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!

“Furthermore, don’t you think you should seek my and Red Beauty’s opinion? You shouldn’t force us into helping after making the decision yourselves! That is just basic manners and respect.”

The mermaid with the red tail named Red Beauty sighed to herself.

Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, Brilliant Gold, and the rest were set on declaring war and thus were at odds with her and White Brocade.

It would be difficult for them to come to an agreement when it came to such a disagreement. All of them were only trying to help the mermaid species, so they would not be willing to compromise on any front!

Red Beauty was the last to become an emperor-class mermaid.

She was very against going to war because she knew of the widespread injury and death that the war would lead to.

The situation wouldn’t be Mermaid Forbidden Sea defending themselves from an attack by Grace Sacred Hall, but rather Mermaid Forbidden Sea taking the initiative to conquer Grace Sacred Hall.

Red Beauty, who had the least speaking authority of all the emperor-class mermaids, now spoke resolutely. “White Brocade is right. I’m also against going to war against Grace Sacred Hall. If the two rulers are really still alive, will any of you be able to guarantee that you’ll be able to defeat them?

“Even if they are dead, the four royal attendants are still Samsara Realm sea beasts. You are less familiar with the four royal attendants’ source totems. You might not care about your own lives, but I’m sure you wouldn’t want the other mermaids to lose their lives too. After all, we still don’t have a mermaid thearch who has the overwhelming combat power required to take down Grace Sacred Hall’s four royal attendants while ensuring that the other king-class mermaids do not end up sacrificing their lives.”

Red Beauty’s words took aback Light Green Umber. She had expected resistance from Brilliant Gold, but she hadn’t anticipated White Brocade and Red Beauty becoming her strongest opponents.

White Brocade and Red Beauty had clearly expressed their disagreement. Even though Brilliant Gold desired to attack Grace Sacred Hall, she was unwilling to assist Light Green Umber in entering the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. It was highly likely that she would side with White Brocade and Red Beauty.

Facing opposition and obstacles in her pursuit to break through her bloodline, Light Green Umber felt disheartened. She glanced at Dazzling Silver, who had yet to speak much.

There was a very deep grudge between Dazzling Silver and Light Green Umber, and Dazzling Silver had always been on good terms with Brilliant Gold.

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.”
