The power of an individual is determined by three aspects: skills, racial talents, and physical fitness.
The Sea King clan in the Ibira form, as for their racial talents, goes without saying—they are significantly stronger than sea demons! Each one belongs to the innate divine beast species!
But sea demons are not to be underestimated either...
The awakening of skills is filled with uncertainty, and physical fitness has natural limitations. If we say that the power level of a fully realized Ibira Sea King is 10, then the power level of the Sea Demon King can roughly reach around 7.
There is a gap, and it cannot be ignored, but it is not incomparable...
The food requirements that once troubled the birth of the Ibira Sea King have now become trivial with the opening of the Demon Realm Gate. However, two issues still remain.
The first is their reproductive capability.
The reproductive ability of the Sea King clan is quite weak, with a success rate of less than one percent in evolution, while sea demon kings possess sexual reproduction capabilities. This greatly compensates for the population scarcity of the Sea King clan, but the Ibira Sea Kings cannot reproduce; they are unable to bear offspring.
The second issue concerns land adaptability...
The Sea King clan members in Ibira form cannot adapt to a waterless environment unless they have special skills or their levels are sufficiently high, which is not a problem for normal Sea King clan members.
They never considered living on land...
But the Sea King is different after all.
He longs for the land...
Not only is there a certain ambition for conquest, but he also yearns for everything related to the culture and technology of humans. Additionally, the newly born fifth skill of the Sea King bestows the Sea King clan members with the innate ability to command sea beasts—having this ability makes individual strength seem less important in the eyes of the Sea King, who does not excel in combat.
Can you fight? Can you fight against 100 of them? 1000 of them?
In this ocean, although there is only one freak like Ibira, there are plenty of super sea beasts that rank lower than Ibira... With the awakening of the Sea King’s fifth skill, all these sea beasts are controllable!
What does this mean? It means that from now on, the Sea King clan truly deserves the title of "Sea King Clan"—this is substantive, unlike the empty name of "Sea King" that Ibira once achieved solely through the deterrence of individual combat prowess!
The Sea King clan members are already scarce; in the eyes of the Sea King, they are rulers, not frontline warriors fighting with daggers!
All these factors shifted the Sea King's choices.
From this, it is evident that the Sea King's earlier statement to Wen Yu, "he chose the Sea Demon King form due to resources," was clearly "humble"—the real purpose was the ambition for the land.
The Sea King control plan set by Lin Haifeng... was not without purpose—these high-ranking individuals all behave in a similar manner.
Wen Yu did not expose the flaws in the Sea King's words; he simply continued to listen.
"When I proposed to abandon the Ibira Sea King transformation plan, Ibira said nothing; he just turned and left. I thought this was the effect of my tribal will entity's influence, but it was only a day later when Ibira returned to the Ancestral Land that I realized Ibira had never been under my control from the beginning!"
...
The deep sea stirred with mud, the seawater froze, and wild beasts roared.
When Ibira returned to the Ancestral Land, he brought with him complete disaster!
His eyes were blood-red, filled with madness, while the Ibira Sea King beside him, which was significantly smaller, was confused and swayed its eight tentacles in bewilderment.
In the next second, Ibira opened his huge mouth, and his sharp teeth plunged into the body of the Ibira Sea King like daggers. He tore forcefully, and soon the Ibira Sea King was left in tatters!
"What are you doing?"
The Sea King was completely unprepared for the scene unfolding before him; he shouted loudly in question while attempting to control Ibira's actions—however, this time, the authority of the tribal will entity had completely lost its effect on Ibira.
