"What! Kidnapped midway?! Attacked by Demon Beasts?!"
An angry roar erupted in the tranquil Deep Sea Palace.
Countless fish scattered in terror.
The Blue Shark on the throne had a grim expression. He rested his chin on his hand, closed his eyes for a moment, and waved away the trembling Mermaids.
'Those Beastmen on land are so unreliable. It seems I'll have to go myself after all.'
Xi swam out of the palace. Just before leaving the deep sea, he happened to pass the legendary abyss where the souls of countless Merfolk were said to lie.
According to the stories his Shark Mother told him when he was young, this abyss had been carved out by the legendary Beast God himself using his Creation Divine Power. It was the burial ground he had designated for fallen Beastmen, a place where the restless souls of all the world's Beastmen races could gather.
After An Jin passed away, he had returned to the deep sea. He often patrolled these waters, trying to find her soul.
