Time flew by, and although Maggie wasn't completely satisfied in the end, it would be impolite for her to continue playing around when it was time to carry out the plan.
A few hundred meters from the Tower of Symbols, Rosette suddenly stopped. Maggie and he exchanged a glance, immediately understanding each other.
He wasn't allowed to get close, so she had to walk the rest of the way alone.
Eyes are watching them from the shadows.
Before long, Maggie found an excuse to part ways with Rosette and walked alone toward the Tower of Symbols.
Fortunately, the Tower of Symbols is a very iconic landmark. Although Maggie was not familiar with the interior of the Mermaid Kingdom, she did not get lost. She was disguised as an ordinary mermaid, so she arrived at the outer side of the Tower of Symbols without any obstacles.
The Tower of Symbols has no stairs inside, unlike humans. Mermaids can swim up using their tails, so the entire interior appears completely hollow.
Maggie stood at the bottom, feeling a little depressed.
This was an unexpected turn of events.
She was a complete landlubber and couldn't swim, so in the end she could only sigh helplessly and choose to use magic as a power source to propel her to the top of the tower.
The moment Maggie stood atop the tower, the cries for help she had heard at night became even clearer. She looked up at the Sun Wheel and, whether it was an illusion or not, the wheel seemed inexplicably brighter than usual.
Maggie noticed something was wrong, but her task for the day was to help detect distances, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
It can't be said that she wasn't vigilant; it's partly because she was invincible in her dream that she wasn't so careful.
In reality, she would definitely choose to leave immediately to avoid encountering danger.
Just as Maggie sensed her heartbeat, the mermaid leaders were also affected by the changes in the Sun Wheel, which immediately triggered the mermaid guards to quickly surround the Tower of Symbols.
A large number of guards disguised as ordinary merfolk within the city also swam rapidly toward the symbolic tower.
The moment Rosette sensed something was wrong, she immediately tried to use magic to appear next to Maggie, but was blocked by the red-tailed mermaid Loraslin.
"I really didn't expect you to still be so persistent. It was definitely the right decision not to set off immediately to participate in the God War."
When Loraslin looked at Rosette, his eyes were filled with intense greed.
False gods can devour each other's divine cores, but each false god's divine core contains different obsessions. If they rashly devour a broken divine core, different degrees of side effects will occur.
They might even be influenced by the divine status of other gods, causing their minds to change drastically.
However, when the war of gods is about to begin, the divine title is still an extremely sought-after treasure. Now, as a weak false god, Rosette is like a piece of fat meat in the eyes of Loraslin, who tries every means to take a bite.
The mermaid leadership originally planned to wait until Rosette's heart had completely withered and shriveled before taking action against him, but...
If Rosette is restless and makes a move prematurely, then there's no need for them to continue maintaining the facade of peace.
The two pseudo-divine mermaids, both possessing divine status and vying for the position of sea god, clearly understood each other's thoughts. The atmosphere instantly froze, and a dangerous aura permeated the air. Their killing intent was like a taut string, ready to snap at the slightest external force.
"Then you are far too insecure about yourself."
Rosette broke the silence, but the sarcasm in her tone was unmistakable.
"A pathetic wretch who can't even make ends meet has the nerve to care about me?"
When Rolaslin heard Rosette's words, he laughed wildly. In his eyes, Rosette was just a lamb to the slaughter, only a matter of time before she died.
"If bringing that mermaid was your last trump card, then you have already failed."
His eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of pleasure in his expression, as he pointed to the top of the Tower of Symbols, where the sight made Rosette's pupils shrink.
The petite Maggie was surrounded by a group of mermaid guards, their weapons raised high. If they were to fall at the same time, Maggie would be riddled with holes.
Rosette clenched her fists tightly, but could only try her best to calm herself down.
All he had to do now was believe Maggie's words, believe that she... would never die, would never be hurt.
These were the words Maggie said to him before she left.
He closed his eyes briefly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were cold and indifferent, no longer wavering in the face of Loraslin's provocation.
Blue magical light gathered in his hands, and the surrounding water began to swirl and swirl in response to the false god's anger, gradually drawing in and forming a whirlpool, which was essentially an underwater tornado.
Loraslin's previously composed expression changed slightly, and his voice, which had been calm, finally betrayed his panic.
"Hey! Don't you want your heart anymore?! If you really fight me here, that mermaid woman will definitely die too. You'd better think it through!"
He thought he had Rosette under control, but he didn't expect that Rosette wouldn't even beg for mercy or negotiate, and would actually take action directly.
On the other hand, Maggie had already sensed it when the group of mermaid guards approached.
However, she remained calm and stayed in place until she was surrounded by mermaid guards, and a mermaid commander who had led these guards to surround and kill her was looking at her with cold and cruel eyes.
She was as if she were no different from an inanimate object.
Maggie looked into those eyes, but inexplicably began to drift off into her own thoughts. Although those eyes were indeed quite good, they were still a bit inferior to those of the Demon King Safa and the Archangel El.
She was genuinely afraid of those two, physically, not psychologically.
Psychologically, Maggie isn't afraid of anyone because... a group of anime characters, or even anime characters who have read their comics, really makes it hard for Maggie to feel any awe.
"Is that all there is? You're really underestimating me."
Seeing that almost all the mermaids had arrived, Maggie made a very humorous remark.
"?"
The mermaid guards around her thought Maggie would be scared and break down, but they didn't expect her to say such a thing. Suddenly, the whole place became unusually quiet, and many mermaids looked at Maggie with eyes that said "crazy".
The aura of a magician is unmistakable; he looks like an ordinary merman. How dare he say such a thing?
Is this female mermaid insane?
Maggie naturally received all sorts of looks from them, because the thoughts revealed in their eyes were all too easy to understand.
"I never imagined that Rosette was controlled by you guys and couldn't participate in the God War. Now I really have to doubt whether he's really smart, because you guys just look like a bunch of idiots."
Her tone was casual, yet tinged with disdain, instantly bringing tears to the eyes of many mermaids.
No one can accept being so blatantly looked down upon.
