The mermaids gathered in front of the palace, praying that Munan City would quickly invite the sea god back and that the volcano would be spared.
Mu Nan City closed its gates to visitors for two days, and only after feeling that the panic within the city had subsided did it finally walk out of the palace gates with full confidence.
He swung his fishtail, stood in front of the loudspeaker, and amplified his voice with his spiritual power so that all the mermaids could hear him:
"Everyone, the previous sea goddess, Himeko, was tricked away from the ocean by humans and tragically perished a while ago, leaving us forever."
After Ji Xinyin left, there were no more white-haired mermaids in the entire Atlantis Sea. The trident belonging to the Sea God Clan has also been kept here with me ever since!
If you all don't mind, I can exercise my powers on behalf of the sea god to quell the underwater volcano.
While speaking, Mu Nancheng pretended to be in pain, but his old eyes revealed an uncontrollable excitement.
When he ascended the throne, many mermaids expressed their dissatisfaction, feeling that his spiritual power was too weak to protect the city, and called for Mu Linyuan's return.
For twenty-eight years, he had endured hardship and bided his time, waiting for this moment of triumph.
He wanted to prove to all the mermaids in the city that he, Mu Nancheng, was the most reliable leader.
However, the mermaids' reaction did not unfold as he had anticipated.
"Chief, I saw a white-haired, blue-tailed mermaid a few days ago. Why do you say there are no white-haired mermaids?"
"There have been rumors these past few days that it was you who imprisoned the sea god, which is why the volcano is enraged!"
"Yes, wasn't the trident always kept by the Sea God clan? How did it end up with you?"
"After Ji Xinyin's passing, the Sea God Clan gradually declined, almost wiped out by a mysterious organization. Is this related to you?!"
The mermaids below, listening to the sermon, raised their questions louder and louder, making Mu Nancheng's temples throb.
He couldn't understand why these ignorant people were so stubborn and insisted on going against him when he was trying to save them!
Two days ago, Si Jin and Mu Linyuan escaped from prison.
Not only that, they also took away that ungrateful old sea lion.
Mu Nancheng was already in a bad mood, and this question instantly triggered his violent emotions.
He roared, "Gentlemen, what's the point of asking these questions? Isn't the most urgent task to quell the volcano?!"
"You all wait here patiently. I'm sure I can calm the volcano down in less than half an hour!"
As he spoke, he used his spiritual power to summon a fake trident.
Swaying its tail, it slowly rose and arrived at the edge of the volcano.
Those incomprehensible idiots, once he quells the volcano with his trident, he'll make them kneel down and apologize to him!
Mu Nancheng was immersed in his own beautiful fantasy, unaware that less than ten meters behind him, Si Jin had concealed herself and Mu Linyuan's figures, each with a lollipop in their mouth, floating comfortably, waiting to see the joke.
Mu Linyuan thought Si Jin was really bold and crazy.
In the entire ocean, I doubt there's another mermaid besides him who would dare to do this!
To overthrow a tyrant, they staked the entire city of Atlantis!
But the fact that he dared to gamble so calmly proves that his son has the ability.
Mu Linyuan firmly believed that his little fish was the best in the entire ocean... no, in the whole world!
… …
On the other side, in front of the volcano, Mu Nancheng confidently wielded his trident, but alas, he couldn't use any spiritual power at all.
The divine weapon, which was usually full of power, suddenly seemed to have lost its luster and become extremely ordinary.
Mu Nancheng, like a clown, lost all face in front of the mermaids of the city with all sorts of bizarre spellcasting gestures!
After three failed attempts to quell the volcano, Mu Nancheng's unwavering confidence finally began to waver slightly.
He lowered his eyes, swallowed hard, and tried to suppress the panic in his heart.
But the hand holding the trident was still trembling slightly.
This was the first time in all the years he had owned the trident that he had doubted the weapon's authenticity.
