Still, that’s the thing; Wen Yu had no intention of holding anyone accountable, but that didn’t mean the Sea King clan wouldn’t have to pay a price—this was the punishment for choosing the wrong side.
The Sea King was wise. He used his life and the significant loss of his clan's power to calm the consequences of choosing the wrong side, earning a relatively relaxed living environment for the remaining Sea King clan.
It was fair and reasonable.
Thus, Wen Yu nodded.
“Alright.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Yu could even feel the air in the entire cave becoming tranquil.
“Then, my lord, I will begin.”
The Sea King said, and then the cluster of seaweed that the Sea King was parasitizing suddenly changed!
...
The tribal will entity was born from the collective will of all individuals of the race.
Their existence state was quite similar to that of planetary will, and many times Wen Yu found himself wondering if these tribal will entities were just weakened versions of planetary wills?
Correspondingly, their life forms left Wen Yu puzzled.
For example, Lolo; Wen Yu had always been curious about one thing—how could the entity without a physical form be killed? Would he have to exterminate all the ants? That was clearly unrealistic.
And now, what the Sea King was doing was the complete process of self-annihilation of a tribal will entity!
Countless bubbles erupted from the seaweed, and in the next second, the cluster of seaweed boiled up. They transformed their form, starting from the Ibira shape with a dragon head and octopus tail, rapidly changing into the appearance of a shark, then shifting into various bizarre states until finally, the seaweed transformed into the appearance of the sea demon king, and another dramatic change occurred!
Those various forms mixed together quickly transformed into an even stranger shape—Wen Yu couldn't even describe that distorted, bizarre form!
It had features of Ibira, as well as characteristics of the sea demon king, but more importantly, it had a strange appearance that Wen Yu could not name!
“Thank you for your mercy, my lord!”
The Sea King emitted a voice; this sound was mixed and echoed, carrying a certain discomforting feeling, while Wen Yu merely narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the shape the Sea King had transformed into, nodding lightly.
Wen Yu had no intention of dealing with the remaining matters, but since the Sea King was so compliant, what harm was there in letting them off the hook?
Thus, with a crisp “pop,” it was like a mischievous child had burst a bubble.
The oddly shaped Sea King shattered right before Wen Yu's eyes...
...
To be honest, this scene made it hard for witnesses to discern whether the Sea King was truly dead or just feigning death.
But an instinctive feeling told Wen Yu that this time, the Sea King was likely really dead...
There were no grand farewells, nor was there a spectacular death scene, but for some reason, Wen Yu couldn't help but recall Lin Haifeng’s “seeking death” moment.
With greater power comes greater responsibility; they sacrificed their lives for what they cared about, and for this, Wen Yu felt admiration.
It was just a pity that Wen Yu seemed to have nothing he truly cared about...
Outside the cave, the other two Sea King clan members let out painful cries— for them, the extinction of the tribal will entity was painfully obvious.
But they were only crying; judging by their attitude when they led the way earlier, the Sea King's decision to take his own life must have been made long ago.
Not for any other reason, just to appease the anger of the victors—there was truly no distinction of right or wrong here!
Wen Yu’s perception split into two; one part fixed deep in the cave, while the other wrapped around the two Sea King clan members outside.
As the Sea King perished, the two Sea King clan members’ bodies quickly shrank until they stabilized at about twenty percent reduction.
Correspondingly, their power shrank by around thirty percent.
