“The first, and only, internal conflict of our tribe has begun, but I underestimated the power of ibira.”
“He has always been hiding his strength, perhaps in preparation for such a day.”
As the Sea King narrated, Wen Yu seemed to feel the brutality of the battle at that time.
Countless sea beasts and members of the Sea King Clan surged towards ibira like a tide, only to collapse under ibira's strength. At the initial stage of level five, ibira possessed the ability to face ten thousand, even a hundred thousand enemies.
“But, individual power still appears insignificant beneath collective strength…”
Wen Yu remained silent upon hearing this, but he felt a slight urge to laugh.
If at the time Wen Yu had just entered level five, he might have been able to contend against a hundred thousand. At that time, his individual strength indeed couldn't match the overall strength of Beijing, but under the snowball effect, individual power had instead thrived, until now...
Well, it seems there’s no need to elaborate on the current situation.
However, one fact cannot be ignored—when he was at level five, no matter how much Heaven-Piercing power ibira had, he definitely couldn't escape the entire ocean's pursuit.
The losses from that campaign were brushed aside by the Sea King; he merely stated the outcome.
“ibira was exhausted by the endless sea beasts, and in the end, when he still wanted to resist, I sealed him with my skill. Now, he is beneath the Ancestral Land of our tribe.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu narrowed his eyes and asked, “Is it just a seal?”
According to the Sea King's account, the battle situation at that time should have been exceptionally clear. It was merely a trivial matter for the Sea King to deal with ibira—Wen Yu immersed himself in the scene of the Sea King then. Compared to sealing, it would be better to eliminate such a calamity.
Hearing Wen Yu's question, the Sea King spoke again.
“This is the second reason I wanted to seek you, my lord.”
“Concerning how you handle our tribe.”
As Wen Yu had thought before—after he resolved issues with the earth's will and celestial gods, the Sea King Clan would undoubtedly react.
Resistance was unrealistic because it would only lead to the extermination of the clan. As the saying goes, it’s better to live poorly than to die well. Moreover, after the recent conversation with the Sea King, Wen Yu also discovered that the Sea King was indeed a rational being.
He did not want to accompany his people to bury themselves along with the earth's will—actually, it wasn't even about burial; they would probably die without any value!
Therefore, he naturally had to provide Wen Yu with a satisfactory explanation.
“Deep Sea Command (race foundation level, passive skill) (tribal will exclusive): Bestowed upon all kin life forms, every kin life form is naturally endowed with the power to command all oceanic tribes!
Note: The quality and quantity of sea beasts an individual can command depend on that individual's strength.”
“This is my fifth skill, and it is precisely because of this skill that our Sea King Clan became the absolute overlords of the deep sea.”
This statement from the Sea King was quite reasonable—though he had mentioned that ibira was the first sea king, this title was akin to a sequence number, merely a mark of a certain power, while the Deep Sea Command skill was the essence of what made a Sea King a Sea King.
The terrifying aspect of this skill was clear to Wen Yu at a glance—each clan member could have hundreds of bodyguards. It appeared that the Sea King Clan was sparse in numbers, but when war broke out, these individuals could unleash a power that would make everyone tremble!
A slight horizontal comparison of the reproductive abilities of the sea demon king, coupled with this skill, could indeed have a significant impact.
It’s no wonder the Sea King would cast ibira aside.
“Compulsory Offering (race foundation level, active skill) (tribal will exclusive): A sealing skill. Suppress, seal, extract the power of sealed beings, and transform it into an amplification for the entire tribe!”
