Chapter 659 Great Augury Formation
In another part of the Star Ocean, there was a temple crafted with beautiful white marble and imbued with glowing pearls, creating a breathtaking scene.
Within this palace, four people gathered in a mystical hall as they floated in front of a giant veil of glowing white membrane, and a silhouette could be seen behind it.
One of these four people belonged to the Whale Race, but his skin was completely crimson with black glowing runic lines around his neck, and he was adorned in white robes. He was the Crown Prince of the Mighty Whale Empire, Eliezer Kai Balaen.
"The Detection Formation has been completed in the Mighty Whale Empire," Eliezer said emotionlessly.
"Took you guys long enough!" A cold-voiced woman with an imposing figure with her lean, 9-meter frame that could slice effortlessly through the water spoke.
Alora belonged to another dominant race of the ocean races, like the whales, the Shark Race of Battle Shark Empire, a race as captivating as they were intimidating.
Furthermore, Alora wasn't just anyone; she was the first princess of the Battle Shark Empire, an empire that was filled with battle maniacs and bloodthirsty predators.
Her cool, blue skin shimmered faintly within the water, its rough texture whispering of hidden dermal denticles. Small slits on her neck flared rhythmically, gills extracting oxygen from the water.
Her face, both elegant and predatory, was dominated by large, black eyes. A faint purple membrane flickered over them occasionally, and a second eyelid granted her superior vision underwater.
A prominent ridge ran along her jaw, a silent promise of the rows of sharp teeth hidden within. Her expression was unreadable, her mouth a thin line beneath a sharp, streamlined nose positioned high.
Powerful arms webbed between four-fingered hands that could propel her with smooth, silent strokes. Her lower body wasn't human at all, but a powerful, horizontally flattened tail fin that could propel her with effortless grace. The Battle Shark Race were creatures of both mesmerizing beauty and raw power.
Eliezer's eyes went cold as he looked at Alora and retorted, "Do you have a problem with it?"
Alora's lips suddenly twisted into a bloodthirsty smile, revealing razor-sharp teeth. "What if I have?" she replied with full provocation.
Everyone within the ocean races knows about the relationship between the Mighty Whale Empire and Battle Shark Empire; they were both the dominating powers in the northern and western stars of the ocean.
The Siren Hymn Temple was not an empire, and they didn't have any subordinate races under them as all their people belonged to the Siren Race. But despite their small numbers, the three empires treated them extremely carefully because the Siren Hymn Temple was under the protection of the Ocean Oracle!
However, only these top figures of the empires knew about the Ocean Oracle, while for others, it was just a myth. Yet the Siren Race could hold their status equal to the three empires because they were deadly on their own because of their illusionary magic and deadly occultic abilities.
Moreover, the Ocean Oracle can only appear among the Mermaid Siren Race. The Ocean Oracle was simply too important to all the ocean races because, without one, they would not be able to keep the land dwellers outside and control the ocean. It was an old prophecy that every ocean race believed in.
Just as Nataly spoke, everyone shut down while Alora and Eliezer glared at each other.
At this moment, another melodious voice filled with arcane wisdom rang from behind the glowing white membrane: "There's no need to restrain yourselves for my sake, everyone. Thank you for coping with this old woman's requests."
Ulises and others bowed slightly as their expression turned solemn, and they no longer dared to utter anything.
The voice continued, "As you all are aware, some land dwellers are infiltrating the deep ocean in search of me so they can find the location of the Legendary Key!
"But I chose to side with my own kin and alert the three empires of the deep ocean, and you all didn't let me down. Now that the Great Augury Formation has been completed, I can finally locate the Legendary Key for our ocean races!
"However, I hope that even after we find the location, we can all work together against the land dweller the same way you were all doing in this past decade to set up this formation." Her voice was benign, like a saint, and filled with a strange, soothing charm.
"Don't worry your holiness, the Karapax Empire will follow your dictum!"
"The Might Whale Empire agreed with your beliefs!"
"The Battle Shark Empire will be your vanguard!"
All the representatives of the three empires stated solemnly, but they couldn't hide their greed hidden deep in their ambitious eyes when they thought about how they were going to get the Legendary Key.
The Ocean Oracle replied in a benign tone, "Then I can rest easy. I'll start the Great Augury Formation now. As long as the Legendary Key exists within the Unique Plains, it'll belong to our Ocean Races!"
