After saying that, the tentacle that was gripping Hera tightened its grip even more.
The collarbone and ribs were cracking as they were being constricted, clearly indicating they were broken.
"Look, if it were the old you, this kind of injury would have killed you several times over."
“But you are not only completely unharmed now, your injuries will even heal the moment I let go.”
"This extraordinary body and abilities are all gifts from me, so of course you should be grateful."
A smaller tentacle extended from the first tentacle, gently stroking Hera's face, which was filled with anger and hatred.
"I won't kill you. You can use my power to do whatever you want."
"Whether it's helping humans join the Night Stars, becoming an enemy of humanity, or changing one's appearance to live a peaceful and stable life as an ordinary person, there's nothing wrong with that."
"In the future, you will find more friends who are worth your sincere devotion. Your feelings for them may even surpass those for that boy named Zhao Rui, or even for your mother."
"It was all worth it, you should..."
*Pfft*
Its pale lips bit down on the disgusting tentacle in front of it, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.
"Pah!" Hera spat out the blood and flesh in her mouth, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the other person.
"You don't understand anything at all!"
"Family members are irreplaceable, and I don't want this power at all! I just want everything I had before!"
"Even if I were to die, I wouldn't be sad at all if I could die surrounded by my mother and friends!"
"I'm not like you, a monster who only wants to live and has no feelings!"
"I don't understand...?" The tentacles tightened their grip again, as if trying to crush every bone in Hera's body. "Then what do you understand?"
"No matter what I do, you humans want to kill me. No matter what changes I make, I can't change the labels you've put on me."
"You gave me emotions, and then you used those emotions to bind me."
"I don't understand what I should do. Aren't your so-called emotions just something you have for the sake of better survival?"
"I want to see what the difference is between me and a real person."
"That's why I gave you this opportunity. What would happen if a real human possessed my power?"
Hera's chest heaved, a stark contrast to the emotionless monster before her.
"No, no—!"
Hera suddenly screamed as if she had gone mad, her body, with its bones crushed, struggling wildly.
Just then, the enormous figure stirring the seawater flashed and appeared in front of Hera.
As the sound of the flowing seawater passed by, the sea dragon's hard fist shattered the tentacles wrapped around Hera.
It unleashed countless punches at the fragments of the tentacles with lightning speed, until every single cell was pulverized.
Before he could even blink, he swiftly turned around, and the roaring, powerful seawater blasted Hera's head into dust.
The whole process was so fast that it took less than half a second before Hera lost her head and lay flat on her back.
The surrounding spirit sharks and other sea shark dragons were all stunned.
Ling Sha's pupils dilated in disbelief as he looked at Hai Long.
"Dragon King... what are you doing!"
Hailong didn't answer her. He just stared at the motionless corpse, panting heavily, his hands even trembling slightly.
"Why did you kill her!" Spirit Shark came to Sea Dragon's side, looking up at the tall figure and questioning him.
Hailong let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and spoke in a deep voice.
“I noticed her powerful strength from the very beginning, a strength that even I couldn’t overcome.”
"However, it seems that there is another soul inside her. As long as her life is not in danger, it will occupy most of her body time, and it is harmless."
"My original plan was to keep her calm first, and then send her away from the ocean."
"No matter what kind of monster she is, once she leaves the ocean, she is no longer relevant to us."
"But when faced with something like this... I have no choice but to kill..."
“But…” Ling Sha clenched his fists, his body trembling uncontrollably.
“Spirit Shark, although I don’t know what your relationship is, you must know what we guardians should do.”
He reached out his huge hand and gently rubbed the spirit shark's head, then turned his gaze to Hera.
His pupils contracted instantly.
The blown-out head was visibly regenerating, and it was already mostly healed.
Hailong gritted his teeth and raised his fists again.
If blowing someone's head off isn't enough to kill them, then crush every single cell in their body!
Just as the fist was about to land, the head, which had been slowly recovering, suddenly returned to normal.
Her peach-colored eyes suddenly opened.
At the same time, a powerful pressure swept over all the fish present.
"If you dare to move again, I'll kill you all!"
The voice was devoid of any emotion, yet the wisps of killing intent emanating from it seemed to tell them that this was not an exaggeration.
Hailong froze in shock, his body still in the position of throwing a punch, his huge shark fins behind him trembling uncontrollably.
Standing next to him, Ling Sha couldn't help but kneel down.
Even Kaisha and Mingsha, who were standing at a distance, stumbled and knelt down.
"I've been watching you. You'd better not try anything funny."
After saying this, Hera closed her eyes again, and the oppressive aura around her immediately disappeared, as if it had never happened.
If he hadn't seen the others still kneeling, Hailong would have thought it was just his imagination.
Everyone stood there, stunned, trying to process what had just happened.
It is unknown how much time passed before Hailong finally made a move.
He mustered his courage, walked to Hera's side, and gently lifted her up in his arms.
One second, two seconds...
Under his anxious gaze, Hera lay quietly in his arms, just like an ordinary girl in a coma.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"So what should we do now?"
Spirit Shark stood up and looked at Sea Dragon, the shark fins behind him still trembling slightly.
Hailong pondered for a moment, then took a huge stride.
“Go back immediately and find those humans who escaped. If they have left the ocean world, then so be it.”
If they haven't left yet, kill them!
“As for her,” Hailong looked down at Hera, “I will personally keep an eye on her in the Valley of Ten Thousand Sharks.”
After saying that, he walked forward without even turning his head.
Ling Sha stood there, watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
Another burly figure came up behind him. White Foam Shark opened his lips, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
The spirit shark turned around, and the two fish looked at each other for a moment. In the end, neither of them said anything and they walked towards the exit of the Valley of Ten Thousand Sharks with their heads down.
