Thousands of Mermaids and Nagas were watching closely as Lucien and Nea fought Tyrion in the sky.
Only people above the Sky Realm could see the details, which is the case of Eve, Saria, and the other girls.
At first, everyone was very concerned about Lucien's safety, but then Nea showed up, and they actually managed to hurt Tyrion, which is pretty impressive.
But then, along with a sharp scream from the Siren, an ominous miasma appeared out of nowhere, covering the group in the sky.
"Luci!?!?" Watching Lucien disappear into the miasma, Eve immediately regrets not following him.
"What the heck??" Claire also gets worried about her brother.
"..." Saria doesn't make any sound, but fear and tension are visible in her watery eyes.
Kamala is also concerned, but instead of imagining something bad, she just mentally asks Lucien if he's okay.
And the answer comes quickly as he emerges from the miasma covered in golden light, holding his naginata in one hand and using the other arm to hug Nea.
The great Mermaid Queen remains as majestic and graceful as ever, but there is a different sparkle in her eyes and a healthy flush on her cheeks.
The frustration of not being able to hurt Tyrion further seems to be softened by Lucien's touch.
She is enjoying that so much, of course.
But who else is worthy of the Mermaid King's affection if not the Mermaid Queen?
But before Nea can enjoy Lucien's embrace any longer, the miasma behind them acts as if it has come to life and transforms into a replica of Tyrion's head.

Tyrion's greed knows no bounds, and he already acted as if the Mermaids and the whole Blue Star belonged to him, but Lucien's presence put all his plans at risk.
Now, more blinded by rage than ever, he charges toward Lucien and Nea with the intent of killing them both.
"DAMN!!" Lucien prepares to open the purple world portal to get him and Nea to safety.
But then he feels powerful hot energy on his skin and immediately recognizes that power.
*WHUUUUSH*
A ray of crimson light appears in the sky and transforms into a giant firebird that flies toward the large head of dark magic.
Maya's current power level is below Nea's, and far below Tyrion's, but in the sky, her flames are very effective, especially against dark magic.
A Phoenix's flames are the purest of all, and they push back the dark clouds, opening the way for sunlight to reach Maya, making her flames even more powerful, enough for her to destroy the miasma of dark magic.
*SCREEEEEEH!!!*
The giant firebird lets out a shrill screech as it destroys all the miasma around Tyrion, causing him to retreat with Tanu to take cover from those powerful flames.
Lucien and Nea's eyes have the same sparkles as they stare at those beautiful flames.
As Tyrion retreats, the firebird flies around Lucien and Nea in the sky before transforming into Maya.
"Sorry for the delay." She smiles gently at them.

Those are birds made by the three blue-haired ladies, Angela, Marie, and Lena; and along with them are Lucien's most powerful wives, while the other girls are on the Sea Devil, which is arriving by sea.
Envy quickly materializes her body in front of Lucien and casts a jealous look at Nea, while Amelia uses her teleport skill to get there shortly after.
"Lucien!!!" They both hug him tightly, and Nea uses the moment to get out of his arms before she doesn't have any will to do that anymore.
Contrary to all expectations, Sloth arrives next, along with Sophia, who uses her speedy magic pillow to get to Lucien's side before the other girls.
Just being near his lover, Lucien can already feel his demonic energy rapidly regenerating, and that speed only increases as the other girls arrive.
"I'm so glad you're here..." He smiles lovingly at them. "And I know everyone deserves a proper greeting for your hard work, but we don't have time for it now."
The girls quickly gather around Lucien, and then Mira, Daisy, and Helena stand in front of him.
"We are seeing the army." Helena comments.
"Tyrion really brought them all..." Mira has never been more tense seeing that so many Naga are about to die because of Tyrion's greed.
"What is your plan?" Daisy quickly asks Lucien; she knows he always has a plan.
He wastes no time before explaining. "I have to recover my demonic energy and help Pride wake up so we can get our army recovered as well."
Lust materializes her body and quickly speaks. "Now that everyone is here, we have to merge our seven auras and make the biggest sinful aura ever; only then can we strengthen our troops as much as possible."
"Mm!" Lucien's sisters and the Sins quickly agree.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"So we'll buy you time." Nea speaks.
"Yeah, leave it to us!" Maya agrees.
All the other girls are also very determined and more powerful than ever. After receiving so much of Lucien's energy and having enough time to absorb that power, most of them awakened Soul Weapons, becoming even more powerful.
Lucien doesn't like the idea of hiding behind his beloved wives while they fight at the front, but he needs to accept their help at that moment to win the war.
Also, just as they entrust their lives to him, he must entrust his to them. And with their current strength united, they are the real power there.
"I will be quick." He speaks to the girls. "Please don't take unnecessary risks..."
"It's fine..." Sophia and Amelia pull Lucien towards Eve, Donna, Claire, and Naomi while the other girls stay at the front. "Yeah, you have no idea how powerful everyone is right now."
Despite Sophia and Amelia's words, Lucien can sense how powerful his wives are better than anyone else.
Each of them already has an aura superior to most Immortal Realm people, even though they are in the Earth and Sky Realm yet.
But of course, those who are already in the Immortal Realm, like Mira, Daisy, Helena, and Angela, are even more powerful, on a very similar level to Nea.
Lucien hadn't summoned his wives with lower power levels from the Purple World yet because he wanted that to be his last trump card, and now seems like the ideal time for them to show up.
So he opens the portal and lets those girls join the others at the Sea Devil.
Even Tyrion can sense those powerful auras from a distance, and even though he is concerned, he also brought a lot of powerful people to the battle.
And, of course, he remains confident that hundreds of thousands of Sky Realm and tens of thousands of Immortal Realm Nagas can defeat several impressive ladies.
But what about the thousands of Mermaids that Lucien and the Sins are about to make even more powerful?
