Chapter 582: The Strange Siren General

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everyone cautiously surrounded the siren general. The latter looked weak and like the mermaid princess in the fairy tale, it was hard to imagine she was the one who had caused the storm just now. The remaining turbulence in the air still reminded them the danger of this siren. There was still a gleam of golden light in the eyes of Lily; she appeared guarded as she bowed slightly. "Would she wake up suddenly and beat everyone up?"

"She's already exhausted. Even if she goes crazy again, not much damage she could do," said Shaqira, checking the status of the siren general. "She has scents of many places in the deep sea, as if she had wandered over a long distance before she made it here. The Shrouded Isle is still a thousand nautical miles from here."

Nangong Sanba appeared a little shaken. "The sirens could be so brutal when they go mad; I thought they were all peaceful all this while."

Y'zaks smiled with the corner of his mouth twisted upward. "Am I not usually quite peaceful?"

"It's not that sirens don't know how to fight, we just dislike fighting. We do have professional soldiers." Shaqira said without looking. "If necessary, we can set off storms large enough to swallow several kingdoms at the sea; just that we are not fond of the land."

As soon as Shaqira's voice trailed off, the siren general's tail suddenly twitched, then coughed violently. Under the eyes of everyone, the mighty siren slowly opened her eyes: her resilience was equally surprising.

Sorma immediately stepped forward to help hold Vanaessa up. "General, how do you feel? What happened in the deep sea?"

The siren's eyes swept across the sky blankly, as if she could not see them. She murmured lifelessly. Hao Ren listened for a long while before he realized the siren was just repeating the same sentence: "... ...crazy, our queen has gone crazy... our queen has gone crazy..."

Vivian bent over and checked her. "Her state of mind doesn't seem to be normal."

"General, can you hear me, general?" Shaqira shook the siren general's shoulders. "I'm Shaqira, the messenger that set off a hundred years ago. We...we were ordered to return to Nasaton. What happened to the deep sea?"

When the siren general heard the name 'Nasaton,' ta light flashed across her eyes. She suddenly forced herself up and held Shaqira's arms. "Don't go back! Don't go near Nasaton! It's been contaminated! It's been contaminated! The monster is in control of that place!"

"That's exactly why we're going there; to clean up the contamination," Hao Ren stepped forward and grabbed Vanaessa's hand. "Tell us about the situation in Nasaton."

The siren general looked at the stranger puzzlingly. She was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, in an unstable state of mind. A layer of haze floated on her eyes, but she could still instinctively stay awake. She replied as in dream, "... Queen... she's not our Queen. She has something else in her body. A devil has possessed her body... She ordered all sirens to return and forced us to draw the power of this planet. A giant whirlpool was forming on the protective wall of Nasaton... The monster is constantly occupying the hearts of more sirens. It spreads like a plague in our brains. I... I have it too..."

The siren general seemed to choke in her word as if she was strangled. She hugged her head in pain and seemed to be trying to force something out of her brain. "It's in my mind! It's here! It knows you're coming! Go back and don't go near Nasaton. Escape to the other side of the planet, where there is still a chance to survive..."

A big hand suddenly pressed on Vanaessa's forehead, and the siren's pain came to an abrupt end, as though she had been put to sleep by hypnosis. Y'zaks pulled back his hand and shrugged innocently. "I really don't like the idea of demons be blamed for everything. It's clearly the brain that is controlling the Queen of the Siren."

"Is she recovering?" Nangong Wuyue used the tip of her tail tip to poke the siren general. "You've expelled the evil spirit out from her soul?"

"No, I've just forced her soul to calm down," Y'zaks shook his head. "There's a noise in her soul that was intertwined with her spiritual world. It's not so easy to get rid of it. Maybe we need to find Nasaton before we can solve her problem."

Hao Ren clapped his hands and stood up. "She just said that the monster knew we were coming. I'm afraid we have to hurry up. The brain can gather information through the 'chess' it controls."

"What should we do?" Shaqira looked pale as she glanced down at the siren general who was asleep. "There will be more sirens tracking us down. Are you going to leave the general in this place, are you?"

"This is not my style, but it's also unwise to bring her with along with us." Hao Ren shook his head and pulled out the MDT. "Send her to the Kuiper shelter and dispatch several 'little squids' (autonomous robots) to take care of her. I hope we'd have done with the things here when she wakes up."

The siren general was teleported to an unknown location under the watchful eyes of them. Hasse was careless as he saw it as a convenient spatial magic: Human shamans always had a lot of weird magical props and homemade spells. He felt that it was not surprising that a shaman who could walk with the Countess of the Crimson Moon must have his strength.

He instead glanced curiously at Vivian. "Your power seems to have declined slightly, Countess?"

Vivian's expression stiffened up and smiled slyly. "It's just fatigue, fatigue…"

Hasse did not ask further but said indifferently, "You look completely different from when you came and wreaked havoc in the European headquarter of the demon hunters back then."

Vivian was a bit dumbfounded. "When did I wreak havoc in your European headquarter?"

At this time, a blue light flashed in Hao Ren's pocket as the MDT had completed the escort mission. He patted his pocket and interrupted the conversation surrounding the old grudges of the two. "Let's not talk about this now, we need to move quickly. Shaqira, Sorma, please speed up."

The ice floe platform quickly melted into a bubble. They returned to the water to continue their journey. This time, the air bubble moved much faster than before. With the help of magic, the air bubble moved at several times of the speed of sound. At this speed, they should be arriving The Shrouded Isle in no time.

Hao Ren looked up at the shadows and lights gliding past them. He recalled the battle that had just happened a while ago and felt curious. "Where did the ghost ship come from? Do you think the sirens could summon the human shipwreck as a weapon?"

Shaqira shook her head immediately. "No, it was General Vanaessa. That was her combat form."

Lily was shocked. "What? You guys can become... that kind of thing?"

"How many times have I said that the water is amorphous?" Nangong Wuyue seemed to be frustrated with the lack of the imagination of them. "We use water to shape our bodies, so anything that we have seen and completely submerged in water can be imitated. If necessary, we can also turn into reefs, corals, marine beasts, and of course, shipwrecks—all it takes is use water to sense its details.

Hao Ren was stunned, as he had never imagined these things.

Nangong Wuyue raised a finger and said, "If necessary, I can even transform into Kursk or Bismarck—because I have seen them in the water—but not warships in active service. I at most can transformed into their structure below the waterline. However, it's somewhat meaningless, as I can't understand the operation principle of that kind of thing. Therefore, in the end I still have to rely on my water magic in combat; even if I change into a nuclear submarine I wouldn't be able to shoot out missiles and torpedoes. Only those who have real strength could become super warship and siren like me... mantis shrimp would be good enough."

The atmosphere was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Hao Ren scratched his chin for a long moment before he suddenly figured out something. "Wait a second. If that's the case, those phantom ships recorded in human history are..."

"There are sirens that came out on patrol," said Shaqira, poking her head into the bubble from outside. "Some people in Northern Europe like to say that siren had deluded the captain, ate the crew and controlled the empty ship and found more victims at sea. However, the actual situation is a bit different: the phantom ship is the siren itself, we use water to shape our body into that object, but we've never harmed anyone, we just find the sunken ships interesting, that's all about it. Sorma, it's your shift now."

Everyone was speechless.

Lily held her arms and pondered for a while. The she suddenly grabbed Nangong Wuyue's tail and said, "When on the way back, can you change into USS Lexington?"

Nangong Wuyue rolled her eyes. "...oh god, spare me!"

After swimming in the water for some time, Sorma finally came back in and reported to everyone. "We're near The Shrouded Isle."
