up as if showing a scarred wing. "They have created something very powerful, and it's buried in the dark blue network. That thing is not completed yet, but its current power is enough to blow up a huge elemental vacuum in your Boundless Sea across half a planet and the barrier of the elemental realm. Now they have destroyed the coordinates and passage to the Loren Continent. I just tried to get in touch with my sisters on the Loren Continent, but I found that all the elemental passages to the Loren Continent have been blocked by the chaotic energy, and this is probably just one of the aftermath of the big explosion …"
"… It seems that you don't just want to talk to me about these things." Realizing that the powerful ruler before him was not joking, Gluguno's tone finally became serious. "What do you want us to do? Let me make it clear, we are not like you. No matter what happens in the material world, we cannot intervene in the material world on a large scale. We elemental creatures are part of the 'balance' of this planet, and the consequences of imbalance can be seen in Tarlonde's' contaminated fissure zone 'and the contaminated elemental creatures. To be honest, if it wasn't for your spaceship crashing through the dome and causing the dimensional infiltration, we would not have been able to fight the 'elemental war' with you … "
"Don't worry, I know you don't have much leeway to intervene in what happens in the material world, but I need you to think about your own future," Petia said slowly as she looked into the depths of the Boundless Sea, looking at the dark blue veins that were flowing and changing. "These 'surges' that are flowing at your doorstep are what you need to worry about."
"What about the situation in the material world?" Gluguno could not help but ask, "Are you just going to leave it alone?"
"I will find a way to send an expeditionary force over from the material world, whether it is in time or not, and … I believe in my allies."
