Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Capítulo 2869: Chapter 1571: The Sequence of Events

“Please follow me this way!”

Looking at Leo Ray’s calm face, the merfolk princess’s pale features were filled with excitement as she continued to lead the way ahead. The other merfolk ministers and generals also followed along, each looking extremely urgent.

“Your Highness, the merfolk princess, I still have one thing unclear.”

Leo Ray rushed down the rustic castle corridor adorned with shells and corals, asking, “What about the situation on the beach outside the city?”

After Leo Ray spoke, Lila, Hollis, and the others accompanying him also cast curious glances.

It must be said, the chanting scene they had just witnessed was indeed impressive, but from the words of the merfolk princess earlier, it could be inferred that they were likely praying to the deity she mentioned.

“We are trying to calm the deity’s anger. It must be because that deity is angry that my father is trapped in the temple.”

The merfolk princess bit her red lips, nodding toward Leo Ray, “Unfortunately, even though we tried our best this time, it had no effect. The deity seemed not to hear us.”

“Are you saying that this strange chant was effective before?”

As a Forest Language Singer, Moli frowned slightly and asked instinctively.

You should know, although this girl usually seems careless and clumsy, she is actually a qualified Forest Elf Priest.

As Teresa once said, priests back then were the closest to the deities and naturally knew how to communicate with them.

Yet, the bizarre scene our group just witnessed is unlike any ritual Moli knows.

“That’s right, these are the prayers personally taught to us by the deity.”

The merfolk princess nodded heavily, responding, “In the past, every time we chanted, the deity was extremely happy and would even guide us to find some heavenly treasures around. Precisely because of the deity’s guidance, we did not suffer famine under the suppression of the Broken Wing King.”

“But you should know, since the Blank Era, the deities have distanced themselves from this land and no longer favor this world. Where do you think your so-called deity comes from?”

Moli’s face, rarely showing seriousness, was extremely straightforward, “Your so-called deity is probably an impostor god, right?”

Once Moli said this, not only the merfolk princess, but even the surrounding merfolk ministers lowered their heads, each showing uncertain and even regretful expressions.

This point, in fact, drew similar suspicions from many merfolk at the very beginning.

However, the entity claiming to be a deity had never shown any malice and instead guided the merfolk to find many heavenly treasures and even ancient relics. Coupled with the old merfolk king’s strong belief in them, it eventually led to this situation.

The only strange thing about them was the prayers they personally taught.

But every time, they only asked for these chants in return and never made any other demands, so over time, even the skeptical merfolk gradually let down their guard.

It wasn’t until last night that the old merfolk king followed the usual practice and went to the temple alone to listen to the Divine Revelation and never returned. Only when countless strange white eyes suddenly appeared did it alert everyone.

The result was catastrophic as the Imperial Guards and ministers who rushed in to save the king were all devoured by those strange white eyes that ignored all attacks, throwing the merfolk kingdom into chaos, leading to the current crisis.

Ignoring the fact that the old king’s sudden disappearance will surely arouse the Broken Wing King’s ambitions, people do not dare to imagine whether those rapidly reproducing strange white eyes will continue to spread and ultimately engulf the entire merfolk Royal Capital.

Thus, when Moli mentioned this, it was not surprising that the merfolk showed such expressions.

If there had been a forceful attempt to dissuade the old king from the start, perhaps events would not have escalated to the dire situation today.

Now it appears that the entity claiming to be a deity is evidently different from the deities who favored the Ten Thousand Clans during the Silver Moon Era, especially since many elite merfolk warriors have perished at the hands of those strange white eyes.

Noticing the extremely complex expressions on the faces of the merfolk, a hint of contemplation appeared in Leo Ray’s gaze.

Moli did have a point, combined with his own earlier deductions, it became evident that the entity is truly an unknown existence, certainly not one of the deities who once favored the Ten Thousand Clans. If they are truly a deity, they are likely an Evil God.

However, it is worth noting that the prayers taught personally by the entity, if those are what the entity demands in return, might contain some power that could please the entity or even restore their strength.

“Princess, immediately have the merfolk outside cease their actions; this will only make the entity stronger and increase the difficulty of rescuing your father king.”

Leo Ray did not hesitate and immediately spoke to the other party, “That mysterious being is not the deity you imagine.”

“Your Majesty of the Humans, do you mean…?!

The merfolk princess quickly realized, and hastily commanded a few nearby merfolk ministers, “Quickly, have the citizens and generals stop. We are just making matters worse!”

“But if we upset the deity…”
