"You want to shut down the wall?" Shaqira could not believe her ears.

The siren queen nodded and said, "The structure of the portal is very special. It is completely integrated with the wall. In fact, its contortions are directly based on the energy of the large wall. To interrupt the energy supply of the portal, the wall must be shut down."

Hasse, who had been looking on coldly suddenly asked, "What are the consequences of shutting down the wall?"

Shaqira thought for a while and shook her head slightly. "The wall isn't just a protective barrier; it's also the foundation of Nasaton's hidden system. It controls the space surrounding the deep-sea city. Once the wall goes down, the siren city will appear as a natural position on the Pacific Ocean's seabed. Humans and aliens will likely detect it—they could invade us if they're willing to pay the price. We'll lose the most important defense mechanism we've had for the past 10,000 years."

The siren queen placed her hand on a crystallized pipeline next to the Torrent Core, which immediately emitted a pleasing resonance. The queen tilted her head slightly and said, "I know what it means to make this decision, but that maelstrom is becoming more and more powerful. If we do not cut off the energy supply, it will reach a critical point within five days. If we cut it off, we will at least buy ourselves one month's worth of time. In any case, either both Nasaton and the earth gets destroyed by the maelstrom, or we let Nasaton be exposed to the world temporarily, which is at least a relatively better choice."

"Not only will the earth be destroyed, the whole universe will be dead," Hao Ren tried hard to emphasize the danger, but he did it mostly because he was just naturally the mouthy type.

"Shutting down the wall will only cause a temporary lost of the cloak, right? There may not necessarily be people looking for trouble during this time." Lily looked at them as she held up her hand and gave her piece of opinion. "At least I haven't heard of any plans from the humans to explore the Pacific Ocean recently. We just need to find a way to solve the maelstrom problem and restart the wall before that. What do you guys think?"

"I have the same thought." The siren queen nodded. "For 10,000 years, even the aliens of the Mythological Era rarely had the ability to come to such depths of the Pacific Ocean. Even for today's aliens and humans, to explore Nasaton is no child's play. We only need to close the wall for a month. A month later we either turn off the maelstrom or everyone dies..."

"There is only one worry." Vivian suddenly looked up at Hasse. "At present, there is a group who can make it into the Pacific Ocean, and they're strong enough to threaten the city. No matter how good your resurrection ability is, you can't fight their seals."

Hasse shrugged. "You mean the demon hunters? I don't think our credibility is that bad. We're not going to bully the harmless sirens."

"The main reason why you haven't done it is because you've never found Nasaton. You couldn't do damage to the sirens' foundation, hence the reason why you didn't want to provoke these seemingly immortal aliens. However, if Nasaton were to be exposed, things would be different. Hasse, as my junior, can you swear to me that no killing instinct arose in you at all when you saw the sirens?"

Hasse was silent. He suddenly stood up and pointed at the maelstrom image projected by the MDT. "Okay, in the face of this threat, we will be honest with you. My two apprentices and I assure you that we will shut our mouths regarding the shutting down of Nasaton's defense wall. If they detect Nasaton from other sources, we will also do everything in our power to stop them here for a month, including the most routine exploration activities."

Teuton nodded. "The three of us have the influence."

Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other. Then, he smacked his head as something crossed his mind. He grabbed the MDT that was acting as a projector. "Patch me through to Raven 12345 and turn on the loudspeaker."

The demon hunter had no clue what Hao Ren was doing. A hymn-like tone came ringing from the MDT, followed by the voice of a screaming female. "What's up?"

"Hey Madam, I'm in the city of the sirens, and someone here is about to make an oath," Hao Ren said. Summing up things in one sentence, he then pointed the MDT at Hasse. "Repeat what you've just said."

"What do you mean?" Hasse asked with a cautious look.

Hao Ren shrugged. "Repeat it in front of this witness. Don't tell me you didn't mean what you just said."

Hasse grunted. He did not feel any curse or spiritual power coming from the strange "communication device", so he calmly repeated his promise. When he finished, Hao Ren took the MDT back and telepathically asked, "Madam, you got it?"

Raven 12345's voice rang in his mind. "Yup. Remember to remind them not to break the promise. I'm not the one who's going to carry out the punishment. It'll be an automatic execution of the law of heaven and earth. It's not a joke."

Hao Ren turned off the transmission and turned to Hasse. "Whether you believe it or not, this witness has power unlike anything you've seen before. So, don't let any outside demon hunters disturb Nasaton besides the ones present today."

Hasse grunted. "It doesn't matter. My promise is more reliable than anything."

Vivian nodded to the siren queen. "Shut down the wall; let's figure out a way within this one month."

The siren queen placed her hand on the two crystalline pipelines near the core of the Torrent Core and began to issue a series of melodic voice signals. A weird resonance then spread from the nodes in the depths of Nasaton. Flowing light appeared across the surface of the gigantic sphere in the center of the hall as the light in some of the pipelines gradually dimmed. The wall above Nasaton began to flicker. Many of the sirens who were cleaning up the rubble in the city had sensed a strange sensation in the water. They looked up at the wall, which had never been shut down for more than 10,000 years. Many anxious sirens began to wander around to find out what was happening. Those who knew the truth or guessed it immediately called everyone to get back to work. On the outskirts of the city, General Vanaessa was having negotiations with some werewolves who had just been freed. The strange changes to the wall had attracted her attention. Seeing the water film gradually disappear, she sighed. "One hundred years of confusion... "

At the energy station in Nasaton, Hao Ren and the MDT kept their eyes on the the Torrent Core's operation data. They found an interesting phenomenon.

"There's a crack... an invisible crack in your energy network," the MDT's radar had detected the interaction between the Torrent Core and the wall. It projected a large hologram of the entire city of Nasaton. "Is your city's energy of a broadcast type?"

As Sorma was a city technician in the past, Sorma was very familiar with this aspect. "Yes, the Torrent Core is connected to the 227 towers around the city. These relay towers can broadcast magic power throughout the entire city and their broadcast limit is the wall."

"The model is completed," the MDT whistled loudly. The hologram flickered a moment before a large number of staggered lines appeared over the city's model. The converging lines were most dense at the top of the wall, where the maelstrom was located. Just below the maelstrom, there was a crack marked in lavender color.

"What's that?" Shaqira asked in surprise.

"A rift. An unstable but invidible spatial channel," the MDT explained. "Your spaceship was definitely damaged when it landed on Earth. Although it seems that its energy core is still operating normally, there's an abnormal turbulence at the top of the broadcast field. It's leading to the instability of the space there, and in the unlikely event, it could connect to the Plane of Dreams—undoubtedly, that's how the brain monster came in. Its plan was also very simple: to expand the rift and stabilize it. So, it allowed the sirens to create a giant portal at the top of the wall... When the center of the maelstrom grew to completely merge with that rift, the portal would then open."
