The cub burrowed and played inside the skeleton for a long time before finally stopping, exhausted. He slowly landed in the embrace of a mermaid skeleton, lay down to rest, and began to think about what his father had told him to light up...?
The little fish got anxious and circled the mermaid skeleton several times, but couldn't find anything to light up.
Until the little mermaid stood blankly on the stone pillar next to the mermaid skeleton, the stone pillar sensed the weight of the fish fry's spirit and suddenly lit up with a light.
The light enveloped the fish fry.
He watched as a ball of icy blue flame shot out from his chest, illuminating the stone pillars in front of the ten mermaid skeletons, some sitting and some standing.
Then the tiny spirit fire circled several times before returning to Yu Miaomiao's heart.
The little fish was completely dumbfounded by the scene.
Fortunately, a large hand reached out, scooped up the fish fry, and pulled them back into its embrace.
"Silly baby."
Yu Miaomiao looked up at the person hugging him from behind, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only see the other person's sharp jawline until the other person also lowered his head and stared at him with dark eyes.
It's Dad...!
The little fish made a joyful sound and immediately jumped up from Osiris's arms, circling around him many times. Its short tail was wagging wildly, just like a puppy wagging its short tail when it sees its parent.
Because the cub's tail is so short, its whole round body looks like it's wiggling along with it, making it incredibly cute.
Because the little fish was too enthusiastic, Osiris couldn't catch the little guy right away. He could only watch as the little fish circled around him until it was finally caught by Osiris's tail and pulled into his arms.
"call--"
The little guy was tired, so he lay on his father's tail, which was about two meters long, thick and sharp, a weapon that could be called a deadly weapon for an adult mermaid, like a little pearl being carefully held by his father.
The baby lay there resting for quite a while, not even noticing that his father's legs had turned into a tail. Until suddenly he felt the thing beneath him move, as if it were being coiled up…
cub: ?
The little guy just stared blankly as he and his father got closer and closer...
Finally, the slow-witted little guy looked down at his own tail.
Why does Daddy have a tail?!
In other words, Osiris finally regained his true form.
The human form he had taken before was too primitive. The real Osiris possessed the highest bloodline of mermaids, with all the characteristics of a mermaid, and was a wild and brutal beast.
Yu Miaomiao stared blankly at her father's long black hair spreading out underwater, then at his face, which seemed even more eerie and aggressive, with his beastly eyes and ear fins particularly striking. His upper body was also naked, and the explosive power contained in every muscle and bone was his best adornment.
The father's sharp nails and long, dark tail were terrifying to behold, but now he was holding the cub with incredible gentleness, as if he were holding the most delicate petal in the world.
The little fish wasn't afraid; on the contrary, it felt very friendly towards Osiris.
Perhaps he had seen this type of father before, or perhaps he knew that no matter how much world-destroying power his father possessed, it was all for protecting him.
Dad will never hurt him.
The cub snuggled against its father's large pectoral muscles, feeling great, and even a little confused about its father's gender.
Because my child vaguely remembers that when they were in kindergarten, the teacher gave them a sex education class, and it mentioned...
So, is Dad actually Mom?
The cubs were even more confused.
But Dad never said he was calling it wrong or told him to correct it...
Osiris was getting used to seeing the little fish clinging to his chest, lost in thought.
It doesn't matter if the child is a little slow, since his spirit hasn't dissipated yet and can accompany the cub for hundreds of years, enough time for him to grow...
Even though he has long since died, he was still the first king of the merfolk...
Even though time has passed and no one knows his story, Atlantis will not forget him, and the ocean will not forget him.
His powerful spirit never dissipated; he watched over the ever-changing ocean from Valhalla.
So when the merfolk were unable to welcome a new king for a long time, he listened to the guidance of the sea god, descended into a human body with his spirit, and went alone to the human world to find the cub.
And now that they've found him, this must be his child, and he must be the child's father.
“If it’s just a matter of raising a child, then we can also be the fathers of the fish fry.”
A beautiful voice rang out, and Osiris and the cub raised their heads at the same time. They saw that among the skeletons of the ten mermaid kings, in addition to Osiris being summoned, three other kings had also awakened.
The mermaid kings of all ages, some beautiful, some cold and stern, looked at them:
“The fish fry also awakened us with their spirits, so we can also become fathers who teach and raise the fish fry.”
The next second, Osiris's face darkened, and he pulled the fish fry completely into his arms, so that no one could see him.
He glanced warily at the mermaid kings around him, his tone disdainful:
“A dead soul should have long since vanished.”
The leader, whose voice was so captivating that even mermaids couldn't resist, the ninth king, said:
"Aren't you a dead soul...? The first king of the Merfolk possessed powerful spiritual energy, as if bestowed by the gods. His soul is immortal and indestructible to this day, and he has helped the Merfolk overcome countless calamities... You are the guardian deity of the Merfolk, and your reputation is well-deserved."
"But in reality, we did not truly perish at the moment of death. It is the power of the cub that has awakened us, and the cub is the new king awaiting coronation. We all have a responsibility to raise him."
"We will revive the merfolk in this generation, and let the name of Atlantis resound throughout the Star Ring."
Osiris remained silent for a while, then held the bewildered little fish in his arms tightly.
Perhaps that's what Osiris thought at first too.
He scrutinized his new successor with a critical eye.
But after spending a lot of time with him, Osiris only felt that the cub was just a cub.
He's a silly little cub looking for his dad, a gluttonous cat who loves to eat human food, a baby who only knows how to act coquettishly and act cute when he does something wrong, and who loves to sleep snuggled up to a piece of his skin.
It belongs to his cub.
Osiris now only hopes that the cubs will grow up healthy.
Perhaps seeing one's children grow up and take on responsibilities brings pride, but Osiris knew better than anyone that becoming king meant embarking on a blood-soaked, bone-strewn path.
He had tried it himself and found it unremarkable, but he couldn't accept his own child suffering the hardships and injuries he had endured.
If these things are placed on a cub, it will cause it to feel a burning pain.
So what if his pampered child doesn't have an iron fist? He still has him, doesn't he?
So it's okay if he doesn't grow up, since Osiris has the ability to protect him forever.
