Chapter 242 Listen to the whispers of the tides, they sing—
Meanwhile, Tang San, who was standing some distance away, kept his eyes fixed on Bai E, his brows furrowed, and his expression extremely solemn.
He subtly concealed his aura, instantly becoming extremely alert and not daring to relax even slightly.
For a long time before, he had listed Little Grey Hair, Aglaia, and others as key targets for defense.
As for Bai E, he never paid much attention to him from beginning to end, and his eyes even showed undisguised contempt.
In Tang San's mind, Bai E was nothing more than a failed savior from the old era of Ongfaros.
Despite being hailed as a savior, he failed to save his own world and ultimately had to rely on extraterrestrials to clean up the mess.
Such incompetent behavior was no different from being a piece of trash in the eyes of the proud and arrogant Tang San.
But now that he knows Bai E's true strength, he has to be on high alert and is filled with apprehension.
No one could have imagined that this seemingly ordinary young man could suppress the terrifying black tide all by himself.
Those who have seen the Sky Curtain storyline are all well aware of the destructive power of the Black Tide, and they turn pale at the mere mention of it.
Let alone a single powerful being, even if all the Titans of Onpharos united, they would be no match for him.
The golden descendants of Onphalus could only barely survive by sacrificing themselves generation after generation.
They hunted down Titans corrupted by the Black Tide, seizing the spark in order to complete the re-creation and escape the catastrophe.
To put it bluntly, they were only trying to avoid the Black Tide from beginning to end; they simply didn't have the ability to defeat it head-on.
Bai E alone was able to suppress the entire Black Tide, demonstrating his formidable strength.
Tang San never expected that this seemingly easy-going and harmless young man would possess such terrifying power.
He secretly rejoiced, a subtle smile curving his lips, all thanks to the existence of the sky barrier.
It was the Heavenly Curtain that revealed the strength of the extraterrestrial beings to him without reservation, allowing him to uncover their hidden trump cards.
As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." This is a principle he has always believed in.
Having experienced many changes, Tang San has become more cautious and no longer has the recklessness and impulsiveness of the past.
Since the Sky Curtain reveals all secrets in real time, he has enough time to thoroughly understand the abilities and backgrounds of all those from beyond the heavens.
All the schemes and plots brewing in his mind would be launched only after he had fully understood the people from beyond the heavens.
He absolutely did not want someone with extraordinary strength or bizarre abilities to suddenly appear in future battles and happen to be his counter.
If such a change were to occur, even if he were to lose completely, he would have nowhere to cry and would be at the mercy of others.
The ordinary people on Douluo Continent were all stunned by the strength Bai E displayed, and they discussed it among themselves.
Many people instantly had the idea of turning to Bai E as a ally.
Having lived on this continent for many years, they know all too well that this world is a cruel place where the strong prey on the weak, without exception.
Through the celestial canopy, they witnessed firsthand the terror and endless dangers of the outer world.
The arrival of Onfaros's people on Douluo Continent signifies that this small continent has now completely connected with the outer world.
Naturally, they would also be targeted by those ferocious monsters from beyond the heavens, and could face annihilation at any time.
Everyone knew that although Aglaia was gentle and willing to protect them, her strength was far from sufficient.
If faced with an enemy far more powerful than expected, Aglaia might sacrifice herself to protect them at all costs.
But once Aglaia is sacrificed, they will lose their protection and will still be doomed to die, with no way out.
But Bai E is completely different. He can suppress the Black Tide on his own, and his strength must be top-notch in the universe.
Only by relying on such truly powerful individuals can they obtain comprehensive protection and live a peaceful and stable life.
Of course, many people are filled with greed, hoping that all the Golden Descendants can stay in Douluo Continent forever.
I hope these powerful beings will forever protect this continent, and I also hope that Little Gray Hair, Star Core Hunter, and others will stay behind as well.
If we could gain the protection of all the powerful beings beyond the heavens, the Douluo Continent would become an indestructible fortress.
A steel fortress covered in spikes, with maximum defenses, which no one dares to easily invade.
At that time, no matter if they are extraterrestrial monsters or other powerful enemies, anyone who dares to act recklessly in Douluo Continent will only face death and destruction.
Above the sky, the small and clever sea monster's face instantly lit up with a look of great surprise.
Her ears twitched slightly, as if she had caught a sound, a clear, melodious voice that she shouted excitedly.
"Listen! I hear Hailequla's song! She's calling us!"
Another beautiful siren, with delicate features and a gentle temperament, turned her head to look at the distant sea churning with faint light.
Looking at the rainbow road stretching forward, her eyes were full of longing and hope, and she spoke with a firm tone.
"Let's go. Her singing is equivalent to the Queen's decree and must not be disobeyed."
Seeing this, Little Gray Hair also stepped lightly onto the rainbow path, his steps slow and deliberate, closely following the two sirens.
She was filled with curiosity, wanting to see where these two sea monsters were going and what they were going to do.
Along the way, she slowed her pace and could clearly hear the two sirens beside her talking excitedly.
The clever siren gazed ahead, her voice filled with reverence and gratitude, and slowly began to speak.
"The Queen devoted all her efforts to preventing the Kuroshio Current from threatening the ocean and to protecting her people from danger."
Immediately afterwards, the familiar white flowing characters slowly reappeared before Little Gray's eyes, clear and eye-catching.
[First Song]
I am Hailequla.
The nectar God brewed from his womb
The beautiful siren followed closely behind, her tone filled with pride, and continued speaking.
"Born from the Queen's Cup, she received the deepest blessing and inherited supreme divine power..."
From the conversation between the two sea monsters, it is not difficult to tell that this person named Hailequra is of extraordinary status.
She possesses supreme power to rule her race, enough to unite the scattered sea monsters.
Little Grey continued steadily along the shimmering rainbow bridge until it finally reached the end.
At first glance, she saw the figure of a girl etched deep in her heart, a figure she knew all too well.
The girl's figure was graceful and light, her movements as agile as a deep-sea fish, and her legs were clad in black stockings that fit her body perfectly.
She stood quietly in the rainbow light, without saying a word, surrounded by a faint aura of sorrow.
Two lines of large white characters slowly appeared beside her, the handwriting conveying endless vulnerability and pleading.
Sisters... help Mother...
Heather looked up at the two sirens swimming towards her, following her song, her expression excited, her tone urgent and joyful.
"My sisters! You've finally come!"
The clever siren nodded solemnly to Heather, her expression full of respect.
The beautiful siren beside her scratched her head somewhat shyly and replied in a soft, sweet voice:
"Of course, Helequla, we were drawn here by your beautiful music."
The little gray-haired boy stood still, looking at the girl in front of him, his mind churning with emotions.
She and Haisein hadn't known each other for very long, and their time together was even shorter.
However, Haesey's appearance and temperament left a very deep impression on her, one that she could never forget.
Inside Onphalus, a long millennium has passed, and everything has changed.
But in Little Gray Fur's perception, less than a day had passed, as if it were yesterday.
She still remembered Hazel's appearance vividly and clearly, and would never mistake her for someone else.
However, she was filled with doubts, her brows furrowed, not understanding why these sea monsters all called her Hailequla.
Not only was Little Gray Hair filled with doubt, but everyone on Douluo Continent also discovered this pattern.
Almost every one of the heroes and powerful figures in Onphalus has two names.
For example, Bai'er, besides this name, also had a long original name, Kaeslana.
The cat's name, Sephir, also has a formal real name, Sephiria.
And then there's Teacher Xia, whose full name is so long and complicated that very few people can remember it completely.
