Chapter 1080: Chapter 146 Sky Ladder Lifeladder Tree (7000)

Beep——

The clear alarm sound echoed throughout the Siren, and the lights in the banquet hall suddenly turned red, causing all the distinguished guests and officials present to become on alert.

In an instant, more than seventy bright Spirit Energy Shields lit up within the entire hall. The reason more did not light up was due to the natural Spirit Energy around being depleted; lower quality Spirit Energy Jewelry couldn’t harness the nearby natural Spirit Energy.

This is why the better quality a Spirit Energy Jewelry item is, the more its price increases geometrically—because in crucial moments, an event like this Spirit Energy run could occur!

“What’s happening?”

“An attack? Assassins?”

“Protect the lord!” “Sir, stand in the middle!”

Only two seconds later, the once peaceful banquet hall, filled with tables laden with all sorts of delicacies and pastries, was overturned and erected. They were solidified with Origin Quality and formed into temporary fortresses as simple protection walls.

The noble officials frowned and hid within them under the protection of their guards, cautiously observing their surroundings.

Because most of these nobles and officials wore Spirit Energy Jewelry, emitting a rather striking light, they stood out like individual lightbulbs in the dark red hall, casting reflections of myriad colors—convenient for the assault, but also convenient for protection.

“No assassins!”

Soon, the guards noticed that the danger did not come from their surroundings, but they became even more vigilant—this wasn’t an assassination targeting someone specific? Then it was an assault on the entire Siren?

Although very dangerous, luckily they were prepared in advance!

On a place like Terra, even officials who have long resided in the center or court must be cautious and skilled in various lifesaving secret techniques to handle sudden assaults.

It’s not surprising if strong individuals from other countries attempt assassinations, nor is it rare for domestic strong individuals to start fights over policy discussions.

Like when the Imperial Spirit Knowledge Institute and The Grand Library go to war… Normally, a researcher wouldn’t need to master combat skills, and a librarian wouldn’t need life-preservation techniques, right?

But when Count Phoenix and Chancellor Moze start fighting, their knights won’t care about professions; they come to battle, and if caught in the crossfire, who do you complain to?

At the end of the day, on the Terra Continent, the strong are revered!

And those who aren’t strong must learn how to survive!

“Looks like Magical Beasts have arrived.”

As for Sio, she was still eating her pastries at that moment.

She was not at all affected by the warning, continuing to delightedly put a roasted pastry into her mouth. The Dragon Maiden chewed in small bites and muttered to herself, while her eyes looked out to the distant sea beyond the Siren: “Wow… this number… Dragon Kings!”

Even the True Dragon couldn’t help but be a bit surprised: “Not to mention the quantity, but there are actually three Third Energy Level Beast Kings?!”

“In the Southern Sea, I’ve wandered for dozens of years, and only once did I see a Third Energy Level Sea Beast King!”

[Third-Level Sea Beast Attack Alert]

At this moment, the voice of the Siren’s captain, Captain Elden, rang out: [According to the Siren’s observations, three Third-Level Sea Beast Kings are approaching our ship. The escort ships surrounding the Siren have already engaged the Sea Beast formations, but the enemy group is too large, and the escort fleet cannot stop them]

[All of you are honored guests of Canaan Moore, and we will do our utmost to ensure your safety. The Empire’s South Sea Fleet and our Silent Sea Fleet are approaching, and I myself will immediately set out to negotiate with the Sea Kings, please do not worry…]

As soon as the phrase ‘three Third-Level Sea Beast Kings’ was spoken, the faces of all the nobles and officials present began to change, and upon hearing ‘please do not worry,’ even the most carefree couldn’t help but loudly complain: “Worry about what? Three Third-Level Sea Kings, what use is there in worrying?”

“If I had known it was this bad news, why did we even flip the tables?” Someone picked up their hat from the floor, putting it on while complaining: “I hadn’t even finished my portion of the crimson steak.”

“Indeed.” A Canaan Moore official who had initially been on alert wiped his glasses, sighed, and said, “However, I have no appetite left, let me write a will first.”

For a moment, there was even a brief warming of atmosphere in the banquet hall. Though some were close to wetting themselves from fear, given the psychological resilience of the Terra People, most rationally accepted that life and death are in the hands of fate.

They can’t be blamed for reacting too dramatically… because the fact that three Third-Level Great Magical Beasts are attacking together is dramatic in itself.

On Earth, the material cycle of most organisms revolves around land and the nearby sea. Actually, not many large organisms dwell in the open deep ocean, especially those remote waters thousands of kilometers from land, isolated from many land masses and ocean currents. Even fish have difficulty reaching them, only extremely low-level plankton and algae are found, with biological density comparable to a desert, or even less.

Most large marine creatures live near land and in ocean current areas, and the deep-sea zones, thousands of meters deep, rely on chemosynthetic bacteria, supported by undersea volcanoes and black smokers, to sustain small-scale ecosystems, unable to cultivate the mythical deep-sea behemoths imagined by ordinary people.

However, on Terra, it’s different.

Terra has Origin Quality and natural Spirit Energy.

Just like the super-giant Spirit Energy Field of the Yongji Ocean, which directly constructs a massive ocean current cycle in the sea, infusing Origin Quality derived from the sun into the deep sea, while the Spirit Energy Field siphons geothermal energy from weak points in the earth’s crust… this transforms the otherwise barren deep sea of Terra into a paradise for countless life forms to proliferate.
