2407 Mermaid’s Justification!
After the six mermaids expressed their intentions and views at the meeting, they received immediate support.
Thus, Brilliant Gold, who was always resistant to the opinions of others, could not say anything at such a time. However, her expression was extremely sour.
Light Green Umber had always been weaker than her. If Light Green Umber had been capable of rising up as her equal, the older Light Green Umber would not have reached pinnacle emperor-class later than she did.
Brilliant Gold could tell that Light Green Umber had always been brimming with ambition. This was not a bad quality. But if the ambition only pushed her toward gaining authority for the mermaid species, the consequences would only be negative!
Light Green Umber had previously ended up seriously injured to help her.
Brilliant Gold could not turn down Light Green Umber but could add to what Blue Umber said.
“Then, let’s attack Grace Sacred Hall first! Let’s talk about everything else once we’ve conquered Grace Sacred Hall.”
After Blue Umber acquiesced, Blue Umber and Light Green Umber looked at each other and relaxed.
However, the other emperor-class mermaids might not also agree just because Brilliant Gold had done so.
A mermaid with a snow-white tail snapped gruffly, “Brilliant Gold, I was seriously injured the last time I tried to help you. You are not the one who gets to decide if we help Light Green Umber!”
The white-tailed mermaid turned and said to Light Green Umber, “I’m sorry Light Green Umber. I just found a partner, and I want to help him to evolve his bloodline. So, I won’t be able to help you enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye!
If not for the rule that emperor-class mermaids could not become partners with each other, Brilliant Gold and Dazzling Silver would already have gotten together.
If Brilliant Gold was against her, it was unlikely that she would receive Dazzling Silver’s vote.
However, Dazzling Silver had to express her opinion in this stalemate. It was likely that her opinion would be the decisive move.
Regardless, Light Green Umber had already made her decision. Regardless of how the other five mermaid emperors felt, she was set on going into the Deep Chasm Sea Eye!
Light Green Umber believed that from all aspects, heading to Deep Chasm Sea Eye was more important than attacking Grace Sacred Hall. Not only did she want to awaken the thearch-class bloodline and become the shining beacon of the mermaid species, but she also wanted to be the true dictator in Mermaid Forbidden Sea, the one who possessed absolute power.
This way, she would not encounter any opposition or be pressured by the other emperor-class mermaids when she was trying to make a decision.
She did not like the current structure of working toward a decision through discussions and how a single voice of disagreement could affect the entire situation.
When Dazzling Silver noticed the other five mermaids casting their gazes upon her, she turned to look at Brilliant Gold. Seeing Brilliant Gold subtly shaking her head, Dazzling Silver fell silent for a moment.
She had a strong inclination to support Light Green Umber in her quest to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, knowing that her success would bring immense glory to all mermaids. Despite their previous failures, the hope of achieving their goal made every attempt worthwhile.
Brilliant Gold shouldn’t let herself be discouraged by a single setback. Instead, she should return stronger and braver after recovering from her injuries and learning from the experience. While the Deep Chasm Sea Eye was undoubtedly dangerous, with caution, they could avoid death and only face serious injuries.
However, even though Dazzling Silver felt this way, she didn’t want to go against Brilliant Gold. Doing so would result in Brilliant Gold refusing to speak to her for at least the next 2000 years.
Having grown up together and developed unwavering loyalty since their days as elite mermaids, Dazzling Silver remained devoted to Brilliant Gold even now, as they had ascended to the status of emperor-class mermaids. Nevertheless, her frustration persisted.
“I don’t want to go to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye again, either. My bloodline reached pinnacle emperor-class long ago. But after my previous experience at the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, I decided not to bother all of you again. So Light Green Umber, continue accumulating your power! The Deep Chasm Sea Eye might not be the only way to enable you to break through your emperor-class bloodline.”
